Q -
Should I use my local bank for my
mortgage?
A
- Of course you can.
However, just because
you have a savings, checking, or other
accounts with a local bank is not a
guarantee that they will provide you with
the best mortgage program. If in doubt, get a quote from them and
then compare it
to our program.
We promise to beat
any offers you have.
Q -
What should I do if I get a lower
rate from another lender?
A
-
We urge you to shop around for
the best deal that you qualify for. Keep in
mind though, that the best deal on fees is not
necessarily the one with lowest interest rate.
Unfortunately, some lenders may lure you in
with a very low rate that
you'll pay for,
or place conditions on the deal that you
cannot meet and then raise the rate,
sometimes significantly.
At TFC
Tricont Mortgage, we are open, honest
and will provide you with all the information you
need to choose the mortgage that meet your
financial needs and goals. We urge you to have a conversation with
a Tricont Mortgage Client Advisor before
making this very important money decision. The
best mortgage for you is the one that take
care of your present and future needs.
Q -
Should I get pre-qualified?
A
-
It is a good idea to get
pre-qualified as it will help you know how
much you can borrow, and what loan amount and
type you can afford. Simply complete our
3
easy steps mortgage questionnaire or call us
at (803) 317-2500 to begin the journey. Our
pre-qualification takes minutes and carries
no obligation.
When purchasing a home, sellers often request
a pre-approval certificate. A pre-approval certificate is a
useful tool for buyers (you)
during negotiation. Also, a pre-approval is
helpful to both buyer and seller in getting
to a faster closing.
Q -
How will you handle my personal
documents?
A
-
We provide you with the
convenience of both ONLINE and OFFLINE
access and programs. The process entails a
combination of the telephone, fax, online, email
or through regular mail. We will use
whichever is easiest and most convenient for
you. At Tricont, we meet or surpass the
state requirements for safety.

Yes, there are programs available
for people with less than perfect credit.

advisor for more information on what is

Q -
How long will my loan process take?
A
-
Each borrower is unique, as is the
loan product selected. How long the process
takes will depends on how quickly you respond
to our request for information and documents
needed to do the loan and the location of the property. i.e.
state laws and regulations. However, we
usually close refinance loans quicker than
purchase loans because a purchase usually
has 2 parties involved rather than just the
homeowner.

fee. NRCC fees are usually tax deductable.

are charged in connection with

also charged on an ongoing basis to
homeowners. Examples
of Recurring Closing Costs are; prepaid
interest, property taxes and hazard
insurance. Other fees may be included
depending on your transaction and/or
location.
Q -
Is there a way to avoid paying
closing costs?
A
-
No, closing costs are paid on all
mortgage financing. However, depending on
your loan terms and the mortgage product
selected, TFC Tricont Mortgage may include
or pay for
some or all of your closing costs in
exchange for choosing a little higher
interest rate.
Q -
What is an escrow/impound account?
A
-
An escrow account is established to pay your property taxes, homeowner’s
insurance, flood insurance and mortgage
insurance (if required) when they become
due. If your mortgage requires an
escrow/impound account, then your regular
monthly mortgage payment will include
principal, interest and an escrow payment.
Your escrow payment is based on 1/12th of
the annual estimated payments for your
property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, flood
insurance and mortgage insurance (if
required).

escrow account for me?

and some other government
loans.

of flood insurance coverage. The Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the
National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994
prohibit Federal agency lenders from
originating home loans in Flood Zone "A" or
"V" unless flood insurance has been
purchased by the homeowner and is maintained
during the term of the loan.
Q -
Can I choose my appraiser?
A

No. The law requires mortgage
financing providers to order an appraisal

appraisal companies to insure that a timely
and appropriate evaluation is provided at a
competitive value.
Q -
What is a loan-to-value ratio
(LTV)?
A
-
The Loan-to-Value ratio is the
ratio determined by dividing the loan amount
you seek by the value of your property or
the sales price, whichever is less. For
example, if you are purchasing a property
that is selling and appraising for $200,000
and you would like to borrow $150,000, the
LTV is 75%. The loan-to-value ratio is one
consideration in qualifying all borrowers
for a loan.

What is private mortgage insurance
(PMI)?
A
-
Private mortgage insurance (PMI)

their payments in a timely manner, resulting

the loan-to-value ratio is greater than 80
percent.
Q -
Do I get a tax advantage from
having a mortgage?

or accountant for specific details, but
interest on a mortgage is usually tax

credit cards or auto loans is not normally
tax deductible. Please talk to a tax
specialist for more information.
