Before securing financing for a property, it is important to be familiar with a few mortgage basics: the loan process, types of loan programs available, common mortgage terms, and factors affecting your loan, such as credit. You will also find this information helpful when refinancing.
This section contains information that will help you better understand how mortgage financing works. However, you should still consult an experienced Loan Officer when you have questions or need advice or should you need someone to explain refinancing a mortgage.
