Do you know how an interest rate and APR are different? How about the difference between applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing loan?
Our FAQ section was put together by mortgage and refinancing experts to provide our customers with simple, easy to understand answers to your questions.
A mortgage rate is the interest rate on your home loan that’s impacted by inflation, the Federal Reserve, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, and your credit score. Your monthly mortgage payment includes the interest you owe on your outstanding loan balance and a portion of the principal itself. Apply today.
Refinancing is a good idea when you want to obtain a better interest rate on your loan. Get a quote to see how much lower your monthly payments could be.
The first step is to begin the pre-approval process. Upon completion, you will know how much you’ve been approved to borrow based on your income, savings, and credit. This step is necessary before you make an offer on a home. And since you’re already here, let us help you get started today.
We offer conventional, fixed rate, cashout, and investment property. Read more about how these differ in our Mortgage Learning Center to determine which one might be best for you, or speak to one of our loan advisors at 800.520.7087.
The loan term or ‘repayment period’ on your mortgage determines how large your mortgage payments will be and how much interest you’ll pay overtime. The most common are 15 or 30-year loan terms. The best way to determine your loan term is based on your monthly budget. Shorter terms cost less over time but have higher monthly payments.
Applying is easy! We take you through the application step-by-step and are here to answer any questions you have along the way.
To lock in your rate, you don’t need an actual lock. Just complete your online application and make sure to authorize our system to pull your credit report at the end. We know it sounds like we’re being picky, but you really do need to complete all those steps before your rate is locked in. Rates are locked-in for up to 90 days.
We don’t like surprises and would love to explain any terms, rates, and appraisal, title or closing fees to you. Just contact your dedicated loan advisor directly by dialing 800.520.7087, so they can explain how your loan was calculated. You can log into your account online by clicking the "Log In" button on this page.
The exact documentation and information necessary will depend on the borrower, loan, and associated financials. Typical document requests include, but are not limited to copies of driver’s licenses and social security cards, 30-days worth of your most recent paystubs, your last two W2s, your last two tax returns (all pages), your most recent retirement account statement, your two most recent bank statements (all pages), documentation to source any non-payroll deposits into your bank accounts, contact information for your homeowners’ insurance, and a current mortgage statement. Please contact your personal loan advisor with any questions.
Once your loan is approved, make sure to answer any calls or emails from the scheduling and closing departments as they will assist you in the final steps of closing your loan. This process can take up to two weeks.
Borrower Support is standing by to help with any questions or issues you may have with your new loan. Questions can be emailed to borrowersupport@zeromortgage.com or 877.943.4778.
