By teaming up with United American
Mortgage, we can help you save hundreds of dollars
a month by helping you:
- Documentation/Application
- Calculate your net worth
(Assets - Liabilities)
- Verify your credit report for accuracy
and know your credit score
- Know and Find the best interest rate
available
- Find the lowest points available and
qualifying ratios
- Know the lowest or best available down
payment
mortgage fees you are required to pay
- Know the escrow and closing cost for
a given loan
- Know the maximum loan you can afford
- Know your estimated monthly principle
and interest payment. Then add the estimated tax and insurance
payment. It will appear as estimated P+I+T+I=total monthly
mortgage payment.
- Loan cost comparison with multiple lenders.

We can help you with important questions like:
- Is the rate fixed or adjustable?
(When interest rates rise, monthly payments for adjustable-rate
loans eventually go up, too.)
- How long do I have to pay off my Mortgage loan?
(You can choose between a 30-year or 15-year mortgage.
A 30-year will mean lower monthly payments but a higher
interest rate. In the long run, you'll be paying more for
your home because you'll be making more interest payments.
With a 15-year mortgage, the monthly bill will be higher
but the interest rate lower; thus you'll pay less for your
house because it will be paid off in a shorter period of
time.)
- What is the loan's Annual Percentage Rate (APR)?
(This includes the total sum of the interest rate,
points, broker fees and any credit charges you may have
to pay, expressed as a yearly rate.)
- What will points be in dollars?
(Points are fees paid to the lender or broker for the loan.
Ask each potential lender for a quote in the dollar amount—rather
than just the number of points—so you'll know how
much you will have to pay.
- Is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) required?
( If you make less than a 20% down, the lender will probably
require you to purchase PMI, which protects the lender in
case you fail to pay.)
- How much is the exact monthly amount?
- How long will I will be required to carry PMI?
