Do I need to be pre-qualified before shopping for a home?
Most sellers and/or realtors require you to be pre-qualified prior to viewing a home to ensure you have financial backing to support the purchase. Getting pre-qualified is beneficial in helping you see what you can afford and determining your price range. It will also allow you to confirm you meet all financing requirements prior to signing a home contract.
How can I view interest rates?
Interest rates are determined by several factors including credit score, down payment, loan term, debt to income ratio, and more. Unlike a Consumer Loan, Mortgage rates fluctuate daily. Once you sign a sales contract on a property, an interest rate can be locked in with your lender. Contact a lender to discuss the daily rate applicable to you.
Do I need to be a member before I can apply for a loan?
To receive a loan from MCT, you must be a member. If you are not currently a member, MCT would ensure you are eligible to be a member first, then process your loan application. If your loan application is denied, you do not have to move forward with opening your membership.
What is an escrow account and how does it work?
An escrow account is an account that’s managed by your mortgage lender to pay property taxes and insurance for your home. When you make your monthly payment, a portion of the payment goes into this escrow account and will build until your taxes and insurance are due. Your lender will handle sending payments for taxes and insurance when due. An escrow account is optional if you put 20% or more as a down payment on your purchase. If you put down less than 20%, an escrow account is required.
