The benefits of a second mortgage

Owning a home allows you to build home equity which, in turn, opens up new financial options. One of these options is home equity loans, better known as a second mortgage. These loans can be a great relief when you have unexpected expenses but they’re not free money so use them carefully. CM

Standard lease agreement

Residential lease forms can vary from but are all built around a standard lease agreement. When entering into a residential lease it’s a good idea to review a sample agreement so you can get an idea of what you’re getting into before you sign your lease. CM

Tenant screening services and you

After you turn in your application for rental for your tenant lease your information will be forwarded to tenant screening services. These services help the property owners decide if you’re eligible to rent from them or not. This is where maintaining a good credit rating is important. CM

The underwriting process

The home buying process is very detailed and your lender will take all the necessary precautions before finalizing a deal. There will be a home appraisal to determine the value of the property and also a underwriting to help determine any financial risk on the lenders end.
