There are many ways to prepare to buy a home, but a major one is to ensure your finances are completely sound. A lender is going to request many financial documents, one of which will be your bank statements. While it might seem like an insignificant request compared to your taxes or paystubs, your bank statements are vital to get your loan approved. So, what do mortgage lenders review on bank statements?

The simple explanation is that a mortgage lender needs to ensure you have sufficient funds to cover the down payment, closing costs, and some might even want to see if you have enough reserves to cover the first few mortgage payments. It is paramount these funds belong to you and they have been in your account for a while. Underwriters are thoroughly trained to pinpoint all unacceptable sources of funds, hidden debts and other red flags by analyzing your bank statements. Before you begin the homebuying process, it is best to ensure you don’t have anything questionable on your statements that will raise a red flag.

Applying for a loan is not something to take lightly. Your lender is going to inspect your finances to ensure you have the money you say you do, and that the money is really yours. It is best to analyze your finances from the perspective of a lender a few months before applying for a loan to ensure you reduce the risk of having any red flags. This will also give you time to gather the documentation or explanations you might need in case you think something will catch the lender’s eye. Keep it simple both before and during the application process by not adding or taking out any unnecessary funds, and to help ensure you have a smooth experience.

LINTHICUM, MD, July 28, 2017 — NFM Lending, a mortgage lending company, is pleased to announce the new location of their corporate headquarters at 1190 Winterson Road, Suite 300, Linthicum, MD 21090. All branch locations across the United States will remain unchanged.

The move comes as the result of rapid growth in recent years. Since 2015, NFM Lending has nearly doubled in size, and has expanded into the Midwest and western United States, adding branches in Ohio, Colorado, and Arizona.

“This is another big milestone for NFM,” said David Silverman, CEO. “As we enter our 20th year in business, our corporate headquarters is moving into a brand new, state-of-the-art space in Maryland. Less than a half a mile from our former headquarters, we are excited to begin the next chapter of the NFM story and look forward to helping as many of our clients realize ownership of the home of their dreams.”

NFM Lending opened its doors in 1998 in Baltimore, MD, with just four Loan Originators, and has since grown to have over 400 employees and more than 35 branches nationwide. The corporate office houses all NFM Lending’s operations.

“I am very excited about our move,” said Bob Tyson, COO/CAO. “We have come a long way from a small office in the heart of Baltimore City to now proudly displaying our logo on the front of a 4-story building in Linthicum. Throughout our growth, we have always focused on taking care of our number one asset: our employees. Our new space is full of upgrades and amenities to further enhance our employees’ experience while they provide our customers with exceptional service. It is truly an exciting time to be part of the NFM family.”

If you are a homeowner, you may have considered refinancing your current mortgage. Refinancing can offer many advantages to help you meet your financial goals. If you are just starting to look into refinancing, or have been thinking about it for a while, here are three benefits that you should consider.

It may be possible to obtain a lower interest rate by refinancing your current mortgage loan.* A lower interest rate means that your monthly mortgage payments would be lower. This could save you money monthly or you could make payments directly to the principal of your loan, allowing you to build your home equity quicker and reducing your interest. A lower interest rate is the most popular reason that homeowners choose to refinance.

You can take advantage of the equity you have built in your home with a cash-out refinance. To take advantage of this, you would refinance your current mortgage for more than the amount you owe, and keep the extra money. For example, if you owe $150,000 on a home worth $250,000, you have $100,000 worth of equity in your home. You could refinance your home for $175,000, and receive a check for the $25,000 difference. You could use this money for home improvements and remodeling, or any other household needs you may have.

Another refinancing option is to shorten your loan term, so you pay your home off in less time. For example, you might switch from a 30-year loan to a 20-year loan. This would allow you to build equity faster, and pay off your loan in less time, with the same (or marginally higher) monthly payments. If you have an adjustable-rate or interest-only loan, you may be able to refinance to a fixed-rate loan product that may save you money over the life of your loan, and may allow you to build equity.

Whether you want to lower your monthly payment, build equity, or get cash for projects, refinancing can be a step towards meeting your financial goals. To find out if refinancing is right for you, talk to one of our licensed Mortgage Loan Originators today!

*Refinancing an existing loan may result in the total finance charges being higher over the life of the loan.
