The fact that us, new home buyers, are able to get such a valuable information and a great advice for free it just amazing. I appreciate you so much for taking the time to team us and advise us. I just began the home buying process and every time I come across a great video like yours, it gives me a great deal of knowledge so i am prepared to take off. Thanks
This is by far the most insightful, well-organized, and to-the-point home buying video I’ve seen. No BS, no TH-cam/vlogger corniness. Thank you so much for these videos. They’re perfect!
Value?: prepay penalties? Where does underwriting take place? Percentage of closing costs? I just implemented several things from this and other videos today and it was helpful in a big way!
Hey Andrew. Almost had a heartbreaking situation happen. My lender dropped the ball. The builder gave us a list of things to have done before closing. Well it got to that date. And my lender didnt have their stuff together. which cause delays in closing. which cause some friction between the lender and the builder. the builder ultimately decided to cancel my transaction. Leaving me without the home i watched be built for 4 month. Luckily for me the builder was open to me using their preferred lender to continue my transaction. And hopefully I'll be in my home in 2 weeks.
The most impactful thing about this video was you helping us know where to start when looking to buy a home. I will be a first-time home buyer and the questions you have given us to ask mortgage lenders are extremely helpful! I have written down every question and I am prepared for when I do speak to a lender. Thank you, sir!
I am doing my homework before we buy and I really loved the questions to ask the Lender. Every one of them because the more you ask the less you will be able to be taken advantage of as a first-time buyer.

SEMPR FI! You left out the most important question( probably on purpose). How much are YOU MAKING on my loan!! Very important. Some brokers steer you towards loans that pay a higher Commish that may not benefit you but makes them more money.. They MUST disclose this info! Conveniently, he left that one out?? Do not trust any brokers!! I'm a broker!
yas c What’s the difference you have to pay the fee! Do not be shy ask 1 million questions make sure you know where your moneys going they have to show it to you by law. I hate people getting jammed up. Read read read
Being a local lender is much more advantageous since they know, or should know, the local market; employment, income, demographics, loan limits, FTHB guidelines, etc... love the video, the only part I would scrutinize a little more is the selling of the loan. It happens all he time and makes for much more aggressive rates and product diversity. When the loan is sold, the terms and the rate stays the same, so why not sell it. In the grand scheme of things, they’re all packaged and sold on Wall Street anyway, just in a larger scale. Love the video, but a selling of a Lon versus servicing is most common and no one should ever worry about it being sold.
I am a home mortgage consultant and every loan I do is via phone. In today’s technological age while face to face interactions are more tangible, I find that my clients really enjoy the flexibility and ability to do their mortgage start to finish with me over the phone and then close in person with their title company ect. There were some great points in this video if anyone has any questions feel free to let me know I am happy to help however possible. Thanks for sharing!

First time home buyer here and I was referred to an agency that specializes in "stacking" down payment assistance programs by a Community Development Corporation that offered a free Homebuyers Education Workshop. I'm wondering what some potential major differences may be between them and a major bank like Chase because that's where my checking account is, if any at all
Thank so much for the information. I spoke with my broker today and asked her all these questions and got the answers that I needed. This was very very helpful and neeeded at I start the search for a home. Thanks again!
I liked the discussion of points. I recently been pre-approved and have been looking at the math of buying points and also came to the conclusion that it might only be worthwhile if you keep the loan for the full 30 years.

Enjoyed the video. I'm curious how can we trust the answer to closing percentage? Are there public records or do we have to just take their word for it. Great video. I like that you tell us to understand all of the potential fees that may be hidden. Also I like the first question where you ask, based on our goals, what do you recommend. I need to sit down and flesh out my goals. Thanks!

Your videos are very helpful! I like the way you explained the points buying system. So if we go through the builder's lender, and not shop around for other lenders, is that still something you recommend? Thank you so much.
Terrific question May DD! In short, that's one variable that caused issues in with the collapse across multiple markets in 2008. It reached a point that homeowners didn't know who their service providers were, where to make their mortgage payments, and ballooning costs they the homeowner didn't agree to. Even though, under President Obama, that Dodd Frank act was passed to tighten/ regulate the process, in my humble opinion, a lending company that services their own loans is a better bet than those that sale the mortgage note. Wikipedia: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodd%E2%80%93Frank_Wall_Street_Reform_and_Consumer_Protection_Act Either way, it's something to consider. Some may care and some may not. You now which camp I'm in on the matter. What would you like to watch next?
The last 1 was the biggest im thinking unless im mistaken. If my mortgage is sold or traded while im paying off my home, id imagine the new lenders would increase the interest rate🤔? Very sneaky business😞

With mortgage lenders as with real estate agents, I think experience is everything. I can't fathom why anyone would go to a boutique mortgage lender when the source of money is ultimately the bank, which has in house underwriters right there!! Better than going to a flashy brokerage house with lots of brokers who want a cut of your $$$. I went straight to a few banks. Legit service cutting out all the middle men who want a handout.

Awesome video and how generous of you to offer to answer questions. The knowledge and list of questions lets me know I have a lot to learn in a few short months. Thanks for the red alert.
Thank you for this. We have been facilitating reverse mortgages for over 10 years and are adding forward options to what we do and I found this helpful as I sort out how to approach the new loan products.
This was very enlightening. I'm not a new home buyer, I've purchased a home and refinanced it previously... and you cleared up some things for me that other people never did. I know the right questions to ask now. The last go-around I chose my bank because I knew they weren't going to sell my mortgage. They had already told me that.. but I didn't know I could ask and get the truth. Thank you!
Hey Eboni! Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad you took so much value from this video. Just out of curiosity what would you like to watch next? Sending you positive vibes everything goes your way!

As the loanee, what do I gain from confirming my home loan is not sold to another brokerage? You said that the selling process is what lead to the 08 financial collapse but as a single home buyer, are there financial benefits or disadvantages to a broker keeping or selling my loan?
I took away that local lender may be better. I always assumed that a big lender would be best in terms of resources and rates. I liked the explanation of points, never understood the lingo but heard it often. Thanks.
Such an important takeaway! Getting the best mortgage is more than just the best rates. The lowest rate could still cost you money in the long run if it is not the best product for you :)
Hi Destinee! Thank you for watching. It's great to hear from you! Super happy you enjoyed this video. Yay! Gave you a shout out in this week's live episode: th-cam.com/video/gwSox6U0Mgo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for watching! Enjoy a beautiful day! Thanks, -Andrew Finney www.andrewfinneyteam.com/
thank you. a question off topic. I'm going to start the homebuying process soon. I'm planning on paying the mortgage twice a month instead of 1. how long is it gonna take me to pay off the loan?
I have had several home loans over my life and they all have been sold to another company. Many of them before I even make the first payment. Never had a problem with them selling my loans.
Great video. I'm dealing with a pretty good lender but their communication skills are a bit lacking, at least the LO i'm dealing with seems to be lacking. I always get the sense that she's really busy, which is understandable, but I feel a bit neglected because of it. I can usually prod the info out of them with an email or phone call, but I really wish they'd call me or email me as soon as they get an update on something, even if it's not a major event. They've been great with asking for whatever they need for underwriting, signing papers etc, but like with right now we're waiting for the USDA RD approval and they haven't really said anything to me for a week. So I call them yesterday and they say 'oh yeah we called them this morning to see their turnaround time and they said they should have it done tomorrow". I wish they would've let me know that. Right now we're 2 days out of closing and still haven't gotten the USDA approval, so I'm slightly panicking and just trusting that the lender/usda/title company communication is wide open and coordinated behind the scenes. I'm sure they got it all figured out, it's a very reputable company and in the top 5 of USDA approved lenders. I just wish they'd keep me more updated on what's going on.
Hi PeabodysParadise, Thank you for watching and for sharing your situation with us. That makes a lot of sense. You've hit the nail on the head in so many ways with this comment.

Thank you for sharing these great tips Andrew! I just have one question, is there a way to verify their successful closing rate? They could just give me a high number and I wouldn’t know if it’s true or not
great video! .. i have a question on an experience i had..I got a CTC on a loan while insurance was re-rating , 2 months later insurance comes back and states insurance is $500 a month ?!? when the borrower closed with $35/month.. is this legal even though they closed their contract with a much lower rate ? lender does not want to assume responsibility??
Thanks your video was very helpful. Question I was to purchase a hoiuse in Jamaica (my first and as an investment and later live in after retirement in 10 yrs) are there any mortgage company in the US who offer loans for this?
Hi Korede Fanilola, Thank you for watching and for reaching out! It's great to hear from you!

Andrew I have a question in your experience would you happen to know 2 questions? 1st who is the best and honest lender in Jefferson county Missouri. And 2nd who is the best honest reality in Jefferson county Missouri. Only reason I ask is you really can't trust the internet anymore with the internet neutrality with Agencies basically making their customers write a good review and the same with loan agents. It's hard today with all the False information out there. I'm looking to buy a house but with the market being crazy pricing houses that I know are valued at 140,000 being priced at 220,000 you just don't want to buy. It's extremely easy to find the value of a home but extremely hard to find an honest loan company or real estate agent or company to give a honest price or rate they end up making the purchase to where you end up paying every person involved in the transaction basically paying all their mortgages it's getting out of hand.
When I talk to an lender they give me a quote with the estimated monthly mortage payment ( including pmi,insurance , etc) And the hazard insurance is a different price at ever lender I’ve been to & I’ve seen that it really affects the total mortage payment. My question is do you pick your home insurance or does your lender ? ( I live in Florida )
Hi Amber Rose! Thank you for watching. It's great to hear from you! Super happy you enjoyed this video. Yay! Great question! Answered your question in this week's live episode: th-cam.com/video/gwSox6U0Mgo/w-d-xo.html Hope to see in the next live session. I go live every Wednesday at 11am PST. =) Thanks again for watching!

#5!!! I want to know every cost pertaining to the closing of the home. I have heard of buyers not being an,e to close due to “pop-up” costs. You’d think 🤔 the damn Realtor or loan officer would advise beforehand. I don’t buy houses every day and I wouldn’t expect someone like me to know everything needed to complete a business transaction such as this! That in and of itself would be enough for me to just get up and walk the hell out.
Hi Harry! You're so right and I couldn't agree with you more! Transparency is the key (at least imho) as is open, honest, conversations. Here's one of a few videos I created a while back about buyer closing costs: th-cam.com/video/viofaNXQFiw/w-d-xo.html What would you like to watch next?
Hi Preston! Thank you for watching! What's most important in choosing a lender is your comfort level with the loan officer, their communication abilities, and their closing rate. Whenever possible, as a professional, I prefer working with a solid local loan officer for due to great response and ease of reaching them. Having worked with clients selecting a larger financial institution I've found it is generally much difficult to reach them and that they don't seem to care much about any one buyer since they are often tasked with working multiple files. When they aren't in the same time zone it adds another layer so needless difficulty on getting things done. These are just my observations from my own experiences helping 170 families buy/ sell their homes. That said I'm sure, like any profession, that there are some great loan officers in that and other organizations. Hopefully this helps you?

My grandmother passed away in October her house has had a loan took out on it.how many payments can u miss before the bank takes the house and. How do I take over the payments
Hi Christopher Bailey, I'm very sorry to hear about your Grandmother's passing. I'm sending you and your family positive mojo and healing vibes as you remember the wonderful times and rejoice in celebrating her life, just as she probably would want ya'll to do. That said, one can only miss 3 mortgage payments before a notice of default is filed against the property. That's the beginning of the foreclosure process. Call the bank to see how you can assume the mortgage payments, it may require you to take out a loan in your name. If you're not getting anywhere with them, it may be wise to contact a real estate attorney in your area to help you. Wishing ya'll all the best for a favorable outcome moving forward! =)

"I hope they like that truck because they just lost their home" 😂 Great info here!
But it's a cybertruck 😭

Hey Andrew. Almost had a heartbreaking situation happen. My lender dropped the ball. The builder gave us a list of things to have done before closing. Well it got to that date. And my lender didnt have their stuff together. which cause delays in closing. which cause some friction between the lender and the builder. the builder ultimately decided to cancel my transaction. Leaving me without the home i watched be built for 4 month. Luckily for me the builder was open to me using their preferred lender to continue my transaction. And hopefully I'll be in my home in 2 weeks.
Who was the lender?
How's it going?
That sounds stressful! I"m glad things eventually worked out for you!
Inquiring minds want to know .. did you get in .. we hope.

Yes Ma'am, please do sit down and get in touch with the reasons why you're buying your new home and why it's important to you along with your overall goals. Doing so will provide you with immense clarity and focus moving forward.

Please circle back with us and let us know what you decide to do and how everything is progressing for you.
Thanks again for watching! Wishing you and yours all the best with perfect health and safety!
See you soon. =)

On a side note, if you're curious about what's happening in the current real estate market, here's a link to my newest video: th-cam.com/video/reaGPfUQJ5I/w-d-xo.html
I’m here as a new loan officer just to make sure I’m able to service my borrowers to the best of my abilities! The experience thing killed me because I’m told I inform people much better then some MLOs that have been doing it for years because some things we are learning are just second nature to them!
Every expert was once a beginner.
Excellent video with an accurate information... I didn't hear YSP I was waiting for... anyway thanks 👍
Great video ; extremely helpful and insightful

Your videos are very helpful! I like the way you explained the points buying system.
So if we go through the builder's lender, and not shop around for other lenders, is that still something you recommend? Thank you so much.
All good but why would I care if they sell the loan once it is closed?
Terrific question May DD!
In short, that's one variable that caused issues in with the collapse across multiple markets in 2008. It reached a point that homeowners didn't know who their service providers were, where to make their mortgage payments, and ballooning costs they the homeowner didn't agree to.
Even though, under President Obama, that Dodd Frank act was passed to tighten/ regulate the process, in my humble opinion, a lending company that services their own loans is a better bet than those that sale the mortgage note.
Wikipedia: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodd%E2%80%93Frank_Wall_Street_Reform_and_Consumer_Protection_Act
Either way, it's something to consider. Some may care and some may not. You now which camp I'm in on the matter.

The last 1 was the biggest im thinking unless im mistaken. If my mortgage is sold or traded while im paying off my home, id imagine the new lenders would increase the interest rate🤔? Very sneaky business😞
Thank you. I learned alot as i am getting started in thinking about getting a new house and selling the currant one. lot to navigate.

Amazing video!!! really and truly insightful.
I really learned a lot, thank you.
With mortgage lenders as with real estate agents, I think experience is everything. I can't fathom why anyone would go to a boutique mortgage lender when the source of money is ultimately the bank, which has in house underwriters right there!! Better than going to a flashy brokerage house with lots of brokers who want a cut of your $$$. I went straight to a few banks. Legit service cutting out all the middle men who want a handout.
Thank you sooo much for this video, it's truly appreciated! Very well explained!

Video idea. Pros and cons of using the builders preferred lender. If you haven't already did it.
This is great info. I am assisting my brother with purchasing his home and I will forward this video to him.
Awesome shan4short! 🔥
Btw... You might want to let him know I'm going live 3x per week at 9am PST on M, W, F. On M, W I have a loan officer on with me. We're talking about the hot topics in everyone's mind. 🤔
Thanks again for watching this video and for sharing too.
You're the best! 🤩
Awesome video and how generous of you to offer to answer questions. The knowledge and list of questions lets me know I have a lot to learn in a few short months. Thanks for the red alert.
Thank you for this. We have been facilitating reverse mortgages for over 10 years and are adding forward options to what we do and I found this helpful as I sort out how to approach the new loan products.
Everything was Very Knowledgeable 😊 thanks
Yay! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Sending you positive vibes everything is going your way!
This was very enlightening. I'm not a new home buyer, I've purchased a home and refinanced it previously... and you cleared up some things for me that other people never did. I know the right questions to ask now. The last go-around I chose my bank because I knew they weren't going to sell my mortgage. They had already told me that.. but I didn't know I could ask and get the truth. Thank you!
EVERYTHING in this video was SO VALUABLE!!!
Hey Eboni! Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad you took so much value from this video. Just out of curiosity what would you like to watch next? Sending you positive vibes everything goes your way!

As the loanee, what do I gain from confirming my home loan is not sold to another brokerage? You said that the selling process is what lead to the 08 financial collapse but as a single home buyer, are there financial benefits or disadvantages to a broker keeping or selling my loan?
I took away that local lender may be better. I always assumed that a big lender would be best in terms of resources and rates. I liked the explanation of points, never understood the lingo but heard it often. Thanks.
Such an important takeaway! Getting the best mortgage is more than just the best rates. The lowest rate could still cost you money in the long run if it is not the best product for you :)
Great Info I had no idea what to ask everything you said is helpful!!!!!!

I really appreciate this video, so many great points made. Thank you!
So very helpful thank you so much
I have had several home loans over my life and they all have been sold to another company. Many of them before I even make the first payment. Never had a problem with them selling my loans.
Great video. I'm dealing with a pretty good lender but their communication skills are a bit lacking, at least the LO i'm dealing with seems to be lacking. I always get the sense that she's really busy, which is understandable, but I feel a bit neglected because of it. I can usually prod the info out of them with an email or phone call, but I really wish they'd call me or email me as soon as they get an update on something, even if it's not a major event.
They've been great with asking for whatever they need for underwriting, signing papers etc, but like with right now we're waiting for the USDA RD approval and they haven't really said anything to me for a week. So I call them yesterday and they say 'oh yeah we called them this morning to see their turnaround time and they said they should have it done tomorrow". I wish they would've let me know that. Right now we're 2 days out of closing and still haven't gotten the USDA approval, so I'm slightly panicking and just trusting that the lender/usda/title company communication is wide open and coordinated behind the scenes.
I'm sure they got it all figured out, it's a very reputable company and in the top 5 of USDA approved lenders. I just wish they'd keep me more updated on what's going on.
Hi PeabodysParadise,

That makes a lot of sense. You've hit the nail on the head in so many ways with this comment. That's the reason why I'm in real estate, to provide exceptional service to folks with the largest investment many of us ever make, our home.
I've shared your comment with many people already about the importance of communication. Whether its bad news or good news, any news is better than no news!

Thank you for sharing these great tips Andrew! I just have one question, is there a way to verify their successful closing rate? They could just give me a high number and I wouldn’t know if it’s true or not
great video! .. i have a question on an experience i had..I got a CTC on a loan while insurance was re-rating , 2 months later insurance comes back and states insurance is $500 a month ?!? when the borrower closed with $35/month.. is this legal even though they closed their contract with a much lower rate ? lender does not want to assume responsibility??
Is it a good idea to visit a handful of loan officers before deciding on who we’re going to ultimately choose ? ? ?
Extremely helpful !
Thank you for this very informative video. This is a great help to me.
Bestest video ever!!!!!!! I am armed with informational
Thank you!! Wonderful content!

Andrew I have a question in your experience would you happen to know 2 questions? 1st who is the best and honest lender in Jefferson county Missouri. And 2nd who is the best honest reality in Jefferson county Missouri. Only reason I ask is you really can't trust the internet anymore with the internet neutrality with Agencies basically making their customers write a good review and the same with loan agents. It's hard today with all the False information out there. I'm looking to buy a house but with the market being crazy pricing houses that I know are valued at 140,000 being priced at 220,000 you just don't want to buy. It's extremely easy to find the value of a home but extremely hard to find an honest loan company or real estate agent or company to give a honest price or rate they end up making the purchase to where you end up paying every person involved in the transaction basically paying all their mortgages it's getting out of hand.
When I talk to an lender they give me a quote with the estimated monthly mortage payment ( including pmi,insurance , etc)
And the hazard insurance is a different price at ever lender I’ve been to & I’ve seen that it really affects the total mortage payment. My question is do you pick your home insurance or does your lender ?
( I live in Florida )

Can you do a video about questions to ask for refi a home?
#5!!! I want to know every cost pertaining to the closing of the home. I have heard of buyers not being an,e to close due to “pop-up” costs. You’d think 🤔 the damn Realtor or loan officer would advise beforehand. I don’t buy houses every day and I wouldn’t expect someone like me to know everything needed to complete a business transaction such as this!
That in and of itself would be enough for me to just get up and walk the hell out.
Hi Harry!
You're so right and I couldn't agree with you more! Transparency is the key (at least imho) as is open, honest, conversations.
Here's one of a few videos I created a while back about buyer closing costs: th-cam.com/video/viofaNXQFiw/w-d-xo.html

From this video, i took out everything❤
So Its not a good idea to go with the bigger company like Veterans United vs. just a local lender?
Hi Preston!
Thank you for watching!
What's most important in choosing a lender is your comfort level with the loan officer, their communication abilities, and their closing rate.
Whenever possible, as a professional, I prefer working with a solid local loan officer for due to great response and ease of reaching them. Having worked with clients selecting a larger financial institution I've found it is generally much difficult to reach them and that they don't seem to care much about any one buyer since they are often tasked with working multiple files. When they aren't in the same time zone it adds another layer so needless difficulty on getting things done.
These are just my observations from my own experiences helping 170 families buy/ sell their homes.
That said I'm sure, like any profession, that there are some great loan officers in that and other organizations.
Hopefully this helps you?
I like your face when you talk about the ups and downs

My grandmother passed away in October her house has had a loan took out on it.how many payments can u miss before the bank takes the house and. How do I take over the payments
Hi Christopher Bailey,
I'm very sorry to hear about your Grandmother's passing. I'm sending you and your family positive mojo and healing vibes as you remember the wonderful times and rejoice in celebrating her life, just as she probably would want ya'll to do.
That said, one can only miss 3 mortgage payments before a notice of default is filed against the property. That's the beginning of the foreclosure process.
Call the bank to see how you can assume the mortgage payments, it may require you to take out a loan in your name. If you're not getting anywhere with them, it may be wise to contact a real estate attorney in your area to help you.
Wishing ya'll all the best for a favorable outcome moving forward! =)
