Whether it’s for personal or business needs, it’s likely you’ve either taken out a loan or have considered it in the past. When it comes to making large purchases, such as starting and running a business or owning your own home, securing a loan is a crucial part of the process. But, that’s not the only piece of the pie; finding a lender you trust, one that is willing to work with you throughout the life of the loan is equally as important.

Not all business owners or homeowners are alike and neither are their loan needs. When it’s time for you to find a lender for your large purchases, consider using a local lending expert. By using a local lender you ensure that your loan will be processed quickly, efficiently and with the quality and attention that you deserve.

Q: What is Mortgage Insurance (MI) and why is it required?
A: This insurance is typically required for borrowers that are unable to provide a 20% down payment on a home purchase. As a result, MI can help a family purchase a home with a minimal amount of cash out-of-pocket, allowing the dream of becoming a homeowner to become a reality.

Q: What is the secondary mortgage market?
A: Think of mortgage lenders as retail stores where a borrower goes to obtain a mortgage loan. The secondary market is the supplier of money to the lender. Most single-family mortgages originated today are sold on the secondary market. Mortgages that are sold to the secondary market can retain servicing (mortgage activity that takes place after the purchase has closed escrow – monthly loan payments, property tax disbursements, etc.) by the original lender. Many home buyers who prefer doing business locally select a lender, such as Yolo FCU, who retains the servicing throughout the life of the loan.
