Sunday, January 24th, 2010 at 7:37pm. 221 Views, 0 Comments.

To understand the effects of mortgage rates, we have to first understand how they work.  Mortgage rates are based off of Mortgage Backed Securities. 

Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) are basically investments in mortgage loans.  MBS’s represent mortgage bonds and are made up of pools of mortgages.  MBS’s are traded just like stocks and their value fluctuates on a daily basis.  Rates are constantly changing just like stocks.  Throughout a trading day, rates are changing up and down.

In January of 2009 The Federal Reserve announced that they would buy up $500 billion dollars in Mortgage Backed Securities. 

This would drive mortgages rates down, which it did.  Then in March of 2009 The Fed realized that they will need to keep rates low, much longer, so…

Get preapproved for a loan in GA! Why should you get pre-approved for a mortgage?

Monday, November 30th, 2009 at 1:44pm. 274 Views, 1 Comments.

Why should you get pre-approved for a mortgage? 

Get preapproved for a loan in GAGetting a pre-approval letter gives you substantial leverage. 

Sellers immediately see you as a serious buyer.  Not only will you know the exact price range you can afford, you'll be able to negotiate a better deal and move faster when you see a house you like.   You'll need to supply information to verify your income, credit history, debts and assets.
