It's important to be well-informed about the financing processes before starting the procedures to buy a house, to avoid potential scams. Here are some recommendations:
Research the background of the real estate agent to see if anyone has filed any complaints.
Check the current interest rates.
Verify the rates for mortgages with 30, 20, and 15-year terms.
Find out if the rate is fixed or adjustable.
Request information about terms and types of loans from various credit institutions to compare. Also, ask about all additional charges upfront, as nothing should be added last minute. Lastly, avoid signing incomplete documents.
Avoid sales tactics pressuring you. For example: if you're told they're the only ones who can offer you a certain interest rate, to act quickly, or that it's the last offer on the market... pay attention.
