But everyone in the financial world knows this, and the wolves are always the first to strike. You can never trust the company or person behind your California home loan - they stand to profit huge of your specific home loan, and these guys do whatever it takes to get you to borrow from them. Tactics held by California home loan providers People applying for a California home loan should expect the worst from their lenders and brokers. Aggressive negotiations, exorbitant costs, even outright lying are all common practice. When a single California home loan on an average California home stands to bring in about $600,000 in interest on an average 30 year mortgage, there's gonna be competition. They will lie, they will tell you exactly what you want to hear even if it has no actual bearing on the California home loan you are looking for. If your lender stands to make more money by guiding you toward a loan that won't necessarily work for you, they'll do it. Protecting yourself from the fangs These guys play hard - but when you are smart and know your stuff you will succeed with California home loans without a hitch. You have your own weapons to rely on: You can take out multiple quotes from multiple lenders to get a general feel for what your California home loan should look like. You can always negotiate - or find a broker you can trust to negotiate your interest on your behalf. When you sign the papers and everything is settled, you still have three days to decide if that specific California home loan is right for you! Take your proposed California home loan to a mortgage lawyer and make sure everything is kosher - have them read over your loan contract and be sure you know exactly what's being asked of you. If anything looks out of line or aside from what the lender promised, walk away - the great thing about wolves is that there will always be others to eat up the scraps. Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT
