Top 5 Home Loan Myths in 2019:

0:46 1. You must have a 20% downpayment in order to buy a house. 20% down is not typical and most buyers who purchase homes with a mortgage put down less than 20%. There are programs out there where you are able to put down 15%, 10%, 3.5% and even 0%.

2:39. 2. Credit pulls. Purchasers are worried about multiple dings on their credit if they shop for a mortgage. The CFPB encourages buyers to shop multiple lenders. If you shop for a mortgage, there will only be one inquiry that *could potentially* affect your credit score. Your credit is pulled when you get pre-approved and about a week before settlement.

5:58. 3. The 30-year fixed mortgage is the best program on the marketplace. There is some truth to this but depending on your situation, how soon you're looking to stay in the residence and future relocation plans, an ARM could be a viable option with a lower interest rate.

7:53 4. An online lender always has the lowest interest rate. It comes down to your goals in the process. A lower rate may come with dealing with a call service, 800 numbers, weak communication, a longer closing period and a weaker offer in a competitive offer situation (compared with someone using a local lender).

10:50. 5. Making an extra payment on your mortgage is a great way to pay your mortgage quicker. Making an extra payment will save you a significant amount of interest in the long-run. However, if you're not planning to stay in the property for 20+ years, could your money be spent better elsewhere with a higher return? If instead of making the extra payment, you invest in the stock market, other investments or put into a rental property (for example) your return could potentially be higher than the end result of a quicker loan term. It will depend on your financial situation and what you're looking to accomplish.
