Home Financing Center was the company of choice when we decided to go for our home loan here in Coral Gables. Not only are they a proud partner of FIU athletics, where I work, but the opportunity to provide business back to a loyal sponsor was a win-win. More.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services.

What is the difference between a fixed-rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage?

A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that remains the same throughout the life of the loan. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that can change over time, usually in response to interest rate fluctuations in the market.

 

The interest rate on a home mortgage is determined by several factors, including the loan-to-value ratio, the borrower’s credit score, the loan term, and the type of loan.

 

The amount of money you need for a down payment depends on the type of loan you are getting and the lender’s requirements. Generally, you should expect to put down at least 3–5% of the purchase price of the home.

 

Closing costs are fees associated with the purchase of a home that are paid at closing. These fees can include loan origination fees, appraisal fees, title fees, and more.

 

When applying for a home mortgage, you will typically need to provide the lender with your financial information and documents, such as pay stubs, bank statements, and tax returns. You may also need to provide proof of employment and proof of assets.
