The data is grouped into five categories as outlined below. There are three main credit reporting agencies so in most cases you will have three FICO Scores. Most lenders use the middle score as your FICO Score when applying for a mortgage. Your FICO Scores consider both positive and negative information on your credit report. Late payments will lower your FICO Scores, but establishing or re-establishing a good track record of making payments on time will raise your score. FICO Scores are determined by weighing the following categories based on what is most important when establishing your credit score: payment history 10% CREDIT GRADES Your FICO Score is a factor lenders use amount owed 10% to assess risk. In general, here is how 35% the score relates to your credit grade: FICO SCORE Length of credit history excellent 750 and up 15% BREAKDOWN above average 680-749 types of credit fair 620-680 New Credit 30% poor 619 and below payment history types of credit Late payments can lower your credit score a little, or a lot, Types of credit determines your mix of mortgages, installment depending on how recent or severe the late payments are and how loans and credit card accounts.

Checking your credit report will not adversely affect your your credit score. score. However, when you are shopping for credit – applying for a car loan or credit card, for example – these inquires remain on your credit report for two years. A large number of inquiries may length of credit history adversely affect your score. In general, a longer credit history will increase your FICO Scores, but it’s not a requirement.

  • Closing Costs and Other Fees
    CHAPTER 5 LOAN CLOSING AND INSURANCE 5-1 LOAN CLOSING. The conditions of the DE lender’s approval (FHA's commitment if applicable) should be discussed with the borrower and, if applicable, the seller or builder. A. Title Insurance. Title insurance is not required at closing. However, the lender is responsible for conveying good, marketable title to FHA when a claim is filed. The one exception to this involves property that previously had been sold by HUD (REO sale) and FHA has insured the mortgage financing the sale by HUD. If such a property had a title defect prior to the original conveyance to FHA, the lender will not be held responsible for any title defects arising prior to the sale by FHA. See 24 CFR 203.390 for additional information. B. Title Objections. Any additional exceptions discovered during the title search should be reported to the DE underwriter before the loan is closed, unless the exceptions are covered by the General Waiver. Lenders should ensure that any conditions of title to the property will be acceptable to FHA. FHA regulations at 24 CFR 203.389 state that FHA will not object to title because of common customary easements, restrictions, and encroachments and provides a general waiver for these title conditions. These include easements for public utilities, party walls, driveways, wooden or wire fences and for other similar purposes. Lenders should review 24 CFR 203.389 for a full description of the general waiver provisions. Other title matters not covered by this general waiver must be reviewed by the lender.

  • The Smart Way to Sell Your House
    The Smart Way to Sell Your House By Jeanne Lee, as posted on Bankrate.com, edited & updated for 2020 by John Adams ​ ​ Most home sellers dream of a stress-free sale where they simply list their house, quickly find a qualified buyer, collect the cash and hand over the keys. 1 The reality is that selling a home includes many moving parts — some which you can control and some that are out of your hands. For example, geography might influence how long your house lingers on the market and how much mark-up you can get away with. Where inventory is low, odds are you’ll sell faster and command a higher price. Conversely, in places where home ​ sales have cooled, homeowners will likely have to work harder to attract the right ​ buyer. Then there are the factors within your control that have a big impact on the bottom line. Things like hiring a really good real estate agent and maximizing your home’s online appeal can convert effort into dollars — and a more seamless closing. Here are 12 steps experts advise homeowners take to quickly sell their homes in the latter half of 2020 and headed into 2021: ​ 1. Hire an agent who knows the market. 2. Set a timeline for selling your home. 3. Get a pre-sale home inspection. 4. Don’t waste money on needless upgrades. 5. Get professional photos. 6. Put your house on the market. 7. Set a realistic price. 8. Review and negotiate offers. 9. Anticipate seller closing costs. 10. Weigh the tax implications.

  • Closing Costs
    ESTIMATED CLOSING COSTS Town & Country has compiled this guide to estimate closing costs for you, for informational purposes only. Both Buyer and Seller receive Estimated Closing Costs from their respective attorneys prior to closing. Purchasers using a lending institution receive a Truth in Lending Statement from the lender. These are itemized lists of expenses. Request them as early as possible so that you can best prepare for closing. One of the buyer’s greatest expenses is the Peconic Transfer Tax. In November of 1998 voters overwhelmingly approved the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund or CPF. Later, in 2012 East End residents voted in all 5 towns by 2:1 vote to extend the Fund for an additional 10 years, thus extending the expiration date to 2022. In 2012 Suffolk Country Clerks collected $66.8M which reflects a 13.6% increase from 2011, when $58.84M was collected, which was a 23% jump from 2010. The trend is clear with 2013 to be poised to be one of the best years for CPF receipts. 2011 2012 2011 2012 2011 2012 Southampton $38,880,000 $37,820,000 East Hampton $13,860,000 $21,860,000 Riverhead $1,930,000 $2,210,000 Southold $3,350,000 $3,650,000 Shelter Island $820,000 $1,300,000 Since its inception in 1999 the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund has generated nearly $800M. These funds have enabled the 5 East End Towns to preserve open space, farmland, beaches, pine barrens, water recharge areas, wetlands and even an Island. In fact, some 6,000 acres through more than 300 acquisitions in total.
