What is an independent mortgage broker?

An independent mortgage broker is a licensed professional who acts as an intermediary between borrowers and mortgage lenders. They work independently, meaning they’re not tied to any particular lender, and their main goal is to find the best mortgage terms that fit their client’s needs and financial situation.

Yes, all independent mortgage brokers are regulated. I am licensed by the National Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) and must comply with federal and Colorado laws related to mortgages and related services. Mortgage loan originators are also overseen by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

What’s the benefit of working with a mortgage broker?

A mortgage broker can simplify the process and find better terms with lower rates and fees due to their broad network and industry knowledge.

How do I qualify for a mortgage?

Mortgage lenders look at several factors when determining your eligibility for a loan. These include your credit score, income and employment stability, debt-to-income ratio (the percentage of your monthly income that goes toward debt payments), and the amount of down payment you have available.

What credit score is needed to buy a house?

A strong credit score will help you get a better home loan rate. However, we can qualify people with a wide range of scores. Don’t let a lower credit score stop you from contacting me! Things like the cost of the home, the amount of your downpayment, and the type of loan we put you into may allow you to purchase a home. In some cases, there are opportunities for you to increase your credit score.

What is a mortgage pre-approval?

A mortgage pre-approval is a statement from a lender saying that you qualify for a certain loan amount based on your income and credit history. Getting pre-approved can make you a more competitive buyer, showing sellers that you’re financially ready to buy a home. Pre-approval is the next step after pre-qualification. A true pre-approval means that your file has gone to the decision maker (a human being underwriter), who has reviewed and approved your financial credit package. A pre-qualification is typically just a computer system approving the information you have input without confirming the accuracy of said input.

How long will it take to get funding for my Colorado home loan?

Typically, on a home loan without complications, we can fund your loan within 15 business days from completing a loan application. The sooner you can get started on the process, the better!

Can you work with bad credit?

Yes, I have experience in working with clients who have less-than-perfect credit. I help you understand your options and find wholesale lenders willing to work with you. However, remember that bad credit often means higher interest rates and stricter loan terms.

Can using a mortgage broker like Rob’s Mortgage Loans increase my chances of loan approval?

In many cases, yes. I package your loan application to highlight your borrower strengths and address potential concerns. Thanks to my years of experience, I also understand different lenders’ criteria and can match you with a lender more likely to approve your application.

What is the difference between fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages?

A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that stays the same for the life of the loan, which means your monthly payment remains consistent. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that can change over time, typically after an initial fixed period. This means your monthly payment could go up or down.

Can a mortgage broker guarantee the lowest interest rate?

No mortgage broker can guarantee the lowest interest rate. However, because I work with various lenders, I often find very competitive rates. The actual rate you receive will depend on multiple factors, including your credit score, income, down payment, and current market conditions. Having a choice of many wholesale lenders increases the competition. The wholesale lenders want to do loans and want to earn your business.

Remodeling Loans

Welcome to Rob’s Mortgage Loans, where we specialize in providing tailored financing solutions to help you achieve your home renovation dreams. Whether you’re looking to update your kitchen, add a new bathroom, or renovate your entire home, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

At Rob’s Mortgage Loans, we understand that embarking on a home improvement project can be both exciting and daunting. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of loan options designed to suit your specific needs and budget. From personal loans to home equity lines of credit (HELOC) and government-backed programs, we’ll work closely with you to find the perfect financing solution for your project.

What are Home Improvement Loans?

Home improvement loans are financial products designed to help homeowners fund renovation, remodeling, or repair projects for their homes. These loans provide access to the funds needed to cover the costs of materials, labor, and other expenses associated with improving your property.

Home improvement loans typically work by providing borrowers with a lump sum of money or a line of credit that can be used to finance their renovation projects. Depending on the type of loan, funds may be disbursed upfront or drawn upon as needed throughout the project. Borrowers then repay the loan over time, usually with fixed monthly payments and interest rates determined by factors such as creditworthiness and the loan terms.

Benefits of Home Improvement Loans for Homeowners

Home improvement loans offer several benefits for homeowners, including:

Flexibility: Home improvement loans provide flexible financing options, allowing you to tackle projects of any size and scope.
Increased Property Value: Renovating your home can increase its value, making it a worthwhile investment for the future.
Enhanced Comfort and Livability: Home improvements can enhance the comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of your living space, creating a more enjoyable environment for you and your family.
Tax Deductibility: In some cases, the interest paid on home improvement loans may be tax-deductible, providing potential tax benefits for homeowners.
Competitive Rates: With Rob’s Mortgage Loans, you’ll have access to competitive interest rates and favorable loan terms, helping you save money over the life of your loan.

Home Improvement Loan Options in Colorado

Personal Loans for Home Improvement:
Personal loans are unsecured loans that can be used for various purposes, including home improvement projects. With a personal loan, you can borrow a fixed amount of money with a fixed interest rate and repayment term. These loans are typically based on your creditworthiness and income, and they do not require collateral.

Home Equity Loans:
Home equity loans allow homeowners to borrow against the equity they’ve built up in their homes. With a home equity loan, you can receive a lump sum of money based on the value of your home minus any outstanding mortgage balance. These loans typically have fixed interest rates and repayment terms, making them a predictable financing option for home improvements.

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC):
A HELOC is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their homes as needed. Similar to a credit card, you can borrow up to a certain limit and only pay interest on the amount you use. HELOCs typically have variable interest rates and can be a flexible financing option for ongoing or unpredictable home improvement expenses.

Government Programs for Home Improvement Financing:
Various government programs and initiatives may offer assistance or financing options for home improvement projects. These programs can include grants, low-interest loans, or other forms of financial assistance aimed at helping homeowners make necessary repairs or upgrades to their properties. Eligibility for government programs may vary based on factors such as income, location, and the nature of the improvements needed.

Eligibility Criteria for Home Improvement Loans:

The eligibility criteria for home improvement loans may vary depending on the type of loan and the lender’s requirements. However, common eligibility factors may include:

Credit score: Lenders typically require a minimum credit score to qualify for a home improvement loan, with higher scores often resulting in better loan terms.
Income: Lenders may assess your income and debt-to-income ratio to determine your ability to repay the loan.
Equity: For home equity loans and HELOCs, lenders will consider the amount of equity you have in your home.
Employment history: Lenders may require proof of stable employment and income to qualify for a loan.
Property value: The value of your home may impact the amount you can borrow and the terms of the loan.

Why Choose An Independent Mortgage Broker?



Price

Banks and mortgage corporations often have higher rates and fees than independent mortgage brokers because they have to pay executive salaries, choose to pay higher marketing costs, and have higher overheads. As an independent mortgage broker, I strategically set my commission lower. With lower overhead and a choice of wholesale lenders, the savings are passed on to the consumer.



Product

Independent brokers aren’t tied to a single bank or lender. This means they can access more products through a choice of lenders. I also have the ability to select wholesale lenders that want to earn your business with lower rates and lower fees. As an independent broker, I can think outside the box and find unique loan offerings that specifically match each homeowner’s situation.



Process

When you work with an independent mortgage broker, you simplify the borrowing process. Along with impeccable customer service, our loan originator will be free of bank and corporate bureaucracy, meaning they can focus on your loan and wrap things up faster. Everything goes straight to the decision-maker, and you have individualized support every step of the way. This also means I can get you into a home sooner.


