Good for you. When my wife and I got married (2010), I told her that we needed to buy a house before either of us turned 30. We did, in 2012. The way I see it, following a 30 year amortization schedule (even if we move), we'll have a house paid off by the time we're 60. No mortgage payment or rent payment. That's our best shot at a good retirement. You'll be in an even better position.

Mortgage broker will likely get you the best deal, and is the way to go. Just today, we closed on our next property, and we're very happy with a fixed 3.45% apr. Our rental has only a small amount left on its mortgage, and then that cash flow goes entirely to our current mortgage. People, please pay off your debts ASAP and allow all your hard work to invest in yourselves. Find fulfillment in things not requiring excess consumption. Our one "vice" is international travel, but even that is largely paid by credit card travel miles. Our CCs are essentially conduits for racking up points, and paid off every month. Anyway, life gets so much better once financial stressors are out of the picture. Good luck!!!

[@ModMINI]

Good answer. If you don't go through a broker, you have to do the shopping around for the best rate. A broker will charge for their service, I think about 1% of value of loan, which can be worth it to find the best rate and the best combination of loan features and reputation of the lending agency (i.e., you can often get a good rate through an online lender but they are slower to close. A mortgage broker can help inform your decision on which to prioritize)

For all the folks shopping for a mortgage, Dave was using some heavy jargon. Bottom line: you should look for a broker that can shop the loan for you and has very minimal closing costs. It’s inconvenient to work with a bank or broker that skyrockets closing costs. Overhead fees are something to be aware of. Wholesale mortgage brokers have the best rates and closing costs around, While correspondents and retailers have higher closing costs, along with mediocre rates.

If you can't put 20% down on a mortgage, don't do it - default insurance will go hand and hand with the loan for the life, unless you refi and pay loan ordination fees again. You'll burn a couple years of time and money in these fees.... The thing with default insurance is if you don't pay the lender gets paid, the place is sold to someone else that will make payments and pay interest, and you're still on the hook for the balance of a property that has been sold again and interest paid. The bank actually wants to foreclosure to happen, so they get paid many times over.... Real estate is freedom, but you have to not get hit coming ashore on the beach, because they are there, loaded, and ready for you from the high ground.

[@---cr8nw]

I disagree. The amount of money you can put down has very little to do with the amount you can pay every month. You need to figure out how long it would take you to SAVE up to that 20% mark while paying rent somewhere else. If the mortgage payment is lower than the rent, it doesn't make sense to live in a rental property and gain no equity. For example, if you're looking at a 100k house and you can put 10k down, talk to a lender and find out how much your monthly payment would be. Then shop for rental properties. The mortgage payment might be $700 per month. The rental property might be $900 per month. To save up another 10k, you would have to rent for 5 years at $900 per month while ALSO banking another $170 every month to save up another $10k AND you'll be 5 years behind on building equity in a house. Instead, you could 5 years into your home loan, paying $700 a month in mortgage and banking $370 every month. If the monthly mortgage payment is less than the cost of renting an apartment or small house, default insurance doesn't matter.

[@stevee8318]

I generally agree with this. Mortgage insurance has not benefit to the borrower and can be up to 1% of the loan value per year. If you have a $300k mortgage, it's like flushing $1.5-3k down the toilet every year for 30 years.

[@---cr8nw]

@@stevee8318, you can drop the PMI as soon as you hit 20% equity. You should definitely not pay it for 30 years. I was given the option to pay a single premium PMI. the house I bought was 122,500. I put 12,500 down. The PMI was 2,600. I paid it and never dealt with it again.

Brokers are better. Way lower rates. Way lower costs. Way more regulated and ethical. Unable to profit additional Yield spread. A broker has no reason to up sell you on the interest rate, because their commissions are capped. Banks can make a lot more profit from up selling interest rates. Brokers are solely focused on mortgages and they are pros at it. They don’t have to worry about checking, savings, auto loans. It’s simple would you prefer wholesale or retail. Get the rate wholesale before it’s marked up for retail selling.

[@chrisginoc]

Been a loan officer in busy southern california since 2006. Here's the inside truth: Bank: Lower rates, but sometimes stricter requirements/guidelones such income and credit scores. Broker: Higher rates, but are like a swiss army knife and typically their underwriters are more forgiving. Brokers also offer bank statement mortgages for those that business owners or self employed.

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

It's not only about a lower rate. One bank had $6,000 in closing costs and another only charged like $3,000.

[@chrisginoc]

@@MichaelP-ke1tm Here in California, closing costs are very similar across the board. If it was the same product, it should have been the same unless the loan officer quoted you a buydown which inflated the costs. There are exceptions at banks sometimes where if you bring over $50k+ for example they give you lender credits and discounts which makes a HUGE difference. You are right though. Closing costs are also a part of it. If you're talking about a broker though, forget about having the best of both worlds meaning a great rate AND low closing cost fees. Not gonna happen because, but brokers can get tricky qualification deals funded. I'll give them that.

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

@@chrisginoc Yes, we bought discount points to refinance to 3.5% and the closing costs for one company were a lot cheaper than another and they had lower rates too but they took 80 days to close. Also, apparently the company we chose doesn't provide loan officers with a commission which made the closing costs cheaper.

[@chrisginoc]

@@MichaelP-ke1tm Think of Closing costs from an operational stand point running a mortgage business as an Underwriter and Processor fee. For example: $1,150 company flat fee and then third party fees (mandatory in California) such as title, escrow, notary, etc is what makes up total closing costs. Not related directly to loan officer commission. Could they essentially be passing on the savings to you by not paying their loan officers well in the end? Perhaps. Is it more likely that they pay everyone peanuts from Underwriters, Processors, Funders, Managers, etc? Yes. Companies that don't pay loan officers or call centers comissions are usually doing very cookie cutter deals W2 easy stuff as opossed to the stuff we get paid to do such as borrower has 3 businesses, owns 5 rental properties, wants an interest only mortgage, needs $250k in reserves to qualify, writes off $150k+ in taxes to avoid paying uncle sam which then makes it harder, etc. Most loan officers I know that are in their early 50s and have been doing this for a long time earning top money have had stress related strokes for a reason. Silent killer. And the fact that companies want to under cut each other and not pay a commission? Insane for this amount of stress... Maybe that's just the future.

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

@@chrisginoc How much in write offs for a self employed person do you think is just enough to qualify for a mortgage of around $200,000?? Lets say a self employed person makes 60k/year but they write off 30k in expenses on their taxes, do you think they would be able to qualify for a 200k loan??

Depends if mortgages in your custody limited range are cheaper or on par.

If you want to move instead of settle due to current custody restrictions then it might be better for your mental health to hold out and continue saving, such as pay off car debt or anything big in meantime to mitigate monthly liabilities.

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

@@AnnyBAdventures Make an excel budget sheet calculating your income and expenses. The expense will include the future mortgage payment and then you will get a better picture on what you can afford so you don't end up foreclosing. I always make a budget sheet for my real estate clients so they don't do something stupid and over spend. Banks also do something similar to see what you can afford but you can never trust a bank. They handed out loans like candy in 2004-2008 and everyone ended up foreclosing.

Why doesn’t he answer the question from a consumer perspective? The securitization of these loans is interesting but doesn’t matter to me. What’s the difference between me going with a bank vs a mortgage broker? This answer feels very “safe” and not really helpful in deciding which to go with.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Mortgage broker operates off commission so they will be quick, responsive, and go out of their way during the pre-sale period, including answering and making changes during non-daytime and weekends. They usually give you their direct cell number that they have tethered to them to test it out. This is extremely important in the heated battles of real estate today where closing dates will be enforced. Traditional bank loan officers typically are much harder to interact with since they only operate during business hours, within times of their choosing. Not at all unheard of for a bank loan officer to lapse on actions for a week or more just because they didn't feel like it. They won't care about negative comments either.

[@yichispiritual]

For everyday people, I d say go for both, negotiate and see who gives you the best. It is more about talking to the right person rather than whether it is a bank or broker. Broker say they help you shop around but how do you know they gave you the best? Shop yourself! Bank you have an overall relationship with and you may be benefited from holistic perspective. For everyday people who cares about how the loan is managed at the back ?!

[@jumpingjake123]

Wow! I'm so happy Dave put out this information. Very helpful for my situation.

[@dgriffinctc3834]

Dave is incorrect about why the smaller loans don't work. You can get an appraisal waiver on a comforting conventional mortgage when there is substantial equity. The reason you take small loans to a credit union is that it is almost impossible to write a conforming loan under 40kish. Guidelines are written on percentages, for example fees deemed APR items can't exceed 3% of the loan. Not all fees are percentages though. The closer may charge a flat $1,000 as a closing fee. That's no big deal on 200k, but on 50k it's 2/3 of the fees allowed by guidelines, leaving the lender to cover all their employees and expenses plus profit in $500.

[@MiAuthority]

You know Dave, sometimes a lesson like this is spot on. Not so much a guidance video, but an informative dive into a specific topic of interest. Some points of curiosity from myself and im sure many others What should someone with 3 years of debt free investing exerience be looking for to make informed decisions regarding index funds, Individual stocks, mutual funds? Anything you feel we should know about anything? Anything youd like to tell us about determining which type of investing is best for people who are fairly mobile? A move can be expected every 4-6 years? Maybe for people whos goals arent to own a house?

[@brianbudd6101]

I've worked for a decade for both a big bank and a mortgage company over the years. A mortgage company or broker is a better bet- just like Dave advocates for Zander vs. State Farm because they can shop around to get you the best deal, a mortgage company can do the same rather than just taking whatever pricing Chase etc is offering that day. And especially if you're self-employed or have a more complex income or asset situation, it's going to be much more difficult to work with a bank.
