| Your Down Payment, Closing Costs
availability, and Payment Preferences. There are
lots of plans that will get you a loan for x amount
of dollars down and for x dollars per month. My job
is to find the plan and option that will accomplish
this while furthering your best interests.
Your Income, Expense and Credit Qualifications.
Your credit history may make certain options available
and certain options unavailable. My job is to help you
close on the best loan you can qualify for.
Your Probable Term of Ownership. If you may
be a short term owner it may be best to take a higher
rate and a lower closing cost (no or limited cost loan).
If you are sure you will be a short term owner we can
compare balloons and arm to fixed rates and assess the
risks and rewards of taking a non fixed rate loan.

Your State and Federal Marginal Tax Rate. Your
tax status plays an often determining role in choosing
your most appropriate loan. People with low tax rates
and minimal tax write-offs typically get more relative
benefit out of paying extra costs to get lower rates
(but often they don't have the extra cash to do it).
People with high tax rates and high tax write-offs typically
get more relative benefit out of paying less in costs
by taking higher rates with higher tax deductible interest
- without analysis this probably will be counter intuitive
to you.

Your Alternative Investment Options and Goals.
If you are a lead pipe cinch to do well at investing
you may want to choose a longer term or larger loan
to free up more monthly money to invest. If you are
a horrible investor afraid of all markets, a shorter
term, smaller loan may be just the investment for you
- but we need to make sure that you will still have
the income to withstand emergencies and be able to come
up with cash for opportunities.
