Understanding the Lingo of Loans

10 year, 15 year, 30 year fixed mortgages. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS). Balloon Mortgages. Principal. Interest. Amortization. Closing Costs. The mortgage process is filled with language and terminology you will need to navigate. Our lending specialists help you understand each loan option, and every word within the fine print.
We make sure that you fully understand your loan options, the repayment terms, and your obligations for the duration of the mortgage. We will go over these with you as often as it takes so that you are fully educated and prepared when the time comes to sign on the dotted line.

Do you have questions about loan terms and options? Contact Cambridge Mortgage, Inc. at (615) 230-1998. We will answer your questions and help you understand the loan options that are ideally suited for your budget an long-term financial goals.

Preparing for the Loan Process

Every loan is as different as the clients who apply for them. However, the basics of qualifying for the loan are about the same. This is where our lending specialists start when you come to our team seeking a loan. We help make sure that your documentation is squared away before the mortgage application is submitted.
Our team reviews the following to help you secure the right loan for your needs:

Credit Scores

Credit scores are a major factor in any loan approval. It is possible to secure a loan with a score as low as 580. However, it is best to have a credit score in the 700’s or higher to secure the best interest rates. Improving a credit score takes time and patience. You should start this process long before you seek a mortgage by checking your scores and removing errors and paying down your debts. Further, if you have bankruptcies, delinquencies, defaults, and other negative information on your report, you should speak with your lender to determine the best ways to address these during the application process.

Employment/Income Verification

Lenders require pay stubs, tax returns, and W2’s that show you have the ability to repay the loan. You will need to establish that you have a steady and stable employment history with a corresponding stream of income to establish this. If you are self-employed, our team can help you prepare the documentation and navigate the process so that your decision to hang your own shingle above the door doesn’t interfere with your ability to pursue your home ownership goals.

Down Payments

Most loans require you to put forth a down payment of between 3-20% to secure the loan. However, some loans such as USDA or VA loans do not have this requirement. Our team can help you calculate how much you should put down for the loan you desire and whether you qualify for specialized loan programs that don’t require a hefty down payment.

Do you have questions about what it takes to secure a mortgage at the best interest rate?
Contact Cambridge Mortgage, Inc. at (615) 230-1998 to speak with our team about credit, income, and other requirements.

Getting Pre-Approved

Pre-approval for a mortgage gives you significant leverage when you start looking at real estate. It is something you should secure before you and your real estate agent start looking at property. Pre-approval helps you narrow your search to properties that fit within your budget. More importantly, it shows sellers that you have the ability to seal the deal when you make an offer. The process can take anywhere between 1-3 days to complete, and it is well worth the short amount of time it takes to go through it. Once pre-approved, you will have between 60-90 days to purchase a home which is more than sufficient time for you to find the perfect property for you and your family.

For fastest service, you will need to have the following documentation ready to go when you submit your application:

  • W2’s for the past two years. If you are self-employed, you will need 2 years of tax returns as well as a year to date profit & loss statement.
  • Pay stubs for the past 30 days.
  • Two months of bank statements for each open account you maintain.
  • Divorce decree (if applicable)
  • Bankruptcy discharge papers (if applicable)
  • Written explanation of past delinquencies, accounts in collections, judgments, or other negative information on your credit report
Our lending team is ready to take your application over the phone. When you are ready to apply, contact Cambridge Mortgage, Inc. at (615) 230-1998. We will go over your documents and complete the process as quickly as possible.

Amazing Lender!
Mandy Goenner
Lynn Kostadine was an amazing lender! She was referred to us from a family member after running into a few lenders who we felt weren't being honest. From the moment we started working with Lynn, she was quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had no matter the day or time. She helped us secure our forever home during a terrible economy and inconsistent real estate market and we will forever be grateful!

Stress Free Home Loan Process
Joyce Hibma
This was my 6th Home Loan in my lifetime. I can honestly say that working with Lynn Kostadine has been by far the most efficient, stress free loan I have ever received. Lynn's communication style is so refreshing. The loan process, expectations of us and loan options were explained in detail making it easy for us to make clear educated decisions that fit our needs. I highly recommend Lynn whether you are in State or out of State, which we were. This was truly a loan process that was enjoyable!

  • Lynn was a joy to work with from the beginning -- we were referred to her by our realtor and she was absolutely essential to my wife and I being able to get into the home we wanted! We closed two days ago as of my writing this and we move in two days from today, so excited! I honestly don't know what we would've done without Lynn's help and guidance throughout this entire process of buying our home. She works wonderful magic when it comes to helping to make your dreams of buying a home a reality!!! There's nobody I would ever recommend more than Cambridge Mortgage! THANK YOU LYNN!

  • positive review  My husband and I are both freelance/self-employed . . . and I can't tell you how much banks don't like us right now. But we closed our re-fi last week thanks to Lynn and all her hard work! She got us a great rate and our final payment was lower than our initial quote, too. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Just call her. 🙂
