Once you decide to purchase a home, one of the first things you should do is determine which lender you’re going to work with. Then, after you’ve made this choice, you will need to sort out what kind of financing will work best for your needs.
When considering various loans, there are a few important questions you and your lender should discuss:
1. How much can you borrow?
2. What will your monthly payment be?
3. What interest rate will you get?
4. What type of loan do you qualify for?
5. What other fees are associated with securing a loan?
Lenders will often give you a few different choices after you go over these questions. So, as you examine your various options, make sure you’re comparing apples to apples. Comparing loans based on how their comparable aspects stack up to each other will help you to make the best choice.

Another important thing to keep in mind when choosing a loan is that you will often be able to afford more than you should actually agree to for a monthly payment. Just because you technically have the funds for a given rate, that doesn’t mean you should overextend your budget.
