Risky Mortgage Seminar



 

DO YOU HAVE A RISKY MORTGAGE?
Come to our FREE two-hour seminar to explore the risks of certain mortgage products with features such as adjustable rates, prepayment penalties and high interest. The more you know about home financing, the less likely you will be taken advantage of. If a deal to buy, repair or refinance a house sounds too good to be true, it usually is!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
  • If you are a good candidate for refinancing your home mortgage.
  • If your loan is putting your home at risk of foreclosure.
  • The pros and cons of fixed rate versus adjustable rate loans.
  • When it is a good idea to refinance.
  • The right questions to ask a mortgage broker or loan officer.
  • Tips for making the refinancing process go as smoothly as possible.
  • Tips to help you avoid scams and fraud
TIPS TO HELP YOU AVOID SCAMS:
  • Talk to someone you trust who isn?t going to make any money from the deal.
  • Never sign blank documents. Read everything clearly.
  • Never sign anything that you do not understand or feel pressured to sign.
  • Shop around. Compare interest rates, loan terms, and loan charges.
  • Get references and check them out.
