How To Shop Around For The Cheapest Mortgage Rates And Deals Online. - part 1

by Bwalya Mwaba

Before you start shopping around for a mortgage, you need to establish exactly what you want so that you do not waste your time looking at deals that will not save you money. You should also learn how to compare mortgages or choose what features of the finance package are important to you.
The first step is to ask your friends or family for recommendations of potential mortgage lenders. Then contact several lenders and let them know that you're shopping around for the best rates. You may want to discuss your needs with banks, credit unions, mortgage companies and brokers. Comparing loan plans or packages will help you get a better deal.

Your next step is to read expert opinions in national newspapers and magazines. These publications usually publish editorials that rate mortgage and loan deals from various banks and lenders. This information will give you a better idea of what to expect.

1. Loan Comparison Websites: Some web sites offer services that allow you to compare thousands of mortgage loan deals from different lenders. All you have do to is, enter a few details about the kind of mortgage you're looking for and their software will produce a list of lenders based on your search criteria. You can then contact the lenders that you're interested in. This is one of the fastest and easiest ways to shop around for a mortgage online. The only disadvantage with this approach is that some of the web sites that offer this service only show results from mortgage lenders who have paid to be included or from whom they receive commissions.

Countrywide my current lender says I only qualify for a 8.75 rate because I had a bankraupcy in 1997 and I had two collections in 2003 due to my husbands illness and inability to work.
