Use Loan Estimates for comparable loan amounts and structures. Review the monthly payment, mortgage insurance, upfront charges and lender credits. Ask why tax or insurance estimates differ; a lower estimate is not necessarily a saving.
Discuss program eligibility and the documents needed for review. Ask your mortgage professional to explain the alternatives and the reasons for any recommendation. A program description or initial estimate does not establish approval for a particular borrower or property.
