Purchase Loan: Your Path to a New Home
Buying a home in Maryland? Here’s how we guide you.
1. Your First Call with Us
Pick up the phone or visit MDMTG.com. Your loan officer starts by asking about your plans. First-time buyer in Rockville? Growing family in Frederick? We assess your budget, credit, and savings. No jargon—just clear questions. We’ll explain down payment options, like 3% for conventional loans or 0% for VA loans. Maryland’s MMP might cover closing costs with grants up to 4%. You’ll feel ready, not rushed.
2. Pre-Approval Made Simple
Your MDMTG.com rep gathers your docs: pay stubs, tax returns, ID. We run a soft credit check—minimum 640 for MMP. Pre-approval takes a day or two. It’s your green light to house hunt. We give you a letter showing sellers you’re serious. Rates fluctuating? We track them for you, locking when it’s smart. No need to shop elsewhere; we’ve got Maryland covered.
3. Finding Your Home
We connect you with trusted realtors in places like Annapolis or Columbia. They know Maryland’s neighborhoods. Your loan officer stays in touch, answering questions as you tour homes. Found the one? We help craft your offer, suggesting contingencies for inspections. Your rep ensures your budget aligns with your pre-approval.
4. The Application Process
Offer accepted? Your MDMTG.com loan officer submits Form 1003, the standard application. You provide bank statements and, if needed, gift letters for down payment help. We order an appraisal ($400-$600) to confirm the home’s value. Our team coordinates with MMP if you’re using their programs, checking income limits (up to $200,000 in some counties). Underwriting takes 1-3 weeks. We keep you updated—no surprises.
5. Closing with Confidence
Once approved, your rep sends a Loan Estimate detailing costs (2%-5% of the loan). We schedule closing at a local title office. You sign, pay closing costs, and get your keys. MMP perks? Grants or deferred loans for first-timers. Your loan officer celebrates with you—maybe even shares a virtual high-five!
Refinance Loan: Simplifying Your Goals
Refinancing in Maryland? Whether lowering payments or pulling cash, MDMTG.com makes it personal.
1. Discuss Your Needs
Your first call with your MDMTG.com loan officer is key. Want to cut your rate? Current rates hover around 6%. Need cash for debt consolidation? We explore equity—up to 97% loan-to-value with MMP. Your rep calculates break-even to ensure refi makes sense. No pressure, just numbers that work for you.
2. Pre-Qualification Check
We review your current mortgage, income, and credit. Scores matter, but we help improve them if needed. Your loan officer explains Maryland-specific options, like keeping MMP aid. You send us pay stubs and tax returns. We handle the rest, no need to shop around.
3. The Refinance Application
Your rep submits Form 1003 with your mortgage details. We order an appraisal to confirm value. Underwriting verifies no liens or issues. Using MMP? We send your file for state review, ensuring compliance. Your loan officer checks in, answering questions about fees or timelines (30-45 days total).
4. Closing Your Refinance
Your rep sends a Closing Disclosure outlining fees. At closing, you sign at a title office. Funds pay off your old loan, or you get cash-out. Streamline FHA refis? No appraisal needed. Your loan officer ensures every detail is clear, making it feel easy.
Maryland’s Unique Advantages
Maryland’s programs shine. MMP offers low-rate loans and grants for purchases or refis. First-Time Advantage gives zero-down FHA options. Veterans? VA loans mean no down payment. Refi with HomeCredit to reissue tax credits. Coastal areas like the Eastern Shore may need flood insurance—your rep explains it. Recordation tax applies over $500,000, but first homes get breaks.
