Before you start shopping for your property with Monte Hartman, it is a good idea to make some preparations.
Build Your Green File.
A green file contains all your important financial documents. You will need it to secure financing for your property. The typical green file should contain:
Check Your Credit Rating – Speak to a Lender.
Your credit score will have a huge impact on what type of property you can buy, and at what price. It is first recommended to check your credit rating with an experienced lending institution so that we can help you to determine what you can afford. The lender will research your credit ratings from the three credit reporting agencies Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. We will be happy to recommend experienced, knowledgeable lenders in the residential, construction, and commercial and investment real estate fields. We are fortunate to have several lending resources on the Monte Hartman Team and some are located in-house at our office. They are always available for you to consult with regarding possible mortgage loans or other financial needs and there is zero obligation to speak with them.
Be Careful With Your Finances.
Now is not a good time to make sudden career changes or large purchases. You want to approach your property purchase from a position of financial stability.
