    FAQs

    Burr Ridge Mortgage Frequently Asked Questions

    Should I wait for interest rates to fall before I buy a home or consider a purchase refinance?

    Mortgage rates are currently low. They reached an all-time low in the spring of 2021, and while they’ve climbed a bit since then, we are still near the 40-year low point. At Nathan Mortgage, a trusted mortgage professional, we will take the time to answer your questions and help you understand where rates are now, where they’ve been, and where they may head in the future. We want to make sure you have the information you need to make an educated decision. Keep in mind, you can buy now and refinance in the future should we see rates dip lower again!

    How can I find out how much house I can afford?

    Use our Affordability Calculator to find out. Or contact us, and a loan officer can ask you a few questions to get you prequalified, this will include the amount you are approved for, making home shopping easy.

    How do I choose a mortgage lending lender?

    Working with a trusted lender is important to make the home buying process smooth and fast. Look for compatibility and traits that you value, such as trust, communication, and credibility (Google is a great place to check for consistent 5-star reviews). Ask probing questions to ensure your lender is an expert home loan professional. Getting the wrong loan can affect how much home you are approved for. So it’s important to work with a lender who can get you more options and the right loan for your goals. At Nathan Mortgage, we want your loan to make sense and will take the time to ensure you have the confidence you need to begin home shopping.

    What credit score do I need to qualify for a home loan?

    The minimum credit score depends on the type of loan you are applying for. FHA loans, backed by HUD, require a minimum 580 mid fico score. VA Loans through the Veterans Administration can go well below 580 on a case-by-case basis. Conventional loans backed by Fannie or Freddie typically require a 620 minimum mid-fico score. Jumbo loans and loans not backed by a government agency usually have higher score requirements. The best way to learn what loan you need and what your score means in terms of your lending options is to call us and let us help you evaluate your individual loan options.

    How does Nathan Mortgage work with my real estate agent to help me buy a home?

    As your Burr Ridge mortgage broker, we not only work to get you the best mortgage rates but also partner with your real estate agent to give you the strongest position possible when making an offer on your dream home. If needed, we can call the listing agent and explain the benefits of your home loan and what makes your offer compelling. We put you in the best position possible to have your offer win over any others. We are known and well-liked by many agents in the Chicago area, and when they see an offer supported by a pre-approval from Nathan Mortgage, that in and of itself increases your odds of having your offer accepted. We deliver on-time closings, and that is what listing agents care about – they don’t want to see their clients impacted by an incompetent lender.

    How is a Burr Ridge mortgage broker different from a big bank?

    When you go to a big bank for your mortgage lending needs, you get to choose only from the products, mortgage loans, and an interest rate that are offered and sold by that one bank. Big banks also carry a lot of overhead: large buildings, multiple layers of management, advertising budgets for TV commercials, celebrity endorsements, etc. They pass those costs on to their clients through what Nathan describes as “loan bloat.” You skip those costs when you go with independent mortgage loan originators like Nathan Mortgage. Why? Because Nathan Mortgage has access to over forty different end investors who compete to fund your loan. We have pricing that leads our industry and don’t need sports stars or fancy TV commercials to gain clients. We offer better loans at better interest rates and a better mortgage price. You’re effectively shopping 40+ banks with a single phone call by calling us. We will get you the best deal you qualify for every single time. LEARN MORE

    Do you provide personal loans, land loans, adjustable rate loans, or construction loans?

    At this time, we don’t provide personal loans, land loans, or construction loans. We provide conventional fixed-rate loans, FHA, VA, USDA, and Jumbo loans, and loans for self-employed borrowers. We also provide reverse mortgages and some lesser-known loan types such as bank statement loans.

    Can an adjustable rate mortgage help me buy more house now?

    Yes, an adjustable-rate mortgage can help you buy more house now as opposed to a fixed-rate loan as it provides a lower interest rate at the beginning of the loan. An adjustable-rate mortgage is designed with a variable or adjustable rate after an initial set term(s). The interest rate will adjust within a set range according to the set terms of the loan and may result in higher monthly costs in the future as opposed to a fixed-rate loan. 98% of the loans we originate are fixed-rate loans because they often better protect our clients.

    I’m ready to buy a home, but need to find a local real estate agent. When should I speak to a mortgage lender?

    When you want to buy a home, it’s never too early to speak with Nathan Mortgage or your chosen Burr Ridge mortgage broker. We will give you valuable information about your home loan that can help focus your search to the right range of home prices and help you be in the best position when making an offer on your dream home. Nathan Mortgage can refer you to a realtor that can make a critical difference in your home search. When making one of the largest purchases of your life, it’s crucial to have a seasoned, skilled, and professional team on your side. We build long-lasting relationships with our preferred realtors, allowing us to work together without hiccups. That helps you close quickly, have more leverage with sellers, and communicates to potential sellers that you are equipped with a great team to help make the seller’s experience a good one.

    How does the down payment affect my monthly mortgage payment?

    Your down payment can affect your monthly mortgage payment in a number of different ways. A larger down payment reduces the overall amount of your loan, lowering the amount of principal and interest you must pay each month. If your down payment is 20% of the value of your new home, you will avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which can also lower your monthly payment by hundreds of dollars. When it comes to mortgage lending, a larger down payment is viewed as having more “skin in the game” and thus poses a lower risk of default, allowing for a lower rate mortgage. If you have a smaller down payment, the lender may view your loan as a higher risk and give you a higher rate mortgage in response.

      My husband and I applied for a mortgage with Nathan Jennison. I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with him. This man knows what he's talking about. He's quick and you can tell he loves his job. He spoke … More with us for a while making sure that we understood everything, giving us examples of similar situations and made us both feel like he was a long time friend. I'll definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

      We felt like we were in the best hands during a crazy housing market. We found Nathan Jennison when we quickly went under contract and realized we needed a more competitive interest rate at the last minute. In addition to helping us lock … More in a lower rate, we required a quick closing date which he was able to pull off successfully. Throughout the process, he provided exemplary customer service by being immensely communicative every step of the way providing immediate updates and answering all of our questions in a quick manner. He worked tirelessly to help us close quickly at the best rate with no hiccups. We will be using Nathan again for future deals and highly recommend him and his team!
