Getting a great mortgage rate, especially when it comes to constructing your own house, can take some investment and time. Not only do you have to invest time but you need to understand what you are doing.

Last week I was sitting at home caring for two children ages 4 and 18 months old. I am a live-in nanny and am responsible for the part-time care of these kids and their 3 older siblings who are school age. Normally I only work a few hours a week for the family, but this particular week, both parents had gone out of town on short notice so I found myself on child care duty 24/7.

Fortunately, homes can be restored or rebuilt with the right general contractor and damaged items can be replaced. Unfortunately, the lives of the people in your home are not restorable or replaceable.

So although you can’t always protect your family by keeping the heater working right, or remembering to blow out the candle every night, you can do at least one thing to ensure the safety of your family, you can maintain your fire alarm and sprinkler system.

3. Call Around You should be calling around and finding your loan before you have begun looking at houses. This gives you more time to negotiate with banks and reduce the pressure you may feel. Now that you are actively seeking a deal you need to 4-5 different lenders. Call these different lenders and act for different quotes. In order to get the most accurate quotes from lenders you need to give them the most accurate information.

„Ma’am, I think I’ve found the source of the smell. Your gas is leaking. I’ve called the fire department and I’m gonna have to ask you to get the children and leave the home immediately until they come find out what’s wrong.“

They call their campaign Install. Inspect. Protect. They want everyone in the house to have proper warning of impending danger. If residents are awoken at the first sign of danger, the chance of them getting out of the building safely increase dramatically. For this reason, the USFA wants you to install smoke alarms inside and outside of sleeping areas and on every floor of your home.

Once I got the kids settled at her house, I walked back to wait and see what was wrong so that I could call the homeowners with the information. It must have been a slow week because no less than EIGHT response vehicles showed up.

5. Call again and Negotiate Now that you understand what your options are. Go to your top three lenders and call them. Explain what your needs are and what better deals you have been given. Give them reason to bid against each other. The better your credit score and history the more bargaining power you have. Call them until you receive the deal that you are looking for. You will probably feel like a jerk when negotiating.

It will seem that you are the only one who is bothering them this much looking for a better rate. Do not budge! This is a business arrangement and not a friendly conversation. Negotiate for the price you want. Make sure the price is within your budget. If you were thinking of building a new house talk to a few general contractors to get a feel for what you want and can afford.
