Buying a Home? Get Pre-Approved with On Point
Pre-approval is one of the first steps for home buyers and a key part of the process. Being pre-approved shows sellers you are serious. It also gives you a price range and mortgage estimate before house hunting. On Point Home Loans streamlines pre-approval to quickly confirm the loan amount you qualify for.
Why Get Pre-Approved?
Buyers sometimes make the mistake of house shopping before securing loan pre-approval. But without this important first step, you may fall in love with homes out of your price range! Pre-approval does several key things:
-
Gives a Maximum – The pre-approval letter states the maximum home loan amount you can obtain based on income, debts and credit. This prevents looking at houses you can’t afford.
-
Shows Sellers You Are Serious – Sellers prefer buyers who have been pre-approved. It demonstrates you have the financing lined up to complete the purchase.
-
Strengthens Offers – Pre-approved buyers often have an advantage over other offers without financing verification.
-
Saving Time – Going through underwriting upfront avoids delays and surprises later in the process.
-
Locks in Rates – You can lock your interest rate with pre-approval to protect against future rate hikes.
As soon as you start considering buying a home, get pre-qualified so you know where you stand. On Point Home Loans makes it fast and easy.

FAQ

What is the hardest home loan to get?
What is a mortgage point?
A mortgage point – sometimes called a discount point – is a one-time fee you pay to lower the interest rate on your home purchase or refinance. One discount point costs 1% of your total home loan amount. For example, if you take out a mortgage for $100,000, one point will cost $1,000.
What are mortgage origination points?
It refers to the origination fees you pay your lender to cover the cost of processing and reviewing your mortgage loan application. Depending on your credit score and the size of your down payment, sometimes you can negotiate these fees with your loan officer. Unlike discount points, mortgage origination points don’t lower your interest rate.
How much do mortgage points cost?
Your lender offers you an interest rate of 4.75% if you purchase 1.75 mortgage points. On a $200,000 loan, each point will cost $2,000. For your loan, 1.75 points will cost $3,500. If you don’t buy the mortgage points, your interest rate will stay at 5.125%.
Do discount points work on a mortgage?
Discount points work similarly for adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loans as they do with fixed-rate loans. The only difference is that the interest on your ARM will adjust after 5 or 7 years, making it crucial to know how long it will take to make buying points on a mortgage worth the investment.
