Words of Wisdom About Getting Home Loans

Applying for A Real Estate Loan is Hard Work!

Read what a professional lender and great guy has to say about the process of getting a home loan in today's lending environment.

"It may seem in today’s world that applying for a mortgage loan requires giving up your first born; however, there are some steps that a prospective homebuyer can take that can help in the application process.
Credit scores and credit history is relied upon very heavily by lenders when analyzing a credit application.  The higher the credit score is, the benefits for the borrower are greatly increased including better interest rates and lesser restrictive qualifying guidelines. 

One teps that a borrower can take prior to applying for a loan is to avoid applying for additional credit such as credit cards.  Each time additional credit is applied for, even if the credit is not accepted or wanted by the borrower, an inquiry will be reflected on the credit report.  A lender looks at these inquiries as potential additional debt and could require additional explanations by borrower.   In addition, do not apply for a mortgage loan with several lenders. 

Do your homework first, getting cost estimates from different lenders to compare rates and cost.  Choosing a lender based on the lowest rates is not always the best choice.  Rely on your realtor to give feedback on viable lender options.  Remember, choosing a lender that is reliable, ethical and knowledgeable goes a long way in making the application process smoother and less stressful.

The amount of debt that a borrower has is an important factor in qualifying.   Exceeding certain debt to income guidelines could prevent a borrower from being able to qualify for the home of their dreams.  Avoid taking on additional debt if possible.
Be ready to provide the lender, prior to application, the following items.  This will help expedite the preapproval process and not to mention, make life a little easier by having this information organized and ready to provide.
  • Paystubs for the most recent 30 day period
  • w-2’s for the most recent two year period
  • tax returns, personal and corporate (if applicable) for the most recent 2 year period
  • bank statements, investment account statements for the most recent 60 day period
  • retirement statements for the most recent period
  • Copy of drivers license
By providing this information upon application, a lender will be able to give a borrower valuable feedback immediately on whether they qualify and/or what amount of loan that could be qualified for."

Dallas Attracts International Conference Center/Executive Suite Enterprise

Affiliate of Mexico Based Grupo Lomelin Kicks Off US Expansion

March 12, 2012, Dallas, TX – Access Business Centers, an international firm in the Executive Suite & Conference Center Industry announces that it has opened a facility at Spectrum Center in Dallas (Addison 75001).

Founded by Grupo Lomelin, Access incorporates new approaches to the industry and includes a custom 4,000 sq ft Collaboration & Conference Center featuring high-tech media:scape, a collaborative, upscale furniture solution with technology integration offered by Steelcase, the global leader in office furniture.

Polycom, the Global Leader in Telepresence, Video and Voice Conferencing Solutions, provides the Video-Conferencing Equipment. SMtelcom installed and will maintain the systems and networks. Interprise Design and Miller Office Interiors collaborated in the design of the facility.

Grupo Lomelin’s Hector Soto provided technical consulting for the facility. The location utilizes a Cisco System backbone network, and a ShoreTel VoIP telephone system to provide services.

Few shared office operators can provide the array of exclusive services and capabilities that Access provides. Typical Executive Suites allow for a professionally structured private office environment with some support services.

Because of the enhanced services available, offices at Access are different in that they free up much-needed cash flow for large or start-up companies’ more necessary expenses and business activities. They are truly, “smarter working spaces!” A unique design incorporates a four-work-modes concept. This allows for a highly productive atmosphere.

Large corporations seeking to reduce their real estate footprint can do so without having to build company owned and operated facilities.

Francisco Lomelin, President & CEO of Access, comments: “We are excited about this venture. Companies are looking to cut real estate costs by utilizing unique facilities like ours to streamline office operations without sacrificing quality and functionality.

Our team of office professionals provides services found in Executive Suite environments as well as complete services for start-up businesses seeking to expand. Client success is our primary goal.”
