1-Which Type of Loan do you advise and has the lender explain the pros and cons?
The Lender should help you understand each one of these loans. If you don't like the answers you receive, continue shopping.
2-What Are All the Costs including not only fees for the lender's, also related third-party vendor fees?
The lender should be more than willing to disclose what their interest rates are for different types of loans, as well as the annual percentage rate, appraisal fees and title insurance.
3-Will the Lender Guarantee the Good Faith Estimate According to Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA)?
This is an estimate on the amount of money that it will cost to close your loan. The lender is required by federal law to give to you this information. If your lender refuses to stand behind its estimate, go elsewhere.
The reason for this is because most likely that there will be some money surprises on closing days.
