Please read these 10 steps of processing carefully and follow these to make the transaction a memorable moment in your life.
Before going for a home loan processing please be aware of your loan product and the terms and conditions that the Bank is asking to fulfill to have the loan done. There are different products for which bank is having different terms and conditions for each product. Normally the Bank will have the below products which come under home loans.
a. New Purchase of Flat or Independent House: In this a customer can purchase a New Flat or Independent house of his choice which is under construction or in ready to occupy position.
b. Resale purchase: This product is applicable to those customers who wants to go for a Flat or Independent house which was already owned by some body else.
C. Plot + Construction: The product is applicable to those customers who want to buy a Plot and do the construction immediately, but banks ask you to start the construction with in the specific period of time.
d. Balance Transfer (BT): A person who wants to transfer a loan from one Bank/Financial Institution to other can opt for this product.
e. Construction: A person who wants to construct a house in his/her plot can go for this loan.
f. Plot: A customer can go for this loan who wants to purchase a Plot which is under HUDA, Municipality and Grampanchayat limits.
g. Enhancement: Increasing the loan amount which was already taken from the same bank is called enhancement.
h. Top Up: This loan is just a facility that banks provide to customers to take on the basis of the previous loan and the repayment track.
I. Mortgage: It is the loan that a customer can opt by depositing the original property documents with the bank which he already owns.
2. Rate of Interest (ROI): The most important point to be taken care of in taking a home loan. There are two types of interest rates which banks normally have i.e Floating and Fixed.
Floating Rate of interest is subject to change according to the money market conditions. If the interest rate increases then the bank will increase the Rate of Interest on your loan vice versa.
Fixed Rate of Interest is fixed for the complete tenure of for over a period of time depending on the Banks, but Banks reserve the right to modify the rate of interest if they is any huge differences in the money market conditions.
Business Loans – 7 Reasons Not To Use A Bank (Page 1 of 2)
So you’re a small business owner and you need a business loan to further the objectives of your company. Where do you turn?
When it comes to a business loan or commercial real estate loan, there are many good reasons NOT to turn to a traditional bank. Here are some of the most important reasons. Many small business owners, will find most of these points directly applicable to them.
“THE BANK TURNED ME DOWN”
Of course the biggest reason most small businesses go looking for alternative sources of commercial real estate loans is because they have been declined by the banks. Small businesses are often forced to look for other sources of funding because the banks will not provide it. This is not even listed below, since there are many positive reasons to prefer non-bank funding, EVEN IF YOU CAN get an approval from a bank.
REASON 1 – The minimum loan amount available from banks is too high
In many cases banks will not offer a commercial real estate loan for less than $250,000. So if you only need $100,000 you will be pushed to borrow more than you actually need. Or if your property will not support a $250,000 loan you are out of luck with the banks.
The solution is to look for an alternative funding source that can provide a lower minimum amount. Some commercial financing services will go as low as $100,000, and will often give you better terms and much better service than the traditional banks.
REASON 2 – Many traditional banks will charge you an up-front “commitment fee” just to examine and process your application
Banks usually think they are doing you a favor by processing your application, so they will often make YOU pay for their attempts to win your business.
The solution is to find other established and credible lenders who are eager to offer you better service without charging you a fee for processing your application.
REASON 3 – Most traditional banks will severely limit the amount of cash you can get from a commercial real estate loan.
Banks usually have very narrow rules about where you can use the cash derived from a commercial real estate loan. If you need a cash injection for your business, or want to use the proceeds from a commercial mortgage as a down payment for another property, most banks will not be interested in that type of loan.
Look for a lender who does not restrict your use of the cash derived from commercial real estate loans. Some services, (see links below) can provide commercial loans that give you up to $1 million in cash to use however you want.
REASON 4 – Most traditional banks require detailed business plans before approving a commercial real estate loan.
Many small businesses have business plans, but they are usually not sufficiently detailed to satisfy the banks. As a result, applying for a commercial real estate loan from a bank can turn into a very time consuming and expensive process. Creating the type of business plan that is adequate for the banks will usually cost thousands of dollars.
