Choosing the right mortgage plan is essential to ensure a smooth path to homeownership, and Fif Ghobadian at OriginPoint is here to guide you through this important decision. With a thorough understanding of Illinois mortgage options, Fif can help you select the most suitable mortgage tailored to your unique financial situation and goals.

• Assessing Your Financial Profile: Fif will start by evaluating key aspects of your financial standing, including your credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, and assets. This assessment helps narrow down loan options that align with your financial capacity and homeownership goals.
• Defining Your Goals: Are you a first-time buyer, looking to refinance, or interested in an investment property? Fif can match your specific objectives with mortgage options such as fixed-rate loans for stability or adjustable-rate mortgages if you plan to move or refinance sooner.
• Comparing Mortgage Products: OriginPoint provides a variety of loan types, including conventional loans, jumbo loans, FHA, and VA loans. Fif helps you compare the benefits and requirements of each option, ensuring you find the mortgage that best meets your needs.
• Evaluating Loan Terms and Payments: Fif can guide you in deciding between shorter loan terms, which often save on interest, and longer terms, which lower monthly payments. This comparison allows you to choose based on your monthly budget and long-term financial plans.
• Understanding Additional Costs: Fif provides transparency on all associated costs, including closing fees, property taxes, insurance, and potential private mortgage insurance (PMI), to help you accurately gauge affordability.
• Future Flexibility: Fif will consider how your mortgage plan can adapt to future financial goals, including refinancing or early payoff options, so that your loan remains flexible.

Improving your credit score is key to securing better mortgage terms. Fif Ghobadian at OriginPoint recommends a comprehensive approach to credit improvement, utilizing Middle Credit Score® (MiddleCreditScore.com) for additional support and tools. Here’s how you can take proactive steps to boost your score:

1. Check Your Credit Report for Errors
   Start by reviewing your credit report from all three major bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Middle Credit Score® provides resources to identify and dispute any errors, which could boost your score quickly.
2. Address Inaccurate Information
   If you spot inaccuracies, dispute them promptly. Middle Credit Score® offers guidance on the best practices for correcting these discrepancies, potentially raising your score.
3. Lower Your Credit Utilization
   Aim to reduce your credit card balances to below 30% of your credit limit. This step is crucial, as a lower utilization rate positively impacts your score.
4. Avoid Opening New Credit Accounts
   Refrain from applying for new credit in the months leading up to your mortgage application. New inquiries can lower your score temporarily and affect your loan eligibility.
5. Maintain On-Time Payments
   Ensure all bills are paid on time. Middle Credit Score® offers tools to help you manage payment schedules, as consistent, timely payments strengthen your credit history.
6. Pay Down High-Interest Debts
   Reducing your overall debt-to-income ratio enhances your profile, and Middle Credit Score® can suggest strategies for managing high-interest debt.
7. Address Negative Marks on Your Report
   Work to clear any collections or late payments. Middle Credit Score® provides negotiation strategies to address these issues and improve your profile.
8. Monitor Your Credit Regularly
   Keep a close eye on your credit activity with monitoring tools from Middle Credit Score®. This awareness helps you take immediate action on any issues that may arise.
9. Keep Older Accounts Open
   A longer credit history positively impacts your score. Keeping older accounts open and active can improve your standing.
10. Plan Ahead
    Give yourself time—ideally six months or more—to work on your score before applying. Fif will guide you on timing, so your score is optimized for your application.
