Check with your loan officer to see what interest rate you will be offered. It depends on your credit score. If you need to work on your score to bring it up they can help you with that.
We will provide you with a net proceeds when you request a home valuation. This shows you the expenses to sell. This will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms so you can make a good decision.
If you are thinking about buying a home get all your financial information together, and get it to your loan officer, so they can put you through underwriting so you can get approved before even looking at homes. You will know that you qualify for the homes that you are looking at, and the seller will not worry about accepting your offer knowing that you have already gone through the process. As long as the home appraises out and title work is done it will close. Waiting until a week before closing to find out you are approved is crazy.
