With that said, I was wondering what tips/advice you current (or past) home owners have in regards to shopping for the best mortgage. I'm an amateur at the moment and so far have consulted with LendingTree. Sometimes, however, I get a feeling that I may not be getting the best loan/rates possible.
Any takers on this? Thanks in advance!  |
Avoid taking on new auto loans, boat loans, personal loans, etc. Increase cash savings.
