condos for sale london ontario: Why You Should Get Pre-Approved For Financing Before Buying A Home
- 01/19/10 01:35 AM
Why would you consider getting pre-approved before buying a home? Years ago, buyers didn't worry about financing their home purchase until after they found the home they wanted to buy. Once they had an accepted offer, they'd shop around for a week or so and then submit a loan application.

This way, the buyer is seen as more stable, has greater influence in negotiating a purchase price, and can act quickly … (8 comments)

condos for sale london ontario: Financial Consumers Unprotected
- 01/11/10 06:33 AM
"Consumers are at risk from unsafe financial products" says Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren. "It is impossible to buy a toaster that has a one-in-five chance of bursting into flames and burning down your house. But it is possible to refinance an existing home with a mortgage that has the same one-in-five chance of putting the family on the street-and the mortgage won't even carry a disclosure of that fact to the homeowner!" How Did Financial Products Get So Dangerous? Ms. Warren goes on to say that part of the problem is that disclosure has been a way to confuse rather … (2 comments)
