In a perfect world, we would learn to properly maintain every potential fire hazard in the house. Our heaters would always be in perfect working order. We would never leave a flammable object close to the open flame of a stove.
1. Before You Need It The best time to start preparing for a great mortgage is before you need it. There is a very good change that you will not rent your whole life and a pretty good chance you will not pay $400,000 cash. With the knowledge that you will eventually need it there are a number of steps that you need to take.
I was sitting at the kitchen table getting some work done and the kids were in the other room playing quietly when a loud knock rapped on the door. I got up and walked to the door expecting a neighbor's child asking to play with the 4 year old. Instead, when I opened the door, I was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of natural gas.
Fortunately, homes can be restored or rebuilt with the right general contractor and damaged items can be replaced. Unfortunately, the lives of the people in your home are not restorable or replaceable.
Behind him I could see a neighbor lady, her kids in a stroller, with a concerned look on her face peering around the officer. I shut the door and went to inspect the various rooms of the home to see if I could smell anything inside.
3. Call Around You should be calling around and finding your loan before you have begun looking at houses. This gives you more time to negotiate with banks and reduce the pressure you may feel. Now that you are actively seeking a deal you need to 4-5 different lenders. Call these different lenders and act for different quotes.
In order to get the most accurate quotes from lenders you need to give them the most accurate information. Go online first and find your credit score. Many companies can give you a general feel for your score, but you need to know what it is exactly.
They call their campaign Install. Inspect. Protect. They want everyone in the house to have proper warning of impending danger.
Once I got the kids settled at her house, I walked back to wait and see what was wrong so that I could call the homeowners with the information. It must have been a slow week because no less than EIGHT response vehicles showed up.
4. Compare Quotes Take all of the information that you have collected from the lenders and set them next to each other. The lenders should also have sent you a GFE (Good-Faith-Estimate) and a TIL (Truth in Lending). The TIL amortizes the costs of the loan over the life of the mortgage rate. It takes theses costs and adds them to the interest rates giving you your APR (Annual Percentage Rate).
Ultimately the fire fighters found the leak outside the home, checked the home to make sure it was safe to be inside, and called the gas company to come out and fix the line. (After their initial inspection of the leak on the day of, they didn't fix until a week later. But that's another story for another day.)
If there was one thing you did to fight fires at home, it should at least be the proper maintenance of your smoke alarms (and sprinkler systems if you have them).
The moral of this story is, when it rains, it pours and it's better to be safe than sorry.
Many general contractors try and work their way around the tight regulations but these laws are strict and there have been many law suits in the past because people tried to bypass them. Safety should be everyone's #1 goal.
