UrbanTurf Reader Asks: How Do I Shop Around For a Mortgage?
Shopping around for the best mortgage is a common practice in the home buying process, particularly in markets like this one. However, exactly how to go about finding the best option is a task that requires research and advice. In this week’s installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader inquires about the mortgage shopping process and what is involved:
"How do I shop around for a mortgage? Does the process entail going to a few banks/institutions and having them check my credit report/score, and then they give me the loan/interest rate options based on that? Does every inquiry into my credit report/score actually lower my score?"
