Where Do You Start to Find the Best Deal on a Home Mortgage Loan?

So...where do you start? Probably not where you would think to start. A lot of people just walk into the bank or credit union where they have their checking or savings account and ask for a home mortgage loan or a home equity loan. Then they walk out with either no loan (a turn down) or what ever loan that particular bank has to offer. The rate may sound OK or even good, but unless you have perfect credit, its probably not the best you could get. So, where do you start? Start here. I have a lot of experience in getting home loans for various properties and reasons, and I've collected some articles, and written some of what I've found out in short one page form. I'll be posting this information here as fast as I can collect it and edit it, so keep returning here over the next few weeks and you'll get to see it all. Hopefully it will help you make a more informed decision about what exactly you need to look for in a mortgage loan, and also help you find the right people to get it for you. And, along the way, I'll try and help you decide just what you're looking for in your new home.
