a mortgage loan is really two parts. There is the finanacial responsibility of the loan, this is the note and whomever applies for the loan signs the note. the mortgage itself or deed of trust depending on what state you live in, is signed by the individuals holding title to the property. One person has to be on the deed and on the note for the transaction. This document is the agreement between the title holders and the bank to use the property as collateral for the loan.
Most borrowers are pretty uneducated about interest rates as then tend to believe it’s the sole factor in either a purchase or refinance transaction and many times they don’t see the bigger picture. Rates themselves are only a small portion of the purchase picture, individuals need to find a home they like, the seller needs to cooperate and be flexible, the home has to pass inspection, the seller could get a better offer or a cash offer, the borrower has to get approved for a loan, there’s a tremendous amount of factors that goes into a purchase.
