It is worth to take a mortgage loan for your own apartment.

Many of us very often rent an apartment/room, especially when still being a young person who study or frequently change places of residence. However, if you know that you want to live in a certain place and just want to be “on your own” then a mortgage used to finance your own apartment is the best possible option.

There are a couple of reasons why you should purchase your own apartment with the support of a loan. First, you pay for your own apartment, and despite the obvious cost of the loan, the apartment becomes yours over time. This is definitely a better investment in the long term. When you rent an apartment, your payments essentially go toward your landlord’s mortgage, leaving you with no long-term benefits. Furthermore, living in a rented apartment is generally less comfortable, particularly in the long run, compared to owning your own property. Owning an apartment offers a higher level of comfort, and the monthly mortgage payment can sometimes be lower than the cost of renting.

I myself decided to get a mortgage despite having a large own contribution. The total cost of my apartment, including interior finishes, was about $95,000. The mortgage amounted to $35,000. Some individuals may have reservations about taking out loans, but I believe that without them, many of us would be stuck renting apartments indefinitely. Few people would want to save cash for half of their lives to buy an apartment, and few can resist the temptation to spend their savings. This is where a mortgage comes to our rescue. 

Is a mortgage loan a complicated procedure?

Anyone with this process ahead of them is probably a little apprehensive about all the details and the enormity of the information. Perhaps rightly so, but that’s where people like Tomasz Zastawny come in. Tomek virtually got all things done in my behalf during the entire loan procedure. Starting from finding the best deals, completing the paperwork, and concluding with a joint visit to the bank to sign the contract. In addition, we even recorded a video for you afterwards. You can find the link below.

Therefore, you should not be afraid of a complicated procedure, as long as you have a financial expert ready to help you. Just like you don’t have to be a car mechanic to own a car — all you need is a good workshop and you’re good to go.

Creditworthiness is essential

Banks calculate your creditworthiness with their calculators, which financial experts such as Tomek Zastawny also have access to (he was able to show deals from a dozen banks). You can take a loan not only if you are employed based on an employment contract, but with a contract for mandate or if are a sole proprietorship. It all depends on the bank, the amount of your income and how regular it is. First of all, you must meet bank prerequirements, which are clearly defined, and any good financial expert will help you with this — you don’t have to study this knowledge specifically at all.

With an employment contract, you only need to work for 3 months and be creditworthy. Also, it is not that complicated and difficult. The best thing to do in this case is to use help of an expert, as they always has all the necessary and up-to-date knowledge in the field. Such person will present you deals from many banks and even help you fill out the documents from your developer, for example.

To ensure good creditworthiness, an employment contract, preferably for an indefinite period, is still highly desirable (of course, this is not a prerequisite). If your contract and earnings are insufficient for a mortgage then you can ask your boss for a raise (even a temporary one) or simply switch to a better paying job.

Mortgage loan and own contribution

Own contribution requirement when buying an apartment with a mortgage may vary but often it is a minimum of 20%. There are banks that will allow you to get a loan even with a contribution as low as 10%. Of course, the larger your contribution, the better mortgage terms you will get. When taking a mortgage for an apartment, my own contribution was equal to the half of the price of the property, and this fact undoubtedly increased my creditworthiness.

The cost of the loan is also lower with a larger down-payment, because the smaller the loan you take, the less money you have to give back to the bank.

Mortgage loan and instalment amount

Depending on your situation, you can get a mortgage for different periods of time. If you choose to repay the loan over a longer period of time then the instalment will be smaller, but the cost of the loan will be higher. It all depends on your financial ability to pay the mortgage. In addition, it is also worth to remember about the financial cushion, or in other words saved cash amounting to 6 months of your income.

I decided to take loan for 15 years and my instalment is $260. The loan period and the amount of the instalment is up to you. An interesting option may be to choose the longest possible repayment period (low instalment) with the option to overpay the loan. A small instalment means small risk, but at the same time, if you have excess cash, you can increase this instalment as you see fit.

Where to start to get a mortgage?

The best way to start is to meet with an expert and determine your creditworthiness. You can then analyse the cost of purchase and determine whether you can afford to buy your own apartment. Then, you should proceed to look for a property. Once you find the right one, proceed to fill out your loan applications. Your credit agent will also help you with your search for a matching apartment, and they will even put you in touch with selected developers.

Is it possible for two people (for a couple) to get a shared loan?

Obviously, this is possible. It can significantly increase your creditworthiness. It is not necessary to be formally married to get such a loan. I can confirm it is possible, because this is how I got a loan for an apartment together with my fiancée.

Do you have to pay an expert for his support?

The services of financial experts dealing with mortgages, such as Tomasz Zastawny, are free of charge for the client. These experts receive compensation from the bank based on the outcome of their work, with no cost to the customer. A financial expert will always try to make sure that you get a good loan (in any bank), because they will only get paid if the whole process goes well.

Just act and use the help of others

I hope I have shed some light on the process of buying your own apartment with the assistance of a mortgage. Do not hesitate to embark on your mortgage project. Many people have fears, but with a little professional help and action, it can be accomplished. Even if your creditworthiness is found to be insufficient, you will learn what changes are needed and how to improve it. In such a scenario, consider negotiating a salary raise or seeking a higher-paying job to save for your own contribution. Eventually, the apartment will be yours. Good luck!

00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,679
Hi! I’m Tomek.
From Waiter To Millionaire. Welcome.

2
00:00:04,680 –> 00:00:08,860
Today I’ll tell you
how to get a mortgage loan.

3
00:00:08,880 –> 00:00:14,071
I’m about to meet Tomek Zastawny,
who’s gonna explain to you

4
00:00:14,072 –> 00:00:16,086
how to get this loan.

5
00:00:16,087 –> 00:00:19,614
I’ve managed to get one,
so it’s not that hard.

6
00:00:25,040 –> 00:00:29,029
Welcome. We’re with Tomasz Zastawny,
a financial expert.

7
00:00:29,030 –> 00:00:30,657
– Hi.
– Hi.

8
00:00:30,658 –> 00:00:34,171
– I’m very pleased to meet you.
– Me too.

9
00:00:34,172 –> 00:00:39,257
– I’ve managed to get a loan.
– You simply had a good expert.

10
00:00:39,258 –> 00:00:44,814
Yes, we did it together.
You’ve helped me get a credit.

11
00:00:45,729 –> 00:00:49,020
Who are you?
Introduce yourself briefly.

12
00:00:49,040 –> 00:00:54,186
Briefly. I’m Tomasz Zastawny.
I’m a financial expert.

13
00:00:54,187 –> 00:00:59,420
I’ve been working in credit intermediation
business for almost 11 years.

14
00:00:59,440 –> 00:01:02,100
I started in July 2007.

15
00:01:02,120 –> 00:01:07,071
It was a memorable date,
because I was getting married.

16
00:01:07,072 –> 00:01:11,729
It was interesting.
I’ve spent my honeymoon on a training.

17
00:01:11,730 –> 00:01:16,014
My wife was more than happy.

18
00:01:16,015 –> 00:01:21,786
So, for almost 11 years I’ve been helping
making dreams of my clients come true,

19
00:01:21,787 –> 00:01:26,686
regarding their apartments, homes –
real estates, in general.

20
00:01:26,687 –> 00:01:33,113
That’s what I’ve been doing for the last
11 years and I hope there’ll be more,

21
00:01:33,114 –> 00:01:35,850
as I really enjoy doing what I do.

22
00:01:35,880 –> 00:01:39,919
You certainly know how to get this loan.

23
00:01:39,920 –> 00:01:45,886
Tell us, why we should
get a mortgage loan on our apartment?

24
00:01:45,887 –> 00:01:50,780
You probably already know
the answer to this question yourself.

25
00:01:50,800 –> 00:01:54,500
– Yes, but maybe our viewers don’t.
– You’re right.

26
00:01:54,501 –> 00:02:00,271
I got my first credit in 2004,
when the apartments were much cheaper,

27
00:02:00,272 –> 00:02:08,300
so this credit was not that big,
but many people rent flats now.

28
00:02:08,320 –> 00:02:11,443
It’s very common.

29
00:02:11,444 –> 00:02:18,159
When you rent an apartment,
you pay an instalment for it’s owner.

30
00:02:18,160 –> 00:02:22,639
Unless the owner already
paid an apartment loan,

31
00:02:22,640 –> 00:02:25,580
so he earns on renting.

32
00:02:25,600 –> 00:02:30,813
But nowadays there’re a lot of investors
who buy apartments on a loan,

33
00:02:30,814 –> 00:02:36,043
rent, tenats pay their loan
and often they also earn on it.

34
00:02:36,044 –> 00:02:42,229
That’s a great situation,
whereas people who rent this apartment

35
00:02:42,230 –> 00:02:48,200
and pay for it don’t realize
that they can take out a loan

36
00:02:48,201 –> 00:02:51,400
and repay their own apartment.

37
00:02:51,401 –> 00:02:56,343
When we buy an apartment,
we become attached to this place.

38
00:02:56,344 –> 00:03:03,042
Renting gives us a freedom to live in
different parts of, for example, Kraków,

39
00:03:03,043 –> 00:03:08,719
but it doesn’t give us a freedom
to do what we want in our apartment.

40
00:03:08,720 –> 00:03:14,599
Often, when renting,
we even need a permission for nailing.

41
00:03:14,600 –> 00:03:17,628
That’s an uncomfortable situation.

42
00:03:17,629 –> 00:03:20,486
Or paint a wall in different color.

43
00:03:20,487 –> 00:03:24,256
While in your apartment
you can do anything.

44
00:03:24,257 –> 00:03:30,900
So, as long as you have a solvency,
you should buy your 2- or 3-person

45
00:03:30,901 –> 00:03:36,660
and feel comfortable, having
your own apartment and repaying it.

46
00:03:36,661 –> 00:03:41,600
The loan instalment is often
the same as the owner’s rent.

47
00:03:41,601 –> 00:03:44,929
So, if we know that
we want to live somewhere,

48
00:03:44,930 –> 00:03:50,599
why should we pay rent instead of
pay for ourselves in a kind of investment.

49
00:03:50,600 –> 00:03:53,242
– Exactly.
– And do it this way.

50
00:03:53,243 –> 00:03:57,380
But many people
who don’t have a mortgage loan

51
00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:01,420
are afraid of this process,
as it seems complicated.

52
00:04:01,440 –> 00:04:06,171
Taking a loan for an apartment,
lots of paperwork, certificates.

53
00:04:06,172 –> 00:04:11,413
Anyone who wants to take
such a loan thinks that it’s complicated.

54
00:04:11,414 –> 00:04:13,860
Is it really that complicated?

55
00:04:13,880 –> 00:04:19,959
For me, it’s not, as I’ve been working
in this business for 11 years.

56
00:04:19,960 –> 00:04:24,000
It’s simple.
But each client is different,

57
00:04:24,001 –> 00:04:28,829
almost every topic that I process
is different.

58
00:04:28,830 –> 00:04:33,740
The clients’ situations
often differ from each other.

59
00:04:33,760 –> 00:04:38,386
Therefore, what is worth doing
at the start?

60
00:04:38,387 –> 00:04:42,239
Check our solvency. That’s the basis.

61
00:04:42,240 –> 00:04:45,929
First thing – if we earn
a certain salary,

62
00:04:45,930 –> 00:04:52,180
are we able to take out such a credit
which will allow us to buy an apartment.

63
00:04:52,200 –> 00:04:58,919
So, in order to take out a loan,
we need to have a solvency.

64
00:04:58,920 –> 00:05:04,260
First thing –
we have an employment contract,

65
00:05:04,280 –> 00:05:08,620
we have a basic salary, bonuses, benefits.

66
00:05:08,640 –> 00:05:11,660
This allows us to repay the loan.

67
00:05:11,680 –> 00:05:16,342
Banks have their calculators,
I also have an access

68
00:05:16,343 –> 00:05:21,820
to over a dozen
bank’s calculators from my offer,

69
00:05:21,840 –> 00:05:27,771
we’re able to check whether
a given person has a solvency.

70
00:05:27,772 –> 00:05:34,429
Many people having a contract of work
or their own economic activity

71
00:05:34,430 –> 00:05:41,014
think that their type of income
prevents them from getting a credit.

72
00:05:41,015 –> 00:05:47,900
But they can. If you’ve earnings,
you’re employed at a particular workplace,

73
00:05:47,920 –> 00:05:53,540
depending on the form, for some time,
you can take out a loan.

74
00:05:53,560 –> 00:06:00,213
If you have a permanent contract,
it’s enough to work for 3 months

75
00:06:00,214 –> 00:06:03,620
in order to take out a mortgage loan.

76
00:06:03,640 –> 00:06:06,914
So, it’s not as difficult as it seems.

77
00:06:06,915 –> 00:06:12,679
If you devote your time to this task,
you can accomplish it within a few months.

78
00:06:12,680 –> 00:06:17,828
Yes. In general,
maybe I’m self-promoting myself now,

79
00:06:17,829 –> 00:06:22,956
but it’s worth to take advice
from an experience expert.

80
00:06:22,957 –> 00:06:29,886
Of course, you can go to a bank
and lose time there,

81
00:06:29,887 –> 00:06:36,214
because this bank’s advisor bank
will pitch for their loan offer.

82
00:06:36,215 –> 00:06:40,400
I’m here to guide you
through the whole process –

83
00:06:40,401 –> 00:06:47,699
the first meeting, signing documents,
completing paperwork from a developer

84
00:06:47,700 –> 00:06:52,940
or from the person
who sells you the property.

85
00:06:52,960 –> 00:06:56,215
I guide you around the whole process.

86
00:06:56,215 –> 00:07:02,460
Bank’s advisor will pitch their offer,
as that’s their job.

87
00:07:02,480 –> 00:07:08,599
It’s in my interest that
you get the best offer available.

88
00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:15,728
We compare the offers from all the banks
and choose the best one for you,

89
00:07:15,729 –> 00:07:21,143
so that you can recommend me –
if you’re satisfied with my service.

90
00:07:21,144 –> 00:07:26,380
That’s how I do business.
90% of my clients are referral customers.

91
00:07:26,400 –> 00:07:28,860
So, that’s how it goes.

92
00:07:28,880 –> 00:07:35,900
If I hadn’t done my job reliably,
I hadn’t recommended the best banks,

93
00:07:35,920 –> 00:07:39,620
then I probably
wouldn’t have sat here now.

94
00:07:39,640 –> 00:07:46,079
Yes, because I’m also your happy customer
and I can truly recommend you.

95
00:07:46,080 –> 00:07:51,180
My loaned apartment
is almost finished now.

96
00:07:51,200 –> 00:07:55,586
However, everyone’s afraid of it all.

97
00:07:55,587 –> 00:07:59,114
With your help through
the whole process –

98
00:07:59,115 –> 00:08:03,729
I can confirm it,
but I must ask you for our viewers –

99
00:08:03,730 –> 00:08:08,786
the entire process is not so complicated
if you have someone,

100
00:08:08,787 –> 00:08:11,986
who handles this topic for many years.

101
00:08:11,987 –> 00:08:15,314
That’s right. I know my business.

102
00:08:15,315 –> 00:08:22,171
But if my car’s broke,
I search for a good mechanic.

103
00:08:22,172 –> 00:08:27,639
I drive to him, he fixes my car,
I’m clueless what he’s doing.

104
00:08:27,640 –> 00:08:32,214
When a light bulb breaks in my car,
I don’t replace it,

105
00:08:32,215 –> 00:08:36,038
but meet an electician
who will do it for me.

106
00:08:36,040 –> 00:08:42,971
When you come to me,
you get info how to get a mortgage loan.

107
00:08:42,972 –> 00:08:49,679
As I’ve mentioned earlier,
I guide you from the first meeting

108
00:08:49,680 –> 00:08:55,599
and give you all the needed info
how to obtain this credit.

109
00:08:55,600 –> 00:09:02,457
The first step before buying a property
is to check your solvency.

110
00:09:02,458 –> 00:09:06,271
You must cut your coat
according to your cloth.

111
00:09:06,272 –> 00:09:12,657
It’s easy to take out a mortgage loan,
but you have to repay it.

112
00:09:12,658 –> 00:09:18,457
In addition to a solvency –
now we move to the next steps –

113
00:09:18,458 –> 00:09:22,613
you should also think about
your own contribution.

114
00:09:22,614 –> 00:09:26,400
The question is
how to get this contribution,

115
00:09:26,401 –> 00:09:29,743
but we won’t discuss this topic.

116
00:09:29,744 –> 00:09:34,500
We need to earn money
for our own contribution.

117
00:09:34,501 –> 00:09:38,186
It doesn’t need to be
a huge amount, right?

118
00:09:38,187 –> 00:09:42,143
Financial Supervision Authority
recommends that

119
00:09:42,144 –> 00:09:45,671
your contribution
should be a minimum 20%.

120
00:09:45,672 –> 00:09:49,585
But there are some banks
which will give you a credit

121
00:09:49,586 –> 00:09:52,300
for up to 90% of the property value.

122
00:09:52,301 –> 00:09:56,657
So, if you want to buy
an apartment for 70,000 USD,

123
00:09:56,658 –> 00:10:01,300
you need to have a minimum of 7,000 USD
in order to allocate them

124
00:10:01,301 –> 00:10:03,400
on your own contribution.

125
00:10:03,401 –> 00:10:09,329
Of course, there are also
deal-related charges, like notary fees.

126
00:10:09,330 –> 00:10:13,743
It also depends on which market
you buy this apartment –

127
00:10:13,744 –> 00:10:15,843
primary or secondary.

128
00:10:15,844 –> 00:10:18,614
They differ in costs.

129
00:10:18,615 –> 00:10:25,186
But we can talk about it on a meeting
and I can choose the best option for you.

130
00:10:25,187 –> 00:10:29,386
10% is a minimum.

131
00:10:29,387 –> 00:10:34,400
Of course, if we have 20%
of our own contribution,

132
00:10:34,401 –> 00:10:39,229
we can get better bank offers,
have greater availability,

133
00:10:39,230 –> 00:10:43,257
as some banks require 20%.

134
00:10:43,258 –> 00:10:49,519
You can learn all this at the meeting
and choose the best option.

135
00:10:49,520 –> 00:10:52,071
Also, a credit period.

136
00:10:52,072 –> 00:10:57,600
If we take a loan for a longer period,
we will have a lower installment.

137
00:10:57,601 –> 00:11:02,571
Shorter period – bigger installment,
but we’ll pay less interests

138
00:11:02,572 –> 00:11:04,843
in the entire credit period.

139
00:11:04,844 –> 00:11:09,871
There are many nuances
which we must discuss individually,

140
00:11:09,872 –> 00:11:14,860
because each customer is different
and expects something else.

141
00:11:14,880 –> 00:11:19,620
One prefers to have a longer period
and pay a lower installment.

142
00:11:19,640 –> 00:11:24,800
You must know that a mortgage loan
carries a variable interest rate.

143
00:11:24,800 –> 00:11:28,486
Today, I can have
an installment of 400 USD,

144
00:11:28,487 –> 00:11:34,299
but it doesn’t mean that it won’t change
through the entire credit period.

145
00:11:34,300 –> 00:11:39,443
Fixed interest rate loans
have recently appeared on the market,

146
00:11:39,444 –> 00:11:43,071
but, as of today,
their interests are higher

147
00:11:43,072 –> 00:11:46,671
than in credits
with a variable interest rate loan

148
00:11:46,672 –> 00:11:50,329
and I think that’s
the type of credit we should get.

149
00:11:50,330 –> 00:11:56,485
But there’s a risk that the rate changes
and our installments rise.

150
00:11:56,486 –> 00:12:01,842
To my clients who want to
take out a mortgage loan

151
00:12:01,843 –> 00:12:06,400
and say that they have
7,000 USD of savings,

152
00:12:06,401 –> 00:12:11,780
and they want to allocate
the whole sum as their own contribution,

153
00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:18,359
I recommend them to leave a reserve
named financial cushion.

154
00:12:18,360 –> 00:12:25,342
The financial cushion is, for me,
a minimum of 6 times our fixed expenses,

155
00:12:25,343 –> 00:12:29,660
so that there’s something left
to repay our mortgage.

156
00:12:29,680 –> 00:12:35,580
Because a mortgage is a loan for
purchase of the property where we live.

157
00:12:35,600 –> 00:12:41,599
If we don’t have the money,
the bank will want to enforce its claim.

158
00:12:41,600 –> 00:12:46,729
– And it won’t be nice.
– I hope we never find out.

159
00:12:46,730 –> 00:12:52,140
Many people have such a problem
that they don’t have this solvency.

160
00:12:52,160 –> 00:12:57,239
Even if they have their own contribution.
They don’t earn much.

161
00:12:57,240 –> 00:13:03,839
What can they do to improve a solvency?

162
00:13:03,840 –> 00:13:08,860
First of all, count your current solvency.

163
00:13:08,880 –> 00:13:14,043
Come to me and we’ll find out,
if we can get a certain amount

164
00:13:14,044 –> 00:13:16,060
with our income.

165
00:13:16,080 –> 00:13:21,542
If not, the first thing
if you work on an employment contract,

166
00:13:21,543 –> 00:13:26,500
as most of my clients
do work on an employment contract,

167
00:13:26,520 –> 00:13:30,771
often it is for a fixed period,
but most people have

168
00:13:30,772 –> 00:13:35,356
the one for indefinite period,
which is a plus for a bank,

169
00:13:35,357 –> 00:13:40,300
however, a fixed period
doesn’t preclude taking a loan.

170
00:13:40,301 –> 00:13:45,799
So, don’t be afraid if you have
a fixed period employment contract –

171
00:13:45,800 –> 00:13:48,457
you can still get a credit.

172
00:13:48,458 –> 00:13:53,143
– You need to meet some requirements.
– But they’re clear.

173
00:13:53,144 –> 00:13:58,543
Yes, a bank has a specified requirements,
like, you’re employed for some time,

174
00:13:58,544 –> 00:14:03,129
you have a contract for a fixed period,
but if for 6 or 12 months,

175
00:14:03,130 –> 00:14:05,314
you can also get a credit.

176
00:14:05,315 –> 00:14:10,013
The same with economic activity –
3 months is not enough.

177
00:14:10,014 –> 00:14:15,399
You run it for one year?
You can apply for a mortgage loan.

178
00:14:15,400 –> 00:14:19,359
Back to how to improve solvency –
go to your boss.

179
00:14:19,360 –> 00:14:23,220
If you’re good at your job,
ask for a raise.

180
00:14:23,240 –> 00:14:26,600
– Even a temporary one.
– Yes.

181
00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:30,660
But it would be nice
if it remains unchanged.

182
00:14:30,680 –> 00:14:34,359
– So that our boss won’t change his mind.
– Yes.

183
00:14:34,360 –> 00:14:37,957
If you’re a good employee,
you do your job reliably,

184
00:14:37,958 –> 00:14:42,940
I think that if you have a cool boss,
you’ll get that raise.

185
00:14:42,960 –> 00:14:45,740
The second option is to change a job.

186
00:14:45,760 –> 00:14:49,629
Nowadays, we have
a market for the employees –

187
00:14:49,630 –> 00:14:52,386
there’s shortage of workers.

188
00:14:52,387 –> 00:14:56,100
If you change a job
and there will be a continuation,

189
00:14:56,101 –> 00:15:00,980
it’s enough that you work for a month
and you can apply for a credit.

190
00:15:01,000 –> 00:15:04,470
– It seems easy and uncomplicated.
– Right?

191
00:15:04,471 –> 00:15:07,380
The third thing – an additional job.

192
00:15:07,400 –> 00:15:13,286
Of course, it requires effort
and organization of your time,

193
00:15:13,287 –> 00:15:20,559
but if you’re an expert in some field,
you can take contracts of mandate.

194
00:15:20,560 –> 00:15:27,300
It’s also some form of extra income,
if it’s performed regularly.

195
00:15:27,301 –> 00:15:32,540
It can also be regarded by a bank
as a stable income.

196
00:15:32,560 –> 00:15:36,585
Third point – I often meet with
young married couples

197
00:15:36,586 –> 00:15:39,580
who are beginning their life journey.

198
00:15:39,600 –> 00:15:43,713
They want to buy an apartment
and don’t have a solvency.

199
00:15:43,714 –> 00:15:46,100
Parents can join this loan.

200
00:15:46,120 –> 00:15:51,180
That is, if we have parents
who also receive income,

201
00:15:51,200 –> 00:15:56,620
a bank will take into account their
income to calculate solvency.

202
00:15:56,640 –> 00:15:59,460
So, you can consider this option.

203
00:15:59,480 –> 00:16:03,759
Of course, we’d prefer
to take this loan ourselves,

204
00:16:03,760 –> 00:16:09,656
not to burden the parents,
because if they join our loan,

205
00:16:09,657 –> 00:16:13,243
they’re also the owners of this credit.

206
00:16:13,244 –> 00:16:17,014
They may interfere in
an apartment finishing.

207
00:16:17,015 –> 00:16:18,980
And that’s uncomfortable.

208
00:16:19,000 –> 00:16:22,559
But it’s still better than
renting an apartment.

209
00:16:22,560 –> 00:16:26,342
Probably yes.
But there’s such a possibility.

210
00:16:26,343 –> 00:16:32,370
In time, if we start earning more,
parents can recede from this credit.

211
00:16:32,371 –> 00:16:37,256
We just need to show
that we have a sufficient income

212
00:16:37,257 –> 00:16:40,660
and parents can recede from the loan.

213
00:16:40,680 –> 00:16:45,399
– So, that’s also some solution.
– Of course.

214
00:16:45,400 –> 00:16:48,914
So, we can act
according to the situation,

215
00:16:48,915 –> 00:16:51,643
as each of us has a different one.

216
00:16:51,644 –> 00:16:53,186
That’s right.

217
00:16:53,187 –> 00:16:58,613
But it’s possible to get a loan for
an apartment in a few months.

218
00:16:58,614 –> 00:17:05,439
Yes. The procedure of obtaining
a mortgage loan looks like this –

219
00:17:05,440 –> 00:17:10,313
the first meeting is about
checking your solvency,

220
00:17:10,314 –> 00:17:16,313
determining what we want, buying
apartment on primary or secondary market.

221
00:17:16,314 –> 00:17:20,557
As I mentioned,
there’s a difference in cost.

222
00:17:20,558 –> 00:17:23,671
We determine how big a credit we want.

223
00:17:23,672 –> 00:17:29,700
Many people don’t know that we can also
get a loan to finish the apartment.

224
00:17:29,720 –> 00:17:33,914
If we buy it from a developer
and it’s empty,

225
00:17:33,915 –> 00:17:38,186
there’s a radiator
and sometimes a front door,

226
00:17:38,187 –> 00:17:42,810
we can also take out a credit
to finish this apartment.

227
00:17:42,840 –> 00:17:47,470
If only our solvency allows,
we take a loan for the purchase

228
00:17:47,471 –> 00:17:51,042
plus for the finishing of
such an apartment.

229
00:17:51,043 –> 00:17:56,242
Also on a secondary market,
if we buy it from an owner

230
00:17:56,243 –> 00:18:02,242
and it’s not pleasing to us,
as we don’t like colors or a bathroom,

231
00:18:02,243 –> 00:18:09,000
we can also get a credit from a bank
for the renovation of this property.

232
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:12,243
We just need to have a solvency.

233
00:18:12,244 –> 00:18:17,357
The first thing – determine a solvency
and what we want to buy,

234
00:18:17,358 –> 00:18:19,857
and we search for a property.

235
00:18:19,858 –> 00:18:25,671
I can also help my clients
find such a property.

236
00:18:25,672 –> 00:18:32,700
I work with many real estate agents,
I also have some contacts with developers.

237
00:18:32,720 –> 00:18:35,980
If you want, I can also help with it.

238
00:18:36,000 –> 00:18:41,140
I don’t deal with it myself,
as I don’t have that much time.

239
00:18:41,141 –> 00:18:46,729
After finding this property,
I inform my client

240
00:18:46,730 –> 00:18:52,010
what documents are necessary
to start the entire credit process.

241
00:18:52,040 –> 00:18:56,039
If we’ve already found the property,
signed a contract

242
00:18:56,040 –> 00:19:01,685
with the individual who sells us
the apartment or with the developer,

243
00:19:01,686 –> 00:19:05,160
we meet and fill out credit applications.

244
00:19:05,160 –> 00:19:09,485
I apply with my clients
mostly to 2 or 3 banks.

245
00:19:09,486 –> 00:19:14,029
Why are we doing this?
First of all, it doesn’t cost anything.

246
00:19:14,030 –> 00:19:17,686
We can submit up to 5 banks,
but it misses the point.

247
00:19:17,687 –> 00:19:19,643
– But we need to try.
– Yes.

248
00:19:19,644 –> 00:19:23,900
That’s used when
your solvency is questionable.

249
00:19:23,920 –> 00:19:29,700
We apply to so many banks
to have a peace of mind

250
00:19:29,701 –> 00:19:34,240
and for this transaction to succeed.

251
00:19:34,240 –> 00:19:39,671
The bank can refuse to issue a credit
without providing a reason.

252
00:19:39,672 –> 00:19:44,839
It’s better to have credit applications
submitted and let them process,

253
00:19:44,840 –> 00:19:48,843
as it takes sometimes 3 weeks
or even one and a half month,

254
00:19:48,844 –> 00:19:54,986
depending on a bank,
because if a given bank has a super offer,

255
00:19:54,987 –> 00:20:01,570
a lot of people apply for their loan
and this process can take more time.

256
00:20:01,600 –> 00:20:05,770
I can point out the bank
which will give credit quickly.

257
00:20:05,800 –> 00:20:10,800
So, if we have 3 banks, the first one
will give us a positive decision,

258
00:20:10,801 –> 00:20:14,800
then we have an inner peace
that we have one decision,

259
00:20:14,801 –> 00:20:17,743
but we wait for the remaining ones.

260
00:20:17,744 –> 00:20:21,243
If we have time,
because when we sign a contract,

261
00:20:21,244 –> 00:20:25,420
there’s a certain time to pay
a seller for this property.

262
00:20:25,440 –> 00:20:30,879
So, first of all – we have peace of mind
by submitting several requests.

263
00:20:30,880 –> 00:20:34,871
Sometimes a bank
allows for terms negotiations.

264
00:20:34,872 –> 00:20:37,770
Unfortunately, not in all of them.

265
00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:41,460
If a particular bank
has a really good offer,

266
00:20:41,480 –> 00:20:46,000
we’re no longer able
to negotiate anything there,

267
00:20:46,000 –> 00:20:52,700
as the bank has so many applications
that if someone is unsatisfied with terms,

268
00:20:52,701 –> 00:20:55,529
he or she doesn’t get a credit there.

269
00:20:55,530 –> 00:20:59,700
But there are banks in which
such negotiations be conducted.

270
00:20:59,720 –> 00:21:03,386
I can confirm this,
because a few months ago

271
00:21:03,387 –> 00:21:06,786
we submitted my applications to 2 banks.

272
00:21:06,787 –> 00:21:11,829
I had a big own contribution,
so I was sure of succeeding.

273
00:21:11,830 –> 00:21:16,143
One rejected without reason
and the other confirmed.

274
00:21:16,144 –> 00:21:21,328
If we had applied to only one bank,
we’d have had a problem.

275
00:21:21,329 –> 00:21:23,571
So, you should always try.

276
00:21:23,572 –> 00:21:27,500
Many people may be wondering
about the fact that

277
00:21:27,501 –> 00:21:32,014
they’re not married,
but they live together,

278
00:21:32,015 –> 00:21:36,810
having a girlfriend, a boyfriend,
fiancé or fiancée.

279
00:21:36,840 –> 00:21:41,519
Is it possible to get credit
for two people in such a case?

280
00:21:41,520 –> 00:21:45,660
Bank doesn’t care about marriage so much.

281
00:21:45,680 –> 00:21:52,159
First of all, these people must have
a solvency to take out this mortgage.

282
00:21:52,160 –> 00:21:55,943
Thus, if you’re not in
a formal relationship,

283
00:21:55,944 –> 00:21:58,629
you can both apply for a credit.

284
00:21:58,630 –> 00:22:01,886
– Solvency is calculated together?
– Of course.

285
00:22:01,887 –> 00:22:05,614
However, some banks
count it as 2 households.

286
00:22:05,615 –> 00:22:12,443
I know which banks to choose,
because if a bank counts it like that,

287
00:22:12,444 –> 00:22:17,014
it calculates bigger cost of living.

288
00:22:17,015 –> 00:22:22,157
So, it’s also important
when it comes to a solvency.

289
00:22:22,158 –> 00:22:25,900
– But we should try in various ways.
– Yes.

290
00:22:25,920 –> 00:22:31,713
Many people may be afraid of
going to a financial advisor,

291
00:22:31,714 –> 00:22:35,914
as they don’t know how does he work,
on what basis.

292
00:22:35,915 –> 00:22:40,043
They think of going to a bank,
ask and save money,

293
00:22:40,044 –> 00:22:43,942
as I don’t want to pay
a commission to him.

294
00:22:43,943 –> 00:22:47,460
Do you charge people for your help?

295
00:22:47,480 –> 00:22:51,386
My services to the client are
free of charge,

296
00:22:51,387 –> 00:22:58,290
so on the first or last meeting
I won’t issue you any invoice.

297
00:22:58,320 –> 00:23:05,570
I’m rewarded for the effect,
that is, if you apply for a mortgage loan

298
00:23:05,571 –> 00:23:12,014
and the credit will be paid,
I get a part of a pay from a bank.

299
00:23:12,015 –> 00:23:16,029
Maybe not directly,
but that’s how I’m rewarded

300
00:23:16,030 –> 00:23:19,559
by a financial institution for the effect.

301
00:23:19,560 –> 00:23:23,879
I don’t know if you’ve seen
the mortgage loan ads recently.

302
00:23:23,880 –> 00:23:28,420
Banks don’t advertise in media
anymore, as it’s expensive.

303
00:23:28,440 –> 00:23:35,643
They prefer to pay the agent.
That’s the cheapest way to get a customer.

304
00:23:35,644 –> 00:23:40,271
I just do the work of a bank employee.

305
00:23:40,272 –> 00:23:45,614
Bank already receives
a complete application to analyze.

306
00:23:45,615 –> 00:23:49,371
So, they reward me for my job.

307
00:23:49,372 –> 00:23:54,600
Client simply needs to
fill and sign an application,

308
00:23:54,601 –> 00:23:59,540
while the rest of the work
is being done by me.

309
00:23:59,560 –> 00:24:07,186
So, even if you don’t know how to start,
come to a meeting with me

310
00:24:07,187 –> 00:24:14,359
and I’ll explain everything
from the first meeting to the last one.

311
00:24:14,360 –> 00:24:16,570
There’s even no risk.

312
00:24:16,600 –> 00:24:20,380
You know, if you hold back
some information,

313
00:24:20,400 –> 00:24:25,586
like you had credits in the past
and didn’t pay them on time,

314
00:24:25,587 –> 00:24:29,900
and you don’t tell me,
you may not get this loan.

315
00:24:29,920 –> 00:24:36,771
However, there are some customers
who actually had bad credit history,

316
00:24:36,772 –> 00:24:41,657
but if it was a long time ago,
they still have a chance.

317
00:24:41,658 –> 00:24:46,157
There are banks
which will give you a mortgage loan.

318
00:24:46,158 –> 00:24:53,000
I’m with you from the first meeting
up until signing a credit contract.

319
00:24:53,001 –> 00:24:57,086
I’m present on contract signings,
as I think that

320
00:24:57,087 –> 00:25:01,899
the client feels more confident
when the advisor is with him

321
00:25:01,900 –> 00:25:03,957
from start to finish.

322
00:25:03,958 –> 00:25:08,029
I’m with client also up until
a loan disbursement.

323
00:25:08,030 –> 00:25:13,371
What’s more, I can help even after
granting a credit.

324
00:25:13,372 –> 00:25:20,639
Like with a property insurance,
which is required by the banks.

325
00:25:20,640 –> 00:25:26,980
And, above all,
I’m a supporter of a life insurance.

326
00:25:27,000 –> 00:25:31,229
Mortgage loans are not
a sum of 1,000 or 2,000 USD,

327
00:25:31,230 –> 00:25:34,271
but more than 50,000 USD.

328
00:25:34,272 –> 00:25:40,757
If there’s a marriage with children
and one person will be gone,

329
00:25:40,758 –> 00:25:43,100
then there’s a problem.

330
00:25:43,101 –> 00:25:47,171
So, I think that when
such an amount is at stake,

331
00:25:47,172 –> 00:25:50,971
we should obligatorily have
a life insurance.

332
00:25:50,972 –> 00:25:56,929
I also do this – so that you have
in one place information

333
00:25:56,930 –> 00:26:02,029
and activities related to it
which should be done.

334
00:26:02,030 –> 00:26:06,443
You don’t need to visit banks
and waste your time.

335
00:26:06,444 –> 00:26:09,214
Be welcome to visit me.

336
00:26:09,215 –> 00:26:14,759
– To sum up, all it takes is to act.
– And not be afraid. Do the first step.

337
00:26:14,760 –> 00:26:19,757
Many people are afraid of it.
One needs to make some effort,

338
00:26:19,758 –> 00:26:25,129
but he or she can do it
with the help of your expertise.

339
00:26:25,130 –> 00:26:29,886
Yes. Although banks often make changes.

340
00:26:29,887 –> 00:26:36,119
I have a constant access to info
about situation and current bank offers.

341
00:26:36,120 –> 00:26:40,330
It often happens that
we submit the applications

342
00:26:40,360 –> 00:26:43,914
and some new offer appeares.

343
00:26:43,915 –> 00:26:45,900
So, we do it again.

344
00:26:45,901 –> 00:26:51,457
We did it, as lending rate changed,
so we wanted to economize on it.

345
00:26:51,458 –> 00:26:53,714
We changed the application.

346
00:26:53,715 –> 00:26:57,443
I think that you won’t be able to
handle it yourself.

347
00:26:57,444 –> 00:27:01,643
I get such info on a regular basis
and if there’s a change

348
00:27:01,644 –> 00:27:05,086
in favor of my client,
I’m on his or her side.

349
00:27:05,087 –> 00:27:08,229
Even though I represent
over a dozen banks,

350
00:27:08,230 –> 00:27:10,971
I’m always on the client’s side.

351
00:27:10,972 –> 00:27:15,971
I want you to get the best credit
on the best terms,

352
00:27:15,972 –> 00:27:20,857
because if you’ll be properly served
and get a good credit,

353
00:27:20,858 –> 00:27:24,457
then I hope
you will recommend me further –

354
00:27:24,458 –> 00:27:27,057
that’s how this business works.

355
00:27:27,058 –> 00:27:32,039
In other case, I wouldn’t be sitting
here and work in it for 11 years.

356
00:27:32,040 –> 00:27:36,271
As a satisfied customer,
I can recommend you, Tomek.

357
00:27:36,272 –> 00:27:39,643
– I hope you’ll use his services.
– Be welcome.

358
00:27:39,644 –> 00:27:44,780
The links for getting in touch
with him are below this video.

359
00:27:44,800 –> 00:27:48,614
– Go for a meeting.
– For a fine cup of coffee.

360
00:27:48,615 –> 00:27:52,129
You’ll find out
how your situation looks like.

361
00:27:52,130 –> 00:27:56,629
Tomek will guide you step by step
through the entire process.

362
00:27:56,630 –> 00:28:01,740
If it will be possible to get
a mortgage loan, you will surely get one.

363
00:28:01,760 –> 00:28:06,119
– That’s right.
– We ended our interview on a good note.

364
00:28:06,120 –> 00:28:09,156
– Thanks a lot.
– Thank you too.

365
00:28:09,157 –> 00:28:11,443
Maybe we’ll do more videos.

366
00:28:11,444 –> 00:28:15,586
Write down your questions below.
Tomek will answer on them.

367
00:28:15,587 –> 00:28:20,799
– I invite you to meet Tomek.
– I invite you to get a next loan, Tomek.

368
00:28:20,800 –> 00:28:23,057
I’m sure there will be more.

369
00:28:23,058 –> 00:28:25,843
– Thanks a lot.
– Thank you. Take care.

370
00:28:25,844 –> 00:28:27,986
– Bye!
– Thanks again.
