Rated 5.0 We were so happy with Dance class. Along with dance kids also learn about Hindu mythology and sloaks. Highly recommended Natyanjali School - Indian classical dance classes

Rated 5.0 Being a student of Ms. Malini is a privilege. I was very apprehensive when I tried out a class with Ms. Malini but when I finished the class I was even more inspired and motivated to take up Bharatanatyam lessons. I’m probably Ms. Malini’s oldest student and I absolutely love that fact! She’s a wonderful teacher and guide. More power to her ???.

Rated 5.0 I have known about Malini and her dance school for years. It is an incredible amazing institution run by Malini as one of the best schools whose performances produced as very eye catching and pleasant. The director Malini is not only high class with her students but very pleasing. Hope it would continue for a long time in the LA area

Frequently Asked Questions - Natyanjali School Of Dance

    • 1. What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

      Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on the information you provide. For example, you might say your income is $100,000, and we may estimate that you could qualify for around $400,000. It is not a commitment. Pre-approval is a formal process where we verify your income, assets, and credit. Based on this, we issue a pre-approval letter that sellers take seriously. Always get pre-approved before house hunting.

    • 2. How much down payment do I need?

      It varies by loan type: VA loans: 0% down (if you qualify as a veteran or active duty). USDA loans: 0% down (for eligible rural/suburban areas). FHA loans: 3.5% down minimum. Conventional loans: 5-20% down (20% avoids private mortgage insurance (PMI)). Jumbo loans: 10-20% down.

    • 3. What is private mortgage insurance (PMI) and can I avoid it?

      PMI protects the lender if you default on your loan. It is required on conventional loans with less than 20% down. PMI is added to your monthly payment (typically 50−200/month). You can avoid PMI by: (a) putting 20% down, (b) using a VA or USDA loan (no PMI), or (c) using a lender-paid PMI loan (higher interest rate instead of PMI). PMI automatically drops off when your loan-to-value (LTV) reaches 78% (based on original value).

    • 4. What is the difference between interest rate and APR?

      Interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal (the loan amount). APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes the interest rate plus other costs (points, fees, mortgage insurance, etc.). APR is a more accurate comparison tool. Example: Loan A has 4.0% interest and 4.2% APR. Loan B has 4.0% interest and 4.5% APR. Loan A is cheaper because the fees are lower. Always compare APR, not just interest rate.

    • 5. How does my credit score affect my mortgage rate?

      Higher credit scores = lower interest rates. General tiers (for conventional loans): 760+ : Best rates 740-759 : Very good rates 720-739 : Good rates 700-719 : Average rates 660-699 : Fair rates (higher interest, may require larger down payment) 620-659 : Poor rates (may only qualify for FHA) Below 620 : May not qualify for conventional (but may qualify for FHA with 10% down).

    • 6. How long does the mortgage process take?

      Pre-approval: 1-3 days. Loan application to closing: Typically 30 days. For well-qualified borrowers, we have closed in as few as 14 days. For complex loans (self-employed, jumbo, renovation), allow 45-60 days.

    • 7. What documents do I need for a mortgage application?

      Last 2 years of W-2s (or tax returns if self-employed) Last 30 days of pay stubs Last 2 months of bank statements (all pages) ID (driver's license, passport) If you receive gifts for down payment: gift letter from the donor + their bank statement showing the funds.

    • 8. Can I buy a home if I am self-employed?

      Yes. You will need to provide: (a) Last 2 years of personal and business tax returns (all schedules). (b) A profit and loss statement (YTD). (c) A letter from your CPA confirming your business is active. (d) Bank statements (business and personal). Lenders use your average net income from the last 2 years (not your gross revenue). Self-employed borrowers often need larger down payments (10-20%) and higher credit scores (680+). We have experience with self-employed borrowers.

    • 9. What are closing costs and how much are they?

      Closing costs are fees paid at closing (separate from your down payment). They typically include: origination fee, appraisal fee, credit report fee, title insurance, attorney fees, recording fees, and prepaid taxes and insurance. Closing costs usually range from 2–5% of the loan amount. Example: A $300,000 loan may have $6,000–$15,000 in closing costs. You can often negotiate for the seller to cover part of these costs (especially in a buyer’s market). You may also choose to roll the closing costs into your loan—but this will increase your loan balance and the total interest you pay over time.

    • 10. What is a rate lock? Should I lock my rate?

      A rate lock guarantees a specific interest rate for a specific period (usually 30-60 days). If rates go up, your locked rate does not. If rates go down, you are stuck with the higher locked rate (unless you pay a fee to "float down"). When to lock: If you are comfortable with the current rate and do not want to risk rates increasing. When to float: If you believe rates are going to drop in the next few weeks (risky). We advise you based on market conditions. Most borrowers lock their rate when they have an accepted offer (30-45 days before closing).
