New York has long been on the "must visit destinations" list for much of the world's population. It is no great surprise why, being amongst the best cities mankind has created.

From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty, the eponymous Empire State Building to the ill fated World Trade Center and a million and one other sites, visitors have long been invited to take a massive bite from the Big Apple.

For some however, the vibe is just too good, too enthralling, and the decision to make a life here and become a real life New Yorker is too much to resist.

While many live in the bustling apartment blocks of New York itself, many also find homes across the state.

As such, property prices across the wonderful state we know as Empire are always strong, no matter the global economy. From Connecticut to New Jersey, homes hold their price remarkably well.

This is of course great for residents, but a little harsh on those looking to make a move into the most vibrant of US states.

Though the dream for many is to secure a windfall, or indeed a job where deposits on a house and even complete payment can be made in full, this reality is regrettably not for most. As such, a mortgage is the only way forward. Here again though, there are problems.

Where once getting funding in real estate was relatively straight forward and easy, much the same can no longer be said.

However, there are ways where funding can be secured, and preferable rates can be sourced if you know how to go about things the right way. Here again though, there are problems for most.

Finance and all their related products is a heck of a confusing business.

From annuities to insurance policies, there are traps and pitfalls just waiting to catch the unwary out.

When looking for a decent mortgage to make that start in New York, the worst thing that can happen is to get stung by the small print, and find repayments costing a hell of a lot more than they should otherwise be.

It is for this reason that it is only sensible to seek the assistance of a good, decent and reliable licensed mortgage banker.

Further than this, looking for an organization or an individual that has local knowledge of the New York State area and all towns and cities within it will be important.

While many businesses across various industries can span states; you cannot beat familiarity with real estate.

A mortgage banker has an immense of information available to them; most likely with contacts throughout the trade. All of this knowledge allows them to be best placed to find what are the best deals available, how to get them and what is required.

While a fee is charged, their knowledge and expertise in the market and industry should represent a significant saving on initial payments, and ongoing payments. With likely contacts throughout the likes of Fannie Mae, possibly extending as far as the individual broker having once been under the employ of them, a good service should be guaranteed.

Naturally however, due care and attention is needed when looking at this route. As with anything in life, there are charlatans, con artists and generally nasty individuals looking to take advantage of any given situation. When such high stakes as expensive mortgages are concerned, the threat is heightened of course.

This does not mean that a mortgage broker/banker should not be sought however, far from it. All it means is that when looking on the internet and the like, that a good deal of research be undertaken, such as viewing testimonials from previous customers for example. Also, interviews should be arranged with all likely brokers, questions asked of them, and their experience challenged.

Any reputable professional should be only to happen to answer any questions asked of them. Further than this in fact, many will have already prepared information and references for you to check. Here too there needs to be caution however; if everything is already prepared it may be worth while considering why this should be.

Having made a decision over which New York, New Jersey or Connecticut mortgage broker/banker to go with, it is essential that they are given as much as relevant information as possible. This will include details of financing available of course, but should also extend to what is required of suitable properties and, just as important what is not required. All factors will contribute to deals and packages which could possibly be found.
