Which mortgage is best for me?

You should also make sure your agent sends us proof of the new coverage promptly after you change companies. If we do not receive this information by the time your old policy expires, we may think the property is uninsured, and request lender-placed insurance to cover your home.

WHOLESALE LENDERS Borrowers cannot get access to the wholesale divisions of mortgage bankers and portfolio lenders without going through a broker.

With the latter option, they might struggle with higher payments for 20 years, just to save less than $4,000 over 30 years. Which option they take is a matter of personal preference.

Balloon Programs A balloon mortgage loan is a type of mortgage loan that has a short term (typically 5 or 7 years), but the monthly payment is computed using a 30 year term. When a borrower uses a balloon loan, he/she will make the monthly payment for the scheduled loan term (5 or 7 years). When this loan term is over, the borrower is required to pay off the remaining balance in one lump-sum payment. If the borrower decides not to sell the property after the loan term is over, the borrower has the option to refinance the mortgage with a new one. A 7/23 balloon mortgage gives the borrower the option to convert to a fixed rate program (for a nominal fee) after the initial term (7 years) is over. If the conversion feature is used, the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan (23 years) will be adjusted once to reflect market conditions, then remain fixed for the remainder of the loan term.

Start by taking a careful look at your current assets (including income, savings, investments, IRAs, life insurance, pensions and corporate thrift plans, and equity in other real estate, etc.) and liabilities (including outstanding loans, credit card balances, etc.). Also, think about how your income—or household income, if there are two wage earners in the family—might change over the next several years.

What does the application consist of? The typical application is basically an outline of who you are, the property you want to buy or refinance, and your financial assets and liabilities.

15, 30 Year FHA Programs An FHA mortgage loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (a division of the (HUD)). Although mortgage lenders provide the mortgage funds, the FHA sets underwriting standards for approving applicants. In many cases, FHA underwriting guidelines are more lenient than conventional (not government insured or guaranteed) underwriting guidelines. This leniency makes it easier for borrowers to qualify for a mortgage loan (low down payment requirements and a higher monthly debt allowance). FHA limits the types of loan programs it insures, but it will insure the more popular 30 year fixed, 15 year fixed and one year adjustable loan programs. However, borrowers are limited to the amount that they can borrow using an FHA-insured mortgage. Applicable loan limits differ by county, so contact your local HUD office or The Mortgage Expert for specifics.

15, 30 Year Jumbo Programs A jumbo mortgage is a mortgage loan which is larger than the limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($240,000 as of 1/1/99). Since these two agencies will not purchase these types of loans, they usually carry a higher interest rate (to enhance their value and marketability to investors).

The Advantages of Different Types of Mortgage Lenders, continued..

For example, if more new jobs were created in the previous month than the prognosticators expected, that could indicate the economy is speeding up faster than expected, which could be inflationary. Interest rate markets fear inflation. The day new employment figures are announced (the first Friday of each month) rates could swing wildly to the up side. A few days later the Purchasing Managers Index might show a smaller number than expected and rates will fall again.

These wholesale divisions offer loans to mortgage brokers at a lower cost than their retail branches offer them to the general public. The mortgage broker then adds on his fee. The result for the borrower is that the loan costs about the same as if he obtained a loan directly from a retail branch of the wholesale lender.

Private Mortgage Insurance What is it? Private Mortgage Insurance is a type of insurance that helps protect the mortgage company against losses due to foreclosure for conventional loans. This protection is provided by private mortgage insurance companies and allows mortgage companies to accept lower down payments than would normally be allowed.
