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.

What are the qualifying guidelines for the particular loan? These might relate to your income, employment, assets and liabilities, and credit history.

Property Taxes These are taxes paid to local governments, usually charged as a percentage of the property value. Your lender collects the taxes through your monthly payments. The amount of tax will vary depending on the location of the home.

The loan is called a reverse mortgage because the direction of payments is reversed - the lender pays the borrower rather than the other way around. The borrower can receive the funds in their choice of a lump sum payment, line of credit, monthly payments for as long as they live in the home, or any combination of these choices. Some programs offer monthly payments for a specific period of time, while others can be combined with an annuity to offer monthly payments for life, no matter where you live. The borrower can remain in the home for the rest of their life should they choose to do so. No repayment is required until the borrower permanently vacates the home.

What does it mean to have 0 points or 1 point or 2 points? A point is one percentage of the loan amount. Lenders offer rates which may be lower but require paying points. A rate of 7.875% with 1 point for a loan of $100,000 would require the borrower to pay a total of $1000 to the lender upon settlement of the loan. A rate of 8.000% with 0 points will require no payment to the lender, but the interest rate is slightly higher. Points will lower rates and are of benefit if you have some cash for the down payment and can therefore lower the rate. You should intend to keep the loan for its full term.

Cash-out refinancing differs from a home equity loan in a couple of ways. First, a home equity loan is a separate loan on top of your first mortgage; a cash-out refi is a replacement of your first mortgage. Second, the interest rate on a cash-out refinancing is usually, but not always, lower than the interest rate on a home equity loan.

In the olden days, when someone wanted a home loan they walked downtown to the neighborhood bank or savings & loan. If the bank had extra funds laying around and considered you a good credit risk, they would lend you the money from their own funds.

With interest-only mortgages, as the name suggests, each monthly repayment pays off some of the interest on the loan, but none of the capital. The idea is that, alongside your mortgage, you set up an investment vehicle into which you pay a regular sum with a view to building up a large enough investment to pay off the capital on your mortgage.

Home equity line of credit (HELOC):

Loan Payoff Is my principal balance the amount needed to pay my loan in full? No. The amount needed to pay your loan in full could also include interest, escrow advances, unpaid late charges, or other fees due on the loan. You must request a payoff statement to determine the exact amount needed to pay your loan in full.
