How Much House Can You Afford? Debt-to-Income Ratios To determine your maximum mortgage amount, lenders use guidelines called debt-to-income ratios. This is simply the percentage of your monthly gross income (before taxes) that is used to pay your monthly debts. Because there are two calculations, there is a front ratio and a back ratio and they are generally written in the following format: 33/38.

Are there any penalties to refinance my no-cost loan in the future? There are no prepayment penalties of any kind. This allows you to take advantage of any future rate declines by refinancing at no cost again.

Review your credit history to optimize your borrowing ability. Be sure that the information in your credit report is accurate. Inaccuracies or damage done by credit or identity fraud can seriously impact your credit rating and eligibility for the best mortgage loan programs.

How do I know which type of mortgage is best for me? Since some mortgage options are less conservative than others, it is important to determine if you are a “risk-taker” or if you prefer more stability in your financial dealings.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS): Payments increase or decrease on a regular schedule with changes in interest rates; increases subject to limits Types: Balloon Mortgage: Offers very low rates for an initial period of time (usually 5, 7, or 10 years); when time has elapsed, the balance is due or refinanced (though not automatically) Two-Step Mortgage: Interest rate adjusts only once and remains the same for the life of the loan ARMS linked to a specific index or margin Advantages: Generally offer lower initial interest rates Monthly payments can be lower May allow borrower to qualify for a larger loan amount

Private Mortgage Insurance also enables mortgage companies to grant loans that would otherwise be considered too risky to be purchased by third party investors like the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). The ability to sell loans to these investors is critical to maintaining mortgage market liquidity, which in turn, allows mortgage companies to continue originating new loans.

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.

When will my escrow account be analyzed? Usually, your escrow account will be analyzed once each year, and your new monthly payment will be effective on the anniversary of your first payment due date. You will receive your Annual Escrow Analysis and a new supply of payment coupons during the month before the effective date of your new payment.

Your loan choices include such varied programs as conventional fixed rate loans, adjustable rate mortgages, buydowns, VA, FHA, graduated payment mortgages and all the varieties of each.

If you are self-employed or receive 1099 income, then you need a two-year track record. Lenders go by what you declare to the IRS as income, since that is documentable. Since some self-employed people overstate their expenses, this may understate your income. Look at the Schedule C of your tax returns for the last two years and the number at the bottom that says profit is your annual income. You can add any depreciation to that figure. Add them together and divide by twenty-four.

Your credit history Each borrower has a credit history report that is filed with the Credit Bureau. Lenders receive a copy of your credit history in the loan application process in order to determine your willingness to pay as a borrower. This assessment depends on your credit record, ie. if you have been late on your various payment obligations.

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.

Social Security benefits If you derive a portion of your income from social security benefits, you should provide the most recent Social Security Award Letter indicating the amount of your current monthly payments from social security.

When to Refinance

Correspondents Correspondent is usually a term that refers to a company which originates and closes home loans in their own name, then instead of selling those loans in pools, they sell them individually to a larger lender, called a sponsor. The sponsor acts as the mortgage banker, re-selling the loan to Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac as part of a pool.
