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

Most lenders want to see 24 months of on-time mortgage payments in order to approve a best credit loan. So, if you get that 2/28 loan with a two-year prepayment penalty, you can pay the higher interest rate, rebuild your credit, and refinance for a better interest rate at the end of two years.

Reverse Mortgages

Essentially, the amount of money you can borrow will be determined by the size of the monthly payment you can afford. As a general rule, lenders do not allow the monthly payment to exceed 25% to 33% of gross monthly income. Other lenders have more flexible debt-to-income ratios.

Prior to closing, be sure to inquire if the lender requires an escrow account set up for the payment of the real estate taxes and homeowners insurance. Some lenders will waive the escrow requirements if the down payment is above a certain limit. Depending on when you close and when real estate taxes are paid in your jurisdiction, the cash required to set up the real estate tax escrow could represent one-half to three-quarters of the annual real estate tax bill.

Hazard Insurance This is a contract that protects you from any financial losses on your property that might result from fire, flood, or any other hazards.

Can I cancel my mortgage insurance? If you have an FHA loan - FHA mortgage insurance protects the investor who owns the loan in the event of default. One reason investors may choose to purchase FHA loans is because of this protection. They know the mortgage agreement is written to allow this insurance to be maintained for the life of the loan, and expect this insurance protection until the loan is paid in full. Therefore, we must continue to collect and remit premiums to FHA as required to maintain this insurance. There may be some circumstances where premiums can be discontinued prior to the maturity of your loan.

Credit Unions - Credit Unions usually seem to operate as correspondents, although a large one could act as a portfolio lender or a mortgage banker.
