Adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) products:

Mortgage brokers also learn the hot points of various wholesale lenders and can handpick the lender for a borrower which may be unique in some way. He will be able to submit your loan to either a portfolio lender or a mortgage banker. Another advantage is that, if a loan gets declined for some reason, they can simply repackage the loan and submit it to another wholesale lender.

The Final Step - Almost Now you have to go to a mortgage calculator (click here) and plug in some numbers. In the payment area, put the figure you just calculated. Plug in the current fixed interest rate. If you are putting less than twenty percent down, add a half percent to the rate to allow for charges you will pay for mortgage insurance. Hit the calculate button and you should have your maximum mortgage amount. Add your down payment and you know your maximum purchase price.

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.

Below is a sample of one section of a rate sheet for thirty-year fixed rate loans. Rate Cost . . . 6.250% 2.000 6.375% 1.500 6.500% 1.000 6.625% 0.500 6.750% 0.000 6.875% (.500) 7.000% (1.000) 7.125% (1.500) 7.250% (1.875) 7.375% (2.125) 7.500% (2.375) The rate sheet shows the interest rate and the cost to the loan officer, expressed in points. One point is equal to one percent of the loan.

In our example, at 7.125% the loan officer and branch would earn one point and have some money left over. This could be used to pay some of the fees (processing, documents, etc), which is how you get a no fees -no points mortgage. You just pay a higher interest rate.

Pre Foreclosure Sale - It is also called a short payoff. If you have a financial hardship, you may be allowed to sell your home for a fair market value even if the proceeds of the sale will not be sufficient to pay the loan in full. The shortage may be absorbed by us, the mortgage insurer, the investor or you may be required to pay some or all of the shortage over time. Detailed financial information and proof of hardship caused by circumstances beyond your control will be required for this option to be considered and may not be available on all mortgage types.

If you choose to convert to a fixed interest rate, the conversion rate may be higher than your adjustable rate, and slightly higher than the current market rate for new fixed rate loans. However, the cost to convert your ARM to a fixed rate loan is usually substantially lower than the cost of refinancing.

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.

You have to look at it from the point of view of your old lender and your new lender, Lepre says: Both lenders are entitled to earn interest from the day they lend the money until the day they receive final payment. In a refinancing transaction, the new lender funds the loan by wiring money to the bank of the escrow agent or attorney who is responsible for disbursing the money. As soon as the new lender sends that money, the clock starts ticking and you pay interest.
