The front ratio is the percentage of your monthly gross income (before taxes) that is used to pay your housing costs, including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance (when applicable) and homeowners association fees (when applicable). The back ratio is the same thing, only it also includes your monthly consumer debt. Consumer debt can be car payments, credit card debt, installment loans, and similar related expenses. Auto or life insurance is not considered a debt.

Pre-Approving Your Loan

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.

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.

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.

Property Insurance Why do I need insurance on my property?

Or they could refinance the $88,400 at a cost of $573.36 a month, then take out a $20,000 home equity loan at 9 percent for 20 years. That would cost $179.95 a month. Added together, they would pay $753.31 a month for 20 years, then $573.36 a month for the last 10 years. Total cost over 30 years: $249,597.60.

Title Charges A title is the document that shows who owns a property. It is necessary for an attorney to examine a title to make sure there are no problems that would prevent you from having clear (legal) title. It is also necessary to get title insurance in case someone else should try to claim title to your property. Fees for title examination and title insurance will be included in the closing costs.

As Greenspan spoke to the Congressional committee, Iraq announced that it would let in weapons inspectors and disarm. Stock prices and bond yields immediately spiked upward. If bond yields continue the upward trajectory, mortgage rates will rise, too.

Loan Amortization

Quoting Rates to You Before quoting you an interest rate, the loan officer will add on how much he and his branch want to earn. The branch or company sets a policy on how little that can be (the minimum amount the loan officer adds on to his cost) but does not want to overcharge borrowers either (so they set a maximum the loan officer can charge) Between that minimum and maximum, the loan officer has a great deal of flexibility.

Different Than a Home Equity Loan A reverse mortgage is different from a home equity loan or line of credit, which many banks and thrifts offer. With a home equity loan or line of credit, an applicant must meet certain income and credit requirements, begin monthly repayments immediately, and the home can have an existing first mortgage on it. In addition, there is no restriction on the age of borrowers.

Step Three - a Little Guesswork The next step requires a little guesswork. If you have a vague idea of what price you might qualify for, you can estimate what your annual property taxes and homeowners insurance might cost. From there, you can easily calculate the monthly equivalent. Subtract those figures from your maximum monthly housing costs total.

The guidelines are just guidelines and they are flexible. If you make a small down payment, the guidelines are more rigid. If you have marginal credit, the guidelines are more rigid. If you make a larger down payment or have sterling credit, the guidelines are less rigid. The guidelines also vary according to loan program. FHA guidelines state that a 29/41 qualifying ratio is acceptable. VA guidelines do not have a front ratio at all, but the guideline for the back ratio is 41.
