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.

They will often pay more compensation to their loan officers for originating a portfolio product than for originating a fixed rate loan. You may also find that they are not as competitive as mortgage bankers and brokers in the fixed rate loan market, though this is no longer a hard and fast rule.

Property Insurance Why do I need insurance on my property?

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.

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.

Check to see if your credit line has a pre-payment penalty clause Many NO FEE credit lines have a pre-payment penalty clause, which can be very expensive if you are planning to sell or refinance your home in the next three to five years.

Here are two calculators you can use to determine the maximum monthly mortgage payment you can afford -- the total debt to income ratio calculator and the housing to income ratio calculator.

What is the APR? To protect the public, congress decided that a more precise measure of the true cost of a mortgage loan was needed. The concept of the annual percentage rate (APR) was developed to more accurately reflect this cost factor. The APR represents not only the rate of interest charged on the loan but certain other pre-paid finance charges. These costs are expressed in terms of percent and may include, among other costs, the following: origination fees, loan discount points, private mortgage insurance premiums, and the estimated interest pro-rated from the closing date to the end of the month.

Why are Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit so popular? Because home equity loans and lines of credit are secured by your home, there are three distinct advantages over other types of loans: lower interest rates, tax deductible interest (consult your tax advisor) and large loan amounts. Based on your personal financial situation, you may be able to borrow up to 100% of your available home equity.

Modification - This is an actual changing of one or more of your loan terms; for example, the term of the loan or the interest rate. 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.

15, 30 Year FHA Programs An FHA mortgage loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (a division of the (HUD)). Although mortgage lenders provide the mortgage funds, the FHA sets underwriting standards for approving applicants. In many cases, FHA underwriting guidelines are more lenient than conventional (not government insured or guaranteed) underwriting guidelines. This leniency makes it easier for borrowers to qualify for a mortgage loan (low down payment requirements and a higher monthly debt allowance). FHA limits the types of loan programs it insures, but it will insure the more popular 30 year fixed, 15 year fixed and one year adjustable loan programs. However, borrowers are limited to the amount that they can borrow using an FHA-insured mortgage. Applicable loan limits differ by county, so contact your local HUD office or The Mortgage Expert for specifics.

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.

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