Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) A lender will require you to purchase mortgage insurance if you make a down payment of less than 20% of the market value of the home. There are different types of insurance available which often affect the type of mortgage loans you obtain. 1. Conventional Mortgages 2. FHA Mortgages 3. VA Mortgages

Example: If you make $5000 a month, with 33/38 qualifying ratio guidelines, your maximum monthly housing cost should be around $1650. Including your consumer debt, your monthly housing and credit expenditures should be around $1900 as a maximum

Once you have calculated your monthly income, multiply it by the back ratio for your particular loan. For generic purposes, it is fairly easy to work with thirty-eight. Take 38% of your monthly income or multiply it by .38. That tells you the maximum the lender wants you to spend on your housing costs and monthly consumer debt combined.

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.

If interest rates are trending up, it makes sense to lock in your rate. If interest rates are trending down, it makes sense to float your interest rate so that you can take advantage of a shorter lock-in period. When rates are fairly stable, it also makes sense to float your loan to take advantage of a lower price for a shorter lock-in.
