Assumptions An assumption takes place when the buyer of a property accepts responsibility for the repayment of an existing loan, with no change in terms, rather than obtaining a new mortgage. Whether or not a loan can be assumed, and the conditions under which it can be assumed, are outlined in the loan documents. These terms generally fall under one of three categories:

What Happens If Interest Rates Decrease And I Have A Fixed Rate Loan?

Are there any penalties to refinance my no-cost loan in the future? There are no prepayment penalties of any kind. This allows you to take advantage of any future rate declines by refinancing at no cost again.

15, 30 Year Jumbo Programs A jumbo mortgage is a mortgage loan which is larger than the limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($240,000 as of 1/1/99). Since these two agencies will not purchase these types of loans, they usually carry a higher interest rate (to enhance their value and marketability to investors).

Foreclosure

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.

Two major agencies—the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or Freddie Mac—can purchase conforming loans. For lenders who sell their loans after they are closed, there is an extremely liquid market. But the availability of potential buyers is reduced greatly when the loan amount goes above the conforming limit. To attract enough buyers for these loans, a lender often increases the rate on non-conforming loans. The conforming loan limit is adjusted annually at year-end by FNMA and FHLMC. Some lenders also have their own guidelines for dollar differentiation between conforming and non-conforming loans.

Is there a prepayment penalty on the loan? Ask about the duration of any penalty period and how the fee would be calculated. This is important if you think you will sell your home before the mortgage is paid off, which most homeowners do.

One additional advantage is that mortgage brokers tend to attract a high number of the most qualified loan officers. This is not universal, because mortgage brokers also serve as the training ground for those just entering the business. If you have a new loan officer and there is something unique about you or the property you are buying, there could be a problem on the horizon that an experienced loan officer would have anticipated.
