current mortgage rates - Iowa IA: Loans & Mortgages :: Refinancing :: Bad credit loans :: First time buyers home loans :: Advice on the best loan for you :: Mortgage advisor. Do you invest in the stock market? Or put money into Certificates of Deposit? These are two different ways of handling money. Depending on your answers to these questions, and others that may be asked by your lender, you will be able to choose the mortgage that is right for you. Fixed Rate LoanAs stated above, both PMI and FHA Mortgage Insurance protect the investor who owns the loan in the event of a default on the loan. These types of mortgage insurance do not pay off the loan on your behalf if something should happen to you. For information on optional insurance which could pay off your loan or make your monthly payments if something happens to you, please refer to Optional Products. If I pay thousands in points and fees, would my rate be lower? Yes. However, it would also take years to break even on your fees. Paying costs assumes rates will never get better and you will never refinance or move. With No Cost loans you pay nothing, so you are free to take advantage of any future drops in interest rates. If you invest what you would have paid in fees in mutual funds, you will likely make money. No cost loans make sense if your new rate is lower than your old rate it is that simple. For a 30 year purchase conventional loan*: 3.00% down = 1.04% of your loan amount 5.00% down = .78% of your loan amount 10.00% down = .52% of your loan amount 15.00% down = .32% of your loan amount 20.00% down = .00% of your loan amount * These rates are typical for all states except South Carolina (a little less). Fees can vary slightly for refinance transactions and a little more for investor properties. These rates will remain constant for 10 years and will drop to .20% beginning in year 11. The Annual Percentage Rate is a good tool in comparing different lenders and the total costs involved in financing your new home. The APR takes into consideration all the costs involved in getting a mortgage and give a clearer picture of what you are paying in interest. When you look just at the interest rate this sometimes can be deceiving since their are so many ways and programs available for mortgages. A lower interest rate is always realized with Adjustable Rate Mortgages at first and then the interest rate will increase over the years. Also a lower interest rate cannot always be seen as a better deal because the lender could be charging more fees that will offset the benefit of the lower interest rate. Appraiser The appraiser will be hired by the mortgage broker or lender to determine the market value of your prospective home based on its condition and the selling prices of comparable homes recently sold in the area. This estimate helps the lender decide a reasonable loan amount for the mortgage. Mortgage InsuranceHere is an example of mortgage insurance for a $100,000 home at the current insurance rates: Down Payment on a Conventional Loan Monthly Mortgage Insurance Payment $3,000 down or a 97% LTV $56.58 $5,000 down or a 95% LTV $40.38 $10,000 down or a 90% LTV $27.00 $15,000 down or a 85% LTV $17.71 |
