Balloon Programs A balloon mortgage loan is a type of mortgage loan that has a short term (typically 5 or 7 years), but the monthly payment is computed using a 30 year term. When a borrower uses a balloon loan, he/she will make the monthly payment for the scheduled loan term (5 or 7 years). When this loan term is over, the borrower is required to pay off the remaining balance in one lump-sum payment. If the borrower decides not to sell the property after the loan term is over, the borrower has the option to refinance the mortgage with a new one. A 7/23 balloon mortgage gives the borrower the option to convert to a fixed rate program (for a nominal fee) after the initial term (7 years) is over. If the conversion feature is used, the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan (23 years) will be adjusted once to reflect market conditions, then remain fixed for the remainder of the loan term.

Mortgage Brokers

If you are asking the seller to pay all or part of your closing costs, you have to be certain your loan program allows what you are asking. For smaller down payments, lenders allow the seller to pay less closing costs than for larger down payments. Some loan programs will allow a seller to pay certain types of costs, but not others.

Risk and Market Fluctuation Even when it is easy to predict a trend in interest rates, choosing not to lock in is a risk. That is because, even in the middle of a trend, the daily fluctuations of interest rates can be extremely volatile. Daily economic news affects interest rates, sometimes dramatically.

The Advantages of Different Types of Mortgage Lenders, continued

Correspondents Correspondent is usually a term that refers to a company which originates and closes home loans in their own name, then instead of selling those loans in pools, they sell them individually to a larger lender, called a sponsor. The sponsor acts as the mortgage banker, re-selling the loan to Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac as part of a pool.

Your debts The lender will look at the monthly debt such as loan payments, charge cards, child support, made monthly by the applicant. The percentage of debts to income is known as the debt-to-income ratio. A good goal is to spend about 38% of your income on all debts including the contemplated mortgage payment.

Banks and Savings & Loans - Banks and Savings & Loans - Banks and savings & loans usually operate as portfolio lenders, mortgage bankers, or some combination of both.

Know your rights if you have been turned down for a loan. The lender must explain in writing why the loan was turned down, within 30 days from your submission of a completed application. You will receive an adverse action notice stating a specific reason for the denial. The notice will also tell you which federal agency to contact if you think the lender or mortgage broker has illegally discriminated against you.
