Mortgage Rates and Pricing

ARM Loans

What Is A Loan To Value (LTV) And How Does It Determine The Size Of The Loan? The loan to value ratio is the amount of money you borrow compared with the price or appraised value of the home you are purchasing. Each loan has a specific LTV limit. For example: With a 95% LTV loan on a home priced at $50,000, you could borrow up to $47,500 (95% of $50,000), and would have to pay $2,500 as a down payment. The LTV ratio reflects the amount of equity borrowers have in their homes. The higher the LTV the less cash homebuyers are required to payout of their own funds. So, to protect lenders against potential loss in case of default, higher LTV loans (80% or more) usually require mortgage insurance policy.

Changing At Renewal - If we collect funds through escrow for your insurance and you wish to change insurance companies at the time your current policy comes up for renewal, we will pay the premium for the new policy from funds currently held in your escrow account. However, you must contact our Customer Service area at 1.800.367.6448 at least one month prior to the renewal date and advise us you are changing companies, so we do not pay the renewal premium for your old policy. You must also make sure your agent sends us the premium billing for the new policy before the old policy expires. When changing insurance companies, the effective date of the new policy must be the same as the expiration date of the old policy, so there is no lapse in coverage.

PITI Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance are the components of a mortgage payment.

Should I choose a fixed rate or adjustable rate loan? Fixed rate loans have a stated interest rate that does not change over the life of the loan, whereas the rates on adjustable rate loans are linked to an index and change as the index rate changes. Many mortgages, such as a 5-Year Fixed (30 Year), start as a fixed rate loan and then convert to an adjustable rate. Adjustable rate loans have more risk due to the possibility that the interest rate could increase. However, because you are assuming some of the risk the lender will generally reward you with a lower interest rate. These loans are best for borrowers who do not plan on keeping the loan for the full term. Learn more about fixed and adjustable rate mortgages

The right kind of loan at a competitive rate is obviously important. So are prompt and thorough underwriting procedures that result in rapid progress through the approval process.

Conclusion As you can see, the down payment affects every choice you make when you buy a home. Although you should look at ads, familiarize yourself with neighborhoods, learn about prices, and read as much as you can - when you get ready to take action – the first thing you should do is figure out how much money you have available for the purchase.

Step Three - a Little Guesswork The next step requires a little guesswork. If you have a vague idea of what price you might qualify for, you can estimate what your annual property taxes and homeowners insurance might cost. From there, you can easily calculate the monthly equivalent. Subtract those figures from your maximum monthly housing costs total.

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.
