The formulas these calculators use are similar to ones most lenders use when underwriting a loan application. They can help you estimate: The approximate monthly payment you can afford (including principal, interest, taxes and insurance), and The approximate loan amount this payment may represent. The lesser of the two figures you calculate is the one you should input in this loan amount estimator calculator to determine the amount you are eligible to receive.

As Greenspan spoke to the Congressional committee, Iraq announced that it would let in weapons inspectors and disarm. Stock prices and bond yields immediately spiked upward. If bond yields continue the upward trajectory, mortgage rates will rise, too.

You and an attorney (if you choose to have an attorney represent you) should review the loan commitment carefully. Make sure the terms are acceptable to you. Assuming you and the lender come to terms, your agreement with the lender is now complete.

Do I need title insurance? The lender will check the title to the property to make sure there are no outstanding liens or title problems. The lender requires, and sometimes will arrange for, title insurance to protect the property against unforeseen problems. This is called a “lender’s” title insurance policy. You may want to obtain title insurance to protect your own interest in the property. This is called an “owner’s” title insurance policy. These policies ensure that your property is free and clear of any title defects, claims or encumbrances.

It doesn’t generally work like that anymore. Most of the money for home loans comes from three major institutions: Fannie Mae (FNMA - Federal National Mortgage Association) Freddie Mac (FHLMC – Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) Ginnie Mae (GNMA – Government National Mortgage Association).

The company you make your payments to very rarely owns your loan. They are the servicer of your mortgage. They are called the servicer because they are simply servicing your loan for the institution that does own it.

What is the property worth? The lender will want to know the value of the prospective home. The loan amount approved will depend on the value of the property to be determined by an appraiser. This appraisal is to ensure that the lender can recover the money he lends, even if you stop making payments. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender has the right to sell the home to pay off the loan -- a process known as foreclosure.
