What is escrow analysis? Escrow analysis is the process used to determine if the escrow portion of your payment is enough to pay your escrow items (usually tax and insurance bills) for the coming year. The method and format of the analysis is prescribed by federal regulation. The first step in the escrow analysis process is forecasting or estimating the amounts of each of the escrow items we will pay on your behalf in the coming year. Based on these estimates, we then adjust your monthly escrow collection to insure we will have sufficient funds to pay these bills when they become due. We also determine the current escrow balance needed to pay these upcoming bills, and compare this amount with the balance actually in your escrow account at the time of the analysis. Due to changes in the amount of tax and insurance bills, we often discover there is either a surplus or a shortage in your escrow account.

Prior to closing, be sure to inquire if the lender requires an escrow account set up for the payment of the real estate taxes and homeowners insurance. Some lenders will waive the escrow requirements if the down payment is above a certain limit. Depending on when you close and when real estate taxes are paid in your jurisdiction, the cash required to set up the real estate tax escrow could represent one-half to three-quarters of the annual real estate tax bill.

Check the lifecap on your equity line Many credit lines have lifecaps of 18%. Be prepared to make high interest payments if rates move upwards.

What’s the difference between conforming and non-conforming loans? Most loan rates that you hear quoted are for conforming loans. A conforming loan is one with an original balance of $275,000 or less for a single-family home. Any loan amount larger than that is called non-conforming.

Be careful about submitting multiple loan applications or line of credit applications. Some lenders will also look at how many inquiries have been made into your credit report recently. They might believe that a large number of inquiries means that you have applied for a large amount of credit recently. If you apply for new lines of credit, lenders might believe that you have been turned down by other lenders. Lenders also are wary if they believe that you are accumulating new credit accounts, which might indicate you have become a poor credit risk. Review another topic of our Expert Advice section, Be Smart About Your Credit History, before you apply to several lenders.

By adding in the costs of closing your loan to the amount mortgaged the borrower can realize the benefits of a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments. This is a substantial advantage to those that cannot afford immediate payment of refinancing charges, but would like to take advantage of lower interest rates.

If the seller wishes to be released from liability on a loan which is freely assumable, the buyer and seller may request we complete a qualifying assumption. If we give credit approval of the buyer, we will release the seller from liability.

Will you adjust the amount of my mortgage payment if my tax bill is going to change? We base the monthly tax escrow collection for new loans on the information provided to us at the time your loan closed. For all other loans, we estimate your future tax bills based on the last amount we paid. If you believe the amount we have estimated is incorrect, you will need to contact your tax office for more information. Your tax office can either confirm the amount we have is correct, or provide you with something in writing which shows a different estimate.

Loan Payoff Is my principal balance the amount needed to pay my loan in full? No. The amount needed to pay your loan in full could also include interest, escrow advances, unpaid late charges, or other fees due on the loan. You must request a payoff statement to determine the exact amount needed to pay your loan in full.

If you have questions about the equations used, or need more information about your specific situation, you should consult your real estate professional or a mortgage lender.
