Reverse Mortgages

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

What is lender-placed insurance? Lender-placed insurance is coverage we order to protect the property when we learn it is not insured. This can occur any time your insurance coverage expires or is canceled, and we do not receive proof of new coverage. If it is necessary for us to order lender-placed insurance on your property, the premiums for this coverage will be paid from your escrow account. Because these premiums are typically higher than the premiums for insurance coverage obtained from your agent, we encourage you to work with your agent to make sure your property is adequately insured at all times.

Mortgage Programs If you only have enough available for a minimum down payment, your choices of loan program will be limited to only a few types of mortgages. If someone is giving you a gift for all or part of the down payment, your options are also limited. If you have enough for the down payment, but need the lender or seller to cover all or part of your closing costs, this further limits your options. If you borrow all or a portion of the down payment from your 401K or retirement plan, different loan programs have different rules on how you qualify. Of course, if you have enough for a large down payment, then you have lots of choices.

The loan is called a reverse mortgage because the direction of payments is reversed - the lender pays the borrower rather than the other way around. The borrower can receive the funds in their choice of a lump sum payment, line of credit, monthly payments for as long as they live in the home, or any combination of these choices. Some programs offer monthly payments for a specific period of time, while others can be combined with an annuity to offer monthly payments for life, no matter where you live. The borrower can remain in the home for the rest of their life should they choose to do so. No repayment is required until the borrower permanently vacates the home.

Are there any penalties to refinance my no-cost loan in the future? There are no prepayment penalties of any kind. This allows you to take advantage of any future rate declines by refinancing at no cost again.

Fixed Rate Mortgages: Payments remain the same for the life of the loan Types: 15-year 30-year Advantages: Predictable Housing cost remains unaffected by interest rate changes and inflation

Hazard Insurance This is a contract that protects you from any financial losses on your property that might result from fire, flood, or any other hazards.

Those who do the sensible thing and invest for the term of their mortgage invariably choose equity-based investments, as these traditionally offer the best returns over the long term. So, for example, borrowers picked personal equity plans (Peps) when they were available, and now often opt for individual savings accounts (Isas) and other pooled investments, including pensions.

What is Prepaid Interest? This is interim interest that accrues on the mortgage loan from the date of the settlement to the beginning of the period covered by the first monthly payment. Since interest is paid in arrears, a mortgage payment made in June actually pays for interest accrued in the month of May. Because of this, if your closing date is scheduled for June 15, the first mortgage payment is due August 1. The lender will calculate an interest amount per day that is collected at the time of closing. This amount covers the interest accrued from June 15 to July 1.

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).

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.

It is important that you review what the closing costs will be with your lender and attorney. This should take place far enough in advance of the closing to allow yourself time to obtain the necessary funds to pay the closing costs.

Here 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

What is refinancing, and when should I apply for it? Refinancing involves obtaining a new mortgage loan on a property already owned - often to replace existing loans on the property. When the mortgage rates are low, it may be a good time to refinance. Refinancing can save you money on your monthly mortgage payments.
