This adjustment is based on changes in a pre-selected index, and will take place according to a pre-defined schedule (generally every six months or every year). Your interest rate and monthly payment will fluctuate based on changes in your index. The most common indices are the Treasury Bill, Certificate of Deposit (CD), LIBOR and COFI.

Example: If you make $5000 a month, with 33/38 qualifying ratio guidelines, your maximum monthly housing cost should be around $1650. Including your consumer debt, your monthly housing and credit expenditures should be around $1900 as a maximum

Almost all loan officers are paid on commission. The amount earned by the loan officer and the branch is subject to a split -- just like real estate agents. Part of it goes to the loan officer and part goes to the branch. Any fees that are not part of the points go to the branch (or company) and are not subject to the split.

What is the difference between a Home Equity Loan and a Home Equity Line of Credit?

Usually, larger mortgage bankers are much better at promoting special first time buyer programs, cooperating with states and local governments. These programs will have slightly lower interest rates and costs than the current market rate. To qualify for these programs, your income must usually fall below a median average for the area and you must not have owned your residence for the last three years.

As for lending institutions, each type of lender has strengths and weaknesses. Quality within each branch or office can vary, depending on the loan officer, the support staff, and a variety of other factors.

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.

Essentially, the amount of money you can borrow will be determined by the size of the monthly payment you can afford. As a general rule, lenders do not allow the monthly payment to exceed 25% to 33% of gross monthly income. Other lenders have more flexible debt-to-income ratios.
