When does it make sense to pay points? Points are a one-time fee that a borrower pays to lower the interest rate. Points are defined as a percentage of your loan amount, with one point being equal to one percent of your loan. For example, if you borrow $200,000, one point would be equal to $2,000. Paying one point will generally reduce your interest rate by approximately .25%.

Benefits of Using an FHA loan.

In the case of new construction, the lender will want the appraiser to inspect the home just prior to closing. This is to ensure that it is in accordance with the plans and specifications furnished by the builder or contractor.

The front ratio is the percentage of your monthly gross income (before taxes) that is used to pay your housing costs, including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance (when applicable) and homeowners association fees (when applicable). The back ratio is the same thing, only it also includes your monthly consumer debt. Consumer debt can be car payments, credit card debt, installment loans, and similar related expenses. Auto or life insurance is not considered a debt.

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.

Correspondents Correspondent is usually a term that refers to a company which originates and closes home loans in their own name, then instead of selling those loans in pools, they sell them individually to a larger lender, called a sponsor. The sponsor acts as the mortgage banker, re-selling the loan to Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac as part of a pool.

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

Here are two calculators you can use to determine the maximum monthly mortgage payment you can afford -- the total debt to income ratio calculator and the housing to income ratio calculator.

Many of the reasons for a loan denial can be corrected over time. These may include that you show insufficient money for a down payment, excessive debt or a poor credit history. Once your financial situation or credit profile has improved you can apply again for a loan.

Pre-Approval can be obtained within a week of the completed loan application. If you are looking to purchase and would like to be pre-approved, simply fill out the preliminary application, and our loan officers will contact you quickly. The final loan approval is then subject to an acceptable property appraisal after you have chosen a home.

This is how it works now: You talk to practically any lender and apply for a loan. They do all the processing and verifications and finally, you own the house and now you have a home loan and you make mortgage payments. You might be making payments to the company who originated your loan, or your loan might have been transferred to another institution.

Balloon Programs A balloon mortgage loan is a type of mortgage loan that has a short term (typically 5 or 7 years), but the monthly payment is computed using a 30 year term. When a borrower uses a balloon loan, he/she will make the monthly payment for the scheduled loan term (5 or 7 years). When this loan term is over, the borrower is required to pay off the remaining balance in one lump-sum payment. If the borrower decides not to sell the property after the loan term is over, the borrower has the option to refinance the mortgage with a new one. A 7/23 balloon mortgage gives the borrower the option to convert to a fixed rate program (for a nominal fee) after the initial term (7 years) is over. If the conversion feature is used, the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan (23 years) will be adjusted once to reflect market conditions, then remain fixed for the remainder of the loan term.
