The Annual Percentage Rate is a good tool in comparing different lenders and the total costs involved in financing your new home. The APR takes into consideration all the costs involved in getting a mortgage and give a clearer picture of what you are paying in interest. When you look just at the interest rate this sometimes can be deceiving since their are so many ways and programs available for mortgages. A lower interest rate is always realized with Adjustable Rate Mortgages at first and then the interest rate will increase over the years. Also a lower interest rate cannot always be seen as a better deal because the lender could be charging more fees that will offset the benefit of the lower interest rate.

You may reach a day when you have to lock in -- because you cannot draw the loan documents without locking in a rate. That might be a day when rates are up, even though they are trending downward. Locking in your rate provides a nice safe guarantee -- providing you close on time. It makes sense to build in a cushion because no one can guarantee you will close on time, even though everyone tries their best.

Once you have calculated your monthly income, multiply it by the back ratio for your particular loan. For generic purposes, it is fairly easy to work with thirty-eight. Take 38% of your monthly income or multiply it by .38. That tells you the maximum the lender wants you to spend on your housing costs and monthly consumer debt combined.

Can you stop the payment of my real estate taxes if I am going to pay my loan in full? When you have an escrow account with us for payment of taxes, we are required to pay your taxes until your loan is paid in full. As a result, we cannot accept requests to stop tax payments; we will continue to disburse taxes as usual until we actually receive funds to pay your loan in full.

Seniors do not have to meet income or credit requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage.

If you have a conventional loan - The investor who owns your loan determines the specific guidelines for cancellation of the Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, and these guidelines may change at any time. PMI must be maintained until you have at least 20 percent equity in your home, and some investors require more equity before PMI can be dropped. If you think you may have 20 percent equity at this time, please contact us at 1.800.367.6448 and we can send you written information outlining the specific cancellation criteria for your loan.

PITI Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance are the components of a mortgage payment.

**Note: You will have to pay for credit report and appraisal at time of application but these funds will be refunded to you at settlement. (Certain restrictions may apply depending on loan size.) ***Note: We do not pay for your prepaid, escrows, and any prepaid penalties or lender fees that you may have to pay to get out of your current mortgage.

Different Than a Home Equity Loan A reverse mortgage is different from a home equity loan or line of credit, which many banks and thrifts offer. With a home equity loan or line of credit, an applicant must meet certain income and credit requirements, begin monthly repayments immediately, and the home can have an existing first mortgage on it. In addition, there is no restriction on the age of borrowers.

Reverse Mortgages

Credit Unions - Credit Unions usually seem to operate as correspondents, although a large one could act as a portfolio lender or a mortgage banker.

Is there a prepayment penalty on the loan? Ask about the duration of any penalty period and how the fee would be calculated. This is important if you think you will sell your home before the mortgage is paid off, which most homeowners do.

BANKS and SAVINGS & LOANS Their major strength is that you will recognize their name. Banks and Savings & Loans often operate as portfolio lenders, but as the lending world has changed, most also operate as mortgage bankers and sometimes brokers.

Appraiser The appraiser will be hired by the mortgage broker or lender to determine the market value of your prospective home based on its condition and the selling prices of comparable homes recently sold in the area. This estimate helps the lender decide a reasonable loan amount for the mortgage.
