ARM - New York NY: Loans & Mortgages :: Refinancing :: Bad credit loans :: First time buyers home loans :: Advice on the best loan for you :: Mortgage advisor. Reverse MortgagesMORTGAGE BANKERS If we are talking about the larger mortgage bankers, you can count on them having several strengths. For the biggest ones, like Countrywide or Wells Fargo, you will recognize the brand name.Beginning with your first adjustment, the new interest rate on your loan is calculated according to the formula in your loan agreement. This rate is typically determined by taking the index specified in your loan documents (such as the One-Year Treasury Index), and adding it to a fixed percentage, called the margin. This figure may then be rounded, and is often subject to rate caps, which limit how much your interest rate may change at any given adjustment, or over the life of the loan. 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. 30-Year: In the first 23 years of the loan, more interest is paid off than principal, meaning larger tax deductions. As inflation and costs of living increase, mortgage payments become a smaller part of overall expenses. 15-year: Loan is usually made at a lower interest rate. Equity is built faster because early payments pay more principal.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 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. 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. What Are Discount Points? Discount points allow you to lower your interest rate. They are essentially prepaid interest, with each point equaling 1% of the total loan amount. Generally, for each point paid on a 30-year mortgage, the interest rate is reduced by 1/8 (or .125) of a percentage point. When shopping for loans, ask lenders for an interest rate with 0 points and then see how much the rate decreases with each point paid If interest rates drop significantly, you may want to investigate refinancing. Most experts agree that if you plan to be in your house for at least 18 months and you can get a rate 2% less than your current one, refinancing is smart. Refinancing may, however, involve paying many of the same fees paid at the original closing, plus origination and application fees. |
