Locking In Lenders are often asked whether to lock in a loan or to float your interest rate in hopes of getting a better rate. Unless you can predict the future of our economy, The Expert strongly advises each borrower to lock in his or her loan upon completion of an application or at the earliest possible time allowed by your lender. Rates change with most programs without notice. By the time you learned about negative information in the sensitive interest rate market, it would probably be too late to capture the old prices. The Expert has learned that things get bad a whole lot faster than things get good and suggests that each borrower lock their rate when they can. You will sleep well at night knowing that you have a payment you can live with.

Your LTV will be: $75,000/$80,000 = 93.75% Home mortgages down-payments are nothing like car loan down payments. Cars depreciate in value as soon as you drive them off the lot. Homes usually appreciate due to the increasing values of property. This allows you to put down whatever down payment you can afford. The only thing that will increase by putting less down is your mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance is simply insurance is simply to safeguard the lender to some degree that you will repay your loan. Mortgage insurance varies as to which program you are in, but increases can be minimal to your monthly budget.

Check the lifecap on your equity line Many credit lines have lifecaps of 18%. Be prepared to make high interest payments if rates move upwards.

Your Down Payment Funds for down payment normally are required to be documented and verified as your own. Securities with the current market price can be used. Bonds can be used. Funds secured by collateral can be used. Money from family can be used in FHA loans as long as it does not have to be repaid. Checking and saving accounts will be reviewed for stability. This is so that you cannot borrow money to satisfy a certain down payment requirement. Each program has its own requirements and each borrower has his/her own circumstances.

How do I know which type of mortgage is best for me? Since some mortgage options are less conservative than others, it is important to determine if you are a “risk-taker” or if you prefer more stability in your financial dealings.

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.

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 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
