Property Insurance Why do I need insurance on my property?

Two major agencies—the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or Freddie Mac—can purchase conforming loans. For lenders who sell their loans after they are closed, there is an extremely liquid market. But the availability of potential buyers is reduced greatly when the loan amount goes above the conforming limit. To attract enough buyers for these loans, a lender often increases the rate on non-conforming loans. The conforming loan limit is adjusted annually at year-end by FNMA and FHLMC. Some lenders also have their own guidelines for dollar differentiation between conforming and non-conforming loans.

Amortization

You can use a home equity loan or line of credit for almost any expense -- to buy a car, consolidate debt, build an addition, remodel your home, or pay college tuition. Many people use home equity loans to pay off higher interest debt such as credit cards, auto loans, and personal loans.

Here is an example of mortgage insurance for a $100,000 home at the current insurance rates: Down Payment on a Conventional Loan Monthly Mortgage Insurance Payment $3,000 down or a 97% LTV $56.58 $5,000 down or a 95% LTV $40.38 $10,000 down or a 90% LTV $27.00 $15,000 down or a 85% LTV $17.71

Know your rights if you have been turned down for a loan. The lender must explain in writing why the loan was turned down, within 30 days from your submission of a completed application. You will receive an adverse action notice stating a specific reason for the denial. The notice will also tell you which federal agency to contact if you think the lender or mortgage broker has illegally discriminated against you.

Cash-out refinancing differs from a home equity loan in a couple of ways. First, a home equity loan is a separate loan on top of your first mortgage; a cash-out refi is a replacement of your first mortgage. Second, the interest rate on a cash-out refinancing is usually, but not always, lower than the interest rate on a home equity loan.

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

Normally, PMI may be removed if you have reduced the principal amount of your loan to 80% or lower than the original purchase price. It also may be removed if you have obtained an independent appraisal stating that the outstanding principal amount of the loan is 80% or lower than the appraised value. Some lenders do not require PMI. Instead, they may increase their origination fee and/or the interest rate on the loan. This can represent a significant advantage to the borrower since PMI premiums are not deductible for tax purposes and mortgage interest is usually deductible.

Deduct that amount from the total the lender wants you to spend on housing costs and consumer debt combined. Now you know the maximum the lender wants you to spend for housing costs, unless the figure is greater than 33% of your monthly income (there are exceptions, of course).
