Selling these seasoned loans frees up more money for the portfolio lender to make more loans, which is another way that portfolio lenders engage in mortgage banking. If the loans are sold, they are packaged into pools and sold on the secondary market. You will probably not even realize your loan is sold because, quite likely, you will still make your loan payments to the same lender, which has now become your servicer.

Are there fees? Who pays them? and How are they paid? Fees such as appraisal, title, escrow, and credit report fees are being incurred, but the new lender pays for everything to get you as their client. The new lender also pays East West Mortgage to perform the service. You, however, pay nothing and will not have any costs rolled into the new loan amount.

With interest-only mortgages, as the name suggests, each monthly repayment pays off some of the interest on the loan, but none of the capital. The idea is that, alongside your mortgage, you set up an investment vehicle into which you pay a regular sum with a view to building up a large enough investment to pay off the capital on your mortgage.

Essentially, the amount of money you can borrow will be determined by the size of the monthly payment you can afford. As a general rule, lenders do not allow the monthly payment to exceed 25% to 33% of gross monthly income. Other lenders have more flexible debt-to-income ratios.

Your First Step Toward Buying a Home When preparing to buy a home, the first thing many homebuyers do is look at homes for sale ads in newspapers, magazines and listings on the internet. Some potential buyers read how-to articles like this one. The next thing you should do – before you call on an ad, before you talk to a Realtor, before you shop for interest rates – is look at your savings. Why? Because determining how much money you have available for down payment and closing costs affects almost every aspect of buying a home – including how you write your purchase offer, the loan programs you qualify for, and shopping for interest rates.

What does the application consist of? The typical application is basically an outline of who you are, the property you want to buy or refinance, and your financial assets and liabilities.

Once your loan has been packaged into a pool and sold to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae, the lender gets additional funds so they can make more loans (to service in their portfolio) and sell to those institutions, so they can get more money, and so on.... This is the cycle that allows institutions to lend you money.

Mortgage Rates and Pricing Locking in Interest Rates The rate sheet on the previous page was incomplete. Time is a factor in pricing interest rates, too. Because interest rates change daily (and sometimes during the day) the longer a lender locks in a rate, the more risk that they have the market will move against them. Therefore, you pay more (in points) for a longer guarantee.

When do I need Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?

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%.
