Interest Only Mortgages

Posted in Mortgage by Administrator on the March 27th, 2008

Abstract: mortgage refinancing
Tag:

By definition, a mortgage is a temporary, conditional pledge of
property to a creditor as security for performance of an
obligation or repayment of a debt. Simplified, that means you
borrow money from a financial institution and they essentially
buy your house and you pay it back. How can this happen if
you’re just paying interest? More accurately, interest-only
mortgages are a temporary reprieve for paying off a traditional
mortgage. You may actually be prolonging the inevitable and
eventually making it even extra costly to pay off your mortgage.

Before you decide to buy now and pay later, that is pay “big
time” later, take a moment to enlighten yourself a bit in addition
about these so-called “interest only mortgages.” Think about it
for a moment. If you just pay the interest on your home, will
you ever start paying on principal and will you ever earn any
equity into your property?

In fact, far too many people are in debt way over their heads
because of interest-only mortgages. They took advantage of
attractive offers to buy now and pay later. With an interest
only payment you’re keeping the principal at minimum value while
continuing to pay interest at 100%. With a major conventional
mortgage you’d be slowly dwindling down the total interest
amount. Most interest-only payment schedules are offered on
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs), but they can also be found on
a fixed rate mortgage. Interest-only payment periods almost
never run for the entire term of the loan which is typically 15
or 30 years. Depending on the terms of your contract, you could
be expected to start paying on the principal in five, seven or
ten years. Once the interest-only period ends, your monthly
payment will go up because then you’ll be paying on both
principal and interest.

On the other hand, interest-only mortgages can be a good thing
for some people. For those people wanting to purchase a
bigger/better home for a lower down payment AND who anticipate
moving within seven years, the interest-only payment method may
be the way to go. However, keep in-mind that in a “down”
realestate market you generally won’t be building equity and
making money by doing it this way. The majority of the money
made from investing in real estate comes from an increase in
value to the home. The average person moves every seven years
anyway. Gone are the days when people stay in a home thirty
years. Hence, if you anticipate moving before you’ll have to
start paying on the principal, then an interest-only payment may
be ideal for you.

There’s a great deal of fine print to any mortgage. Evaluate
your own goals; be vigilant when reviewing the terms on the loan
you’re considering before acting.

U.S. Homeowners Oppose Proposal To Replace Home Mortgage Interest Rates Deduction With 15% Tax Credit

Posted in Mortgage by Administrator on the March 21st, 2008

Abstract: new jersey mortgage
Tag:

Only six percent of homeowners said they favored the proposal.
The rechiefing nine percent said they were undecided. In
addition to replacing the home mortgage interest deduction – an
important component of the U.S. tax code since 1913 – the
Advisory Panel would eliminate deductions for state and local
taxes, including property taxes; eliminate interest deductions
for home equity loans and second homes; and eliminate the Low
Income Housing Credit. “Our survey represents a random sampling
of homeowners,” said Michael Bearden, president and CEO of
HouseHunt-Inc.com. “While not scientifically designed, we feel
that our survey results accurately reflect homeowner sentiment.”
Bearden also pointed to a national survey conducted earlier by
RT Strategies on behalf of the National Association of Home
Builders. That survey found that 68% of respondents said they
want to retain current homeowner deductions.” In late October,
the million-member National Association of Realtors launched an
aggressive advertising and public relations campaign to convince
members of Congress and the leadership of key congressional
committees to oppose the Advisory Panel’s recommendations. The
real estate industry trade association predicts that home
prices, particularly in high cost areas, could decline as much
as 15% if the proposal is adopted. Eight members of the House
Ways and Means Committee recently sent a letter to Treasury
Secretary John Snow urging the Bush Administration to reject the
Advisory Panel’s proposal. One of the committee members, Rep.
Jerry Weller (R-IL), said that a typical middle-class homeowner
in his state would see a tax hike of $2,000-$2,500 under the
proposal.

The 7 Sins of Mortgage Brokers

Posted in Mortgage by Administrator on the March 16th, 2008

Abstract: miami mortgage
Tag:

Honesty is the most important aspect of dealing with mortgage brokers. Unfortunately not all brokers are forth coming with certain information that would allow you to trust them and make an informed decision about the deal they recommend. Don’t get me wrong not all mortgage brokers are bad. Just don’t underestimate the influence that commission has on their recommendations. And, as always there are bad eggs in every industry.

Being aware of the following broker sins will help you pick a trustworthy broker and make sure they get the foremost deal for you. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Sin 1: Favouring their loan product.

You need to be aware if the mortgage broker is also a lender, i.e. do they have their own loan products? If they do, and they offer there own product, there needs to be a clear, understandable reason why their product is the outstanding choice for your situation.

Sin 2: Being influenced by commission.

Brokers get commission from the lender you end up borrowing from. You need to ask if the broker has special incentives for referring you to a specific lender i.e., do some lenders pay extra commission? If so, this may lead them to be biased about which lender they recommend to you. They may be inclined to recommend you to the lender that pays the most; regardless of whether this is the greatest choice for you.

So again you need to be given a clear and understandable reason why the product and lender is the number one choice for your situation. You also need to find out how big a range of lenders the broker deals with. They can’t claim to find you the number one loan product on the market for your needs if they only deal with 20% of lenders on the market.

Sin 3: Hiding the real cost of the mortgage.

Make sure the broker provides you with the comparison interest rate, when looking at or comparing any home loan products. The comparison rate shows you the real cost of a home loan by taking into consideration all the foreseeable fees and charges associated with the loan. This is so you can easily compare home loan products.

Sin 4: Withholding information.

Know the whole deal. You need to know the whole service provided by the broker. Do they provide ongoing service and assistance after you secure your loan? If so, find out for how long. Also, what are the fees involved? Theirs and the lenders. All this needs to be made clear before any papers are signed.

Sin 5: Allowing client ignorance.

Make sure you understand what the benefits and the drawbacks are for you. You need to have it explained to you in a clear way so you can understand it. This is so you can weigh it up and decided for yourself if refinancing is actually in your greatest interest. There is a bad practise in the mortgage broker industry called churning. Churning is the act of refinancing for the sake of commission even though there are no benefits for the mortgage owner. Making sure you understand the benefits and drawbacks of the refinancing deal yourself will make it impossible for you to fall victim to this practice.

Sin 6: Being Uninsured

Do the brokers have their own professional indemnity insurance? This protects professionals against liability claims resulting from negligent work. All lenders will have it. However the brokers should not assume they are covered by the insurance of an umbrella organization. The broker needs to know for sure if they are or are not protected.

Sin 7: Being Unqualified.

Is the broker qualified to give you lending advice? In every country there are reputable authority organizations that provide mortgage brokers with credentials, provided they undertake certain courses. Find out who these organizations are and make sure the broker you’re dealing with is a member or has been given credentials.
