How Life Insurance Can Cover Your Mortgage Balance

Posted in Mortgage by Administrator on the May 30th, 2009

Abstract: interest only mortgage

Discussing the need for life insurance is never a pleasant
topic, and certainly combined with talk of mortgage payments, it
can be downright distasteful. But it is your responsibility as
the principle breadwinner in your home to consider what might
happen if you or your spouse were to perish. Would your spouse
be able to meet the most basic needs of food and shelter? While
the money necessary to pay for basic amenities like food and
transportation are attainable through a single income source,
most families simply cannot afford to meet their most basic
requirement, the mortgage payment, without the income from both
spouses.

How it Works If you are in this situation, it is important to
take the necessary precautions in case you or your spouse dies
unexpectedly. While saving enough to cover your mortgage is
certainly an ideal solution, it is largely unfeasible for most
contemporary families. As a result, individuals often opt for
mortgage protection life insurance policies. These policies are
designed specifically to meet the needs of your home mortgage
payment in the event that you or your spouse dies.

The idea behind mortgage protection life insurance is simple:
you pay a monthly premium in exchange for which the insurance
company agrees to pay off the rest of your mortgage should you
die.

Pricing Pricing for mortgage protection life insurance policies
parallels that of traditional life insurance price criteria. For
example, if you smoke your rates will be higher, just as if you
are an older individual. But certainly the most determinative
factor in your price will be the amount of coverage you need.
The major you owe on your home, the in addition insurance you will need
to pay it off, which of course means the further expensive the
insurance premium will be.

Alternatives to Consider While mortgage protection life
insurance will cover your mortgage payment, as all home owners
know, this is only part of the cost of owning a home. In
addition there are taxes and repairs to prepare for. For a
family that has lost a breadwinner, making these types of
allocations can be difficult. As a result, many individuals opt
for coverage which goes beyond just mortgage protection and
instead provides payments sufficient to cover all the expenses
associated with owning a home. This type of insurance often
comes in the form of a term life policy which is for an amount
which exceeds the price of your home. Of course, this extra
coverage comes with a price. But with this coverage also comes
quite a bit likewise flexibility. Under a term life policy your
family is not bound to pay off the house with the money they
receive, but can instead use it in whatever manner they feel
most compelled to. This can be especially helpful if there are
other medical costs to consider or if you have children
approaching college age.

Life insurance is not a pleasant concept to consider because it
requires that we think about the potential for our own demise
and the resulting consequences of our death. It is vital,
however, that as individuals who are responsible for the
financial support of others, we consider these difficult
questions and decide whether a life insurance policy is the foremost
solution for us.

Economics of the Mortgage Market: Perspectives on Household Decision Making (Real Estate Issues)
The analysis of the mortgage market is a specialised field but examines a financial market with extremely wide-ranging implications; it affects the stability of the whole economy.The key thing about this analysis is the increasing materiality of the secondary mortgage market – which in the US is now several times larger than the market for government debt. The UK secondary mortgage market is also growing and the book will provide a timely resource to those active and interested in this important financial market.The 1990s saw an enormous growth of mortgage market analysis as an academic subject and there is a vast literature scattered among the key real estate journals. There is now a great need to not only bring this very complex subject area together, but also to abstract the major issues and to render them intelligible. The book will provide an organised research resource and also inform and motivate further research into the microeconomics of mortgage markets.

Discriminating Risk: The U.S. Mortgage Lending Industry in the Twentieth Century

Discriminating Risk: The U.S. Mortgage Lending Industry in the Twentieth Century
The U.S. home mortgage industry first formalized risk criteria in the 1920s and 1930s to determine which applicants should receive funds. Over the past eighty years, these formulae have become greater sophisticated. Guy Stuart demonstrates that the very concepts on which lenders base their decisions reflect a set of social and political values about “who deserves what.” Stuart examines the fine line between licit choice and illicit discrimination, arguing that lenders, while eradicating blatantly discriminatory practices, have ignored the racial and economic-class biases that recapital encoded in their decision processes. He explains why African Americans and Latinos continue to be at a disadvantage in gaining access to loans: discrimination, he finds, results from the interaction between the way lenders make decisions and the way they shape the social structure of the mortgage and housing markets.

Mortgage lenders, Stuart contends, are embedded in and shape a social context that can matchless be understood in terms of rules, networks, and the production of space. Stuart’s history of lenders’ risk criteria reveals that they were synthesized from rules of thumb, cultural norms, and untested theories. In addition, his interviews with real estate and lending professionals in the Chicago housing market show us how the criteria are implemented today. Drawing on census and Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for quantitative support, Stuart concludes with concrete policy proposals that take into account the social structure in which lenders make decisions.

When Does Early Mortgage Make Sense?

Posted in Mortgage by Administrator on the May 13th, 2009

Abstract: fixed mortgage
Tag:

Early mortgage repayment looks on paper at least like a wonderful deal. If you have a typical mortgage and you are near the beginning of the mortgage term and make an extra $25 a month in principal payments, you could potentially save $25,000 in interest over the life of the loan.

Note: The exact amount of early repayment savings depends on the loan, but, in general, the apparent savings are astounding.

In spite of the superficial profit that seems to come from early mortgage repayment, it’s often not a good decision. The tragedy here is if you would have used that $25 a month to boost your individual retirement account, or IRA contribution, you would end up with $50,000 in your IRA account. If you would have used the $25 a month to make extra contributions to your employer’s 401(k) plan, you might have easily ended up with $75,000 in a 401(k) account.

The reason for these discrepancies is simple. In effect, when you calculate the interest you save by early mortgage repayment, or the interest you make by investing in an IRA or a 401(k), you are making a compound interest calculation. Any time you compound interest over long periods of time, the numbers eventually grow large. But the most important factor driving the interest rate compounding calculation is the interest rate. The larger the interest rate, the faster the compounding and ultimately the larger the final value.

If you can prepay a mortgage that charges 6% but invest in an individual retirement account or 401(k) account that will pay 8%, mortgage repayment is actually a terrible idea. And, unfortunately, very small differences in interest rates ultimately produce very large differences in the final compounded values.

Although early mortgage repayment is a technique that many financial writers who don’t know better recommend, you are typically better off using the money you would have used for early mortgage repayment for additional individual retirement account or 401(k) contributions. The one scenario in which you could save money through early mortgage repayment is when you have already taken maximum advantage of these other investment choices and are still looking for some other place to “save” additional money.
