When Does a Higher Rate Mortgage Mean Lower Monthly Payments?
Filed Under Finance | Comments Off
Lew Corcoran asked:
You found a house, and you made an offer. The offer is accepted, and you’re excited! You agree on a purchase price of $300,000, and you’re able to put 3% down. That means you need a mortgage for $291,000. Now you’re ready to apply for a mortgage.
Have many of you will look for the mortgage with the lowest rate and lowest fees? (I bet YOUR hand went up!) Have you ever thought that maybe – just maybe – you can get a higher rate mortgage and pay LESS per month?
Let me explain the situation. First, I’m talking about comparing 30 fixed rate mortgages. I’m not talking about adjustable rate mortgages, Option ARMs (Pick-A-Payment Loans), 3-2-1 Buydowns, 2-1 Buydowns, or interest only mortgages.
To make sure that we’re all on the same track, I’m going to compare three different fully amortizing 30-year fixed rate mortgage programs for a loan amount of $291,000. This is just 3% down on a purchase price of $300,000.
We’re all on the same track? Good! Now let me ask this question: Which program will result in the lowest overall monthly payment:
1. A 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 6.5% with PMI; 2. A 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 6.875% with Lender Paid PMI; or 3. A 30-year fixed rate FHA mortgage at 6.25% with MIP?
(Note: PMI = private mortgage insurance. MIP = monthly insurance premium)
Did you pick program #1? Or did you pick program #3? (I bet none of you picked program #2!)
Let’s break them down one by one:
1) A 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 6.5% with PMI
If you select this mortgage, your monthly mortgage payment will be $2091.52. You will pay $1839.32/mo for principal and interest, and $252.20/mo for mortgage insurance.
2) A 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 6.875% with LPMI
If you select this mortgage, your monthly mortgage payment will be $1911.66. The lender will pay the mortgage insurance premium, so your total mortgage payment will be $1911.66/mo for principal and interest.
3) A 30-year fixed rate FHA mortgage at 6.25% with MIP
If you select this mortgage, your monthly mortgage payment will be $1941.68. With FHA mortgages, there is an upfront mortgage insurance premium of 1.5%. You can roll that into the loan, which I did in this case. So, your initial loan amount will be $295,365. Your monthly mortgage payment will be $1818.61. You will also pay a reduced mortgage insurance premium of $123.07/mo.
Result
As you can see in this case, Option 2, or the mortgage with the HIGHEST interest rate, will actually result in the LOWEST monthly mortgage payment. In this case, you will save $179.86 month in payments compared to the conventional mortgage with PMI. You will save a total of $2158.32/year. That’s 1 mortgage payment per year! You will save more than $10,790 in payments over 5 years.
If you have lower credit scores (less than 680), you may want to consider the FHA option (Option 3). Even though you have the upfront MIP, your overall monthly payment will be just a little higher than the conventional mortgage with PMI (Option 1) because the interest rate is less, and the monthly MIP is less. In this case, you will save $149.84 month in payments compared to the conventional mortgage with PMI (Option 1), for a total of $1798.08/year. That’s about 1 mortgage payment per year! You will save more than $8,990 in payments over 5 years.
Now, some people will say over the course of 30 years, the higher interest rate mortgage will result in more payments. That’s true. It will. But, how many people will stay in their current mortgage over the course of 30 years? Not many. Most people will refinance or sell their current home and buy another in 4 – 7 years.
Others will say that when the principal balance of the existing mortgage is less than 78% of the original balance of the note, the PMI has to be eliminated by law. That’s also true. But, do you know how long it will take to get to that point? It will take 157 months. That’s more than 13 years! Can you wait that long?
Finally, others say that when you can show at least 20% equity in the home, you can apply to the lender for the removal of PMI. That’s also true. Let me ask you this: How long will it take in today’s real estate market for your house to increase in value while at the same time your principal balance drops to the point where you will have 20% equity? 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? If houses appreciate at a rate of 3% per year (which, by the way, is NOT happening in most areas today), it will take you 5 years in this case to see 20% equity in your house. Your house will have to be worth at least $341,000 in 5 years as your remaining mortgage principal balance will be $272,770. Hmmm. Do you want to take that chance?
Conclusion
When comparing mortgages, don’t just shop rates. Also compare the total monthly mortgage payments on the loan programs both with PMI and without PMI. Also compare both programs with the FHA program to see which will result in the lowest overall monthly payment. And be sure to weigh all options before selecting the mortgage program that’s right for you. I sincerely hope these tips and ideas are of value to you. For more information about mortgages, or if there is any way I can be of service, please don’t hesitate to give me a call. I’d consider it a privilege to be of service to you!

Hardships Faced With Bad Credit Remortgage Finance
Filed Under Finance | Comments Off
John Preest asked:
Many mortgage companies are very wary of providing finance to people with bad credit or no money of their own. A adverse mortgage lender helps people who have a low credit score, low income, etc.
A remortgage is basically a secured loan and this secured loan signifies benefits even with a low credit score. The interest rate and repayment terms are flexible and amount borrowed can be more than imagined. But the customer must be honest and sincere while reporting bankruptcies and foreclosure to avail maximum benefits of enhanced credit scores and furthering the case.
Sub prime remortgaging is not very easy to choose. It is the last option to resort to if the customer has been labelled bankrupt or been involved in legal proceedings.
The perils of bad credit are unlimited. Thus, adverse credit remortgages brings with it increased interest rates. These interest rates could be

Choosing the Right Lender
Filed Under Finance | Comments Off
Leo Sheppler asked:
The importance of choosing the right mortgage lender for you should not be over looked. Choosing the right lender is just as important as which loan you choose. Picking the right lender can mean a huge difference in saving you time, anxiety and possibly $1000′s over the life of your mortgage. The good news is that finding the right mortgage lender for you does not need to be all that complicated. You just need to look around a little and gather information from reputable sources. Remember the mortgage terms, rates, points and fees can vary a great bit between lenders.
While most mortgage seekers automatically think of the traditional mortgage sources, banks, credit unions and so on there is another option that can be explored. Mortgage brokers don’t lend money in the traditional sense of the word. What mortgage brokers do is the brokers usually have contacts with several different mortgage lenders. The brokers work to match the mortgage seeker with the right mortgage and mortgage lender. They can quite often have greater insight into who the good lenders are in your area. Another option that is worth pursuing is online mortgage brokers and providers. Quite often you can save a time and effort since most good online mortgage brokers will have most is not all of their offerings listed on one page so you can compare and chose easily. You can also submit one application and have several mortgage lenders reply with mortgage offers at once saving you time over having to contact each lender.
So now you have several offers, now what? Which do you chose? Among some of the best sources of information on good lenders are coworkers, friends, and family members. If they recently got a mortgage ask them how the company they used treated them, how much were the fees, and how easy were the documents to understand and so on. Which ever source you use be sure to get the important information, such as what the APR will be, the fees, the interest rates, as well as their other policy’s. Remember when talking to mortgage lenders don’t be afraid to ask questions. Want them to break down their fees and explain them to you? Ask them, a good lender will take the time to make sure you are fully satisfied with the mortgage before you need to sign any papers.

Home Equity Mortgage – 4 Tips That You Should Follow Closely
Filed Under Finance | Comments Off
Julian Lim asked:
A home equity mortgage in today’s marketplace is more difficult to locate, but still not impossible. Determining when the right time to make such an effort is more complicated. The number of reasons for obtaining such a mortgage is as varied as the people who are looking for mortgages. Although hindsight is always better than foresight, picking the right time to take advantage of the equity in your home by taking out a mortgage is more likely when you understand the factors of the loans and determine whether or not you should take out the loan.
When Rates are Low
When you are looking for the perfect time to obtain a home equity mortgage, it seems like a logical assumption to pick a time for acquiring the mortgage when the rates are at their lowest. Obviously, you are never going to be certain the rate is as low as it will ever be. However, if the rates are not much higher than the best credit loans, it may be a good time to apply for your new equity loan. When rates are low overall, you will certainly pay less than if you were to acquire the same loan when interest rates are higher.
When Housing Prices Dip
Looking for a home equity mortgage when the prices on houses dip is another way to save money on your mortgage. Of course, it is impossible to know when the prices are at their lowest point, but if you are watching the housing market, you will get a feel for small movements in the market. You can take advantage of these dips in order to save a little money on the price of your mortgage. Sometimes there is a steady movement in one direction or the other with housing prices. You will still be able to pick up a better price by watching for the small dips in the market.
When You Outgrow Your Present Home
Getting a home equity mortgage when you are in the situation where you have outgrown your present home makes a lot of sense. The right time to get a new mortgage in this instance is to do so when you are ready to make the move to larger quarters. You may also choose to improve the value of your existing property by renovating the home and replacing dated features. This type of mortgage provides you with the cash value of the equity of your home. Even if the space is just barely adequate, you can always find a balance amount.
When you Move
Finally, a home equity mortgage may be a good idea when you move. Finding a home that has a large amount of equity means you don’t have to go to an outside loan for the cash you need. Instead, you take out cash from the equity of your home. The money can be used to get housing improvements made, to add additional living space or to purchase furnishings that are known for credit cleansing.
