Second Mortgage

You can call a few mortgage companies and ask for a rate and it’s a huge mistake and a total waste of your time.

Every mortgage quote, every situation is different. How long are you keeping the loan? How long are you staying in your home? What are your long-term goals? What about income? Do you qualify? You might think you do, but to continue using the doctors as an example, I actually had a doctor making over $300,000 a year he’s got to qualify for income right? No, he didn’t qualify.

There are different factors that determine the rate, but basically interest rates are a function of risk.

The risk that the investor will not get paid back. (This is why D credit mortgages cost more than A credit mortgages.) This is why adjustable-rate mortgages are cheaper than fixed-rate mortgages. (The further you lock in a rate, the more expensive it is.) Read the rest of this entry »

Firt thing you need to watch closely is the interest rate which is the main variable.

When comparing loans, you obviously want the lowest interest rate available. However, the interest rate has to be considered as a single variable and compared with the rest of them before selecting a loan. You may get a lower interest rate, but yet, a more expensive loan due to fees and costs.

Variable interest rates are typically lower than fixed interest rates but may turn to be higher over time if market conditions worsen. You can always refinance your loan, get better rates and change between fixed or variable rates but be aware of penalty fees. Read the rest of this entry »

The borrower requests a fixed amount of money and the monthly payments consist only on interests on the principal.

The principal is not reimbursed to the lender till the end of the loan term. Thus, monthly payments are low but at the end of the loan duration, the principal has to be repaid in full.

There are variations of this kind of loan where after a certain period of time the interest only installments turn into “principle & interest” installments and thus the principal is also returned in monthly payments.

In any case, the amortization of the loan is delayed either till the end of the loan term or till a certain amount of interest only installments have been made. Read the rest of this entry »

If the loan is secured with the house, the lender has the legal right of repossession. Thus, there is a real risk of losing the property if an unexpected event turns the loan’s monthly payments into an unbearable burden. Read the rest of this entry »

If he chooses not to do so, the contract ends or it can be renewed by replacing the leased asset with a new one. It’s widely used for cars and business equipment. Read the rest of this entry »
