Mortgage Loans Come In Many Varieties
By Dan Wright
The undertaking of making your first home purchase can be one that is both stressful and even intimidating. There are so many different aspects to consider before choosing the right home, so much paperwork to wade through, and there is often a sense of bewilderment in not knowing exactly what is coming next. One of the key parts of a buying a home is securing the mortgage loans and that process in and of itself can be quite daunting.
The task of getting a mortgage loan is made even more challenging because of the various options that people have for mortgage home loans. It is important in the process of home-buying to obtain a clear understanding of the various types of mortgages that are available and to know the different benefits and risks associated with each type of home financing. In order for a person to truly have confidence that the choice they are making in mortgage loans is the best for them is to learn about the mortgage industry and the various options that are available to the home buyer. The following few paragraphs outline some of the major points to be aware of when choosing a loan and a clarification of the differences between the loans that are adjustable and the loans that have a fixed-rate.
With loans that are commonly referred to as "fixed-rate mortgages," the amount of interest charged does not change at all during the life of the loan, which is typically 15 to 30 years in duration. This in turn means that the monthly mortgage home loan payments, which include the interest and principal, will stay the same. This helps the homeowner to effectively budget for their mortgage payments regardless of what happens in the mortgage market. During periods when mortgage loan rates are trending upward, fixed-rate home mortgage loans can be the best option because the interest rate is "locked in." This protects the borrower from future rate hikes and means that they will not be subject to the fluctuations in the mortgage market.
Adjustable-rate home mortgage loans are commonly referred to as "ARMs" and the interest rate that is charged on these loans is periodically adjusted based on the market and financial indexes. The best time to choose adjustable rate home mortgages is when the mortgage rates are falling but you don't want to wait until they bottom out before you purchase your home. There are a number of different types of adjustable-rate mortgage loans on the market and selecting one with the terms that best meet your needs can also be rather tricky. Not only do you need to take into consideration the direction that the mortgage market is headed, you also need to have an idea of what your income levels will be in the future.
One of the most popular types of adjustable rate home mortgage loans is what is referred to as the 10/1 adjustable rate mortgage. With this setup, the loan rates are fixed for the first ten years of the mortgage home loan. At the start of the eleventh year, the interest rate on the loan will be adjusted to reflect the current

Credit card balances reported just once a month
Are my credit card balances/payments reported to EQ/TU/EX just once a month or are the balances daily updated with the CRA?
Withdraw 401k - gift??
I was told by someone that you cannot withdraw money from your 401k because it will show as gift money. Is that true?
Negative impact on my credit score
I can understand that the banks cannot collect money on someone who has filed chapter 7. But if the bank wants to take back the property in the enforcement of the lien, they must file foreclosure proceedings against the home. Being that the foreclosure goes into the public records, and ones FICO score has public records included in the report will that foreclosure be scored and reported and still have a negative impact on my credit score?
Refinance auto loan
I refinance my auto loan and got a better rate and saved 200 dollars per month. My biggest question is why would the lender pull my credit due to a refinance with another lender?
Dispute with CRA?
I have been into repairing my credit for quite sometime now!! In the meanwhile, I had pulled my husband's credit so that we can have a look at it and accordingly plan for our home purchase in the coming few months. On his credit reports it shows some of the open accounts being paid late and they were. At this point do we try dispute it with the CRA's or do send out a goodwill letter to the OC? Any advice would be appreciated.
cosignor filed bankruptcy
Hello all,
I'm curious is my cosignor is allowed to claim a chapter 13 on our home without my knowledge. I've heard he's not allowed to do that. We are also going through a short-sale right now. When he filed for bankruptcy, it voided our shortsale which WAS supposed to close in four days. So, I am confused on how he could file for bankruptcy and include our home without my consent. Maybe it is possible...I'm just looking for answers to continue our shortsale. It may be possible t...
mortgage/deed situation
i have been deed owner to a property since 1998, never on the mortgage, or loan. In 2006 i did not qualify for a mortgage to remove my x husband, so i added a friend to the deed to get a mortgage. 3 yrs ago the friendship went sour and we quick claimed the deed to my name only, the mortgage remained in the friends name. if the mortgage goes into default at this time, do i have a legal obligation as the deed owner?
Settling a second mortgage
I had a settled a second mortgage. I stated to them that I wanted a letter that it was paid in full and get a full release on the lien. Now, I have received the letter in the mail which says that the loan has been paid in full, release of lien etc. But I also received a 1099 in the mail, do I have to claim this on my taxes as income even though I received a paid in full letter?
fluctuations in the market. Depending on how the market has changed this could mean that your payments will increase or decrease. Each year after that and until the mortgage is fully repaid or you take out a refinance loan, the interest rate and your payment will continue to change in accordance with the market and the terms of the loan.
The best adjustable rate home mortgages will also have a rate cap so that the interest loan rates cannot jump up more than a certain percentage. For instance, if you had an ARM with a yearly cap of 1%, then that is the most it can go up, even if the overall rates in the mortgage industry had gone up more. While the 10/1 adjustable rate mortgage is popular because it gives a new homeowner ten years before having to worry about their payments increasing, there are also adjustable mortgage loans that offer many other terms. Some will be fixed for five years, then change each year after that.
Still other adjustable mortgages are fixed for only one year and the rate is adjusted every six months. The best advice is to find a rate and terms that you are comfortable with, but also to make sure that you fully understand how a rate change can affect your monthly payment. In the long-run it might be better to choose an adjustable rate mortgage home loan that has a slightly higher interest rate to start out with but that is adjusted infrequently. Many people have gotten into financial difficulty by committing to an adjustable home financing arrangement that started out with very low loan rates but which quickly became unaffordable because of frequent increases in their interest rate.
If you are not sure about how the changes in interest rates in the mortgage market could impact your monthly mortgage payment, then you should consult with an accountant who can review the terms of the mortgage loans and give you specifics about how your payments might vary. It is a good idea to choose a home mortgage based on the long term ramifications rather than trying to get the best deal that might turn into a financial trap in just a couple years.
