Mortgage 101
By Dan Wright
Let's face it, not everyone has enough money on his bank account to buy a house. If you are an average American, chances are you need a mortgage loan. There are many types of mortgages and these can be classified into 2 categories. These are conventional and governmental loans. Mortgages from both categories can be further categorized as fixed rate loans, adjustable rate loans and different hybrids or combinations from these mortgage loans.
The US government provides mortgages which can be found from three government departments. These are the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and The Rural Housing Service (RHS) of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Aside from these, other mortgage plans for low cost to moderate housing plans are also available in different cities, states and counties. Most of these provide fixed rate mortgages and low interest rates. Mortgage plans that are not included among these are under conventional mortgages. There are 2 kinds of mortgage under this category. These are conforming mortgage loans and non-conforming mortgage loans.
Conforming mortgage loans follow the guidelines and conditions that were set up by 2 stock-holder owned corporations: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These two companies purchase mortgage loans from lending institutions and package these into securities that are then sold to investors. Both organizations set guidelines on down payments, suitable properties, loan amounts, borrower credit and income requirements on mortgages. And every year, loan limits for persons applying for their first mortgage are made known. To see their tables for loan limits, interest rates, and other information, visit the Fannie Mae (www.fanniemae.com) and Freddie Mac(www.freddiemac.com) websites.
There are also other mortgage loans available in the market. These non-conforming loans include: Jumbo loans and B/C loans. Jumbo mortgage loans are those that are above the maximum loan established by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. It is a kind of mortgage that has a higher interest than conforming loans because loans are acquired and bought in lower degree. B/C mortgage loans, on the other hand, refer to plans that are offered to persons who have borrowed mortgage loans earlier but have filed for foreclosure and bankruptcy. This is also for borrowers who have had a record of late payments.
As mentioned earlier, conventional and

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?
governmental mortgages can be classified into fixed rate mortgage and adjustable mortgage. From the term "fixed rate", fixed rate mortgage loans are those whose monthly payments remain fixed over the period of the loan. There are so many kinds of these ranging from 10 - 30 years but the more popular terms for mortgage are 15 and 30. You should note that a shorter mortgage period assures you a smaller interest to pay. If you want to avail of mortgage loans where monthly payments can change periodically, then you could choose a plan under adjustable rate mortgages. The interest in this type of mortgage loan changes depending on the type of index made to the interest rate. Some of these indexes include Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT), Prime Rate, Certificate of Deposit Index (CODI) , 12-Month Treasury Average (MTA), Cost of Savings Index (COSI), Certificates of Deposit (CD) Indexes, Treasury Bill (T-Bill), 11th District Cost of Funds Index (COFI), London Inter Bank Offering Rates (LIBOR) and Fannie Mae's Required Net Yield (RNY).
The Internet is a rich source for information on mortgage and so many companies offer online resources and services for those who want to avail of these loans. But before choosing the right type of mortgage there are some considerations you have to think about such that your mortgage plans will work out with your financial objectives. These are: -The amount you can pay monthly for the mortgage -How much you can pay for down payment -How long you plan staying on the house -Consider if you plan to make extra principal payments -And since mortgages take over long periods of time to cover, it is also important that you consider the stability of your income.
