Calculate mortgage

What is the first thing you will have to know before taking your future mortgage???
A couple of thinks pop in my mind in the first place and most of them is scary, but pure necessity for survival sometimes will crush that fear but none the less you should always be aware that you CAN and WILL lose your home if you don't pay your rate on time.

Sometimes it will be difficult to maintain your monthly budget so you will need to be extra careful on setting your mortgage rate and keep in mind that your incomes may grow in the future but also it can shrink (there is a solution if that happens).

Before you set your mortgage rate and take more money than you can return you should:
1. Sum all of your income
2. Sum all of your expenses (including all of your indulgences like going out, smoking etc.)
3. Then subtract the last from the first (1-2) to get an approximately amount of money you can spend on a mortgage (don't forget to include a disaster fond, for any unpredictable expenses)
4. NEVER raise that number if you can not support it (exceptionals are getting a raise or getting more steady income) and NEVER spend that money on other things (if you calculated it in the first place you would not need to spend it either)

After deciding what amount of cash you can afford on a monthly basis you are (AND ONLY THEN) ready to go to the bank and decide (yes, more deciding) what type of mortgage to take and what type of a mortgage can you take in the first place because there are many factors that are involved when a bank is deciding for what type of a mortgage you are eligible.

On the Internet you can find a lot of programs and sites that can help you with calculating your home budgets and even calculating how much mortgage you have to pay of (especially god before taking a 2nd mortgage).

Don't forget to check other 2nd mortgage info's like what can you do if your home budget shrinks or some secrets about 2nd mortgage.

2nd Mortgage

A 2nd mortgage may be one of the best financial moves you will ever make. If you know what it is and how it works, you can use it to generate money for profitable investments, simplify your debts and beef up your credit score. The key to taking advantage of a 2nd mortgage is understanding how it works.

A 2nd mortgage is a loan that uses the equity in your home as collateral. When you avail of a 2nd mortgage loan, you are technically putting a second mortgage lien on your title without refinancing or changing the terms of your first mortgage.

A 2nd mortgage is considered a simple interest loan because unlike other major loan vehicles, it has a fixed interest rate. This fixed interest rate is based on a number of factors such as the current market rate of your home, the prevailing interest rates and your personal credit history. You can choose terms that vary from five years to 25 years, depending on your capacity to pay and other cash flow considerations.

Many people turn to 2nd mortgages to consolidate their debts they pay their credit cards, loans against insurance and other high-interest loans with the money they borrow from a 2nd mortgage. Experts say that the fixed interest rates of 2nd mortgage allows you to save up to three times more than you would if you are paying minimum payments on your credit cards. And, since the interest in a 2nd mortgage is amortized yearly, you don t have to pay daily compound interests that credit cards charge.

Best of all, a 2nd mortgage actually gives you a tax break the interest you pay on this type of loan may be tax deductible up to $100,000 of the loan amount, or 100% loan to value.

Home Refinancing 101

by Robert Pinzhoffer

To Refinance Your Home means getting a new mortgage and using some or all of the proceeds to pay off the old mortgage - even bad credit refinance, poor credit refinance or fair credit refinance. Homeowners may home refinance their mortgage for several reasons:

To take advantage of lower interest rates and lower your monthly payment. If interest rates have gone down since you got your original mortgage, you could save money over the life of your loan, while reducing your monthly mortgage payment.

To switch mortgage types. You may want to switch from a variable to a fixed interest rate, or vice versa. If you have a balloon/reset mortgage, you must either pay the mortgage in full at the end of the 5- or 7- year term, contact your Service Provider (the organization to which you send your monthly mortgage payments) to start procedures to reset your mortgage to a fixed-rate of interest, or refinance with a new mortgage.

To shorten mortgage terms. You may want to refinance to shorten the term of your loan. This would allow you to pay less interest over the life of the loan because the money is borrowed for a shorter period of time, and more quickly builds up equity in your home.

To get "cash out." Some lenders will let you borrow more money than the balance of your original mortgage, based on the equity you have in your home. A portion of the money left after the original mortgage is paid off goes to you to use for things like paying for a child's education or home remodeling. However, remember that you'll have a new mortgage, at a higher amount, that will eventually need to be paid off.

Home Refinance Programs:

Fixed Rate Loans - Both interest rate and payment remain the same over the term of the loan. Loans can be amortized over the following terms: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40 years. The advantage of a fixed rate program is that it allows you to get a fixed rate, over a specified period, without being concerned about market fluctuations. This type of financing is recommended for borrowers who intend to stay in their house for a long period of time.

Fixed Rate Balloons - Both interest rate and payment remain the same until the loan is due. Typically, the entire loan amount is due in either 3, 5, or 7 years. The advantage of balloon programs is that they tend to have the lowest rates, due to the fact that the entire balance must be paid off or refinanced at the end of the term. This type of financing is recommended for borrowers who know they will be leaving their current house in either 3, 5, or 7 years.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) - Both interest rate and payment remain the same for a fixed time period, usually 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 years. At the end of that period the rate can rise at fixed intervals. The amount the rate can rise, or margin, is predetermined (normally 1/2% to 2% per rise). The intervals are normally 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. Typically there is a cap on the margin, which determines the highest the rate could ever go. The advantage of an ARM is that it allows you to get a lower rate, for a known period of time, while you watch the market to see if and when fixed rates get better. Some feel that although they may have gotten a better rate with a balloon, an ARM will adjust at the end of the "fixed period", whereas a "Balloon" has to be refinanced or paid in full. ARMs are recommended for those borrowers who intend to stay in their house for a fixed period and have taken the time to factor in the margin, to determine that they would not be better off with a Fixed Balloon or even a Fixed Rate.

Buydown - Both rate and payment remain the same for a fixed period, at the end of which, the rate and payment increase. The rate and payment may increase once, twice, or even three times, depending on whether the Buydown is a 1/1, 2/1, or 3/1. The percentage of increase, as well as number of increases is predetermined. Once all of the increases have occurred the new rate and payment remain fixed for the term of the loan. Also, lenders will typically charge a fee to "buy the rate down" for the first 1, 2, or 3 years of the loan. The advantage to a Buydown is that it offers a lower rate and payment during the first few years of the loan. Buydowns are recommended for those borrowers who are having trouble qualifying for a Fixed Rate Loan or those who need a more affordable payment at present.

Home Refinance Loan Types:

Conforming - Conforming loans refer to loan amounts that conform to government service standards as determined by Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac (the original government agencies, set up in the early 1940's, established to help people finance new homes). Conforming loans range in amount form $1 to $275,000. Although not all conforming loans are serviced by these government agencies, the mortgage industry has adopted the term to express loan amounts in this range.

Jumbo (Non-Conforming) - Jumbo loans refer to those loan amounts outside of the "conforming" range or, above approximately $300,000 (different from state to state.)

Government Loans - Government loans refer to those loans that are guaranteed by one of two federal agencies. The two types of government loans are: Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans, and Veterans Administration (VA) loans. The advantage of financing using FHA loans are that they are easier to qualify for and allow a borrower to finance more of the loan amount than non-government loans. Whereas with a Conforming loan a borrower may only be able to finance 80% of the loan amount, a FHA loan allows a borrower to finance 97% of the loan amount. FHA loans are recommended for those borrowers who are first-time buyers, have little money to put down, have a short credit history, or are having trouble qualifying for a Conforming loan. The two main advantages of financing using VA loans are that the VA allows borrowers to finance 100% of the loan amount, and that, the VA only requires proof of veteran status to qualify for the loan. The only drawback to government loans is that mortgage insurance is required at all loan to values (LTV), unlike Conventional and Jumbo loans where payment of mortgage insurance is determined by the amount of equity a borrower has in his home. WE ARE VA AND FHA FRIENDLY! See our FHA and VA Government-Backed Loans page.

Investment Properties (Non-Owner Occupied) - These types of homes are normally acquired specifically for investment purposes or are owned as a result of moving to a new house without selling or being able to sell the old house. Financing for investment properties can be achieved using any of the above described programs. Typically, the rates for financing on investment properties are higher than owner occupied homes and the LTV's allowed are lower, due to the fact that default rates tend to be higher on these types of loans.

B, C, D Credit - Just because your credit isn't perfect does not mean you can't obtain financing. Most, if not all of the above described programs can be utilized even if a borrower does not have perfect credit. In these cases the rates will be higher and LTV's allowed will be lower. Most lenders have special divisions specifically created for the marketing and sales of sub-prime products. Also, most lenders will offer special limited programs as incentives, when they recognize an area where there is a need.

No Document or Low Document Loans - In certain situations it is either difficult or impossible for potential borrowers to show a lender their income on paper. In these instances any of the above described programs can be used, but under circumstances called NIV or No Income Verification. All of the other program parameters must be met, however, in the case of income, a borrower may only be required to show a operating license or business license and/or limited income information. With this type of financing, rates offered tend to be slightly higher. This type of financing is recommended for self-employed borrowers or borrowers who have difficulty showing their income on paper, for one reason or another.

Cash-Out Refinances - Occasionally, when refinancing a first trust, a borrower wants to "cash out" some of the equity that has been built into the loan. Under specific conditions, established by the lender, a borrower can actually receive a check for an amount of money that meets those conditions. Cashing-Out is not normally limited to any type of loan program, it can be done with most of the described programs.

Top 5 Mistakes People Make When Refinancing Their Home

1. Choosing a home loan lender for the wrong reason (i.e., the lowest rate, your existing lender.)

People choose home loan lenders for all the wrong reasons. Getting a low rate is important, but it's not the only consideration. Lenders may offer the lowest rate but charge extra fees (loan fees, origination fees, copy fees) so that in the end you'll pay more for the refinanced home loan even though your rate may be lower. The only way to protect yourself is to wait for the Good-Faith Estimate (GFE) which should list all the closing costs. Compare the GFE's from a number of home loan lenders.

But comparing GFE's is not the only story when you want to refinance your home. If time is important, you want to choose a mortgage company that is capable of acting quickly. Ask each company to give you their average closing time for loans similar to yours.

Ask around among your trusted friends. Find out who refinanced lately and ask them what they thought of the company. Don't assume that your existing home loan lender is any better than a new lender. Since most home loans are sold in the secondary market, everyone has to meet certain criteria, and your existing lender will probably require the same documentation as a new lender. However, once you have a commitment from a new lender, it doesn't hurt to ask your existing lender to beat it. Often times they will. We will get you the best rate available.

2. Not getting everything in writing about refinancing your home loan.

Get everything in writing. No matter what the Loan Officer tells you, ask him to confirm it in writing. Don't believe someone when they tell you that your refinance rate is guaranteed. Get it in writing.

3. Not knowing the appraised value of your home.

Many people go ahead and try to refinance their home without knowing the true value. There are many places you can get an estimate of the true value of your home for purposes of refinancing. Many realtor sites have home value estimators on their site. For the price of listening to a mortgage company try to sell you a mortgage, you can get an approximate value for your home.

Check the recent sales in your neighborhood and try to find a comparable house in a comparable location. Or you can ask the appraiser to do a drive by and give you a verbal estimate of the value of your home. If it's in the right ballpark, you can order a thorough appraisal. Know the value of your home before you seek to refinance your home loan.

4. Not doing the math when refinancing your home loan.

Do the math. Refinancing your home has a cost. You need to see what the cost is, and then determine how long you are going to stay in your home. For example, if you are going to stay in your home for 5 more years, and the cost of refinancing your home is $5000, you need to save at least $1000 a year in order for the deal to make sense. If you only save $50 a month as a result of refinancing (that's $600 a year), you'll be loosing money.

5. Not considering a 2nd Mortgage.


When you refinance your home, you are refinancing the total amount. Suppose you have a home that is now worth $400,000, and you only owe $250,000 on the home and you want to take out $50,000. If you refinance and take out $50,000 in cash your new loan may be for $310,000, ($250,000 owed + $50,000 cash out + a total refinance cost of 3% or $10,000). It may be better to take out a 2nd mortgage for $50,000 and pay a slightly higher interest rate and slightly higher points, but only have a basis of $50,000 instead of the $310,000.

Recovering Bad Credit By Getting a 2nd Mortgage Refinance

One way you can start rebuilding your credit is to take advantage of a bad credit 2nd mortgage refinance. These are programs offered by many lending institutions and designed specifically to help those with bad credit obtain a mortgage refinance. Most people who find themselves in the position of needing a bad credit 2nd mortgage are those who are in a great deal of debt, and who wish to consolidate it. In this way, a bad credit 2nd mortgage refinance can help a person ease the debt burden and start to rebuild credit.

Debt consolidation with a mortgage refinance

It is possible for you to refinance your mortgage in order to consolidate your debt. When you do this, you take out a 2nd mortgage on your home, paying of the 1st mortgage and using left over cash (since your home likely has increased in value, and you have paid off some of your first loan) to consolidate your other debts. This can be quite useful in helping you lower your monthly payments and reduce the amount of money you pay each month on interest.

Boosting your credit score


If you do get a 2nd mortgage refinance with your bad credit, it is important to make every effort to make your monthly payments on time and in full. This is the only way that you will actually be able to improve your credit score. When you make regular payments of this nature, you are re-asserting your financial accountability and showing that you are improving in your habits of debt. This will help your credit score go up.

Looking for special programs

It is possible to find special programs offered for those with bad credit whom wish to get a 2nd mortgage. In such cases, you can take a look at local lending institutions and speak with loan representatives about the possibility of getting a mortgage refinance, even with bad credit. You will find that you can usually find someone who is willing to work with you. Getting a 2nd mortgage with bad credit is usually quite possible. However, you will have to resign yourself to the fact that you will likely have to pay a higher interest rate than if you had good credit. However, with continued on time monthly payments, you can recover your credit rating and enjoy lower interest rates.

2nd Mortgage Loans

If you are still confused about what a 2nd mortgage loan is and how you can use it to your advantage, you are literally losing money. Read this article and understand how you can benefit from a second mortgage it just might turn your finances around for the better.

A second mortgage loan is one of the two types of home equity loans.The other type is a home equity line of credit or HELOC. The main difference between the two is the total loan amount and how the loan is paid.

A 2nd mortgage works just like your first mortgage you have access to a set amount that you agree to pay on a set schedule. The equity you need to take out a 2nd loan mortgage varies from state to state. On the average, you need to have about 20 percent equity (but in some states, it may be lower).

How much is the interest rate? It depends on factors that you were also used to evaluate your first mortgage such as your credit history, the prevailing interest rates and the value of your home. Remember that the interest rate of a 2nd mortgage will be a little higher than the interest rate you are paying for a 30-year first mortgage. However, the interest in 2nd mortgages is tax-deductible. The terms run from five to 30 years.

You can use the money from a 2nd mortgage loan for home renovations, paying off student loans or for business. Small entrepreneurs are quick to turn to 2nd mortgage loans for business development opportunities.

7 Proven Strategies to Avoid a Foreclosure and Save your Home

by Steve Groom

If you or someone you know is headed toward foreclosure, or are already in foreclosure, you need to know your rights and options now. Only then can you save your house... save your credit... and save your equity before it's wiped out forever.

By Steve Groom

Foreclosure can mean the loss of your home, any equity in your home, your credit rating and your dignity. Foreclosure is a very public process, with your name listed in the public court records and then published in your local newspaper. Then, once you are ready to move on with our life, your foreclosure appears on your credit report for at least 7-10 years. In addition, all mortgage applications currently ask if you have EVER had a foreclosure. You'll have to check "Yes" for the rest of your life.

A foreclosure usually means that you won't be able to buy another house for several years unless you agree to the exorbitant interest rates of "Bad Credit' mortgages which can be twice the rate of regular mortgages.

But what if you've experienced a temporary hardship? Life is unpredictable and we all experience circumstances in our lives that are unforeseen and that are out of our control. Often times these circumstances can prevent us from making our monthly mortgage payments on time. Some of the issues contributing to delinquency include: * Job loss * Medical illness or injury * Divorce * Death in the family

If you have experienced one of these situations it can severely impact your ability to pay your mortgage obligation. If you have experienced a temporary setback, you may have several options available to you to stop foreclosure. Here are several proven strategies to avoid a foreclosure:

1. Mortgage Modification- most often used if you have experienced a permanent reduction in income and can't afford a repayment plan. In this case, the terms of the loan may be adjusted (the interest rate is lowered or the term is extended) so that monthly payments become affordable.

2. Forbearance Agreement- typically used if you have experienced a temporary hardship that is now over and you can resume making your regular payments. A popular option when you can't pay all of your past due mortgage payments at once. Here the lender agrees to move your delinquent payments to the back of the loan.

3. Repayment Plan- the preferred method of most lenders. Here the lender agrees to let you catch up the back payments by adding a portion of the past due amount to each current monthly payment until the account is current again. 4. Mortgage Refinance- you may elect to refinance your delinquent loan with your existing lender or a new lender if you faced a temporary financial setback, had good credit prior to the setback, and can prove that you can now support the new mortgage payment. Usually not an option in other situation unless you agree to very high interest rates.

5. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure- here you voluntarily convey the deed to your property back to the mortgage holder in order to prevent a foreclosure. By accepting the deed, the lender releases you from personal liability on the loan.

6. Sell your Home- you may choose to sell your house prior to the foreclosure auction. Lenders may postpone the foreclosure auction to allow you time to sell the home. If you are unable to work with your existing lender, or find a new lender, then it is time to get serious about selling. The longer you wait, the more likely you will need to sell your house quickly, most likely to an investor who will buy the house as-is and close quickly, but will pay less than fair market value.

7. Bankruptcy- filing bankruptcy will temporarily stop the foreclosure case. You can file anytime before the foreclosure auction. However, this should be your LAST option, NOT your first. Though it usually does not permanently end the foreclosure, it can interrupt the foreclosure procedure and buy you months or years without losing your property. Statistics have shown however, that approximately 85% of all Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings FAIL to permanently save a homeowner from foreclosure. This is because the reorganization arrangement typically requires the homeowner to make plan payments that are much higher than the original payments that they could not afford!

Bonus- here's 2 more! 8. Military Indulgence- if you are currently active in the U.S. military you are entitled to relief under the Soldiers' & Sailors' Civil Relief Act. Most lenders will not foreclose on you if you have been granted Military Indulgence.

9. Partial Claim Payment- there are a number of other programs available to you if your mortgage is FHA-insured. Under this program, HUD pays your lender the amount owed to bring your loan current. You then begin making your regular monthly payments. HUD records a 2nd mortgage against the property for the amount that they paid your lender. You do not have to pay the Partial Claim mortgage until you sell the house or the 1st mortgage is paid off.

In summary, the bottom line for stopping foreclosure is to know your rights and options; contact your lender and never ignore the lender's letters and phone calls; and most importantly, take action immediately. Ultimately, putting your head in the sand will not make it go away.

Different Ways To Get Out Of Unsecured Debts Like Credit Cards.

It seems that most Americans have over spent themselves or have had some type of hardship that has put them in debt. Health insurance is a whole other story, but so many people are stuck with overwhelming medical bills.

So how does one get out of debt, what are the options to pay off the bills you just can't afford?

Well it all depends on that persons situation. It will depend on how much debt and what type of debt that person has.

If you have under $8,000-10,000 there are a few options for you. If you have over $10,000 dollars in debt you have a few other options.

Then again it does matter what type of debt it is. If you have secured debts, taxes owed or some Government backed loan or only have a few options. But if your debts are unsecured credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, or repossessed auto loans you have quite a few options to get out of debt.

If your in the situation of over $10,000 in unsecured debts like credit cards, medical bills or personal loans you could do one of a handful of things like "do nothing", "pay them back", "file bankruptcy", "credit counseling", "debt settlement", "credit repair", "debt consolidation", or if a home owner "2nd mortgage".

If you "Do Nothing", well some of your debts mike "Charge Off" basically the creditors take them as a loss and it really hurts your credit FICO scores for many years afterwards. On the other hand, the creditors might try and sue you, if so, they might be awarded a "Judgment" and then they can "Garnish" your wages or income. Keep in mind that when this happens, only one creditor at a time can garnish your wages, so if you have multiple creditors, it could take many many years for you to pay them off and start to repair your credit. Judgments can stay on

You could just pay them back. If you can afford to double or triple your monthly payments to cover the minimum payment plus a lot towards your principal balance then you might be able to pay off your debts in a somewhat reasonable amount of years maybe 5 to 10 years. Or win the lottery, but those odds are in the hundreds of millions, so try not to rely on that. But anyone that can afford to pay their debts probably isn't reading this.

Then you could file bankruptcy, but that will ruin your credit your 7-10 years, and never leaves public-record. Meaning that if an employer or another creditor runs a background check they will see that you filed bankruptcy. You also have to involve attorneys to file your paperwork, that can be very expensive. On top of that they have changed the laws of bankruptcy making it much harder to qualify. Since the credit card companies starting loosing too much money they lobbied congress to change the laws and make it harder to just walk away from your debts, that way they safeguard there money from just being written off in someone's bankruptcy.

You could also look into credit counseling, but with over $10,000 your looking at a very long program that will have drastic effects on your credit scores since it basically ends up looking like a bankruptcy or charge-off. Since the credit counseling companies only negotiate your interest rate and not your dent amount it takes many many years to get the debts paid off. Plus these companies say they are "nonprofit" but they actually paid-for and sponsored-by the creditors themselves. So you can tell where their true interest lies.

Now credit repair is really better for people with less than $5,000 in debts. Those companies can help you find what debts should be paid first, which have the biggest effect, help you write letters to remove dents, and basically repair your credit. This is not very helpful with higher debt amounts.

A debt consolidation loan, you do have to qualify for and most of the time with collateral. You will need good "debt to income" ratio, and good credit to qualify. So most of the time this option is unavailable to most people. Since once the average person in in debt their "debt to income" ratio is way to low, and their credit scores are bad, not allowing them to qualify for the consolidation loan.

If the person is a home owner they could refinance, take out 2nd mortgage or even a Home Equity Line Of Credit (commonly called a HELOC). But why attached unsecured debts to your home? It's like taking short-term debt and turning into long-term debt. The debt won't go anywhere but stay as a lien against your home. Plus if in the future if you get into another hardship and you already used your equity, now you risk loosing your home to the bank.



People with over $10,000 in unsecured debts, their best option is normally "debt settlement". Since the program is normally under 3 years, and those companies actually negotiate your debt amount and can drastically lower your debt between 40-60% lower than what you owe. These program can have a very affordable monthly payment and can be less than 36 months long.

Second Mortgage Secrets

Everyone has heard of a 2nd mortgage at least once in their life! However, most people might not understand what a 2nd mortgage really is. A 2nd mortgage is one the more important tools in both commercial and residential real estate, and can raise much-needed funds for home owners.

The reason behind the idea of a 2nd mortgage is fairly simple. It means that you take a loan against the equity in your home the value not already loaned to you by your regular mortgage. Thus a 2nd mortgage releases capital to you, and is secured on your property just like your regular mortgage. Most financial institutions will have the ability to give 2nd mortgages from them when you need one. But you are someone that is looking to receive a 2nd mortgage on your property, you should always remember that you have many options about the type to get.

There are many good reasons why a person or couple would take out a 2nd mortgage. These can range from anything like consolidating existing debt to obtain a lower interest rat, or taking a 2nd mortgage in order to take the extra money to pay for something expensive or unexpected. This can be everything from paying for a child s college or to cover expenses while finding new employment. Common uses of a 2nd mortgage include building renovations, home improvements, buying a car or boat etc.

When taking a 2nd mortgage out on your home or business, you need to remember that the 2nd mortgage is secured on your property and thus if you cannot repay the loan, your property is at risk.
