Mortgage Calculator or Amortization Table?
Filed Under Ssn | Leave a Comment
Karen Kirby asked:
Both a mortgage calculator and an amortization table can be used to find out the monthly payment required on the property you would like to buy, but they approach the calculation differently.
Although they have similar functions, the mortgage calculator and the amortization table each have their own place in your mortgage control system.
Mortgage calculators range from ones that calculate a simple loan, to those that can work out exactly how much you can afford, to those that will determine how much you can borrow for a home loan depending on your current situation. Mortgage calculators are a good way for you to get a general idea of what you need.
An amortization table, on the the other hand, is an extensive spreadsheet of every detail of each type of loan, length of loan, interest rate, and many other factors that can confuse a novice.
A mortgage calculator may not give you as much information as an amortization table, but it may present basic information clearer and quicker. Once you have a good idea what you want in a loan, then an amortization table can help you delve deeper into the long-term ramifications of the loan.
They can be used separately, but their strength lies in a combination of both to enable a closer watch of the financial picture of your mortgage.

No Income Verification Mortgage That Uses 95% of Your Equity Can Help You!
Filed Under Dirt | Leave a Comment
Gressly Stevens asked:
When you have a need for cash whether it be to improve your home, pay off debts, or any other very important reason and you need it fast you can use what is known as a no income verification mortgage. You can get up to about 95% of the value of your home in a refinance and usually you can negotiate the points and the fees to help you get more cash out for whatever it is you need.
This is the type of loan that will work in a specific way that is much different from those that are regular mortgages. A regular mortgage takes time because you have to fill out forms, submit documents, and do many other things. With a mortgage that does not require any verification of income you can get it all done much faster.
The no income verification mortgage is one that you can get and have funded by the end of the week. The one thing that takes the longest with this type of loan is to get an appraisal done so that you know what your home is worth. This can be done in a matter of two days, then the mortgage can be put together and signed on the third day. You will have a 3 day rescind period before you can get your cash, but that is all it will take.
This is the right type of loan for those that need to get money and they need it fast. It also works great if you struggle to prove all of your income because you get specific tax breaks or make a lot of cash for your income and cannot prove it all. This is a great way to make sure you can get the mortgage you need and fast.

How much interest is usually charged when doing a land contract versus mortage?
Filed Under Renting & Real Estate | 3 Comments
future dr.t (IM) asked:
What interest rate would be expected for a home selling for 79,500 with 10,000 down? The contract would be for 25 years with payments of 700/month. The other possibility is that the contract would be written for 5 years with payments of 700/month with a balloon due at the end of the contract. I believe this makes the interest around 11% and this seemed rather high.
If you chose to do the balloon payment, how much would you have to come up with at the end of the five years?

Death and Mortgages
Filed Under Names | Leave a Comment
Juliette Van Rooyen asked:
The last thing that you want to worry about when you’re getting to the stage in your life when you are at the end of your life is a mortgage. Having something of that magnitude hanging over your head when you are lying on your “death bed” is unpaid debts or an unpaid mortgage. The length of your mortgage used to make this pretty much impossible, but as the length of mortgage terms has been forced to increase by market pressure, this is becoming ever more probable. For those people who bought a house after their twentieth birthday this is becoming ever more of a possibility as mortgages over fifty years in length becomes offered by more and more lenders.
The years where you are supposed to relax and enjoy are likely to become increasingly burdened by stress as the poor financial decisions made in youth come back to haunt you and your family. The last thing any person wants to do is leave their surviving family with debt and unpaid mortgages. The sky rocketing increase in house prices is making it more and more likely that survivors are going to be left with the responsibility to repay the mortgage that remains unpaid. The alternative to this is to acquire a mortgage so early in life that you can repay it before you retire and then get to enjoy your “golden years” without that stress.
The most common reason why people will suffer under the burden of a mortgage until the end of their lives is compound interest. This makes it harder and harder to repay the original mortgage and prolongs the period over which the mortgage is paid. The problem is that many people are being posed the situation that buying a house is completely out of reach without opting for an “intergenerational mortgage.” This then passes the burden squarely to those people who survive the people who took out the loan initially. This is unlikely to be in everyone’s best interest.
The longer the term you choose to maintain the mortgage for, the greater sum you end up paying to the lender. Even a difference in the length of your mortgage that is as small as a couple years can make startling amounts of difference for the mortgage holder. It also increases the length of time where stress is placed on the people who are repaying the mortgage. This pressure can more than counteract the benefits that people enjoy as a result of owning their own home. No one wants the last thing they say before they die to be “Don’t forget to pay the mortgage.”

Short Sale Second Mortgage – How To Get Out Of Two Mortgages At The Same Time
Filed Under Closing Costs | Leave a Comment
Richard Geller asked:
Is a mortgage short sale possible if you have not one mortgage company to deal with, but two?
I am the developer of the Mortgage Relief Formula home study course. In my work I receive hundreds of questions from homeowners who owe more than their house is worth and cannot afford to continue making the payments. They want to avoid foreclosure appearing on their credit and they also want to do the right thing under the circumstances.
A mortgage short sale beats foreclosure both from the homeowner’s viewpoint and from the perspective of a mortgage lender. If you cannot pay on a mortgage, the bank would rather get partial payment of the mortgage, and not get your house back.
They can in fact deal with getting your house back because they are set up for it. But when they get a house back they must add it to their already bulging inventory. They must insure it. They have to fix it up. They have to put it on the market and sell it. They are selling into the same terrible market that you are facing.
But, a mortgage short sale helps the lender get partial payment on your mortgage and avoid getting your house.
Let’s recap what this type of sale is. It’s when you sell your house for less than the mortgage. The lender approves the sale and the lender collects the proceeds from the buyer, whatever is left at closing after paying closing costs and real estate broker commissions and so forth. They mortgage lender releases the mortgage so the transaction can close.
The mortgage company now has a financial loss. They may pursue you for that financial loss, which they can sometimes do through a civil court proceeding. Sometimes they cannot pursue you at all because state law prevents them from doing so. And sometimes you can negotiate with the home loan lender before the sale goes through, and they will agree in writing not to come after you for their financial losses.
But be that as it may, the question we are addressing is how you can do a sale that yields only partial payment of your first mortgage, if you have a second mortgage and not just a first mortgage?
What people forget is that even if they do a sale of their house, the loans go with the house so if they deed their house to someone else, the loans stay in place. A sale of a house does not affect the loans on that house.
The reason a short sale works is that the lender agrees to release their claim on the house at the closing table. So the new buyer can get the house free from your crushing mortgage. But if you have two mortgages such a sale is much more complicated. The buyer will want to be free of both your first and second mortgage.
That makes it twice as complicated.
Because if the first mortgage lender agrees to the sale even though it will not pay off the first mortgage, that isn’t enough. The house will be sold and still have a second mortgage on it.
A foreclosure sale, on the other hand, wipes out all the loans on the property. The lender who forecloses may get the property back through their “credit bid”. That is, if nobody bids higher than the balance on the loan including all delinquent payments and fees, the lender gets the house back. If someone bids higher, they will get the house.
Either way, all the junior loans are extinguished in the foreclosure sale. A foreclosure sale results in a transfer of title through a trustee’s deed or sherriff’s deed. A trustee’s deed or sheriff’s deed transfers title to either the lender, or the high bidder if there is a party that outbids the lender. And with that foreclosure deed, the junior loans are wiped out. So junior loans are not an issue in a foreclosure and in fact a lot of houses go through foreclosure in order to wipe out the junior loans.
But what if you want to avoid foreclosure through a short sale process, in order to help your credit and the lender? And what if you have junior loans?
There is a way to do it. Actually three ways.
Is the second mortgage a piggyback loan? Sometimes the lenders who made the first mortgage also made the second. Maybe they can allocate the short sale proceeds to release both loans.
Or, you may be able to buy out the second. They are in a position where they will get nothing at this point. If you can offer them a nickel on the dollar of debt, or a dime, maybe they will take it. That assumes you have a bit of cash. But it may not take much. After all they are already prepared to be wiped out. If you do a deal like this, make sure you get the arrangement in writing including how they will report to the credit bureaus (you want to avoid foreclosure appearing there) and also that they will not go after you any more — this is full payment of the second mortgage and forever wipes clean that debt.
And there is a third option for most folks who do not have cash to buy out the second mortgage.
This third option is doing a deal with the second mortgage holder: They will release the second mortgage in order to allow the short sale to go through. In return, you will sign a note for a percentage of that loan.
Such a note is a personal loan, an unsecured loan, and would be dischargeable in bankruptcy. But if you can manage the payments this is a good outcome for all concerned compared to the alternatives. Remember that if they get wiped out, the second mortgage holder can still come after you in civil court but by signing a note you make it cheaper for them and either way, something is better than nothing.
These three options are the best ones to consider if you want to do a short sale and avoid foreclosure, but have a second mortgage on the property. I would always recommend you consult a good lawyer to help you and best of luck.

Hi there, I was wondering, I currently have two mortages, and 80/20 since I had no down payment. My 80 10 year interest is fixed at 6.125% and my 20 30 year fixed is at 8.25%. I don’t want to refinance and pay all closing costs, but could I call my mortgage company and work a better deal with the way the market is. I have a stable job and always pay on time.

Atlanta Mortgage Rates
Filed Under Equity Line | Leave a Comment
Jimmy Sturo asked:
Based on interest rates, Atlanta Mortgages can be divided into two types namely fixed rate and adjustable rate loan. In the case of a fixed rate loan, a monthly payment including the principal and the interest will never change for the duration of the loan.
These types of mortgages are available for different maturity periods ranging from biweekly to 30-year. The rate of interest also increases with the increase in the maturity period of the loan.
Adjustable rate mortgages offer an introductory rate of interest in the beginning for a fixed time period and later an adjusted rate based on the market index rate. The rates of interest of these mortgages fluctuate with market rates of interest on securities like the six-month Certificate of Deposit (CD), the one-year Treasury Security or others. Adjustable rate mortgages have a lifetime cap which protects the borrower from the monthly payment going too high too fast. The interest payments under adjustable rate mortgages are lower than those under fixed rate mortgages.
In Atlanta, mortgage rates differ throughout the city-and throughout Georgia. Generally rates range from 4 to 6 percent. For instance, the 30-year mortgage holds an interest rate of 5.3 percent in the case of Metro Atlanta’s best home mortgages. A borrower can find plenty of useful information via online research directories.
A mortgage calculator gives you an idea as to how much a borrower has to pay every month for a home loan. Information required for using the mortgage calculator are the amount of the loan, the expected interest rate, which is an estimate based on current interest rates, and the period of loan.
