Home Financing Tips For Buying a House

---

By R A Smith

If you are thinking about buying a home, one of the first things to do is find out what price range you can afford. Getting pre-approved for home financing can determine the maximum price and loan amount that you can get, based on your credit scores, income, and down payment. A mortgage pre-approval can save time and effort in your home search, and tells others that you are ready and able to buy a home.

Here's a Collection of Other Home Financing Tips:

Need flexibility on credit issues?

In addition to a low down payment, an FHA mortgage allows lower credit scores than conventional home financing. A bankruptcy only needs to be discharged for 2 years, and 3 years on a foreclosure.

Need payment choices for a tight budget?

Some lenders offers flexible mortgage terms with a 30 year fixed rate that gives you a payment choice each month for interest only or a fully amortized payment, which could help when money is tight.

Do you want an option for lower closing costs?

If you need to reduce your closing costs, you typically have the choice of decreasing the points by increasing the rate. Mortgage rates are priced to allow you to buy the interest rate up or down.

How long will you keep your mortgage?

If you plan to keep your mortgage for less than five years, you may be able to save money on your payments with a 5 year fixed rate plan. Also consider financing your home with zero points.

What debts are counted in your debt ratio?

Monthly debt payments are added to a mortgage to calculate a back-end debt ratio, including: credit card minimum payments, car loans, student loan, personal loan, alimony, child support, tax liens.

Are you required to have an impound account?

An impound account is money collected with the monthly loan payment to be set aside in reserve to pay property taxes and insurance. It's usually required on mortgages with less than 20% down payment.

Buying a condo with an FHA mortgage?

A condominium project must be FHA approved in order to get an FHA loan. If the project is not approved, the FHA spot loan program is designed to provide financing for an individual unit.

What about opening new credit accounts?

Applying for a new credit card, or financing the purchase of anything, just before or during the mortgage process can drop your credit scores, and lower credit scores can cause a higher rate or worse.

Are you planning a job or career change?

If you plan to make a job change, especially if the change involves commission or a different line of work, wait until after your new mortgage has funded, to avoid creating a potential problem.

Debt Consolidation Home Owner Loan

---

Debt Consolidation Home Owner Loan
By James Eccles

---

A debt consolidation homeowner loan is a secured loan, finance or a sum of money (usually large) that can be possibly secured against your house or another asset, i.e car. Because it is a secured loan it is also easier to attain with higher sums of money available, at lower rates with a higher approval rate, because it is safer for the bank to lend you the money i.e. secured.

Secured homeowner loans are generally preferred by the people seeking finance, as opposed to an unsecured lend, due to lower interest rates, so they are a lower cost to the borrower.

Debt consolidation home owner loan- how to get one?

There are many ways of getting a home owner loan for means of debt consolidation.

There are government organisations that you can speak to in every country to help in all matters of finance, another thing worth trying is checking to see if you are absolutely 100% liable for the debt, as at times it is possible that it is not completely your responsibility to pay the money back.

One way is to just try Google, and look for the search terms "Debt consolidation" or secured finance etc or you could try some of the branded firms like firstplus, or direct line etc, other than that there will be ads in your local newspaper or yellow pages, even the national tabloids, and TV adverts.

If it was a large sum of money you want, then you could also look into remortgaging to release some capital from your existing assets, to improve credit scores, try taking out a small loan and paying it off promptly to enhance credit scores.

Adjustable Home Loans Explained

---

By Corey T Bruhn

---

Adjustable home loans provided people with all credit grades the ability to buy homes or refinance their mortgages just a few short years ago. Adjustable home loans offered lower rates then a fixed rate loan and this helped people buy a little more house then they could afford with a fixed rate loan.

When The Adjustable Rate Mortgage Problems Started

When the real estate and credit markets started to slow and property values fall many people found themselves unable to refinance their ARM mortgage. This inability to refinance was the direct result of banks cutting loan programs for bad credit borrowers and property values falling.

Many borrowers were now facing ARM mortgages with rates and payments that were increasing to a point where they were not able to pay their payments. Foreclosures then started to happen at an alarming rate. If you are one of these borrowers the tips bellow can help you save your home.

What You Can Do If You Cannot Refinance Your ARM Mortgage

Today all the major lenders know that adjustable rate mortgages are the main reason people are losing their homes and the banks are losing money. To combat this many banks are now letting people modify their existing loan in order to make their mortgage more affordable and also more stable by making the ARM a fixed rate loan.

In most cases the lender will evaluate your current income and other assets to determine your ability to make the new payment amount. Generally they will want to see your debt to income ratios are 40-45%. Any higher and they my not modify your loan due to risk factors.

How Can I Figure My Debt Ratio

Your debt to income ratio can be figured by taking you monthly bills like credit card payments,car payment mortgage payments and property tax payments and dividing it by your gross monthly income. So if you had $800 in payments every month and made $2000 your debt to income would be 40% or 800/2000=.4 or 40%. Bills not figured into the equation are utility payments,phone bills and other similar expenses. Getting a loan modification for adjustable rate mortgages is not as hard as people think but keep in mind your lender is only going to modify loans that will be paid back.

Apartment Finance - How About Some Good News?

---

By Jeff Rauth

---

Apartment finance is weathering the current credit crisis nicely compared to other sectors of the commercial mortgage business. For example, owner occupied conventional mortgages are experiencing significant restrictions and loan requests above 60% loan to value, that do not fit the SBA guidelines have few, if any options.

In contrast, 80% financing on purchases and 75% loan to value on refinances, is still an option. Long term fixed rates, like five, ten year and even 30 year is available. Also, interest rates themselves are very low (2/10/09) as we are seeing low 6%'s and even high 5%'s for strong borrowers on these long term high rate. As a result many borrowers that went with floating conduit loans are now opting to refinance into long fixed rates due to concerns with where rates will go if inflation kicks in.

Apartment Finance

One of the main changes with multifamily finance is with underwriting going "global". Many veteran apartment owners will be unaccustomed to the additional scrutiny. Historically, most of the underwriting focused on the property itself, primarily in concern to the cash flow of the property. Better known as the debt coverage ratio, underwriting wanted to determine if the properties income could carry all of the associated expenses, and the proposed loan. That's essentially was the main focus.

Now however, underwriters also want to examine all of the borrower's income and expenses both personally and from other, none related businesses. What they are investigating is whether the borrower is above water on a cash flow basis, over the entire financial picture, including the subject property.

Most borrowers will put up with the additional "brain damage" as they really have no other choice with apartment finance. As the golden rule points out "he who has the gold, makes the rules". And besides just accepting it, the loan programs are still very attractive for the borrower.

Home Loans - Possible Hurdles and Solutions

---

By Agni Putra

---

A Home Loan is a long-term legal contract between a customer (home loan seeker) and the bank. Hence it is very important for a home loan seeker to be fully aware of all the legal terms and conditions that involve in the processing of a home loan.

A home-loan seeker may face several difficulties including certain legal issues in the processing of a home loan. He/she has to be very careful and must have a good knowledge of all the legal aspects pertaining to home loan processing. The following tips will greatly help you to educate yourselves in this regard and obtain a hassle-free home loan.

1. Home loans process starts with documentation.
Documents pertaining to a property are of great value and play a key role in completing the process. So, a home loan seeker must be very careful when submitting the documents to the bank. Never submit any fake or unclear documents that may create confusion or misguide the banks; banks have every right to take legal action against those who misguide them.

2. The details that you furnish in the application form should not include any discrepancy.
Banks make a careful study into these details, and if they find discrepancy, your application is certain to be rejected without any prior notice.

3. Retain all your receipts of the amount paid towards the credit card bills as banks may ask for the receipts of the payments once the details are found in CIBIL.

4. A panel of advocates will scrutinise the documents submitted by the home loan seeker.
They will obtain the search reports from the concerned sub-registrar office to find out the details of deeds and the vendors pertaining to that specific property. If they find any discrepancy in the documents, banks will ask the customer or vendor for clarification or for other supporting documents.

5. Property that the home loan seeker intends to acquire will be evaluated by technical valuers
If any find any deviations in the property, customer has to submit additional documents to support the deviations.

6. Upon completion of the entire process, vendor has to verify all his original documents with the bank official before disbursement of the loan, and the customer has to submit latest Encumbrance Certificate (EC) recording all transactions of the property in original.

7. Customer (home loan seeker) has to sign all the legal documents and the Home Loan Agreements in regard to the disbursement of the loan, and the property will be hypothecated to the bank till he/she repays the entire loan amount subsequent to the registration of the property. Customers are advised to carefully read the agreement copy before signing it.

8. If the customer fails to repay the loan, banks may appoint agents to collect the easy monthly instalments (EMIs) from the customer, and he/she has to co-operate with them.

9. If the customer gets defaulted, bank can seize the property to recover the loan amount; and once this happens he/she will be added into the defaulters list of the CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd).


Finally, it is advisable to take as less loan amount as possible so as to save the interest paid on the loan. Also, be punctual in repaying the loans to maintain a good credit history.

How Freddie Mac's Reverse Stock Split Works

---

By Andy Denton

---

Freddie Mac is on life-support system. At the onslaught of the property crisis last September, the government has taken control over the agency's activities when it fell under conservatorship along with Fannie Mae. Under this arrangement, the two government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) have been infused with $100 billion each but 80 percent of each firm's stake will be under government control.

Diving Share Prices

At the start of the year, Freddie Mac's shares showed minor fluctuations between $30 and $40. By March, the share price plunged below $20 only to take a modest recovery above $30 in the middle of the month. Then the property sector was already in the doldrums the following weeks and things all went downhill from then on. The months of June and July saw the steepest plummeting of share prices falling down below $10. Last Tuesday, share price closed at 77 cents.

The New York Stock Exchange requires companies to maintain stock prices above $1. Trading below such price would mean delisting from the exchange under listing requirements. What this means is that Freddie Mac may not still be bankrupt but it will have to trade over-the-counter or in the pink sheets system where there is less regulation but are highly susceptible to downturns. Furthermore, if the company remains in either trading markets, investor confidence will fall and institutional investors (ex. pension funds and insurance companies) would be able to offer less information on the quality of the stock. Freddie Mac would then have lower trading volumes and be on the line for bankruptcy.

But the federal government wouldn't allow that to happen to the country's largest mortgage firm. Last Tuesday, Freddie Mac told NYSE that it has no choice but to resort to a reverse stock split to keep share prices above $1. A reverse stock split is commonly taken by companies with a notice of delisting to raise the par value of the stock or its earnings per share. It's a legal, artificial way of raising the price since the market capitalization remains the same. If for example the 54,658,961 FME shares are split in a 1-for-10 scheme, the investor would own only one share for every 10 shares that he originally possesses. If the price is currently at 77 cents, the new price of the "one" stock will now be $7.70 (77 cents times 10 shares). Notice that by reducing the number of shares, the par value has increased but Freddie Mac's $498.31-million capitalization remains the same.

Such move would save hundreds of investors from further losing their confidence in the troubled mortgage agency.

5 Ways to Spend the Proceeds of Your Home Equity Loan

About Home Equity Loans

I have been thinking about the ease with which most home owners can get a home equity loan, whether it be by a revolving Line Of Credit type of loan or a Fixed Home Equity Loan. The ease with which these may be obtained can be deceptive to many people and the "easy credit" can very soon be easily gone.

Yes even now, if you have owned your home for a little while, you can quite easily get a home equity loan which you can put to many numerous and various purposes.

This apparent ease of credit against the value of your home can attractive while interest rates are low. But at some time in the future the interest rates will go up and then it becomes a matter of some concern.

Here is an article that reflects my opinion of the best (and the worst) uses to put a home equity loan to, if you can get one

5 Ways to Spend the Proceeds of Your Home Equity Loan

---

By Andy Denton

---

Once you receive your one-time lump sum from your home equity loan, you may run the risk of being in more debt once you mismanage the cash in your hands. Worse, you may be paying only the interest but missing out on the payments for the principal. That’s why it is important to use your money in expenses that will give a good return. Here are some suggestions:

Spend on: Home Remodeling

Don’t Think About: Vacation

By the time home values have rebounded and you decide your house to place in the market, your home’s appraised value can increase with the recent improvement. That’s aside from being able to use the remodeling or extension for years; you’re money hasn’t gone down the drain at all. It’s not much of a priority these days to spend so much for something that’s temporary like vacations. Resist booking your trip to Miami and spend your cash wisely.

Spend on: College Tuition Fees

Don’t Think About: Debt Consolidation

Unless you are 100 percent sure that your reformed spending habits will cause an absolute turnaround in your credit card bill, never make the mistake of bundling your debts in the hopes of averting higher interest in your balances. Besides, you can never secure an even lower interest rate in the first place. On the other hand, spending it on your daughter who’s away in college is a wiser investment. The University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business currently costs $97,165 for tuition and fees while a Harvard University diploma costs $101,660.

Spend on: Another Property

Don’t Think About: Presents during holidays, etc.

You can eliminate the costs of private insurance on your next property purchase that is, if your purpose of obtaining a loan is for another investment. Other savings that may come from buying another property include possible lower interest rate and tax deductions. One bad habit of those who avail of home equity loans is that they use a portion of the amount to buy their families with presents. There’s an immediate need in American families to spend for things, mostly unnecessary, just to celebrate the holidays. In the end, they end up using a large part or the entire loan to these gifts instead of spending the proceeds wisely.

Spend on: Retirement Programs

Don’t Think About: Cars

Just because you’ve received a hefty amount from your lender doesn’t mean you’ll be using that as downpayment for an SUV or a slick sedan. Unless there is a pressing need for it, you may consider a second-hand unit. Today’s low gasoline prices are forecasted to bounce back and you may sell the car in a few months. Instead, why not think about financial security by the time you’re 65? Starting early with your contributions will obviously give you higher amounts of benefit.

Spend on: Small Business

Don’t Think About: Lavish celebrations

Sure, you’re wedding day should be memorable but more couples have found innovative solutions to hold receptions in practical ways. Good planners use their savings and not the money from their home equity loan. During downbeat economic conditions like today, laid off workers are growing interested on starting small businesses whether they be the mom-and-pop type or marketing the products online. Because the business is still in its infancy, there is little risk from suffering huge losses. It’s more fulfilling to watch your garaged-based shop develop into a medium enterprise rather than a video of a single night’s party.

Finding the Perfect Equity Remodeling Loan Package

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Equity loans are often considered when borrowers want to remodel their home, purchase newer vehicles, pay off tuition bills, or even take a long-needed vacation. Many borrowers come to a term in their first mortgage that poses potential financial shortages, thus refinancing is the choice to help them find a solution to make the most out of their income. The borrower considers equity loans to lower the monthly installments or interest on the first mortgage, thus opening up new solutions for saving cash.

Homeowners can reduce their monthly mortgage payments to around $150 per month, which can help them save cash for additional expenses. However, if the borrower is taking out a loan for more than $100,000, then the monthly mortgage may be around $900 give or take. This is not a source for saving, unless your income exceeds $3000 each month. If you reduce mortgage payments to $900, you will need to add the cost of living, the cost of utilities, and other expenses into the calculation before accepting the agreement. However, if you are paying $1500 monthly on your first mortgage, then the extra $600 can become a commodity.

Make Sure You Know Why You Are Considering An Equity Loan

Home equity loans are interest versus capital versus equity. As you can see, taking out another loan involves additional debts. Risks are always involved in lending; therefore make sure you know why you are considering equity loans. Thus, you will also need to review the different types of loans available, since few lenders will offer lower repayments on mortgage on a loan amount of $100,000 or more. Of course, your home is at stake, so you should carefully calculate your income and match them against your everyday expensese to ensure that you have enough money in your budget to meet the monthly obligations on time to avoid foreclosure.

Comparing Tax-Deductible Equity Loans

Many home equity loans are tax-deductible.

Unfortunately, most borrowers step into the loans without taking advantage of the savings. Employers, businesses, and many others are offered cuts on taxes from paying particular expenditures from the gross earnings. Thus, they won’t get a cut on the mortgage itself possibly, but the interest rates on the equity loan are tax-cutting commodities.

Lenders Will Calculate The Value Of The Home

Home equity loans are loans provided to borrowers against the value or equity on the home. In other words, lenders will calculate the value of the home, comparing it the amount owed on the home; thus figuring the amount applied for on the loan. Lenders nowadays are competing against other lenders, since the Internet is swarming with mortgage lenders offer great rates. Thus, if you are searching for equity loans, it is time to start now, since the Prime Rates are at its lowest this year. Many mortgage lenders are offering rates as low as 6%, while others are dropping the rates to an outstanding 1%. Of course, the rates are temporary for the most part, but they are still a great way to start saving on loans.

Read The Terms And Conditions As Well As The Fine Print

Borrowers are wise to read the terms and conditions as well as the fine print when considering loans, since the information that leads to the real deal lies in between those lines. While there are various types of loans available, for the most part, equity loans are second loans or HELOC. The HELOC is home equity line of credit. Comparing the two will help you to weigh out the needs of your intended loan. Finally, if you are searching for a loan that offers cash back, you may want to go online to review the various loans offered. First time buyers are wise to review the different types of loans to get the best deals.

Change Your Workplace Luck

Here is an interesting blog post I found over at the Simpleology blog It is a simple post describing how to increase your workplace productivity and empowerment.

Over the years, I've read a lot of books about workplace productivity and empowerment. I've realized that while the authors may have different theories about how to achieve success--they single out the same types of personalities who slow down productivity or bring down morale.

Here are three people who may never get promoted--along with simple suggestions on how they can change their fates:

Get A Home Loan With Bad Credit

Bad Credit Home Equity Line Of Credit

Bad credit can increase the difficulty that a homeowner encounters when seeking a home equity line of credit. Bad credit can be the reason for a poor credit score.

What Is A Credit Score

What is a credit score? The credit score varies between the values of 300 and 850. The credit score is the creation of the Fair Isaac Corporation. Lenders who arrange for a home equity line of credit use the credit score in order to set the interest rate that will be charged the homeowner.

Homeowners with a low credit score will need to pay higher interest payments. A score above 700 is assurance of good interest rates. The credit score also serves as an indicator of whether or not a lender should accept a homeowner's application for credit. Decisions on credit limits for the homeowner are likewise based on the homeowner's credit score.

The credit score is a function of the homeowner's past line of credit. In the U.S., three different agencies keep a record of each consumer's line of credit. Those agencies are Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. If a homeowner with a low credit score wants to raise that score, then the homeowner must contact each of those three agencies.

Overcome A Record Of Bad Credit

The effort to overcome a record of bad credit and to raise a credit score requires the contesting of false claims that money is owed. If the homeowner can prove that the claim for money is spurious then the homeowner has an opportunity to raise his credit score. This action should be taken if the homeowner who plans to seek a home equity line of credit has a score less than 640. Such a score would be a sign of bad credit.

Contesting Of A Credit

The contesting of a credit score is not like a shot in the dark. A survey of credit reports in the U.S. showed that 80% of such reports contained mistakes. Thus, a homeowner could have good reason to question the credit score that is being used to determine the interest rate on a home equity line of credit.

The credit score for a couple, a pair that are joint homeowners, is based on three credit scores from the person with the most sizable income. This is the score that the homeowner needs to make correct. Such correction may require a written statement to each of the above-mentioned agencies. Those agencies will then contact the homeowner and indicate if more information is necessary. If the homeowner is lucky, then the credit score will be increased and the interest rate for the desired home equity line of credit will be lowered.

Don't Drive At The Borders Of Your Credit Limit

Once the homeowner has a good credit score then he will want to avoid slipping back into that region of bad credit. This means that the homeowners must avoid the sort of spending that carries them to the borders of their credit limits.
