			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you considering buying a new home or refinancing your present one? With the range of mortgage products available today, many people feel as though they need a crystal ball in order to make the right choice. It certainly <span id="more-548"></span>would be handy to see into the future, but there are more prudent and more logical ways to navigate your way through the available options.</p>
<p>There are many mortgage types — pick-a-payment, hybrid adjustable, fixed-rate interest only, reverse, negative amortization, FHA, CHFA, VA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.  All these mortgages are referred to as MPs (mortgage products) or MOs (mortgage options).</p>
<p>When you start looking for a mortgage, try to keep an open mind. Be prepared to listen carefully so you can hear about all the mortgage products available to you. What might have been right for your parents, or what might be right for a friend, might not be right for you.</p>
<p>Here are some questions you should ask yourself before you meet with a mortgage professional:</p>
<ul>
<li>How long do you plan to stay in the house? You can use a range of years — for example, 2 to 5 years, 6 to 10 years, 12 to 20 years.</li>
<li>Are you anticipating large expenditures in the near future? For example, you might need a new car, or you may be saving for a child’s college education.</li>
<li>Is your family getting larger or smaller? Are you planning to have more children, are your children going off to school, or are your children grown and married?</li>
<li>Is your income remaining steady, increasing, or subject to large variations? Is your spouse working, or is your spouse planning to stop working? Do you anticipate cutbacks in overtime or a slowdown in business?</li>
<li>Is this your dream house or an interim house? Do you expect to improve it over time?</li>
<li>Will the monthly payment curtail other activities, such as vacations or hobbies? If so, are you prepared to give those up for a while?</li>
<li>Will the money from a refinancing improve the property’s value? Will it improve your cash flow, or will it improve your financial condition in some way?</li>
</ul>
<p>Your mortgage professional will help you evaluate your answers to these questions, and he or she will help you find the right mortgage product for you. A good mortgage professional is like a good physician — both probe for information to help guide them toward making a recommendation that will be best for you.</p>
<p>When you are ready to buy or refinance, be sure to get a referral from someone you trust an attorney, accountant, financial planner, or good friend or relative who has gone through the experience. Remember, the more you know, the better off you are. Perhaps then you won’t need that crystal ball!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When getting a mortgage, especially if you’re a first time buyer it can seem a bit daunting, with all the jargon flying about fixed rate, variable rate, tracker etc.  It can feel confusing when trying to get a mortgage sorted coupled with the pressure and time constraints to get all the paperwork sorted for your new house it can be a pretty daunting task.</p>
<p>This article will hopefully give you a general idea of<span id="more-557"></span> what each one is and whether it suits your situation as fortunately there are many different types and they cater towards all eventualities.  The main point to make clear is that one mortgage deal may be suitable for one person but not for another, so it’s best to look into possibly getting financial advice.</p>
<p>Firstly a lot of mortgage lenders tend to offer attractive deals to get you onboard, these normally last for around two to five years, during which you get a fixed or variable rate, after this period ends you begin paying back at the lender’s standard variable rate.  This is normally 2% above the bank rate, it is at this point where some lenders allow borrowers to pay a small cost to change providers and take advantage of more deals again.  “Playing” with the system this way ensures you can always have the best deal, assuming inertia doesn’t keep you with your original lender!</p>
<p><strong>Standard Variable Rate mortgages</strong></p>
<p>This mortgage tends to be reflective of the Bank of England’s rates, although this is not a certain measure as lenders are not obliged to reduce their rates if the bank does.  People who don’t follow the value of their mortgages may end up with this kind, and the repayments are not that competitive unfortunately.</p>
<p><strong>Discounted Rate mortgages</strong></p>
<p>These rates tend to follow the previously mentioned Standard Variable Rates, the rates tend to be more attractive than the fixed rate ones but is risky as it follows the bank rates which can rise unexpectedly.</p>
<p><strong>Tracker mortgages</strong></p>
<p>Tracker mortgages are very similar to SVR mortgages however it is relative to the bank’s rates at all times, so when it drops by 2.75% it will go down by that much, not 2.0% if you were on a SVR mortgage.  This is a bit of a double-edged sword as if the bank’s rates rise so will yours.</p>
<p><strong>Fixed Rate mortgages</strong></p>
<p>These are the most secure in that you will never rise or fall, the trouble is to counteract this the rates are normally set high to start with, in the UK it is popular to get a fixed rate mortgage for two years or longer, the main consideration is to make sure that your loan is portable should you choose to move house.</p>

<p>You&#8217;ve heard all the mortgage stories and liked some. Now you want to know what it is going to cost you when you take out a refinance mortgage. The best and accurate source of information is the online mortgage calculator. But do you like what&#8217;s it&#8217;s telling you? Whatever it is, take heed.</p>
<p><b>Fact vs. Fiction</b></p>
<p>The sky is not falling and so are interest rates. But you can still find a comfortable rat<span id="more-565"></span>e that&#8217;s up your alley. Just take a long, hard look at the mortgage calculator after you&#8217;ve punched in your numbers.</p>
<p>You can use the online mortgage calculator to work out your monthly payments towards a refinance. The result will be based on the following:</p>
<p>1. selling price of your home.<br />
2. the desired loan amount.<br />
3. the preferred loan term.<br />
4. percentage of downpayment.<br />
5. interest rate of the loan.<br />
6. percentage of Private Mortgage Insurance to be put up.<br />
7. local property taxes.</p>
<p>The sum total will show the monthly fee you&#8217;ll be paying up for a period of x years. This amount will be stable for the duration of the loan term if you&#8217;re eyeing a fixed rate mortgage.</p>
<p>Before you can believe all the stories you hear, sort out the fact from fiction by relying on a mortgage calculator to give you the specifics.</p>
<p><b>User-friendly and Accurate</b></p>
<p>The online mortgage calculator won&#8217;t frighten techno-phobics. You can immediately see the results for yourself and the explanation for the figures that will show up. For a thirty-year term for a $150,000 house with a 10% downpayment and an interest rate of 7%, you&#8217;ll be coughing up $898.16 monthly towards the principal and the interest only.</p>
<p>An explanation will clearly tell you that you have to pay an additional fee for the Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) because you&#8217;ve paid only 10%, instead of the 20% required for the downpayment. If you&#8217;ll be paying the amortized PMI, this means an additional $74.25, bringing the total monthly fee to $972.41.</p>
<p>The calculator is convenient to use and eliminates the need for an accountant to do the figures. The instant results will help you make up your mind if you are comfortable or not with the prospective loan amount, interest rate, and the loan term. You can check out other possibilities if you choose to go for a pricier or a more affordable house. You can get all the information on different loan terms, interest rates, and downpayment until you&#8217;ve arrived at something you prefer and think you can afford without having to pay through the nose.</p>
<p><b>Well Informed Is Well Armed</b></p>
<p>You already have the advantage of knowing what you&#8217;re getting into when you take out a mortgage. When you shop for a lending company, shop for comparative rates. You might find something even better. However, don&#8217;t take up the notion that the results shown by the mortgage calculator are all that you have to spend. If this is your first ever mortgage, inquire about the fees they&#8217;ll charge from the start to the closing of the loan. Add these all up and that is the money you&#8217;ll need before any amount can be released to you.</p>
<p>Study the basic types of mortgage and how well each suits your financial circumstances, present and future. The mortgage calculator has shown you what to expect, and whether you like the results or not, the choice is still yours.</p>

<p>This article mentions a number of terms commonly used with this topic. Here are some definitions. Mortgage brokers function as a middle-man between a client and a mortgage lender. The broker will check out the mortgage marketplace to be able to find the most applicable offer for a client, this means the homeowner has access to more than a single lender. They will then advise on a suitable mortgage solution based on the customer<span id="more-564"></span>&#8216;s circumstances. A number of brokers will charge something for doing this.</p>
<p>A mortgage extension implies that you get an extension of your mortgage loan. You can do this by two methods &#8211; first by extending the time period of your mortgage loan in order to get your monthly payments lesser. Or, it can be where you increase the loan as in take out more cash on your present mortgage loan. A lot homeowners take out a mortgage loan extension to pay for home renovations. However, you have to have adequate equity in your home to increase the size of the loan.</p>
<p>A tie in period on a property mortgage stipulates you are legally bound to the mortgage provider for a specific period. Therefore, the mortgage provider will give you a favourable deal, for instance, a fixed rate mortgage for the initial two years. However, you could be linked to the mortgage provider for a specific amount of time. afterwards, for instance a year during which you will have to pay the standard variable rate. This is a method for lenders to recover the funds they have &#8216;lost&#8217; in furnishing you with a special deal, for the initial two years. In the event you wish to switch mortgage companies while still in the &#8216;tie in&#8217; agreement, you will be required to pay a financial penalty which might amount to thousands of pounds.</p>
<p>Having taken out a mortgage, you are not locked into that particular loan for the full mortgage term. Lenders compete fiercely for your custom and you may be able to reduce the cost of your mortgage by switching to a new lender. Against this you must set the costs of making the switch. These might include: valuation, legal and land registry fees; arrangement fee and mortgage indemnity insurance premium charged by the new lender; discharge fee, deeds fee and any early redemption charge levied by the old lender. The costs can easily come to ?1,000 or more, but the savings can be substantial too. For example, each 1 per cent cut in the mortgage rate on a 25-year ?50,000 loan could save you around ?360 in interest each year. Although this is not widely advertised, rather than losing you to another lender, your existing mortgage lender might be willing to give you a better deal: for example, by extending to you discounted rates normally available only to first-time buyers. It is certainly worth talking to your existing lender before going ahead with any switch, since it will cost you less to stay put.</p>
<p>If you are interested in switching mortgage, check what deals are currently on offer. Get quotes for the loans you are interested in, including the associated charges. Check what fees your existing lender might charge and check out whether your existing lender might be prepared to offer you a better deal than your current loan in order to keep your custom.</p>
<p>Bear in mind that switching mortgage counts as taking out a new loan, so you could be entitled to less help from the state if you ran into problems keeping up the payments.</p>
<p>Here are some ways the internet could benefit you should you be searching for a remortgage Should you be going to remortgage, it can be hard finding out who will offer the most favourable deals. While you may notice commercials on the TV about a deal for remortgaging, how can you know for sure that you will not run into a better deal out there in the financial marketplace? The best solution is to is to check out the web. The web is a invaluable source of information where you are able to learn all the things you should know about remortgaging and the available products. There is huge amount of information on remortgaging on the internet and as well, no-cost guides. The web grants you open access to many different companies presenting remortgage deals suggesting that you may compare and evaluate many different companies&#8217; products quickly and easily. A lot of online sites &#8211; in particular the personal finance aggregators &#8211; can give you an instant free quote so you will have the ability to determine the expense of a remortgage payment.And because of the fact that all the information about remortgaging is on the web, you can be confident that the remortgage offers are always current.</p>

<p>If you are a homeowner and like other homeowners you have first mortgage loan on your home and giving adjusted monthly payments so that the debt will be covered or ended at the end of the terms which is generally for 25 to 30 years.</p>
<p>But unfortunately if you are not able to repay the debt and suffering from enough debt burden and seeking an alternative to overcome your problems, then there is a possible solution<span id="more-568"></span> for you of having Second Mortgage for debt consolidations.</p>
<p>Before going for second mortgage if you have some other best debt consolidation solutions like mortgage refinancing or refinance your first mortgage, which makes sense only is you are capable of finding it at lower interest rates. This would be your first choice, because second mortgage may have higher rate of interest.</p>
<p>With time if the value of your home increases, your interest in the property called “Equity” also increases and if you need additional loans for home improvement, children educations etc.. you can go for second mortgage loans also called equity home loans which is given against the equity left in your home.</p>
<p>Compared to mortgage refinancing Second mortgage loan may have higher interest rates and are usually for shorter duration 15 years or less. </p>
<p>If mortgage refinancing is not available to you, then definitely go for second mortgage which will be the better option for solving your debt problems.</p>
<p>Before going for second mortgage loans you should consider following things:</p>
<p>-	Type of loan either fixed rate mortgage or variable rate mortgage.</p>
<p>-	Look at the loan cost – you have to consider other things than just interest rates, because longer repayment periods and minimum monthly installments may often results in more than enough loan cost and may affect your financial situation.</p>
<p>  So before dealing with any type of loans or second mortgages you should make comparisons between all lenders and you can do it quite easily online and can apply for free quotes or advices.</p>

<p>More and more people are jumping on the buy-to-let bandwagon.  With experienced landlords adding to their property portfolios, increasing demand from tenants and attractive buy-to-let mortgage rates, this might be a good time to consider this type of investment.</p>
<p>The fundamental requirement of a buy-to-let property is that it is capable of producing sufficient rental income to cover the mortgage payments and<span id="more-551"></span> expenses. It is obvious, then, that careful consideration must be given to finding the right property in the right area. It appears that, after a few years of mediocre performance, London is making a come back on the buyers lists. Within the capital, there are variations in the market, but east London and the upgrading of the area for the Olympics is motivating investors in the property market. Other large cities are worthy of consideration too and university towns attract a large number of would-be tenants.</p>
<p>There is also a government prediction of an increase of more than 2 million extra households in the UK over the next 10 years or so. This is due in part to the tendency towards smaller households and also to a steady increase in immigrants from other EU countries.</p>
<p>When it comes to a buy-to-let mortgage, building societies need to know that the property will generate enough income to cover the mortgage and related expenses before considering granting a loan.</p>
<p>Expenses to be taken into consideration are maintenance, buildings insurance, advertising, accountant’s fees and management charges.</p>
<p>There may also be ground rent to be paid, and if you let out premises with three or more storeys and multiple occupants (five or more); there are licences to pay for as well as probable alterations to the property to meet safety requirements. Do remember to allow for periods when the property is unoccupied. Unfortunately mortgage payments don’t stop when the rental income does!</p>
<p>As far as the tax office is concerned you have a responsibility to inform them that you are now a landlord. There is a fine of £100 if you fail to do so within 3 months. Income from letting will be taxed under Schedule A and, depending on your total income, you will pay between 22 and 40 per cent. Outgoings, with the exception of the part of a mortgage that goes towards repaying the principal, are allowable and can be offset against the income.</p>
<p>Initial costs of the property purchase are likely to be high and because of this it is advisable to think of your venture as a long-term investment of, say, 10 years or more.</p>
<p>Should you decide to sell the property, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) will be charged, assuming the value has risen.  The CGT rate is in step with income tax so the same rate will apply. There is an annual CGT allowance of £8,800 per person (2006/7). Couples who are joint owners can claim one allowance each . There is a little more help when it comes to taper relief. After the first two years there is a taper relief discount of 5% each year, up to year 10. This is to allow for inflation factors.</p>
<p>The tenant is solely responsible for council tax payments. There is no council tax charge for the first six months for an empty property, but after that you have to pay a discounted rate. For unoccupied furnished accommodation you will also get a discount.</p>
<p>There are some good deals coming through on the mortgage front, with some interesting  fixed rate ones and the number of specialist buy-to-let lenders has increased in recent years. Their terms vary and it’s important to comb through the small print a make sure you understand everything fully.</p>
<p>The easy way to do this is by logging on to the internet and searching for a mortgage broker – here you’ll find all the advice you need. They have access to all the mortgages on offer and are totally up-to-date. They will do the searching for you and come up the right mortgage for your needs, at the best possible price.</p>

<p>              <P>The first advantage of a reverse mortgage is that it allows you to borrow from your home equity without having to pay it back for as long as you live there. But it&#8217;s a costly way to access your home equity. Here, I consider why it&#8217;s costly, who might best use a reverse mortgage and other options to access home equity.</P><P>The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is FHA&#8217;s reverse mortgage program. To qualify you must be at l<span id="more-540"></span>east 62 years old and own your home. This program allows you to borrow a fraction of your home equity. That fraction increases the older you are when you apply.</P><P>As a rough estimate, a borrower in his or her early 60&#8242;s may get about 38% of the home&#8217;s equity, at 75 about 58%, and someone in his 80&#8242;s about 60%. And you don&#8217;t have to pay it back as long as you live in that home.</P><P>The total amount owed when you do leave your home is subtracted from the then current value of your house. And, importantly, you &#8211; or your children &#8211; will never owe more than the value of the house. That&#8217;s the other key advantage of the reverse mortgage.</P><P>You can take what you borrow as a lump sum, a credit line, or monthly payments for a term or for life; it&#8217;s up to you. But realize you&#8217;re borrowing this money at a rate of interest that&#8217;s fixed or variable depending on your contract. And since you&#8217;re not paying anything back, the debt you owe &#8211; i.e. what you&#8217;ve borrowed along with the interest charged &#8211; is increasing fast. As an example, at a 7% borrowing interest rate, what you owe will be double what you borrowed in just 10 years.</P><P>Reverse mortgages come with a hefty amount of fees, too. These include an origination fee, closing costs, mortgage insurance premium, and servicing fees. You can finance these through your loan as well. They&#8217;ll simply take them out of your lump sum, or credit line &#8211; leaving you with less to use of what you&#8217;ve borrowed.</P><P>The mortgage insurance premiums guarantee that you&#8217;ll get all expected loan advances and not have to repay the loan for as long as you live in your home. It also guarantees that your total debt to you or your heirs will never be greater than the value of your home when you sell it. But recognize that you&#8217;re paying for this.</P><P>But all those fees including accruing interest rate charge will cut into a lot more of your home equity than the fraction you were allowed to borrow. And it can do it fast which is why your original borrowing fraction is restricted.</P><P>Unless your home is continually appreciating at a good clip, it won&#8217;t take long until there&#8217;s little of no equity left as a legacy when you die or move out. This is what makes reverse mortgages so costly to you and you&#8217;re loved ones.</P><P>If leaving a legacy is not an issue and you&#8217;ve the health to live on your own for 10 or more years, then a reverse mortgage may be a reasonable option for you. But if you want to leave a legacy, consider alternative ways to access the value of you home for income. Here are a few:</P><P>Renting a portion of you home:</P><P>If your home has extra bedrooms you may want to rent a room out for the income it can bring you. You may even consider borrowing a little for creating an in-law apartment for renting. This allows you to remain in your house yet use it to create some income. You may find local programs that allow you to borrow cheaply for the renovation needed.</P><P>Sell Your Home to Your children:</P><P>Your children can pay you a monthly payment toward ownership of your house. You could arrange that you&#8217;d have a right to live in it as long as you live. What better way to have your cake and eat it too &#8211; leaving all that equity to your children for the payments made to you.</P><P>Sell Your Home And Pay for an In-law at your child&#8217;s house:</P><P>Here, you&#8217;ll have to move out of your home, but you get to live with your children, increase the value of their home, and have money from your home sale that you can live on -and leave as a legacy.</P><P>Sell and Buy-down:</P><P>Again, you have to move out of your home, but if you buy down to a condo much better adapted to your age and needs, your extra equity from you home sale can perhaps supply sufficient income for you to live on. You may want to buy a life annuity with it too.</P><P>Always consider every option thoroughly.<BR /></P>           <!--more--> <H3></p>
