Refinance Mortgage Lenders - Finding The Best Refinance Lender

by Carrie Reeder

Finding a good lender to refinance your mortgage can be almost as important a decision as the actual mortgage you choose. In order to make a wise selection of a refinancing lender you should do four things:

1. Know the objective of your mortgage refinance

Do you want to lower your current interest rate? Generally, refinancing your mortgage can be profitable if your current mortgage is 2% higher than the prevailing rates. Do you want to move from an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed rate mortgage?

If interest rates are creeping up this may be a good idea. Do you want to shorten the term of your mortgage to accumulate value more quickly? Do you want to take cash out of your home’s equity? The mortgage refinance lender you pick will want to know your reason for refinancing so that the appropriate mortgage product can be chosen. You will also want to be aware of your credit score and the terms of your current mortgage.

2. Know the different types of mortgage refinance lenders and the different types of mortgage refinance products that are available

Just like when your home’s mortgage was originally financed, there are a variety of lenders who can refinance your mortgage: Banks, credit unions, mortgage companies. There are also brokers who will find a variety of lenders for you. You should be aware, however, that unless specifically contracted to do so a mortgage broker does not have to find the mortgage refinance package that might be the best for you.

Refresh your knowledge of the mortgage financing vocabulary. Be fluent with terms such as interest rate, point and prepayment penalties. Also, most newspapers publish a daily listing of current interest rates for different types of mortgages. Become familiar with these listings and check them on a daily basis.

3. Shop around and find several different lenders to refinance your mortgage

The market for refinancing mortgages has become so crowded and competitive that it is fairly easy to find several lenders to compare. You might use a broker. The newspaper and the yellow pages are also good places to start. If you are comfortable negotiating the Internet, it is an excellent resource. There are many services online which will perform a preliminary search for a lender. Your current mortgage lender should also be included in this group.

4. Negotiate the mortgage refinance loan that suits your needs

Many times the compensation a lender makes on refinancing a mortgage is dependent on the terms of the mortgage so it is up to you to make sure that the loan received is the most advantageous for you.

You might want to investigate mortgage refinance lenders who offer no closing cost loans or free appraisals. It is important to make sure that you are comparing like products. In order to do this, have your lender present proposals in writing and require ample time to compare the different offers.

Prepare a list of the features of each loan. The type of loan, interest rate, points, prepayment penalties, closing costs are a few of the loan elements which should be compared. Check the rate you are being offered against the rates from the most current newspaper listings. The more organized, thorough and knowledgeable you are, the better your decision will be.

Deciding to refinance your mortgage is an important choice that should not be made lightly. Know why you are doing it. Know the possibilities for refinancing lenders and products that are available. Be willing to shop amongst the different lenders and to negotiate a beneficial deal. If you follow these steps, finding a good mortgage refinance lender will be much easier.

Mortgage Refinancing

by Jennifer Hershey

If you are interested in Mortgage Refinancing, it is normally for one of two reasons. Either to get a lower interest rate to save money in interest payments over the life of the loan. Or, you are interested in refinancing with cash out.

Mortgage refinancing can be done in a number of ways. The two most common are going to your local bank or using the internet.

The internet is becoming a more and more popular method of mortgage refinancing by the day.

Some of the reasons are obvious, mortgage refinancing over the internet is very simple, and the information you can find on the mortgage industry is limitless.

The mortgage industry is a very competitive one, so using the internet to shop around for mortgage refinancing is very smart. As opposed to using your local bank that normally has one product for you to choose from.

Finding someone to do your mortgage refinancing by way of the internet may be easier than you think. These loan officers are hungry for your business, and by putting only limited information on a secure mortgage web site, you will have at least four mortgage loan officers calling to compete for your business within twenty-four hours.

There is also no need to hide the fact that you are shopping around, this only forces loan officers to come back at you with the best rate they can possibly find in order to keep you from doing business with someone else.

The best part is, you are not committed to anything by shopping around, and this is a great way to educate yourself about the programs that are available, and to get a feel for how mortgage refinancing works.

In the end, the choice is yours. But remember, take your time and gather as much information on the mortgage industry as possible. It will help you make much wiser choices, which will pay off in the end.

Finding the Right Mortgage Lender

by John Mussi

Searching for a mortgage lender can be a stressful task… not only do you have to worry about finding the lowest interest rates and the best loan terms, but you also have to factor closing costs and other lender fees into the search as well. In order to find the mortgage lender that will get you the money you need while being as kind to your finances as possible, you need to make sure that you take time to consider all of your options and investigate the offers of several different lenders.

Before you can take that step, however, you need to make sure that you know exactly how much money you have ready to use as a down payment on the house you want to buy, so that you can determine exactly how much you're going to need to borrow.

Determining How Much You Need

The first thing that you should do in order to determine exactly how much money you need to borrow with your mortgage loan is take an inventory of your finances… take into account the balance in your chequeing and savings accounts, as well as any long-term investments or certificates of deposit that have matured and can be cashed in.

Of course, you should also take into account the fact that you'll need money to live on in addition to making a down payment, so you shouldn't over-extend yourself… just determine how much of a down payment you can comfortably afford. Subtract closing costs and lender fees from this amount looking at the information available from several mortgage lenders can give you a rough estimate of how much this will be.

The result will be the bare minimum that you need to borrow… though adding a little bit to the amount won't hurt to make sure that all of your expenses (including homeowner's insurance, in most cases) are covered.

Comparing Your Options

Once you have an amount, request mortgage quotes from several mortgage lenders to get an idea of the interest rates and monthly payments that you'll likely be paying. Make sure that you explore all of your options… mortgage companies, finance offices, and online lenders are just as likely to give you your best quote as your local bank is.

It's important to find out what sort of fees and costs each lender that you're considering will charge, as well… some may have higher lender fees than others, as well as higher closing costs, whereas a few of the lenders might not charge many fees at all.

Once you've gotten a variety of quotes from potential lenders, you can begin the process of deciding on the one that is best for you.

Deciding on the Best Deal

Carefully compare the interest rates, closing costs, assorted fees, and proposed monthly payments of the various quotes that you've received so that you can get an idea of which lender is offering you the best deal.

You may also wish to consider the amount of time that each quote gives to repay the mortgage loan, and whether a balloon payment is expected at the end of that term… these can be major parts of the decision-making process as well.

Once you've compared all of the rates, considered your options, and found the best offer, follow through with it; you're that much closer to owning your own home and fulfilling your dreams.

Unsecured Personal Loans – Satisfying The Need for Extra Cash

by Andrew Baker

Would you like going on a holiday through the sale proceeds or your home? Or, how about repairs in a home that has been effected at the cost of home itself? Ones home is too prized an asset to be frittered away thus. Loans against home, may if not paid on time, result into repossession of the home or any other asset serving as collateral. The fear of losing assets, particularly home, has forced many people to opt for unsecured personal loans.

Unsecured personal loans do not guarantee use of home for recovery of unpaid loan proceeds. However, the swiftness with which a secured loan provider liquidates collateral is not possible in unsecured personal loans. The provider of unsecured personal loans will have to move the courts for recovery. This will often be a protracted process, but the defaulter borrower will have to cough up the loan proceeds.

However, a majority of borrowers take loans to successfully repay them after a certain time with interest. Therefore, their interest in opting for unsecured personal loans is only to save their homes from the loan sharks and the hard moneylenders.

The best feature of unsecured personal loans is the relative speed with which they are available for use. Since one of the most important tasks of valuation of asset has been made unnecessary, savings in time is obvious. Therefore, while a person has to wait for at least two weeks to get hold of loan proceeds, unsecured personal loan proceeds will be released much faster, sometimes within 5 days of application. Hence, unsecured personal loans find good use in situations that demand hasty supply of cash.

Borrowers with bad credit history will sense some limitations when using unsecured personal loans. Loan providers need to have something to fall back upon in case of defaults in loan. If it is not the collateral, it must be the personal credibility of borrower that must lead to trust. Therefore, it is preferred of borrowers to have good credit.

A person is said to have good credit history when he has paid all his dues on different debts on time. Credit reference agencies, namely, Experian and Equifax prepare the credit file of borrower. A borrower in need of a fast approval of unsecured personal loan must append a copy of his credit report, requested from both these agencies.

Bad credit borrowers may find getting good deals in unsecured personal loans difficult thence. Borrowers with bad credit surely can find deals appropriate to their condition if they associate with brokers. Brokers are helpful since they are associated with several banks and financial institutions in the UK. Such lending agencies provide unsecured personal loans to the applicants when a reputable broker forwards their application.

The principal drawback of unsecured personal loans is the high rate of interest charged from borrowers. There is little borrowers can do about this. The borrower gets freedom from clause of collateral; in exchange, he needs to pay a high rate of interest to compensate lender for high risk. The interest rates on unsecured personal loans go as high as 7 to 30%. The interest rate or APR is fixed based on applicants credit score. Apart from credit history, there are several factors, which are taken into consideration while preparing credit score. The APR determined on this basis will be offered to borrower. Because of the prevalence of a large number of loan providers in the UK, borrowers can exercise their power of choice. The lender whose product is constituted of the best features is the one that is chosen by the borrower.

If negotiated well, the borrower will be able to design the unsecured personal loan as fully befitting his situation. There are several decisions to be made on unsecured personal loans, such as repayment, lender, term of repayment, rate of interest etc. The key to a best deal unsecured personal loan is to be alert while making such decisions.

The Big Debate Continues – Internet Mortgage Leads vs. Direct Mail

by Brian Rice

The world is flat. India is one of the fastest growing economies and SMS and SEO are the buzz words of the present moment. Content is king and the word “marketing” should be changed to what-the-heck-works-these-days-to-get-customers.

As it relates to mortgage marketing and the industry, it's important to understand how to differentiate direct mail with direct marketing over the Internet (including internet leads and email marketing). As a direct marketer, I always encourage my clients to diversity their tactics, by using a hybrid direct marketing approach. One that combines the traditional method with the interactive approach.

The debate around Internet mortgage leads versus direct mail has only grown stronger within the past few years. When consumers search for a mortgage on the Net, typically they'll come across big name companies that spend a fortune on monopolizing the Web through online marketing strategies (i.e Lending Tree). Internet mortgage lead providers usually fall under the following three categories:

? Online Lenders
? Affiliate Marketers
? Internet Marketing companies that specialize in the mortgage market, but aren't necessarily licensed to sell mortgage loan products or services.

The positive aspects of obtaining Internet mortgage leads is that in a sense, these leads are actively searching for a mortgage broker or lender to assist them in their process. The downfall is that if they are doing a search on the Internet, then most likely they have contacted a few companies (or several) to get information (in other words, you're not that special). If you have received the leads directly through your online marketing efforts and can provide them with a mortgage service, then great, it might be your lucky day. Just make sure you contact them before your competitors do. If you received the leads from an “online marketplace that connects you to a network of lenders”, then be careful. These leads were not only sent to you, but may also fall in the lap of your various competitors. In which case, I would throw caution to the wind. In the case for exclusive leads, make sure you trust your lead provider and prepare for the high price you'll have to pay to be on the VIP list.

The positive aspects of running a traditional direct mail campaign is that:

1) If prospects that received your offer are interested, they will make a concerted effort to contact YOU, not Joe Mortgage from the Internet or Joe Online Marketing Company, or Joe I Have 20 Companies That I Will Send This To and go on vacation next week with all the money I just charged them.

2) They may save your information for a later date when they need it or pass it to a colleague or friend they is actively seeking your service.

3) You build brand recognition. Prospects have received your offer a few times and will go to you when they are ready. After all, you have reached out to them in the old fashioned way. You obviously have good manners since you addressed them by first name and the hand written letter from the CEO was a nice boost to the ego.

The issues that one may run across through the traditional direct mail approach is that response rates are typically lower and a consistent on-going mail campaign is required.

In closing, it's important to align yourself with the right direct marketing strategies, as long as you understand what's to be expected. If you put the necessary time and budget required to obtaining quality and targeted data and utilize your creative resources to get a compelling message out, you should have no trouble acquiring new customers that respect the way you conduct your business.

Bad Credit? You Can Still Get a Mortgage to Buy a House

by John R. Blakefield

Unfortunately bad credit can haunt you for the rest of your life. If there are bankruptcies or foreclosures on your credit report, you know how hard it is to get any line of credit. Lenders and creditors simply look to as a too big of risk to loan money to.

But we know that even though mistakes were made in the past, your financial situation and behavior can be reformed. Some lenders understand this as well, and the sub prime lending market has grown and become very competitive. The lending market can be broken up into two main segments, the prime, those with average to good credit who are not huge financial risks. Then there is the sub prime market, with those who have poor to very bad or no credit.

Lenders can give ratings to a certain sub prime client giving them a rating from A-D: A being the best rating and D being the worst. When you fall into the C or D category, you are considered very high risk and more likely to default on a loan than that of a person with an A or B rating.

Sub prime lenders generally give loans to even the highest of risk cases. They look at the same information that a prime lender would look at to evaluate the type mortgage you can have. They look at credit history, income, expenses and long term debt. If you do have foreclosures, bankruptcies, delinquent payments, and outstanding debt, they will take all of this into consideration. If you can show steady employment, a good income, an effort to pay back the money you owe and are doing it in a timely fashion, you are more likely to get a better rate than that of someone who is not taking any steps to fix their credit.

Sub prime lenders can loan the money you need by protecting themselves. They do this through higher rates and fees that prime lenders would not charge. Be careful, because some sub prime lenders will take advantage of your poor credit history and charge a ridiculous amount in fees and charge you a too high of interest rate even for a poor credit case.

Fortunately for the consumer, this sub prime market is extremely competitive and you do not have to accept the first lender who offers to loan you money. You actually have the luxury to shop around and compare rates, even for the worst of credit cases! So check online for tools that can aid you in finding and comparing sub prime lenders. The internet is a good place to start your research. You can also ask for referrals from family, friends and even local bank.

Don't allow credit mistakes in the past to dictate how you live your life today. Buying a home is still an option regardless of your credit history. And, as long as the sub prime market continues to be competitive, you, the consumer is at a huge advantage.

It is always a good idea to take steps to repair your credit, and buying a home can aid in this. If you make you mortgage payments on time every month, then you can watch your credit grow! Sub prime lenders specialize in this area, so allow them you help you make your credit score even better! Be sure the sub prime lender you use is trustworthy and qualified. There are sharks in the industry, so be sure to ask for referrals and look at licenses.

So go buy your home and repair your credit at the same time! Take advantage of the opportunities you have at your fingertips.

Reverse Mortgage - Is It A Big Risk?

by Jeremy Louie

A reverse mortgage is a special type of loan that home owners can sometimes get to convert the equity in their homes to cash. Simply, a reverse mortgage is a type of loan that provides you with a monthly income, a lump sum of cash, or a line of credit. Or a combination of both

This was originally structured for retirees keen in keeping their homes but whose incomes aren't sufficient to support them, reverse mortgages have typically been used to help people on low incomes to pay for daily expenses, huge medical bills or the odd house maintenance and repair costs. Reverse mortgage also pays off your existing loan, if you have any. So you have no ongoing house payment. The monthly income you receive from the reverse mortgage is guaranteed and you will receive it as long as you remain living in the home.

Many reverse mortgages offer special appeal to older adults because the loan advances, which are not taxable, generally do not affect Social Security or Medicare benefits. Another advantage of reverse mortgages is the different withdrawal options that you are able to choose. These options include lump sum distributions, line of credit, monthly payments, or any combination of these three. So if you were eligible to borrow $200,000 on a reverse mortgage you could select to receive $60,000 up front to cover current expenses, and hold the rest as a line of credit that you can use whenever you need it. This flexibility of reverse mortgages can significantly improve you financial independence during retirement

The disadvantage is the relative cost of a reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgages tend to be very expensive when compared with a conventional mortgage. This is due to the rising-debt nature of reverse mortgages. Another disadvantage is the reverse mortgage payments can affect eligibility for old age pensions, or supplemental Social Security income. Senior citizens may not even appreciate this problem until after they already have their reverse mortgage, and only then do they discover that this can have the negative affect on their finances then what they were trying to accomplish in the first place by taking out the reverse mortgage.

With these facts in mind, reverse mortgage are definitely an option to consider if you are looking for ways to supplement your current income. As with any financial decision, you should consult the advice of a trained financial professional to analyze and determine if a reverse mortgage is right for in your unique circumstances.

Credit Help For Mortgage Financing: Beware Of Predatory Lenders

by Jeanette Joy Fisher

Financing a new mortgage? Beware of "predatory lenders."

In November 2005, Montgomery County, Maryland's county council enacted legislation to expand the categories of discriminatory lending activities associated with discriminatory housing practices and increased the maximum fine for such activities from $5,000 to $500,000. The council sited practices such as charging inordinate amounts for prepayment penalties, points, and fees; steering borrowers toward more expensive mortgages; and refinancing existing mortgages with new ones that borrowers won't be able to repay based on their income or credit.

Predatory lenders typically target what’s known as the nonprime mortgage market, where people with blemished credit records try to borrow money for homes in less desirable neighborhoods, which means that it's often minority groups, such as African-Americans and Latinos, who are the victims of predatory lending practices.

However, February 2006, the American Financial Services Association (AFSA), challenged the ruling, contending that only the state has the power to enact legislation regarding mortgage lending practices--although the AFSA went on record as opposing discriminatory and abusive lending practices. The new law was supposed to take effect the second week in March, but mortgage lender lawyers persuaded a judge to delay the new law, pending a hearing. So it's yet to be determined if the Montgomery County law will remain on the books.

Regardless of the outcome in Montgomery County, however, predatory lending practices are illegal in most states. The Center for Responsible Lending describes a number of such practices on their website. Some of them include loan flipping, in which the borrower is forced to refinance a loan, sometimes several times, solely for the purpose of generating new fees for the lending institution. Another common practice is insisting that borrowers also purchase such things as credit life insurance or other products--again, primarily designed to generate more income for the lender.

The bottom line is that there are lending institutions that make a great deal of money by charging extra fees to those borrowers who can least afford them, thereby either depriving those borrowers of the American dream of home ownership or, worse yet, setting them up for eventual foreclosure.

As the real estate market slows down and interest rates creep up, it's more important than ever to become a knowledgeable consumer. Learn the basics of mortgage lending, so you'll know when you're being charged too much for a loan or for things you don't need. Shop around to see what's available, and then make sure you're comfortable with your loan payment, because you'll be paying that amount for many years.

Flexible Payment Mortgages

by LendingTree Editorial Staff

With most mortgages, your payment is the same every month. But what if your paycheck isn’t so regular? Would you like to be able to vary your mortgage payment depending on your cash flow? An option ARM -- also called a flex-ARM or pick-a-payment loan -- allows you to do just that.

How does it work?

An option ARM is an adjustable-rate mortgage with a twist. You don’t pay a set amount each month. Instead, the lender sends a monthly statement with up to four payment options. You simply choose the amount you want to pay that month and then submit your payment.

The options vary, but here’s the most common menu:

Minimum payment: This is calculated using an “initial” interest rate that can start as low as 1.25 percent. Because this payment is so low, it’s useful for months when you don’t have much cash on hand, perhaps because you are waiting for a commission or bonus check. But any unpaid interest gets deferred, or added to the principal of the loan, so your principal grows.

Interest only: You pay all the interest due, but none of the principal. This doesn’t reduce your mortgage balance, but it allows you to avoid deferring interest.

30-year amortized: This matches the monthly payment of a mortgage amortized over 30 years at your current interest rate. It includes both principal and interest.

15-year amortized: The same as above, but amortized over 15 years. This is the highest monthly payment. Choosing it allows you to reduce your principal faster than any other option.

The fine print

The biggest caveat with option ARMs is that those enticing initial rates are short-lived. The low minimum payments that make these mortgages so attractive can increase dramatically. In addition, every five years, the loan is recast -- that is, a new amortization schedule is drawn up to ensure that the remaining balance will be paid off by the end of the loan’s term. When that happens, the minimum payment can be pushed even higher.

What’s more, if you defer too much interest, you can reach what’s called negative amortization. If your balance grows to 10 percent to 25 percent (depending on state law) greater than the original principal, your loan is automatically recast and you have to start paying the fully amortized rate, which will increase your monthly payments.

Another potential downside of option ARMs is that they’re more complicated than most other mortgages. Home buyers may be seduced without fully understanding how much the minimum payments will increase over the long-term. When the monthly amounts go up, these people can experience payment shock.

Income Tax Deductions and Faster Mortgage Payments

by Alfred Fraser

Humans are predictable in behaviour because, behaviour patterns repeat themselves. Some will watch the huge tax deductions from salary recorded in the W2 and the T4 and T4A slips and will grudgingly resign themselves to pay these taxes deducted from their salary. I have seen Tax Deductions as high as $49,000.00. Indeed, the numbers fall all over the map, depending on your Income source or salary. The majority of these tax deductions fall in the $7,000.00 to $14,000.00 range with an annual salary around $60,000.00.

Three fundamental strategies reduce taxes on incomes and salaries. These tax deductions are: - 1. Contributions to a retirement or to Pension Funds: Such retirement savings are usually allowed as a legitimate tax deduction. 2. Self-employment expenses: These could include home, car and living expenses from the home budget that relate to business activities which are tax deductible. 3. Carrying Charges or using OPM: The secret here is that in business, the cost of money is a business expense allowed as a tax deduction by the IRS and CRA in different forms.

All of these tax deductions are available to just about every Taxpayer in various ways. Religiously, these tax strategies deliver 50% to 75% of the Taxes many a Taxpayer hand over from their salary, needlessly, to both the IRS and to CRA. The reason these tax deductions are not used more often is that as a Taxpayer, you may not yet have the knowledge to apply them to your individual circumstances. For example, you may be able to claim carrying charges or you could set that up for your next year's tax report. If you don't know, you will not understand that this refers to you too. Many finance professionals and Advisors, apply these strategies in the affairs of Clients who receive tremendous, financial benefits all the time. This should make the case that you could afford to use some of those tax dollars to pay for a competent Financial Advisor who would get your money back to you many times over.

The main message here is that the money your Employers send on to Uncle Sam, the IRS and to CRA (Revenue Canada) is not salary money lost to you forever. You still have some time to recover those dollars. Usually, a good Financial Planner will recover around 50% of those dollars. A seventy five percent recovery rate is not unusual. Just think about it. Let’s say your numbers fall right in the middle. If your Employer sends over $10,000.00 from your salary paycheques every year you could recover $5000.00 year after year. That sum $5000.00 could do a lot including: -- Buying a yearly $5000.00 vacation Making a retirement Savings Contribution of $5000.00 Making a $5000.00 contribution to your Children’s Education Making a $5000.00 Extra Mortgage Payment contribution Year after Year.

You don’t need any help with the vacation planning. Your private Financial Advisor will help with your education and retirement Plans. As for the fast Mortgage payment option, these tax refund dollars will stretch in ways you would hardly dream of. If you pay down your mortgage with new money as extra mortgage payments, then the benefits are exponential. Unfortunately, more Home Owners, from Seniors to working professionals to Young Couples with a tight home budget, must become more acutely aware of the exponential benefits of extra mortgage payments. Too often, such fast mortgage payment dollars exist in the home budget. We just don’t know where to look to find them. In addition to Brian Costello’s book: Making Money From Your Mortgage, only a limited few specialize in giving specific details on the huge savings to be found in your mortgage payments.

Additional or faster mortgage payments immediately gain a return of whatever the mortgage interest rates are. If for example your mortgage is written at a 5% interest charge, then you gain an immediate 5% return on your tax Reund money. Saving Accounts at the bank pay less than 3.00%. In addition, the $5000.00 tax refund cheque, if paid to your mortgage every year, will pay the mortgage off entirely maybe two years, may be five years faster. Here is where some startling, but hidden savings apply. Most People fail to understand this because few understand the finer points of how mortgage payments really work. As a rule professionals are not involved in this field since the focus is on placing mortgages not repaying them. Your total Tax Refund Savings would then include those months and years of mortgage payments you would not have to make because of the earlier fast payments. So, if your monthly, mortgage payments were $1000.00 then, five years of mortgage payment savings would deliver real cash savings of:

$1000.00 X 12 Months X 5 Years = $60,000.00

A $60,000.00 benefit is the result for each $1000.00 of tax reduction!! That sum of $60,000.00 are dollars you are contracted to pay as regular mortgage payments. Here is one powerful reason that many working professionals find it hard to make ends meet while many Business Owners and a few Employees-with-the-Knowledge enjoy a life of luxury. This year, make yourself a wealth promise to get your 50% share of excess tax dollars. Don’t just make this an empty promise, but do something about it.
