Random Mortgage Knowledge

There are millions of things to know about the mortgage industry and obtaining a mortgage. Please peruse the following random bits of knowledge. Feel Free to Press Control-F to search for keywords.

ARM is an acronym for Adjustable Rate Mortgages. These mortgages are typically fixed for a predefined number of years and then may adjust.

There are more to mortgages than simply interest rates. Sometimes a great rate may not be the best way to structure your mortgage. Always consult with your mortgage broker to find the best combination of rate, term and fees before moving forward with your purchase or refinance.

Although getting a mortgage is important, understanding your debt and how to better structure it is also very important. Being able to finance your debt in ways that improve your tax situation and your monthly cashflow bring you to the level of what the rich do on a daily basis.

Your credit score is the biggest factor used in determining the loan programs you qualify for. Getting a mortgage and making timely payments is perhaps the best way to repair a bad credit profile. Even though your initial mortgage terms may not be that attractive, you should be able to refinance into a much better loan program within a year or so of making timely payments.

Thinking about a 15 year mortgage? Get a 30 year one. Take the difference in payments between the 15 year and 30 year and place it in a side account that earns 5% interest. In 15 years you will have enough money to pay off the 30 year mortgage plus $25,000!

Paying one extra payment per year on a 30 Year Mortgage can reduce your term to just under 23 years!

Changes in the quoted interest rates of Fixed Rate Mortgages are less dependent on the Federal Reserve's overnight borrowing rate, or "Fed Funds Rate", than commonly believed. In fact,the Fed rate increases and decreases which Mr. Bernanke and Mr Greenspan before him announce are more directly linked to rises and falls in short term interest rates, such as those which determine the rates on Adjustable Rate Mortgages.
