  15. Fixed Rate Mortgages The most popular mortgage loan is the traditional fixed rate mortgage • Interest rate does not change over the term of the loan • Fully amortized • Equal payments • Most typical – 15 and 30 years terms • Some lenders offer 40 years programs

  16. Sample Fixed Rate Loan Amortization Chart • Refer to Amortization Handout

  17. Advantages & DisadvantagesFixed Rate Mortgage Loans • Advantages • Fixed interest rate for the life of the loan • Terms of 15, 30 and 40 years • Monthly payments remain the same • Loan fully amortizes • Disadvantages • Loan must be refinanced to obtain a different rate (in falling markets) • Higher initial rate compared to ARMs • No flexibility in payment options – must make the fully amortizing payment  21

  18. Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans (ARM) • Interest rate fluctuates • Payment can change • Caps limit fluctuations • Hybrids – with fixed periods  22, Chart  23

  19. Sample - ARM Rate Changes This example assumes a 1 Year ARM; $150,000 loan amount, 3% down payment, $500 in lender fees, and two discount points. A 4% initial rate was offered at loan origination with a 4.274% APR.  23

  20. APR!Check the Annual Percentage Rate • This number includes the interest charged plus any points and all lender fees • A low interest rate loan product may sound great, be sure to see if there are multiple points and lender fees that make the total APR much higher. • The bigger the difference between the interest rate and the APR, the more you are paying in fees and other costs • Remember, the buyer always pays the costs; either upfront or in the form of a higher rate.

  21. Subprime Mortgage Loans • What are subprime mortgage loans? • Conventional mortgage loans originated by Lenders and Mortgage companies to serve borrowers that do not qualify for prime loans due to past and present credit problems or other risk factors • Because of the risk involved in lending, subprime loans may have higher interest rates and may be more costly to the consumers.  24

  22. Is a Subprime Mortgage Rate Good for You? • Depend on the borrower’s present situation • Name acceptable situations • Don’t want to lose a good buying opportunity • Can afford higher monthly payments • Committed to improve credit profile • Be able to refinance to a prime rate in the future  24

  23. What is Risk-based Pricing? • Loans rely on what is commonly referred to as risk-based pricing • Risk factors affecting the loan rate • Credit score • Credit history • Loan to value ratio • Debt to income ratio • Income history  24

  24. Beware of Predatory Lending • Are subprime loans predatory? • NO • Every industry has “bad apples” • Beware of unethical lenders, mortgage originators, contractors, appraisers and others involved in the home financing process • “Knowledge is empowering”  24

  25. Other Mortgage Options: Advantages & Disadvantages • Interest Only • Pro - Small monthly payments • Con - Balance does not decrease • Pay Option • Pro – Choose monthly payment option • Con – ARM loan, possible negative amortization • Balloon-Payment Mortgages • Pro – Small monthly payment • Con – Possible negative amortization  23

  26. Non-Traditional Mortgage Products • What are they? • Residential mortgage loan products that allow the customer to defer repayment of principal or interest, including but not limited to an interest-only mortgage loan product • Negative amortization mortgage loan products  21

  27. Negative Amortization Mortgages Let’s review the handout with a sample of a negative amortization mortgage. • Advantages • Disadvantages • Could this type of loan be good? Refer to negative amortization handout

  28. Full vs. Reduced Documentation • Full documentation • Reduced documentation sample: • 30 yr. fixed rate loan of $300,000 might cost 0.75% or a $2,250 up front payment • You can increase the interest rate instead of paying the upfront payment by adding 0.375% to the interest rate or an additional $77 per month ($27,720 over 30 years) • Always compare Annual Percentage Rates  24

  29. Options to Lower the Interest Rate • Buy-down interest • Prepayment penalty

  30. Typical Add-on Fees  27

  31. Pricing Exceptions - Overages • Often times Lenders set a base price which Loan Officers utilize to price their loans. • The price above or below the base price is considered a pricing exception. • Generally, Lenders limit the amount of positive pricing exceptions which are otherwise known as “overages” • “Overages” increase the cost of the loan

  32. Pricing Exceptions - Underages • Sometimes Loan Officers price loans below the base price and these are known as an “underage” • “Underages” decrease the cost of the loan • Since the price you were quoted may be based on a pricing exception • It is important to negotiate interest rates as well as your points and fees

  33. Legal Documents at Closing • Final 1003 [Fannie Mae Standard Mortgage Application] • Mortgage • Promissory Note • Affidavits • Deed • Title Insurance • Title Abstract • Survey • Escrow Analysis • Homeowners Insurance  29
