Cash-Out Refinance

A cash-out refinance is a refinance loan product that allows you to borrow against the available home equity on your residence and to receive a lump sum of cash upon closing. To qualify, the balance on your current first loan plus the cash out amount needs to equal no more than 85% of the appraised value of your home. This percentage is called your loan-to-value ratio or LTV, and it's how lenders, not fetcharate.com, determine whether you have enough equity in your home to qualify for a refinance or a cash-out refinance. In addition, some states provide that it is unlawful for any person to broker or make a refinancing of a residential mortgage loan when the refinancing charges additional points and fees, within a 12-month period after the original loan agreement was signed, unless the refinancing results in a reasonable, tangible net benefit to the borrower, considering all of the circumstances surrounding the refinancing.

Example:

If you have had a 30-year mortgage for 5 years, and you refinance it for another 30-year mortgage, you will have extended your mortgage payments for another 5 years, resulting in payment of more overall interest expenses. However, depending on your particular financial situation and LTV refinancing in this scenario may increase the total number of monthly payments and/or the total amount paid when compared to your current situation. (i.e. 35 years of payments versus 30 years, however, if your interest rate is reduced by 2% you may realize interest savings over the life of the loan). However, be mindful of financing refinance closing costs and adding that expense to the loan balance. Consider the length of time you plan to stay in the home and ask your mortgage professional to assist you in determining your break-even point if you choose to do this type of refinance. It is important that you consider your individual circumstances, wants and needs when selecting this, or any mortgage product. The benefits of these alternatives may vary over time and will depend on individual circumstances. The longer you keep the property and your loan at the new rate and term, the more interest savings may be realized when compared to your current situation.

Reverse Mortgage, Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) and HECM for Purchase

A reverse mortgage is a loan that converts the borrower’s home equity into payments from a lender and, typically, does not require any mortgage repayments as long as the borrower continues to live in the home. HOWEVER, the borrower has to continuing paying insurance and taxes on the home.  Industry reports indicate that almost all reverse mortgages are made under the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program, which is administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).  While other types of Reverse Mortgages are available, such as Standard Reverse Mortgage that can have higher fees and costs associated with it than an HECM Savers.  There is also a HECM for Purchase which allows you to borrower for the purpose of buying a new home.
 
Reverse mortgages typically are “rising debt, falling equity” loans, in which the loan balance increases and the home equity decreases over time. As the borrower receives payments from the lender, the lender adds the principal and interest to the loan balance, reducing the homeowner’s equity.  The loan amount that a lender can advance to a borrower depends on three factors. First, the loan amount is based on the “maximum claim amount,” which is defined as the lesser of the appraised value of the house.  Second, the age of the borrower affects the borrower’s loan amount—the older the borrower, the higher the loan amount. However, if there is more than one homeowner, the loan amount is based on the age of the youngest borrower. Third, the interest rate also affects the loan amount. Typically, the lower the interest rate, the higher the loan amount.

General eligibility restrictions and requirements:

• Borrower must be at least 62;
• Must speak to a HUD Approved Housing Counselor;
• Home must be your primary residence; and
• Borrower cannot have any delinquencies on any federal debt, suspensions, debarments, or excluded participation from FHA programs in order to qualify for HECM or HECM Saver.
• You must have paid off most, or all of your traditional mortgage.

Benefits of a Reverse Mortgage:

• Only pay taxes and insurance (no principal and interest mortgage payment) while you live in your home;
• No income, medical, or credit requirements; and
• As long as you live in the home you can choose several payout options that fit your financial need.
• Line of Credit - you only pay interest on money you use.  The amount of money available to you can grow over time.
• Monthly Payout - the monthly amount may grow over time and can be a good choice if you need additional monthly income to cover day-to-day expenses.
• Lump Sum - this is a bit more risky.  If you borrower more than you need, you will be required to pay interest on all of it even if you don't use it all.

Costs Associated with HECM (for detailed explanation of costs and fees ask the lender you select and make sure to ask about the overall risks associated with this mortgage product):

• Loan Origination Fee;
• Third Party Fees (such as appraisal, inspection, title policy etc.);
• FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums;
• Servicing Fees; and
• Interest.

Don't sign any loan documents unless you understand how your reverse mortgage will work.  You may also contact a HECM counselor from FHA's National HECM Counseling Network. These counselors provide both face-to-face and telephone counseling nationwide and you are required to speak to one before you make any decisions regarding a reverse mortgage.

HECM for Purchase program is available to allow seniors to purchase a new primary residence and obtain a reverse mortgage within a single transaction. The program is also designed to assist in relocation to other geographical areas, downsize, or to purchase a home that meet their physical needs,  Eligibility is similar to that of a Reverse Mortgage/HECM but there are some variations, at least one of the borrowers be 62 or older, and intend to purchase a new primaryresidence using loan proceeds from a reverse mortgage.

Certain properties are ineligibe for the program, such as:
 

• Cooperative units
• Newly constructed residences where a Certificate of Occupancy or its equivalent has not been issued by the appropriate local authority
• Boarding houses
• Bed and breakfast establishments
• Existing manufactured homes built before June 15, 1976; and
• Existing manufactured homes built after June 15, 1976 that fail to conform to the Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, as evidenced by affixed certification labels (e.g., data plate and HUD certification label) and/or lack a permanent foundation as required in HUD's Permanent Foundations for Manufactured Housing Guide or homes that are installed or were occupied previously at another site or location.

If you want further assistance fetcharate.com strongly encourages you to visit the FHA Resource Center.

Jumbo Loans

Jumbo loans are when the amount sought to purchase a home exceeds the conforming loan limit.  The current loan limits discussed below can be found at www.hud.gov or www.fhfa.gov/Default.aspx?Page=185 and are valid through December 31, 2013.  If you are considering a single-family home requiring a mortgage that exceeds $417,000, for all states except Hawaii and Alaska, but you live in a federally designated high-priced market (such as California) the limit is increased to $625,500.  Conforming high balance areas provide loans generally that have higher interest rates and stricter underwriting requirements than standard conforming loans, but are generally priced lower than jumbo loans.  Remember that jumbo loans can have higher interest rates compared to a conforming loan and vary lender to lender so you should ask each one about the specific costs associated with the same.  In addition, you should also discuss obtaining a first and second loan, which is more complicated and no everyone will be eligible or qualify for this option.  You should talk to each lender you shop with to understand the loan limits, rates, options and costs associated with purchasing a jumbo loan for your area.
 

Prequalification Offers

Using the fetcharate.com’s Prequalification Offers Product does not guarantee consumers will get a loan.  Rather, a prequalification is a lender’s estimate of how much you could be eligible to borrow based on information you supply directly to the lender.  fetcharate.com offers this service for free and you can obtain multiple prequalification letters from lenders so you can shop for a new home with an estimated budget in mind.
 
The pre-qualification you receive is based upon preliminary unverified information, which although deemed to be reliable, is not guaranteed to be correct. A final loan decision cannot be made until a complete mortgage application and supporting documentation is received and verified by the lender you choose to finance your home purchase. Your prequalification letter does not guarantee loan approval, nor is it an offer or commitment to make a loan at current advertised rates or terms found on fetcharate.com’s Website. Interest Rates are subject to change without notice and may affect the loan amount for which you qualify.  Product and services may not be available in all states.
 

Home EquityLoan/Home Equity Line of Credit

Home EquityLoan/Home Equity Line of Credit

Home Equity Loan/Home Equity Line of Credit
If your home is worth more than you owe you may be able to borrower again that portion of available equity in your home.  So which product is right for you?  You should talk to your personal financial advisor before making any decisions.  If you become delinquent on your payments to your mortgage and your home equity loan you could lose your home in a foreclosure proceeding.  Think about the additional monthly payment and if you truly have an ability to repay it.  Be honest with your lender and provide all the requested documents and fill out a formal application with the lender you choose, pay attention to points, fees, interest rates and terms associated with each product and find the one that suits your personal financial situation.

Home Equity Loans:  Most Home Equity Loans have a fixed interest rate, so your monthly payment will be the same for the agreed upon term.  The interest paid is generally tax deductible, but always find out for sure through your financial and/or tax advisor. Qualifying for a Home Equity Loan depends on the underwriting criteria set by the lender, the available equity in your home and your ability to repay the loan.  Generally lenders review your credit score, credit history, employment history, debt, income and ability to repay.  Some lenders require that you have an account with them and have a certain percentage of equity in your home to qualify.  Ask them what up-front fees are assessed and if there are any pre-payment penalties.

Home Equity Line of Credit: A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a type of loan also takes a security interest in your home but allows you to have a “draw period” so that you can access the line of credit (like a credit card) when you need it.  Terms for repayment can be 25 years with a period to draw off the amount for 10 years.  Maybe you don’t need all the money at once and this way you can use what you need and begin repayments and draw again (during the prescribed time) when you need it again.

fetcharate.com is not a creditor as it does not offer, extend or alter credit; rather it is an online market lead generator that allows consumers to shop and compare rates, terms and costs associated with financial products such as mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, student loans, etc. fetcharate.com does not originate or fund any product it markets; rather it has a Network of Lenders who compete for your business.  You may choose to speak with none, one or more of these Lenders to determine what your actual terms and savings may be.  Only a lender can provide you with a formal application for credit, your inquiry form here is merely an expression of interest and/or intent to obtain credit.  You must discuss your actual credit situation and fill out the lenders required documents prior to obtaining an extension of credit.   Network Lenders may not have the best or the lowest rates so you are encouraged to continue to shop and compare additional lenders, credit unions, local financial institutions etc. to ensure you are truly getting your best deal for your situation. 

You should contact your tax professional or other financial advisor to determine if you can actually realize savings by refinancing when it can extend the life of your current loan. You should ask the lender about all terms, rates, fees and costs associated with each product and if you will realize a net tangible benefit from the same.  All initial estimated savings is done by trying to calculate what your rate may be; however, fetcharate.com does not have that information and cannot guarantee potential savings or that lenders will approve you for such product that would warrant those savings.  All uses of estimated potential savings are examples only.  fetcharate.com gathers information from the past 30 days of customer matches for the product indicated.  A calculator is then utilized to find consumers that self-reported similar financial information in their inquiry form, and who received "matches" for the average rate, term and amount (minus taxes, insurance, and costs) at the lowest match rate for that time period.  More particularly, the most lenders across the Network, offering the same low rate, assuming the same range of self-reported credit, estimated loan amount, estimated loan balance, location and 80% or better loan-to-value.  Rates are not guaranteed and change daily.  Lenders/Brokers/Dealers/Partners that perform the actual underwriting will have to determine if you meet their underwriting criteria which is unknown to fetcharate.com at the time of matching/offer/quote delivery.  All amounts are estimates and examples only and do not represent an actual offer.

Interest Rate Comparison

Your credit data does not contain your current interest rate.  A calculation is performed to try to determine your interest rate using date of opening, loan amount and minimum payment.  That rate is then compared to data obtained from consumer match offers for the last 30 days which are then  compared to your credit report data based on similarly situated consumers (i.e. same credit score band, same band of amount due and owing, same or similar line of credit). For example, if you have a credit score of 720 and opened a mortgage in 2013 and have a balance of $225,000 and it appears that you may have an interest rate of 6.3%,(will default to the assumption that you have a 30 year fixed mortgage as that information is not known with 100% certainty) the calculator will find a similarly situated consumer who sought a 30 year fixed mortgage with a 720 credit and seeking a $225,000 loan with an estimated loan-to-value (LTV) of 80% or better received mortgage offers at 4.25% an estimated savings calculation will be prepared for monthly estimated savings you may be able to realize. However, these are estimations only and are not guarantees of actual savings. If you place in your actual interest rate using the calculator, you will return more accurate results and be able to review what other similarly situated fetcharate.com consumers.

Only a lender with whom you provide all of your information in a formal application can tell you what the net tangible benefit will be by refinancing your loan. The calculator is done simply to assist you in seeing what other consumers, similarly situated to you received back as offers and at what rates they received the same. fetcharate.com cannot warrant or guarantee any estimated interest rate comparison will be what you are offered by its Network of Lenders. Rates change daily, subject to lender verification and lender terms and conditions.
 

Mortgage "As Low As Rates" and Advertised Rates

Mortgage Rates displayed are those from our Network Lenders analyzed over the past seven to ten days prior to publication.  The rates reflect quotes delivered to consumers who are similarly situated to the assumptions described below.  The “as low as” rate is derived by determining most lenders with the lowest quote rate being delivered to the most consumers across the country during the prescribed period.  The rates displayed are not loan approvals or a commitment to lend.  fetcharate.com does not originate loans, each lender will have its own underwriting requirements, approval process, and costs associated with the same.  Actual fees, costs, rates, terms, points and origination expenses will vary per lender.  Additional fees can be added such as an appraisal fee, credit report fee, lender fees, mortgage insurance, taxes, insurance and/or VA Funding Fee. 

Discuss all pricing, terms and all fees, including a zero fee alternative, with the lender(s) you choose to conduct business with upon receiving your quote.  The approximate costs of finance charges, fees, rate and APR in the examples do not constitute an offer to lend are not to be substituted for a Truth in Lending Act Disclosure (TILA) or a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) that you will receive once you formally apply for a loan. fetcharate.com is not a creditor and it does not offer, alter or modify current or future credit terms.  fetcharate.com does not originate loans it is a marketing lead generator that performs solicitation for mortgage products without participating in the origination process. 

fetcharate.com charges the Network Lenders a “Lead Fee” for its services, fees are never charged to the consumer.  Network Lenders are not to impose this “Lead Fee” upon the consumer as it is a marketing replacement cost that should be absorbed by each Lender.  The Lead Fee will not exceed $290 based on the current fair market value (FMV) of the goods, services and facilities being provided by fetcharate.com to its Network Lenders.  Lead fees are subject to change based on several factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, product, geographic location, filter sets chosen, etc.
