There are plenty of reasons to borrow a bit of extra cash. From paying for home improvements and extensions, buying a new car, starting a business or going on holiday, people are becoming more and more willing to borrow the money they need to take on larger projects. By and large the credit industry is more than willing to oblige, with fierce competition in the market driving interest rates and loan terms lower and lower. This means that for most people, there is an array of potential sources for borrowing money. They can opt for credit cards, bank overdraft, an unsecured personal loan, or a home owner loan, all of which are fighting tooth and nail to get YOUR business, YOUR custom and YOUR money!
Before you apply you should, as any financial advisor would do, shop around for the best loan offer available. Even those applicants with bad credit there are a whole host of companies who are fighting to get your business, so do not give it away lightly. Always, compare deals that are on offer, get the companies to give you quotations in writing and use these to barter discounts from other loan providers.
For those people with a good credit rating you will really be spoiled for choice. There is a plethora of companies offering cheap rates, discounted rates, promotional benefits and more to attract you and your loan. Again, the main point is to be aware of this and shop around for the best deal and negotiate where you see fit. In these situations I always remember a phrase my Mom used with me when I was a child, ‘ If you don’t ask you don’t get’, this is just as true when shopping for any product, financial or not.
There are a number of clear advantages to choosing the home owner loan, particularly if the sum involved is large, and you wish to repay it over a number of years. By opting for a home owner loan, you will generally be able to borrow more money than with any other form of credit, and the terms will be better than for the others. The reason for this is that you are allowing the lender to secure the value of the loan against your home. This provides them with an almost fail proof guarantee that the loan will be repaid, and accordingly drastically reduces the risks to them in making the loan.
There are risks however involved in securing credit over your home. You should consider these carefully before ever agreeing to sign up for a home owner loan. Granting security gives the lender a direct right over your home. If for any reason you become unable to keep up with your repayments, then the lender will have a right to take possession of the house and sell it in satisfaction of the debt. So if you feel there is a chance that you will be unable to continue making your repayments, then you should know that you will be at risk of losing your home. If you have family or other obligations that perhaps this is a risk that you cannot afford to take.
You may also want to think twice if you are thinking of borrowing for a short term reason. For example, if you want to go on holiday, is it really wise to put this loan on your home? The holiday will be over in two weeks and you’ll still be paying for it fifteen years later!
That said, for most people, home owner loans do provide the cheapest and most attractive source of borrowing for larger loans.

Well defaulting on loans helps no one. All those people would be homeless and that will cost the taxpayers billions too. The only thing to do is to freeze the rates and allow the homeowners time to repair their financial woes. I hate the idea as much as the next republican, but in light of what has happened freezing the loans is like closing the gate after most of the cows got out. A little help but should have never opened the gate in the first place.
Banks you GROSS income per month.
They use ratios. They will do up to 32-36% of gross income for a total mortgage payment (principle, interest, taxes, insurance and PMI (if less then 20% down).
HOWEVER!!!!!! I would recommend never to go over 25% of gross income.
could you even find a house for $55,000??
left wing crooks !!!
What assignment is this?
Okay, I'm 25, and I just bought my first house and learned this stuff, so let me give it a shot-
First off, if you can find a house for $55,900 that's in liveable condition – wow. I'm curious where you live, and how much of the fixup work you plan to do yourself. Because paying for repairs can be just as expensive as the house — maybe more.
The credit card will build your credit, but make sure you are using it every month, and paying off the balance in full every month. Also, before you apply for your mortgage, pay off your balance so that it will be at $0 when they pull your credit file.
Q1: In a mortgage there is principal + interest payments. The bank will ammoritize your loan payments, so that it will be the same payment each month throughout the term of the loan (typically 30 yrs). However, when you breakdown your monthly payment, you will see that each month you are paying a different amount towards principal and a different amount towards interest. When you first get your loan, you're going to be paying tons more interest than you are paying towards principal. That's how the banks make the majority of their money.
Q2: I think an escrow account is considered a 3rd party account that you pay your property taxes and/or homeowners insurance to, and the 3rd party makes your taxes/insurance payments on your behalf. Basically, the bank does not want liens on your house, due to your failure to pay your property taxes. So typically they will require you to pay your property taxes into the escrow account, so they can make sure that its getting paid
Q3: Property tax is forever. For as long as you own the house, you'll be paying property tax
Q4: I don't know what a survey is. You need to be aware that if you're getting a mortgage, they will probably require homeowner's insurance. That will most likely be included in your monthly checks to the bank, and placed in an escrow account. The same goes for property taxes
The more money you pay towards downpayment, and the more money you pay towards the principal, the less money you will be paying in interest. Usually it's the best thing to pay as little interest as possible. However, one great thing about paying interest on a mortgage loan, is that you can declare it on your taxes. So you can either change your number of allowances on your W4 to get larger net paychecks, or you get a bigger refund each year.
Hope I helped!
**edit:
You don't seem to understand the difference of principal and interest payments, so let me try to give you an example. (the numbers i'm using are just for example, and are not real figures. If you want to get real figures, use one of the simple ammoritization calculators)
I have a loan for $80,000, ammoritized over 30 yrs at 5.75% interest. My monthly payment (principal + interest) over the entire 30 year period is $480/mo. However the ammoritization schedule will look something like this:
Month Principal Interest Total
Sep/08 $80 $400 $480
Oct/08 $82 $398 $480
Jan/2012 $150 $330 $480
Sep/2035 $400 $80 $480
So, your monthly payments are always the same for a fixed rate loan. However, you need to understand that the bank applies your monthly payments in two categories: principal and interest. You will pay more interest at the beginning of the loan than you will pay at the end of the loan, which makes sense if you think about it. Each month your principal balance gets a little bit lower, so the interest charged also gets a little bit lower. At the start of your loan, your principal balance is the highest it will ever be, and you will be paying the most interest.
