Below you will find answers to common questions about Home Mortgage Loans and the related process. Click on a question below to reveal the answer.
A large number of professionals advise that your monthly mortgage expenditure (inclusive of homeowners insurance, property taxes, and potential mortgage insurance) should not exceed 28% of your pre-tax monthly earnings. To illustrate, for a yearly household income of $120,000, your pre-tax monthly income equates to $10,000. Consequently, it would be ideal to limit your monthly mortgage expenditure to $2,800 or less.
Broadly, your eligibility for a home loan, the loan amount you can avail, and the applicable interest rate are largely influenced by these significant factors:
Liberty Bank and Trust Company participates with a wide array of down payment assistance programs to help first-time buyers. Our mortgage loan specialists can assist in finding one that you may qualify for.
Fixed-rate mortgages are easy to understand. The interest rate and monthly payment remain consistent throughout the entirety of your loan term. This is not the case for adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), which operate differently.
In the case of ARMs, the interest rates are subject to changes over the course of the loan. Usually, the initial rate is held constant for a predetermined period such as three, five, or even up to ten years. After the conclusion of this fixed-rate term, the interest rate is revised periodically, often on a six-month cycle. It's important to understand that the first scheduled adjustment after the fixed-rate period concludes could lead to an increase in your monthly mortgage installments.
In times of high interest rates, ARMs can become an appealing choice for a mortgage. Moreover, if your intention is to reside in your home for just a few years, ARMs might be an option worth looking into, provided that you plan to sell your home prior to the occurrence of the rate adjustment.
What is the suitable down payment for your new house? The answer might differ based on the individuals involved. Undoubtedly, there are advantages to depositing 20% of a home's final selling price, such as less borrowing, a reduced monthly installment, and the absence of mortgage insurance. Nonetheless, amassing, for instance, $50,000 to make a down payment on a $250,000 property is not a trivial endeavor. Given these considerations, it's not unexpected that the typical down payment is only 6% for those purchasing a home for the first time, and 14% for those who are buying a home again.
