Term Loans
A loan that requires only interest payments until the last day of its life is called a term loan.
The borrower is required to pay the entire amount of the loan upon maturity (end of the life of the loan).

Amortized Loans
An amortized loan is a loan requiring periodic payments that include both interest and partial repayment of principal.
It is the accepted method of loan repayment.

Repayment Methods
An amortized loan requires regular and equal payments during the life of the loan.
The principal due at the end of an amortized loan is $0.00

Monthly Payments
Amortization tables can be used to calculate the monthly payments per $1,000 of loan for interest rates from 5 to 40 years for periods ranging from 5 to 40 years.

Budget MortgageA budget mortgage collects principal, interest, one-twelfth of the estimated cost of the annual property taxes and hazard insurance on the mortgaged property.
The money for tax and insurance payments is placed in an escrow account also known as an impound account.

Budget Mortgage
When taxes and insurance payments are due, the lender pays them from the funds in the escrow account.
The principal, interest, taxes and insurance payment is often referred to as PITI.

Budget Mortgage
All VA loans, all FHA loans and most conventional loans above 80% of the value of the property are budget mortgages.

Balloon Mortgage
A balloon loan has a final payment larger than any of the previous payments on the loan.
In tight money markets, balloon loans increase considerably.

Partially Amortized Loan
A partially amortized loan has a series of amortized payments followed by a balloon payment at maturity.

15-Year Loan
A lender is usually willing to offer a 15-year loan at a lower rate of interest than a 30-year loan.

Bi-Weekly PaymentsInstead of paying once a month, the borrower makes one-half of the monthly payment every two weeks.
Biweekly payment results in 26 half-payments being made per year versus 12 whole payments. This can have significant savings over the life of the loan.

Loan-to-Value RatioThe relationship between the amount of money a lender is willing to loan and the lender’s estimate of the market value of the property that will serve as security is called the loan-to-value ratio.
The lender will loan the sales price or the appraised value, whichever is lower.

Loan-to-Value Ratio
Market Value = $100,000Loan Amount - $80,000
What is the loan to value ratio?
© 2015 OnCourse Learning
$80,000
$100,000= 80%
Equity
The difference between the market value of a property and the debt owed against it is called the owner’s equity.

Loan Points
In finance, a point is 1% of the loan amount.
On a $100,000 loan, one point is $1,000.
On an $80,000 loan, three points is $2,400.

Origination Fee
The loan origination fee is what the borrower pays to get the loan.
It is generally 1% of the loan amount.
© 2015 OnCourse Learning
Discount PointsPoints charged to raise the lender’s return on a loan are known as discount points.
A discount point is a yield to the lender.
Each discount point raises the yield by 1/8 of 1%.
© 2015 OnCourse Learning
Discount Points
Four discount points would raise the yield by 0.5%.
Discount points are most often charged during periods of tight money.

FHA Insurance Programs
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insures lenders against losses due to non-repayment on loans on both new and existing homes.

Assumability
The FHA requires the creditworthiness approval prior to the conveyance of title on all assumption loans.
If the borrower assumes a mortgage loan, the lender cannot refuse to release the original borrower from liability on the loan.

Mortgage InsuranceThe FHA charges a one-time up-front mortgage insurance premium (UPMIP) that is paid when the loan is made. Currently it is 1.75% of the loan amount.
As of January 2015, the annual premium was lowered to 0.85% of the annual loan balance.

Floating Interest Rates
Fixed-rate FHA loans are negotiable and float with the market. The seller has a choice in how many points to contribute toward the borrower’s loan.

If a building is defective, the borrower is more likely to default on the loan and create an insurance claim against the FHA.

The Department of Veteran Affairs is commonly known as the VA.
The VA guarantees loans made to veterans.

No Down Payment
In 2014, the Freddie Mac conforming loan limit was $417,000. Since lenders will typically loan up to four times the amount of the VA guarantee, the current loan limit with no money down is $417,000.

No Down PaymentThe guarantee entitlement for an honorably discharged veteran is good until used. If not remarried, the spouse of a veteran who died as a result of service can also obtain a housing guarantee.
Eligibility requirements for veterans vary according to years served. Active duty personnel also qualify.

VA CertificatesA veteran should make application to the Department of Veterans Affairs for a certificate of eligibility. This shows whether the veteran is qualified and the amount of the guarantee available.

VA Certificates
When the veteran applies for a VA guarantee, the property is appraised and the VA issues a certificate of reasonable value.
The veteran must agree to occupy the property.

VA Certificates
The VA guarantees fixed-rate loans for as long as 30 years on homes.
No prepayment penalty is charged if the borrower wishes to pay sooner.

VA CertificatesThere is no due-on-sale clause that requires the loan to be repaid if the property is sold.
The VA guarantees loans for the purchase of townhouses and condominiums, to build or improve a home, and to buy a mobile home as a residence.

Financial LiabilityIn the event of default and subsequent foreclosure, they are required eventually to make good any losses suffered by the VA on the loan.
A veteran is permitted a full new guarantee entitlement if complete repayment of a previous VA-guaranteed loan has been made.
