Home Equity Lending Gains Momentum

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) September 5, 2003

The economic landscape has changed drastically over the past few weeks. The refinance boom, so strong the past 2 years, has begun to taper off. While demand for refinance loans is still evident, demand for home equity loans and new purchase loans is increasing.

Early August 2003 saw mortgage demand fall to its lowest level since the summer of 2002. Refinancing demand has dropped close to 70% since this past May, but demand for new home purchase loans remains strong.

On August 18, 2003, the Mortgage Bankers Association of America reported that builder confidence in the market for new single-family homes surged in August as homebuyers rushed to lock in mortgage rates at current, attractive levels.

According to the online MortgageLoanSearch Network refinancing activity has slowed dramatically. “We’re seeing a 65% decrease in refinance loan application requests. It’s phasing out across the board” says MortgageLoanSearch editor, Mark Askew.

The MortgageLoanSearch Network consists of financial resouces and content partners providing mortgage rates, industry news, tools and tips to online loan shoppers. One of its sites, http://www.refinanceloanrates.fimark.net specializes in providing home refinancing information.

“Data collected over the past four weeks sustain that the mortgage rate climb is retarding — but not stopping — refinance activity”, Mark adds.

An average of 70% of all mortgage applications were for home loan refinancing over the past six months. And no wonder, lowering ones rate by 2 pointed could made the difference in saving thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.

Statics indicate that 29% of americans have not yet refinanced thier homes. This is a concern as some of these are oblivious to the fact that they are needlessly paying thousands of dollars a year on mortgage payments.

While rates are still at attractively low levels home equity loan are reef. Mortgage activity swerving indicate consumers are opting for home equity programs in order to take advantage of lower rates.

Now is a good time to take advantage of consumer friendly tools tips and mortgage industry news. Some noteworthy informational resources online are http://www.Refinanceloanrates.fimark.net, http://www.bcpl.net/~ibcnet and http://www.Mortgageloansearch.cc.

What Interest Rate Should I Expect to Pay on A Second Mortgage

The interest rates on Second Mortgages are typically higher than those of First Mortgages. This is primarily due to the increased risk for the Second Mortgage Lender.

Simply, in the event of default, the Second Mortgage holder would only recover his funds from the proceeds after the First Mortgage was satisfied. In addition to the First Mortgage any Municipal Taxes due, Legal Fees Payable and all Processing costs would have to be paid as well, before the Second Mortgage lender would receive any funds to satisfy the Second Mortgage. In some cases of default the Second Mortgage lender may choose to assume the First Mortgage to protect his interest in the property. This will be not only time consuming but costly for the Second Mortgage lender.

The Interest rates determined by both Institutional and Private Lenders on Second Mortgages will be based on many underwriting criteria.

• Credit History of the applicant
• Income
• Location, Type and Condition of Property
• Debts that may remain after the Second Mortgage is in place
• The total Loan to Value (LTV): the total amount borrowed as a percentage of the value of the home

In the case of a homeowner who has good credit, stable income, acceptable property, low debts and just requires, let’s say, a Line of Credit. They should have no problem in securing a loan to 80% of the homes current value and should expect an interest rate close that of a First Mortgage or Bank Prime.

However, a homeowner who may have weak credit, less stable or verifiable income, outstanding issues such as tax arrears or credit collections may expect to be able to secure a Second Mortgage loan to 65%-85% of the home current value with an interest rate similar to that of consumer loans.

And finally, a homeowner who simply needs the lender to overlook all the underwriting guidelines and lend the money solely on the Equity in the home may expect to be able to secure a Second Mortgage loan to 65%-85% of the home current value with an interest rate similar to that of a consumer credit card.

Knowing what your up against prior to taking your second mortgage would definitely make the experience more fruitful and lighter for you.

Borrowing Wisely Against Your Home Equity

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) June 28, 2006

If done wisely, borrowing against your home equity can be a great way to obtain a low interest loan. That said, home equity loans do carry some risks, so be very careful in analyzing the exact reasons for obtaining one.

“Home equity borrowing is one of the easiest, most accessible forms of credit, but it is important to understand how to use your home equity wisely,” states Anthony Hsieh, president of LendingTree.com. “If you obtain a home equity loan for good debt such as sending a child to college or making improvements to your property it can provide you with an asset worth more than the loan you obtained. And, using a home equity loan to consolidate high-interest credit card bills can be a great strategy, as long as you don’t go back away and spend more on those cards.”

As part of its ongoing mission to empower borrowers, LendingTree offers the following tipping about building equity in your home and using it wisely:

Building Equity

     Make a bigger kill payment to pay off your bond and build equity faster.     Pay off the interest as quickly as possible. Under an amortization schedule, interest is high in the beginning of your loan term.     Try to make additional principal payments if your mortgage lender allows it.     Be aware of prepayment penalties that some mortgage lenders charge for repayment of the loan in the first few years. This can make the cost of refinancing prohibitively high.

Use Home Equity Wisely

    Make home improvements that increase the value of your home.     Consolidate high-interest debt with a low-interest home equity loan to smartly plan your way out of debt, especially when the interest is tax deductible.     Pay for college or other major expenses using your equity to help spread the amount rather than struggling to come up with an one-time cash payment.     Be careful not to tap your home equity for daily expenses, impulse purchases or to pay off debt on a credit card that you continue to use.

Answer by Erikka 40D
it is worth in to use the home equity or a refin as the absorbing is deductible; presume you can deduct interest against your taxes.Some say not to do that as you then have a potential danger of loosing your home over your student loan, if paying the mortgage is a problem. Student loan interest can be very low compared to home equity or refin interest. You have to balance the two and also conceiving of your housing situation, if you are planning to sell or move in the near future.

BD Nationwide Mortgage Introduces a Second Mortgage and Home Equity Loan Compatible with the Controversial “Pick a Payment Loan” Featuring a Negative Amortization Option

Encinitas, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2006

BD Nationwide Mortgage introduces a break-through second mortgage loan that is compatible with payment option first mortgages featuring options for fixed rate, interest only, and the controversial negative amortization. BD Nationwide is excited to release the “Neg-Am Compatible Second Mortgage Loan.” This unique home equity loan product allows homeowners to qualify for a cash-out second mortgage while keeping their existing payment option loan. This revolutionary equity loan can be subordinated to 100% combined loan to value behind a negative amortization existing first mortgage. This new home equity feature opens the doors for many homeowners who have found it very difficult to get a second mortgage or home equity loan behind any mortgage that has a negative amortization.

Payment option loans have been controversial in the mortgage industry because they are attached to volatile indexes in which the interest rates can adjust rapidly and the borrowers can find their mortgage payment increasing 100% to 200%. Mortgage product analyzers point out that default ratios may increase significantly with these risky loans that allow borrowers to choose their payment each month. Most traditional home equity lenders are weary of offering second mortgages behind this type of loan, because with negative amortization, the interest is deferred and added to the balance of the consumers principal balance at the end of the year. This concerns most mortgage lenders and banks because these consumers have rising mortgage balances rather than the decreasing mortgage balances that traditional principal and interest home mortgages have.

Unfortunately there are too many loan officers that are not properly placing the payment options loans with the right borrowers. Too often the option ARM is offered to borrowers who are trying to increase their home purchase power because initially these loans offer interest rates as low as 1.25 percent and the borrower qualify for a home that would normally be out of their price range. Unfortunately we find that these same homeowners do not have a plan for paying their mortgage when the rate adjusts back to a fully indexed payment. BD Nationwide Mortgage found that borrowers were rarely informed when they financed their home about the potential difficulties for qualifying for a second mortgage behind a negative amortization1st mortgage.

According to IHE executive, Sandy Sarconi, “Adding a home equity loan to a negative amortized 1st mortgages increases the risk factor and most lenders will not allow subordinate financing with payment option mortgages.” BD Nationwide Mortgage is one of the few lending brokers to offer second mortgages behind neg-am loans and payment option 1st mortgages. Even if a borrower is deferring the interest on their first mortgage now, BD Nationwide can help you find a great second mortgage. The mortgage broker offers 2nd mortgages for people with good and bad credit scores ranging from 500-800. BD Nationwide also provides prime rate home equity loans, as well as non-prime second mortgages for people with past late payments, collections or bankruptcies.

Brendon Daly, a Mortgage Consultant at BD Nationwide, said, “This second mortgage enables my clients to get additional cash out of their home without refinancing their current mortgage.” According to Daly, “The payment option loans were designed for the self-employed borrower with cash flow obstacles as well as savvy investors who are freeing up funds to buy more properties.” Daly continued, “These types of borrowers are more likely to use their home equity and take out a second mortgage to raise cash. Being able to offer this 2nd mortgage product to my borrowers may create new opportunities because their are less lending restrictions.”

BD Nationwide Mortgage suggests going online and getting additional advice from experienced mortgage brokers. Start with reading the relevant loan articles. The company also recommends to research loan program parameters and credit qualifications for sub-prime credit second mortgages.

Question by felixjai: More than one home equity loans at a time?
I want to know if I tin get more than one home equity loans at a time for a single house from different banks. Because I’ve applied for a home equity loan from a bank, but it seems to be not enough for me to do what I want to do with the money. So I thought I tin apply for another equity loan from a different bank to double the amount. Is it possible?

Best answer:

Answer by Piper
It depends on the state you live in. In Ma, we’re allowed only two loans against any property. Usually that means you can have a mortgage and one equity loan. If your property is paid for then you can have two equity loans. No bank is going to lend you more than the property is worth, and each loan lower your equity. Talk to a loan officer in your state.

Question by djchuang: How tax deductible are charitable donations and home equity loans?
When they say donations and home equity loans are tax deductible, what does this mean? Does a $ 1000 donation mean $ 1000 less federal income tax? Does $ 1000 paid in interest on a home equity lend mean $ 1000 less federal income tax?

Best answer:

Answer by LifesAMystery
The deductible is to the amount the excised percentage is applied to. So if you make $ 50,000, you can deduct $ 1,000 to make your base $ 49,000. And then 15% is applied to the new base.This is a very basic explanation – a lot more goes into it. But this should give you an idea.
