WHAT IS MORTGAGE LOAN

MORTGAGE:

Mortgage is the transfer of an interest in property to a lender as a security for a debt usually a loan of money. While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is the lender's security for a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower. To clearly understand this term in this article I will also discuss mortgage rates, mortgage lenders, sub prime lenders, mortgage refinancing and mortgage companies.

MORTGAGE LOAN:

A mortgage loan is a loan secured by real property through the use of a document which evidences the existence of the loan and the encumbrance of that realty through the granting of a mortgage which secures the loan. However, the word mortgage alone, in everyday usage, is most often used to mean mortgage loan.

A home buyer or builder can obtain financing (a loan) either to purchase or secure against the property from a financial institution, such as a bank, either directly or indirectly through intermediaries. Features of mortgage loans such as the size of the loan, maturity of the loan, interest rate, method of paying off the loan, and other characteristics can vary considerably.

·        BASIC CONCEPT OF MORTGAGE LOAN:

According to Anglo-American property law, a mortgage occurs when an owner pledges his interest as security or collateral for a loan. Therefore, a mortgage is a limitation on the right to the property just as an easement would be, but because most mortgages occur as a condition for new loan money, the word mortgage has become the generic term for a loan secured by such real property.

As with other types of loans, mortgages have an interest rate and are scheduled to amortize over a set period of time, typically 30 years. All types of real property can, and usually are, secured with a mortgage and bear an interest rate that is supposed to reflect the lender's risk.

MORTGAGE LENDERS/BROKERS:

A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary who sells mortgage loans on behalf of individuals or businesses. Traditionally, banks and other lending institutions have sold their own products. However as markets for mortgages have become more competitive, the role of the mortgage broker has become more popular. Today in most developed mortgage markets (especially in Canada, the U.S., the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Spain) mortgage brokers are the largest sellers of mortgage products for lenders.

·        SUB PRIME LENDERS:

Sub prime lending is a financial term that involves financial institutions lending in ways which do not meet "prime" standards to an extent which puts the loans into the riskiest category of consumer loans typically sold in the secondary market. These standards refer to the size of the loan, "traditional" or "nontraditional" structure of the loan, borrower credit rating, ratio of borrower debt to income or assets, ratio of loan to value or collateral.

·        SUBPRIME BORROWERS:

Sub prime borrowers show data on their credit reports associated with higher default rates, including limited debt experience, excessive debt, a history of missed payments, failures to pay debts, and recorded bankruptcies.

In simple words a sub prime borrower is one who cannot qualify for prime financing terms but can qualify for sub prime financing terms. The failure to qualify for prime financing is due primarily to low credit scores. A very low score will disqualify. A middling score might or might not, depending mainly on the down payment, the ratio of total expense to income, and ability to document income and assets.

·        SUBPRIME LENDING TERMS:

Sub-prime lenders based their rates and fees on the same factors as prime lenders. For example, rates were higher the lower the credit score and the smaller the down-payment. However, the entire structure of rates and fees was higher at sub-prime lenders to cover the greater risk and higher costs of sub-prime lending.

Sub-prime lending costs are also higher because more applications are rejected and marketing costs are higher. Among sub prime loans that don’t default, a higher percentage prepay early.

·        WHAT ARE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE LOANS?

A borrower's FICO score and loan-to-value ratio determine the type of loan a borrower will qualify for and, typically, low FICOs, coupled with high ratios such as 100% financing, result in sub prime loans.

·        Sub prime loans carry higher interest rates than do conventional loans for higher-rated, A-paper borrowers.

·        Certain types of sub prime loans such as "no documentation" or "stated income" are funded at even higher interest rates, sometimes several points above traditional loans.

·        Most are adjustable-rate mortgages.

MORTGAGE REFINANCING:

Refinancing is when you apply for a secured loan in order to pay off another different loan secured against the same assets, property etc. If this original loan had a fixed interest rate mortgage which has now declined considerably, then you would like to avail of a new loan at a more favorable interest rate.

·        HOME REFINANCING:

Typically home refinancing is done when you have a mortgage on your home and apply for a second loan to pay off the first one. While taking the decision to go for the home refinancing option, it is important to first determine whether the amount you save on interests balances the amount of fees payable during refinancing.
