FHA Loans
FHA insured loans are also available to teachers and officers as a part of a HUD’s efforts to revitalize low to moderate income neighborhoods. Full-time state certified teachers, whether employed by public school or private, can purchase a home in their district using a FHA insured loan as long as they are in good standing with their employer. Likewise, full-time police officers can purchase a home with a fifty percent discount using a FHA insured loan and a $100.00 down payment.

Bad Credit Refinance
If interest rates have dropped considerably since you obtained your loan, refinancing now can help you lock in the current low rate. Also, if your loan term is too short or too long, refinancing can help you find the repayment period that suites you best. If the terms of your loan are not what you need, you do not have to suffer with it for the next ten to twenty years. Refinance and find the loan that you want.

Home Equity
Home equity is the amount of the value of your home that you own, meaning what you have already paid for. This amount can be calculated by subtracting your mortgage from the total market value of your home. For example a house worth $180,000 with a $100,000 mortgage has an equity of $80,000. Generally, lenders will allow a homeowner to borrow 80-85% of their home equity. Fill out our short form to contact lenders about your home equity loan.

Rates
Your interest rate is perhaps the most important factor of your loan and can often decide whether or not you will be happy with your loan in the long run. Current interest rates are widely considered to be remarkably low and locking in a low interest rate can save you money.

Mortgage Calc
The numbers determined by a mortgage calc should be considered estimates and should be used as a tool in preparation for obtaining a loan, not as a primary resource for the repayment of your loan. Lenders will provide information on the amortization of your loan. Small discrepancies between the information given by a mortgage calc and that given by a lender can often be attributed to the differences in how fractions of a penny are processed by both parties. Research and planning can help you find the mortgage that really suits you. Apply online to contact lenders about your mortgage or use our mortgage calc to find out more about your mortgage terms.

Mortgage Refiancing
Also, homeowners with an adjustable rate mortgage can use refinancing as an opportunity to switch to a fixed rate. If you are uncomfortable with the risk of an adjustable rate and want to get a loan with a fixed rate while interest rates are low, refinancing your mortgage now would give you a great opportunity to do so.

Refinancing Your Home
Refinancing is much the same process as obtaining a first home loan. Credit and income both come into play when designing your new loan, and if either has diminished since your original loan, it may not pay to refinance.
