Mortgage Info You Can Actually Understand!
By: Ailsa Forshaw

This is a great time to Refinance Your Home or Buy a New Home the Mortgage Rates are so low these days! Its always worth a shot to find out what the costs of switching over to a new mortgage would be to see if thats the right move for you.

Whether you are building your own house buying a new property gathering funds to do a renovation project or Refinancing your current Mortgage at a much Lower Rate youll be looking for Funding Money Money & More Money! Here are some commonly asked questions regarding funding for a Mortgage or a Home Improvement Loan.

Where should I go first to get a Mortgage

You can go to the Loans Department of your regular bank or you can go directly to a Mortgage Broker. (Click on the Mortgage Company Ads on www.buildyourownhouse.ca to see if thats the easiest way for you to get the money you need... At the very least itll tell you how much youre qualified for and the online Lenders have Rates the Banks have a hard time competing with. Its all about Saving Money so check into it all first its a big financial decision! You can always take your information youve gotten Online to the Bank if they cant or wont match it theres your decision right there! haha!).

Keep in mind that it is generally easier to work with a Broker since they have the ability to be a lot more flexible than a conventional bank. Also their rates will often be considerably lower than what the banks are offering too so shop around this could save you a fair bit of money. Brokers can often get a mortgage for clients that a bank wont even touch and theyll do it at your convenience for the most part so you can have a more relaxed meeting with them.

What questions will a Broker ask somebody whos looking for a Mortgage

There are three main things you will be required to provide:

i.Verification of Income

ii.How much and where the Down Payment is coming from

iii.Personal information for Credit Checks (Birthday Social Security Number Address Job Letters Pay Stubs 3 years worth of Tax Returns 3 months worth of Bank Statements any current Retirement Savings Funds)

Your Banker or Broker will want to confirm your ability to qualify by doing a GDS Ratio (Gross Debt Ratio) and a TDS Ratio (Total Debt Ratio).

A Gross Debt Ratio is determined by taking the Mortgage Payment the Property Taxes and a Heat Component (really hot areas will be exempt from this Im guessing!) which is usually around $50.00. These numbers are added together. That number is multiplied by 12 then divided by your Gross Income Amount. This number cant exceed 32% of your Gross Income. Some banks &/or brokers may have different criteria but this is a commonly used method to see if a client can qualify for a mortgage.

The Total Debt Ratio takes the above information (the GDS Ratio) along with all other debts and payments (whatever else you have to pay per month credit cards support payments etc.) to make sure that the Grand Total of all of your payments including the new mortgage and taxes wont exceed 40% of your Gross Income.

N.B. Dont get too hung up on the math thats the job of the banker or broker. This is just info to give you a good understanding of how they get their numbers.

What if someone has a job that is technically referred to as Parttime but they make a Fulltime wage. Can they qualify for a Mortgage

You can apply through a Mortgage Broker (probably your best bet) to see how much your Gross Income will allow you to qualify for. It is particularly beneficial if you have a solid work history (have been at the job for a few years or more). A Broker will know how to present the documentation to help you get a mortgage. This is particularly important now since so many companies and Government Services hire Parttime or Contract employees. These can be career positions and you can be there for fifteen years and still be flatly turned down by the regular banks. Dont give up on your dream to own your own home because youre in a situation like this call a Mortgage Broker and give it a shot. If that still doesnt work try another one. Whats the harm At the very least you can get an honest answer of what you need to do in order to become qualified. Either way youll be that much closer to owning your own place and thats the goal!

Is there an easy way to calculate a Mortgage

Theres a formula that I use that is relatively accurate give or take a hundred dollars or so. At the very least youll get a ballpark idea of your monthly payment (not including the Tax portion) and whether you can qualify for that amount. Remember that when youre qualifying for Mortgage money if youre even $80.00 over what they think you can pay you wont get the mortgage. Its best to PreQualify for a mortgage and ask how much you will qualify for before you go househunting. Keep in mind that as the Interest Rates get lower the more youll be able to qualify for. Dont go crazy though since all the costs go up as you increase in house size and the monthly operating costs might end up being higher than you thought then youve got a big house and a crappy lifestyle. Stay within your means; stay happy and comfortable.

The Formula remember its a ballpark number

On a 25 year Term you would take the Percentage Rate (say 5%) and multiply that out by the number of thousand (say $100000.) which would give you a mortgage payment of about $500./month (5 X 100 = $500.) plus Taxes. So if youve found a house for $165000.00 and the rate is 5% (based on a 25 yr. Term) the payment would be around $825.00 plus taxes per month. (5 X 165 = 825)

We use this formula all the time its functional to see if you can even come close to being able to afford a particular property. If you always find yourself looking at the properties worth $300000. when you can actually afford a $75000. property do the math figure out what you can really buy and get that. Its better to buy something already in your range save your money wait until your place has gained in equity then make the move up. Have your Broker or Banker let you know how much you can spend and have that updated every year or so depending on how long it takes you to find a place to purchase especially when the rates are fluctuating so much. Also your Broker will tell you the exact payment.

Can I qualify for a Mortgage based on the lowest rates out there

Different Lending Institutions will have different rules but you will generally have to qualify under their 3 Year Rate which will be higher than the lowest rates available. Some institutions will use the 5 Year Rate (primarily regular banks).

Whats the difference betwee
