Home Equity
The reverse mortgage is also an adjustable rate mortgage, but is unique because the homeowner (who must be 62 years or older) is at no time obligated to make monthly payments on the loan. The amount of the equity on the home is made available to the owner in full, in monthly advances or as a line of credit, only to be repaid after the life of the owner through the sale of the home or by the family if they would like to keep the home.

Land Loan
It is not uncommon for land loans to carry an interest rate that is a few points higher because of the added risk. For this reason it is sensible to make a sizable down payment on the land loan because it will be rolled into a single mortgage with your construction loan once the property is finished. Because land is often snatched up quickly once it becomes available it pays to talk to a lender before beginning your hunt to discuss your finance options so you can move quickly when land becomes available.

Mortgage Calculation
Amortization is the repayment schedule for both the principal and interest of your mortgage which is usually made by equal payments on a monthly basis.. Mortgage calculation shows what this monthly payment will be, depending on certain loan terms, including, loan amount, interest rate, and term. If your loan term is 15 years, your interest rate is 7%, and your loan amount is $150,000, your monthly payment comes to $1,348. Mortgage calculation can also show you that your total interest paid of the life of this loan would be $92,683. Some people would look at these figures and decide that $1,348 is too high a monthly payment that will not fit into the budget. In this case, you could change around the terms, for example, switch to a 30 year term, which would drop the monthly payment by $351, making it $997 monthly, but would double the amount of interest paid over the life of the loan.

Other basic but important terms to understand are:

• Principal is the amount borrowed (on which interest acts) which is repaid monthly
• Amortization is the process of repaying the amount borrowed through monthly payments of principal and interest.
• Negative amortization is when the monthly payment is not high to adequately pay the loan off. In this case interest builds too quickly and the principal grows instead of decreasing. This can occur because of lender scams or because of monthly payment caps.
• Equity is the value of your house left over after subtracting the total of your mortgage. If your house has a market value of $130,000 and a mortgage of $100,000, the equity is $30,000.
• An index is used to determine the rate on an adjustable rate loan. For some loans this rate may be the Prime Rate or the average rate of a one year Government Treasury Security.
