<p id="body">This may be one of the best times to refinance if there ever was one. The FOMC has just lowered the key target lending rate to less than 1% for the first time in over 50 years. Here are 5 tips to certainly go over before you commit to refinancing:</p>
<p>1) Do your homework!</p>
<p>Know ahead of time what payment amount you are comfortable paying. Use mortgage calculators ( available online) to determine what your payments will be. There are three major variables to compute your mortgage payment and they are your mortgage amount, interest rate, and term (number of months).</p>
<p>2) Shop around!</p>
<p>Shop at least three different and reputable lenders. Know that you&#8217;re comparing the same exact programs with the same terms. Don&#8217;t shop three different lenders with three different programs because there is no way of knowing if you are getting a good deal. The objective here is to analyze three deals of the exact same program (i.e. 30 year fixed rate).</p>
<p>3) Get Good Faith estimates upfront and in writing.</p>
<p>I cannot emphasize enough how important this step is. There are a lot of fast talking salesman out there who are much smarter on the subject than the average consumer. This will help ensure you know what you are getting and help avoid any misunderstandings or misrepresentations down the road. Compare everything but pay special attention to the APR (annualized percentage rate) as this is the &#8220;true interest rate&#8221; because it takes into account your closing costs.</p>
<p>4) Avoid paying any monies upfront.</p>
<p>The only fee you should ever be asked to pay upfront before you close on your mortgage is an appraisal fee. However this should only be done after you already decided on your lender and specifically ask you to. Typically this fee is in the $300 range for an average home although it could go up to $5oo-600 for a larger one.</p>
<p>5) Beware of early redemption charges and variable rate loans.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, this is an opportunistic time to refinance. Conventional and FHA mortgage rates are currently in the 4-5% range. Now is a great time for a fixed rate and conversely, a poor time for an adjustable rate mortgage. Avoid all loans that charge early redemption fees or prepayment penalties for paying off ahead of time.</p>

<p align="justify">Mortgage Acceleration Secrets That Reveals the Fortune That Lies Hidden in Your Home</p>
<p><strong>What is Mortgage Acceleration?</strong></p>
<p>Mortgage acceleration is the method of applying basic math techniques to eliminate or reduce the total balance on a mortgage loan in quick time beyond the natural maturity schedule.</p>
<p>It means that you can payoff your loans much faster than normal, in some cases 10 to 15 years faster.</p>
<p>Mortgage acceleration helps you take advantage of a little-known technique which your interest is dramatically reduced, saving thousands of dollars.</p>
<p>Mortgages can be totally paid off in half of the time without any changes to your budget or lifestyle.</p>
<p><strong>How Does Mortgage Acceleration Work?</strong></p>
<p>Any mortgage loan can be paid off quickly with the help of a debt payoff calculator. The mortgage loan principal is calculated along with the expected simple interest to come to a total, final payoff amount.</p>
<p>You can annoy the banks by making payments in advance, avoiding significant interest added to your account.</p>
<p>Using some basic math methods, you can gain the upper edge, paying much less in interest and applying these savings directly to your mortgage balance.</p>
<p>Mortgage loan acceleration programs reward you for what you are already doing: paying your loan payments and receiving interest on your bank accounts.</p>
<p>This &#8220;secret&#8221; is taking the American marketplace by storm.</p>
<p>Homeowners are taking the bull by the horns, refusing to allow the banks to take advantage of them any longer. Once you find out the secrets techniques, you will ask yourself why you never thought of it before!</p>
<p><strong>What Mortgage Acceleration Does Not Involve?</strong></p>
<p>Mortgage loan acceleration does not require you to participate in a bi-weekly payment plan. You will not make any extra payments on your home, nor must you add $50 to your monthly payment schedule.</p>
<p>It is not necessary to invest your savings or create an adjustable rate mortgage. You will not need to purchase budgeting software or attend informational seminars.</p>
<p>You are not required to spend any more money than what you are currently spending. Mortgage acceleration does not involve miracle cures, fancy solutions, farfetched ideas, or too-good-to-be-true sales methods. The details are all in the simple math behind this.</p>
<p><strong>What are the Benefits of Mortgage Acceleration?</strong></p>
<p>Mortgage acceleration, when executed appropriately, will effectively allow you to completely payoff your loan or mortgage and, in many cases, pay off all of your other debts in half of the time.</p>
<p>The first step of mortgage acceleration plans utilizes a debt payoff calculator to determine how quickly your loan can be paid off. The calculator gives homeowners greater flexibility in terms of accessing your equity and repayment options.</p>
<p>Homeowners who use mortgage acceleration programs and the related debt payoff calculator eliminate several common risk factors of carrying a high mortgage balance such as inability to sell, inability to refinance, and foreclosure.</p>

<p id="body"><img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:zo4_7IT6jxr7gM:http://www.mtgfoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/pics.jpg" alt="Mortgage Lending in UK" align="left" width="116" height="116" />Even before the current mortgage financial crisis mortgage lenders were changing how they did things for the UK market. Traditionally there was always a strong bond towards building societies that were originally set up to be an organisation, which put their profits back into the society for mortgage owners to benefit more, a mutual affair.</p>
<p>But starting from the end of the eighties many so building societies asked for votes from their members to be converted to a bank, where many directors felt they could be more competitive. The reward to the mortgage owner or saver for this yes vote was often free shares, which could be valued at thousands of pounds.</p>
<p>The results are than in the 21st century there are many mortgage lending organisations that still have the perception of being a building society, but in reality are a bank, this perception is there because of their brand history.</p>
<p>Banks are responsible to their shareholders and building societies are responsible to their savers and mortgage customers as a mutual responsibility. Ironically we are seeking that during this credit crisis many of the mutual building societies that are still with us, have faired better than some banks because their investment have been a bit more cautious and less aggressive, something that may have reduced profits in previous years.</p>
<p>Sometimes you may find that consumers assume that the money being lent out to buy their home is from one source but is in fact from another, as many mortgage lenders buy in the loan from another lender, with a profit attached of course, just as a supermarket buys in food at one price and sells it at another.</p>
<p>Here are some Mortgage Lenders who are still deemed as Building Societies currently</p>
<p>-Nationwide Building Society<br />
-Britannia Building Society<br />
-Yorkshire Building Society<br />
-Coventry Building Society</p>
<p>Up until recently many financial organisations were taking on Mortgages even if they did not have a bricks and mortar presence as the internet has opened up a more aggressive financial market place, where interest rates and offers became more transparent to all who had access to a computer.</p>
<p>This meant that with enough funds other financial institutions such as insurance companies could buy, then sell on mortgages, but use the strength of the internet and TV advertising to sell them, rather than needing a high street bank building to arrange the loan.</p>

<p id="body">Are you considering a reverse mortgage, but you are unsure of what you are getting into? There are many things that you need to know when talking about this type of loan and you need to be informed before you go shopping around for the best one. So, what is reverse mortgage lending?</p>
<p>This type of lending targets senior citizens that are at least 62 years old. From the lenders point of view, they are willing to give you your home equity now without any payments knowing that sooner or later you will move on to an assisted living facility or pass away. At that time they will take over your home and sell it to get the money that is owed.</p>
<p>They make money from this type of loan in two ways. They will make a small fee that they charge at the time of the loan, usually around 2-5% of the loan amount, then they also make any appreciation on the home. So if you have a $100,000 home, they will make between $2,000 and $5,000 right away and if it appreciates over 10, 15, 20, 30 years or longer, then they get all that when they sell it as well.</p>
<p>From the borrowers point of view, this is a great way to take advantage of your home equity now instead of later. You can cash in and have a large amount of money to add to your retirement account, which can be making you interest to help you live on as well. It benefits you more because the average home only appreciates about 3% annually and you could be using that money to earn 10% or more in a mutual fund or retirement account.</p>
<p>If you need money to help you retire, then knowing the answer to what is reverse mortgage lending, may just be your answer.</p>
<p>Discover everything that a reverse mortgage can do for you including the benefits and the disadvantages here:</p>

<p><font color="#000000">Citi mortgage is a nationwide home mortgage lending company. A lending unit of Citigroup, the company offers mortgages to first time buyers, to individuals who need refinancing, and to senior citizens interested in tapping into the equity of their homes.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, citi mortgage offers several mortgage loan products for borrowers looking forward to buying their first homes and for existing homeowners needing to refinance their homes.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The two main citi mortgage products are fixed rate mortgage and adjustable rate mortgage. Fixed rate mortgage offers an unchanging interest rate from beginning to end of loan term. Loan terms this type of mortgage product vary from 10-40 years.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) typically has a lower interest rate for a set initial period. When the set period is over, the mortgage loan reverts to the mortgage company&#8217;s standard variable rate. This means that your monthly payments would then vary with the changes of rates in the mortgage market. Available initial interest rate periods for ARM are: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Interest-only loan is also available from the mortgage company. With interest only loan program, the borrower is required to</font><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3204/2661690032_0baa116bca.jpg?v=0" align="left" /><font color="#000000"> pay off only the interest of the loan each month.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Other products of the company designed to help future and existing homeowners include: construction and renovation loan, refinance loans, equity loans, and FHA and VA loans. FHA and VA loans are the lowest cost loans, and require little or no down payment.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Application for a loan can be done through the internet, by phone, and in person. When applying online, make sure that the server you are using is secure. If your loan is approved, the mortgage company will UPS you the terms, conditions, and other documents that you need to sign and send back to citi mortgage.</font></p>

<p id="body"><img src="http://www.mtgfoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/interest_rates_12big.jpg" align="absmiddle" width="200" height="50" />During times of economic slowdown, the Federal Reserves Bank decides on the appropriate measures how to deal with the situation. There are two main economic policies on how to fix an ailing economy. One is through fiscal policy wherein taxes and government spending are being dealt, while the other is through monetary policy of central banks that focus mostly on interest rates.</p>
<p>The US Federal Reserve Bank tweaks interest rates during an economic bust or boom to keep matters in equilibrium. The Fed Board meets to discuss this decision. When interest rates are treated, this signals that there is neither too much money supply nor too little going around the economic system. When interest rates rise or fall, the banking sector absorbs the blow. Although different sectors of the economy will be affected in the long run, its effect on the mortgage interest rates do not happen in an instant.</p>
<p>Fed rates are indicators for banks overnight borrowings to maintain reserve requirements to avoid bank runs. The Fed usually increases interest rates to calm rising inflation and cut the supply of money in the economy. During recession, the Fed nips it to curb recessionary effects. Inflation and recession then influence the mortgage rates giving it some time before the impact is felt.</p>
<p>When banks approve loans for purposes of purchasing new homes or refinancing, banks then resell them to Fannie Mae (FNMA), a nationalized mortgage company, or Ginnie Mae (GNMA). The funds obtained from these financial institutions will be used again to finance more loans.</p>
<p>These financing agencies belong to the secondary lender market wherein the funds they use to buy out loans from banks come from selling their securities as bonds. These securities are billion dollars worth of individual mortgages to be sold. Once these mortgage-backed securities are repackaged as bonds, people and other institutions perceive these as secure investments. Stocks and bonds usually go up against each other in the market as form of investments. When the demand for bonds is high, meaning interest rates are attractive, its effect is felt in the stock market wherein there is a dip in the investments, and vice versa.</p>
<p>For these bonds to lure more dollars, there should be a higher rate of return, which then translates to high interest rates of mortgages sold. This activity drives interest rates of mortgages to vary every day. Mortgage rates vary, depending on economic conditions of different countries according to different lenders.</p>
<p>Several economic indicators influence a lender&#8217;s decision to determine a viable interest charge to mortgages. If a country is experiencing economic lag due to default rates in different sectors such as banking or property, lenders draw back in giving out loans. And when they do amidst higher risks, they set assurance by imposing high interest rates.</p>
<p>Lenders also have to consider the qualification of clients such as credit scores. They also check for debt-to-income and loan-to-value ratios. Loans differ accordingly; that is why the advice of a professional mortgage planner should be sought.</p>

<p id="body">So you are thinking of retirement? One factor that you need to learn about and keep in mind is a reverse mortgage, even if you do not use it now.</p>
<p>What is a reverse mortgage? It is a loan that is the opposite or the reverse of a standard mortgage loan.</p>
<p>With a normal mortgage, you borrow money and use your home as collateral. You make monthly payments. As you make your payments, your home debt amount goes down and your home equity goes up. Equity is the difference between what your home is worth and how much you owe on your mortgage.</p>
<p>With a reverse mortgage, you also borrow money and use your home as collateral. However, you do not make any monthly payments. Because you do not make payments, as time passes, your home debt amount goes up and your home equity goes down. This is the reverse of a standard home mortgage. <a href="http://financeinside.fubix.net/refinance/reverse-mortgage-money-for-retirement/#more-186" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p><font color="#000000"><strong>The most powerful weapon</strong></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">No doubt, the mortgage checking account is a powerful weapon for a homeowner. It allows you to become a financial genius overnight and can change your life around. It is a simple tool that allows you to pay less mortgage interest than you have to, and you can use the interest &#8220;savings&#8221; to pay off your current mortgage, free up extra cash, go on a vacation &#8230;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">But!</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><strong>There is one SMALL challenge&#8230;</strong></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The banks do not want you to use this to pay off your mortgage early. Therefore, they end up restricting the functions and will try to penalize you for using this account.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Here is the dilemma&#8230;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">If your mortgage checking account is not set-up correctly, you could end up spending more money in bank charges than you would have originally saved. In fact, I have personally seen over 37 clients setting up their mortgage checking account, begin saving but ending up worse off as a result of the &#8216;hidden charges&#8221;, rather than just paying their normal monthly mortgage payment.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><strong>John&#8217;s Costly Mistakes</strong></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">I had a client, John, who was really excited about using the mortgage checking account. Prior to meeting me, he read an e-book, in his excitement called up the bank, and set up the mortgage checking account immediately. The bank assured him that the account was set correctly and off he went.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Within the first month, John had bank charges well over $350. He soon realized all the interest savings he generated by using the mortgage checking account was completely wiped out by the bank charges and he eventually ended up paying more to the bank more than he had to.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">He was furious and by chance happened to talk to me. I knew exactly what went wrong and after analyzing his statement we were able to pinpoint some of the errors:</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">1.	The bank charged him $20 every time he withdrew cash from his mortgage checking account.<br />
2.	He was charged $5 each time he made an online bill payment from his account<br />
3. He was charged additional fees, which are part of the standard contract, and of course, no one informed him he had the ability to decline those fees any time he wished. Knowing this simple piece of information could have saved him over $235 a year.<br />
4.	The bank froze his checking account after 3 months of use.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Just stop and imagine for a second, when your entire financial life lies in your checking account and your account is frozen.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><strong>And this was just the tip of the iceberg.</strong></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">As you can imagine this caused a huge amount of pain and frustration. He went from excitement to the house of pain within three months.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">You must take <strong>one critical step</strong> before you set up your mortgage checking account. This one step alone will solve 80% of all the problems with your mortgage checking account.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The key is to recognize that your mortgage checking account is not a &#8220;traditional checking account,&#8221; but it needs to be set up correctly so that it functions as a checking account. If not this could cost you hundreds of dollars.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">I still agree that the mortgage checking is the most powerful tool and will give you an unfair advantage to generate a significant amount of savings, if you apply these techniques correctly.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><strong>You do not have to discover these costly mistakes through trial and error.</strong></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">There is a lot of conflicting information on the mortgage account and how to set this account correctly. Go directly to <a href="http://www.eqxl.com/acceleratorcalculator" id="link_75" target="_new">http://www.eqxl.com/acceleratorcalculator</a> and do a quick calculation to find out how much you can save.

<p><font color="#000000">Getting a mortgage after bankruptcy may seem like a dream to many people but the reality is that even with the current credit crunch it can still be done. And after the sub prime mortgage boom there is a large number of home owners who need to refinance that have had a bankruptcy in the past few years</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">During the refinance and housing boom of the last ten years mortgage lenders were giving mortgages to anyone with a pulse. Bankruptcies and bad credit did not matter. The current mortgage market is a little different and a little more cautious. When you are trying to get a mortgage after bankruptcy in todays market you are going to face some difficult challenges and a few rejections along the way.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The first challenge is to find a bankruptcy lender. Many of the sub prime lenders who wrote these loans are long gone. There are still some sub prime bankruptcy lenders out there you just have to look a little hard for them. Keep in mind though that you will only need a bankruptcy mortgage lender if you trying to refinance or buy a home very soon after you bankruptcy is discharged.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">If your bankruptcy is over two years old you may qualify for an FHA home loan. The FHA home loan requires you to have credit of at least 580 or 620 depending on the lender and show some re established credit accounts. You may also have to have your loan manually underwritten if you have had a bankruptcy. Some lenders are currently charging for manual underwriting this others are not.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">If you have been out of your bankruptcy over four years you should be able to qualify for a conventional loan as long as you have re established your credit and improved your credit score above 680. If you have not improved your credit then you will have to look at the FHA or sub prime loan for your mortgage after bankruptcy needs.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">You cannot afford to look for a <a href="http://www.milwaukeehomeloans.net/content/is_there_a_mortgage_after_bankruptcy_11.htm" id="link_75" target="_new">Mortgage After Bankruptcy</a> with arming yourself with the right information.

<p><font color="#000000">Mortgages for people with bad credit are becoming an endangered species. To find out what is happening and whether you will be able to get one talk to a mortgage broker online soon. Mortgages for people with bad credit can incur higher rates of interest, so make sure you get several quotes before making a decision. You can save time using our free enquiry service; simply fill in the form and an adviser will take all the hard work out of finding the best quotes. Mortgages for people with bad credit too help borrowers in a similar manner.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The most important factor that determines whether a person is can procure a loan for himself or not is the fact, whether is past credit history is stable enough or not. All factors depend on his past record of handling credits. A bad credit history implies that his appeal for a loan would be rejected and won&#8217;t be met in most of the places. And the worst part is that, if the concerned individual in his past has ever been declared as bankrupt or had a foreclosure, then for sure the borrower would face difficulties when he tries to get a financing for a home mortgage purchase, home equity or second mortgage loan. But the gab that home loans are not available for people with bad credit history is just a baseless myth.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Mortgages for people with bad credit rating are getting rarer and rarer. This is causing a pretty desperate situation in the market place especially as it?s estimated that as many as one in five people in Britain don?t meet the general high street lending criteria.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Since these loans are available to people with bad credit history too. The way however to find such a kind of loan, however is to be to be persistent in looking out for such kind of loans, because there are home mortgage loans for people with bad credit.The basic problems involving, the process of procuring loan arises from the activities of sub-prime lenders. These are those lenders who actually work really hard for fetching loans for the people with bad credit background and low credit score and then the charge absolutely unreasonable price for the job. Borrowers should be careful of borrowing money from sub-prime lenders, as they can charge high interest rates which, comparatively are too high than the market rate. Not only this, but these lenders also charge unreasonable pre-payment penalties.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Lenders will most often require one or two percent beyond the Base Rate as their SVR (standard variable rate). This suggests that when the Base rate goes up, so also will your mortgage rates, that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called &#8216;variable&#8217; because your monthly payments could vary. Lenders help them by providing competitive rate mortgages. Individuals with a poor credit score or bad credit rating are also facilitated with this. Lenders always review, in detail, all of your information on your credit file to make sure that you are risk free investment. They will also enquire about your income and spending to assure your ability to repay them on time.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Online articles are posted in websites to inform the borrowers about their existence and caution them.However, it&#8217;s not absolutely impossible to find lenders who give out loans at reasonable rates and agreeable charges, to people who have a bad credit history. All a borrower needs to do is look around and talk to different mortgage brokers, which would prove to be helpful to find a lender, that can get them an approved loan with a reasonable interest rate and fair terms of repayment.Things that the borrower, should make sure about, are that he makes use of the lowest interest rate and terms possible.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Specially a borrower with a bad credit history and bad credit score should make sure that he sends application for loans to a number of different lenders, since it would be sensible for him to make comparison between different mortgage loan quotes, so that he makes sure that he chooses the best one.</font></p>

<p align="justify">Having a mortgage on a house is a quick way to generate a remarkable number of different companies sending letters offering to refinance the balance of the mortgage. Some of them are embarassingly lame, with poorly printed letters tucked into envelopes hand addressed without return addresses. Those aren&#8217;t too bad, because it&#8217;s at least obvious that it&#8217;s a solicitation and can be easily discarded.</p>
<p align="justify"> But every so often a letter arrives that&#8217;s just upsetting, and that&#8217;s what happened this weekend when we received the following letter from PSI Financial Corporation of Denver, Colorado:</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">
<blockquote><p> <em>our names and address</em></p>
<p>Customer ID: # 70-1N-18-3-31-005-4043203 <strong>2nd Notice</strong></p>
<p>Based on your original loan amount of $xx and your closing date of x/x/xx, your current loan should be transferred to the following portfolio ARM. NOTE: take advantage of the RECENT drop in CountryW and WM&#8217;s ARM margins and effective APR (4.09%).</p>
<p><strong>Recommended Portfolio ARM Product</strong><br />
We strongly recommend you to transfer your current loan (listed above) to the WM&#8217;s or Countrywid [sic] Portfolio ARM. The rate/APR will decrease to 4.09%. Your 1st year savings will be over $602/mo or $7224/yr.</p>
<p><em>continues with various &#8220;analysis&#8221; of monthly payments, which of course increase each year because it&#8217;s an adjustable rate mortgage instrument.</em></p>
<p>Please call for details,<br />
James G. Park</p></blockquote>
<p>The letter continues, but what bothers me about this method of solicitation is that they try to deliberately scare the recipient and present their come-on as if it were coming from your own bank, or endorsed by your bank. The &#8220;2nd Notice&#8221; is particularly galling since the generic envelope also had &#8220;Second Notice&#8221; prominently displayed too. I don&#8217;t have a problem with independent mortgage resellers trying to sell me on a particular mortgage instrument, but I really do have a problem with them packaging and presenting their pitch as if it were legit, legal or otherwise important. It&#8217;s not. <a href="http://financeinside.fubix.net/refinance/mortgage-and-refinance-letters-that-get-me-mad/#more-182" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<h2>How to Sell Your Home on a Land Contract</h2>
<p id="byline">By <a href="http://homebuying.about.com/mbiopage.htm" onclick="zT(this,'18/1YF/Zf')">Elizabeth Weintraub</a>, About.com</p>
<p id="qtCtt"><a href="http://homebuying.about.com/od/financingadvice/qt/LandContracts.htm">Land contracts</a> are useful instruments for sellers who are selling a home and contemplating carrying the financing for a buyer. It gives sellers a built-in income and generally a better interest rate than rates offered on money market accounts or certificates of deposit. However, a prudent seller should take steps to protect equity and ensure the buyer can fulfill the terms of the land contract.</p>
<h3><strong>Difference Between a Land Contract and a Mortgage</strong></h3>
<p>Land contracts are security agreements between a seller, known as a Vendor, and a buyer, known as a Vendee. The Vendor carries the financing for the Vendee, which may or may not contain an underlying loan. The basic difference between a land contract and a mortgage is the buyer does not receive a <a href="http://homebuying.about.com/od/titleinsurance/qt/REdeeds.htm">deed</a> or clear title to the property until the land contract is paid off.</p>
<p>Some states have laws that treat a land contract similar to a trust deed, and those land contracts provide for a trustee, giving a trustee &#8220;power of sale&#8221; to initiate foreclosure proceedings in the event the Vendee defaults on the contract. Other states give buyers a longer period of redemption, similar to those under a mortgage. For these reasons, it is important to reduce the chances of default by qualifying the Vendee. <a href="http://financeinside.fubix.net/refinance/using-land-contracts-on-homes-for-sale/#more-181" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p align="justify">As a homeowner with a mortgage, you might be tempted to take advantage of all those ads on the radio, television, and Net telling you that it&#8217;s a great time to refinance your mortgage and get yourselfa lower interest rate and lower monthly payments. However, the decision to look into refinancing must be carefully considered before you leap into action.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">You first need to check the going rates and compare them against your present one. Just because rates have lowered does not automatically mean that you will lower your monthly payment by refinancing. In fact, if you are not smart, you could possibly end up with a higher monthly payment, or with finding yourself having to shell out more money in the long run than you do at present. If you cannot lower your interest rate by at least two full percentage points, then refinancing your home for the sake of saving money is not a good idea.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">When you refinance, you might very well take out a longer loan than you presently have, and even more likely you&#8217;ll be adding years right back on to the ones you have remaining. For example, let&#8217;s say that you have paid down your 30 year fixed rate mortgage to where you only have 18 years left to pay on it, but you feel that you would do well to save money per month by refinancing into a new 30-year contract that offers you a substantially lower interest rate and a savings of a couple hundred dollars per month. You need to keep in mind the future: you will now have erased 12 years of payments, in essence. Many people don&#8217;t like the idea of having to spend 42 years of their lives paying off a mortgage.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">Arguably the best reason to refinance you mortgage is for the purpose of debt consolidation and lowering your overall monthly bills, especially if that can involve paying off outstanding credit card debt, which carries exorbitantly high interest rates on it. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you and your prospective lender(s) done your math on how much money you will save, or how much you will actually be paying in the long run. <a href="http://financeinside.fubix.net/refinance/mortgage-refinance-loans-all-about-loans-understanding-mortgage-refinance-loans/#more-180" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p align="justify">Hello, NNN readers. I’m looking forward to answering your questions about most anything having to do with money, finances and planning. We’ll start with a question I received at work:</p>
<p><strong>Q. Is it worth it to refinance my home now that the interest rates have fallen? My current loan is a 30-year-fixed loan at 7.25 percent that has 24 years remaining.</strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>A</strong>. It all depends on the type of loan and which institution is lending you the money. You will need to get an estimate of the rate you will qualify for. Talk to your mortgage broker or loan officer and they should be able to tell you the going rate you will be qualified to get.</p>
<p align="justify">There are many formulas for calculating the rates and best time to refinance. There used to be all sorts of “rules of thumb” that were used to indicate the proper timing to refinance. Let’s make this very simple.</p>
<p align="justify">You need to determine your break-even point. The break-even point is the time it takes to make up in monthly savings what you will pay in closing costs and fees. <a href="http://financeinside.fubix.net/refinance/with-interest-rates-so-low-should-i-refinance-my-home/#more-179" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>
