If you kick off, "mortgage protection" protects the mortgagee. That's the guy who gets paid. Instead of just benefiting them, benefit whomever you are leaving behind, with a REAL life insurance policy. It probably won't cost you much more, either.
Who Has The Best Mortgage Insurance?
Question by Lsie | Posted in Insurance
Buying a new house and not sure where the best place to get insurance. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheap but Good Thanks
Answer: No idea, if you mean PMI, private mortgage insurance (you get no choice in that, your mortgage company will buy it for you), mortgage life insurance (a ripoff product, you're better off buying standard life insurance), mortgage disability insurance (also silly, you want disability insurance that pays YOU, not your mortgage company), or homeowners insurance (go to the agent that writes your car insurance, for massive discounts on BOTH policies).
Is It Still Possible For Me To Get A Mortgage With No Money Down?
Question by Judoka | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
It looks like I will be facing a divorce in the next few months and I'm curious to find out if it's possible for me to get a mortgage. There are some properties that are so cheap that between mortgage, taxes, and insurance (including PMI) my monthly payment would be a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than if I rented. My credit score is really high and I have never been delinquent on any loan I've had.
Answer: 100% financing is no more. Save some money, take out a personal loan if it makes sense (if you have a good income and the places you are buying are cheap then it makes sense, if not it may hurt you getting a mortgage so be careful), borrow from friends and family (better really... FHA also allows a portion of your downpayment to be from gifts) or get a settlement from your divorce. For example, give up the miles and other things for what you'll need as downpayment or get a lawyer that can get you what you need. You should have at least 3% (better if 5% to 20%) of the purchase price. Also, you may not want to bring this up during divorce. There have been cases were things you acquire after the
We bought our house in 2002 for $79,900. Because we put no money down, we had to obtain Mortgage insurance. If I understand correctly, this would have to be carried as long as their was less than 20% equity in the home.
When we bought the house, there was fear that the local Navy base would close and people were selling their homes to anyone who could breath. We got our house cheap and with a 5.7% fixed interest rate.
The base stayed open and close to 2,000 jobs have been added. Home construction is booming here. At last check, Zillow.com says our house is worth $171,000 after falling from a high of $206,000.
My question is, shouldn't I be able to
Answer: According to federal law (the Homeowners’ Protection Act), it can be canceled the date the remaining principle balance of the loan is first scheduled to reach 80% of the original value of the property, or the date the principle balance actually reaches 80%. There are also stipulations including requirements for a good payment history and no subordinate liens.
I've Been Paying Mortgage Insurance For 3 Years Now. When Can I Stop?
Question by Mark S | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I have asked my lender to drop the PMI ($330 / mo!) but they refuse because I've been late on a few payments. Doesn't it make sense that if they drop the PMI I would be better able to stay current on the loan as it would cost $330 less each month? Nor can I refinance because nobody else will make a loan to me because of those late payments. I never would have been late had my payments been $330 cheaper. AND, I never would have taken the loan if the $330 monthly charge would have been disclosed to me prior to closing. Any suggestions?
Answer: Your PMI (mortgage insurance) will only automatically terminate after you've reached 22% equity in your home, EXCEPT when you've had late payments within the last year.
