YOUR MORTGAGE GUIDE Whether you’re looking to make a first-time purchase, refresh an existing home or simply leverage built-up equity for other reasons, it’s important to figure out which path is right for you and understand the lending options available.
If planning to make some improvements to a much-loved residence, consider financing the updates through a home equity line of credit (HELOC). Eligibility depends on how much equity has been built up in the home and the lender’s loan-to-value ratio.
First-time buyers must start with determining what is affordable. In addition to the mortgage payment, housing costs will include property taxes, homeowners insurance and fees, such as homeowner association dues. Altogether, costs should be no more than 28 percent of monthly gross income and should leave room to continue servicing other debt, such as student loans, credit cards or auto loans.
Another option for financing a project through a home’s equity is a home equity loan (HELOAN). As with a mortgage, the loan is granted as a lump sum and is paid back in installments over time, typically 10-15 years and at a fixed rate locked in at the time of securing the loan. Remember to consult a professional for advice applicable to your specific situation. Start with a lender who can help you identify financial options available to homebuyers and owners today. With careful planning and budgeting, the financing you need may be well within reach.
When preparing to buy a home, work through credit pre-approval to be ready with a strong offer when the opportunity arises. A mortgage originator can provide a variety of lending options to optimize your investment, from 15- and 30-year mortgages to fixed and variable terms.
