How to lock in a great mortgage rate

BY DALE ROBYN SIEGEL  BANKRATE.COM

Mortgage rates fluctuate daily, making it hard to pinpoint the perfect moment to lock. To simplify the mortgage rate-lock decision, keep these things in mind: Mortgate rate lock: A guarantee that the lender will deliver a specific combination of interest rate and points if the mortgage closes by a specified date.

A point is a fee or rebate equal to 1 percent of the loan amount. Frequently, rate locks last for 30, 45 or 60 days, but they can be shorter or longer. A rate lock protects the borrower from rate fluctuations during the lock period.

It’s all in the timing: When locking a mortgage rate, don’t concentrate on the media frenzy or cocktail conversations on whose rate is lower. Focus on the estimated closing date, and time your rate lock with that.

To begin, find out when your loan is expected to close and work backward to determine when to lock the rate. If you think you need 45 days to close your loan, find out what the interest rate would be if you locked it for a 60-day period.

The longer the lock period, the more the loan will cost you. Lenders do not know what the interest rates will be in the near future; they hedge the risk by offering higher rates or charging fees for longer lock periods.

Find the optimum combo: Look for the sweet spot when pricing out a rate lock. The sweet spot is the combination of interest rate, term and cost you need to achieve that optimum deal. Most lenders won’t lock you for less than 30 days unless you’re ready to close and often offer the same rate for a 15- and 45-day period. Ask about the rate for several lock periods: 15, 21, 30, 45 or 60 days. Anything longer than 60 days gets pricey, so it might be smarter to wait until you get nearer to the closing and check again.

Watch, then act: If you feel that you have to keep your finger on the pulse of the market, Terry Connelly, an economic expert and dean emeritus at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, advises you to monitor one

factor: “Watch the 10-year bond prices.

As they move up, interest rates move down.”

The key is to get your rate on a down day and lock for a term long enough to close the loan.

How it works: Grab it while you can.

Here’s an example: Brian Rubin was visiting Hershey Park with his family when he received an email from me, his mortgage loan officer. The Rubins were buying a four-bedroom, 2,200-squarefoot home in Westchester County, N.Y., and the rates had just dropped. Rubin could lock in at 4.375 percent for 45 days and needed to give the OK. He did via email while strolling with his family. “I was happy with the rate and could now concentrate on other things that were keeping me up like packing, moving and school starting,” he says.

If you cannot close by the end of the lock period, most lenders will extend the rate or allow you to relock, but be sure to know how your lender treats it.

Learn the process and the costs.

Compare a lineup of interest rates: Inquire about a lineup of mortgage rates instead of zeroing in on just one.

Lenders refer to the array of interest rates as buckets, and often there is disparity among rates depending on a bank’s investors.

“Think of the lender buying buckets of money at a certain interest rate and then reselling the money to the consumer,” says Lou Maldonado, an account executive at Plaza Home Mortgage’s New York office. Lenders are able to obtain better pricing on certain rates and should pass it on to the consumer. Ask about a series of interest rates; what will it cost to get a 3.9, 4, 4.25 or 4.375 percent rate locked in for the same period?

Factor different levels of points: Paying discount points (one point equals 1 percent of the loan amount) might be worth it if you can get a lower rate.

Divide the monthly savings into the cost to find how many months you need to recoup the expense. Compare the

interest rates quoted at different prices, and you might be surprised that higher discount points, combined with a lower rate, could cost less overall.

Be decisive: Pick a rate that you can be happy with, and when it hits, lock the rate. The key is to be happy with the rate you were able to get and not look back.

Jennifer Lerner from Wilmington, Del. a second-time homebuyer, was waiting to lock one day. At the time, the rate was 4.25 percent, but her lender thought it could drop a little lower.

Is it really worth waiting for the possible drop? Jennifer waited a few days and then locked at a slightly higher rate: “We locked in at 4.375 and we are not looking back!” she says.  Dale Robyn Siegel is president of Circle Mortgage Group in Harrison, N.Y.

THE MORTGAGE PROFESSOR:

A look at the options for mortgage prices and closing costs

BY JACK GUTTENTAG  THE MORTGAGE PROFESSOR

Senior homeowners looking to shop the HECM reverse mortgage market for the best price, meaning the lowest interest rate and origination fee, have a major problem. Unlike the standard mortgage market, where price data are available from many sources, including third party multi-lender sites, in the reverse mortgage market prices are hard to find.

Only a few individual lenders have websites containing complete and upto-date reverse mortgage prices. One of the best of the few that do is All Reverse Mortgage Company.

There is one multi-lender site that allows users to compare the prices of different lenders: www.mtgprofessor. com, which is mine. The reverse mortgage calculator on my site identifies the best prices posted by All Reverse, Proficio Mortgage and Barrons Mortgage Group; several more lenders will soon be joining. Note that I have no financial interest in any of these firms, and do not charge borrowers or lenders.

There is one other source of reverse mortgage price data, however, that

seniors may be unfortunate enough to encounter. These prices are embedded in the Web-based calculator provided by NRMLA, which is the trade association of reverse mortgage lenders, at www. reversemortgages.org. The prices are described as “estimates”, but the method of estimation is not explained and no individual lenders are identified.

The prices shown by the NRMLA calculator are consistently higher than the lowest prices shown on my calculator.

Indeed, the NRLMA prices are even higher than the highest price posted on my site.

The differences can be enormous.

Here is an example. On April 17, a senior of 75 with a $200,000 existing mortgage balance on a home worth $500,000 would have found the following prices on a HECM fixed-rate reverse mortgage. On the NRMLA site, the rate was 5.060% and the origination fee $6,000. On my site, the rate was 4.25% and the origination fee was minus $2,015 — the lender would pay a rebate that would be credited against the mortgage insurance premium or other settlement costs.

These large price differences are not due to any differences in investor risk, since all HECMs are insured against loss by the FHA . There is no prime versus sub-prime distinction here.

Neither are the price differences due to differences in price integrity — the degree of confidence a borrower can have that the market price changes that occur while the loan is in process won’t be used to justify a price increase on the day the price is locked. On the contrary, the price quotes on my site have complete integrity because the lenders are identified by name and the borrower can verify that the price at which the loan is finally locked is the same price the lender is quoting on an identical transaction on that day. The NRMLA quotes have zero integrity because there is no identifiable lender behind them.

The conclusion is inescapable that the prices in the NRMLA calculator are well above competitive levels by design.

The presumed purpose is to signal to members what the prices ought to be, and to convince borrowers that these prices are legitimate and acceptable.

In my view, this high-price policy is shortsighted and part of the reason the HECM market is so small relative to its potential. A good illustration is how the high-price policy retards the growth of no-closing cost/low-closing cost reverse mortgage options.

For a long time the reverse mortgage industry has been bedeviled by claims that origination costs were too high. Yet some lenders, including those on my site, make no-closing cost and low-closing cost reverse mortgage loans as a matter of course, and with some frequency.

Reverse mortgage originators make a profit on sale of the mortgage, the size of which depends on the size of the initial loan amount. If that profit is sufficiently large, a competitive lender will provide a negative origination fee or rebate that covers the upfront mortgage insurance premium and all other settlement costs: the result is a no-closing cost reverse mortgage.

If the profit on sale isn’t large enough to cover all the costs, it may be large enough to justify a rebate that will cover

some of the costs. This would result in a “low-closing cost reverse mortgage.”

Currently, more than half of all the transactions done by All Reverse qualify for no-closing cost or low-closing cost treatment.

But don’t look for either on the NRLMA site. The NRMLA calculator assumes that lenders always charge the highest origination fee allowed by law, which means that no-closing cost and lowclosing cost reverse mortgages are not available from lenders who follow NRMLA pricing.

The good news is that such loans are available from lenders who don’t follow NRMLA pricing. This includes the lenders that post prices on my site, but there are others as well. If you are attracted by a solicitation or an advertisement, you can check their price against those posted by the lenders on my site.  Jack Guttentag is professor emeritus of finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

3 reasons why failing is good

You must not let successes get to your head but also must not let failure consume your heart. Know that, sometimes, actually most times, things don’t go as planned and that is perfectly fine.

For many young people, it’s easy to simply give up when things don’t work out. But if there is one thing you shouldn’t do it is just that: Do not give up … because the reality is you’re going to fail … a lot.

But failure doesn’t mean your idea wasn’t valid or that your dream isn’t good enough. Failure simply means there is something to be learned or another direction to be taken.

Here’s why failure is good: 1. Failure is a redirection. It shows you where you shouldn’t be.

2. Failure is an opportunity. It’s a chance to reevaluate and come back stronger with better reasoning 3. Failure is not fatal. No matter how

hard it may be know that failure simply means you get another shot to try it all again.

However, this time around it’ll be a lot easier to attain what you were aiming for. Having failed abundantly, there is one thing I’ve learned: Failure only makes your next shot quicker, easier and surer.

Take these failures you will face with grace because you’ll learn more in a single failure than in a lifetime of

success. There are lessons in all our faults that are attempting to take us to our ultimate vision. Get the idea going and trust the process.

It won’t be perfect but getting it out slowly will help begin the cultivation process. Start by writing your thoughts and ideas. Talk them out with friends and do one thing a day that will help your overall vision. It won’t be perfect, but if you’re persistent, the easier it will be to deal with failures along the way.

Each failure is simply feedback of how to perfect your craft. Know that nothing works unless you do and know that what you envisioned will not happen exactly how you thought it would, but that is what makes the distance between where we are and where we want to go so exciting.

This fearful, grey, undefined space makes life the crazy beautiful awesome journey it is.

So fail and fail often. 
