How to Determine Cost on Equity Loans
Lenders will often base the loans on the borrower's base salary
from his employment and other incomes. The lenders will
calculate at times "100% of guaranteed bonuses or 50% of regular
bonuses divided by overtime."
Lenders will also factor in deductions from multiple incomes,
and apply it to the salary from the annual repayments "to any
existing loans." However, if the homeowner has repaid the loan
amount within the next year, the lender often overlooks the
gesture.
Most lenders will offer high "multiples" and loans, reaching
four times the base income. Few lenders will offer as much as
five times the base income, depending on the borrower's job.
Despite the offers, homebuyers should consider their income
carefully to determine if they can repay the debts. Homebuyers
would be wise to consider an increase in equity loans, since the
rates of interest constantly change over the course of a year.
By law, the lenders must adhere to the rates of interest set by
the federal government.
If you take out an equity loan, you must remember that the loan
is intended to payoff your first mortgage and then start
repayment on the pending loan. Lenders require borrowers in most
instances to pay "5 to 10%" upfront deposits, as a source of
guarantee. The larger amount of deposit will decrease your
interest rates and mortgage payments in most instances.
On the other hand, if you do not have money for a deposit, you
may want to consider the 100% equity loans, since these loans
will incorporate the deposit and additional fees and cost into
the monthly installments. The downside is that the interest is
higher, and often so are the mortgage repayments. If you are a
risk factor, then the lender may require you to sign a
"guarantor to satisfy the lenders concerns."
