Here
are Important Questions to Ask About YOUR Mortgage
Q.
Will my mortgage balance ever go up?
A.
There are loan products, called negative amortization loans that allow you to
make a low minimum payment that result in the mortgage balance increasing. When
shopping for a mortgage, be aware that the low-payment feature on a negative
amortization mortgage increases your balance, even if you make minimum
payments. (Not offered by AmeriFirst Financial Inc.)
Q.
Does my interest rate go up over time, and if so how often?
A.
If you decide to get an adjustable-rate mortgage (AMR) your rate may start out
low, and then adjust over pre- determined periods. Get a copy of your
adjustment schedule, the index, and the margin on which the rate of adjustment
will be based.
Q.
Does my monthly payment go up over time, and if so how often?
A.
Even on mortgages with principal and interest payments that don’t increase,
your payments for property taxes and homeowners insurance may increase. Also,
payment increases can occur on certain types of mortgages other than an
adjustment to your rate. Find out if the mortgage you are looking at will have
payment increases because if you can’t afford an increase, you should consider
an alternate loan program to avoid losing your home.
Q.
Could a scheduled payment be higher than the regular monthly payment?
A.
Balloon mortgages, which are not very common, are mortgages with a final
payment that exceeds the normal monthly payment, usually significantly.
Q.
Will my scheduled monthly payment only cover interest at any point over the
mortgage term?
A.
Some mortgages allow you to make monthly payments that cover only the interest
accrued during the month for a pre- determined amount of time. Payments will be
lower than payments that include principal, but they do not reduce your
mortgage balance, and the payment could substantially increase after the
interest only period ends.
Q.
If I pay off my mortgage ahead of schedule is there a penalty fee?
A.
Most mortgages do not have pre-payment penalty fees. As you shop for a
mortgage, be sure to find out if the mortgage you select will have a prepayment
fee. If it does, find out how it will be calculated, and when you will have to
pay it.
Q.
If I make a late payment will there be a penalty fee?
A.
If you do not make a payment on time you will be charged a late fee. Find out
if your lender will give you a “grace period,” during which you can pay late
without incurring a penalty fee.
