FAQ
What should I do if I want to use a mortgage broker
If you are looking for a competitive rate, consider using a mortgage broker. A broker works with multiple lenders to negotiate your behalf. However, some brokers take a commission from the lenders. Before you sign up for a broker, make sure to check all fees.
How can I calculate my interest rate
Market conditions affect the rate of interest. The average interest rates for the last week were 4.39%. Divide the length of your loan by the interest rates to calculate your interest rate. For example, if you finance $200,000 over 20 years at 5% per year, your interest rate is 0.05 x 20 1%, which equals ten basis points.
What is a Reverse Mortgage?
Reverse mortgages are a way to borrow funds from your home, without having any equity. You can draw money from your home equity, while you live in the property. There are two types to choose from: government-insured or conventional. A conventional reverse mortgage requires that you repay the entire amount borrowed, plus an origination fee. FHA insurance will cover the repayment.
How much does it take to replace windows?
Replacing windows costs between $1,500-$3,000 per window. The total cost of replacing all your windows is dependent on the type, size, and brand of windows that you choose.
