How to Buy a House: The Loan (Mortgage) (We'll talk more about how to get a loan in a minute.) The bank loaning the money is the lender. The amount you pay to the bank each month is your mortgage payment. The rate of interest on the loan is the mortgage rate (or the interest rate). If you don't make your mortgage payments then the bank will repossess the house. Can You Buy A House With Cash And Then Get A Mortgage? That's why some buyers are turning to a unique solution to better compete when multiple offers are on the table: paying with cash now, then getting a mortgage later. Sound complicated? It is. Here's how it works and what you should consider. 1. Why cash is still king in competitive real estate markets Here’s the strategy: Buyers liquidate their assets, amass enough cash to purchase the home outright, and then put in an offer as an all-cash buyer. For sellers, all-cash offers are more attractive than ones from buyers who need to finance the purchase. Cash deals mean fewer contingencies — mainly, the sale of the home is contingent upon the buyer getting the mortgage, and there’s no guarantee that will happen. For instance, the sale could fall through if something goes wrong during the underwriting process. The sale is also contingent upon a home inspection and appraisal if the buyer finances the purchase, and again, a number of issues could come up that may make your lender (and you) pause. Plus, all-cash deals tend to close more quickly and with fewer overall complications than a sale that depends on financing.   2. A new buying strategy: cash first, mortgage later Buyers are using the cash first, mortgage later strategy to circumvent these contingencies. They still finance their home with a mortgage, but they delay that process until after the sale is final. “With prior proper planning, a buyer could conceivably offer a 24-hour closing,” says Dennis Crowley, principal of Vitruvius Capital Consultants. Before opening his own firm, Crowley served as a private banker and helped buyers use this strategy to purchase homes. There are downsides, however, to this tactic. “You’re using marketable securities as collateral,” Crowley warns. “This means that the buyer and lender have agreed that the collateral is worth a certain amount, and that amount can change without notice.”   3. What to consider before liquidating your assets This buying strategy isn’t right for everyone. “Use the same wisdom you’d apply to any other purchase,” Crowley advises. “Make decisions with facts and not emotions and understand your options thoroughly.” Instead of liquidating your assets and putting a lot of pressure on yourself to purchase a home, consider a new timeline for your homeownership goal — perhaps set a goal to buy in five years instead. By then, you’ll have saved up more cash and may not need to liquidate existing investments. Second, the real estate market could change during that time — making these extreme measures unnecessary. But if you do your research and determine cash first, mortgage later is something you want to do, you need to know how it actually works. After all, not many buyers are trying the strategy, simply because they don’t know it’s an option.   4. How to buy with cash first and get your mortgage later Some buyers take money out of their retirement savings. Others liquidate other investment accounts and various assets like other property or use cash savings. Buyers also turn to (generous) relatives to help gather the amount needed to cover the purchase price. Once you have enough cash, you purchase the home (woohoo!). Then you get a mortgage, using that loan amount to refill the accounts you depleted and pay back anyone who helped you gather the cash you needed to buy. Of course, you need to be careful when dipping into retirement savings, like 401(k) and IRA accounts — it’s not always a wise move. You’ll be penalized for withdrawing funds before retirement age, so include those fees in the total cost of your mortgage if you want to fully pay back those accounts. And an important note: Crowley points out that trying to use your existing assets this way is not for people who want to borrow money they don’t have. The cash first, mortgage later option is intended for people who want to employ capital that they already have in the most efficient way, he says.   5. More factors to consider Remember to evaluate your situation (and your assets) to determine whether buying this way is even an option. “A buyer with roughly 150% of their proposed purchase price in marketable securities brings these options into play,” Crowley says. “Failing that, a buyer who has at least 200% of a required down payment might consider these.” An understanding of marketable securities is a prerequisite for this buying strategy. Crowley recommends finding the right lender too. Most mass-market lenders won’t be able to support the level of complexity required to help with the process from start to finish. “Most major brokerage firms offer these options. Some smaller firms do as well,” Crowley says. “Even some independent financial planners have access to such channels.” The bottom line? Liquidating your assets to purchase a home with cash and delaying financing by taking out a mortgage after you buy is an interesting strategy — but not one that’s right for everyone. It can help keep your offer competitive when you’re trying to purchase a home, but you shouldn’t just liquidate all your assets to become a cash buyer. Use money you already have as leverage, and don’t try this strategy simply because you don’t currently have enough cash to put money down on a home or to buy a home outright.   Have you been a cash buyer for a house, then taken out a mortgage? Tell us about your experience in the comments! How to Buy a House The Basics of Buying a House. The Loan (aka, "The Mortgage") Basics The loan you get from the bank is called a mortgage, also called a note.  (We'll talk more about how to get a loan in a minute.) The bank loaning the money is the lender.  The amount you pay to the bank each month is your mortgage payment.  The rate of interest on the loan is the mortgage rate (or the interest rate). If you don't make your mortgage payments then the bank will repossess the house.  (This is called foreclosure.)  Then they'll sell it to make sure that they can recoup the money they loaned to you, and that you didn't pay back. The number of years it takes to pay back the loan is called the term, which in the U.S. is either 15 or 30 years.  There are pros and cons of each:   15-year mortgage 30-year mortgage • Saves a bundle on interest • Pay off the loan in half the time • Easier to qualify for • Lower monthly payments • Allows you to buy a higher-priced home • Keeps your cash liquid   How do you choose between the two?  If you want the most flexibility then take the 30-year loan.  You can still save on interest and pay your loan off early by paying the bank a little extra each month (or whenever you can afford it).  The difference is that with a 30-year loan you get to dictate how much extra you want to pay, and therefore how much you want to save.  With a 15-year loan you have to make bigger payments every month whether you like it or not. On the other hand, if you can definitely afford the payments on a 15-year loan, and you don't trust yourself to make extra principal payments on a 30-year loan, then take the 15-year loan and enjoy the fact that you'll save a bundle of interest and pay off the loan in half the time, without having to do anything special.   Paying back a mortgage You pay back your loan by making a payment every month.  At closing you'll usually have the opportunity to sign a form which lets the bank draft the payment automatically from your bank account each month, which is very convenient.  If you decline to do the auto-draft, then it's your responsibility to make your payment each month on your own initiative.  The bank won't send you a monthly bill. Part of your payment goes towards the principal (the amount the bank loaned you), and part of it is interest (the bank's profit from lending you money).  So when the bank loans you $100,000 you pay them back that $100,000 and then some.  If you only had to pay back the same $100,000 they gave you then there wouldn't be anything in it for them.  That's why they charge interest. Even though part of your monthly payment is for principal and part is for interest, you make only one payment to the bank each month, and that payment amount stays the same for the life of the loan.  You don't have to know how much of your payment is for principal and how much is for interest, and you generally don't need to know.  At the end of the year the bank will send you a statement for your taxes (since you'll get to deduct the interest you paid if you itemize), and the statement will tell you how much interest you paid over the year.   Mortgage interest Interest is the fee you pay for the privilege of borrowing money.  It's how the bank makes a profit by giving you a loan.  Naturally, the lower the interest rate, the better for you, because you'll pay less total interest.  And since the interest is part of your monthly payment, a lower interest rate means a lower monthly payment, too.  Finally, a lower interest rate means you can afford a more expensive house.  (Let's say you've got $1500/mo. to pay towards a home.  When less of that $1500 goes to interest, more of it can go towards paying off the cost of the home, which means you can afford a pricier house.)  So when you get to the point where you're shopping for a loan, you'll try to get the lowest rate possible.  Incidentally, in June 2012, U.S. mortgage rates dropped to a record low of 3.66%, the lowest rate since 30-year mortgages started in the 1950s. (MSNBC)  HSH has a list of historical mortgage rates since 1986. Maybe you remember percentages from high school, so you figure that if you have a $100,000 loan at 6% you'll be paying the bank back $106,000?  Nice try, but that would work only if you paid back the loan after one year. The 6% rate is an annual rate, so you're going to pay that 6% every year.  (You won't pay quite as much as $6000 x 30 though, because you pay interest only on the outstanding balance, not the original loan amount, and as time goes by your balance gets lower.) The actual amount of interest you pay each month is the current outstanding balance, times the interest rate, divided by 12. (e.g., For $150,000 left on a loan at 6%, means you'd pay $150,000 x 6% ÷ 12 = $750 in interest for that month.)  If your eyes just glazed over then don't worry about it, it's not important to know the math now, I just provide the details for those who want to understand everything completely. Here's all you need to know: Over the life of the loan, you'll be paying the bank a lot more than just the interest rate times the loan amount. When comparing loan offers from two different banks, just a single percentage point of difference means a big difference in how much interest is paid. For the first several years most of your payment goes to interest, not principal. On a 30-year, 7% mortgage, in year #15 over 75% of your monthly payment goes to interest and not equity. After 15 years you won't own half your house, you'll own only 27% of it. Here are some pretty pictures to demonstrate the first two points. We'll assume a $125,000 loan for 30 years at various interest rates. Total Interest Paid Over the Life of the Loan So even at a very low interest rate of 6%, you're paying $145,000 in interest on a $125,000 loan. So you borrow $125,000 and pay back $270,000 — more than double what you borrowed! It's even worse if you have a higher interest rate.  Note how going from a 6% to 10% interest rate means you pay an extra $125,000 over the life of the loan.  So the total you'd pay on a $125,000 loan at 10% would be $125,000 principal + $269,907 interest = $394,907!  Quite a lot to pay back for a $125,000 loan, huh? Average Yearly Interest ($125,000 loan, 30 years) Here again, going from 6% to 10% interest means you pay an extra $4000 on average in interest each year! How the interest rate affects the monthly payment Types of loans For the most part, you don't have to concern yourself with the difference between the three main kinds of loans (Conventional, FHA, and VA loan).  It's your lender's job to try to pick the best loan for your needs and qualifications, not yours. But since you'll hear these terms bandied about frequently, you might want to know what they mean, so here ya go. Conventional. This is a fancy word for "normal".  A conventional loan is just a regular, normal loan.  If your credit is good and you can swing at least a 5% down payment, then it's better than an FHA loan, since the fees are a lot lower, and there's less red tape. FHA. The U.S. government offers the FHA loan program to make home-buying easier.  These loans are generally easier to qualify for, and can be had for down payments as low as 3.5% (vs. 5% for conventional loans).  The loans aren't actually made by the government, they're still made by the banks; the feds just guarantee part of the loan if you default, which means that they pay the bank if you fail to make your payments.  Don't get excited about the government making your payments for you, though — if you fail to make your mortgage payments the bank will still take the house back from you.  The feds pays the bank after the bank has already repossessed your house.  Note that not all sellers will agree to an FHA loan, because there's a little more red tape involved.      Also, one flavor of FHA loans is the FHA 203k, which will let you borrow any money needed for additional repairs or modernization.  For example, if you're buying a $170k home, and it needs $30k of repairs, you could borrow $200k through an FHA 203k.  In fact, the FHA 203k is usually the only way you can borrow a lot of money for initial repairs.  The downside is that the interest rate on such loans is about one percentage point higher. VA.  VA loans are an option for veterans, and it's possible to put 0% down on one.  Just like with FHA loans, the VA itself doesn't lend money, it just guarantees part of the loan so lenders feel comfortable lending the money.  VA-guaranteed loans can be combined with second mortgages (which is when the bank makes the main loan covering most of the price of the house, and the seller makes a separate loan to the buyer for the rest of the price.)  VA loans can be assumed by any future qualified buyer, so your hands aren't tied if you need to sell — you can sell to anybody, not just another veteran. 二胎房貸是什麼？ 完整解析申請條件、流程及常見問題 鉅軒代書金主：台南房屋二胎,高雄農地借錢-台南二胎貸款滿足您資金需求,高雄二胎貸款免費試算額度利率,屏東二胎貸款房貸利息抵稅,高雄二胎貸款安心託付免煩惱！高雄二胎貸款專辦房貸,台南二胎貸款,屏東二胎貸款負債整合,高雄二胎貸款高額低利貸款,屏東二胎貸款您資金周轉缺口不必再擔心,台南二胎貸款一通電話將您的問題交給金主專業代書！2胎,二胎,土地二胎,二胎代償,民間二胎,持分二胎,土地借錢,房屋貸款,二胎房貸,土地融資,銀行房貸利率,民間房貸,代償融資,軍公教房貸,房子二胎,銀行代辦,土地借錢,房貸轉貸,土地持分借款,公寓平房,銀行二胎,民間代償,房貸全額貸,農地持分借款,我要借錢門路,不動產抵押,房貸問題,三胎代償,都市計劃地,工業用地,農會房貸利息,魚塭養地借款,代償高利貸,銀行房貸比較,我要辦房貸,漁塭綠地,民宿貸款,農地借錢,銀行房貸二胎,建地借款,辦公大樓,房貸增貸,田地借款,林地融資,房屋借款,代償當舖,工商週轉,企業金融借款,私人借貸,工業住商貸款,房屋實價登錄,房價指數,租金繳房貸,房貸二胎,代書借錢,國宅貸款,農舍貸款。How to basic,How to mortgage,How to bank loan,How to lend money,How to Get a Loan,How to borrow money,融資借貸,快速借錢平台,小額貸款,小額週轉,小額借錢,資金周轉,資金貸款,借錢方式,買車換現金,民間信貸,個人信貸,融資貸款,民間貸款,銀行貸款,公司貸款,企業貸款,刷卡換現金,中小企業貸款,大額貸款,鉅額貸款,整合負債,資金貸款,資金借款,小額借款,公司周轉,金錢困難,合法貸款,借錢門路,軍公教貸款,婦女貸款,如何借錢,如何貸款,借錢注意,合法借錢,安全借錢,借錢周轉,馬上領現金,如何借錢不還,當日拿現金,當日拿錢,馬上拿錢,缺錢,借錢週轉,急用錢,急用金,家庭補助金,上學補助金,勞工補助金,沒錢,當舖借款.本利攤還,利率低,利息低,機車一二胎,汽車一二胎,房屋貸款,土地貸款,房地貸款,房屋一二胎,土地一二胎,土地一二胎,房屋借錢,土地借錢,房屋借款,土地借款,房地借款,合法借錢,合法借款,資金需求,現金需求,現金週轉,企業資金,1111找工作,需要錢,現拿現金,現金免求人,104人力銀行,信用卡換現,刷卡換現,8591交易,小額現金週轉,免卡貸款,賣手機,中小企業貸款,機車換錢,165反詐騙,非詐騙,防詐騙,信用卡貸款,沒有錢,繳不起,額度高,信用狀況,信用不好,法扣,協商,授權異常,強停,急借錢,當日撥款,當日拿錢,老客戶續約,勞保貸款,薪轉貸款,薪資轉帳,找金主或找借錢客戶,借錢,救急,借款,借貸,融資,房地二胎貸款,貸款借錢網站,借錢管道,2胎,二胎,二胎代書,二胎利率,二胎房貸,二胎房貸利率,二胎貸款,企業融資,企業貸款,土地,農地借錢,土地貸款,房屋貸款率利,房屋貸款額,房貸利率,房貸額度,個人土地貸款,個人房貸,信用,信用卡,信用貸款,信用貸款率利,信用貸款額,信貸利率,信貸額度,銀行信用貸款,銀行信貸,債務,創業融資,創業貸款,增貸,小額信貸,建地,建地貸款,房屋二胎,房屋二胎利率,房屋二胎銀行,房屋貸款,房屋貸款率利最低銀行,房貸二胎,房貸利率,房貸增貸,授信銀行,支票貼現,民間二胎,汽車借款,汽車貸款,汽車貸款率利多少,貸款,車貸,車貸利息,車貸利率,車貸試算。找金主或找借錢客戶,當舖借錢,救急現金,銀行借款,小額借貸,當舖融資,房地二胎貸款,貸款借錢不還,金主借錢管道,借錢網,How to Home Mortgage,How to Car Loan,How to Auto Loan,How to Unsecured Loan,How to Personal Loan,How to Business Loan,How to Commercial Loan,How to Equity Loan,How to Real Estate Loan,How to Land Loan,台北房屋二胎,新北農地借錢-台北二胎貸款滿足您資金需求,桃園二胎貸款免費試算額度利率,台中二胎貸款房貸利息抵稅,桃園二胎貸款安心託付免煩惱！桃園二胎貸款專辦房貸,台北二胎貸款,台中二胎貸款負債整合,桃園二胎貸款高額低利貸款,台中二胎貸款您資金周轉缺口不必再擔心,台北二胎貸款一通電話將您的問題交給金主專業代書。pinjaman online房貸產品,我想購屋,我想短期周轉,我想資金週轉,我想轉貸省息,我想以房養老,銀行財富管理客戶獨享優惠,房貸試算,房貸知識+,連接貸款借錢客服 提供金主直營,土地貸款,土地融資,代償當舖,銀行代辦,土地借錢,建地貸款,農牧用地,土地持分,銀行二胎,農地持分,不動產抵押,都市計劃地,工業用地,魚塭借錢,養地借款,代償高利貸,公園綠地,農地借錢,田地借款,林地融資,地價指數,2胎房貸,二胎增貸,土地二胎,不動產代書,二胎代償,民間二胎。銀行等全方位的銀行貸款資訊一次搞定貸款麻煩事！ 1. 在申辦貸款時，別聽信低利誘惑，衝動向非法單位辦理，一定要尋求專業合法的單位辦理，以免掉進不肖的黑心業者的圈套。 2. 提醒您在簽訂契約時應詳細了解內容再簽立，勿隨意簽下空白契約和本票，以免造成終身遺憾。 3. 本所為政府立案代書，擁有頂尖的代書團隊及專業的律師顧問，提供您安全的借貸平台，唯有合法的代書才能給您合法的利率。 4. 本所以誠信保密為服務宗旨，針對客戶的相關資料及文件會妥善管理，辦理全程絕對保密，讓您安心放心週轉。
