This mortgage calculator can be used to figure out monthly payments of a home mortgage loan, based on the home's sale price, the term of the loan desired, buyer's down payment percentage, and the loan's interest rate. This calculator factors in PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) for loans where less than 20% is put as a down payment. Also taken into consideration are the town property taxes, and their effect on the total monthly mortgage payment.
Something that is very important for you to take into
consideration when purchasing or refinancing your home is the
closing costs.
I would love to tell you that closing costs are not expensive,
but believe me they are. Once you add up all the fees' involved,
such as points, taxes, title insurance, county costs and various
other fee's, it really begins to add up.
The first thing you need to understand is that nobody works for
free, so be prepared to pay at closing.
The total amount of fees' depends on quite a few things. For
instance, the percentage of loan origination fees' (points) the
lender is going to be charging you. Another large fee is the
title search and insurance. The title fee varies by state and is
determined by the amount of the home.
Closing costs on average should not exceed 5% of the total
amount of the purchase price, and this does not include the down
payment.
The total amount of these fees' does not all go to the lender.
Generally only the loan origination fee and the application fee
go to the lender.
The rest of the fee's such as the appraisal, credit report,
interest for the period in between closing and your first
monthly payment, home owner's insurance, title insurance, pro
rated property tax, etc., go to their appropriate institutions.
Before you go to closing, the lender is required by law to send
you a Good Faith Estimate (GFE).The GFE discloses an accurate
estimate of all the fee's you will be responsible for at closing.
Make sure you go over the GFE with a fine tooth comb, and if
there are any fees' you don't understand, call your lender or
broker and ask for an explanation.
As I stated earlier, you must be prepared to pay closing costs.
Closing costs are not cheap, but you should not pay a penny more
than what is required.
If your closing costs are somewhere between two and 5% of the
amount of the mortgage, you should be in good shape.
If they are drastically higher, consider finding another lender.
Remember, do your homework. Put yourself in a position to
understand all the jargon that fills up all the paperwork you
will be signing.
Also, take your time and shop around, always look for the best
rate at the lowest possible price.
