Navigating the Maze

Home loans can be very confusing, considering how many different kinds there are. Are you looking to buy a home? That means, getting a whole new loan. That is similar to getting the home loan in the first place. Or, perhaps you’d like to leave the original loan in place, but add a second mortgage in the form of a home equity loan or home equity line of credit.

Let’s start with purchasing a home. Many loan products are available that don’t even require a down payment, and some banks collaborate with government agencies to provide first time home buyer assistance with down payments and a reasonable payment plan for those who qualify.

The next best type of loan program is for second homes. Second homes are also known as vacation homes. These mortgage loans will have slightly less attractive rates than owner-occupant loans, but still better than investment property loans.

Mortgage loans for homes bought for investment purposes are the most difficult to get, and typically carry the least attractive terms. If you have a loan in place already and are looking to refinance, there are two basic types of home mortgage refinancing [http://lasertargeted.com/mortgage/home-mortgage-refinancing-contract.html]. A rate-term refinance loan amount is just enough to repay the balance of the existing mortgage, although there will be some closing costs rolled in (this will vary from loan to loan, ask your mortgage broker or lender for details).

If your intention is to pull cash out of the home, a cash-out refinance can do this if there is enough equity in the home to meet the lender’s LTV (loan-to-value) requirements. A home equity loan provides the cash all at once, and generally carries a fixed rate. HELOCS have adjusting rates.

Advantages Of Buying

Retention of ownership – most businesses will need to take out a loan in order to purchase property. Taxation – Businesses are permitted to make mortgage interest payments with pre-tax money that is deductible for tax purposes as expenses.

Cost and cash flow management – A commercial mortgage allows a business access to finance that would not usually be available. Mortgage repayments tend to work out lower than rental payments and the borrower in this case will know what the payments will be in advance – this fixed payment can often aid the business with cash flow and managing costs. Businesses that rent a premise can be exposed to market conditions which could result in payment fluctuations on review.

The business or individual will have an asset which can potentially grow in value, just like residential property – this could subsequently increase the value of the business.

Financial flexibility.  Taking out a loan by way of a mortgage to buy a business premises can free up money held in the business for other purposes.

Disadvantages Of Buying

Financial difficulty – Like any other mortgage, the mortgage lender will hold a legal charge over the property. Relocation – In the event a business needs to relocate, it is relatively easy to terminate a rental agreement.

Flexibility – A business that rents has a far greater amount of flexibility that a business that is tied to a mortgage. Buying would only make sense if the business is confident over its future which encompasses two main factors – relocation & business expansion.
