Equity is the difference between the amount a home would sell for and the balance still owed on
the mortgage. This important difference represents the homeowner's financial interest or equity in the home. A homeowner
can therefore borrow against the equity in their home and use it for virtually any purpose, such as debt consolidation or
home improvements. Because this is a mortgage based loan, the interest paid on this loan can be tax deductible
(consult your tax specialist).
An adjustable (or variable) rate mortgage has an interest rate that adjusts periodically on the
basis of changes to a specified index. Typically adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) start out at somewhat lower rates than
do fixed rate mortgages. They, however, fluctuate up - raising the monthly payment, or down - lowering the monthly payment,
depending on the movement of the index to which it is tied to. A fixed rate loan, on the other hand, has an interest rate
that remains the same throughout the entire loan term. Your experienced LoanAction.com loan consultant can discuss the
advantages of both types of mortgages to help you decide.
These three letters stand for Annual Percentage Rate...which is the total cost, on a yearly
basis, in interest as a percentage of the loan amount. This figure includes such items as the base interest rate and
any loan origination fees. A LoanAction.com loan consultant would be glad to answer any questions about Annual Percentage
Rates and how they are calculated.
