Imperfect Credit
Perfect credit not necessary to find a mortgage. Buying a home is still a possibility for those with bad credit and even bankruptcy. Finding the right mortgage for you should not be a painful experience. Unwarranted fears of rejection or of ridiculously high interest rates may be keeping you from buying the home of your dreams. However, the good news is that there are many loans available for people with less than perfect credit. Bad credit does not have to stand in the way of finding your mortgage.

Home Construction Loans
Home construction loans are usually based on both the potential value of the home and the borrowers income. In order to estimate the value of a home that has yet to be built an appraiser will be called in to evaluate the kind of house that is being built, the materials used to build, the expense of the materials, the expense of labor, the expense of the land, and other miscellaneous costs.

Rates
Your interest rate is perhaps the most important factor of your loan and can often decide whether or not you will be happy with your loan in the long run. Current interest rates are widely considered to be remarkably low and locking in a low interest rate can save you money.

Mortgage Calc
A mortgage calc can also show you the difference that the term of your loan makes on your repayment schedule. A $997 monthly payment on a $150,000 loan at 7% over the period of 30 years with $209,263 in total interest may sound acceptable, but using the calculator you can compare this monthly payment to what would be paid on a shorter term loan. The same loan with a 15 year term would have higher monthly payment of 1,348, which is $351 more. However, the 15 year term would cut the total interest in half to the amount of 92,683. In this case, cutting your loan term in half and paying $351 more a month could save you over $100,000.

Mortgage Refiancing
However, interest rates are not the only reason to refinance your mortgage. Many homeowners find themselves unhappy with the terms of their loans. A loan with a thirty year term may offer low payments, but those very low payments that seemed attractive can slow the process of building equity. Changing to a 15 year term will allow you to build equity far more quickly, and often the increase in monthly payments is far less than most people expect.

Refinancing Your Home

However, if your original loan has a high rate or an unappealing term, refinancing can be the perfect opportunity to save money and reduce monthly payments. If you are a homeowner who:

• Plans to remain at his or her home for the next three years
• Would like to change an adjustable rate mortgage or establish a lower rate cap
• Has not damaged your credit since your original loan
• Wants to take advantage of lower interest rates
• Needs money for home repairs or improvement
• Needs money for college tuition or other large purchases
