Knowing Your Mortgage

Before filling out an application, it is important to know exactly what you are getting into.

Ask your mortgage expert as many questions as possible. Here is a good place to start:

  • How much property tax and insurance does the reserve account require?
  • Is private mortgage insurance required? If so, what is the fee and at what point can it be dropped altogether?
  • What is the anniversary, margin and index for payment adjustments and options?
  • When can an adjustable rate mortgage be converted to a fixed rate mortgage?
  • What charges and extra appraisals are involved?
  • At what point do you pay the property taxes to ensure the year's income tax deduction?
  • Is this loan going into your portfolio or will it be sold on the secondary market?
  • When are the payments due? When are the late fees levied and what is their amount?
