Mortgage Insurance Alternatives.
There are smart alternatives to regular mortgage insurance. By folding the cost of
mortgage insurance into the loan, borrowers may realize a tax deduction,** plus a
lower net monthly home payment that can help make first time home ownership more
affordable. Home mortgage insurance alternatives are available in several versions,
depending on a home borrower's financial circumstances:
Monthly Tax Advantage MI features an add-on to the home loan's interest rate to
cover the cost of MI, resulting in a potentially greater tax deduction than with the
traditional mortgage insurance you would pay on your home loan.
One-Time Tax Advantage MI features a 3-point increase in the home loan amount,
which is financed over the life of the home loan and typically results in a lower home
monthly payment than with traditional mortgage insurance.
**Borrowers should consult their tax advisor regarding the deductibility of mortgage
interest. Please contact your local branch for any restrictions on home Mortgage
Insurance and eligible home loan types in your state.
SUBPRIME HOME MORTGAGE LOAN PRODUCTS
Flexible guidelines, aggressive pricing and exceptional service is available to home
borrowers with a wide range of financing solutions. When you use an automated
underwriting system, you can get an underwriting outcome for your subprime loan in
minutes. Home mortgage loan products usually include 15 and 30 year fixed and
adjustable rate mortgage products, fixed period ARMs, reduced pricing options, even
a rate-reduction loan for home owners who pay their mortgage loan on time every
month. A through D credit grades fit even the most demanding home borrowers.
EXPANDED HOME MORTGAGE LOAN APPROVAL
This is a series of niche mortgage products intended for borrowers with just slightly
impaired credit. These are borrowers who fall just below A-paper loan criteria, but who
don't really belong in a traditional subprime home mortgage loan product. With
Expanded Loan Approval (ELA) mortgage loans, borrowers can get better terms and
pricing than they would get with subprime home loans, with LTVs (loan to value) as
high as 95%. ELA mortgage loans are available for purchase money, rate-and-term
refi's (refinance), even cashout refi's. Allowed property types include second homes,
owner-occupied one and two-unit residences, manufactured home, and approved
condos. There's even a home mortgage loan program that allows borrowers to lower
their interest rate after two years based on timely monthly payments.
