What are mortgage interest rates based on and how do I estimate what my ARM rate will be when it adjusts?

Monday 28 February 2011 @ 2:13 am
Been there, done that asked:


My 5-1 ARM adjusted last year and went to 6.25%. It will adjust again this November. Are mortgage rates based on the feds fund rate? Or something else? How can I estimate what my new rate will be?

How long after a bankruptcy that a mortgage was included in can you apply for another mortgage?

Sunday 27 February 2011 @ 2:46 pm
Stacey asked:


I was told by an attorney that foreclosure and bankruptcy on a mortgage is 2 different things. I know that you can not apply for another mortgage for 5 years after a foreclosure and that after a bankruptcy you can apply in 18 – 24 months but does it make a difference if there was a mortgage involved in that bankruptcy. My mortgage was never reaffirmed after my bankruptcy neither.

gta129 asked:


My friend is planning to buy a house in Ontario. He’s pretty young, in his 20s and he might buy another house when he starts a family. He asked me if its a bad idea to get CMHC mortgage insurance when buying a house? Does it put a black mark on his credit record and effects him when buying another house later on? Also I heard, starting October everyone in Canada has to put a 20% when buying a house. Is this true?

Why would someone pick an adjustable rate mortgage over a fixed rate one?

Kiwi asked:


I just read that foreclosures are up 78% in my state, and a lot of them were because people could not afford to pay on their skyrocketing adjustable rate mortgage. I have never bought a home before, but I would like to know why anyone would choose such a mortgage. Are fixed rate mortgages so much harder to obtain?

Better to make extra principal payments or extra mortgage payments?

Saturday 19 February 2011 @ 9:44 pm
girlwhoknowsitstrue asked:


I am planning on paying down my mortgage early. Am I better off making an extra $500 principal payment or making an additional regular payment every other month? It seems that I pay more interest when I make extra payments, which helps on the taxes – but wondered what it would look like after a few years.
