This mortgage calculator can be used to figure out monthly payments of a home mortgage loan, based on the home's sale price, the term of the loan desired, buyer's down payment percentage, and the loan's interest rate. This calculator factors in PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) for loans where less than 20% is put as a down payment. Also taken into consideration are the town property taxes, and their effect on the total monthly mortgage payment.
When you go to the bank to get a mortgage, you'll inevitably be
asked to take out mortgage insurance. The idea behind mortgage
insurance is simply that if something happens to you or your
spouse then your loan will be paid off which is good news for
your family and the bank. Most financial institutions act like
they are doing you a favor by offering you mortgage insurance
through their own group plan, but are they?
The truth is that you could probably get a much better deal and
at least an equal amount of protection by shopping around for
your own insurance policy.
Essentially, mortgage insurance is no different than term-life
insurance. With both, your policy only lasts for a specified
period of time and pays its benefits if something happens to you
or your spouse. The real difference comes down to how much
control you'll have over your policy and how much you'll pay for
it.
If you choose to use the mortgage insurance offered by the bank,
you will not be able to customize a policy to fit your needs and
you'll be lumped together with other borrowers under a group
plan. Because of this, you will only have limited control over
your policy. For example, through a third party provider, you
would be able to choose your own beneficiary, decide how to
spend the proceeds if necessary, and cancel the policy at any
time. You would not have these options with a lending
institution.
Additionally, the bank maintains the right to not renew your
policy and to cancel the policy when you sell the house. If you
find your own insurance provider, you can make those decisions
yourself.
The other big difference is cost. A third party insurance
policy's premiums will not go up, so you would pay the same
premium today that you'd pay ten years from now. You won't get
that same guarantee from a bank which can and probably will
increase your premiums during the life of the policy. In most
cases, you'll probably pay more through a bank anyway. In fact,
you could pay as much as 40% more than you would if you shopped
around and found your own insurance provider. Not to mention
that the policy you take out through your bank will gradually
decrease in value while a plan you select from an outside source
will be worth the same amount during the entire policy period.
Of course, many people don't mind paying more for their mortgage
insurance because it's more convenient than dealing with
insurance agents. The truth is that you can easily find a policy
that fits your needs and provides affordable premiums via the
Internet. An organization, such as the Hughes Trustco Group, can
even generate quotes for you from multiple insurance providers
so you'll know that you're receiving the best deal possible on
the policy you want.
The bottom line is that mortgage insurance is important and
should be part of your home buying or refinancing preparations,
but that does not mean you need to pay more or let the bank make
important decisions for you. Instead, you should find your own
personal plan from a third party provider which will let you
stay in control of your policy and will save you money in the
long run.
