Q

How many GPM plans does FHA offer and how are they structured?

A

FHA has five plans available. Three of the five plans permit mortgage payments to increase at a rate of 2.5, 5, or 7.5 percent during the first 5 years of the loan. The other two plans permit payments to increase 2 and 3 percent annually over 10 years. Starting at the sixth year of the 5-year plans and the eleventh year of the 10-year plans, payments will stay the same for the remaining term of the mortgage.

Q

What is a biweekly loan and what’s the advantage?

A

With a biweekly loan, the borrower pays half of the monthly mortgage payment every 2 weeks, rather than the full payment once a month. This is comparable to 13 monthly payments a year, which can result in faster payoff and lower overall interest costs.

Q

What type of loan is very popular in the sale of new subdivision homes and furnished condominiums and why?

A

A package loan finances the purchase of a home along with the purchase of personal items. It is popular with both lenders and borrowers because they believe there is less risk of default. Borrowers can pay for the essential personal items over the extended period of the loan, rather than have to exhaust their reserves to purchase the items outright.

Q

Dan has a monthly income of $3000. What is the maximum Principle, Interest, Taxes and Insurance (PITI) payment that Dan can pay using the 0.28 front-end Debt To Income (DTI) ratio?

To get the maximum PITI, you multiple $3000 x 0.28 = $840/month. Dan can afford a maximum PITI of $840/month.

Q

Dan decides to buy a new car before he buys a house and incurs a $50/month debt. Can Dan still afford a $840/month mortgage payment?

A

First, we calculate Dan’s back-end DTI ratio, which is ($840+$50)/$3000 = 0.30. Since this ratio is less than the typical 0.36 back-end DTI, Dan can still afford the $840/month PITI payment.

Q

Dan has an annual salary of $65,000. If his mortgage payment (PITI) is $395/month and he has an additional debt of $609/month. Calculate Dan’s front and back end DTI ratios.

A

Dan’s front end ratio is 0.07 and his back end ratio is 0.19.

Explanation:

Step 1.

Total Monthly Debt = $395 + $609 = $1004

Monthly Income = $65,000 / 12 months = $5,417

Step 2.

Front End Ratio = PITI / Monthly Income

$395 / $5,417 = 0.07

Step 3.

Back End Ratio = Total Debt / Monthly Income

$1004 / $5,417 = 0.19
