20
Q

A Mortgage

A

a borrowing arrangement where the
principal amount of the loan borrowed is typically repaid (amortized) over a given period of time making equal and periodic payments

Both principal and interests are retired in each payment. (Blended payment)

basically an annuity

21
Q

As time passes, a greater amount of your PMT goes into principal repayment and a lower amount goes into interest repayment of the mortgage

true or false

A

true

the latter payments become more and mor principal because we own more more equity

22
Q

Amortization period

A

the time that it takes that your loan is fully repaid (i.e., amortized or retired)

Payments are based on amortization period

23
Q

Mortgage term (or loan term)

A

period for which investors can “lock in” at a fixed rate, which might be revised or renegotiated after the term ends

24
Q

Five Key Features of a Mortgage

A

Present Value of the Loan Payments

Payment

Remaining Balance (at any point in time)

Lender’s Yield (internal rate of return – IRR)

Borrower’s Effective Borrowing Cost (EBC)

25
Q

Lender’s Yield (IRR)

A

The actual yield after loan modifications

Implicit interest rate received on a loan

Also lender’s expected IRR on loan

26
Q

What is the Lender’s Yield (IRR) based on?

A
  1. Actual cash loaned out by lender

2. Actual cash payments received by lender

27
Q

Effective Borrowing Cost (EBC)

A

Third-party expenses

up-front expenses incurred by borrower but not paid to lender

28
Q

Types of Effective Borrowing Cost (EBC)

A

Mortgage insurance premium

Lender’s title insurance

Charges to record your mortgage (county)

Appraisal

Survey

29
Q

Any effects of Effective Borrowing Cost (EBC)

A

Borrower net less cash at loan closing than lender’s actual net disbursement to borrower

EBC > Lender’s yield / IRR

Basically, the effects of the Lender’s Yield do not affect the Lender

–> he lends the same amount after his own addition expenses that mess up the borrower

On the other hand, the borrower is getting roasted and gets even lesser mounts of the loan all the while respecting the mortgage payments that were set at the beginning (without any loan expenses being considered)

30
Q

What does a prepayment of the loan cause to the Lender’s yield and the Borrower’s EBC

A

They both dramatically increase compared as to when there is no repayment of the loan

31
Q

Interest-only mortgage

A

Not typically observed with home loans

More common with income property (CRE) loans

32
Q

Partially amortized mortgage

A

Loan maturity/term is shorter than amortization period

Results in balloon payment at the end of term

Very common in CRE lending

FV =/=0

33
Q

Early payment mortgage

A

Most home loans allow borrowers to make unscheduled “extra” payments along with their monthly payment

These extra payments go toward reduction of the principal balance

would not reduce current PMT

34
Q

when we have ARM mortgage payments, what are caps

A

caps are the percentage we add to the initial interest rate in our contract in a certain year for our mortgage payments

35
Q

what are ARM mortgage payments

A

payments that change yearly based on a changing interest rate seton a contract

could be based on a specific addition to the Index (one year treasury security yields) or caps

36
Q

when do we choose caps vs adding a specified percentage to the Index (one year treasury security yields) in ARM mortgage payments?

A

we choose caps when the amount, added to the initial interest rate, is lower than the percentage added to the index
