Somerset Mortgage Lenders and Gregg Marcus strive to keep the public educated with tips meant to make getting your loan as easy and painless as possible. To this end, they have put together this brief how to guide on finding the right home loan program.
Whether it’s to purchase a new home or refinance your current home, there are an assortment of loan programs you have to chose from, based on a combination of your objectives and your eligibility.
Conventional Loans: Conforming Loans and Jumbo Loans
The conventional loan is the most common kind of loan, available to most people who have at least 3% of the requested loan amount available to pay as a down payment. The two most common types of conventional loan are conforming loans and jumbo loans.
Conforming loans are a type of conventional loan that are secured by Freddie Mac (FHLMC), Fannie Mae (FNMA) and other GSEs, or Government Sponsored Entities. These GSEs do not directly lend the money to borrowers but rather work with various lenders country-wide to provide loans that meet the average homebuyer’s needs. These entities also buy mortgage loans from lenders in order to re-package them as securities available for sale to investors on the secondary market.
For loan amounts that are higher than the loan limits set each year by the GSEs, private investors offer jumbo loans. The trade-off of going to a private investor to borrow a larger amount of money is that the interest rate on such loans is also usually higher.
Special Circumstances: Loans for First-Time Homebuyers, Low-Income Households, and People with Poor Credit
Government entities from a local to a federal level and private entities alike have worked to develop loan programs that make home ownership a reality for many people considered under-qualified for traditional mortgages. These include loans for first-time homebuyers and people with a low-to-moderate income that are insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
HUD and the FHA do not make loans directly, rather they insure loans, meaning that the lender still gets paid back even if you default on the home loan. Often, FHA insured loans are available with down payments lower than 3% of the total loan amount. There is a limit to how high of a loan the FHA will insure, but the limit is at least high enough to allow people in qualifying circumstances to buy reasonably.

We are, of course, very delighted to have had the pleasure of working with you during the loan acquisition. Your professional and courteous attitude, expert knowledge, and patience in handling our specific issues were very important to our complete customer satisfaction.

You and the entire Somerset Mortgage Lenders organization handled our issues as if they were their own, and we are completely satisfied.
We again thank you for the exceptional and professional service and look forward to patronizing your organization. Please forward this letter to the entire organization as we appreciate their hard work, professionalism and understanding in completing this transaction.

Reasons to Refinance Now

Reasons to Refinance Now
by Somerset Mortgage Lenders
To refinance is to pay off an existing mortgage with funds obtained from a new mortgage loan. There are numerous great reasons to refinance your mortgage, among them the following:
Lower Interest Rates: A prime time for many people to choose
Fix That Rate: If you currently have an adjustable rate mortgage, you may seriously want to consider refinancing to a fixed rate mortgage. Adjustable rate mortgages are far riskier to the borrow than fixed rate mortgages. The payments are unstable with a tendency to increase dramatically over time, making budgeting your monthly housing payments increasingly difficult.
Build Equity Faster: Buy refinancing to a loan with a shorter loan term, you pay off your loan faster and therefore build up equity in your home faster, equity that you can then use to make improvements to your home, pay for a big purchase or an emergency, or obtain additional credit. Borrowing against home equity through a refinance mortgage usually comes with a lower interest rate than other forms of credit, such as consumer loans and credit cards.
Own Your Home Free-and-Clear: It’s a phrase every homeowner covets, when they can finally be done paying off the money they borrowed to buy their home and own it outright. Refinancing is an excellent way to own your home free-and-clear sooner than you ever could have otherwise. One way to accomplish this is by reducing the loan term, or the amount of time you have to pay off the loan. A shorter loan term generally involves larger payments, but if you can afford to make them, it could be a wise and rewarding decision to refinance your current mortgage to one with a shorter loan term.
Get Cash in Hand: If you already have equity built up in your home, then you can refinance for a larger amount than you currently owe and take that additional amount out in cash. This is also known as a cash-out refinance.
Consolidate Debt: As home mortgages generally carry far lower interest rates than other forms of debt (ie. credit cards, car loans, or student loans), many people choose to refinance their home loans
