Are Balloon Mortgages For You?

A balloon mortgage can be an excellent option for many home buyers. A balloon mortgage is usually rather short, with a term of five to seven years, but the payment is based on a term of 30 years. They often have a lower interest rate, and can be easier to qualify for than a traditional 30 year fixed mortgage. There is, however, a risk to consider. At the end of your loan term you will need to pay off your outstanding balance. This usually means you must refinance, sell your home or convert the balloon mortgage to a traditional mortgage at the current interest rates.

Definitions

Mortgage amount: Original or expected balance for your mortgage.
Interest rate: Annual interest rate for this mortgage.
Term in years: The number of years over which you will repay this loan. The most common balloon mortgage terms are 5 years and 7 years. After the mortgage term is complete, you will then need to refinance or pay off the remaining balance.
Monthly payment: Monthly principal and interest payment (PI). The monthly payment is calculated using a 30 year term.
Total payments: Total of all monthly payments over the term of the balloon mortgage. This total payment amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal.
Total interest: Total of all interest paid over the term of the balloon mortgage. This total interest amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal.
Prepayment type: The frequency of prepayment. The options are: none, monthly, yearly, and one-time payment.
Prepayment amount: Amount that will be prepaid on your mortgage. This amount will be applied to the mortgage principal balance, based on the prepayment type.
Start with payment: This is the payment number that your prepayments will begin with. For a one time payment, this is the payment number that the single prepayment will be included in. All prepayments of principal are assumed to be received by your lender in time to be included in the following month's interest calculation.
Savings: Total amount of interest you will save by prepaying your mortgage.

Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions

Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.

The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.

Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.

Outer Banks Real Estate - The Most Important Tip You Need to Know Before Buying Property on the Outer Banks

The most important decision you must make before purchasing Outer Banks real estate is selecting the agent you will work with. Choosing the right agent will save you time and money; choosing the wrong one may cost you both.

More than 70% of real estate buyers deal with the first agent they speak with. Don't make this costly mistake!

Research has shown that many people spend more money on their second home or investment property than they do on their primary residence. This means that your Outer Banks real estate purchase may well be the most valuable financial decision of your lives.

With so much at stake, it's important that you secure the best possible agent to represent your interests.

Why would you settle for less than the very best?

When selecting the right Outer Banks real estate agent for your needs, consider these tips:

1. Is your agent a member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing?

Members have received extensive training in handling exceptional properties in the upper tier market.

Whether or not you are considering a home in the million dollar range, shouldn't you choose an agent who has received the highest level of training?

I am a proud member of the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing. Only 4 other agents in the entire Outer Banks real estate market (936 agents strong) can make this claim.

2. Has your agent received the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation?

Unlike many other designations, this one is performance-based, which means that the agent has achieved a solid track record of sales in the upper 10% of their market.

I have earned the coveted CLHMS designation, and only 2 other agents on the Outer Banks have received theirs.

3. Has your agent been recognized as a Million Dollar Guild member?

Million Dollar Guild status is accepted by real estate consumers the world over as the industry's elite. Success in the million dollar and above arena has been demonstrated and certified.

Simply put, it doesn't get better than this.

My strong performance in the luxury home tier has earned me membership in the exclusive Million Dollar Guild club.

Now that you realize that not all agents are alike, shouldn't you be calling the very best agent to assist you?

Let's talk about your Outer Banks real estate needs today. You may reach me toll-free direct at 877.207.1617.

I look forward to hearing from you.
