What points you must consider when choosing a mortgage to get into this business?
The elements to get a mortgage are analyzed in this document, in order to get a better understanding of them.
Amount to Apply
Up to 80% of the appraised value of the property can be usually granted by the banks with no additional guarantees. If you have enough savings to cover the other 20%, you will be an affordable option for the banks, if you are unable to meet this standards it is very likely that you will need higher rate mortgages or additional guarantees.
Interest Rates for the Mortgage.
Variable, fixed and Mixed rates are the three different rates a bank will offer you, each one has their own benefits, for example the variable rates as their name shows will vary with the time, if the mortgage rates are high you will pay more, if they are low you will pay less, the fixed rates are usually more expensive, but will give you the certainty of paying the same amount all the time, on the other hand the mixed rates are a mix of both worlds, they start as fixed (the first 3 to 5 years) and after that period they will become variable.
Amortization
The increase of interest over time comes when you chose longer repayment periods (as you can imagine the rise of the final mortgage amount grows as well), nevertheless on the contrary if you chose a shorter repayment period of time the interest will be less since the main amount is returning to the original lender faster (furthermore the total cost of the mortgage decreases); from this perspective a higher quota has to be expected since more capital is amortized in less time.
Related Products
It is pretty common that banks want to offer you other products that may improve the conditions of your mortgage, such products may be credit cards, multi-risk insurance and life insurance; remember to ask for the cost of each one of these products and if you are really interested in them compare with similar products available in the market, because they may be a waste of money at the end of the day.
Commissions for the Bank.
The commission game is like any other business game, there are banks that charge more than others, that is why it is important to negotiate your commissions, in general there are 5 types of commissions: opening and study, partial redemption, cancellation, subrogation and modification, you can negotiate each one of these and even make them zero!!!, remember that most of the commissions are regulated by law (except for opening and study commissions)
