| The
loan amortizes every 14 days saving you money. Every
year, your payment will increase by a MAXIMUM of
7.5% of the payment, NOT the balance. The 7.5% is
not an increase of the rate, just the payment.
The
start rate shown on this program is at 3.4%. You
can start at as low as 1.25%, but we suggest the
3.4% rate to eliminate any negative amortization.
As you can see it can easily save you thousands
of dollars compared to a fixed rate program.
How
the rate is calculated:
The rate is calculated by the COSI index (Cost of
Savings Index). This is what banks pay on checking,
savings and CD accounts (current average is 2.18%).
To this index, a margin of 3.4% is added to reach
the fully indexed rate of 5.58%.
This lender is a portfolio lender and they never
sell your mortgage. They allow you to start at the
lower 3.4% to give you extra cash flow throughout
the first years of the mortgage. Should you want
to pay anything additional, just send it in at the
end of the month with the coupon that you will receive
in the mail. If you have any questions, please call
1-800-383-8070 a representative would be happy to
help you. |
