E-Trade Mortgage Review(s) and Rates

Like many online banks in 2008, E-Trade got hit pretty hard by the industry collapse. You may even recall that earlier this year E-Trade sold its online savings accounts to Discover Bank to narrow it’s focus back to their basics – investing. However, according to an E-Trade spokesman, they are getting back into the mortgage game (kind of). TheStreet.com reported in March of 2009, that E*Trades re-emergence in the mortgage business is simply an outsource to PHH. They then cited the following:

“PHH Corp. of Mount Laurel, N.J. will take care of most aspects of the loan, including the processing, underwriting and servicing, while E*Trade will market the loans and help collect the necessary borrower information, E*Trade spokeswoman Pam Erickson said. ”

It also appears that E-Trade’s new mortgage center doesn’t really accommodate new home buyers as their products primarily consist of refinancing existing home loans.

2. No closing cost loans allow borrowers to include closing costs in the loan amount, preventing them from having to come up with the money all at once.
3. Mortgage rates change daily, sometimes several times throughout the day. A mortgage professional can monitor current mortgage rates for you.

Mortgage Delinquency Rates 2010: Optimistic trend forming?

At 10:00 am EST today, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will speak at the Fed’s annual meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And after the Dow just dipped yet again below the 10,000 mark yesterday, many investors will be tuning in to see how his perceived outlook could effect today’s market.

Among the many nightmare-ish charts Bernanke will be discussing, BankVibe.com will be closely following his interpretation of the current mortgage delinquency trends.

It seems there may be some reason for optimism according the Fed’s charts (which will be presented in the discussion). The charts show that actually as of May 2010, mortgage delinquency rates have begun to taper. Since the housing and economic collapse adjustable rate mortgages have been hit hardest with payment delinquencies. At their peak, mortgage payment delinquencies where affecting slightly over 15% of home owners with prime or near prime mortgages and a staggering 50% of all sub prime mortgages. For most of us, however, these facts are likely old news – what’s a more recent development is the beginning of a downward trend which these charts are beginning to show. Even subprime mortgage delinquency rates have begun to decline as of May.

So while rates still remain uncomfortably high, it still should be noted that there appears to be at least a faint light at the end of the tunnel.

Mortgage Rates and Review: Vision Bank

Vision Bank is currently offering a wide selection of mortgage products (both fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages) for those seeking a home loan or looking to refinance an existing loan. They have branches throughout Alabama and Florida and can do business with consumers in the southeast.

Vision Bank’s mortgage products:

30 year fixed rate mortgage – The traditional 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has a constant interest rate and monthly payments that never change. This may be a good choice if you plan to stay in your home for seven years or longer. If you plan to move within seven years, then adjustable-rate loans are usually cheaper. As a rule of thumb, it may be harder to qualify for fixed-rate loans than for adjustable rate loans. When interest rates are low, fixed-rate loans are generally not that much more expensive than adjustable-rate mortgages and may be a better deal in the long run, because you can lock in the rate for the life of your loan.

As of August 2010, Vision Bank has been offering thirty year fixed rate mortgages with an interest rate of 4.375% with a 20% down payment.

15 year fixed rate mortgage – This loan is fully amortized over a 15-year period and features constant monthly payments. It offers all the advantages of the 30-year loan, plus a lower interest rate—and you’ll own your home twice as fast. The disadvantage is that, with a 15-year loan, you commit to a higher monthly payment. Many borrowers opt for a 30-year fixed-rate loan and voluntarily make larger payments that will pay off their loan in 15 years. This approach is often safer than committing to a higher monthly payment, since the difference in interest rates isn’t that great.

As of August 2010, Vision Bank has been offering fifteen year fixed rate mortgages with an interest rate of 3.875% with a 20% down payment.

Hybrid ARM (3/1 ARM, 5/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM) – These increasingly popular ARMS—also called 3/1, 5/1 or 7/1—can offer the best of both worlds: lower interest rates (like ARMs) and a fixed payment for a longer period of time than most adjustable rate loans. For example, a “5/1 loan” has a fixed monthly payment and interest for the first five years and then turns into a traditional adjustable-rate loan, based on then-current rates for the remaining 25 years. It’s a good choice for people who expect to move (or refinance) before or shortly after the adjustment occurs.
