Choose Your Mortgage
When it comes to buying a home there are more factors and options that go into selecting your forever home. Before you decide to purchase a home, it is always a good idea to get pre-
approved so you can know what price range of your forever home will be in and what homes you
are able to afford. The next step would be to find your home and find out what mortgage loan will fit you the best. Lastly, get approved for your home loan and close on your forever home.
There are many mortgage loans options for your forever home. So, let’s look at the Conventional and FHA mortgage loans for first time home buyers. The first type of mortgage loans is a conventional mortgage loan is the most use mortgage loan people tend to use and first home buyers get. The pros of a conventional mortgage loan are to give you higher loan limits, flexible interest rates, lower monthly insurance payments, low down payments, and a faster closing. The cons of a conventional mortgage loan are Higher interest rates, more mortgage insurance, higher credit score, financial history is examined more closely, higher closing costs. The FHA home loans have many pros you can have a low credit score so with a credit score of 580 or higher lets you have a down payment of 3.5% and credit score of 500-579 must have a down payment of 10%. Better interest rates, and even flexible DTI requirements. The cons of FHA loans are higher mortgage insurance premiums, property requirements, and loan limits.
The reason why I made the decision to use a first-time conventional mortgage is because I have never bought a home before so this would be my first home. I have 5% or more for a down payment on my new home. My Debt-to-Income ratio is at 35% and it’s a good point for me
to invest in a home instead of renting. I also have had a pay raise, and my monthly income has gone up and makes it even more reasonable for me to purchase a home. After reviewing a conventional and FHA loans and their pros and cons to these two types of loans. I have chosen to
go with a conventional home loan as my option to purchase my first home. The mortgage that I chose was a new home or first home mortgage. I found a house that is selling for $304,000.00 and it’s a 3-bedroom 2 bath home in the city limits of Artesia, New Mexico. I chose a conventional mortgage for 30-years with a down payment of 5% with an interest rate of 6.5%. So, with a $304,000.00 dollar house and 5% down payment of $15,200.00, and a 6.5% interest rate I would have a monthly payment of $1,825.41. This means I would have an estimated tax of $174.80 and home insurance of $134.27. This would mean my total monthly payment would be $2,134,48. The home isn’t in flood range and doesn’t require earthquake insurance. The total amount that I would have to have for closing costs on my new home would be around $20,000.00 this would get me into my home.

Choose a Mortgage Loan
Banks and other lending institutions offer a wide variety of mortgage loans that can be tailored to the financial situations of most people who want to
buy a house. Several of the more common types of mortgage loans are described below.
• Conventional fixed-rate mortgages charge the same rate of interest over the term of the loan. They typically require a substantial down payment
of 20 percent or more of the home's purchase price and have terms that can last from 15 to 30 years.
• Adjustable-rate mortgages charge an interest rate that initially is lower than that charged on a conventional fixed-rate mortgage. This rate,
however, will be adjusted as prevailing interest rates change. They also require a substantial down payment and have terms that last from 15 to
30 years.
Federal Housing Authority (FHA) mortgages are available to first-time homeowners at fixed interest rates that are normally similar to those
charged on conventional fixed-rate mortgages. Because…

Answer

Learn to make the right decision for your family. Realize that everyone in the transaction of you buying a house wants you to buy the biggest house you can afford. They make more money from the transaction when you buy more house than you can afford, but still qualify for.
How much more interest will you pay on a 30 year mortgage versus a 15 year mortgage?
Using the following values for average mortgage rates today, compare how much you will pay in interest over the life of the mortgage.
30 year mortgage. i = 2.98, n=30, $300,000 = mortgage value
15 year mortgage. i = 2.75, n=15, $300,000 = mortgage value
If you run the numbers, you will come out with $457,987 for the 30 year mortgage over 30 years and only $341.691 for the 15 year mortgage. Subtract the $300,000 from both numbers for the principal and you will have the interest only.

Question 9
Read the problem carefully and use UPS Check to solve the problem. Show your mathematical thinking and record your final solution.
Part of the agreement between your spouse and yourself for purchasing a larger house than you could currently afford was that you would build a
garden and sell produce to make some extra money. Your plan is that the garden proceeds will cover 20% of your $1,500 mortgage payment for four months
during the year. The Homeowner association has recently reinforced that 'food-production' space must be in the backyard and may not consume more that 20% of
the backyard. If your backyard is 60' x 130', how many dollars per garden square foot will you need to average per production month in order to meet
your planned mortgage reduction?
Your answer:
O $1.35 per square foot
O $0.96 per square foot
O $0.38 per square foot
$0.19 per square foot
