The deposit is typically held by the title company in an escrow account. When the home sale closes, this goes toward the down payment or closing costs. If the sale falls through, the deposit is either returned to the buyer or given to the seller, depending on whether the reason for termination was permitted in the purchase agreement.

This letter doesn’t mean the borrower is guaranteed a loan, but the letter can be given to a seller to demonstrate that the homebuyer is in a strong position to get financing.

This is used by mortgage lenders to compare the loan amount against the property value. Typically, a ratio of 80 percent or less — which corresponds to a 20 percent down payment — is ideal. With a conventional loan, a ratio greater than 80 percent means you’ll need to purchase private mortgage insurance, an extra expense. Some government-backed mortgages, such as FHA or VA loans, permit higher ratios, and may or may not come with the mortgage insurance requirement.

Part of each payment goes toward the principal, or the amount borrowed, while the other portion goes toward interest. A typical home loan might payments over a 15-, 20- or 30-year term, with the amount allocated to interest and principal decreasing and increasing, respectively, over the term.

This process considers factors like the borrower’s credit report and score, income, debt, and the value of the property they intend to buy. Many lenders follow standard guidelines from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when determining whether to approve a loan.

These accounts also hold the earnest money the buyer deposits between the time their offer have been accepted and the closing. The account is used for insurance and taxes is usually set up by the mortgage lender, who makes the insurance and tax payments on the borrower’s behalf. This system assures the lender that those bills are paid and gives the borrower the convenience of paying for these expenses in small installments each month, instead of being hit with a large bill once or twice a year. All our loans are required to have this account.

This reflects the cost of borrowing the money for a mortgage. A broader measure than the interest rate alone. It includes the interest rate, discount points and other fees that come with the loan. It is higher than the interest rate and is a better gauge of the true cost of the loan.

Usually including any mortgage insurance premium or mortgage guaranty funding fee set forth in the applicable program documents.

This is the amount of a home’s purchase price a homebuyer pays upfront. Buyers typically brings a percentage of the home’s value to the closing table, then borrow the rest in the form of a mortgage. A larger amount can help improve a borrower’s chances of getting a lower interestrate. Different kinds of mortgages have varying minimum amounts.

They include a variety of expenses paid at the time of the loan signing, such as an origination fee, appraisal fee, credit report fee, title search fee and others. These costs are generally paid by homebuyers, but sellers may cover some of the costs in certain situations.

The portion of your payment that covers the loan amount borrowed, what the lender gets as repayment for the loan. Another portion covers property the home sits on and to protect it. These funds may go into an escrow account.

This protects the lender — not the borrower — from loss if the borrower stops making payments on the loan. When purchasing or refinancing, it may be required if the borrower’s home equity is less than 20 percent of the property’s value.

This document includes the interest rate, monthly payment, and the total closing costs, and taxes, insurance, prepayment penalties and other important information about the loan. It is designed to make it easier for borrowers to compare terms when shopping for a mortgage — receiving one does not mean they’ve been approved or denied for the loan.

This is a measure of a borrower’s ability to repay a mortgage and is calculated by adding up all of the borrower’s monthly debt payments and dividing the total by the borrower’s gross monthly income. For example, if a borrower’s debt payments total $4,000 a month and their gross monthly income is $10,000, the ratio would be 40 percent. Many lenders look for borrowers to have a ratio no higher than 43 percent, but there is some flexibility with that figure.

This is the sum of the balances of multiple loans on a property divided by the property’s value. This ratio is often described as a percentage
