10 Benefits of Mortgage Insurance
By Arjun Rudra

1. Take it with you when you move. If you have a mortgage that's portable, you can transfer its terms to a new property in the future. This same option is available when you buy mortgage insurance, which can save you premiums when you move.

2. Be eligible for a better interest rate. Mortgage insurance provides a lender with the flexibility to offer you the same competitive mortgage interest rates available to home buyers with a larger down payment.

3. More down payment options. Don't let the down payment be the barrier to your home ownership dreams. There are many mortgage insurance products that will help you to achieve home ownership. Let's discuss the options that suit your situation best.

4. Buy, instead of renting. If you're paying rent right now, it can be a good move to consider buying a home that has similar monthly carrying costs. You'll enjoy the freedom of making your living space into your own home with your personal touch.

5. Overcome traditional barriers to financing. More and more homebuyers who may not have qualified for a mortgage are benefiting from mortgage insurance - for example, those who are self-employed or work on commission. With mortgage insurance, people who have good credit but might not meet conventional lending criteria can qualify for the financing they need.

6. Own and enjoy a vacation property. If your financial situation is in good standing and you are thinking about buying a vacation property, there are mortgage insurance options that will allow you to do so. Be sure to ask us about what will work best for you.

7. Get money back on an energy-efficient home. If you purchase an energy efficient home or refinance an existing home to make energy-saving renovations, you could be eligible to receive a 10% refund on your mortgage insurance premium if your mortgage is insured with Genworth Financial Canada.

8. Save on household purchases. When buying your first home, you'll find expenses can add up quickly.

9. Home ownership on your terms. With the right preparation and resources, you can buy a home that best suits your lifestyle. Mortgage insurance provides you with innovative options to help get you into home ownership.

10. Get help when you need it. Whether from a job loss, a serious illness, or a marriage breakup, financial difficulties can arise when you least expect them.

In 2005, Arjun read his first book on investing. For Arjun, that experience sparked a long, extremely exciting and fulfilling journey towards achieving financial freedom at, what some might consider a very young age. While that journey is ongoing and has taken countless hours till date, the elation of finding a truly undervalued stock or discovering a special situation in the capital markets wields a reaction that is probably akin to a prospector discovering a nugget of gold. Arjun founded Investing Thesis to chronicle his journey in the hopes that his successes and failures might work to the benefit of someone else.

Everything You Need to Know About a Negative Amortization Mortgage
By Mike Makler Platinum Quality Author

Most Property Owners are conditioned to believe that a Negative Amortization Mortgage is a Bad thing. Before you get that next mortgage shouldn't you get the facts so you can decide for yourself what is best.

The First Question many people have is what is a negative Amortization Mortgage. A Negative Amortization mortgage is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage with predictable payments over the life of the mortgage. On an Adjustable rate mortgage you can have interest rate caps and/ or payment caps. A Payment Cap says your payment can never increase by some cap usually every year. So if you have a $500 Month Payment on an Adjustable Rate Mortgage with a payment cap of 7.5 Percent per year your monthly payment cannot be higher then 537.50 the following year.

Now if your interest rate were to rise enough to force the needed payment to be $540.00 a month you would be in a negative Amortization situation.
The Additional $2.50 a month would be added to your principle. You can think of a Negative Amortization as an automatic loan from your bank. Every month when you get your statement from the bank you will see at least your payment options. Option 1 is the Minimum payment. If option 1 would force a negative Amortization you will also see an Option 2 which would be the interest only payment. You may also see an Option 3 which would be the payment needed to pay off your loan in 30 Years. Some banks will give you additional options like 15 Year pay outs.

The Downside of a Negative Amortization Mortgage is that in areas where real estate values don't rise or even fall you could end up owing the bank more then your home is worth if you only make the Minimum payment each and every month.

The Pros of a Negative Amortization is that is very easy to create a annual budget since you know that your mortgage payment will never exceed the payment cap. The flexibility to pay more is should you be able to is also a nice plus

Another Pro of a Negative Amortization Mortgage is that it offers very low introductory rates with payments fixed for the first 5 or 10 years. This means anyone can buy a home and know that for the next 5 or even 10 years their monthly payment will be the same.

Here is an Example of 2 different Loans. A Negative ARM loan with a fixed payment for 5 years based on an interest rate of 1.95 Percent or a 30 year Fixed Rate of 5.5 Percent, A 250,000 Loan at 5.5 percent would run about $1420.00. A 380,000 Loan at 1.95 percent would run about $1395.00 a month. For $25 a Month lower payment you are controlling $130,000 more property. That extra $130,000 would grow by $35,000 in the first 5 year at a modest 5% appreciation Rate ($52,000 at 7 Percent, $79,000 at 10 Percent) At the end of 30 Years at 5 Percent that $130,000 would grow to over $560,000. (Over $989,000 at 7 Percent, Over 2.2 Million Dollars at 10 Percent)

When one considers the payment flexibility, the low starting introductory rates, a Negative Amortization Mortgage will allow most homeowners to control more real estate for the same or less money. The Negative Amortization Mortgage is certainly something to be considered by most homeowners or prospective homeowners.

Pros and Cons of Mortgage Life Insurance
By Denise M

Mortgage life insurance is a type of insurance wherein the policy holder is able to clear mortgage liabilities in the event of the untimely death of the insured. In such a case, death benefits are equivalent to the outstanding balance on the loan. Quite clearly, this security gives tremendous peace of mind that no matter what, despite the worst case scenario, your family will always have a home to live in. Apart from that, many insurance policies offer optional provisions which include coverage for critical illness. With this option, the insurance company will pay out the outstanding loan in case you qualify conditions for terminal illness.

However, it is vital to examine the pros and cons of mortgage insurance before you make up your mind about purchasing a mortgage insurance policy. One of the major advantages of mortgage life insurance is that it is easy to obtain. In these days of uncertainty and insecurity, it may make sense to opt for a mortgage insurance policy to make sure your loved ones have a home to stay in, even if, anything were to happen to you.

Here are some advantages and disadvantages of a mortgage life policy to help you make an informed decision:

Advantages of Mortgage life insurance

  • Guarantees clearing your mortgage payment: The death benefit of mortgage life insurance pays off the outstanding balance on your mortgage, and thereby guarantees a home for your family in case of your death. What is also important to note is that, unlike a regular life insurance policy, death benefits from a mortgage insurance policy is not paid to your loved ones but goes directly to the mortgage company towards the payment of your outstanding mortgage. This is useful to ensure that death benefits are used primarily for the purpose of clearing off the mortgage.
  • Health qualifications for a Mortgage Insurance are considerably lower than qualifying for a regular life insurance policy: The health standard to meet to buy mortgage insurance is much lower than a regular term insurance policy. If you are in bad health then a regular life insurance policy may require you to pay higher premiums. If you suffer from severe health impairments, you may not even qualify for regular life insurance. In such cases, mortgage lifeinsurance is a very viable option for you. It gives you peace of mind by allowing you to get coverage for what is probably your biggest liability-your home.
  • Financial help during terminal illness: Mortgage life insurance policies may provide protection coverage in case of terminal illness, provided, your mortgage insurance includes terminal illness benefits and you opt for it. This indeed comes as great savior for the policy holder who contracts a terminal illness and can no longer work or earn money to pay the monthly mortgage. In such cases, the mortgage life insurance company will provide accelerated death benefits to pay off the mortgage.
Disadvantages of Mortgage Life insurance:
  • No payout until the stipulated time period is passed: Regardless of the situation there is no payout within the first six months of the policy. So in case any calamity strikes the insured before the stipulated time, the insured will not receive anything.
  • Mortgage life insurance coverage decreases with time: In case of your death, the amount of cover will depend on the term of insurance, which decreases more or less in line with the amount outstanding on your mortgage. As a result, you end up paying more for less coverage over the years. That essentially means by the end of the plan, there will be no benefits if you outlive the policy.
  • Excludes any Pre-existing medical condition: Any pre-existing medical conditions (terminal or otherwise) before the investment are excluded in the policy. Therefore, such conditions cannot be claimed if the situation arises.
  • Fixed monthly premiums Although insurance cover reduces with time the monthly premiums still remain fixed throughout the life of the policy.
  • Mortgage insurance may never be considered as popular as universal, whole or term life policies. However, there are some situations where you may want to consider purchasing a mortgage life insurance policy. By purchasing mortgage life insurance, you ensure your home remains a safe haven for your family and they can enjoy many more happier years to come in safety and comfort, simply because you were able to safeguard it for them, through a mortgage insurance policy.
