    Florida Jumbo ARM Mortgage Rates

    Written by Michael Byrne  |  September 9, 2009 8:18 AM Financing in Boca Raton
    No comments | 128 views

    Florida Jumbo ARM Mortgage Rates have ticked down a bit as of late for all Counties of Florida, giving hope that much needed liquidity is being added to the secondary market.  This is great news for Florida borrowers. 

    At First Interstate Financial Cop., we have successfully added an investor that offers excellent Florida Jumbo ARM Mortgage Rates.  As of the close of business on 9/04/2009, the following fully amortized and interest-only Florida Jumbo ARM Mortgage Rates were available*:

     

    7/1 ARM    4.5%    4.31% APR

    7/1 I/O ARM 4.625%    4.49% APR

    5/1 ARM    4.125%   3.87% APR

    5/1 I/O ARM 4.25%    4.15%APR

    These Florida Jumbo ARM Mortgage Rates assume an owner-occupied property and are subject to qualification standards.  There are various loan-to-value qualifications, asset requirements, income requirements, and credit requirements as well.  The biggest caveat currently is an appraisal: appraisal reviews are quite stringent on this program.

    There are programs available for second home financing, cash-out refinances, construction loan take-outs, and purchase money financing.  We can offer loans for amounts up to 3 Million or higher, depending on your scenario.   

    Some prudent consumers in Florida, particularly those who receive large annual bonuses, see the benefit in utilizing an interest-only ARM option to make prepayments on their mortgage balance.  Interest-only options are available as well in all areas, and the interest-only portion of the loan is for 120 months.

    It is important when considering Florida Jumbo ARM Mortgage Rates that one carefully reviews their own financial situation and future plans. Our current financial crisis has proven a short-term ARM loan is not always a great fit for the consumer, and a reputable mortgage professional should always take into consideration a homeowner's goals for considering an adjustable rate mortgage loan.  Additionally, consumers should review the margin, index, and caps of any proposed adjustable rate mortgage loan they are considering.  I wrote this article  primarily for those currently with ARM loans, but it explains the basics of adjustable rate mortgage financing.

    Florida Jumbo ARM Mortgage Rates are not for everyone.  But for those with specific goals and those aware of the inherent risks, this program can be utilized as a great tool for saving money and for creating a sound financial plan.

    Mortgage Financing for a Qualified Personal Residence Trust- QPRT

    Written by Michael Byrne  |  July 1, 2009 1:12 PM Financing in New Jersey
    No comments | 446 views

    I recent did some research for a client who is considering placing a secondary home into a qualified personal residence trust  (QPRT).   I found that no traditional lenders will allow a loan they service, let alone allow for a newly originated loan, to be placed into an irrevocable trust such as a QPRT.  A QPRT is an irrevocable trust that can be used for both asset protection and tax savings, particularly for those with estates greater than $3.5 million in 2009.

    Our Portfolio Program allows for a loan to be both originated and serviced when held by an irrevocable trust such as a QPRT, subject to reviewing the document and underwriting the loan.  This is a niche for marketing to estate attorneys, elder care attorneys, CPA's and others.  The beneficiaries of the trust still need to personally guaranty the loan.

    This loan program is available to qualified applicants in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, and parts of NY.

    Loan terms include 30 and 40 year Fixed Rates, various Adjustable Rate Terms , and 15 Year Fixed Rate Terms.  Loan amounts range from 100k-1.5Million.
