Sometimes the lowest mortgage interest rate is just not worth it...

Sometimes the lowest mortgage interest rate is just not worth it...

There are other important factors to consider when evaluating a mortgage:

1.  Are there any annual fees or service charges?
Invis - Wilkins & Associates Mortgage Brokers
If so, they can negate the benefit of the lower mortgage interest rate.

2.  What is the pre-payment penalty?
Invis - Wilkins & Associates Mortgage Brokers
Certain mortgage products have a low mortgage interest rate, but if you pay it out before the contract has matured, there are extra penalties and fees to pay.

3.  What are your future plans?
Invis - Wilkins & Associates Mortgage Brokers
Will you sell in a year or two? Do you plan on buying a rental property?Will you need funds for a renovation, vacation or investment?

 

 

service matters
4.  Does your current mortgage align with your goals, or could it better suit your current needs?
Invis - Wilkins & Associates Mortgage Brokers
A properly structured mortgage can save you more through minimizing penalties, offering flexible payment and pre-payment options or by granting you access to your equity for home renovations, vacations or investments.

5.  How will you be treated when you need to contact your lender?
Invis - Wilkins & Associates Mortgage Brokers
You need to consider the level of service provided by the lender and your mortgage broker.

Times in Need - Example 1
Invis - Wilkins & Associates Mortgage Brokers

happy family A broker in our office had a client who was going through a divorce, and the house had to be liquidated. The Mom and kids wanted to stay in their home, but could not quite qualify to refinance it. Their lender, which was not an chartered bank,

decided waive the penalty required for their refinance in order to keep their family and home in tact. Sometimes this lender has mortgage interest rates that are 0.1% higher, (though they are usually the same as the lowest rates available), resulting in just a few extra dollars per month on the mortgage payment.

Though this is an extraordinary example, I have access to lenders who are very supportive of their clients and will make adjustments to help their clients through tougher times.

Times in Need - Example 2
Invis - Wilkins & Associates Mortgage Brokers

This couple had found themselves in some financial hardship, but did not miss any mortgage payments. They visited a lender who offered them a loan to access some of the equity in their home, so they set  it up - they thought it was easier than trying to explain their financial challenges to their bank.

foreclosure
A short time later, they received a registered letter from their bank indicating that they were foreclosing on their mortgage loan. The lender had a clause in the mortgage contract that the borrower could not have a second charge registered on the title of their property, and immediately foreclosed the mortgage, as a matter of policy.

The bank did not contact the client to notify them of this breach of contract or try to make arrangements to remedy the situation (such as return the loan and have the second charge removed).

You need good advice to know which lenders are more service oriented and which ones are more policy bound.

The lowest mortgage  interest rate is only part of what makes a good mortgage. 

Getting the right mortgage product with a high level of service from your mortgage broker and lender are equally important.

Mortgage Product Spotlight:  The 50/50 Mortgage!
Summerland BC

  • 50% of your mortgage is at the 5 year fixed rate
  • 50% of your mortgage is a variable rate
  • variable rate can be locked in at the current fixed rate for the appropriate term remaining
  • monthly payments are split between the fixed and variable portions
  • you can choose which portion to apply any lump sum payments

 

fixed and variable rate mortgage
For example, you could use your prepayment privileges to pay down your highest rate (fixed rate) sooner to reduce your overall interest costs, OR, you could take the approach of paying down your ARM portion sooner to reduce the impact when Prime Rate increases.
