This differs depending on the lock type you choose. There are many different lock periods. They typically come in these intervals of days: 15, 21, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 180 and 360. The longer the lock term is, the higher the interest rate orcost of the loan will be. You should be able to choose whether to apply that to the cost of the loan or have that cost built into the rate. Most rate quotes are given on 30 day locks. Be sure to be asking for rate quotes that match your mortgage timeframe.

Good luck!

How many times can you modify your mortgage?

As long as both parties are in agreement, there is no limit to the number of times a mortgage can be renegotiated.


What is your mortgage payment?

A mortgage payment is an agreement entered into with a lender, which the borrower pays a monthly "mortgage" payment until the dept is repaid. To figure out what your actual payment would be, you can use many mortgage calculators, plugging in your specific interest rate and amount borrowed. See related links for the one I use.


What do you do if you have to pay your mortgage late?

A few days should be fine and many mortgage companies provide a grace period if someone needs a few extra days. Calling them will help and show your good intentions.


How does locking a mortgage rates work?

When you "lock in" a mortgage rate you are accepting the offer presented to you by the bank, mortgage lender, mortgage broker, or credit union you are working with. The lender is essentially reserving a spot for you and the money necessary to fund your loan at the agreed upon rate, assuming your mortgage application is approved. Having a rate lock is very different from a mortgage approval. The lender still has to review your application which will likely include looking at your credit history, the value of the property, and the amount of your existing assets and other debts. The lender won't make a commitment to lend until the application is approved. A rate lock is generally for a certain period of time, often 15, 30, 45, or 60 days. Once you lock in the rate, if you close within that window of the rate lock, your mortgage rate will not go up even if the market changes and mortgage rates increase. Talk to your mortgage representative about what will happen if your rate lock expires soon before closing due to the approval process taking longer than expected. Some lenders will offer to extend the rate lock, or share the cost of extending with the borrower. This may depend on whether the delay was due to issues on the lender's side or the borrower's. Locking in a rate is not a binding commitment to take out the loan. Should you change your mind about purchasing a home or refinancing you may always withdraw your loan application. If rates go down after locking in it's important to remember that the lender was committed to providing you a certain rate even if rates went up during the rate lock period. With that said many lenders have policies allowing applicants in this situation to "float down" and get closer to the market rate when rates drop after they have locked in.


Is it better to be 60 days late on a mortgage or 30 days late on many bills?

I would say based on credit rating that getting behind on a mortgage would be worse than being late on a few other bills. A lot depends on what the other bills are, but if you can try and pay the mortgage first.

Does a new mortgage company have to honor a loss mitigation contract from the previous mortgage company that was current with payments?

Only if the Mortgagor (borrower) had a signed agreement with the previous mortgage servicer working for the Mortgagee (lender). And then only if the Mortgagor was able to obtain a written agreement from the Mortgagee. Otherwise the Mortgagor is in no position outside a lawsuit to force performance. In most situations, the Mortgagor cannot afford to sue the Mortgagee for enforcement. In many cases the Mortgagor cannot get a written agreement to modify the Trust Deed or Promissory Note. This is my experience as of 12/05/08. Caveat Emptor is still the rule.
