What does PITI stand for in insurance?

PITI is normally used in conjunction with mortgage payments, standing for Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance.


Can you refinance out of bankruptcy?

I assume you are talking about a chapter 13??? A chapter 13 you can do this after [ one year if you have paid on time for 12 months through FHA] However your new payment must equal your present PITI.


House payment with tax included?

Commonly your mortgage payment is PITI, principal, interest, taxes and insurance...as all those things are what the kender cares about..they simply work as a billing/payment agent for the T&I, collecting from you monthly and paying on your behald to the dept or isn co. The morgage co sends a statement saying how much taxes and insurance were actually paid on your behalf (normally as part of the statement saying how much interest you paid), and what was paid (not what they collected), is useful for income taxes.


Can the trustee order a refinancning of first mortgage in chapter 13?

In my state the trustee can not order this but each State has a percentage of the equity in the home that may have to be used to pay creditors. You can tell the Trustee that you will refinance the loan if you need to after one year. You can Show them FHA Guidelines that state you must make your payments for one year on time before you can refinance or buy another home. You can do this even if you are still in a chapter 13. However your paments can not be more than your piti [ your payment, insurance, and taxes per month. pmi also it you have this ]. You can midigate this by getting an appraisal showing the trustee you do not have the equity in your home. Ask your attorney what the ratio is in your state concerning equity.


How do you calculate the front ratio when applying for a mortgage?

Lenders use a front ratio as a guideline to see if you qualify for a loan. Acceptable front ratios vary from lender to lender. You can calculate the total monthly housing costs for a single family home by adding up the loan's principal and interest, property taxes, and property insurance. For condominiums, cooperatives and PUDs, also add the cost of Home Owners' Association dues. Then divide the total by your gross monthly income. Example: Principal = 200, Interest = 600, Taxes = 100, Insurance = 40, HOA fee = 0, total PITI = 940 Gross monthly income = 4000 Front ratio = 940/4000 = 23.5% source: http://www.citifinancial.com/glossary/defin/FrontRatio.htm
