When upside down in a car loan how much more do you pay on a trade in?
If you are upside down with your car loan, meaning you owe more on it than what it is worth, you will need to pay the deficiency. That means if you owe $11,000 on your car and it is worth $9,500, then you will need to come up with $1,500 to erase the deficiency.
Keep in mind that this may only be the first step. You may also need to come up with a down payment on top of paying the loan deficiency. If you do not put money down and are still approved for a car loan, then you will find yourself upside down with your new car.
What happens if collateral used for loan is sold before the loan is repaid?
You are still responsible for paying the loan as before.
It may be possible: become a member of a competitve credit union. Shop for a credit union that offers loan rates based on credit rating. The advantage of taking care of your credit will become instantly clear: the better your credit score, the lower your loan rate. Credit unions work for their members and will also counsel you on how to improve your credit.
What happens to your car loan if you die?
The estate has to resolve the loan, either through selling the car or returning it to the lender.
Can you still buy a car with a credit score of 529?
Sure - however, another consideration to auto loans is ones 'Debt to Income Ratio'. Even with a perfect score of 850 (extremely rare to have) if your current debts equal over 60% of your income, you may not get the loan.
Debt to income relates the borrowers ability to repay, taking into consideration that the borrower will surely pay for his mortage and utilities before making the car payment, if he/she had a choice in the matter.
What does 1X30 1X60 and 1X90 mean in the mortgage business?

What jumbo mortgage loan means?
In general, there are two types of mortgage loans: (1) Conventional; and (2) Jumbo. Conventional loans are for no more than a certain amount (for example, $400,000). Jumbo loans are loans in greater amounts. Check with a mortgage broker in your area to find the dividing line.
Typically, a Jumbo loan will have higher interest rates, due to the bigger risk involved. In addition, people with lower credit scores may have more difficulty qualifying for a Jumbo loan.
Loan amounts greater than the conforming loan amount limit of $417,000, so $417,001

For a projection or pro-forma statement the ultimate answer is yes. Whether it is included on the projected income statement and projected statement of cash flows, and where / how is another story. I've seen banks that require that you exclude it, generally it is included.

1. when the bank allows or
2. when you pay off the mortgage.
When is a good time to refinance a home loan?
The best time to refinance a loan really depends on your personal needs and reasons for refinancing. You might want to lower your interest rate or mortgage term. Or maybe you want to cash out the equity from your home. Weighing the pros and cons of refinancing for your particular reason is the best way to determine when it is right for you.
Here are some considerations to take into account when you are deciding to refinance.
Lowering your interest rate
The interest rate on your mortgage is tied directly to how much you pay on your mortgage each month--lower rates usually mean lower payments. You may be able to get a lower rate because of changes in the market conditions or because your credit score has improved. A lower interest rate also may allow you to build equity in your home more quickly.
Adjusting the length of your mortgage
You may want a mortgage with a longer term to reduce the amount that you pay each month. However, this will also increase the length of time you will make mortgage payments and the total amount that you end up paying toward interest.
Shorter-term mortgages--for example, a 15-year mortgage instead of a 30-year mortgage--generally have lower interest rates. Plus, you pay off your loan sooner, further reducing your total interest costs. The trade-off is that your monthly payments usually are higher because you are paying more of the principal each month.
Changing from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage
If you have an adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, your monthly payments will change as the interest rate changes. With this kind of mortgage, your payments could increase or decrease.
You may find yourself uncomfortable with the prospect that your mortgage payments could go up. In this case, you may want to consider switching to a fixed-rate mortgage to give yourself some peace of mind by having a steady interest rate and monthly payment. You also might prefer a fixed-rate mortgage if you think interest rates will be increasing in the future.
Getting an ARM with better terms
If you currently have an ARM, will the next interest rate adjustment increase your monthly payments substantially? You may choose to refinance to get another ARM with better terms. For example, the new loan may start out at a lower interest rate. Or the new loan may offer smaller interest rate adjustments or lower payment caps, which means that the interest rate cannot exceed a certain amount.
Getting cash out from the equity built up in your home
Home equity is the dollar-value difference between the balance you owe on your mortgage and the value of your property. When you refinance for an amount greater than what you owe on your home, you can receive the difference in a cash payment (this is called a cash-out refinancing). You might choose to do this, for example, if you need cash to make home improvements or pay for a child's education.
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
How do you calculate the back ratio when applying for a mortgage?
Add all debt (anything a person pays interest on) includingprinciple and interest house payment
Divide that by monthly net income = back end ratio
example:
340 truck + 50 credit card + 1250 house payment = $1640
1640 divided by monthly income (4000)= 41%
What is a blanket mortgage A blanket mortgage is a mortgage loan used to finance more than on property. Builders and developers will use a blanket mortgage to buy lots of plots, or properties that they wish to build on or develop as a group, rather than trying to secure individual mortgages on each one individually. Blanket mortgages have a "release clause" so that if one property under the mortgage gets sold. then that portion of the loan can be paid off and the remaining outstanding balance adjusted accordingly. http://www.rogersgroupmortgage.com/
What is the difference between loan and credit card interest rates?
Interest calculations and methods are determined by each state's laws, but it is safe to say that the general differences include the following points: * •credit cards are generally revolving debt, meaning you can borrow and repay over and over. * a personal loan is an installment where you borrow once and repay the debt over a period of time, reducing the debt with each payment * credit cards can take many years to repay in only minimal payments are made. Personal loans should payoff sooner than a credit card of a similar amount. * because the two debts have different purposes, perhaps security and risks to the lender, they have different rates * interest on a credit card is generally based on the balance owing during a given month. It may also allow repayment in full in a very short period of time with no interest charge. Credit cards also often have annual fees that personal loans do not. * interest on a personal loan is generally amortized and is based on the principal outstanding, which should decline with every payment.
How much Mortgage can you get?
The question should not be "how much can i borrow?".. but "how much can i afford?" you should consult a financial or mortgage advisor who can go into your finances in detail and work out which product is best for you, and most importantly what you can afford now, and in the future if rates change. Consulting an advisor is not a comitment to buy a mortgage so dont worry.. just be sure the advise is free and the advisor is independent.
Many mortgage websites will have a calculator that will tell you how much you can borrow if you enter a few details.
This one is on mortgagefox.co.uk (my website)
http://www.mortgagefox.co.uk/free_mortgage_quote.php
As a general guide you can borrow up to 5 times your income nowadays if you are single, but you should make sure you can afford this
The amount each lender will give you varies from lender to lender and product to product, and depends on many factors. ie- If you a single, or a couple, your credit rating, any CCJ's or bad credit issues etc, if you need to self certify, if it is a remortgage / buy to let / first time buy etc etc.
As you think about applying for a home loan, you need to consider your personal finances. How much you earn versus how much you owe will likely determine how much a lender will allow you to borrow.
First, determine your gross monthly income. This will include any regular and recurring income that you can document. Unfortunately, if you can't document the income or it doesn't show up on your tax return, then you can't use it to qualify for a loan. However, you can use unearned sources of income such as alimony or lottery payoffs. And if you own income-producing assets such as real estate or stocks, the income from those can be estimated and used in this calculation. If you have questions about your specific situation, any good loan officer can review the rules.
What is an example of loan shark?
Okay, to do this I'm going to tell you a story, alright? we're going to have the people... bob and brian. Now bob is poor. Last week, he needed money so he went to brian, who offered him a hundred dollars, no more and no less. So Bob took the deal. One week later, brian comes around and asks for his hundred dollars back, plus 20 dollars interest (that's a HUGE amount!) but bob doesn't have the money. So brian says that bob doesn't have to pay this week, but will need to pay a total $200 next week. Now if bob can't pay off the money that he got plus the extra twenty, how should someone expect to get him to pay off $200? That's a loan shark: They lend money and then charge gargantuan interest rates which pile up continuously until they hit a point where the person can't pay anymore and spends the rest of their life paying the bill or goes and commits suicide or leaves the country (loan sharks aren't just in america...) Cruel world...
A loan shark is a private moneylender who operates outside of mainstream financial institutions and extends loans primarily to people who are unable to access these services through conventional methods. Due to the high risk of default and the illegality of their operations in many areas, loan sharks typically charge relatively high rates of interest compared to banks or credit unions.
However, despite their reputation as being "predatory" lenders, their interest rates are often lower than those of the (legal) payday lenders, who are the primary alternative for those who are unable to access conventional loan sources. Loan sharks also tend to be more flexible about negotiating with borrowers and will not subject applicants to credit checks, employment verification checks, citizenship verification, disclosure of taxpayer identification numbers, and various other hassles that present obstacles for people who are unable or unwilling to comply with these requirements.
Although they have a generally unfavorable reputation in popular folklore, actual violence by loan sharks is rare; however, they have been known to employ harassment or humiliation tactics against borrowers who do not repay their loan amounts within a reasonable period of time. Sometimes they will seize property from delinquent debtors if other methods of collection have failed and the risk of default is imminent.
Loan sharks tend to proliferate in urban areas where there are large numbers of people with steady wages and modest incomes. They also cater to immigrant communities who have a significant population of workers who are not documented citizens and are therefore ineligible for most conventional loans.
