Generally banks don’t wish to offer loan like personal as it is not profitable because these are short term loans and the amount is too small. But it is profitable for borrower. This type of loan offer people a way to arrange funds for multiple uses. Some are necessary while others are for pure enjoyment. It is important that you consider the financial obligation that comes with personal loans. Generally people accept money quickly than struggle to repay it. If you don’t have a good income, you may find yourself unable to make the payments of loan installments. Enrolling in a debt management plan can be helpful in facing financial obligations.

SBA Loan

Feb 28

Posted by admin in Loan | No Comments

     Many of our start up business clients at Ethos360.com come to us with basic questions on how to get financing from the SBA. There are a few things to have in your back pocket (and on the tip of your tongue) before going to them in order to increase your chances of getting approved.

     1. Know your business inside and out.

     You will need a business plan that not only covers all of the details of your business idea, but is also devoid of unnecessary embellishment and hyper extended financial projections. The SBA wants to know what you’re doing and how you’re going to do it. Also, they want to see evidence that you are qualified and capable of executing the tasks outlined in your business plan. The Management Summary of your business plan should detail your experience or at least the experience of the people you’ll have on hand to make up for any lack of qualifications you’ll have.

     2. Show that you have invested in yourself and your business.

     This seems like an obvious requirement, but a surprising number of people come up against a wall when faced with this. The SBA is not a zero percent down financing solution. You will have to show that you have invested a good sum of your own money, time and effort into the business in order to get the SBA to put up the loan. The SBA will not underwrite 100% of the venture so this means that you will have to not only have collateral for the loan, but will be providing evidence of having previously invested at least 25% to 50% of the asking amount in the business.

Mortgage Rates Predictions

Feb 28

Posted by admin in Care | No Comments

     Mortgage interest rates predictions are on the rise, because of a number of important economic pressures.

     1. Mortgage Rates Predictions Rise Due To Rising Inflation

     The rate of inflation is calculated into the interest rates charged for mortgages, credit cards, and other forms of lending. Rising oil prices, and the resulting rises in the price of transport, food, heating, and other necessities, will feed into a higher rate of inflation in the near future. This will put upward pressure on mortgage rates predictions.

     2. Mortgage Rates Predictions Rise Due To The Falling US Dollar

     As a result of the sub-prime crisis, which has now spread to the prime mortgage market due to excessive forced sales and falling property values, the entire US financial system is regarded by the rest of the world as unstable. This is resulting in a flight of capital from the US. The only way to entice capital to remain in the US, and thus halt the slide in the US dollar, is to pay a higher return, which means having a higher general interest rate within the US.

     Until the US dollar stabilises, there will be significant upward pressure on mortgage interest rates predictions. Read the rest of this entry »

Home Equity Loan Tips

Feb 28

Posted by admin in Loan | No Comments

     Which is better: HELOC or HEL? This is a problem that confronts most people who desire to borrow against their home equity. The choice of home equity debt depends on the following factors:

     Purpose
     People are generally confused about the kind of home equity debt that should be sought, since both HELOC and HEL are home equity debts. The choice of a home equity debt depends on the purpose for which we intend to use it. When the money is required all at once for major one-time expenses, like buying a car or consolidating debts, a home equity loan is preferred. In case of recurring expenses like home repairs, medical bills and education, a HELOC is a better option.

     Making Payments
     A home equity loan is a lump sum payment made to the borrower. The borrower in turn is expected to pay interest and principal payments on a monthly basis. The interest payments may be tax deductible. In case of a HELOC, during the ‘interest only’ period a person is required to pay an interest on the amount of money he uses from the loan that is sanctioned. In other words, a HELOC is like a credit card that allows you to withdraw an amount as and when required. If you are confident about the time and the amount of financial commitments, a home equity loan would be a better option.

Second Mortgage

Feb 28

     Now let us try and understand what is a second mortgage loan and what are the conditions in which the lender will sanction it. Second mortgage is, like the name suggests, a loan taken where the asset/property is mortgaged for the second time. Simply, it is a second loan taken on the mortgaged property. It is also a secondary mortgage in the sense that, in case there is a default on the loan, the property will be sold and the proceeds will be used to pay off the first loan. The remaining proceeds from the foreclosure, if any, will be used to pay off the second mortgage. So the second mortgage lender runs a risk that he may not recover the money he lent. So as this is a risky proposition for the lender, a second mortgage rate is understandably higher.

     But how does a second mortgage work. A second mortgage has its share of restrictions. For instance, you don’t get to decide the amount you will get for your second mortgage. The amount of a second mortgage is decided by the built up equity. The built up equity on a property may be defined as the difference between the market value of your home and the amount of mortgage payments due. Hence, if your property is worth $100,000 and your outstanding mortgage payments are $65,000 then you will receive an amount of $35,000 for your second mortgage. Sometimes, although very rarely, there is a chance that the lenders will allow your total debt to go up to 125% of your property value. In this case, you can obtain an amount of $60,000 on your second mortgage. But the chances of that are very rare in the present circumstances and requires an excellent credit history. But second mortgage rates of interest are very high and it is a risky proposition overall for both you and the lender.
