Private Mortgage Insurance is provided by a private mortgage insurance company to protect lenders against loss if a borrower defaults. Private Mortgage Insurance is generally required for a loan with an initial loan to value (LTV) percentage in excess of 80%. In most cases, this will mean that you will have to pay Private Mortgage Insurance if your down payment is less than 20% of the value of the home you are purchasing or refinancing. The cost of the mortgage insurance is typically added to the monthly mortgage payment.
Home loan interest rates refer to the percentage charged by licensed lenders, such as each Gesa Credit Union in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho branch, on the principal amount borrowed for purchasing a home, influencing the total cost of the loan, and determining your monthly mortgage payment amount.
Interest rates play a pivotal role in home mortgage payments. A lower interest rate on your home loan from Gesa Credit Union can lead to more affordable monthly payments and reduced overall loan costs.
Your interest rate is the monthly cost you pay on the unpaid balance of your home loan. An Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes both your interest rate and any additional cost or prepaid finance charges such as the origination fee, points, private mortgage insurance, underwriting, and processing fees (your actual fees may not include all of these items). While your interest rate is the rate at which you will make your monthly mortgage payments, the APR is a universal measurement that can assist you in comparing the cost of mortgage loans offered by different mortgage lenders.
