Mortgage Brokers and Loan Officers
Posted (admin) on 07-11-2008

Are you looking for a new career? You may want to think about becoming a mortgage broker or loan officer, or sell useful training material for brokers and loan officers.

If you type Mortgage Broker or Loan Officer in your search engine, you will find links to thousands and thousands of websites. This is because Mortgage Brokers and Loan Officers provide a much needed service to the public. They take applications for mortgage loans from potential homebuyers, and help the buyers find the right loan. If you ever applied for a mortgage loan for the purchase of a home, you worked with a broker or loan officer.

A mortgage broker works on his/her own bringing a borrower and lender together for the purpose of a mortgage loan. Brokers are quite often real estate agents in addition to working as a mortgage broker. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, there are approximately 40,000 mortgage brokers in the U.S.

The mortgage loan officer is an employee of a mortgage company, bank, or other mortgage lending institution. The U.S. Department of Labor reports that mortgage loan officers earned between $30,000 and $100,000 in 2005. However, highly motivated loan officers earn much more.

There should be no shortage of business for mortgage brokers and loan officers as numerous real estate properties are bought and sold every day in the U.S. The mortgage broker, loan officer field is a lucrative, well respected field that thousands of people are in now or want to start. There are also brokers and loan officers who are interested in enhancing their present business and knowledge.

You can sell well respected items that really do sell and get paid up to 50% in commissions. Mortgage Broker Training provides banners and text links to make it easy for you. Click below to take a look at some of the products.

Debt Consolidation Loans
Posted (admin) on 16-09-2008

Wouldn’t it be nice to make just one payment per month instead of several? Most of us not only have a mortgage payment. We have car payments, credit card payments, student loans, etc.

If you have been living in your home for a reasonable amount of time and you have acquired enough equity, you might want to consider a debt consolidation loan.

A debt consolidation loan is using the equity you have acquired in your home from monthly payments and appreciation to pay off all of your outstanding debt, leaving you with one monthly payment instead of several.

Consolidating your debt has the potential to save you a lot of cash on a monthly basis if you have accumulated a lot of debt.

The interest rates on credit cards alone are considerably higher than that which you would receive on a mortgage.

Another benefit is the interest you pay on your debt consolidation loan is tax deductible, unlike your other debt.

Consolidating your debt is a great way to save money, but don’t just dive in. Take the time to educate yourself about the mortgage industry and definitely shop around for the best deal. The mortgage industry is very competitive, so let them compete for your business.

Another benefit to consolidating your debt is that it will help your credit score go up.

The accounts you have outstanding that you owe money to are called open trade lines, by paying these off and than closing a few of them to keep your debt under control, you will be effectively increasing your credit score over time, which is how lenders determine your payment history.

Learn To Break The Chains Of Debt
Posted (admin) on 15-08-2008

You Can Either Spend a Few Minutes Learning How to Break the Chains of Debtor Enjoy Being a SLAVE To Your Debt For The Next 25-30 YEARS

It amazes me that there are things like this out there, available to anyone, that no one really wants to tell us about. The banks and mortgage lenders don’t want you to know because all that interest you pay is their profit. Over the last few years, how many of you refinanced to take advantage of the lower rates? I’m sure some of you even thought it was a great idea to get interest only or negatively amortized loans which you will surely regret in the next few years. Refinancing at a lower rate is how we’ve been told is the best way to reduce the interest costs of servicing our debt.

So what is it that you are just not being told? If I told you that you could pay off all your existing 30 year mortgage and your other debt in 5 to 10 years or so, without changing the amount you pay to service your debt, you probably wouldn’t believe me. Anytime something sounds too good to be true, it is natural to suspect deception. So I have two things to accomplish with the rest of this article - convince you it is possible and show you how you your debt can be paid off honestly and fairly without you committing any upfront cash or obligation.

Whether you believe me that it is possible to completely pay off your 30-year mortgage quickly is a lot like the situation with the four-minute mile. Before it was done and common knowledge, it seemed impossible, but once others had done it, it no longer became so uncommon. When I was shown that it matters where my money is sitting each and every day of the month, when Daily Calculated Interest was explained to me, and when I learned that banks manage their money to their advantage, I knew there had to be a better way. I reviewed every single book I could get my hands on through the county library system, I checked out all the online gurus, and was shown a process available to anyone that wants to pay off all their debts quickly.

**************************************************************

Example of Savings When Daily Calculated Interest Matters:
Traditional Mortgage Accelerated Plan
$150,000(original loan amount) $150,000(original loan amount)
7% Interest 7% Interest
After 5 Years = $9,000 Equity After 55 Days = $6,500 Equity
30 Years To Pay Off 6 Years 2 Months To Pay Off
Total Paid $359,000 Total Paid $185,000
Interest Paid $209,000 Interest Paid $35,000

Interest Savings $174,000

After 10 Years = 10% Principle Paid
After 22 Years = 50% Principle Paid

**************************************************************

Why don’t more of us take advantage of these plans and systems? Other than the fact that most of us don’t even know they exist, it is also true that we typically don’t have the discipline to follow through with financial plans. I heard just recently that something like one out of twenty people that starts ANY kind of fincancial plan will actually follow through with it.

In order to pay off your mortgage and debt in a third the time requires discipline to pay in accordance to a specific plan on precisely the correct days of the month throughout the course of the 5 to 10 years until all the debt is paid. Missing days here and there will easily frustrate you and can add many months and even years to the eventual payoff.

Would it be worthwhile to have your debt completely paid off in the next 5 to 10 years? Most people don’t even stay in the same house for more than ten years nowadays. Either that, or they have already refinanced in order to “pull more cash out.” In both of these cases they would have done so having paid down no more than 15 percent of the original principle. There is no way we will get ahead like that, and I think the banks like it that way. Having your house completely paid off, being completely out of debt - just imagine what your life will be like. Would you travel, would you add money to your children’s educational accounts, would you set aside more for your own retirement - much earlier?

As I said before, there are plans and systems out there, mostly for a price. I have reviewed many of them, and I believe some provide really great “do-it-yourself” plans for getting out of debt fast. What these plans cannot give you is the discipline to follow through. So what I encourage you to do is to outsource the discipline, removing ALL doubt that you will be completely debt free on the schedule you determine up front. Find a company that offers an overview and a no cost, no obligation debt analysis, providing at least 2 to 8 possible solutions for completely eliminating your debt in record time. Expect to be shown options to slice off 1/3 the time and money you’d pay servicing your debt, including your mortgage. Ultimately, you should be empowered to choose your own solution.

Good luck!
