Mortgage Frequently Asked Questions

What does my mortgage payment include?

For most homeowners, the monthly mortgage payments include three separate parts:

Principal: Repayment on the amount borrowed

Interest: Payment to the lender for the amount borrowed

Taxes & Insurance: Monthly payments are normally made into a special escrow account for items like homeowners insurance and property taxes. It also may include payments such as flood insurance or Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

What is escrow in a mortgage?

A mortgage escrow account is where part of your monthly loan payment is deposited to cover costs associated with real property taxes, homeowners’ insurance and/or private mortgage insurance.

How much cash will I need to purchase a home?

The amount of cash that is necessary depends on a number of items. Generally speaking, though, you will need to supply:

Earnest Money: The deposit that is supplied when you make an offer on the house

Down Payment: A percentage of the cost of the home that is due at settlement

Closing Costs: Costs associated with processing paperwork to purchase or refinance a house

How do I know which mortgage type is best for me?

There is no simple formula to determine the type of mortgage that is best for you. This choice depends on a number of factors, including your current financial picture and how long you intend to keep your house. Evans can help you evaluate your choices and help you make the most appropriate decision.

How do I know how much house I can afford?

Generally speaking, you can purchase a home with a value of slightly over two times your annual household income. However, the amount that you can borrow will depend upon your employment history, credit history, current savings and debts, and the amount of down payment you are willing to make. You may also be able to take advantage of special loan programs for first time buyers to purchase a home with a higher value. Contact us and we can help you determine exactly how much you can afford.

How can I avoid an escrow shortage?

Mortgage payments can increase due to a shortage in the escrow. This can be for a few reasons including tax increases or if you deferred your payments at any point during the year. In order to make the shortage payment more manageable, the amount is spread over 12 months, increasing the monthly mortgage payment.
