Written by Carrie Reeder

Have you heard about or been interested in finding out more about option one mortgage loans? They are becoming very popular, but its important to understand how they work before you apply for one. I will describe, in this article, an overview of repparttar

most common type of option ARM mortgage loan or option one mortgage loan.

How do they work? Option one mortgage loans are basically interest only mortgage loans, except that repparttar 149293 first year, you pay only 1.25% of repparttar 149294 interest on repparttar 149295 loan. The remainder of repparttar 149296 interest that is accruing is being added to repparttar 149297 loan amount. The second year of repparttar 149298 loan you pay more interest until gradually you are paying either full interest only payments or fully amortized payments (interest & principle). The reason repparttar 149299 loans are called option loans is because every time you have a payment due, you have repparttar 149300 option of paying repparttar 149301 less than interest only portion, interest only or a fully amortized payment. This option would be good in a situation where your income is sporadic.

This mortgage loan type typically gives you 4 payment options in every bill.

Here are your typical monthly payment options:

Option #1 – Pay a 15-Year fully amortized payment amount (p&i)

Option #2 – Pay a 30-Year fully amortized payment amount (p&i)

Option #3 – Pay repparttar 149302 interest-only portion of repparttar 149303 loan (Interest Only)

Option #4 – Make a partial interest payment (1.25% - 1.95% depending on your loan type) and defer paying repparttar 149304 additional interest to repparttar 149305 total loan amount. (Deferred interest can be counteracted by making bi-monthly payments and by property appreciation)

This type of loan is good if you want to:

Wait a while to refinance again – If interest rates drop again, so does your payment. If you want to accelerate your payments and increase equity quick, pay more on your loan and it will be applied to future payments & will be directly applied to repparttar 149306 principle balance. Will you want a 30-year loan? Keep repparttar 149307 option to pay your loan as a 30-year, 15-year, or interest only payments.
