Mortgage and Financing in Coronado CA

Financing

Your Home Purchase

Whether you are looking at a condo in Coronado or a house in San Diego, buying a home usually involves obtaining a mortgage loan unless you are downsizing your home or have equity for the full purchase amount, in which case you would not need a loan. It is important to figure out just how much property you can afford to spend your money on as well as maintain without overstepping your budget so that you do not waste time looking at homes that you will not be able to support. A simple and critical thing to do is to plan ahead for typical expenses related to buying a home such as your utilities, property taxed, strata fees, maintenance expenses, and any obvious renovations if the house needs them.

The best recommendation Gerri-Lynn Fives can give is to get a pre-approved for financing by a mortgage professional at the very beginning of the home buying process. Along with my partnership between myself and local mortgage brokers and financial institutions in Coronado and the greater San Diego area ensure that you are getting the best rates available and will put you in a position of power by being a serious cash buyer.

Mortgage Calculator

This mortgage calculator can be used to figure out monthly payments of a home mortgage loan, based on the home's sale price, the term of the loan desired, buyer's down payment percentage, and the loan's interest rate. This calculator factors in PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) for loans where less than 20% is put as a down payment. Also taken into consideration are the town property taxes, and their effect on the total monthly mortgage payment.

// If the form has already been calculated, the $down_payment // and $monthly_payment variables will be figured out, so we // can show them in this table if ($form_complete && $monthly_payment) { ?> if ($down_percent } ?> $assessed_price = ($sale_price * .85); $residential_yearly_tax = ($assessed_price / 1000) * 14; $residential_monthly_tax = $residential_yearly_tax / 12; if ($pmi_per_month) { $pmi_text = "PMI and "; } ?> } ?>

Monthly Payment:	echo "\$" . number_format($monthly_payment, "2", ".", ","); ?> (Principal & Interest ONLY)
	Since you are putting LESS than 20% down, you will need to pay PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance), which tends to be about $55 per month for every $100,000 financed (until you have paid off 20% of your loan). This could add echo "\$" . number_format($pmi_per_month, "2", ".", ","); ?> to your monthly payment.
Monthly Payment:	echo "\$" . number_format(($monthly_payment + $pmi_per_month), "2", ".", ","); ?> (Principal & Interest, and PMI)
Residential (or Property) Taxes are a little harder to figure out... In Massachusetts, the average resedential tax rate seems to be around $14 per year for every $1,000 of your property's assessed value. Let's say that your property's assessed value is 85% of what you actually paid for it - echo "\$" . number_format($assessed_price, "2", ".", ","); ?>. This would mean that your yearly residential taxes will be around echo "\$" . number_format($residential_yearly_tax, "2", ".", ","); ?> This could add echo "\$" . number_format($residential_monthly_tax, "2", ".", ","); ?> to your monthly payment.
TOTAL Monthly Payment:	echo "\$" . number_format(($monthly_payment + $pmi_per_month + $residential_monthly_tax), "2", ".", ","); ?> (including echo $pmi_text; ?> residential tax)

echo $step++; ?>	The down payment = The price of the home multiplied by the percentage down divided by 100 (for 5% down becomes 5/100 or 0.05) $ echo number_format($down_payment,"2",".",","); ?> = $ echo number_format($sale_price,"2",".",","); ?> X ( echo $down_percent; ?> / 100)

// Set some base variables $principal = $financing_price; $current_month = 1; $current_year = 1; // This basically, re-figures out the monthly payment, again. $power = -($month_term); $denom = pow((1 + $monthly_interest_rate), $power); $monthly_payment = $principal * ($monthly_interest_rate / (1 - $denom)); print("
