Noun

mortgage (plural mortgages)

  1. A special form of secured loan where the purpose of the loan must be specified to the lender, to purchase assets that must be fixed (not movable) property such as a house or piece of farm land. The assets are registered as the legal property of the borrower but the lender can seize them and dispose of them if they are not satisfied with the manner in which the repayment of the loan is conducted by the borrower. Once the loan is fully repaid, the lender loses this right of seizure and the assets are then deemed to be unencumbered.

Verb

to mortgage (third-person singular simple present mortgages, present participle mortgaging, simple past and past participle mortgaged)

  1. As in "to mortgage a property", to borrow against a property, to obtain a loan for another purpose by giving away the right of seizure to the lender over a fixed property such as a house or piece of land.

How much money do mortgage brokers make?
Q. I heard that mortgage brokers drive Porches and make tons of money. By and large, how much does the average mortgage broker make?
Asked by Carson - Fri Nov 24 22:42:31 2006 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Depends on the person. Two items that affect their income is volume (number of loans they close) and how aggressively they price their loans. With the real estate market booming and the rates being so low the last three years, loan officers stood to make quite a bit (everyone was buying and refinancing). Even inexperienced loan officers did well previously. When the market was hot, I saw good loan officers making around the $300,000 mark. But now things have slowed sales wise and rates have risen (not as many refinances). Some who made easy money previously have little to no pipeline now. Its sales - you need to build a referral base and be persistent. A good loan officer can still make over $100,000 per year. It can be a tough… [cont.]

If mortgage bonds are secured corporate bonds then how did the subprime bubble happen?
Q. I am trying to understand secure bonds and I know mortgage bonds are secured bonds,if that is the case,even if they default ,the investor should get the prinicipal back.Can someone give an explanation of this works.
Asked by kmm - Fri Oct 19 12:02:04 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'll try to explain this clearly, because it can be confusing: Person Z buys a house using a mortgage from Bank Z. Bank Z takes Person Z's mortgage and packages it up with many other mortgages. Bank Z then sells the mortgages to Company R. Company R issues bonds using the mortgages as collateral. In effect, they are saying "Even if our corporate credit isn't enough to convince you to buy our bonds, we're backing them up with these mortgages for extra protection." Because the bond is secured, they can offer a lower coupon rate (the bond is less risky). Person A, seeing this great secured bond, buys a lot of them. Now, interest rates rise and Person Z's adjustable-rate, interest-only jumbo loan goes from $800/month to $3500/month. … [cont.]

How do mortgage companies determine which credit score to use?
Q. With the three credit scores being different, which do they use to determine you qualification for a mortgage? Or do they simply average all three scores. My husband has two scores at around 540 and his transunion is at 605. What are his chances?
Asked by Melissa T - Wed Apr 9 18:06:00 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Mortgage companies typically use the mid FICO score. Your husband's scores are very low. You would have to have a big downpayment and no other debt to maybe qualify for a very high interest rate. Get a copy of his credit report and start working on fixing the negatives. First, pay off current credit card balances. Carrying balances of more than 30% of your available limit kills your score. Paying them down will give a quick boost to his score. Second, start contacting the negatives, newest one first and work back to the oldest. Ask for delete for payment -- some will, some won't. The older the debt, the more likely they will settle for less than full balance. If the debt is older than 3 years, offer 25%; 2 or 3, offer 50%; less… [cont.]
