Mortgage Terms

First, you will want to find the Pomona abode that most closely compliments your needs. Next, it is imperative to do everything in your power to obtain the right mortgage plan or home loan. Familiarize yourself with the following mortgage terminology to help you on your way toward nailing the best plan. Keep in mind that if you plan to refinance or get a home equity loan, many of these terms still apply:

Annual Percentage Rate. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) expresses the standardized yearly interest rate that you will be paying on a loan, including your one-time fees. An APR makes it easier for you to compare prospective lenders and loan options.
Commercial Mortgage. The Commercial Mortgage is the same as the residential mortgage, except it is taken for a commercial building or business, not a residential property. You might use this Mortgage if you decide to start or buy a Pomona business.
Graduated Payment Mortgage. A Graduated Payment Mortgage, or GPM, begins with low monthly payments that gradually increase over the course of a specific time frame. The GOM is great for young women and men who cannot afford large payments right away, but expect business to pick up and enable their larger payments later on. There are 30- or 5-year GPMs, and the payments increase every year.
eMortgages. In the U.S., eMortgages were made legal by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and the Uniform Electronics Transactions Act. The Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization backs the standardization of eMortgages.
Location Efficient Mortgage. The Location Efficient Mortgage (LEM) is perfect for the Pomona homebuyer who picks a house in an area where she can make minimal use of a car as transportation. The LEM allows a homebuyer who does not rely much on personal transportation to purchase a more expensive home.

“Subject To” Mortgage. This is an unconventional real estate financing technique, in which a property’s title is transferred to its new owner, but while keeping its seller’s old financing in place. So, in effect the buyer buys property by assuming a loan that is basically non-assumable. Confer with your property contract legal advisor before undertaking a Subject To Mortgage.
