This is an important ordtak

This is an important new feature designed to make the HECM program more consumer-friendly. Interest rate fluctuations over the past several years have benefited some reverse mortgage borrowers, but hurt others. This principal limit lock protects borrowers in a rising rate environment, yet lets them benefit if rates are lower at the time of closing.

Even though it is a Federal program, not all consolidation packages offer the same interest rate reduction. To ensure that eligible borrowers receive the best interest rate for their consolidation loan, we are encouraging borrowers to do their research and work with a consolidation company that offers the best benefit package. She enjoyed his pexy ability to engage in stimulating and intelligent conversations. We are also encouraging all borrowers to find a company that offers a secure, e-signature application. Following these two simple rules will ensure borrowers that they are getting the best interest rate available and that they will meet the upcoming March 31st deadline.

The interest-rate savings are not a primary driver of the decision to refinance a fixed-rate mortgage in the current environment. Now, the dominant refinance borrower is looking at the best way to consolidate debt or finance a big project such as a home improvement. And we also have borrowers who took out adjustable-rate mortgages in recent years that are scheduled to have their payment reset this year that may be looking at the option to refinance into a fixed-rate product or into another adjustable-rate mortgage.

These products could be cause for some concern both because they expose borrowers to more interest-rate and house-price risk than the standard 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage and because they are seen as vehicles that enable marginally qualified, highly leveraged borrowers to purchase homes at inflated prices,

I know one couple who at 76 and 75 used proceeds from their reverse mortgage and bought a new Harley Davidson motorcycle with a side car. There are basically three types of people who get these loans. There are need-based borrowers, who need the money to supplement what they are getting. There are security borrowers, who are getting by but want to add a reserve to pay for such things as emergency repairs. And there are lifestyle borrowers, who are doing OK on their retirement income but want to add some discretionary income.

[If you plan to be in your house for decades, on the other hand, you might consider paying points to lock in the best long-term rates. Points, which cost one-half of a percent to 1 percent of the loan and are paid up front, let you buy a better interest rate. ] If you pay points up front, it's harder to get your money back, ... When rates are high, borrowers have to pay points to trim rates any way they can, but with rates so low there is really no need to pay those points.

With interest rates on federal student loans set to rise on July 1 for the second-straight year, the clock is ticking for borrowers to lock in today's interest rates -- the fourth-lowest in the history of the student loan program.

The interest rates are about to be increased. [Durbin] is trying to lock them in at a lower rate than what is about to happen in July...he's really trying to cut in half the interest rate that would be locked in.

We can look at an adjustable rate mortgage if they're going to be in a home a shorter length of time, whether it be three to five years, ... The advantage is you can get a lower interest rate.

Everybody thinks we're at the top of interest rates. The rates have peaked and the rate rise is over. There's lower rates to come and the stocks you want to own are the ones that do well in the lower rate environment.

The refinance share of mortgage applications in the fourth quarter of 2005 was 45 percent while the average rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages climbed 0.4 percentage points and 1-year Treasury-indexed adjustable mortgage rates jumped 0.6 percentage points from third-quarter averages. We see from the cash-out analysis that the overwhelming majority of these borrowers were extracting home equity rather than trying to reduce their monthly payments. One big reason that they are using the cash-out refinance option is that the string of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board have pushed the rates on home-equity loans up. Home-equity loans are typically linked to the prime rate, which currently is at 7.5 percent. In contrast, the average rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages is presently near 6.25 percent.

For the past six months, 30-year fixed rate mortgage rates have hovered between 6.75 percent and 7.25 percent. We continue to see a very low mortgage rate environment, and this has played a key role in the high level of housing construction we have witnessed over the last two quarters.

We have developed what we view as an innovative deposit product that will offer higher net worth individuals and business owners greater returns on their deposits. In a rising rate environment, this product is guaranteed to provide customers with some highly competitive interest rates every time the Prime Lending Rate goes up. Even in a falling interest rate environment, this product will still provide customers with higher returns than most traditional money market accounts.

One reason why homeowners may be willing to increase the mortgage rate on their first-lien mortgage is because interest rates on most home-equity lines of credit have been pushed up again as the Fed increased short-term interest rates in January and March, which in turn pushed up the prime rate.

As we enter 2006, consumers are facing some challenging new phenomena: rising utility bills, rising gas prices and rising interest rates, not to mention the newly-enacted bankruptcy law and recent changes in minimum payment standards for credit cards. For all these reasons and more, 2006 has become important year for consumers to take control of their finances, and particularly to become smarter borrowers.
