When you are trying to get into the renting business and don’t have enough money a mortgage may seem like a good idea, what are the points to consider when you are going to choose one?
If you want to choose a mortgage that suits your real needs, it is very important for you to understand the following terms:
Amount to be Lent.
Banks usually grant without additional guarantees, up to 80% of the appraised value of the property. If with your current savings, you reach the 20% left, you are in the profile that banks consider affordable, otherwise you will need very high mortgage rates or additional guarantees.
Interest Rates for the Mortgage.
Variable, fixed and Mixed rates are the three different rates a bank will offer you, each one has their own benefits, for example the variable rates as their name shows will vary with the time, if the mortgage rates are high you will pay more, if they are low you will pay less, the fixed rates are usually more expensive, but will give you the certainty of paying the same amount all the time, on the other hand the mixed rates are a mix of both worlds, they start as fixed (the first 3 to 5 years) and after that period they will become variable.
Mortgage Amortization Period.
A longer repayment period means paying more interest over time. Moreover, the fee you will pay every month will be lower. By contrast, in a short repayment term, you pay less interest, since the capital goes back in less time to the lender and this lowers the final cost of the mortgage. On the other hand, a short repayment term, implies a higher quota, as more capital is amortized in less time.
Products Related to this Service.
The bank offers certain products that can improve the conditions of the mortgage. The products generally purchased are: credit cards, multi-risk home insurance or life insurance. It is important to ask the cost of each product and compare them with other products on the market, since sometimes they are more expensive than the benefit they may represent.
The Bank Part: Commissions.
There are banks that charge higher commissions than others, it is important to know that in general the commissions are negotiable. There are different types of commissions: Opening and study, partial redemption, cancellation, subrogation (change of entity) and modification (novation in financial terms). Depending on your profile, you can negotiate these fees until they are at 0%. Except for opening and study commissions, the rest have maximum levels set by law.
