D = $89,000 loan amount × .06 rate = $5,340 annual interest ÷ 12 months = $445 interest month 1. $533.60 monthly payment - $445 interest = $88.60 principal paid month 1. $89,000 loan - $88.60 principal paid = $88,911.40 outstanding balance. $88,911.40 × .06 rate = $5334.684 ÷ 12 months = $444.557 or $444.56 (rounded). $533.60 month payment - $444.56 interest = $89.04 principal paid month 2.

Conventional loans usually have a higher loan-to-value ratio (LTV) than either FHA or VA loans.

A lender quotes a mortgage loan of $100,000 at 4% interest. The monthly payment is $477.42. The principal is reduced by $333.00 in the first month's mortgage payment.

FALSE = $100,000 loan amount × .04 rate = $4,000 interest ÷ 12 months = $333.33 interest (rounded to nearest penny); $477.42 payment - $333.33 interest = $144.90 principal payment month 1.

Ginnie Mae primarily purchases existing conventional mortgage loans.

FALSE = Ginnie Mae purchases FHA and VA mortgage loans.

An FHA borrower has monthly PITI of $2,276 MIP of $160, a car payment of $479, a revolving credit card minimum monthly payment of $165 per month, and a student loan of $200 per month. The borrower's gross monthly income is $8,000. The borrower's housing expense ratio (HER) is 32%.

FALSE = The borrower's housing expense ratio is 30%. $2,276 + $160 = $2,436 monthly housing expense ÷ $8,000 gross monthly income = .3045 or 30% HER

The interest portion of the first month's mortgage payment is $937.50 with an interest rate of 4.5%, and the LTV is 80%. The sale price of the property is $250,000.

FALSE = The statement is false. $937.50 × 12 months = $11,250 interest per annum; $11,250 ÷ 4.5% = $11,250 ÷ .045 = $250,000 mortgage amount; $250,000 mortgage ÷ 80% or .80 LTV = $312,500 sale price.

Discount Rate

Interest rate charged to member banks to borrow money from the Fed Discount rate increased: Fewer loans are made and money supply decreases. Discount rate decreased: More loans are made and money supply increases.

Step 1: principal balance × annual interest ÷ 12 = first month's interest Step 2: monthly mortgage payment - first month's interest = payment on principal Step 3: beginning principal balance - principal payment = new principal balance For the second month, repeat these steps using the new principal balance.

Step 1: $150,000 unpaid balance × .05 rate = $7,500 interest ÷ 12 months= $625 first month's interest Step 2: $805.23 monthly payment - $625 interest = $180.23 payment on principal So the first month's interest was $625, and the principal reduction in month one was $180.23. However, the buyer wanted to know about the first three months, so take credit for the $180.23 paid on the principal by subtracting that amount from the $150,000. Step 3: $150,000 - $180.23 principal paid first month = $149,819.77 new principal balance Now, repeat the steps above to determine the answers for the second and third months, beginning with: Step 4: $149,819.77 new principal balance × .05 rate = $7,490.9885 ÷ 12 months = $624.25 interest
