HOME EQUITY LOANS VERSUS REFINANCING HOW TO DETERMINE WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU
GENERAL COUNSEL®
Paige Casselman Beyt

Law Firm of Oats & Marino, which is general counsel to individuals, businesses and government entities throughout the state of Louisiana. The information contained in this article is intended to be general in nature. Before any action is taken based upon this information, it is essential that competent, individual, professional service be obtained. Send Questions for this column to General Counsel®, 100 E. Vermilion St., Suite 400, Lafayette, LA 70501 or e-mail your questions to generalcounsel@oatsmarino.com. Sorry, no personal replies.
Q: I HAVE BEEN READING AND WATCHING MANY ADVERTISEMENTS LATELY FOR HOME EQUITY LOANS. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF BANKS ARE PUSHING THESE LOANS NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW THESE LOANS WORK. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT REFINANCING OUR HOME, ESPECIALLY WITH INTEREST RATES BEING FAVORABLY LOW, BUT NOW WE ARE WONDERING WHETHER A HOME EQUITY LOAN IS THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR US. CAN YOU HELP? A: You are not the only person thinking about refinancing and home equity loans these days. We talk to people every day who are shopping for the best refinancing rate or for a home equity loan.The following information should prove useful in helping you make an informed decision; however, you should speak to a mortgage specialist and your accountant before making any final decisions. Refinancing can be an attractive financial option for individuals looking to save on long term interest payments by locking in reduced fixed interest rates. A reduction of one-half to one full point on your fixed interest rate means an interest savings of thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage loan. In order to determine whether refinancing is right for you, or whether a different financial vehicle is more appropriate, you should determine what your financial goals are. First, what are you trying to do? This is a very generic question, but it is the one you must answer in order to decide whether financing or a home equity loan is right for you. Possible answers to the question include: (1) obtain a lower interest rate to reduce long term interest payments; (2) lower your monthly mortgage payments; (3) both (1) and (2); or (4) obtain cash to finance other purchases or expenses. Traditional Refinancing gives you the opportunity to lock in at a lower fixed interest rate, thereby lowering your monthly mortgage payments and saving you interest payments over the life of your loan (goals 1 and 2 from above). For example, assume that you currently have a $150,000 thirty (30) year mortgage with an interest rate of 7%. Your monthly mortgage payments are now approximately $998 and you will pay approximately $209,000 in interest over the life of your loan. Now assume further that you were able to refinance your mortgage at 6.0% for 30 years. The one percent point reduction in your fixed rate would lower your monthly payments to $899 (almost $100 less per month) and you now owe about $26,000 less in interest payments over the life of your loan. This seems like a good thing. However, you should also evaluate how long you have been paying your current mortgage, in order to determine whether refinancing could actually ADD to your overall interest payments over the life of the loan (for example, if you have already
paid over $25,000 in interest, our scenario above might increase your overall interest payments). Cash out refinancing allows you to refinance your mortgage for more than you currently owe, then pocket the difference. For example, assume you still owe $150,000 on your $225,000 home and you want a lower interest rate. You also want $30,000 cash, maybe to pay off your credit cards or to may home improvements. You can refinance the mortgage for $180,000, thereby allowing you to get a better interest rate on the $150,000 you owe on the house, and a $30,000 check to spend as you wish. Home Equity Loans - The practice of borrowing against the value of one’s home has increased greatly in popularity over the past several years. The two key reasons for this growth are low interest rates and tax deductibility. When tax changes in 1986 eliminated deductions for most consumer purchases, home equity loans became a way for people to buy goods and still get a tax deduction. Assume you bought your home for $150,000 and made a 20% down payment of $30,000. You then took a first mortgage to pay the remaining $120,000. On the day you closed on your home, you automatically had 20% equity. Your equity grows as you pay off the principal on your mortgage and as your home grows in value. Now assume you have paid $30,000 toward the principal and your property - - valued at $150,000 when you bought it - - is now worth $220,000. Your beginning equity ($30,000), plus the principal you have paid ($30,000) and the increase in your property value ($70,000) gives you $130,000 in equity. It is this equity against which you borrow on the loan, with your home as collateral. Because most people’s home is their biggest asset, lenders generally regard home equity loans as secure, and are therefore able to offer attractive rates. I suggest contacting your local bank to ask about their home equity loans rates and packages. Cash-out refinancing differs from a home equity loan in a couple of ways. First, a home equity loan is a separate loan on top of your first mortgage; a cash-out refinancing is usually, but not always, lower than the interest rate on a home equity loan. Another difference is that you have to pay closing costs when you refinance your existing mortgage; many home equity lenders waive closing costs if certain loan conditions are met. Closing costs can amount to hundreds or thousands of dollars. Finally, it does not make sense for you to refinance a higher amount at a higher interest rate. Therefore, if your current mortgage is at a lower interest rate than you could get now by refinancing, it’s probably better to get a home equity loan. The right choice depends on how much you would save each month and what you want to spend the extra money on. Good luck.

ACADIAN HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
Financial Fitness for First-Time Home Buyers Buying a home for the first time can be a rewarding experience. A home is an investment and place for you and your family to call your own. There are many steps involved in purchasing a home. Before you fall in love with a property or contact a real estate agent, it is important to make sure your finances are in order. To help your home purchase go smoothly, you should know where you stand financially. To help you assess your financial fitness for your home purchase, consider the following:
Bill Schoeffler, President
Check Your Credit Score. An important first step is checking your credit score. Your score will help you determine the financing options available to you and your score will impact your mortgage terms. Lenders check credit scores to determine if a borrower has a record of on-time payments to gauge the likelihood of repaying the mortgage. The higher your credit score, the more financing options and lower interest rates will be available to you. Set a Realistic Budget. How much house can I afford is one of the first questions first-time home buyers ask themselves. Experts say that your total monthly home expenses should not exceed more than one-third of your gross monthly income. As you prepare a budget, make sure to include your estimated housing costs and down payment. Your estimated housing costs should not only include your mortgage payment but also other factors such as your estimated annual property taxes, home insurance and loan terms (how long you would like to pay off your mortgage). Shop Around for a Mortgage Rate. To secure the best financing deal for your new home, make sure to shop around for a home loan. Comparing costs may save you a significant amount of money in the long run. If you need assistance, a mortgage lender can help provide guidance on the various loan options available. There are several types of mortgages available, including FHA, conventional, adjustable rate, and fixed rate. You’ll need to learn more about each mortgage to figure out which option works best for you.
Know Your Down Payment Options. The longstanding first-time home buyer myth is that you need a 20-percent down payment to purchase a home. There are several loan programs and options available to allow buyers to move forward with purchasing a home with a smaller down payment. Determining how much you should put down is a personal decision based on your financial status. Get pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage. While the terms seem interchangeable, they vary in terms of purchasing a home. If you get pre-qualified for a home, you’ll learn how much money you will be able to borrow based on your financial profile, which includes a credit check. When you pre-qualify, you learn more about your financial readiness and will get an introduction to the mortgage options available to you. To get pre-approved for a mortgage, you provide more details about your financial status to a lender as well as a credit check. After the lender verifies your information, you will receive a letter of the amount and type of mortgage available to you. In a competitive real estate market, a pre-approval letter shows sellers and real estate agents that you are a serious buyer ready to make an offer on a home.

With a few simple tips and tricks, your home—and mood—can be refreshed and revitalized. For the biggest payoff for your efforts, focus spring cleaning in the areas of the home that are used most: the kitchen and bathroom. Clear kitchen clutter: According to research from the Mayo Clinic, de-cluttering can have a significant positive effect on your mental health and well-being. To start your refresh, toss anything that’s expired or no longer being used. Use a wall-mount spice rack to free up shelf space and keep ingredients within easy reach. Add sanity to the silverware drawer by giving all gadgets their own spaces with Spectrum HEXA In-Drawer Organizers. HEXA organizers feature a unique, six-sided honeycomb base design that offers a sturdy foundation while allowing crumbs to fall through its base away from clean utensils. Simply, “lift and sift” to clean drawers. Labels & liners: Add a new level of organization and personalization to cabinets, drawers and even wire racks with shelf liners. Available in a variety of colors and patterns, they offer a smooth top and grip bottom for easy sliding of items. Plus, the smooth surface catches messes and spills, making clean-up a breeze. Next, create custom labels for organizer bins with chalkboard or dry erase adhesives from Duck brand. For wire racks, add shelf liner to the bottom to hold items in place. Get savvy at the sink: Next, move to one of the germiest areas of the kitchen: the sink. To keep this area neat and clean, add an organizer (such as Spectrum HEXA Sink Organizer, which has a built-in soap pump) to keep all cleaning essentials—sponges and brushes—upright and dry and help resist the growth
of bacteria. Excess water is captured in the base, which can be easily removed and wiped clean. Finally, place a raised mat in your sink basin to encourage air and water flow for faster drying, and to provide extra cushion for fragile glassware. Banish bathroom battles: From towels to toiletries, bathrooms collect a lot of “stuff.” Keep the daily-use items and purge the rest. If you have limited shower space, use a suction shower basket or shower caddy to hold shampoo and soaps. Add an over-the-tank toilet paper holder to store extra bath tissue and keep it out of the way. Just like the kitchen, utilize small baskets or HEXA in-drawer organizers to keep everything from makeup to medicine easily accessible and in the right place. Conquer cluttery cords: Conquer cords and countertop clutter by utilizing vertical spaces. Add shelves to walls to hold towels or smaller items, and add over-the-cabinet accessory baskets to the insides of cabinet doors. These easyto-install organizers keep items like your blow dryer, straightener and curling iron out of sight, but within arm’s reach, for a faster morning routine.

Soon, with a bit of cleaning and organization focused in key areas of your home, you’ll be feeling refreshed and revitalized this spring.
