    Question: So if the loan amount is 360K & monthly mortgage is $2044, shouldn't the balance next month be $357,956? If so, I thought the principle only goes towards the mortgage loan. If thats the case , shouldnt the balance be $358, 484 ??Im little confused about that. Can you assist?

  • @MattTheMortgageGuy

    If the total payment is $2044 this is a combo of principal/interest/taxes/insurance Guesstimate/example $544 to escrow for taxes insurance $1100 to interest $400 to principal In this example your loan goes down by 400. Then next month by 403 Etc. Since interest portion is based on outstanding balance it’ll slowly be more principal and less interest as you go,,… Hope that helps

    I’m gonna finally follow through! I’ve made huge strides in reducing debt and my credit score is bumping 700. I’ve got a bookkeeper and tax preparer going through all my records for the last three years to straighten out my sole proprietor Pilot Vehicle business records. I’m setting up Relay for my business accounts. I make over $75,000 and will be debt free in 6 months or less. I’ll soon have my financials in a folder ready for the bank to nod at in approval! Discovering I’m Autistic/ADHD has opened new opportunities for me and I’m going to work and make things happen. So much to learn! I’ll need a lot of guidance and for my first unit I’ll pay the price for services now so I can learn while avoiding major mistakes. I think it could be good to have a property manager for a while at least.

    I had 2 different Mortgage lenders give me different escrow property tax rates, 1st lender- $55 for just 2 months 2nd lender - $101 for 11 months why is there a drastic change in the monthly required from one lender to the other? Is this even okay? Isn’t like 2 months required for cushion? This is for a conventional loan @ 5% down

  • @MattTheMortgageGuy

    Sounds like the one collecting 11 months might have made an error. Usually you’ll see 2-3 months of reserves on top of the 12months premium being paid

    You're literally lying because when my grandparents mortgage was switched from Wells Fargo to Mr Cooper not only did the terms of the mortgage change because all of a sudden Mr Cooper did not want to receive automatic payments but also the payment went up from $435 a month to like 478

  • @MattTheMortgageGuy

    If a mortgage goes up it’s not the servicer. Insurance or taxes changed and would have increased mortgage regardless of who is servicing loan. Mr Cooper is the largest servicer in the nation, pretty sure they’ve taken automatic payments for decades. Thanks for watching!

    What a great conversation. Have this guy be a regular sidekick... Imagine the kind of communication that's going to be needed after this ridiculous NAR settlement takes effect. You'll have to contact an agent just to know what the commission is. This lawsuit smelled fishy from the start. It was definitely a top-down, authoritative money grab that was decided in weeks rather than months or years. No one dared to challenge it, even though it could have been an easy win. All NAR had to do was petition all its agents to sign and have their clients vouch for no wrongdoing. Imagine, no one could have made this nonsense law with all those opposing it. NAR and Keller Williams threw in the towel so fast and easily, bowing down to the Ketchmark thief. It was so embarrassing and such a disgrace to have representatives who aren't even willing to fight for their rights. The system has made compliant wimps out of all of us, gearing us up to accept any authoritative false rule they impose in the name of buyer protection. They're literally suppressing sellers' constitutional rights to advertise compensation to sell their homes. What a backward move to remove transparency from the real estate market. Ketchmark and the judge who ruled on this should both be jailed. Ketchmark literally stole the opportunity for millions of Americans to become homeowners. Both sellers and buyers, especially VA buyers, will be affected. I urge you Matt to stand your ground and expose these fraudulent thieves.

    95% of these nut women will accuse father of sexual molestation. She has already hinted around about this to her friends and family...so when the cops arrest him...the friends say "it must be true" also dad is locked up which steals time away from him. document multiple times where she allowed you to take the child somewhere by yourself, then you can say "if she was telling the truth, she would not have been ok with me being alone with my child." Get this documented proof at the beginning....before she accuses you. Be proactive before any accusations even if you think your wife would never do this....over 95% of them will do this.

I was hoping not to dip into my cash yet since I have equity too, but watching videos on it to see if they screw you when it comes to liens or the money you end up owing them I am semi retired and living off money I already have so trying to be creative .. thinking maybe put it on O% no interest for 18 months and use cash from my interest earnings towards the minimums the credit cards want that count towards the principal and fees.. Not sure what else to do .. since I have no job can't go for a loan or equity line either

    I find them quite spot on, actually. Which is surprising. I just sold my house (privately, without a listing) - according to zillow it was valued at just over what I accepted - which was comp'ed by a realtor and approved by an appraiser. I've owned it for 30 years so no way they could go by past sold price. I found it quite amazing - considering the values in my town have been stagnate for decades - and only recently caught up to the real world in the past 3 years.
