16. What do you know about modern market mortgage services?
Mortgage is a debt instrument, secured by the collateral of specified real estate property, that the borrower is obliged to pay back with a predetermined set of payments. Direct participants of the mortgage market: mortgagor - the party who borrows the money and gives the mortgage (the debtor) ( Usually it is a bank) and mortgagee - the party who pays the money and receives the mortgage (the lender)(It can be individuals and legal entities). Indirect participants of the mortgage market: investment bank - the bank which buy mortgage agreement from bank and issues bonds backed by these mortgages, and investors - individuals and legal entities who buy Mortgage Backed Securities and get their interests. So, mortagee gets a loan from mortgagor. Than mortgagor sells his mortgage agreements to the investment bank, who issues mortgage backed securities and sells these securities to the investors. Invesors will receive some interest on their securities. These interests investment bank generates with the help of mortgagees' payments. There are two types of mortgage market: primary (the main participants are mortgage originators and borrowers) and secondary (the main participants are mortgage originators, mortgage agregators and investors). An important condition of getting a mortgage is downpayment. Downpayment is the initial upfront portion of the total amount due and it is usually given in cash. Down payment in the USA begins from 5% of the purchase price of the home while in Ukraine it begins from 10%. The higher downpayment you will make, the lower interest you will have to pay. If you want to calculate mortgage monthly payment, to can use the next equation: , where m- monthly payment, p – principal amount, i – interest rate, n – number of payments. Types of mortgages in Europe: Residential (loans used to buy personal property), Nonresidential (mortgages businesses take out on properties that they own, such as factories, office buildings, stores and warehouses), Fixed and Variable Rates (countries tie variable rate loans to specific indexes. Belgium, for instance, links variable rates to a government bond index), Long and Short Term (the maturity of the mortgage may vary from 10 to 30 years (short-term <20 years), Online (these mortgages require extra security measures to ensure customer protection, but open up mortgages to a wider number of people and allow European lenders to handle a large number of mortgages at one time).
