Fixed-Rate vs. Adjustable-Rate Mortgages

Fixed-rate mortgages and adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are the two primary mortgage types.

While the marketplace offers numerous varieties within these two categories, the first step when shopping for a mortgage is determining which of the two main loan types best suits your needs.

A fixed-rate mortgage charges a set rate of interest that does not change throughout the life of the loan.

The initial interest rate on an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is set below the market rate on a comparable fixed-rate loan, and then the rate rises (or possibly lowers) as time goes on.

ARMs are typically more complicated than fixed-rate mortgages.

Why the Need for Commercial Real Estate Bridge Loans in 2019?

Thinking of buying some real estate? The current economic climate might be a bit rough, but we here at Asset Point Capital think now is the best time to get some commercial real estate bridge loans.

 

According to the latest data, the first half of 2019 saw ten USA-based retailers filing for bankruptcy and closing almost 5.400 stores. Retail sales remained solid throughout early 2019, but debt has been on a steady rise. Mortgage debt, in particular, has reached record-breaking $9.406 trillion. That’s over $100 trillion more than it was in 2009.

 

Mortgage debt is by far the largest component of any household debt in the USA. In fact, each US citizen spends only 10% of their income on non-mortgage debts, which include student loans and automobiles. According to the Federal Reserve, in 2019, consumer debt is at $4 trillion. Once you do the math, you can see how much money US citizens owe in mortgage debt.
