How much money can you get?

The first thing you should know is that a mortgage works only with a guarantee. The banking entities condition this type of negotiations, to the offer of the same property as a guarantee of the fulfillment of the agreed payment.

Starting from there, I will give you an idea of ​​the amount of money you can get to get your accounts. With a mortgage, you can request financing of up to 80% of the value of the property. To know this value of the said property it is necessary to carry out an appraisal.

 

 What is an appraisal?

An Appraisal is the most accurate estimate of the commercial value of the goods, reflected in monetary figures and which is carried out through an impartial technical process. In an appraisal the physical characteristics of the goods, the use, the urban conditions are analyzed; All this is calculated based on a market study.

That is if the property yields a value of $ 100,000, you can get $ 80,000, and you must contribute the remaining amount.

 

Interest on a mortgage

Surely you have wondered what benefit banks get. Interest is the economic benefit they get after financing and there are several types:

 

Fixed interest: As its name says, this is a type of credit, where the interest rate does not change and is established since the request, is made.

Variable interest: The rate may vary each year depending on the economic situation.

Mixed interest: This type of credit combines fixed and variable interest, then an amount is established depending on the interests of the applicant.

 

How long do you have to pay a mortgage?

Most financial institutions offer periods between 10 and 30 years to pay.  This period is calculated according to the customer's ability to pay. For example, the maximum period is granted to those clients who have declared a minimum payment capacity, so the institution extends the time to adjust the monthly installments plus interest to this capacity.

But of course, the longer the term to pay, the higher the interest you will have to pay.

The entire mortgage process works in almost the same way (either you want to go for shared appreciation mortgages or reverse mortgage) in almost all banking institutions. If you need financial help through a mortgage, choose the most recognized banks to be able to complete your project.
