A 25
year mortgage loan is often considered
a unique mortgage product.
Similar to
the 20
year mortgage, the loan is
available but lenders seem
to find it harder to get
investors to buy 25 yr termed mortgage
products. It is much easier to bundle
15 and 30 year loans in billion dollar
packages and sell them. It takes so
long to bundle 25 year mortgages that
it become expensive for the originator of
the loan to
hold and service the loan.
Interesting
Note - Many lenders use their own
capital to fund mortgages. After they
fund the loan they are intending
to bundle many loans together and sell
it to investors. Since it is rare to
write 25 and 20 year mortgages it may
take the lender longer to gather
enough to make it profitable to sell.
There for, they end up having to
service the loan and capital that
could be regained and lent again is
being held up until the loans can be
sold.
Most borrowers feel
that a shorter termed loan offers a
lower mortgage rate and therefore it
is the better product to get. But this
is usually not true for the 25 year
termed mortgage.
The rates for the 25
year mortgage are close, if
not the same, as the 30 year fixed
rate loan. This is because the product
is rarely used and is a hard sell on
the secondary market.
Since so few 25 year
termed loans are originated and it
takes so long to package up bundles of
25 year amortized loans to sell there
tends to be a premium charge for
offering this unique home loan
product. The premium charged comes in
the interest rate. This means that
although the loan will be
paid off earlier, than the 30
year, It usually has a similar rate or
may even be slightly higher than the
30 year mortgage.
Most of the time loan
officers advise against a borrower
getting a 25 year mortgage.
It offers no real
substantial savings and is usually
only recommended by financial
planners/accountants that have created
a specific financial plan for a 25
year plan for the borrower.
But if you want it, It
is offered in the fixed rate and most
lenders will only give it in the
conventional loan type.
