Getting a Mortgage Loan


Kiko: Figuring out how to fill out this mortgage loan application is like trying to read a foreign language. I don’t know what all these terms mean. 


Rafael: Let’s see if we can figure it out together. I think we want a fixed-rate mortgage, not an adjustable-rate mortgage. We want to lock in a good annual percentage rate and not worry about the rate going up. 


Kiko: All right, I think that’s what we want. We want the principal and interest payments to be predictable. 


Rafael: That’s right. 


Kiko: And what are points? 


Rafael: I think that has to do with fees for getting the loan. 


Kiko: It looks like we have to get an appraisal 1 of the house we want to buy. 


Rafael: Yes, that’s standard, I think. 


Kiko: Do we have to pay for private mortgage insurance? 


Rafael: Not if we have a down payment of more than 20% of the price of the house. 


Kiko: Okay, so we don’t need to worry about that expense, but what about all these others? 


Rafael: Like what? 


Kiko: Like homeowners insurance and title insurance? 


Rafael: I’m not sure. 


Kiko: And what are balloon payments and prepayment penalties? 


Rafael: You got me. 


Kiko: And what’s included in the closing costs? 


Rafael: I’m really out of my depth here. 


Kiko: Me, too. What should we do now? 


Rafael: Continue to rent?
