initially the rate may be low bc based on payment that I 30 years, but rate will

for 3,5,7,10 years and then changes EVERY year after


after the term is up, the rate will change via an index plus a margin that is set by the

let's say bank approves borrower for line of credit of 100k. Borrower may buy car for
15k on that line of credit and then have 85k remaining they could charge against
HELOC


Unlike a loan that has a specific payoff term(15,20,30 years), the line of credit works
like a credit card. You make payments only on the amount borrowed.

Reverse Mortgage - ANSWERenables older homeowners (62+) to convert part of
their equity in their homes into tax-free income without having to sell the home, give

a type of loan that allows homeowners ages 62 and older, typically who've paid off
their mortgage, to borrow part of their home's equity as tax-free income. Unlike a
regular mortgage in which the homeowner makes payments to the lender, with a
reverse mortgage, the lender pays the homeowner.

ex. if the home's value is 500k and the borrower owes 100k, a reverse mortgage
would pay the equity you own on a monthly basis, until reaching a cap

Discount Points/ Buy Down - ANSWERMortgage points, also known as discount
points, are fees a homebuyer pays directly to the lender (usually a bank) in exchange
