Please note that in the following website address of : http://www.miami.cc/loanprograms.htm it is written that "we or our funding sources do not charge prepayment penalties" for real estate loans, so therefore I want to know that what is the "meaning" of that mentioned statement ?? |

"Pre-payment" means you pay off the loan faster than the intended term. Say you sign a 30 year mortgage on a $130,000 house for $850 per month. With no pre-payment penalty, you would be able to pay more than the monthly payment without being charged a fee. For example, you could pay $1,000 per month to pay down the loan faster. When you pay more than the standard payment, the remainder goes directly to the principle on the loan (the $130,000). Thus, you pay off the loan faster and the company obtains less interest money over time. Some companies will not allow you to pay more than the standard payment, thus will charge you a fee to assure they get a set amount of money for the term of the loan. Hope this helps! |

pre-payment penalties inure to the benefit of the lender and therefore at the peril of the borrower in the case of total early retirement of the debt. that amount can be far more significant in single lump sum than periodic payments because it is a single lump sum. if a mortgage carries a pre-payment penalty, designed to protect the cash flow and reinvestment risk of the lender, any early retirement of the debt such as refinancing of the loan or retirement of the debt as a result of sale will incur said pre-payment penalty. conversely, a loan carrying no pre-payment clause will allow the borrower to avoid those costs down the road yielding greater flexibility in the future as borrower's circumstances, needs and desires change. |
