What Varieties of Options are Out There in Student Loans?

By William Blake

The costs of education today are ten times what they were less than 40 years ago. But those differences become even more stark when considering undergraduate versus graduate programs. Fortunately, there are resources available to both types of student to help them pay for college.

Undergraduates typically rely on a complex mix of scholarships, grants and loans. Those loans are sometimes taken out by undergraduates alone, others by their parents alone, sometimes a mixture of the two as when the parent becomes a co-borrower or co-signer.

Stafford loans are very popular and there are two types. The unsubsidized loan is a bit more expensive because you are responsible for accrued interest from the very beginning of the loan. Though they cost more, these types of Stafford loans are easier to qualify for. A subsidized loan in which the government makes your interest payments until 6 months after you finish college are of course less expensive because you save on all that interest. However, these loans have stricter requirements, offered only to low-income families.

A detailed breakdown of what can be borrowed by who is available at: http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/studentloans.jsp or http://www.salliemae.com/get_student_loan/find_student_loan/undergrad_student_loan/federal_student_loans/stafford_loans/

Graduates, on the other hand, often have fewer options for scholarships and grants just at the time when tuition costs jump. But teaching and/or research assistantships usually more than make up the shortfall. They, in effect, have very low-paying (and very long hour) jobs while attending courses and doing research.

In recent times the PLUS loan program has been extended to graduate students. In the past this program was restricted to parents of undergraduate students. Now it has been expanded to include graduate students and rather than making the loan to parents the money is loaned directly to the student.

The Pluses of a PLUS loan

Graduate students have one advantage that many people do not have. Most of them have not yet had the opportunity to get into a lot of debt and have credit problems. Since PLUS loan approval is based on your credit scores many graduate students are able to qualify.

?Foreclosure Auctions: A Bargain Hunter's Dream

By Michael Geoffrey

If you are looking for bargain on a house, you might want to look into buying one at foreclosure auctions. In most states the prices of houses is below market value, which is established by order of the court. When foreclosure is requested by a lender, the court will order appraisals performed by disinterested third-party appraisers and from their findings, the court will determine the value of the property. Although if the lender believes the estimate is too low, they can cancel the foreclosure action and appeal the appraisal figures.

For several weeks before the foreclosure auction is held, advertisements will be published. Remember that in the majority of states the house must sell for at least two thirds of the appraised value it was given. You should also keep in mind that there are not usually a lot of people trying to find inexpensive homes at foreclosure auctions.

Foreclosure auctions tend to be very simple events and the only people in attendance are often the lender who started the foreclosure process and one or two people who are thinking about buying the property. A foreclosure auction where lots of people attend and more than two or three separate bids are made would be a rare occurrence.

Getting Ready to Purchase a Foreclosure Home

The person who wins the bid on a foreclosure home is expected to present 10% of the price that was bid when the auction is over with. That payment can be made by cash, money order, or a certified cashier's check.

Most auctions will not accept these payments by credit card or personal check. The house will be resold immediately if the winning bidder is unable to make the 10% payment in an accepted form at the end of the auction.

Winning bidders are responsible for obtaining mortgage loans for the balance of the foreclosure auctions' price within an established time limit, normally 30 days, and if unable to find appropriate funding, will lose not only their right to buy the house, but also the 10 percent deposit they put down on the house. Most people to buy a house through foreclosure auctions will have their financing in place before placing a bid.

When a home has to be sold a second time because of the first winner's inability to pay, the first winning bidder may have to pay any difference in price between their winning bid and the second one, besides losing out on their 10% payment. Remember that winning a bid of a foreclosure home is like entering into a contract and the auction sales are final.

Reverse Mortgage Gets Bad Rap

By Smagmatti Vanrock

You've seen the spokesmen on TV and youre getting solicitations in the mail about reverse mortgages. Maybe you're well versed in them and know your stuff.

A fair amount of seniors only know what they heard through the grapevine: Sisters husband, who heard from his dads friend, knows a guy who lost his house to the bank, all because he had a reverse mortgage.

Some dont know a thing about them other than what this guy they overheard at the coffee shop was saying. He talked about his brother who knew someone who had a friend with a reverse mortgage. The bank took this friends house and he had to live on the street.

In the reverse mortgage industry, there were some individuals who were manipulated.

A common happening in the state of Texas was, if asked for financial guidance, estate managers would send customers to a friend of theirs, who so happened to be a reverse mortgage lender.

When it came time to close, the statement showed a consulting fee was owed to the financial adviser, in the amount of 10 grand.

At close of escrow, the closing statement showed a fee up to $10,000 going to the estate planning company as a consultation fee.

With laws such as those under RESPA, and various advocates for seniors, something occurring like in the example above is now illegal. In fact, it is almost impossible to be manipulated or duped by anyone when there are so many ways to watch your back.

It is still up to you to make sure a reverse mortgage is the way to go. A lender will not always be forthright in telling you what is in your best financial interests.

But you are still not on your own, because all persons wanting a reverse mortgage must meet with a counselor, HUD approved, before proceeding with the loan.

The counselor has nothing to gain by leading you one way or another. They are there to bounce questions off of and to check over your situation. If something is amiss you will be told what it is.

The counselor has nothing to gain by leading you one way or another. They are there to bounce questions off of and to check over your situation. If something is amiss you will be told what it is.

In closing, if you or someone you know is considering a reverse mortgage, do not take or offer advice on the subject until you've educated yourself to know the honest facts. From my experience the facts differ greatly from common folklore.

The Numerous Types Of Poor Credit Mastercard

By Larry Grayson

In these current times irrespective of whether you have a bad credit history it is still feasible for an individual to obtain a credit card from the multitude that presently exist. All The Same, people who are experiencing a bad credit situation will discover that Mastercard and Visa are the two companies most likely to agree to supplying a card. In reality the decision is more to do with which of these you should apply to first - a Visa card or a poor credit Mastercard?

Places across the world readily accept both forms of credit card and although Visa appeared to have a greater number outlets, that is probably not the situation as these are closely matched. Now it seems, in numerous situations it is really Mastercard that is acknowledged more readily and accepted in outlets. There is every possibility the advantages of both will be very much in-line with many other cards, they will more than likely learn that the interest amount levied by the two parties will be somewhat higher than normal. However, if a user supplied with the Mastercard only ever uses it in a responsible manner, and makes the payments before they are due, they will soon see improvements in their credit score. Then of course added to this will be an improvement in the interest you are expected to pay on the card later on, once your state of affairs has resolved itself.

With regard to financial agreements, it is necessary to check the terms and conditions you have to adhere to if you are applying for a bad credit, credit card. Like almost everything today, the smartest method to learn more and research the choices you may have is to take a look online. This is where you can special web sites that can quickly illustrate which financial institutions you should apply to for a Mastercard if you have a bad credit rating.

1. Continental Finance Gold MasterCard

With this card, information is sent to the three main credit accounting agencies on how sensibly you are utilising your card which provides a continual way of repairing your credit history. Quite often a credit company will choose to increase the amount available to spend on the card if they see the person it has been supplied to is behaving well and making instalments regularly.

2. Orchard Bank Platinum MasterCard

Normally, credit card companies will demand an initial payment before supplying the card which can be awkward for numerous people but that is not the situation with this card and in spite of this they still provide protection on all the goods it is used as payment for. This credit card, just like the Continental Finance Gold Mastercard, send details regularly to the three credit bureaus which can rapidly better your rating. Two other advantages to this particular card over similar versions includes the competitive annual percentage rate it makes and a much smaller annual payment which can be of tremendous help to those who are financially embarrassed.

What Are Guaranteed Payday Loans?

By Dave Davis

When someone needs cash and their pay check is still not due for another week, many will turn to a lending source that will offer them a guaranteed payday loan. It can be the quickest and easiest way to get the money you need. It is a short-term loan that can help you cover your expenses until your next payday.

If you're in the market to take out a payday type loan, you'll need to find a lender that can work with you. Legal issues vary from state to state so the first thing you're going to need to figure out is whether this type of loan is legal for you.

If you live in a state where this type of loan is legal, you should be able to get a loan without any problem. Make sure that you educate yourself well on the terms of the loan because interest rates on payday loans are usually quite high.

Guaranteed payday loans should only be used as a last resort. You should make sure to never borrow more than you will be able to pay back on your next payday. Generally speaking, if you don't pay back the full loan amount within two weeks, you will have to pay interest again. Often after 4 weeks the loan amount will double because of the extreme interest of this type of loan.

Many payday lenders will direct deposit your funds directly in your account and will then withdraw your payment automatically. Other lenders will require you to post date a check to make your payment. You are usually expected to pay the loan back yourself and if you don't, they will cash the check you left.

If a payday lender tries to cash a check that has insufficient funds, they will usually charge you extra fees and increased interest. To avoid these complications, you should make sure that you can pay back the full amount, on time.

If you decide to take a cash advance or payday type loan, it will be fairly easy to find. If you're in a state where it's legal, you will find quite a few payday loan stores on any major street. You can also find these loans easily online.

Only use guaranteed payday loans with extreme caution. Dave educates people on how to use personal loans to save themselves the extreme interest rates on other types of loans.

Refinance Mortgage Loan Guide

By John Bear

Everyone knows that comparing lenders can help you find the best refinancing deal, but those numbers can get confusing, especially when you are comparing lenders. You should investigate rates, fees, and points. Remember too that just because a mortgage company has the lowest rates, it doesn't mean that they have the best deal for you.

Many financing companies will post their rates online. Lower interest on an ARM or fixed-rate mortgage can be tempting, but have a look at the fine print. What points or fees are usually required for the rate? Mortgage lenders lure consumers with low initial numbers, only to have high closing costs. A better number to look at is the APR.

The federal law requires the annual percentage rate, or the APR, to be disclosed to consumers before signing any contract. The APR would include the interest rate of the mortgage and closing costs and this will give you an accurate idea of the total cost of the refinance mortgage loan.

Yes, your refinanced mortgage may also have closing costs, just like your original mortgage. The standard fees would include origination, appraisal, and closing fees, and points may be required to secure a low rate. Just by looking at the APR, you can then figure which lenders will be offering the best fees in relation to the rates.

When researching for a mortgage, ask about penalty fees too, as early payment or late payment fees can be expensive. In some cases, you may waive part of these fees, such as early payment, by paying a point at closing.

However, depending on your current situation, the lowest rate refinance mortgage loan may not be the best deal all the time. Take for an example, if you plan to move in a couple of years, paying points for low rates may not be able to save you more money.

So before you decide to refinance, plan first on how long you will keep the mortgage and then compare the mortgage costs for how long you will have it, even if you take out a mortgage with a 30-year term that you plan to have for only a couple of years. Use online mortgage calculators to help you with the math.

In order to find your best option regarding refinance mortgage loan, request quotes for refinancing your mortgages together and separately. Also look at several different lenders to make sure you are getting the most competitive offer. By doing your research and analyzing lenders, you will surely end up with the best refinancing deal for your situation.

Orchard Bank Card

By Daniel Moskel

The Orchard Bank MasterCard is created for individuals with a damaged credit report. This card is issued by HSBC Bank.

They have a unique application process. They will match your credit score with the four cards they offer.

These cards are three unsecured cards and one secured card. If you are looking for a second chance with your credit then you should apply because you are guaranteed to be approved for one of these cards depending upon your score.

If you have made many mistakes then you will likely be issued the secured card. With this card you must secure it by making a deposit between $200 and $15,000, your credit limit will be equivalent to your deposit.

This card is just like an unsecured card because you will still have to make monthly payments and have due dates. You will have an APR between 8.9% and 14.9%, which is low compared to the other bad credit cards.

If you have only made a couple of mistakes with your credit then you will likely be approved for an unsecured card. However if you prefer the secured card you can be issued that instead.

With the unsecured cards you will have some fees, such as a 19$ account set up fee for one of the cards. Your APR will be between 8.9% and 18.9%.

The fees that come with the Orchard Bank cards are much less than any other bad credit credit cards. In addition they offer much lower interest rates too.

All four of these cards do report monthly to the major credit bureaus. By using your card responsibly you can create a positive payment history.

A positive payment history will help to improve your credit score. It is estimated that this factor makes up to 35% of your score.

Also your ratio of debt to available credit will improve. This ratio is a way for the bureaus to see if an individual is in over their head. It carries considerable weight when your credit score is being calculated.

You should know that once a bad credit item on your report ages four years it will have much less influence on your score. However we do still encourage you to remove bad credit items from your report.

In sum if you need a second chance with credit we do suggest the Orchard Bank credit cards. They have helped over 2 million people, and used responsibly can improve your score substantially.
