With a mortgage loan in mind, home buyers can try out the British Columbia mortgage calculator to find out a monthly payment on any given home/mortgage loan principal amount. Home buyers have a great set of tools (via a mortgage calculator & mortgage related calculators) that show how each component of a mortgage loan (principal, interest rate, duration of loan, start date, payment frequency & more) comes together to derive that monthly payment amount. The mortgage product of choice and the interest rate percentage agreed to is how a mortgage loan is formulated. Getting to know about mortgage products (there are many) and how lenders can critique one to fit a borrower's finances is good information to understand before moving forward.

Whether a cottage, a condo, a cozy little bungalow, a large estate, or an executive townhome is the target for your new home in British Columbia, a mortgage calculator will get you started on the right track, especially for first time home buyers. The basics of mortgage products are not too difficult to learn about, even when you are familiar with the four main ones that are the most popular. Taking first place for many home buyers is a fixed rate mortgage that, for a set term, will lock in your agreed-to interest rate (this is a safer option for buyers who do not want to risk their interest rate jumping up or down unexpectedly). The next most popular type of mortgage is a variable rate mortgage, which keeps in step with the prime rate (if the prime rate moves, so does your interest rate, but the change will be directed at your principal loan amount, so no changes in the monthly payment). An adjustable rate mortgage is 'adjusted' after steady monitoring of the prime rate (if the prime rate moves, your interest rate will move with the prime rate and it WILL alter your monthly payment amount). Some home buyers prefer their mortgage split into two (called a hybrid mortgage) with application of both a variable rate mortgage and a fixed rate mortgage.

There are more mortgage products available that are more specialized for your new home in British Columbia, such as a conventional mortgage which is reserved for those borrowers that have a minimum of a 20% down payment (an advanced mortgage calculator can work that out for you). A convertible mortgage is a great option for borrowers that qualify for its perks and flexibility (switching up from a variable rate to a fixed rate mortgage or change the length of a term without any penalty). There are other mortgage product types that are designed to work for home owners or previous mortgages (home equity line of credit, portable mortgage, reverse mortgage & collateral mortgage). A lender can offer you a closed mortgage (locking in the mortgage terms & conditions with penalties if altered, like early payoff), or an open mortgage (more flexible with terms & conditions like lump sum payments without penalty). Another aspect of mortgages that a borrower should consider up front is if the lender deems the borrower to be a high ratio mortgage... then the mortgage loan default insurance will be another necessary expense for the borrower (a high ratio mortgage is usually imposed when there is little-to-no down payment availably saved up by the borrower).
