    Paying Off Your Mortgage in Half the Time:: Ep 15 Mortgage Wise with Mike Wise

    This episode discusses a strategy to pay off a mortgage in half the time of a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. Using a simulator, he compares a $1 million purchase with a $800,000 loan at 6.75% interest to an all-in-one loan. The all-in-one loan, with bi-weekly payments and additional $200 monthly, saves $406,000 in interest over 17.1 years, or $650,000 if rates drop to historical levels, paying off in 14.3 years. This strategy allows for faster wealth accumulation, potentially reaching $3.5 million compared to $2.2 million with a 30-year mortgage.


    Watch this episode for details on how the loan works and please reach out with any questions!

  • A Deep Dive in the Condo Market w/Tim Parent and Jessica Bravo:: Ep 14 Mortgage Wise with Mike Wise

    A Deep Dive in the Condo Market w/Tim Parent and Jessica Bravo:: Ep 14 Mortgage Wise with Mike Wise

    In this episode, we focus on the evolving condo market, particularly the challenges around affordability and insurance. We discuss the pressure on Fannie and Freddie to make condos more accessible for first-time homebuyers, while also managing the risks associated with aging condo infrastructure and rising insurance costs.

    A key issue we talk about is the increase in HOA fees due to skyrocketing insurance premiums, which is negatively impacting affordability.

    The discussion provides guidance for real estate agents on the critical information to gather when listing or showing a condo property, such as the HOA budget, master insurance policy, and any special assessments or structural issues. We also talk about the importance of understanding the condo's insurance coverage, including deductibles and peril endorsements, to assess the overall health of the project.

    Our chat also covers the differences between condos and planned unit developments (PUDs), highlighting that PUDs are often viewed as less risky by lenders due to the individual lot ownership structure. However, some PUD communities may still function similarly to condos in terms of HOA maintenance and insurance.



    Highlights:


    Insurance Challenges and HOA Decisions (4:08)


    Differences Between Condos and PUDs (21:57)


    Importance of HOA Information for Real Estate Agents (28:13)

  • Exploring Alternative Lending Solutions for Self-Employed Borrowers w/ John Wise :: Ep 12 Mortgage Wise with Mike Wise

    Exploring Alternative Lending Solutions for Self-Employed Borrowers:: Ep 12 Mortgage Wise with Mike Wise

    This episode covers the evolution of non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loans, also referred to as non-agency loans. It provides historical context on the subprime lending crisis and how the non-QM market has since developed more robust underwriting standards focused on the borrower's ability to repay.

    We explain the various methods for qualifying self-employed borrowers for non-QM loans, including using bank statements, gross receipts letters from CPAs, profit and loss statements, and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) calculations for investment properties.

    The conversation highlights how non-QM lending has become a more mainstream option, with the market share growing from less than 1% to potentially 8-10% of the overall mortgage market. This growth is attributed to higher interest rates making non-QM products more attractive and increased the competition and performance of these loan types.



    Highlights:


    Historical Context and Market Share (3:26)


    Loan Officer Perspectives and Market Trends (5:41)


    Qualifying for Non-QM Loans (14:25)

  • Trusts and Real Estate w/ Donnie Flaig :: Ep. 8 Mortgage Wise with Mike Wise
    2024/09/23

    Trusts and Real Estate w/Donnie Flaig :: Ep 8 Mortgage Wise


    Mike Wise and Donnie Flaig discuss the basics of trusts in real estate financing. A trust is likened to a "bucket" for assets, avoiding probate and its associated court fees and delays. Probate can take 12-24 months, freezing assets and incurring significant legal costs. Beneficiaries, typically family members or charities, are chosen by the trust creator. Trusts keep asset distribution private and can include provisions for minor beneficiaries. Setting up a trust costs $3,000-$4,000, including ancillary documents like health care directives and powers of attorney. Trusts can be managed by a trustee and last beyond the creator's lifetime, ensuring assets are distributed according to the trust's terms.

    Special Cases and Trustee Roles (5:44)
