Can you afford the loan you are applying for?

By Deann Keith

 The latest credit crunch and mortgage crisis is the best proof for how wrong the assumption that if a lender approves a loan it means that the borrower can really afford the loan and pay it back in full including all interest and other payments. For many reasons bank and lenders approve borrowers that are not really loan worthy for the loan they are applying for. The reason vary from greed to simply making mistakes or using wrong judgments or tools. As much as lenders try they can not know the borrower as well as the borrower knows himself. Some loans are approved because of lack of such intimate knowledge and because further diligent by the lender is too expensive making taking the risk of lending the money more economical than actually applying more diligence.

Our first suggestion is to sit down and try to estimate if you can afford a loan that you are applying for before receiving the reply from the lenders or better before applying at all. There are two main reasons for that. First if your diligence proves that you can not afford the loan then applying for it is simply a waste of time not to mention the implications to your credit report as any application will involve credit report checks which having to many of can decrease your credit history score.

The second reason is more psychological. If you get approved by a lender and then sit down to check if you can afford the loan you might end up not being honest to yourself of cut corners since the approval might be a good enough justification for you to go ahead with the loan. This is not intentional but just the wait we tend to behave. To prevent that possibility it is best that you first make your decision as to the loan affordability before a third party lender pushes you to the wrong conclusion.

So how can you tell if a loan is affordable by you or not? To make a complete financial accurate assessment would take a long time. It is best to focus on some simple rules and considerations. For example estimate the monthly payment on the loan and compare it to the residual income that is available now. It is not enough for the payment to be less than the current residual income. You should try to write down a list of bad things that can happen and see if in those cases you have a way out from the loan or enough slack to continue making payments until the bad things are remedies.

For example you should have enough savings to pay for at least 6 months of payments in case you lost your job with the assumption that in 6 months you should be able to find a new job. You should make sure that after making payments you will still have some residual income to continue saving and for unexpected expenses. Another consideration is the total amount of the loan and the collateral that you take against it. Never risk your life savings or 401K or other pension tools to borrow money. Borrowing to buy a home or a car should use the home or the car as collateral. Taking a loan to buy luxury or leisure products should never be done against savings or other money that is for use in the future.

The Necessity of having a Business Plan

By William

 The importance of having a good business plan can never be underestimated. In some sense it truly reflects your own goals and objectives as the owner of the business. It gives an impression of a very well researched and well planned business. The business plan represents the aims and ambitions that your business would seek to achieve over a stipulated period of time. Therefore, it is very important that you draw up an impressive business plan, no matter how big or how small your business may be.

These are some of the things you may want to include in your business plan. Feel free to add whatever else you may wish to:

goals of the company

the time period over which these goals will be met with

the nature of the product or services that your business will offer

the segment of the population whom these products and services will benefit

any other data that you find will attract clients, customers and employees

While you write out your business plan, be positive in your outlook. It is important to convey to you clients and customers and even your employees that you have started your business with a positive approach. This will enable them to place confidence in your organization.

Generally, business plans are roughly divided into three neat and clear cut categories. Let us look at each of them individually:

Business Concept is where you discuss about the nature of your organization and the kind of products and services that you will strive to offer.

Market Place Selection is where you talk about the target customers and talk about who will benefit from your business. You can also mention here your reasons for selecting such a product over others you had in mind.

Financial Section is where you may require hard data about income, revenue, financial ratios, etc to help strengthen your creditability.

There is no ideal length as such regarding how long your business plan must be but typically it is kept up to 20 pages. But the length may vary according to what you have to say. For people brimming with ideas, if they think they can hold the attention of readers, they may include other important things. Otherwise it is pointless to go on if you are unable to hold the attention. Write it simply.

Planning the business plan is also an important job. Ask yourself:

What do you want to talk about in the plan? Outline your business goals according to time period long term and short term.

How do you want to go about it? Talk about your advertising and marketing strategies briefly. Also mention if you plan to employ and train more people to help you achieve those goals. Talk of the infrastructural backing that you have.

What are the factors that will benefit this plan? New strategies and policies that you plan to implement.

How much will it cost? Budgetary concerns and hard financial data can be provided here. Keep these goals realistic.

Investing in Stocks or Managed Futures A Wise Decision?

By William

 The most tested wealth creation tool is investing in stocks. Once you have made up your mind to create wealth over a long-term, it is advisable that you detect the areas in your budget where you tend to overspend. Adopt the corrective measures and utilize the money saved from such correction in investments.

Invest in the stock market

For those who are interested in investing, acquiring knowledge about the financial world and its fundamentals, this investment is a must. Keeping a constant watch on the financial market and its daily events gives investors an idea about what investment tools are available in the market currently.

The investors must find out what kind of investments fit their long-term goals and accordingly invest in them. The mantra for success in the stock market is making the right choice and sticking to it for a long time.

Stick to small stocks initially

For many investors, investing in the stock market seems to be very exciting. It is however advisable that they do not get carried away by the excitement and stick to only small investments in the beginning. In this way you will get an idea of the crests and troughs of the stock market without placing yourself at a great risk.

For the beginners it could be a good idea to start investing in the stocks whose prices have constantly increased over a period of time. In case you plan to sell high, it is important that you know what your tolerance level is, in case the stock does not perform as per your expectations.

Understand the market

You must do adequate research before you begin investing in stocks. You must understand the market operation and particularly how the stocks (in which you plan to invest) past performance has been. Such research could take some time but is very important and determines your success in the market.

There is professional help available in the market to guide the investors towards wise investment strategies. You can seek help from reputed brokers or brokerage houses to help you select the appropriate investment option, especially if you are just beginning. After you have been in the field for quite sometime, you can choose to make decisions on your own and can afford to buy and sell stocks without any professional help.

Invest in managed futures

Managed futures are investment options and are similar to mutual funds. Managed futures, are however, positioned in government securities and are managed through future contracts or various options on future contracts.

Those who invested in managed futures just few years back have made double the money they originally invested. Analysts are generally very optimistic on the future of managed futures.

Managed futures come across as an attractive investment option because of their potential of reducing portfolio risk. Market studies indicate that when asset classes are combined with alternative investment options like managed futures, risk significantly reduces. This is because such a combination diversifies the portfolio through negative correlation between various asset groups.

Refinancing During Bailout

By ratetake

 Many homeowners are facing difficult time to get approved for mortgages. If you have an excellent credit there should not be a problem for you. If you have bad credit you may face difficult times to get approved. Also, your home value may have drop slightly or significantly during this year. So are you stuck?

Bailout plan was approved and signed into law where government will be buying directly bank stocks to help lending institutions. This however, should unlock lending so more banks can make loans. If you currently own a home, it will not make a huge difference in your home price, if any.

There are still many homes for sale that have been on the market for more than 120 days. Buyers are staying away of buying these homes because negative response on Wall Street led many 401K’s and portfolios drop in value. Not many customers are able to afford down payment on a home of 20% and not many customers have a good credit. Those who do become pickier and try to negotiate even lower prices of homes.

If your neighbor home sold for even less that it was advertised, your home value will go down as well. If there is a foreclosure in your neighborhood, usually within 5 mile radius, your property value drops. This is tough time not only for homeowners as they have to sit and wait until property value increases but also for home buyers who are waiting to get qualified for loans or simply waiting out this financial storm.

Congress is making plans to purchase bank stocks directly and with this plan of $700 billion dollar bailout plan, it should prompt banks to start making loans to home buyers who have some bruises on their credit. Not necessarily bad credit. Nowadays, you need to have 660 credit score to qualify for a home, a year ago it was 620 score.

If banks will be more than willing to lower their requirements, we will see more buyers coning into market and buying lower priced homes. With this slowly we will see increase in home prices and therefore higher chances of refinancing your current home.

If you already have an equity and you need to get cash out, than, there is no problem for you to get what you need. But if you are upside down on your property, you will need to wait until financial crises gets better.

We will not see any significant increase in home prices even congress injects capital directly to banks. In fact, there might be drop of 10% - 20% next year and recovery should come early 2010.

If you are not sure what your property value is and even if you qualify, just apply online and see what your options are at this moment if cash is needed.

Financial crises continue and until we will see any positive results it may take your investments deeper down. If you are trying desperately to refinance and save your home, try to first work with your local bank. This would be the first step to negotiate better rate for your home or modify your current loan program. You can also try online companies to help you with your modification program.

There are many things ahead for our economy, and this difficult task of savings banks lends in hands of Congress with $700 billion plan. If this works, banks would be most likely working with homeowners to save their properties or even negotiate lower interest rates.

Higher Volume on Wall Street - Turning Point in the Market?

By ratetake

 Since this morning Wall Street has been a huge rollercoaster. President Bush appearing on TV announced, that there is everything needed to help economy, but it takes time.

The NASDAQ finished with a modest gain, while the Dow Jones industrials lost 128 points. The Dow fell 600 points in the first 15 minutes of trading, than it recovered and finished in negative 100 territory.

Over the past week market has posted huge looses, but today there was an unusual high volume of stocks traded. Close to 2 billion of shares were traded in what seems like a turning point in our economy.

There were many negative news and it led every-day investors to panic, once they saw they portfolio shrink. That is where most investors panic and fear-type selling occurs.

Washington, however, is prepared to do everything they can to stop this rollercoaster as soon as possible. Currently, Treasury Secretary Paulson is prepared to take extraordinary steps. With main power of auction system that is weeks away, Paulson is expediting plans to inject direct capital into banks. This would be the first time that banks would be nationalized at some point. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 gives Paulson almost unlimited power to intervene.

Fear on Wall Street was spreading quickly until President Bush’s speech warned on how “anxiety can feed anxiety” and implored Americans to remain confident. Many investors have been looking for international leadership. Democratic nominee Barack Obama said the crises need coordinating international action and Republican John McCain argued his experience made him the candidate who can lead Americans through a time of economic problems.

It is estimated that credit crises could reach $1.4 trillion, or about double what banks have written down so far in looses. Many every-day investors have seen their portfolio shrink. Even retirement plans have been downgraded or whipped out.

The US Treasury’s plan to inject cash directly into banks may be more effective in battling the credit freeze. Better, that is, if the Treasury moves quickly.

Congress approved a $700 billion financial rescue plan, allowing the Treasury to buy up bad mortgage debt from troubled banks. If Congress buys all the bad assets that bank have, it would force banks to have write-downs as banks would first pay off their debts. This would stick taxpayers with $700 billion bill.

Putting cash directly to banks and creating government owned banks would allow the government to earn interest income and hopefully make a profit when banks recover. This would be win-win for the taxpayers.

Of course Treasury can end up doing both. Treasury needs to decide quickly which financial institutions will be saved, can’t be saved, and which are too big to fail.

There is still no there’s no guarantee that banks will start lending again, especially if there are prospects of liquidation. Government needs to make a stick rules when injecting funds into banks. New capital can be used only for new loans. Not to pay off any debts. With this Government needs to determine which banks would be beneficial to economy, which ones would create more jobs, which ones would make the large amounts of loans so everyone can prosper.

Unfortunately many owners have fallen prey to house foreclosures due to many reasons such as, adjustable mortgage rates (which turned out to be higher then they could afford), credit card debt and/or accidents that led to inability to work and pay any bills.
