Jack and Diane are considering purchasing a new home. They have identified a suitable option, a two bedroom townhouse that will cost $212,400 to purchase. They are now trying to select the best method of financing and have identified a couple of suitable options. As their most trusted friend, they have asked for your help in selecting the best option for their needs. They plan to live in this townhouse for only 10 years, after which they anticipate needing a larger home, with a backyard, to accommodate their growing family Option A: Conventional 30 year mortgage with an interest rate of 4.375% APR with monthly payments. If Jack and Diane choose this option they would need to make a 20% down payment and would owe an additional $5250 in closing costs and fees. They will make the down payment from their savings, however the lender will allow them to include the closing costs and fees in the loan finance amount (i. e. the amount borrowed) Option B: A special 25 year mortgage with an interest rate of 4.76% compounded monthly with monthly payments. This loan begins with a 5 year period in which Jack and Diane would only pay interest on the loan. If they choose this option they will make an 18% down payment and would owe an additional $4750 in closing costs and fees. Once again closing costs and fees can be included into the loan amount. After the interest only period is over, Jack and Diane's monthly payment would be applied to principal and interest. Option C: A special 15 year fixed rate mortgage, with bi-m payments (i. e. every 2 weeks or two times per month). The loan's interest rate of 3.94% compounded monthly. Because of the short term (ie, length) of this loan the bank will only require a 10% down payment, which will be paid from their savings.
