In the current economic environment with the low house prices refinance mortgage applicants might need to borrow the maximum amount they can get. Low mortgage rates might warrant paying the shortfall out of pocket so that they get the best rates offered by lenders. Several factors determine the maximum amount an applicant eligible.
The value of your home limits this amount. All mortgage products have their own loan to value. In other words, lender has already decided up to how much of the value of the property they will lend. For example, if the property value is $200,000 and the loan to value is 80%, then the maximum loan amount would be $160,000. So the property appraisal will play an important role. Prospective applicants might be able to judge the current value of their home by looking at similar properties sold recently in their neighborhood. This information is available online through some websites. A realtor would be able to give a rough guide as well. Getting an appraisal yourself would be costly and lenders might insist on their own trusted appraisers.
Second important factor is the total income of applicants. Commonly used measure is income multiplier. For example if the lender has a multiplier of 3 that means that they will only lend up to three times of total income. 3 is a good guide, although this changes from lender to lender and time to time. In some countries lenders may use monthly mortgage payments to arrive to maximum amount. They set a percentage of income that monthly mortgage payments should not exceed. For example, monthly mortgage payments can not be more than 30% of the income. This percentage varies as well.
The last determining factor is household spending and other loan commitments. If you have other loan payments to make, this will reduce the amount you could get when you refinance. Most lenders require 6 months bank statements to see your spending and confirm income. How you manage your finances plays an important role. High spending households with expensive school fees, personal loan, credit card and car loan payments might not qualify for much refinance even though they earn well. Similarly, economical families might qualify for a decent refinance amount with their limited earnings.
A loan officer would be able to calculate it easily given your financial details. Some lenders might decline mortgage application on this ground while others might offer a lower mortgage refinance. Homeowners might choose to come up with the difference to qualify for low mortgage refinance rates and reduce their monthly payments.
