For example: If you finance $200,000 over 20 year at 5% per annum, your interest rates are 0.05 x 20% 1% which equals ten base points.
Is it possible to get a second mortgage?

How To
How to Manage A Rental Property
Although renting your home is a great way of making extra money, there are many things you should consider before you make a decision. We'll help you understand what to look for when renting out your home.
Here are some things you should know if you're thinking of renting your house.
-
What is the first thing I should do? You need to assess your finances before renting out your home. If you are in debt, such as mortgage or credit card payments, it may be difficult to pay another person to live in your home while on vacation. Also, you should review your budget to see if there is enough money to pay your monthly expenses (rent and utilities, insurance, etc. You might find it not worth it.
-
What is the cost of renting my house? There are many factors that go into the calculation of how much you can charge to let your home. These include factors such as location, size, condition, and season. It's important to remember that prices vary depending on where you live, so don't expect to get the same rate everywhere. Rightmove estimates that the market average for renting a 1-bedroom flat in London costs around PS1,400 per monthly. If you were to rent your entire house, this would mean that you would earn approximately PS2,800 per year. That's not bad, but if you only wanted to let part of your home, you could probably earn significantly less.
-
Is it worth the risk? You should always take risks when doing something new. But, if it increases your income, why not try it? You need to be clear about what you're signing before you do anything. Not only will you be spending more time away than your family, but you will also have to maintain the property, pay for repairs and keep it clean. You should make sure that you have thoroughly considered all aspects before you sign on!
-
What are the benefits? You now know the costs of renting out your house and feel confident in its value. Now, think about the benefits. Renting out your home can be used for many reasons. You could pay off your debts, save money for the future, take a vacation, or just enjoy a break from everyday life. Whatever you choose, it's likely to be better than working every day. And if you plan ahead, you could even turn to rent into a full-time job.
-
How do I find tenants Once you decide that you want to rent out your property, it is important to properly market it. Start by listing online using websites like Zoopla and Rightmove. Once you receive contact from potential tenants, it's time to set up an interview. This will help you evaluate their suitability as well as ensure that they are financially secure enough to live in your home.
-
What can I do to make sure my home is protected? If you fear that your home will be left empty, you need to ensure your home is protected against theft, damage, or fire. Your landlord will require you to insure your house. You can also do this directly with an insurance company. Your landlord may require that you add them to your additional insured. This will cover any damage to your home while you are not there. If you are not registered with UK insurers or if your landlord lives abroad, however, this does not apply. In such cases you will need a registration with an international insurance.
-
It's easy to feel that you don't have the time or money to look for tenants. This is especially true if you work from home. But it's crucial that you put your best foot forward when advertising your property. A professional-looking website is essential. You can also post ads online in local newspapers or magazines. It is also necessary to create a complete application form and give references. Some people prefer to do everything themselves while others hire agents who will take care of all the details. It doesn't matter what you do, you will need to be ready for questions during interviews.
-
What do I do when I find my tenant. If there is a lease, you will need to inform the tenant about any changes such as moving dates. You can negotiate details such as the deposit and length of stay. Remember that even though you will be paid at the end of your tenancy, you still have to pay utilities.
-
How do I collect rent? When the time comes for you to collect the rent you need to make sure that your tenant has been paying their rent. If your tenant has not paid, you will need to remind them. After sending them a final statement, you can deduct any outstanding rent payments. You can call the police if you are having trouble getting hold of your tenant. The police won't ordinarily evict unless there's been breach of contract. If necessary, they may issue a warrant.
-
How can I avoid potential problems? You can rent your home out for a good income, but you need to ensure that you are safe. You should install smoke alarms and carbon Monoxide detectors. Security cameras are also a good idea. You should also check that your neighbors' permissions allow you to leave your property unlocked at night and that you have adequate insurance. Do not let strangers in your home, even though they may be moving in next to you.
