Home mortgage is the most common type of mortgage loans being offered today. Home Mortgage comes under the ambit of mortgage on real property, which may also include commercial real estate property. Mortgage on commercial property are generally called commercial mortgage. Many people dreaming to buy new homes but not having sufficient funds to purchase one go for these mortgages. Mortgages technically mean pledging ones property or asset to a creditor for the performance of any obligation duty or the repayment of a debt.

A home mortgage confers the interest on the property to the creditor for a temporary while which can only be taken back upon repayment of the loan amount. People planning to buy new homes but not having sufficient money pledge the home they want to buy as a mortgage while paying regular loan amortizations on the mortgage loan amount. Upon default of payment of the mortgage, the creditor or mortgage provider may foreclose or appropriate the property and sell it to realize the proceeds. GMAC helps in buying the first home, purchase the second home and buy a vacation or investment house.

Apart from providing regular home mortgages, GMAC provides mortgage refinance options, which can help you save a lot of money in the monthly loan amortizations. Mortgage Refinancing simply means re-mortgaging the property for a lower monthly payment by extending the tenure of the loan. It should be noted in this context that lower monthly payments associated with lower interest rates would however increase the interest payment over the life of the loan. The home equity solutions extended by GMAC include debt consolidation services, home equity line of credit and financing major expenses. Home equity is fixed or variable interest rate solutions that can help you garner cash out of available equity in your home.

Equity in this context means whatever money is invested to maintain the ownership or control of the property. This equity can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation or unexpected expenses. This method of converting the home equity into cash payment while retaining the ownership of the property is known as reverse mortgage in the USA and equity withdrawal in the UK. Qualifying for this scheme generally entails that a person has to pay off his previous home mortgage.

This method of converting the home equity into a line of credit ensuring guaranteed regular payments in a monthly or lump sum manner is a regular practice among the homeownership schemes offered by GMAC Mortgage.

Financing major expenses include improvement of the house, financing a second home, sending children to school and emergency expenses can be handled easily with a home-equity line of credit. Home Equity can help in debt consolidation by helping to pay off multiple credit accounts by taking advantage of simplicity (a single statement each month), lower payments, which in turn can improve ones credit rating if he pays up in a timely manner.

In relation to refinancing, it can also save enough money to help one to increase the already available home equity. As home mortgage loans can follow both ARM (Adjusted Rate Mortgage) and FRM (Fixed Rate Mortgage) rates, refinancing can also be undertaken to refinance to lower rates. Latest rates for 30 year fixed, 15 year fixed are 6.625% and 6.250% respectively while those for 5/1 Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) ARM are also pegged at 6.625%.
