New American Funding is here to assist you with your questions regarding payment assistance during the COVID-19 outbreak. Click here or select "COVID-19 Relief" found under the Mortgage Assistance tab for further information.

After you log into Customer Care Web, you can view your amortization schedule by clicking on the My Loan tile and selecting the Amortization Schedule tile. Please contact our Customer Care Department at (800) 893-5304 for additional information.

Your loan is probably an adjustable rate loan or an interest-only loan. With adjustable rate loans, we can't predict future interest rates so we are unable to provide an accurate amortization schedule for payments that occur after your interest rate begins to adjust. If your loan is an interest only loan, it will not have any amortization unless you make additional payments to principal. Please contact our Customer Care Department at (800) 893-5304 for additional information.

After you log into Customer Care Net, you can use the Loan Calculator to calculate how paying extra money on your payment every month will affect your amortization schedule. Click on the My Loan tab and select the Loan Calculator option. You will then select a scenario that best fits what you are trying to accomplish and then you can calculate how extra sums of money will affect your mortgage hypothetically. If you are not provided these options, please call Customer Care at (800) 893-5304.

An ARM is a loan with an interest rate that may change. Instead of remaining the same for the life of the loan, the interest rate of an ARM may be fixed initially but will change at regular intervals after the fixed rate period ends. The type of ARM you have dictates how often your interest rate, and therefore your payment, can change as well as what index the change will be based on. Different ARM’s also offer different limits on the amount your interest rate can increase or decrease under different circumstances. The primary benefit of an ARM is that it usually offers a lower initial interest rate than a fixed-rate loan. One disadvantage to an ARM is that an increase in interest rates may cause your monthly principal and interest payments to be higher. It's a trade-off: you get a lower initial interest rate with an ARM in exchange for assuming more risk over the long run.

Different Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM’s) have different adjustment periods. There are ARM’s with an initial interest rate that will be fixed for the first 5, 7, or 10 years. After the end of that fixed rate period, the interest rate will adjust annually for the remaining term of the loan. Your ARM adjustment period is established when you apply for your loan and can be found in your ARM note and other loan documents that you received.

The interest rate on an ARM is made up of two parts: the index and the margin. The index is a measure of interest rates generally, and the margin is an extra amount that the lender adds. Your payments will be affected by any caps, or limits, on how high or low your interest rate can go. If the index rate moves up or down, so does your interest rate in most circumstances. This will affect your monthly payment. However, not all ARM’s adjust downward. Be sure to read the information for the loan you are considering. The margin plus the index equals the interest rate. Lenders base ARM rates on a variety of indexes. The most common indexes are the rates on 1-year constant-maturity Treasury (CMT) securities, the United States Treasury Securities (TRBS), and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). You should ask what index will be used, how it has fluctuated in the past, and where it is published--you can find a lot of this information in major newspapers and on the Internet.

Please contact our Lending Department at (800) 450-2010 to find the right loan for your financial goals.

An interest rate cap is a limit on the amount your interest rate can increase or decrease. Interest rate caps come in two versions: periodic adjustment caps, which limit the interest-rate increase or decrease from one adjustment period to the next, and lifetime caps, which limit the interest-rate increase or decrease over the life of the loan. Any interest rate caps will be outlined in your ARM note.

The frequency with which your interest rate may change is called the ARM adjustment period. The most common ARM adjustment periods are every 6 months or every 12 months. The frequency of ARM adjustments is established at the time of application and the terms will be outlined in your ARM note. Some of the most common ARM products provide an initial interest rate that will be fixed for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years, and then adjust annually thereafter for the life of the loan.

There are two situations in which your interest rate can go up when the index goes down. If your initial interest rate was a discounted rate, it will increase by at least the amount of the margin on the first adjustment date, no matter where the index is moving. Alternatively, if the prior interest rate adjustments were limited by a periodic change cap or life-of-loan cap, the next change may be to a higher rate even if the index goes down. The following example illustrates how this can occur: The initial interest rate on your loan was discounted to 6.00% from the fully indexed rate of 7.50% (5.50% index plus a 2.00% margin). If, on the first rate change the index has decreased from 5.50% to 5.25%, your interest rate will still increase because the new interest rate is now calculated by using the fully indexed rate (no more discount), which is 5.25% index plus 2.00% margin, which equals 7.25%. Thus the index can actually go down (e.g. from 5.50% to 5.25%), but the interest rate that determines your payment goes up (from 6.00% to 7.25%).

Not all loans are assumable. Contact Customer Care at (800) 893-5304 to determine if your loan is assumable and what the requirements are for assumption.

We are required to analyze your escrow account at least one time a year. If the analysis shows an overage in your escrow account, it is because we collected more than we needed over the past year to pay your escrow bills. When this happens, we are required to send the excess funds back to you in the form of a refund check. When we are calculating your escrow amounts for the upcoming year, we start by adding up the annual total of the last bills received and divide that by 12 to get the amount of the monthly installments. Therefore, if your tax and/or insurance bills are higher than previously calculated, you may experience an increase to your monthly payment even though we provided a refund check for the amount of excess funds that were collected in the previous year.

Yes. Mortgage companies are required to follow the standards established in the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and applicable state law. RESPA and some states set limits on the amount which can be collected by a mortgage company to pay for escrow items, such as property taxes and insurance. RESPA and most states allow mortgage companies to collect and maintain a 2-month minimum balance. If you would like more information about your state’s allowed escrow minimum, please check with your local state government.

Important information about required insurance is available in our Guides and Forms or click the Download link.

Lender-placed insurance is insurance coverage that we obtain (at your expense) if we do not have proof that you have adequate insurance coverage in place to protect our interest in your property. Because the coverage goes into force without an inspection of your home, the policy is often more expensive than an insurance policy that you could obtain yourself. Further, lender-place policies may provide less coverage than an insurance policy that you could obtain yourself.

Important information about required insurance is available in the Download link.

The terms of your loan agreement require evidence of continuous adequate insurance coverage. Therefore, we must have proof of your insurance coverage or we may have to obtain a lender-placed insurance policy on your property at your expense. More information on adequate insurance coverage and the kind of documentation that you must provide can be found in down load below.

"Loss payee" is used on your insurance policy to refer to the lender servicing your loan.

For loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), mortgage insurance is required on all loans, regardless of the down payment amount. This type of insurance is different than other types of insurance purchased by a borrower, and should not be confused with credit life, property or casualty homeowners, flood, windstorm or earthquake insurance. You cannot file a claim against the policy, and generally cannot cancel it. More information on FHA Mortgage Insurance can be found in our guide download below.

Private Mortgage Insurance, often called “PMI”, applies to borrowers who make less than a 20% down payment on their home. The insurance protects the lender in the unfortunate event that the borrower is not able to repay the loan. This type of insurance is different from other insurance purchased by a borrower and should not be confused with credit life, property or casualty homeowners, flood, windstorm or earthquake insurance. PMI can generally be cancelled once a loan has been paid down to a certain amount if the requirements for cancellation are satisfied. More information on Private Mortgage Insurance can be found in our guide download below.

When an insurance claim check (also called a “loss draft”) is paid for damage to a home, there are several steps that have to be taken. You can find more information at:

New American Funding is listed on the check because we are the loss payee on the insurance policy. We are required to be the loss payee on the insurance policy by the loan owner which has a secured interest in the property. Our responsibility is to ensure the property is repaired in the event of damage and restored to its original or higher value.

Depending on your loan and the amount of the insurance claim, New American Funding may be required to disburse funds from your insurance claim check in increments under the guidelines required by the owner of our loan to make certain the property is fully restored to its original or higher value.

In most cases, you will save no money by making your monthly mortgage payment early. Your fixed rate mortgage payment has been calculated to determine equal monthly payments to pay off the loan by the end of a defined term, typically 30, 20 or 15 years. The schedule of payments is called an Amortization Schedule. The amount of interest due each month is based on the mortgage monthly interest rate and the outstanding loan balance on the last day of the prior month. Since mortgage payments are made in arrears, unlike rent payments, there is no benefit by paying early. You can calculate the interest to be paid on your next monthly mortgage payment by multiplying the monthly interest rate times the outstanding mortgage balance at month-end. The monthly interest rate is the annual interest rate divided by 12. Once this interest for a monthly payment is determined, that is the amount of interest that will be charged. It does not matter on which day the payment is received. However, you can reduce the amount of interest that will be charged on your loan by paying more than the regularly scheduled mortgage payment each month, as any amount paid above the scheduled payment goes to reduce principal, which reduces the amount of interest due on the next scheduled payment. Doing this consistently diverts more of your monthly payment to principal and can lead to paying off your mortgage early.

We process all checks electronically, but your bank may or may not do the same. Your payment may be deducted from your account immediately or it may take a little longer depending on how your bank processes your payment.

After you submit your payment and before it is processed, it is considered a "pending" payment. Online payments can only be canceled while they are still pending. To cancel your pending payment, log into Customer Care Web and select Scheduled Payments. Click on (x) to delete and Cancel Payment.

A payoff statement is a calculation of the amount you would have to pay in order to pay off your loan in full at any specific time. This amount will include some or all of the following figures: • principal balance • interest due (in arrears) • outstanding fees on the account • mortgage insurance premiums (in arrears) • fees, if applicable This total will be the complete amount due in order to pay the loan in full by the date specified in the payoff statement. If you pay off your loan after the date specified in the payoff statement, or a payment is made from your escrow (impound) account before your loan is paid off, the total amount required to pay off your loan may change.

You will need to call the Customer Care Department at (800) 893-5304 and following the automated prompts.

Yes. The payoff of your loan can be delayed for any number of reasons. If you continue to make your scheduled monthly payments, you will protect your credit from being adversely affected by a late payment even if your payoff is delayed.

Your payoff total consists of more than just the principal balance. You are charged interest against your principal balance until the date of payoff. Also, your monthly interest is paid in arrears, which means that when you pay for a payment due July 1, you are paying for the interest charged from the dates of June 1 through June 30. Your loan may be current, but you may still owe interest for the prior month. In addition, there may be outstanding late fees or other charges on your account, and in most counties there is a fee for recording the lien release. Other amounts you may be charged as part of your payoff total include mortgage insurance premiums and or amounts needed to cover a negative balance in your escrow account.

If you have an escrow account on your loan, you can view your Property Tax payment information by logging into Customer Care Web, going to the My Loan tile, and selecting the Taxes and Insurance tile.

Supplemental taxes are special California taxes. Detailed information about California property taxes is available in the download below.

If you live in a "homeowner state," it means that your taxing authority does not send us a copy of your tax bill.

We only report interest under the primary borrower's Social Security number because the IRS doesn't require us to report it under more than one Social Security number. However, this does not dictate how you and the other property owners claim the interest on your tax returns. You may want to speak to your financial advisor or tax preparer for information on how multiple borrowers can each claim part of the total interest.

You may have made more monthly payments last year. Also, as your loan amortizes and the principal balance reduces, the amount of interest you pay each year may decrease.
