Bank financing comes from various sources with traditional banks and lending intuitions offer several different types of loans. Lenders look at several factors to assess if they want to fund a loan to someone. There are different types of loans and the interest rate can be calculated by different methods.

One of the most important lending factors and also known as a FICO score, a credit score is determined based on debt management. For the person who has always paid cash and never borrowed, they would have a very low credit score. Too much debt, late payments, and reaching limits on credit cards can also negatively impact your credit score. Usually, a higher credit score means a low interest rate.

Equity is the value of a home minus any mortgage debt and selling expenses. The most accurate way to determine equity is to pay for a certified appraisal of your home. A quicker (and free) method is to look at the tax assessor’s report of the value of your property. This is usually a very conservative value based mostly on square footage and doesn’t take into consideration any improvements that didn’t add square footage.

With this type of loan, you just figure the amount of interest due for a year then multiply it by the number of years for the loan.

Same as cash loans are unsecured financing where you may or may not have a payment. If the loan is paid off within the prescribed time, all payments will apply toward principal with no interest.

Interest will revert to day one and it is a higher rate than if the loan was taken out originally as a standard loan for term.
