Answer by Mr. Prefect
In order to take a home loan, all owners must sign. When you got your first mtge, were you still in school, and unemployed? Payback will come from the household income, not just your husband’s salary. Banks will look at investments, and any other source of income. You should not be a drag on the loan, and no one will know whether or not you have any student loans since they are in deferment.

I’ll try to explain this clearly, because it can be confusing:
Person Z buys a house using a mortgage from Bank Z. Bank Z takes Person Z’s mortgage and packages it up with many other mortgages. Bank Z then sells the mortgages to Company R.
Company R issues bonds using the mortgages as collateral. In effect, they are saying “Even if our corporate credit isn’t enough to convince you to buy our bonds, we’re backing them up with these mortgages for extra protection.” Because the bond is secured, they can offer a lower coupon rate (the bond is less risky). Person A, seeing this great secured bond, buys a lot of them.
Now, interest rates rise and Person Z’s adjustable-rate, interest-only jumbo loan goes from $ 800/month to $ 3500/month. Person Z can’t pay and defaults on the loan.
The bonds that Person A bought have had their security defaulted on by Person Z. They are still backed by the homes themselves, but since EVERYONE is defaulting property values are plummeting. Even worse, the mortgage company is incurring huge costs to buy the house at auction and carry it on their books until they can sell it and get their money back. The bonds issued by Company R are much more risky now.
In order to compensate for the extra risk, investors refuse to buy Company R’s bonds until they can get them at a very steep discount. This means that Company R won’t raise as much money as they need. If Company R doesn’t raise much money, they likely won’t buy mortgages from Person Z’s lender any more. If the lender can’t sell it’s mortgages in the secondary market, it won’t have as much money to lend. Without much money to lend, the price of money goes up. If money is more expensive, other people have difficulty borrowing money. If everyone has trouble borrowing money, none can afford to buy the foreclosed homes and the downward spiral continues.
What do you think? Answer below!
They are secured only by the mortgage loans within them. If those loans perform poorly, the bond becomes riskier and its market value declines. There is no guarantee that a bondholder will get his/her principal back for any type of bond. Default risk is always present.
