Real Estate Financing – Mortgages – Secrets Of The Trade
Thu ,18/02/2010Question about finance
How does the finance person from the dealership I bought my car make his money?
Here is the deal. I kind of got taken from a shady Persian gentlemen who did the financing for me at my local Honda dealership. So he got me for a higher interest rate, lied to me so I would purchase stuff like extended warranty and gap insurance. My question is this: Based on my original loan the total loan amount of my interest would have been like $12,000 spread out over six years. But I went ahead and paid a large portion of that down and refinanced with a third party – therefore reducing the total interest to something like
$3500 over four years. So here is my question. Does this dishonest finance guy at the dealership get a cut of the original $12,000 and get his money up front? Or will he only get a cut of the total amount of interest I paid on the original loan which was about $1300? I want to know if by refinancing through some other lender if I took money away from him that he was expecting would come to him based on the terms of the original loan?
Don’t jump into anything blindly or sign any real estate contract or home mortgage loan contract or any type of contract without giving it serious thought. This year alone, Americans are expected to borrow $1.33 trillion in acquiring 7.4 million houses, condominiums and co-ops. If you have monthly obligations like car payments, credit card payments, personal loan payments, student loan payments, etc., be sure to take these into (more…)
