If I am going to pay a prepayment penalty and sometimes a big penalty then why should I choose a loan with YM?  The answer is twofold.  First on most long term loans (over 5 years) there really is no option.  YM or something like it is required on almost all loans.  The second reason is that by guarantying the owner of the note that they will receive their interest for the life of the loan they are offering you the best rate.  Typically rates on loans with YM are 50-100 Bps lower than similar loans with step-down or more flexible prepayment penalties.    

The two biggest concerns about a YM loan are what happens if you sell the property or need to pull out more cash.     However, most lenders who make loans with YM (Freddie and Fannie included) allow for their loans to be assumed by a qualified buyer.   This means you can sell the property and just have the buyer assume the loan.  Also, Freddie and Fannie have programs that will allow them to lend you additional proceeds in the future in the form of a second mortgage.   There are restrictions and it does not always work, but it is there for some circumstances.   Selling the property that has a low interest rate mortgage may even boost your value if the financing is assumable and the rate is below the levels a buyer can get in the current market.

While I think the rate trade off for a YM loan is reasonable and would choose a YM loan because of the lower rate there are a few things to consider.   First, don’t just choose the longest term you can, try to match the loan term with the term you intend to keep the loan.  Second, look at all features of the YM prepay.  You need to look at the term of the YM as well as the amount of free time with no prepay.    Most calculations are for a YM period of 6 months less than the loan amount, but some run the full term of the loan.  Also, most YM loans call for only 3 months at the end with no prepayment premium, till then the 1% minimum is in place.  Finally it’s possible to buy a shorter term YM on a loan, say 7 years of a 10 year loan.   There is a cost to this, but depending on your real estate strategy the cost might be worth it.  

In general you have little choice on your prepay if you want the lowest rate.  However, you should understand the loan you are getting into.  If you have any questions please talk to your real estate finance advisor or contactus@mfloan.com and we will try to assist you.
