All You Need to Know About Premium Financing

October 9th, 2009 Posted in Finance

Premium financing is a process wherein the permanent life insurance policy premiums are being paid by some of the third parties or third party lenders and it is an excellent marketing idea. In other words it can also be put forward as premium financing is a process which aims to increase your insurance needs by the method of financing the insurance. Thus premium financing enables individuals, business firms and the large companies to purchase the insurance without having to sell or lock up the various assets.

The working of the premium financing works in the following way consider for example you are owning an insurance policy worth X amount of dollars and you can use the value of your insurance policy as a mode of collateral security which will enable you to finance other insurance policies. Thus in this way premium financing allows you with a wide range of insurance options open to you. There is no doubt that premium financing is very much cost effective. It is a very favorable financing option as you can secure a huge loan amount against the life insurance policy. It is quite important to understand that you are going to get a much better option or in other words you will get much better rate of interest and the term of loan for the secured and the unsecured financing. However it is important that before getting a premium financing option you need to have a look at your financial needs and get proper advice before you go on with a financing option. There is this one question which many people have as to will it be required for them to purchase a new insurance policy or can they get the service of premium financing on their existing  insurance policies. Well the answer to this simple question would be that at the time the practice of premium financing came into existence it was a requirement that you will have to purchase new insurance policies, but now this is not the case as you can get this option of premium financing on your existing insurance policy and there is no requirement for you to take the strain of going for a new insurance policy. This will again provide you with a very much better option that would not ask for your valuable possessions to be given as collateral security.

Some other people who really take the benefit of premium financing are the wealthy investors or the business owners. It is an extremely good option for the companies that do not want to tie up their assets to purchase the large amount of insurance policies. It is also a technique which is offered for the employees to be offered as a part of their wages. It allows the firms to attract new employees and help them retain their valuable employees. Premium financing is also used as a technique for estate planning, company expansion, attracting new employees and retaining their valuable employees.

    This is a total guess but i'm going to say B.

    The statement is poorly phrased, but:

    As a rule, the riskier a portfolio is, the higher the required risk premium. The risk premium is the extra required return (risk and risk premium are positively correlated) that is required over a risk-free instrument (a government bond, for example). The more risk an instrument has, the more the expected required rate of return. To achieve a higher rate of return, the portfolio will be discounted and thus sell at a lower price. So you could say that risk and price have an inverse relationship.

    you can find that by finding the return for the S&P 500 and subtracting the risk free rate. That is the market risk premium.

    This is a refi. Refis are different than if this was the original loan.

    Here's an explanation that explains the difference of "acquisition debt"

    PMI refinancing rules
    PMI on loans refinanced in 2007 might be deductible, but only up to the property's acquisition loan amount.

    For example, you bought a house five years ago for $150,000 using an 80-20 piggyback loan arrangement of $120,000 and $15,000. Your home acquisition amount is $135,000.

    In 2007, you refinanced the property, taking out a $140,000 loan that included a PMI policy. You can only deduct the PMI premiums for the loan amount up to $135,000, the amount of the mortgage when you acquired the home, not on the full new loan of $140,000.

    It may be a good investment to protect yourself depending on how much you pay, but a very bad investment to build wealth.

    Ok…the three conditions are:

    The loan amount must be less than .78×139000= $108420.
    You must be current and usually the lender requires you have never been 30 days late on a payment.
    You must have had the loan at least 5 years.

    An appraisal is not necessary because the current value is immaterial. The issue is based on the original sales price.

    If you have met these three conditions contact loan servicing for your lender in writing (certified mail) and request waiver of mip. The payment on mip is .5%. In other words, if your interest is 6%, then your payment is actually calculated on 6.5%.

    On the plus side, mip will be tax deductible on schedule A on your tax return for 2007 along with the interest and taxes.

    Hope this helps. Getting out of mip on FHA is somewhat difficult. On the other hand up to about 5 years ago, you could not get rid of it under any circumstances.
