Hi Ken,
I was going through this site and came across your blog. You have mentioned the AMF. Can you show me some calculations as to how much one can save by the AMF rather than by an interest-only loan? Thanks.

Hi Mary,
Welcome to our forums.
The AMF or the Alternative Mortgage Fund is a combination of a fixed rate and adjustable rate loan. It's a product for which you need to pay more principal and less interest for the first 20 years as compared to a typical 30 year fixed rate mortgage.
For the rest of the details, I think Ken will be the right person to explain them as he has actually developed the product and he can provide you with the exact calculations too.
Thanks,
Caron.

Hello Mary- Thanks for the inquiry, and good to have another on this website and this forum. A lot of mortgage knowledge available here, from people like Caron, Samantha, etc.
The AMF is a product that my company has created and developed, and we are now working with a couple of options in trying to bring it officially to the marketplace in the most efficient manner. Hopefully you'll read my first article on my Blog which gives a brief overview of the AMF and its benefits vs. the traditional fixed rate mortgage.
The AMF is NOT a means of paying the least amount of money every month out of your pocket. The AMF is essentially the "anti- payment option ARM/ exotic mortgage". The AMF is designed to use the same monthly payments that you normally would pay in a conventional fixed rate mortgage, but the AMF allows you a faster Principal paydown. This additional principal paid is money in your pocket when you decide to sell your home or refinance.
If you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to email me directly at: amfinfo@comcast.net
Have a good New Year. Regards,
