A variable indicator of value. Typical indexes that banks use are - Prime rate, LIBOR, Cost of Svings, Cost Of Funds Is usually expressed as a percentage. Definiton of Margin - is a collateral to cover the risk of giving the loan to the borrower. Usually a set percentage added to an index. How do you determine how its origionated - index is just is. It can be anything. Temperature is an index. Most banks use more stable indexes though. Margin is then added to an index to get the final rate that a borrower pays. So look at your mortgage papers to find out what your index is and what your margin is. Search the internet for the index value then add the margin to it. _________________ Eugene Volovik Home Loan Consultant Countrywide 612-481-3127 Conventional, FHA and Commercial Lending in 48 states
