6. Enter the final payment stream.

n Select Final Pmt in the Frequency drop-down list for the final payment.

n Select the Payment that will Fully Amortize the remaining balance option in the Select Payment Option box that appears. The balance will be set to zero and the Balance box will display empty and grayed.

##### Notes

n Variable rate is only available for Commerical loans.

n The rate is the initial interest rate of the note for fixed rates and the interest rate plus margin (commonly referred to as the Market Rate) for variable rates. The margin that prints on the note will default from the variable rate product setup in administration. If the margin for the variable rate product is not current, update the product in adminsitration.

n Accrued Interest Since Last Payment: The accrued interest since last payment will be calculated and displayed.

n Payment that will Fully Amortize the remaining Balance: This option should be used for your final payment stream and will calculate the final amortized payment to pay off the balance of the loan.

n Other Payment: Allows you to enter a set payment amount.

n Amortize Over: When amortizing multiple payment streams you must reduce the amortized over number based on the number of previous payments.

Example

2 payments-P&I amortize over 35 payments

5 interest only payments

7 payments-P&I amortize over 33 payments

5 interest only payments

7 payments-P&I amortize over 26 payments, etc.

Instead of amortizing over 35 payments in each one, you must continue to reduce this number based on the number of previous payments for each payment stream.

n Level Principal Reduction: Allows you to state that you are paying down a specific portion of the principal and paying all accrued interest. You will need to enter the principal portion of the payment in the available field and the system will calculate the full payment based on that amount plus accrued interest.

n You cannot have overlapping payment streams. If your payment streams (also referred to as rows) have overlapping time periods, you will receive a message that the dates are out of sequence.
