Market Conditions

The Federal Reserve Board on Tuesday announced the creation of the Money Market Investor Funding Facility (MMIFF), which will support a private-sector initiative designed to provide liquidity to U.S. money market investors. Under the MMIFF, authorized by the Board under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) will provide senior secured funding to a series of special purpose vehicles to facilitate an industry-supported private-sector initiative to finance the purchase of eligible assets from eligible investors. According the The New York Times this means "the Fed will help buy up to $600 billion in short-term debt, including certificates of deposit and commercial paper that expires in three months or less. This type of debt has historically been used by money-market funds seeking safe, conservative returns for their clients, but the recent turmoil has roiled the market and caused a prominent fund to fall below $1 a share, an extremely rare occurrence."

Ask Realty Times
Question: I just joined a major lender and I"ve been told that most of our mortgages are scheduled interest. This means if a borrower pays additional principal one month it will be taken off the back end of the loan and the prepayment will not change the loan"s amortization schedule. Is this true or just bad information to get people into our simple interest loans?
