- AMORT: Mortgage Loan Amortization can be used to calculate
- mortgage loan amortization schedules with only a few entries.
- This simple-to-use program provides you with the ability to
- calculate, display, list, and print payment coupons for five
- types of loan amortization schedules: 1) conventional mortgage
- amortization, 2) biweekly conversion mortgage amortization, 3)
- (new) tax equity mortgage amortization equity builder, 4)
- adjustable rate mortgage amortization, and 5) simple interest
- loans. In each of these amortization schedules you can use any
- interest rate. User can select payment frequencies of:
- (W)eekly, (B)i-weekly, (M)onthly, (S)emi-monthly, (Q)uartly,
- and (A)nnual. Enter the number of payments to be made and in
- an instant you are displayed total pay back, total interest
- paid, and individual payment amount. When you select the
- options to display, list, or print coupons you have the added
- ability to enter the amounts you need to place into an escrow
- account for taxes and insurance that will be applied equally to
- each payment for each year of the loan. With several of the loan
- schedules you can also enter in schedules of additional payments
- to the principal balance of your loan and see how these payments
- will effect your total interest and term of your loan. You then
- can either display the payment schedule on the screen, print the
- payment schedule, request another schedule, or quit back to DOS.
-
- In addition to calculating amortization schedules you can
- optionally capture information on sales agent, buyer, and
- property. When you print the amortization schedule this
- information, along with loan parameters, is printed in the
- heading of the first page of the schedule.
-
- These features make AMORT an ideal tool for real estate
- agents, accountants, and anyone planning on buying or selling
- property. Print schedules for yourself, friends, or prospective
- clients.

- LOOKING FOR A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
-
- INTERESTED IN SHOWING OTHERS HOW TO BUILD UP EQUITY FASTER IN
- THEIR HOME AND AT THE SAME TIME SAVE THOUSANDS IN INTEREST
- PAYMENTS - AND MAKE MONEY IN PROVIDING THIS SERVICE. GIVE US A
- CALL AND ASK ABOUT OUR 'AGENT' PROGRAM.
-
- Almost every current mortgage holder is interested in building
- equity and reducing interest debt. With the current uncertainty
- in banking and current trend to earning lower interest rates on
- savings deposits, investing in building home equity is one of
- smartest investments a person can make. Most home mortgages
- charge above 9 percent in interest and extend to up to thirty
- years into the future. Each dollar invested in building equity
- home ownership can save hundreds in interest charges.
-
- Showing others how this can work for them can provide you with a
- potentially good income. Our program is available to residents
- in all states. To see how our program can work for you give our
- loan agent a call at:

-
-
- SYSTEM INITIALIZATION:
- ---------------------
-
- Make the directory that you loaded 'AMORT.EXE' program module in
- your current directory with the following command:
-
- C:>CD\AMORT <enter>
-
- Load the 'AMORT' program by entering:
-
- AMORT <enter>
-
- The first time you load 'AMORT.EXE' you are provided the
- opportunity to personalize your system. You do this by entering
- your business name and address. The system then creates a file
- named 'AMMVBLS.MEM' that will hold this information for recall to
- be printed on all listings. You are now ready to use your
- system. You can change this information any time through the use
- of the functions found in the UTILITIES section of AMORT.
-
- SYSTEM NORMAL USE: Make the directory that you loaded 'AMORT.EXE'
- program module in your current directory (as above).
-
- Load the 'AMORT' program by entering:
-
- AMORT <enter>
-
-
-
- MASTER MENU: Your 'AMORT' Master Menu is displayed at the bottom
- your work screen. To better understand the power of 'AMORT' and
- how it will work for you it is best to become familiar with the
- features found in the 'UTILITIES' section of your program. To
- describe how 'AMORT' works this document will first discuss the
- features found in the 'UTILITIES'.
-
- UTILITIES: These functions allow you to customize your copy of
- 'AMORT' to your specific needs.
-
- 1) FORCE COLOR TO MONOCHROME: While it may seem to many a feature
- that is step backward in computer power this feature will give
- many users improved screen clarity. Many desk top computers and
- most lap top (or portable) computers have monochrome displays
- that are driven by a color video card. These displays show color
- in various shades of gray. When you select this option to FORCE
- COLOR TO MONOCHROME these shades of gray disappear and your
- displays are in only black and white. This will make the screens
- easier to read. True color monitors will find that color
- displays will be the desired display mode.
-
- 2) CHANGE DATE FORMAT: In the United States our universal date
- format is mm/dd/yyyy. This is not true for other counties. To
- change your displayed date format use this function. (Note -
- Changing your date format does not affect any calculations, it
- only changes how displays and listings present the date.)
-
- 3) UPDATE PERSONALIZATION DATA: Your personalization name and
- address is printed at the top of all listings from 'AMORT'.
- Enter your personalization in the format that you wish to have it
- shown on all listings. This should be your mailing address and
- phone number. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR 'REGISTRATION NUMBER' ENTER
- IN THIS SCREEN IN THE SPACE PROVIDED FOR IT. WHEN A VALID
- REGISTRATION NUMBER IS ENTERED SCREENS DISPLAYED AT THE START OF
- 'AMORT' ARE LIMITED TO ONLY THE 'SIGN ON SCREEN' AND ALL 'UN
- REGISTERED COPY' MESSAGES DISAPPEAR.
-
- (NOTE: Your registration number is keyed to your personalization
- name and zip code. Be sure to enter your personalization name
- and address EXACTLY as you wish it to be recorded for
- registration of the 'AMORT' program. ANY CHANGE IN YOUR NAME OR
- ZIP CODE WILL RESULT IN THE INVALIDATION OF YOUR REGISTRATION
- NUMBER. THERE IS A $10.00 CHARGE FOR EACH CHANGE OF
- REGISTRATION.)
-
- 4) PRINT REGISTRATION FORM: In order to register your usage of
- 'AMORT' print out this form after you have entered your
- 'PERSONALIZATION DATA'. This information will be printed on your
- registration form and will be used to CALCULATE YOUR REGISTRATION
- NUMBER.
-
-
-
- 5) SET DEFAULT VALUES: For those of you that wish to change
- certain titles displayed on your screens and printed on your
- listings you will like this feature. While these are the only
- titles you can change you will find that using titles more
- commonly used in your industry will make displays and listings
- more acceptable to your clients.
-
- 6) MESSAGE BLOCK SETUP: 'AMORT' is distributed with a message
- block configured for the printing of a 'SIGNATURE' agreement for
- loans for a financed insurance program. You can change (OR
- DELETE) any portion of this message block for your own personal
- usage. THIS MESSAGE BLOCK - WHEN PRESENT - WILL BE PRINTED ON
- THE FIRST PAGE OF EACH SCHEDULE LISTING.
-
- CLEAR: When you select this function from the 'MASTER MENU' you
- will clear out all information you have entered into 'AMORT' for
- the last client, property, and loan schedules you have been
- entering.
-
- AGENT: If you are printing schedules for potential clients you
- may wish to further personalize your listings with your name as
- the agent working with the client. This 'AGENT' name and address
- will be retained by 'AMORT' until you change it. The 'CLEAR'
- function will not reset this information.
-
- BUYER: Enter the name and address of the Buyer/Borrower you are
- printing schedules for. A personalized schedule with the
- Buyer/Borrower name on it will be retained much longer than just
- a loan amortization schedule.
-
- PROPERTY: Enter the address and/or description of the property
- that this loan amortization schedule covers. This information
- will be printed on the first page of each loan schedule along
- with AGENT, BUYER, and MESSAGE BLOCK.
-
- LOAN: With this function you open the door to the five different
- loan amortization schedules 'AMORT' calculates. (Note: Basic
- information entered for one type of loan will be retained and
- used as the basic information for each of the other four loan
- types. This allows you to quickly switch between types of loans
- for recalculations and comparisons.)
-
- EQUITY BUILDING: NOT ALL LOANS WILL ACCEPT AN EQUITY BUILDING (OR
- PREPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL) PAYMENT. BE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR LOAN
- CONTRACT REVIEWED BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY PREPAYMENTS.
-
- 1) MORTGAGE AMORTIZATION - STANDARD: This function calculates a
- conventional mortgage amortization schedule. (The formula used in
- this calculation uses a full twelve month period for interest
- determination. Canada and other countries use a six month
- formula and interest calculations will differ.)
-
-
- 2) BIWEEKLY EQUITY BUILDER: This function will calculate your
- savings when you switch from some other loan to the BIWEEKLY
- EQUITY BUILDER schedule. A standard mortgage schedule is a set
- of fixed payments for a period of time normally with one payment
- per month. A BIWEEKLY schedule takes this monthly schedule and
- pays one half (1/2) of your monthly payment every two weeks.
- This results in a total of twenty six (26) half payments every
- twelve months. This differs from a semi-monthly schedule that
- takes one half (1/2) payment on the 1st and 15th of each month
- that results in twenty four (24) half payments every twelve
- months. The BIWEEKLY schedule in effect forces you to make ONE
- EXTRA FULL MONTHLY PAYMENT each twelve month period. This
- additional payment is applied directly to the principal balance
- of your loan. If started early enough you can save in excess of
- one third (1/3) of the total interest charged on your loan and
- shorten a thirty year loan by almost ten years. You may even
- find it easier to make loan payments on a BIWEEKLY schedule
- especially if you receive your pay check every week or every
- other week. (NOTE - 'AMORT' calculates your BIWEEKLY savings by
- applying additional principal payments directly against the loan
- balance on a per-payment schedule. Almost all BIWEEKLY programs
- offered by mortgage companies hold this additional payment amount
- for either six or twelve months before applying it against the
- loan balance. INTEREST SAVINGS WILL DIFFER DEPENDING ON HOW
- OFTEN THIS PRINCIPAL PREPAYMENT AMOUNT IS APPLIED. * TIME IS
- MONEY! *
-
- 3) TAX EQUITY BUILDER: This is a new concept in building equity
- in you home. With this schedule you calculate what your tax
- return will refund you on your mortgage interest payments and
- apply this money to the prepayment of loan principal.
-
- 4) ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE: This function allows you to
- calculate the total interest and changes in payments that will be
- the result of up to three changes in interest charges during the
- life of your loan.
-
- 5) SIMPLE INTEREST LOAN: This function allows you to calculate
- the total number of payments a person will have to make on a loan
- in order to pay it off when you know only the amount borrowed,
- interest rate, and amount to be paid on each payment. You can
- also include additional principal payments to be paid on
- predetermined schedules.
-
- With each of the above loan schedules you are provided first a
- setup screen where you enter the basic loan information and
- determine basic payoff balances. You can then select the option
- to display, list, or print equity payment coupons for the
- calculated loan. When you select these options you are then
- allowed to enter additional annual amounts for insurance and
- taxes to be included in the payments (but not affect the loan),
-
-
- and additional equity payments to be made on predetermined
- schedules.
-
- Anytime you wish you can press 'F1' for information about the
- field you are about to enter/change.
-
- Other than the AMMVBLS.MEM file created at system initialization
- there is only one other *.MEM file which is created to contain
- your AGENT's name and address.
