Why Fha Refinance Options are so Popular

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

If you are having distress with your loan which may be a adjustable rate mortgage that will adjust soon or have a subprime loan, now is the optimal time to refinance into a fixed rate mortgage offered by FHA. This is a brilliant solution with no gimmicks.

FHA Refinancing Benefits

If you currently own a home now and do not have a FHA loan, you may still be eligible to take get into a FHA refinance loan. These loans get approved even with lower credit scores.

Refinancing with Cash Out

This choice is available to borrowers who have a new or existing FHA loan. When a borrower selects refinancing with cash back, the maximum cash balance they can receive is up to ninety-five percent of the property’s total value. The borrower can also choose to consolidate their first and second mortgages for one simpler and more convenient payment. Moreover, if you have other bills they might also be consolidated. The income and credit guidelines are simpler to qualify for on this government insured loan.

Rate and Term Mortgage Refinancing

A second option for refinancing occurs when a borrower who has an existing loan, which is not an FHA mortgage, can still receive refinancing by doing a rate and term refinance whereby they are not getting any cash back or consolidating debt. The loan amount maximum is even better at ninety-seven percent. The eligibility requirements are just as simple and they don’t have to show their credit score. Furthermore, borrowers will get competitive rates even if you had a foreclosure three years ago or had a bankruptcy more than two years ago. It gets better too, the closing cost are capped by the FHA.

FHA Streamline Refinance

If you currently have an FHA loan, you can qualify for one of the best hassle free refinancing options on the market. FHA streamline refinancing offers borrowers a few no-cost options for the refinancing process. The documentation is extremely light. He borrower simply needs to provide a copy of the mortgage note and their most recent paystub. No appraisal and no bank statement are needed. This choice displays why it’s beneficial for any borrower to get into a FHA loan.

FHA Secure Refinance

Due to the 2008 housing bill being passed this summer by congress, even if you have a recent mortgage late they can apply for a FHA secure refinance mortgage loan. People who are facing foreclosure are still eligible if they pass the tests, they will be in excellent shape again with a competitive interest rate.

Recourse for bad appraisal?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

About a year and a half ago my wife and I bought our first home, we had been renting it from a previous employer of ours and used a lender that he had used before for some of his other rentals. Our credit was such that we could only get a subprime loan. You know the tale. Anyway, loan goes through fine, 255k appraisal and 230k loan, 2yr prepay penalty and fixed for 2yrs at 8.39%. All is excellent, make payments no huge card debt, want to be able to refi within 2yrs. 2 months ago start refi process, everything excellent for FHA loan, credit is excellent, income is excellent, all is in place for loan except appraisal. It comes in at 215k. WHAT!!!!!!!!! So then we question how can that be? We know the market has been terrible but our area has held up pretty excellent. Come to find out, the appraiser had added 5 extra feet on to the end of our house, which added 150 sq feet to the whole house. Our new lender said that place us in a different bracket as far as house size goes so thats why the appraisal came in 40k less. We would have never got the loan otherwise. So now I cant refi because every appraisal now will be with right numbers. Sounds like loan company went above and beyond to make sure this loan went through. Is there anything I can do?

Why aren’t more peole with variable loans just refinancing with an FHA loan?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

The refi guidlines show up to 95% LTV so anyone who is not upside down on thier loan and who has made payments ontime for 12 months can refi into this. It seems to me that a lot of the issues with the subprime loan mess has been buyers who are unable to afford thier loans once the variable rate kicks in, well unless their home has dropped below the value of the loan (of if they have been missing payments already) why not just refi with an FHA?
Its definitley not an add as I sure have nothing to offer. I am seriously wondering. I was also unaware that only specific brokers were able to do FHA loans, which is fascinating.

Where can I find information about the income to loan requirmeent? For instnace, how much income would be required to borrow 0k on a 0k home?
