Can housing refis rescue the economy? MSN Money

 

"A wave of refinancing could be a strong stimulus to the economy, because it would lower consumers' mortgage bills right away and allow them to spend elsewhere."

 

The effect: "up to $85 billion in stimulus a year," writes Ezra Klein of The Washington Post .

 

Searching for ideas

At the same time -- and separately -- the administration is asking for proposals on how to dispose of foreclosures (.pdf file) owned by Fannie Mae , Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration. The administration likes the idea of partnering with private investors on "bulk sales" of many homes that would be rehabbed and rented on the private market, says National Mortgage News .

 

Fannie, Freddie and the FHA own some 248,000 homes. Disposing of them is a complicated issue. Radar Logic, an analytics firm, says bulk sales could drive down home prices.

 

Leveraging low mortgage rates would be one tool that could meet all those requirements mentioned by the Times. Mortgage rates broke record lows last week. The average was 4.15% for a 30-year fixed loan. It was, USA Today reported , the lowest since 1971:

What's the best indication of a good refinance mortgage loan?



fixed rate! no adjustable and surely not a wat is being marketed hyybrid ARM you want a fixed rate mortgage any term that works
your APR is not that much different than your interest rate! is a good indacation. look for the best interest rate and APR if you get a great rate and the apr is NOt that far off you have a great loan!

try to get the best rate if you have the equity let the lender wrap your closing costs into the loan but be aware of all charges! if they are over charging you it will show with the APR. now if they show yield spread and it looks high just so you know yieldspread is money the bank gives the broker to overcharge you in your rate.
i must say they're are many lenders that dont condone this practice. But it is very real a big reason we are in the mortgage mess and the rate of foreclosures are so high is from greedy overzellous brokers and banks


Lower interest rate that is not adjustable, simply put.

There is rarely a point in refinancing if you cannot get a better rate than what you currently have, and steer clear of adjustable rates that lure you in with a teaser rate.


A good refinance mortgage loan will have an interest rate of less than 2%. Anything higher than that is unacceptable. Here's more to guide you: http://www.whataboutloans.com/mortgage/mortgage-refinance-loans.html.


Watch your answers and what to believe! Fixed rates are not always the best rates, and some of the Hybrid loans are some of the best loans out there, depending on your situation. I have a hybrid 5 year fixed that is at 6.625% on 1.2 million, personally I would rather pay 6.625% for 5 years, paying the payment I would pay on 7.25% and drop my principal by $30,000 then gain equity! Especially while my renter is paying the payment! To answer your question, the best indication is the actual APR, the APR is your loan, plus the costs of the loan divided by the term. If your APR is more tha 1% higher than your actual note rate, you are being over charged. In reality, all loan offficers are "supose" to quote APR's, but, most of them do not know how to calculated them, kind of stupid, hah!


Low (or no) closing costs and a great interest rates.

What is the best way to consolidate my debt? I have a mortgage and want to refinance,add my debt to new loan?

I have a $530,000 all-interest mortgage loan. I am interested in refinancing soon, (if it is a good time to do so?) Should I refinance and add my $15,000 of personal debt to my new loan? Or should I get a personal loan for $15,000 from my bank?


It might be hard refi-ing a jumbo loan these days.

Getting additional cash out might be impossible and a very bad idea to begin with.


Refinance, if you scenario fits


personal loan= no bueno, looks bad on credit like BK


Depends on the value of your house and the interest rate you are paying currently.

Rolling your debt into the mortgage is not a bad plan, IF, you are not going to run the debt up again.


Depending on how long you have had the loan. Most loan companies won't allow a refinance for at least a year or two. As an all interest loan, do you have some equity to use?

If you can overcome those problems, then it's better to do it in a refi, or maybe a second. In both cases you would be able to claim the interest as tax deductible.


Practically any type of loan can be wrapped into the debt consolidation process. Common types include finance charges, late fees and overdraft charges, credit cards, personal loans, utility bills, medical bills, car loans, store cards, gas cards and back taxes. A debt consolidation loan<!--allows you to condense your monthly payments into a single, simple bill, while lowering your interest rates and helping you pay down your debts more quickly and easily. It is also an essential tool in avoiding the much more serious step of declaring bankruptcy.

http://badcredits.awardspace.com/Loan-Consolidation.htm

Unlike bankruptcy, in which debts are cancelled and your credit rating collapses completely, debt consolidation loans are essentially a type of refinancing, where several-->old loans are replaced with a new one that has more favorable terms. Your loan consultant will negotiate with creditors on your behalf, so you’ll no longer have to deal with harassing phone calls and daily mail.

my credit score is 645 and my wife. is 697.what is the best rate. that I qualify for a refinance mortgage loan?

I seem to be having a problem qualifing for a good rate loan.Do you have any advice for me?


Mortgage loan is a term used for the loans secured by a property. Mortgage loans refer to a loan secured by residential property, often for the purpose of securing real estate. Mortgage loans are priced lower than other loan structures because the value of the property risk for the lender.

http://www.worldbestloans.com/Mortgage%20Loan.htm

A fixed rate mortgage loan has its own benefit. If the borrower is budget conscious, he will remain at peace because the monthly mortgage amount will not change.Fixed rate mortgage loan is a loan where the interest rate remains the same through the term of the loan. Fixed rate mortgage loans are the most traditional form of loan.


Hi,

It's not just your credit score that is important. It is also the debt ratio (how much you owe vs. your balance) and other criteria.

Read up on how the credit score is determined here: http://www.gmigllc.com/credit/3314.php

But Mortgage companies look at the whole picture and disect your credit report, no matter what the score is. Make sure you have a clean file.

What is the best monies to get from a refinance, equity loan or a second mortgage loan? Why?

We are looking to borrow money from several financial institutes and don't know which is the best way to go.


that depends on a couple of things. First, what is the rate on your current first mortgage? If the rate you can get refinancing is as good as or only slightly higher than what you have now, it might be better to refinance because second mortgage rates are generally higher by several points. Home Equity lines of Credit are generally adjustable rate interest loans based upon the prime rate so if you are looking for more than you can repay in a year or two you have to consider what might happen if the Fed raises the prime rate of interest and the impact that would have on your payment.

Yes there are costs involved in refinancing that may be higher than those of a second mortgage or line of credit but those are usually included in the amount to be refinanced and you can amortize the write off on those costs so if the payment is what concerns you a refinance might be in your best interests if you are looking to see cash in excess of $10,000..


It depends on several factors which will save you more? Do you plan on staying in the home? If you plan on selling it in the near future I would recommend the equity line It is flexible and only requires interest payments. However, if you plan on staying in the home I would recommend the refinance for the best rate possible
I would be more then happy to offer you a quote.

Can I get a no doc mortgage Refinance loan with a 600 Fico Score?

Fico Scores range from 585-621. Self employed, bankruptcy within past year. Don't care about interest rates. Honest, kind answers only, please.


Well, mortgage refinancing loan will be available more easily to individuals with score 680 and above. Due to the peculiarities of this loan, and the fact that stated income mortgage loans contribute to a large percent of the scary number of problematic mortgages lenders will unwillingly agree to 100% financing to borrowers with less than perfect credit.

I think you have to contact your mortgage lenders for more details.
The website below may provide some insight for you.

Good Luck........!


No doc mortgages are really in disfavor because they caused much of the mortgage mess. If they are available to anyone, it would require a higher credit score and a large equity in the home.


Not a chance.


Mortgage refinance of a property is quite hassle free and usually a good idea to save money.Borrowers who find it difficult to meet their repayment obligations due to financial constraints opt for refinancing their property.

http://www.worldbestloans.com/Mortgage%20Loan.htm

There are various repayment options that can be chosen by borrowers and lenders mutually. Bi-weekly payments are one of the most popular payment plans among borrowers.Bi-weekly payments let borrowers pay off their mortgage refinance faster.

What should I do to get lower interest rates when I get a mortgage refinance loan?



You have to shop around for the best one. That's not saying they will be less than your original mortgage rate was because rates have gone up.


Shop around to different brokers and compare Good Faith Estimates, don't hesitate to negotiate with them based on the GFE's you receive from others. On the personal side the best way to get a great interest rate is by having strong income, assets, a lot of equity in the home, and a high credit score, plus you can always buy discount points to lower the rate (but this is only worthwhile if you plan to own the home for a long time)


You could close inactive credit card accounts. Go to http://www.whataboutloans.com/mortgage/mortgage-refinance-loans.html
for more information.


if another person tells you to close inactive credit card accounts i'm gonna go bananas! that doesn't get you a lower interest rate on your home!

My mortgage loan is going to go up next November. I do not think I can refinance, how can I do a modification?

I just found out that the loan that I refinance two years ago is a "ARM" loan. I do not think that I can refinance, because of the mortgage crisis. I have never been late. Somebody sugested doing a "modification" how can I do that. Do I need a broker or can I just negotiate with the bank.


you should call your mortgage company first and try to refinance...that would be the first thing i did...until they tell you no dont think you cant...they are actually trying to stop this business with the foreclosures and may actually work with you...so call them


Why do you think you can't refinance? Have you ruined your credit in the past two years?

Can you not afford the house in the first place? If not, sell and move to a place that you can afford.


Call that predator lender and tell them you want to modify the loan, it is your right, not a privilege, you do not need a broker you call and after you modify that predator loan and if you want to, refinance it, short sale, lease purchase it, rent it, give back to the bank if want to.Just like they feel you shouldn't have taken more than you could afford they knew that when they gave you an arm to get in it.

Will a mortgage company refinance a loan currently in forebearance?

I've got a mortgage that is in a repayment status under a forebearance plan, but they want to modify the loan and put what I currently owe on the back of the loan. I want to know if another mortgage company will refinance me with the loan currently being behind (although payments have been made as agreed through the plan).

Thanks for your help!!!

Stressed in GA...


They will if your credit still qualifies. If you are in a repayment plan its most likely you have hurt your credit. It may not be high enough anymore.

One of my mortgage loans is 20k at a rate of 9%. What steps do I take to best refinance the smaller loan?



Your first call should be to your mortgage broker and see if you might be able to consolidate your first and second mortgage into a larger primary mortgage (first mortgages always have a better rate), but be careful of prepayment penalties on either loan. Likely your mortgage broker will help you determine whether refinancing any or both loans is in your best interest and how to go about it. Once you get this information shop the deal with a different mortgage broker!
