Mortgage Companies Find Success with Refinance and Reverse Mortgage Models PR Web (press release)

Franklin, TN (PRWEB) August 15, 2011

Altair Customer Intelligence, a leader in delivering data driven customer insight, has reintroduced predictive models. Research conducted by David Hunter, VP of Database Analytics, to review current data trends and more accurately identify homeowners who are most likely interested in a refinance or reverse mortgage offer. "We've seen reverse mortgage activity continue to grow, as well as prime and FHA mortgage refinances," states Troy Blackman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "This down economy coupled with historically low interest rates, rate and term refinances are in great demand and we are helping our clients to create better targeting for qualified borrowers."

In helping banks and mortgage originators to find their best prospects, Altair CI shows that having fresh data is as important as great models. Using basic criteria and shelf “in the market models” for Home Equity, FHA Refinance , Prime Refinance , and Reverse Mortgage Altair shows the cost of wasted mail for records that no longer qualify and the missed opportunity cost of what should have been mailed but was not.

Mortgage refinance when is the best time ?

Refinancing mortgage is not an easy decision, when is the best time to refinance ?


Interest rates fluctuate together with economy. Depending on what they were at the time of closing the loan, you may have chosen an adjustable rate loan or a fixed rate loan. That means that you get the benefit of keeping low interest rates or modifying the rates to a lower value if you have an adjustable rate loan. If, on the other hand, they were to rise to abnormal values, there is a maximum or “cap” to limit the incidence of rates on the loan. Read more http://refimortgage-online.blogspot.com/


Low interest rates, but that's the obvious. If you have some high interest debt, like credit cards, loans, car payment, etc.. then that might be something to look into. Get out and stay out of credit card debt. You waste so much money on interest. Refinancing and paying off your high interest debt can save you a lot of money. I did it not too long ago and ended up saving more than $300 a month on payments.

If you're looking to refinance just to refinance you'd be smart to invest most of it elsewhere. But go ahead take some money and go have fun. You've earned it.


It completely depends on what your goals are when you are refinancing. Are you looking for a low rate? Do it when the rates really dip down. Are you looking to consolidate debt? Do it when you need to but make sure that the fees you are charged do not put you in a worse situation. Are you looking to get a fixed rate? Watch the rates and do it when you get close to that ARM expiring.
I work for a title company and know that one of the biggest factors in refinancing is finding a good loan officer. I have seen many good and many bad ones. If you would like to be referred to a few that I would send my own family to, shoot me an email and I would be glad to share.

when interest rates are low


here are some suggestions
http://www.ehow.com/how_2002256_time-refinance-mortgage.h


It's predicted that rates will rise within the next few months.

Only refinance if you have an ARM and want to go to a fixed rate; or if you can qualify for a lower rate of 1-2 % points less than your current rate, and if you are going to remain in the house for at least the next 2-5 years. Figure out how much you will actually save per month by refinancing before you sign on the dotted line.

Don't fall for any advertised schemes that offer artificially low rates. Check the list of fees associated with the refinance loan.

Don't take equity out of your house to pay car or credit car debt. Most real estate markets are soft and may remain like this for several more years. If circumstances change and you need to sell quickly, you have the additional debt to repay. Only refinance for the remainder of the original loan. That is the smart way to go.

what is the best rate someone can have for a refinance mortgage?

having 668 on credit score and being first time home buying. Today, what docs do we need to present to refinace? Thanks, I appeciate your help.


Hi Claudia; if you are siously considering this, and would like to speak to a live mortagge propfessional, you can email me at dantaft@bellsouth.net- you may be able to get a rate in the high 5s to low 6s, but I would really need more information to give you an accurate idea of what you would qualify for. Your question is a bit confusing as well, as you ask about refinancing and home purchase at the same time. Email me for more info and we can clear everything up and go from there.


first time home buying??? refinance? that doesnt make sense.

rate depends on the loan to value....and if you're looking for a 30yr fixed....what's the loan amount..
you need to present paystubs, w-2's, asset statements, etc

your rate shouldnt be higher than 6.375 for a 30yr fixed...with a loan amount over 150k......80% LTV...


Well it depends....right now rates are up around 7%, you may be able to get something better at a bank....docs usually needed are paystubs, W2's, Homeowners insurance declaration page, your first mortgage note or statement....and typically you go from there. But as far as rate, it is depending on pay history, new accounts opened recently, stuff like that. It also depends on your LTV, loan-to-value, usually the higher the LTV, higher the rate, for example, your house gets appraised for 200,000 but your balance is 197,000, you do a total refinance and it includes fees (which also eats your equity), your rate may be higher. If your house values at 200,000 and your balance is at 175,000, your rate would be much lower compared to a high LTV......

Basically, if you just bought your house within the last 12 months, and you bought it very close or at the valued price, it may not be a good idea to refi at this time....but if you have a lot of equity built up then go for it.


It will depend on the whole picture, not just your credit score.
The fact that this is your first home is not a consideration in refinancing the home.
Documents you will need are 2 mos paystubs, account statements for assets like savings or retirement accts, insurance info.....the processor on the loan would acquire the other items like verification of employment etc.

Rates are in the mid to upper 6's depending on if you pay your closing costs or do a no closing cost option. The amount of equity plays a part in your loan qualifying.

There are many factors involved when determining interest rate. If you have an FHA loan and you streamline refinance, meaning you do not want cash out, you just want to lower your rate you will not even have to pay for an appriasal and fees are minimal. If you are doing a cash out refi
The typicall documentation is .
2 years tax returns
Year to date earning
Another consideration is how much equity and the loan to value you plan on borrowing. The more equity you pull out of your home the more risk for the lender.

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.

Where is the best (only) bank to get the absolute best deal on a refinance mortgage?

Does any such organization exist in this thievery invented by jews? It seems no matter what my credit score is I ALWAYS will get dinged on either a) closing costs b) rate or most often BOTH! Then, when you really play hardball with the banks they typically tell you they'll only do an ARM or something, anything less than a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. What gives? Where is the deal? I couldn't even find such a deal when they said rates were so good 3 years ago!.


I have placed this in the source box. There is a wealth of information there and a great free debt management software program. I bookmarked the site as I return to it often for the advice it offers. I hope this helps you.


Try the site below for research on this topic. If you have any questions, please contact me. I am in the mortgage industry.

what is the best mortgage in order to refinance ?

i have lets bad to ok credit.i tried to do an application with my current mortgage but they told me i couldnt do it because something about percents.and they also told me that if they couldnt get me approved no other mortage could ?? who knows if this is true or not.but i was wondering whats a good mortgage to refinance.my current mortgage is household finance,.


I have worked for Household before, and it sounds like it's either your debt ratio (the amount of your monthly bills divided by your monthly income)...or your loan-to-value ratio (how much you are borrowing compared to how much the house is worth).

I would need more details to help you more though. Email me if you need more help at robert495713@yahoo.com.


the percent they were speaking of was either your DTI (debt to income) or your LTV (loan to value) ratio. if either is too high then there's no point in doing a refi since you really wouldn't gain any headway from doing it. this coupled with your less than perfect credit is probably why you weren;t approved for the refi. also, were you using a lender or a broker? lenders have very few plans to service you whereas brokers have dozens of different plans to suite you.


Wrong..Each Bank or Each mortgage Brokers are different. They carry different products for different people. some specialized in bad credit loans and some only good credits.

maybe what they are saying is, you dont have enought equity to refinance?


Without knowing more about your EXACT situation, it is impossible to advise you on the best mortgage option...

What you need to realize is that there are hundreds of mortgage options out there... There are also hundreds of mortgage lenders out there as well..

What is a good mortgage for you, may be a terrible mortgage option for someone else...

Everyone in america are in different situations financially, credit wise, employment wise, etc...

In order for ANYONE to tell you what is a smart option for you, you need to have them analyze your situation...

I am a licensed mortgage banker.. Ive worked with various mortgage companies over the past 13 years...

I would be more then happy to advise you on the best mortgage option, i just need a LOT more information in order to do so...

Just know that just becuase one company told you you dont qualify, it does not mean that none out ther ewill wualify you...

All lenders have different ways in which they lend money... Some specialize in good credit, some specialize in bad creidt.. Some specialize with peple with alot of money, others work with the less fortunante...

Your best bet is to talk to someone who has access to multiple investors..

What i mean by that is fo instance, i work wiht Providnetial Bancorp.. We are a mortgage lender that is partnered with a portfolio of incestors that all have varying program options...

I am licensed to originate loans with each and every lender we use, so no matter what your situation is, we can find the lender that best suits you..

If you want to know more, feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email at your earliest conveniecnce..

Good Luck!

Who is the best mortgage refinance company?

We are looking to combine our first and second mortgage on our home. current first approx. $80,000 current second approx $60,000 house value @ $165,000 would also like to have a little cusion in the bank. With less than perfect credit who is our best choice of lender


here's the thing...

You're looking for a 90% Loan versus a value at 165k, right there you are going to be in a higher interest rate range. Remember interest rate = RISK... The higher the risk to the lender, the higher the interest rate is going to be. 2nd you state that you have "Less than perfect credit", that is another hit to the interest rate.

In cases like this, I most often find it beneficial to actually HELP people understand thier best path. Now, you've been paying on the two mortgages for several months I'm sure, being as you have a 2nd mortgage that is comparable in size to the first, so what's the rush???

You should find a professional who has been in the business for several years and can help direct you in the most financially beneficial direction. Personally, I would work with you on your credit for a month or two and get your scores up. Have you had any lates to the mortgage? If so, when? What other late payments have been made and when? What is your primary source of income? how long have you been on your job? Do you plan to move within the next few years? how old are you? do you have a retirement plan set up? when do you want to retire? I already know you don't have significant savings and that is a concern to you, how can we work together to tackle that issue? What type of lifestyle do you lead/what's important to you? do you have children? what are thier ages? Finally, what is the market like in your area? Are values increasing/decreasing/holding steady???

All these questions are a major concern to you at this point. The only reason I go through all this is so you can see that there is more to it than the simple "What's the best bank for a refinance for a person in my position?". The question should be, "Who knows what they are talking about and isn't just some kid sitting behind a telephone looking to make a quick commission?" Trust me, I used to be that kid until I found out that I wasn't going to be in this job for long if I didn't start liking what I was doing.

Find a reputable mortgage broker, one who wants to assist you financially, not just help himself financially. Stay away from large mortgage companies at this point.

How do you know the broker is reputable? Well, he'll ask you all those questions I just aked. If you want to talk further email me, I won't even ask for your business :)

Well I think it is a good idea to consolidate those 2 mortgages you can get 4 refinance offers in one form from the site below. I like this approach because your credit is only pulled once which doesn't hurt your score too much, plus you get 4 offers to compare good luck:

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.

what is the best way to determine if it is a good time to refinance your mortgage?

especially if you're on a five year adjustable rate?


It's a comparison of a few different numbers.

(1) The cost of the refinancing. You can get this for free from a lender, or you can look at your previous mortgage for a ballpark figure of how much it will cost. Some banks do "no-cost refinancing" which costs you nothing, but doesn't get you the best possible rate.

(2) The difference in the interest rates *times* your mortgage amount. So if you're looking to lower your rate by 1.5%, for example, on a $300k mortgage, then this number is $4500. That's how much money you'll save per year.

(3) Now divide (1) by (2). That's how many years it'll take to "break-even", after which you'll make money on the decision to refinance. Typically I recommend that people should be fairly certain that they're not going to move for *twice* as long as this number -- because they only *break even* after (1)/(2) years, and you want to refinance only if you're reasonably sure that it'll be a financial advantage for you.

There are other smaller factors like your tax rate, your other itemized deductions, your investment retun on the money you would otherwise spend on the re-finance -- but there's smaller variables than the ones mentioned above.

Good luck,

Doug

Best way to refinance mortgage/home equity line and remove co-borrower?

1st = $300K @ 5.62%
2nd = $50M @ 6.20%
Home equity is $125K @ 7.2%

Hoping to have just two loans. Conforming $417K and Home equity that would allow up to $512M in total debt so Home equity loan = $95M.

Something like that. House is worth $650 or so.......

I want to get my husband off all the mortgages...

What kind of debt could gross income of $8K per month support?

Is this a bad idea. We have been seperated 3 years but never divorced -- he is willing to stay on mortgages, but I would rather stand on my own and be able to change the title too.

I think too that would allow him to more easily purchase another home. I made 100% of the original downpayment on the one I am discussing.
Home equity loan was used for new roof, new windows, car note repayment, and debt consoldiation. Debt free except these mortgages/and the Heloc


Well if you are affording the curent payments on your loans, the new payments on the changed situation you descibe will probably be a little higher (since you will have about 35k new debt and since you may not be able to get the 5.6% rate that your main loan has) but not to much higher.

Also, so long as you have no other major costs (you said these were your only debts so that sounds like the case), it sounds like you have enough income to afford the new loans. The bank probably won't lend you more than 80% of the homes value without other costs (PMI and fees) so 517K borrowed on a 650K house is about all you would want to borrow (very close to 80%).

I'd advise going to your current bank (the one with the 300K mortgage) and telling them the whole situation and asking them if they will write the loans you describe. They will tell you if they can do it, and also will give you a "Good Faith Estimate" of what the approximate costs to do this would be. You may want to also go to a few other lenders to compare costs.
