America California Bank Refinance Mortgage Rates – Fixed 30 Year Loans Hit ... Subprime Blogger (blog)
On August 3, 2011 we are seeing 30 year fixed mortgage rates as low as 4.1%. When looking at a historical chart of 30 year fixed rates it is quite obvious that we are getting very close to historic lows. Rather than allowing this opportunity to pass it may be a very wise choice to star research as soon as possible as it could end up saving some individuals quite a bit of money.It is very important to remember that not all Americans can qualify for some of the lowest interest rates. The general rule of thumb is that individuals must have a significant amount of home equity, a debt to income ratio below 40%, and a credit score that is about 740 to have an opportunity to take advantage of bank refinance rates under 4.5%.
Over the next several weeks it will be very interesting to see just how many refinance applications are submitted as many Americans stand to benefit greatly. If individuals can save one full percentage point on their current rate than it is likely true that is well worth it to complete the refinance process in August of 2011.

Need to refinance the home where I live I have a 80/20 loan 80 is 6.25 adjustable and 20 is 11.5 a?
Home in california that is worth about 240000 and my balance on that is 35000 the balance on the second house is 204000 and is worth about 235000, I need some money for a bussiness how can I refinance the second and get a equity loan on the second also how do I avoid paying to much taxes if I sell the one in california
You avoid the capital gains taxes by selling the one that has been your primary residence for 2 out of the last 5 years. Up to 250k on each of you, husband and wife.
To get a loan on the house with the small loan balance you just apply for the loan. With that much equity it would be relatively fast, simple and easy.
You should probably try to do just a rate and term on that 235k prop. If the one in CA is not a primary residence and you will be taxed at 15% cap gains.......consider whether you should sell outright or take the money out of it tax free with a refi that the tenants will cover the payment on.
Where is it located? Depending on where it is, I may know of an interested party..... if you can discount it pretty good it may sell within a few months. There are alot of foreclosures so the market is pretty saturated right now.
I wonder if you call Marty up there if he would give any advice? Cuz he sure never does here on Answers!
Good Luck

Home Loan (Refinancing option)??
I am buying a home in Fresno California. I am 34 years old. My house is in my parents name due to my credit. I have been buying the home for thirteen years and owe appr. $50, 000. I am late in payments as many people in the U.S. are. The loan is with Wells Fargo. I would like to approach my parents with a/some suggestions as to how we can refinance, take out on the equity, etc. Something to assist with catching up, having some cash for renovations, etc. Any suggestions?
Taking out a home equity loan in your situation is a very dangerous thing to do. You cant use the home equity loan to help catch up, that's eating yourself up from the inside out. Its just like maxing out your credit cards. Using it to renovate is probably not a good thing either. Many other homeowners used their home equity loan to renovate, and dont know how much to renovate. Many of them overbuild and the new renovations didnt add any new value. If you say you have equity then sell the place, because you cant afford it anyways, and you dont want to hurt your parents credit. Getting a home equity loan will just raise your payments, and it is not nearly enough money to cover yourself for very long. If your credit is better now, maybe you can refinance your original loan and try to get an affordable fixed rate. If you cant, there isnt many options for you. If you take the home equity loan route, you will follow the same path of many homeowners who cant afford to repay the loan and are now foreclosed on. Its just very irresponsible. Sell the place, dont look back, and start over.
Using my equity to refinance from an ARM to a fixed rate?
I bought my small southern california home for $760K. I had my agent pull comps that has my home value at $810K. Zillow.com (which I know is just a best guess) has my home listed at $805.
I am 1.5 years into my 5/1 interest only ARM 100% financing and want to refi to a fixed rate loan asap. I owe $760K on the home. My credit score is 910 (Excellent). I want to put 5% ($38K) down on the home when I refinance.
Can I roll my existing equity into the new fixed loan?
(current market value $810K - $760K purchase price = $50K equity in home)
Yes, most lenders like to see 10% equity to approve a refinance. Right now, you're at about 94% loan to value, so you would probably have to put more into the house first. Also remember the closing costs you will incur. You might be able to get around this with a "favorable appraisal", but lenders are less flexible right now.
Also, what would your debt to income be? Remember that with a fixed rate mortgage, you'll also be paying principal, so your monthly payment will probably increase (since you're only paying interest now).
The lender will consider the difference between the loan amount and the appraised value (which the lender will obtain before issuing the loan) as your equity and, hence, your down payment. Though the limits have been raised on what constitutes a "jumbo mortgage," you are still above the threshold of $417,000, so expect to pay a higher rate than mortgages for a lesser amount. In addition, because of the low percentage of equity, you may have to pay a higher rate, though your excellent credit score should mitigate that.

I want to refinance my home for a debt consolidation new loan. Which are my best options ?
I have about 40 % positive home equity , no late payments , but I only have been owning the house for a couple months. My house is in California and I have a fair to good credit with too many inquiries in the last 6 months.
Is there a temporary relief loan program for California homeowners who have a tough time paying the mortgage?
I heard about the new loan programs that allow home owners to refinance their mortgage to a lower interest, but those who qualify need a decent credit, certain income, and their homes need more equity than what they borrow. But what about those who are really suffering and have none of those above?
Unfortunately then you will join the ranks of those that have or are losing their homes. No credit, no income and no equity means pay for what you signed for. Sorry but not my fault you overextended yourself, buying way more than you could afford. Do not think my tax dollars should bail you out because of your foolish dreams, and not living in reality.
Does California Section 580b Anti-Deficiency Protection apply to loans that been sold to another lender?
If a borrower took a 80/20 loan but the 2nd (20) loan has been sold to another bank, does California Section 580b Anti-Deficiency Protection still apply? "NO" refinancing or home equity credit has been taken. Basically, the 80/20 loan is "Purchase Money".
yes, sir!!!
God Bless California!

Transfer my dad's property into my name (both title & loan)? transfer loan without refinancing?
I live in Los Angeles County, California. I want to transfer the property's title and loan into my name from my father. I am looking to invest with the equity in the home and need to be in control of it as much as possible. Below are the specific questions:
How do I transfer the title into my name in Los Angeles county? What forms do I use? Do we do a quitclaim? What are some of the possible tax ramifications for myself and my father? How can we keep taxes to a very minimum when doing this? What is suggested as the best route?
I need to transfer the loan on the property. It has a low interest rate from a few years back and I would like to keep it like that. I do not want to incur opening and closing costs of taking out a new loan and have to pay a higher interest rate. How can I get the current loan put into my name? If it has to stay in my father's name and were to want to take out a second on the house, would he have to sign on me doing so? What is suggested as the best route?
I believe the transfer of title to you will be viewed by the IRS as a gift in excess of the current of $11,000 per year limit. California income taxes are a potential matter as well. You could end up owing a lot of income taxes. You had better tread slowly on this deal.
If you bought someone out on a primary residence, is it a money purchase loan protected by California anti-def
anti-deficiency law meaning once the bank foreclosed the property; they are not allowed to come after me for the balance that didn’t satisfy the loan balance after the sale of the auction.
So I originally purchased the house in 2002 with my wife. Then she wanted to leave so I bought here out to transfer the title and mortgage to me. An additional 30k in home equity became part of the new mortgage and was paid to her. The sellers were listed as herself and me and the buyer was listed as me but with a different form of my name. Does this financing count as a money purchase loan that is protected against deficiency judgments in foreclosure or is it just a refinance that would have no protection in foreclosure?
I have paid off around 20k of the total mortgage. Does that mean they can only come after me for 10k now in foreclosure or can they come after me for the full mortgage amount of 260k?
Once you refinanced and took the 30k you exempted yourself from anti-deficiency. You are going to be liable for the entire amount of money you spent.
Recourse Loan Or Non-Recourse Laon?
I am facing foreclosure on my home. I used 100% financing to purchase my home. It was strucutred as an 80/20, with the 2nd being a Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC). Now ,I know in California 1st mortgages are non-recourse. I am a bit confused and have gotten mixed feedback on the HELOC. Some say that all HELOCs are recourse loans. Others are telling me that only HELOCs where you have pulled against your equity are recourse, while a HELOC used as a 2nd mortgage to purchase a home is non-recourse. I HAVE NOT refinanced either of my loans and I have not used my HELOC to pull cash out. I simply used as a 2nd mortgage as recomended by my loan officer. Anyone have the answer?
Read your contract. It will tell you if the loan is recourse or non-recourse.
And it most definitely DOES make a difference if it is or not when it comes to the 1099-C and Cancellation of Debt income with the IRS. A non-recourse loan does NOT trigger a COD income event since once the loan is foreclosed upon there is no remaining debt for you to pay, even if the proceeds from the sale are not sufficient to cover the outstanding balance. If there is no remaining debt to pay, there is no COD and therefore no taxable event. PERIOD!
Adjustable rate coming up on my mortgage.80/20 loan?
I live in southern California, I currently have an 80/20 loan and the 80% is going to adjust. I'am in the process of refinancing but it isn't looking too good for me, I have about 20,000 in equity according to a recent home appraisal but I'am still having problems getting a loan. The payments will go up around $700.00 when it adjusts and it will be almost impossible to pay. Should I contact my Mortgage company now and see if they can work with me and if so what is the likely hood that they will work with me? I would like to avoid a short sell or obviously foreclosure. What are some of my other options? I have fair credit and good income. Beneficial is the company the loan is through.
Contact your mortgage company NOW and explained the stitition today and see if they can help you or refi your home.
You also think about refi into FHA loan if your loan amount is low.
