What is the most current interest rate to refinance my house in California?

Jul 28, 2008 by anuitutu | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

I have a mortgage rate of 6.85%. should I refinance now or will interest rates go down more after the president signs the new bill to help mortgage companies?

To give you a definitive answer would require more information about what type of loan you have now (fixed or adjustable), how much your home is worth, how much you still owe, etc. Suffice it to say, if that 6.85% is for a fixed, 30 year, it will probably not be worth refinancing now or in the near future.

What can I do when I can't sell my house or refinance for a lower payment?

Sep 14, 2007 by kascfairlane | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

I bought a house in California almost two years ago. Now I need to relocate for a job. I can't sell my house because the market has crashed and I owe more then it is worth. For the same reason I can not refinance. I need to find a way to lower my payments so I can rent it out. Any suggestions? Please!

You are screwed!!!

That is the problem with Sub prime loans.
You get to buy in Cheap, and if propertyu goes up you make money.
But not Credit has been tightened, and some people can't qualify for the new reality of interest rates.

You lose.....Figure a way to bail out and save your credit rating.

Means..sell for what you can, pay off the loss on a regular basis
And learn that making money is not easy and has lots of risks.

if you refinance a house, do you have to pay taxes on the equity the house built up?

Jun 06, 2006 by ---- | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

My aunt recently refinanced a house in San Diego California. The refinanced amount was 475.000.00 up from the original purchased price of 415.000.00.
The equity buit was 60.000.00. Will she have to pay taxes on those 60.000.00. if so what would be the tax percentage? She is singled.

She will not have to pay taxes after refinancing on that amount, HOWEVER, she WILL have to pay higher property taxes because it will be reassessed for the higher amount.

If she sells the house, she will have to pay any gain she has, which could be reduced if she saves receipts for things she improved on the house.

In California how can you force the ex spouse to refinance the house?

Mar 09, 2008 by jocajura4 | Posted in Marriage & Divorce

I have been going through this divorce for over 4 months now and I have been forced to live off of credit cards because my ex refuses to unlock my funds. My attorney is a wimp and has no knowledge. He tells me we have to wait until the final court date, but there has got to be a way to force my ex to refinance our home now. He said he's going to do it to buy my out, but he's just sitting on it and not doing it. How can I force him too?

You can't. Your only legal option is to petition for a sale. and since you are going through court for a divorce I doubt you could accomplish that.

Is it possible to refinance 1st & 2nd mortgages for a brand new house immediately after I close?

Sep 17, 2006 by Yah | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

I am required to use my builder's mortgage company b/c they are giving me incentives but the rates are 0.5% higher than other lendes on both the 1st and 2nd mortgages.

I am wondering if I would be able to refinance both mortgages immediately after I close? What do I need to consider? What questions do I need to ask?

Sale Price: $960k
New House in California
Interest Rates for 1st/2nd mortgages: 6.75%/8.675%
Excellent FICO scores - high 700s to low 800s

6.75% is average for 30 years fix loan.
8.675 is high of course, but you don't have down payment, lender wants high rates to compensate.
It is hard to find another lender to give you better rate.

I would stay away from adjustable loans or interests-only, because housing market continues to slump. Adjustable loan is "toxic", which means if rates go up while housing price stays, you will in bad spot.

As for interests-only, mortgage payment consists of two parts: interests and principal. Interests are like rent, which doesn't add to the equity to your house. It simply disappear as your pay it. If you want to use interests only loans, might as well rent, especially during market downturn, because housing price won't appreciate.

Would you consider delaying your plan? As housing market continues to slump, it might save you 10% simply by waiting for a few months. Another way to look at it, you can increase profit by 10% when you are ready to sell it.

If you want to go ahead with your plan, threaten to back out, they probably will give you incentives without asking you to use their lender.

Good luck!

How long do you have to own your house before you can refinance at a lower rate?

Jan 11, 2009 by cbr600girl | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

I bought my house in July 2008 in San Bernardino County in California with a rate of 6.25%. I heard rates are dropping into the 4% area. How long do you need to own a home before you can refinance for a lower rate? I have an FHA loan and a neighbor told me that if I call FHA they can simply just switch the rate for me, but that definitely doesn't sound right.

It depends on what your mortgage states. I also have an FHA loan. It states that I cannot refi or sell for 9 years unless I repay the $5000 they gave me for closing costs. Read through your loan info and see what you can find out. It may be easier to just call your loan officer. They should be able to help you out.

Refinance a non-recourse loan in california?

Aug 22, 2007 by furball | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

Is it true that in california, if I refinance a non-recourse loan (origional first and second mortgages I obtained to purchase a house I currently live in), the loan stays as a non-recourse loan, if I only refinance the balance of the loan, without taking cash out, or adding more things (like car payments) on the loan? Refinanced loan will combine the first and second mortgage into one. What about the closing cost, title insurance, escrow, etc, that will be added on the refinanced loan, does that effect the loan to change from a non-recourse loan to a recourse loan, since more things are added to the orignal loan balance from the first and second mortgage? Will refinance paper work state that it's a non-recourse, or a recourse loan? If it doesn't spell out on the paperwork, how can I be sure that it stays as a non-recourse loan?
Advanced thank you for any answer provided! :)

A non-recourse loan is one where the lender is counting on the collaterall to be worth the loan amount. Correct? So if you refinance both loans, to a different loan program, the non-recourse loan is paid off by the refinance. Simply tell the lender you plan to refinance with that the loan CAN NOT be a non-recourse loan.

I have more than one person on the house title and I would like to refinance. It has been less than a year?

Feb 05, 2009 by calipsyd | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

since I have bought the house. I would like to clear the names of the other people from the title at the time of refinancing, is that possible? I live in California.

You might not be able to refinance because the property might not have increased in value for any potential refinance within a years time.

Are these same people on the mortgage loan? If they are removing them from the title/deed does not relieve them of the responsibility of making sure the monthly mortgage payment is made. If for some reason the monthly mortgage is not made they will be called by the lender and will have a hit on their credit report for any 30 day mortgage lates

If you simply want to remove their name from the title/deed, go through with the refinance. Once you have qualified and been approved for your refinance then the title company will require them to come in and each sign the title over to you.

If the refinance fail to materialize you may still remove them from the title/deed simply by making an appointment with a local title company. Everyone on the title will be required to come in and sign their portion of the property over to you.

You would want to use a title company as it could save possible legal problems in the future. Again if they are on the mortgage documents they still have the obligation of the monthly mortgage payment.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

I was tricked and lied to by a loan officer and his company in California, where can I file a complaint?

Feb 09, 2007 by mclaudia2004 | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

I worked with a loan officer from a mortgage/loan company in California to refinance my house, I was presented with a good faith estimate that showed a low interest rate with no prepayment penalties, and at closing the interest rate was higher with prepayment penalties. I called the loan officer who said to go ahead and sign the documents because he will fix the problem. I was on a deadline to close so I had to sign, and after I signed the loan officer and his company stopped answering my phone calls. I made a complaint with the BBB but nothing got resolved, is there anybody else I can make a complaint with that will persuade this company to remove the prepayment penalties? Please let me know. Thanks

You ran through two red lights at the doc signing and after.

You should never sign anything that is not what you were promised. You should have known that once a contract is signed it can not be changed unless both parties agree and the lender was not going to agree and the loan officer did not represent the lender because he does not work for the lender.

Then in California as well as other states you have a three day right of recission. That mean that even after you sign the loan docs you have 3 days (72 hours) and you can still cancel the loan for no reason what so ever. This had to be pointed out to you because most lenders have it in 14pt print and you were given a copy by who ever was your doc signer.

All you had to do was sign the cancellation documents given you and you could have faxed them to four different places. One to the closing escrow officer, the title company, the lender and the mortgage broker that negotiated the loan for you.

A good faith estimate does not tell you about pre-payment penalities.

You may complain, when you filled out the application you were given several documents. One has a address and telephone number where you can call and make a complaint.

CAMB is not that place because you don't have to be a member of CAMB and if your mortgage broker is not a member there is really nothng CAMB can do.

There are 2 different license in California that can do home mortgages. One is a Department of Real Estate ran by the Department of Real Estate, and the other is a California Finance Lenders license and is governed by the California Department of Corporation.

So if you know which license your mortgage broker is a member then you can make a complaint with them.

The complaint will be an after thought because now the mortgage broker is no longer in the picture and no matter who you complain to the fact that you signed the loan docs make it a legal contract.

All loans have pre-payment penalties that apply when you refinance your house. If you sell your property most pre-pays don't apply as they are called soft pre-pays. You will probably not refinance in the next 3-4 years when the prepay will no longer matter.

Now about the interest rate. This is a tax deductable item. No matter how high or low the interest rate is it is tax deductable. So you will get that back. Check with your tax preparer for all tax advise.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

My friend refinanced his house to buy a pool and 2 cars. Under McCain's proposal does he get to keep them?

Oct 13, 2008 by Barometer Soup | Posted in Elections

When house prices were skyrocketing in California, a lot of my friends refinanced to take equity out of their homes. They used the equity to buy cars, vacations, pools, etc. Now that house prices have fallen, however, they have 2 or more mortgages and are "underwater".

Obviously, there is no way to take back a vacation or a pool, but under r McCain's proposal to buy their bad mortgages and reduce the balances - will they get to keep their Beemers and Mercedes?

They have to prove they can't pay. I would like to know why I don't get a break. I pay my mortgage every month. I don't even have cable. Why don't I get a break?
