American Continental Bank Refinance Mortgage Rates – California Home Loans for ... Subprime Blogger (blog)
As we get closer to the fall of 2011 will be very interesting to see what happens with overall mortgage refinance applications. If the 30 year fixed mortgage continues to drop to levels never seen before and there is little doubt that refinance applications will be submitted quite often as Americans are hoping to save money.With many free resources available online there is no reason to pass up an opportunity to do extensive research and completely understand how the refinance process works. By accessing the HUD website most will find that there are many steps to the process that will allow them to negotiate lower costs and fees which could end up saving a significant amount of money.
It may also be a wise choice to contact several bank lenders to better understand what competitive interest rate offers are available. Unfortunately, many Americans going to the refinance process without feeling as if they need to get competitive rates . This could end up costing them thousands of dollars in the long run.

Which bank offers the lowest interest rate for mortgage refinance in California?
I need to refinance my second/investment home in Milpitas California and I'm looking for a mortgage broker or a bank that offers lowest interest rate based on 700 or more fico score. Preferably a loan program with minimum monthly payment is preferred.
find the best rate you can find and then add 1% (1 point is what is the standard to add when dealing with an investment home)
A mortgage broker is supposed to find you the best rate from all the companies she works with. If you don't have a good one shop around.
Here is a website to find the average and best rates:

Which company is the best home mortgage lender to refinance with in california?
I am interested in refinancing my current loan to a fixed rate 30-yr loan. I'd prefer to deal with a lender that is in california. any recommendations? i'd like to hear about your personal experience with the company recommended. thanks!
It all depends on your credit score, type of property, length of loan, etc. You just have to shop them to find the best deal.
We have used a mortgage broker in the past. They run your information through a number of lenders and come back with the best deals they can find.
Some will say that brokers make money off your loan. I understand that they do, I still compare the programs to find the best for me. I don;t care what they make as long as it is a good deal to me.
I am a Mortgage banker in TN & KY
My refinance was ultimately done through a local broker here in Southern California. I used a great website to find the broker. The website that I used will eliminate the fees involved in doing a refinance. It's a pretty cool concept. Hope this helps.
I was tricked and lied to by a loan officer and his company in California, where can I file a complaint?
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.

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.
Your best bet is to call the company that holds your note NOW and explain your situation. Banks do not want to own property, and it is in their best interest to work with you to find a rate you both can live with.
Also, interest rates are still very very low. Unless your initial rate for the ARM was one of those ridiculous 1% deals (which are now illegal) you should not have much trouble finding a good rate to refi at.
Good Luck!
If you have had mortgage lates then it will make it a lot harder!
Most lenders will not help you with the refinance as they are hoping that you will pay that higher rate when it adjusts.
If your current lender can't do them, call around.
Refinance the House?
I am living in Silicon Valley, California. My brother bought the house as an investment property. (My parents and I are living there and paying him the rent as mortgage.) The loan needs to be refinanced in September.
Q1: I would like to add my name on the title. Should I go through the Title Company to add my name on the title? I talked to the Bank. They said that I would be better to go to the title company to add my name. The reason is that when my brother and I need to do the refinance, we still need the title company anyway...
Q2: Refinance. Any advise?! I have heard about Good Faith Estimate. I know it is good to get. Can't I only get one after I fill out the application with the bank? In other words, if I don't fill out the application (without having them to check on my info with my ssn), the bank WILL NOT issue the Good Faith Estimate. Isn't that true?
Q3: How's the interest rate? Has it been going up?
1. Adding your name on title is simple in nature but your brother needs to quit claim you on, if he is in agreement then there is no issue.
2. If you refinance the land and you are on the application then your name will automatically go on title.
3. Every application comes with full disclosure, including a good faith, and rates are very stable, but the forecast is increasing rates by years end
4. If you need help email me, douglasdiershow@yahoo.com, I am a VP for a large Mortgage Company
yes get a gfe and you should receive it within 3 days of application
steady at this point but some small escalation
Re-Fi: Pay points or look into 2 mortgages to bring rate down?
Currently we looking to refinance our 30 year mortgage down to below 5%. I live in california where the conforming rates are a bit different. We can re-finance our $450,000 mortgage for 5%, or pay .75% for a 4.75%. I believe we will live in our home for the entire 30 years, so that makes sense. OR....someone mentioned we can refinance into two loans.
1) Would be a $417,000 bringing the rate down to at least 4.75% or even lower (30 year fixed) plus opening a 2nd loan (HEL or HELOC) for the remainder....$33,000. We would have to try to pay that off quickly, but my guess it would take 5-10 years.
How do i compare those two, to see which is better....right now, we would be looking at paying about $6200 in closing costs/points to get 4.75% which gives us 4 years to break even. I am 99% sure we would be here through that, plus many years later.
Thoughts?
Being in CA, the amt of conforming loans is higher.,... ask your lender about Super conforming loans.. Freddie just started doing them w/ minimal points/fees.
Depending on what rate the HELOC would be and how long it takes to pay off you would probably save more money over the long term by going with 2 loans
My mortgage = InterestOnly/ARM - Smartest thing to do?
I have 8 years to go on my 10 year interest only period which ends in 2016. However, in 2011, the rates becomes adjustable (2% cap, Annual adjustment). We're planning to be here no longer than about 7 more years anyway, then we plan to sell and leave the state (We're in Southern California)
If rates went up 2% or 3%, I could still make the payments comfortably come 2011 because I still won't have principle kicking in.
I owe almost exactly the same on my home as what I paid for it. (Prices went up a bit after I bought in the area and have come back down in the last 12 months.) We're saving money now to add an additional room/bedroom in 2011 if the rates are still reasonable and we don't need to use the saved cash to off-set higher payments.
I'm not in a position right now to throw 5%, 10% or 20% into a +$700K jumbo loan to refinance, which is what I'd have to do. So that's out. And not sure I want to do that anyway given that I don't plan to be in this home 20 years.
Any advice? Suggestions about what the best thing to do would be?
Smart to sit, save what I can and not stress about changing my mortgage?
Or is there something smarter to do?
Generally it's cheaper, but cheaper isn't better in this case. Not to mention that you have an adjustable interest only loan at that.
The thing that really sticks out in my mind is that you said you are making the (interest only) payments "comfortably". In a traditional 30 yr mort. you pay the bulk of the interest early on, right?, so I'm sure if you checked you might be surprised how very little the payment will go up if you paid principal just like you would in a traditional loan. Or you sure it would that much to refinance?
Bottom line though is that it sounds to me that your trying to "keep up with the Jones" too much. You got a funky type of loan in order to get into a bigger, nicer home that is really more than you can afford. I'd suggest selling, swallowing your pride, and getting a smaller house financed in a traditional 30 yr, fixed APR.
My Mortgage/Interest-Only...What's the smartest thing to do?
OK, first a little background...
I have 8 years to go on my 10 year interest-only period which ends in 2016. (Loan details: I put 0 down. I am paying 6.5% and 5.5% on my 80/20 respectively.)
However, in 2011, the rates becomes adjustable (2% cap, Annual adjustment. 5% first adjustment cap). We're not planning to be here more than about 8 more years anyway, then we plan to sell and leave California.
If rates went up 2% or 3%, I could still make the payments comfortably come 2011 because I still won't have principle kicking in.
We live a couple miles from the beach in a good neighborhood that has dropped 10-15% in the past 2 years. I owe almost exactly the same on my home as what I paid for it. (Prices went up a bit after I bought in the area and have come back down in the last 12 months.) We're saving money now to add an additional room/bedroom in early 2010 if the rates are still reasonable and we don't need to use the saved cash to off-set higher payments.
I'm not in a position right now to throw 5%, 10% or 20% into a +$700K jumbo loan to refinance, which is what I'd have to do in this market. And jumbo loan interest rates are much higher than the 6.5% I have now. Not sure I want to do that anyway given that I don't plan to be in this home 10+ more years.
Any advice? Suggestions about what the best thing to do would be?

As it is right now you owe more on principle than when you took out the loan, and the worth of the home most likely 25-35% less than you paid. Interest only loans are a nice way of saying you want to lose your home. Yes the market will rebound but only at 2-3% per year as it statistically has been. Hope you can afford the payments because without a large capital investment you will not be able to refinance

What kind of loan can I get to pay off a Mobile Home?
My parents own an older mobile home (1972) in California. They owe about $30,000 & their interest rate is at about 11%.
They are unable to refinance to a lower rate because the mobile home is an older mobile home & they technically don't have a mortgage bc it is considered "Personal Property". It is detached from the land & they rent the land in a mobil home park....so they do not own the land.
Is there a certain type of loan they can get to pay off their current loan? They would like to lower their interest rate & monthly payment.
Any advice?
Thanks!
Doubtful anyone would lend money using that as collateral. It was not even manufactured up to HUD standards.
