Record-low mortgage rates out of reach for many The Patriot Ledger
Mortgage rates hit a record-breaking low this past week, but that doesn’t help thousands of homeowners on the South Shore who don’t qualify for refinancing because their homes are now worth less than they owe.
The average rate of a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.94 percent, Freddie Mac reported Thursday. The new rate is the lowest since the government-backed lender began tracking rates in 1971.
But despite the historically low rates, which could mean hundreds of dollars in monthly savings for those who can take advantage of them, South Shore banks have reported only a moderate increase in refinance activity as rates have fallen in the last month.
“It’s not a stampede, although business is certainly steady,” said Robert Gaughen, CEO of Hingham Institution for Savings. “Many folks who were in a position to refinance have already done so at rates close to current rates.”
Real estate data from the last three years shows that the number of mortgages refinanced each month in Plymouth County has fallen even as mortgage rates improve, from a high of 2,146 in July 2009 to 958 in August, according to The Warren Group, publisher of Banker & Tradesman.
Refinance Your Home Loan to Build a Better Future
For many people who are behind in trying to responsibly pay back their home loan, the opportunity to refinance is sometimes the only one left to avoid foreclosure. However, those with bad credit often find that getting the refinancing help that they need is difficult or impossible. However, there are specialized private lenders who work with bad credit refinance loans every day. By knowing where and how to contact these lenders and getting the right information in order, you can refinance your mortgage despite bad credit.
Home Loan Refinancing: A Definition One problem that many borrowers face is their uncertainty about the refinance process in the first place. By understanding what this means and how it can help you, the process to getting your mortgage refinance is much simpler. geld lenen
To put it simply, when you initially bought your home you took out a home mortgage loan that helped you to pay for it. Over time, you have been repaying that loan. However, if you have fallen behind on your payments, lost your job, or seen your interest rate skyrocket, what you were once able to do easily is now impossible. In addition, your credit score has gone down because of your struggle repaying your home loan, leading to bad credit.
Home loan refinancing offers you the opportunity to find another lender who will pay off your initial mortgage loan. You will then continue to make monthly payments to this new lender, but may see those payments go down because the interest rate is lower, the term is longer and the principle amount is lower as well. These changes can give you the much needed relief necessary to get back on track with your home loan payments and avoid bankruptcy and/or foreclosure.
Finding the Refinance Loan You Need These days, the internet is the best place to shop for any type of loan, including a mortgage refinance loan. There are also many brokers who work online who can represent your interest to a variety of companies and try to find you the best deal. It is important that you be straightforward about your bad credit when contacting lenders or brokers, however. The more honest you can be upfront, the more likely you are to find someone to work with you. lenen

Need a loan to refinance mobilehome,purchase land with a poor credit score?
My husband and I make 80,000 a year. But our credit score is near 500. No matter what we do. We cant seem to bring it up. We are owner financing the home we live in and have perfect payinh history with them. But it is not reported to a credit agency. I have tryed many companies over the years and turned down every time. We need someone to take a chance with us.
Your score is way too low. You are not specific as per what you are trying but you should be able to improve it by simple things like paying bills on time.

Sell, Refinance, or Home Equity Loan?
I am seem to be swiming in debt at this time in my life...I would like to secure some money to help me pay off some bills.. I have equity in my house. Is it best to refinance this high interest loan, sell the home and use the profits to pay my bills, or take out a home equity loan? My first instinct is to stay in the house for a few more years beacuse this area is increasing in value.. How safe are home equity loans? Is refinancing wise with poor credit?
Hello -
I'd say that your instincts are correct, and you should hold onto your home. Congratulations on making such a great choice of buying in an area that continues to appreciate.
May I ask where your located? I always am interested in areas that continue to appreciate.
Home Equity Lines of Credit are the most expensive type of loans you could get and I'd advise strongly not to get one. I understand how tempting they can be with those checks arriving in the mail. Think of this though, if they send you FREE checks in the mail, don't you think you would also qualify for a loan that will allow you to pay off those high rate credit cards?
If you are considering refinancing your home, you likely have many questions. If you are confused, you’re not alone. It can be very confusing. There is a FREE website that will answer all of your questions, and provide the following information:
- How to know whether or not you should refinance
- How to know if you should finance your “up-front” costs
- Why some people choose to refinance to a higher loan rate!
- A FREE Calculator to help you decide
Here is the link -
http://www.freemortgageinformationsoutherncalifornia.com/refi_mortgage.aspx
Then you mention that you have poor credit, how poor is it? Remember that you could refinance now to payoff your intial debt and then if you pay your mortgage on-time for 10 months, that your FICO score should improve from 50-100 points. This would allow you to then refinance again into an even lower monthly payment.
When you apply for a mortgage, the mortgage lender will review your income, liabilities, and most importantly, your credit report to determine if you qualify. Even small credit report inaccuracies can hinder your ability to get the home loan you need and deserve. And credit report inaccuracies are more common than you might imagine.
There is a FREE Report which will teach you:
• What lenders look for on a credit report
• How you can improve your credit score
• How to know if you have inaccurate information on your credit report
• How to obtain a FREE Credit Report
The website link is - http://www.freemortgageinformationsoutherncalifornia.com/credit_secrets.aspx
It is always best to consolidate and payoff bills that have high interest rates. By adjusting ratios on your credit cards and possibly disputing inaccurate information on your credit report, your credit can increase significantly.
Follow your instincts and please let me know if you might have any further questions.
Best Regards,
Darren Meade
Just be sure you can afford the payments on the home equity loan plus your mortgage.
If your current mortgage is at a higher rate, it may be wise to refinance and take some cash out. If your current mortgage is at a really low rate, just take out a Home Equity Loan (HEL).
As far as the safety of a HEL, that depends on what you mean. You are taking out the equity in your home, so if you don't pay this bill, your home is on the line. If you are concerned about the rates, a HEL will have a fixed rate, so there is no worry of it increasing. A Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC) on the other hand will adjust any time the Fed's change the rates. I think they have been raise a lot over the last few years, so the rising should slow down or stop at this point.
Of course if your credit is too bad to qualify for any loan, you should probably sell, take the money and pay off ALL your debt, rent for 6-12 months, allow your credit to rise and then buy again at better rates.
Peace,
Greg S.
It is true that home sales have taken a beating this year, even so, everyone and their grandmother has a house on the market. An d everyone thinks their home is worth more than the actual market value.
If you decide to put your home on the market, do two items:
1. Price it appropriately - if your house is the same house as every other house in the area, you are not going to get a better sale price for the cross breeze coming through the kitchen that other homes do not get.
2. Make the property attractive - Paint neutral, clean garage and basement, take care of odors, clean and manicure lawn and landscaping.
The best bet at this time, though, is to find a part-time gig, take care of the bills, and hold onto your home until the market regains strength.
How much equity do you have? What is your current interest rate? Is your current mortgage fixed, adjustable...? Have you checked your credit or are you assuming that you have a poor credit score?
Having asked all those questions...They'll need to be answered for you to determine your best options.
On that note:
1. If your current interest is lower, you'll do better to do a home equity loan. You can get a fixed or an adjustable based on a margin + prime. The lower your credit score, the higher your margin.
2. Home equity lines of credit (HELOC) are sort of a revolving loan that's secured by a lien against your property. You will usually be charged interest only for a number of years ( the draw period) and then have a fixed payment calibrated for the rest of your loan term so that your loan will be paid off at the end of the term.
3. The closing fees for HELOC's can be waived if you keep the loan for ceratin amount of time. Not every lender does this so check. If you do have to pay them, they are usually a fraction of what it would cost to refinance.
4. The interest may be tax deductible.
5. If used wisely, HELOC's can be a good loan, but, it is still a mortgage. If you default on your payments your home may be foreclosed on.
6. If you're payment history is starting to suffer because you can't afford to make your payments, then refinancing may be a prudent way for you to start getting your life back in order.
7. Selling your home and downsizing might also be a prudent move, however, can you wait until your home is sold? What's the average time for a home sale in your location?
If you'd like more detailed information, please contact me at amkornele@yahoo.com.
Best of luck!

bad credit home refinancing loans that are honest and reputable?
We have very poor credit and we are looking for someplace that deals with bad credit loans so that we can do some very desparate repirs to our house. Our roof leaks and the floors are falling in.Any ideas of who will give out loand to people with not so good credit that is NOT a scam? We a place but we are afraid it is a scam.They want 2000 dollars up front for their insurance before they will grant us the loan. We don't have 2grand. Any help out there??
Forget about giving some money to get a loan.
This may be a solution, I've heard it worked:
Contact a local construction/carpenter school and tell them your story. Offer them to use your
house as a real case in their courses. You won't charge them, but they do the job for free. If
they ask for money, get a local wood shop to sponsor the fees.
You have good chances.
If it doesn't work, take a look at prosper.com
Good luck !
And learn to clean your credit !

You can easily be labelled as a bad credit risk by financial companies. This can make it more difficult to-->arrange loans or other finance, and usually means you will pay more interest on any loan you take out.

Good luck.
Follow the same advice when it comes to loans. If you have a bad credit history, then go for a bad credit loan. It is a feasible loan option to let you fulfill your financial goals. A bad credit history can include arrears, defaults, bankruptcies, County Court Judgments etc.
Usually, adverse credit loans are given as ...
With this buy out proposal will it allow people who have faulted on their home loans stay in?
With people who got their faulted loans refinanced by Fannie May (or however it's spelled) buy out the poor credit loans and they are looking at getting the buy out will that mean those who have loans faulted by them stay in their homes they didn't pay for?
I mean I have a legit loan through GMAC why can't I fault on my loan and get my house for free?
I am not sure if this is the truth behind part of the buy out is this true can someone explain?
Because you are not a member of the entitled who have the govt going out of their way to give them what they want without making them accountable. I would guess you work hard and consider your house payment a priority. I would guess that you did not buy a house you can't afford.
Refinancing Home with poor credit?
I purchased a home 3 years ago on an adjustable rate. The rate is getting higher and my payment is over 200 more than it started. I really need to refinance my home but my credit is poor around 520 credit score. I also owe a large student loan. I am currently on an 80/20 loan with 12.5 on the 20 and 9 on the 80. This is the first home I have bought and did not understand the terms of the loan. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I really do not want to sell the house because I am not sure that I can buy another.......
The 80 will not lock until 12.5
You have had 3 YEARS to repair your credit and have not done so.I am an EXPERT on credit and credit repair also.Don't blame your not being able to understand the loan and its terms as part of the problem.The REAL issue is you do NOT know how to MANAGE moneySounds like you will be foreclosed on sooner or layer which is probably for the best.Your credit score is so bad that a foreclosure is not going to do any worse damage.Rent for a few years and when you get your credit cleaned up and LEARNED how to manage money better and you are out of debt,then yo could buy a home again.Once a future creditor sees your past credit issues AND sees them resolved by you paying them off they will loan you the money to buy another home.And this advice DID NOT cost you a cent unlike people that would charge you to clean up your credit.Like I stated before I COULD do that for you as well but the thing that you need most now is FREE advice and put those funds that someone will charge you into paying your debts.
need personal loan of 25000 , poor credit score, due to illness anyone know of legit lender?
fell behind due to medical issues and two car accidents credit score took a huge hit, trying to get a legit personal loan to pay off everything, and lower monthly payments but improve credit score... can anyone help......???? i am really stresses trying to get on the right track and improve credit scores... don't want to refinance home, no one would anyway
Rather then looking into a loan look into a debt management/consolidation firm. They can not only consolidate your debt, but they can usually help lower or eliminate some pieces of debt. Do a search for local firms or you can contact a nationwide firm like InCharge debt solutions.
I own my home at about $25,000. I need $ to pay bills. Can I get an equity loan or refinance?
I have a fairly poor credit rating and my bills are slipping. If I own my house, would it be foolish to get a loan on it? What kind of loan can/should I get? Do I need to get it appraised? Please help. :)
i believe you mean that you have $25k equity in that house, yes? that would mean that you purchased with a down payment or not, and in the case of not, it has risen in value since you bought. am i correct? if so, then this is what you do:
1. look at sunday newspapers that have a real estate section in them. or look on the net. get current interest rates and what they charge for "points," meaning one percent of what you borrow. one point of $20,000 is $2,000. but most lenders now are not charging points unless you want to "buy down" your interest rate by 1/8% for one point.
2. find the ones that have very similar interest rates and points.
3. chose them. call them. see if a refinance or equity loan specialist will come to your house to sit down with you and explain all the things you need to know to take the cash equity out of your house now, to pay your bills (a great idea), as well as:
a. how much of that equity would do it?
b. what is your cost to take that money? i.e., the lender should be able to show you how slowly or quickly you recover your fees and costs to get the equity money that you need. i suggest that you take about 20% more than what you believe you need, then put that into a money market account for any future bills that you'd pay with a credit card. try to get to cutting up the credit cards. most people that do what you propose just continue to build up debt again using credit cards and buying brand new cars on credit. those lose 1/3 of the price you paid as "value" as soon as you drive it off the lot.
4. yes, you will have to pay for an appraisal and credit report, which will not look good, but you have equity, so don't fret.
the appraisal will be paid for out of the fees that you pay the lender.
5. ask if there are any closing costs for your refinance or a home equity loan and how quickly you can get the money.
6. you should, if you can, get another sum of money out of what is your minimum amount needed to pay your bills to cover the closing costs, or, you can write them into the loan, but i do not advise that.
7. ask your accountant if in this instance, you can write off loan costs. i do not think you can.
8. ps: if you have owned the house a long time and your interest rate is higher than today's rates, you may consider a total refinance. but get good advice on that, so get a good loan officer with a lot of experience and knowledge.
if you end up refinancing the entire loan, ask about the various mortgage products and what they will cost you. i do not suggest that you take an "ARM" mortgage, PARTICULARLY one with payoff in one year and no cap!!!
if these answers don't help you and you have a specific question, feel free to ask it at the email address specified on my profile.
good luck!!!
