What are the laws for Florida's Mortgage Closing costs with the home seller paying half of the closing costs?
I agreed to pay ONLY half of my buyer's closing costs. The home price is $285,000. Before I even got the good faith estimate in my hand I estimated my buyer's closing costs to be 3% of $285,000 at least which comes to $8,550. I got their good faith estimate today and I see that the "estimated closing costs" are $10,246.50 and the "total funds needed to close" are $13,510.04. and a loan orgination fee of $2,850.00 and, administration fee of $585.00, Underwriting fee of $795.00, processing fee $495, and much more. This is more than I thought. I think the fees are probably a little to high. I know in the state of Florida there is a cap on what the Home seller pays in closing costs. How can I find these laws and to make sure that I am not paying for a whole bunch of Junk fees. This is my first time ever doing this and I just want to make sure that I am paying fairly, correctly and within the Florida laws. Any help, from Mortgage or Real estate professionals will be greatly appreciated.
The real estate agent ought to have easy access to the answers. In some states, splitting the taxes at settlement is usually par for the course. One can also shop around with different settlement companies rather than the one affiliated with the real estate agent.
Can I get a Home loan with bad credit?
Hello,
I have bad credit at the moment, just got married and I'm trying to consider buying a house. I heard that if I put down 20% most banks will give me a loan? Just not sure how true is this? My wife has decent credit and we have the 20% to put down but we don't want to get our hopes up. Any good mortgage company to work with people with bad credit in Florida?
yes you will probably be able to get a loan, but it will be a small loan, and yes you will have to put a large deposit down.
It depends on how good your wife's credit is and your income. You can use a mortgage calculator to see how affordable the mortgage will be for you, and that will give you an idea about how confident a bank will be in giving you the loan.
I'd shoot for a 650 credit score. If you pay off your credit debt and any other small debts, it'll give you an instant credit jump. This may help.
Good luck!
Use your 20% to get a conventional loan with no Mortgage Insurance. That will keep your payments reasonable.
Mortgage insurance protects the bank only.
Buy a home that is a little less that what you can afford.
My rule is that the payments be no more than 1 weeks paycheck. so you if earn 800.00 a week after taxes, your payments should not be more thant that.
Then you know for sure if one of you loses a job, you can still afford your home, or if one of you becomes physically unable to work. you don't risk financial bankruptcy.
I live in the US and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this
much in my life as i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been going
through really rough times in my life and my name is Helen
Peters and in all this hard times, a worse incident occured in my life as i
lost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad as
i had bills to pay and my last son suffered a knee injury incurred when he fell
from a tree house and the doctors informed me that he needed a surgical
operation for his knee so he could walk again and at this point, life was
useless to me as i have no family and no one to run to and each night, i will
sit down and cry till the break of dun until one day, i read an advert on yahoo
answers of man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans and
in my desperate situation, i had no choice but i had to try and so shocking and
suprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a reality, i got a loan of
$75,000 USD even with my bad credit within 48 hours and my sons surgery was done
and thank GOD it was successful and now, i am okay and living in comfort with my
kids and i said to my self, i have never ever seen this kind of wonder in life
and i decided i will tell it to the whole wild world and i need every one to
thank GOD for Mr Patrick Harvey, the man GOD used to rescue me and my family
even when all hope had been lost and gone and i will say to every one, no matter
how dark and sinful the world is today, there are still GOD fearing and reliable
people on earth and if you are in my former situation or require a loan
legitimately, i will advice you contact this loan lender and you can reach him
via patrickharvey12@yahoo.com and i want you all to pray for this man for me.
what happens in a home equity default when the 1st mortgage is current?
If I can not pay a home equity line of credit with one bank but I continue to pay the 1st mortgage what action does the home equity line of credit holder take? Both loans are up to date, but I will be unable to pay the HELOC much longer. I do not live in the property in question. It is vacant and with a realtor but it is in Florida and the value is dropping almost daily due to the crisis in the real estate market in florida. Should I let the banks forclose?
You never want to let them foreclose on you, period. I am sure you still have equity in your home. You should try and sell or refinance, and yes, they still will refinance you with those late payments. What you need to know if what your home is worth and what you owe on the two loans total. If you could refinance the two together and get one loan and a lower rate/payment, you should be fine. If you are not going to pay one of them, I think the 2nd is what not to pay, but that payment is probably much less, right?
I just realized you said it was vacant with a realtor and CONTRARY to what many think, you CAN refinance even if a property has been listed for sale lately. Just change the status to cancelled or withdrawn and talk to a mortgage broker that knows the business well. Even vacant homes can be refinanced. I would suggest trying to refinance and have your realtor list this for rent. I am sitting on a vacant home in Cape Coral FL that I already did a cash out refinance on and it has been vacant almost a year. It sucks to use the equity in the home to keep it going but it is better than getting late payments and/or foreclosure.
How can I find a mortgage broker in Florida that deals with FHA constuction or rehab loans?
I want to make an offer on a property in Florida but would like to be pre-qualified first. It has a mobile home on it and I don't know if I will need a construction loan or rehab loan? What's the best way for me to proceed?
Contact a local real estate broker in the area. They will know who deals with the FHA.

Mortgage loan for first time homebuyer?
I am looking for a mortgage lender. i am putting 20,000 dollars for a down payment. the home is 69,000. i have no credit, what do i need to do? I live in florida and the house i'm looking to buy is in oswego new york.
How do I get credit?
Congrats I am looking at buying my 1st home too. Lenders look favorably on taking some of those home buyer counseling workshops and it may even get you access to some additional funds (nothing wrong with free money).
Your lender will use alternate credit sources I am told so they will look at utility bills, letters from landlords stating when you pay your rent etc.
Good luck with the process hope I was at least some assistance.
will a lender modify my home loan even if im not in default?
I have 2 properties in florida. one is investment and the other is second home. I have not defaulted on any of my loans and both me and my wife have credit scores of 760 and above. I am spending more than i earn right now to maintain these mortgages and fear that if the one with a payoption arm recasts i will go into foreclosure. can i modify even though i am not in default as of right now? there is no equity in the home the mortgage is now more than the home is worth. what are my options? what are the repercussions for homowners who just stop paying their mortgages? can they foreclose on my primary if i stop paying my investment home? please advise.
Usually lenders will not consider modifications to loans that are not in default. This is because they have no motivation to do so. If you are making payments as agreed they see no problems. They don't care if you are killing yourself to make those payments (nor should they).
Your biggest problem is one you made when you signed the mortgage papers agreeing to take out a payment option arm. If you have ever paid an amount less than the interest, all you were ever doing is deferring the date at which you were going to have a significant problem.
Since there is negative equity and since you can't afford even the option ARM payment you are hosed at some point. You will either have to keep making minimum payments that you can't afford until the loan resets and you really can't afford it or you will have to let it fall to a short sale or foreclosure now. You might be better off doing it now to avoid accumulating other debt before you lose this house because that might put the others into jeopardy. Even if a lender agreed to a modification of the payment amount or the interest rate would it help enough long term? Be honest with yourself. Find out exactly what you'd have to ask for to make it a viable loan for you. If a huge interest rate discount or a huge hit to the loan balance is what is required, they aren't going to be very interested.
The banks will have even less sympathy for you because these are second and investment properties. Most modifications are made on primary residences.
Consider your credit scores history - they won't survive what you have to do.
Your options are primarily short sale and foreclosure. Modification most likely won't work (although you can ask). The repercussions of not paying are mostly foreclosure. They take the home, auction it off and put the proceeds of the auction against the balance that you owe (which will be higher than your current loan balance because of penalties, legal fees, etc.). This is a large loss for the lender. They would probably prefer a short sale which generally costs them less and is less damaging to your credit (although your credit will be shot for several years anyway).
good luck!
If I were in your situation, I would call the mortgage company and explain the situation. They may offer to help lower your rate with a refinance especially if there is no equity. If there is no equity- they lose!
Without being in default, you wouldn't qualify for most programs aimed at the housing market issues and if you did default now, you probably still wouldn't qualify. I would do whatever necessary to keep the credit score you have.
Can you rent the investment home? With all of the foreclosures, rental property could be lucrative. Good Luck!
Foreclose - Should I walk a way from this home? Owe more than it is worth?
We live in Florida. We have a less-than-interest home loan. Each month the principal goes up. We have to relocate to another city due to employment transfer. Home is worth 40K less than we owe, and can't sell it. It has been on the market for over 2 yrs. Should we just walk away from it? Will the mortgage company come after us for unpaid interest to date? The loan is just over two yrs old.
Contact a Real Estate or Bankruptcy Attorney for the best solution. We all have our breaking point, and credit is really just pride. How much is it really worth, 40k, 50k, 100k? If you've already lost 40k, it's only going to get worse. The market will plummet here for another year or two, so start thinking about getting things in order. Also, speak with a Real Estate Agent who specializes in short sales. Get the name of someone from the Attorney you speak with, so you know they are unbiased. I would never personally tell someone to walk away, but we may all be faced with your same dilemma eventually. I own a business. If the business made no money and was 40k upside down, I would close it and file bk on the money I owed so that I could retain my personal assets. You may be at the point where you need to let go of the emotional attachment and look at this as a simple business transaction. Good luck.
You should try to work something out with the lender.
Good Luck!
Take care and good luck.
But the other thing is you can't sell it and you can't stay there, so it'a like an albatross, right? Hard to think of one's home that way.
I have long term confidence in the market, but I think this trough we are in is going to take a good 5 to 8 years to recover value like you need to get on track. My opinion. Whatever you do, don't rack up a bunch of credit card debt on top of it.
My though process goes like this: if you are already at a 100%+ debt to equity ratio and you are building up more debt by keeping a property that you have to leave anyway, then that's like flushing hundred dollar bills down the toilet. Unless the rental market is paved with gold in your neighborhood, you ought to walk.
Good luck, friend. I went through this same thing (foreclosure, bankruptcy, car repo, the whole works) about 20 yrs ago, and it's tough. But save your pennies aggressively and buy back in 7 years. I did ok. I think you can to.
Can a college student get a mortgage for around 115 thousand dollars?
I'm a navy vet w/ 10k in the bank. I want to buy a condo for 115k using my VA home loan mortgage option but I've only been at my job for about a month since I just got out of the military. I have AWESOME credit, and I can't just stay at my job longer because I'm moving from Florida to Washington state to get into a nursing program that doesn't have a waiting list. I recieve around 1400/month from my gi bill, which last another 2 years, and I'm going into the medical field so I know I'll be able to find work anywhere to supplement my gi bill income while I'm in school. Thanks for any inputs except the ones that just tell me that I'm stupid for asking :D
My job in the navy had nothing to do with nursing. I was an aircrewman in an aviation platform so there isn't any continuation of skills, but I am working as a CNA and saving up money still. By the time I'm looking to actually buy I wilhave been a CNA for about 4 months, but I doubt that will make a huge difference.
"Can I have my mom, add my name to her deed, so I can get an equity loan to move her to Florida?
My mom is disabled, she has medicare, and some form of Medicaid, there are no liens on her home., she has no cash assets. I need to move her to Florida. Her credit is poor., and we don't want to take a reverse mortgage to get funds to move her to Florida.
SELL THE HOME THEN.
Can you include closing costs into a FHA loan?
I am buying my first home here in Orlando, Fl and I was told you can finance your closing costs within your FHA loan. Does anyone know out there that has come into this situation? Any Florida mortgage brokers out there?
Yes, but it is more common for the contract to read that the SELLER pays your closing costs/down payment assistance. "Seller to pay up to 6% of the purchase price for down payment assistance and closing costs/prepaids".
I closed a handful of FHA purchases last month. The buyers put about $1000-$2000 into the homes ($350 appraisal, $25 credit, $250 home inspection, $500 earnest $) and walked away with keys to a home with $15000 - $25000 in Equity!
Get qualified with a mortgage professional (paystubs/W-2s/bankstatements) and get yourself an LSR backed up by an automated approval (AU).
Best of luck!
