Demand for refinanced home loans picks up Atlanta Journal Constitution

More than 75 percent of mortgage loan applications nationally in the first days of August came from owners hoping to refinance, say numbers from the Mortgage Bankers Association. That is up from 60 percent in the spring.

Refinancing even an average-priced house under the lower rates -- a happy side effect of the recent economic turmoil -- can save an owner hundreds of dollars monthly.

But to get a loan, lenders want owners to have skin in the game -- at least 20 percent equity in their homes, not an easy number to hit with precipitous drops in home prices in metro Atlanta. Or they have to bring more money to put down at a closing to ensure they hit the 20 percent mark, something that more are willing to do, said closing attorney Camille Brannon, a partner at Campbell & Brannon whose four offices spread from Buckhead to Alpharetta.

"That is something they have never done before," she said. "But for some people, these interest rates are worth it. If for example, they have a $500,000 loan and the property didn't appraise enough to support the loan, they will bring in $50,000."

Do we have to use 1003 Loan Application when we purchase residential house?

Hi
Year 2006 I purchased house ($625K). I hired mortgage broker and he applied loan for me. BB&T was my lender and loan was approved in 20 days. I put $125K for deposit and got $500K loan. Last year one of my friend told me that BB&T is not a wholesale lender. There must be a loan officer. I was wondering because from the begging to the end I was contacted by my mortgage broker. He was acting like BB&T was a wholesale lender.
I requested full documents from the lender and I reviewed it. When I saw Loan Application I was confused because it was not 1003 Loan Application. It was Bank’s Retail Loan application. I am not sure but I think that retail loan application is for personnel loan, student loan, or home equity loan etc NOT FOR RESIDENTIAL PURCHASE LOAN… * I said I am not sure.
And my loan is-5 years Installment loan- That means I pay $3400 for 59 months and 60th I have to pay about $400K. On settlement day I was out of town and mortgage broker told me that my father could sign the settlement documents if I give him on authorization (Power of attorney). So we did. I believe my father didn’t know what he was signing.
Q.1 They (Lender) don’t have to use 1003 when we apply for residential home loan?
2. Is there any violation that I was not contacted by Bank’s Loan Officer or others from Bank?
3. What do you think about my loan program?
4. Refinancing is my best solution?

P.S. When I applied loan, mortgage broker got all my information on blank paper. He said “I will fill loan application out for you”.
I called mortgage broker….NO ANSWER
Heard rumor that he went to jail.

Thanks.


It sounds like you signed up for a 5 year balloon mortgage which means you need to refinance or come up with 400K to payoff the loan.
I have never seen anyone use anything other than a 1003 for a mortgage application.
If the loan documents that were signed at closing by your father were different from what you agreed to you may have a grievance to file with your local state attorney generals office. Just because you were not there to sign does not excuse the broker from pulling a switch on loan programs.


Well first off. I would check with a real estate attorney about the legal part of your father signing a loan like this. You could say that the broker sold you one loan and your father signed a totally different loan. So go see that real estate attorney.


Added part. I would go for a loan modification.


You signed a blank loan application? That was a pretty big clue of trouble ahead.

Modify or refinance.


BB&T does BOTH wholesale and retail lending. So the broker you went to see did what they call "brokered out" the loan to BB&T, so essentally, the broker was a middle-man.

There is no loan officer in a transaction like yours...there is what they call an "account executive" who handles the contract between BB&T and the broker until it closes and an "assignment of transfer" can be completed...BB&T essentially funds the loan.

A 1003 Loan Application is for MORTGAGE LOANS....this is the standard form that ALL BANKS and brokers are REQUIRED by federal lending regulations to use.

There was no violation...this was a straight forward transaction...unfortunately, you didn't care to be at the closing, because it wasn't that important to you..and sometimes there is a price to pay for that.

Just because you didn't do additional research, doesn't mean anyone did anything illegal.

If you gave your father a Power of Attorney (which must be signed and recorded along with the note), that bears the SAME legal weight as if you were there.

So it doesn't even matter if something changed at the last minute...YOU made the CHOICE not to be there.

You signed a copy of the FINAL loan application at closing and in the initial disclosures that you mailed back...it is a common practice for brokers to fill these out for clients so all they have to do is sign them with information that you supply...when you signed another copy at closing, your signature VERIFIED that you reviewed the document and you signed that it was ACCURATE.

When I owned my own mortgage brokerage...I did this all the time and it's 100% legal.

Sorry...it's not what you want to hear.

I can also tell you by the figures, you got ripped off on that loan.

I think I know who you are, your that guy on the commercial that always loses his loan to DiTech. How sad for you it must be to live in a world where everywhere you look your failures in life are prominent. I have to ask however why does one Harrison A. Walker, private lending esq, type with a distinct Asian sentence structure ? And by the way, in the time you have spent perusing this you just lost two more loans to DiTech. I suppose this will mentally take you back to the time your mom bought you a Duncan Yo Yo. You didn't take the time to read the instructions and had no idea they operate with a string. Now remember Harrison, if your contemplating suicide, when using a razor blade it's down the road, not across the street.


Dear Mr.Harrison A. Walker,

It's kind of unclear, are you Mr. Harrison who keeps snaring people through his loan offer, or you have morphed into Debra now. Is she your sister? Then you would have to share the money you inherited from your father who passed away in Nigeria and might loose some "business" opportunities. It looks like you do not have anything better to do now but just try to solicit loans and scam others. Maybe you should find something better to do instead of spamming on this website.

How do I get a loan for any reason from $50K to $10M?

Can a person on the title but not the mortgage stop me from refinancing?

I have a loan contract with a person on the title (individual property grant deed) in which the contract for the loan "shall continue until the property is sold". Even though I am not selling the property, I have offered a buyout amount for his 10% share and he is threatening to block any refinancing unless I meet his demand for a buyout amount. We differ on the appraisal amount of the property. My appraiser was approved by my lender and is a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser in California and I have no idea if or what type of appraiser he used. Can he do this even if he is not and will not be on the original mortgage or the refinanced mortgage? Would it be better to rescind the offer and just wait to pay him when I sell at a later date? Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to handle this situation.


Yes. The person on the title can block your attempt to refinance.

You can wait to sell, but he will have the same veto power over any contract offer as well.


SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY FOR LEGALITIES. SORRY


He can block you. You have your appraiser. He should have his appraiser. Next let the 2 appraisers select a third appraiser. Then take an average of all 3 appraisal. That should be fair.


HMMMM is correct. He can stop the sale.

Mortgage Loan Refi?

At what point in a 30-year mortgage does it make sense to refinance? Is a refi based on equity in the house or is it based on another factor? After a br, when is the time to refi? What credit score is minimum to refi? Mine is over 650. Also, my property has increased in value, there's new construction, both commercial and residential, near my house and the football field.
I ask because one banker told me to wait until I owned a quarter of the house in equity. Is that accurate?
Thank you.


Hi,

I used to work for a bank. The main reason people refinance is to get a better rate, or to borrow more using equity in the property.

Equity- if you bought your house for $200k 5 years ago, it would have increased in value to maybe $250 or $300k. So the difference between what you owe to the bank and your market value of the house is really how much equity you have in the house.

Since you have had your mortgage for suck a long time, i would consider "shopping around". See what deals you can get. Once you get the best deal ask your current bank to match or beat it. If they don't go elsewhere.

The only thing to worry about, if you current loan is fixed, you will incur a fee for breaking the loan. If not fixed then you can leave at any time.

Hope this helps.

Carla


It depends on what your goal for refinancing is. IF you want money out....then that is one goal.
If you want to lower your payment, then take the difference in your current payment, and your projected payment, and then divde the rei cost by that, it will tell you how long to pay off the refi, over 2 -3 years...its probably not a good idea:
current payment 100, new payment 80, refi cost 1000/20=50 months to pay back or 4 years...BAD IDEA

*at least 2 years after your BK discharges or you will get HOSED on the rate**



Good Luck


You could refi anytime you want as long as you are getting a lower interest rate than what you are paying right now. As long as your property value is going up it is good for you and you could even take cash out of the refi and still come out ahead.


You can refi when it suits you best. You may want cash out to pay off other debt, do a home improvement, get a better rate, etc.

Has anyone heard that Stated Income (no income doc loans) are going away completely?

I have been hearing that lenders will be discontinuing the stated income loan completely. Does this mean that everyone will need to provide tax returns, w2's and paystubs to qualify for residential refinance and purchase loans? How many of you can qualify with what you make to refiance or buy a house? Will everyone have to have an overall debt (monthly minimum payments (on credit report), mortgage payment, property tax and homeowner insurance) vs income ratio of 45% or less? Let's say you make $3500 a month can you afford to buy a house, pay taxes and insurance on it, pay your car payment, credit cards or student loans and still stay at $1500 month total payments so that you qualify? Does anyone think this is unrealistic?


This is the way things used to work before greedy mortgage brokers and banks changed the rules.

People used to pay 10%+ interest rates, 20 year financing with a minimum of 20% down, and were still able to buy.

Granted, prices have a way to fall before we see that again.

But yes, the days of easy money are over and done with. The banks bankrupted many buyers, bankrupted their investors and our now fighting bankruptcy themselves.

If not for the greed, prices would NEVER have shot up as high and as quickly as they did.

Times are changing.

I saved for 5 years to buy my first house. It can be done if you want it bad enough.

Tell me what you think about this for our economy?, if this will help the housing market. read to the end.?

- For a new buyers and for a limited time only ( 4 months or 6 ) backed by the Gov. ( guaranteed loans), banks will offers 25 years mortgages with 25% as a down payment paid by the buyer and ( 0% interest ) for the first 18 months for only residential houses up to $300,000, and 9 months (0% interest) for houses up to $500,000.
- Banks will get 0% interest loan from the Gov for 18 or 9 months for the amount of total loans they made. So they don’t lose any money by paying the Gov interest while not charging the buyers any interest.
- Buyers will pay a monthly payment as if they were paying interest ( as regular mortgage, that will make them save money in their equity ), after the 0% interest period ends the interest rate will be as it was at the time of buying ( so the interest rate will be locked at whatever would be at the time of perches) the rate will apply to the remaining of the loan ( all together it will be less than 25 years loan )
- Property tax will be waved for the fourth year after buying, that way buyers will not get all the benefits in the first 2 years so they will only get the tax waver if they keep the house longer than 4 years.
- New owners will not be allowed to sale before 3 years and no refinance is allowed for the first 5 years.
- Houses must be occupied with in 4 months after the date of perches, cities official are responsible to verify that( so investors will not take advantage of this offer, buy the house and leave it empty hopping that they will make money after a while cause they are not paying interest).
- People ( families ) who gave up their houses in the last 3 years will not be allowed to get the loan.
- if the house was not occupied with in 4 months and or the payment were made late, owners will lose the property tax waver. And interest will start on their loan.


There are a big number of houses for sale, and there are people want to buy, you have to make it attractive to consumers to buy, this loan will not use any of taxpayers money, you only using money that people have now and want to buy, and will not anger the people who are currently paying their payments on their houses,
1- this will take some of the houses out of the market.
2- will give the houses the new value ( stabilize the value ).
3- will create movement in the market.
4- will give good news for wall street.
5- most people when they move in a new house they fix and paint and put a new carpet and more, that will create jobs for contractors and demand for construction materials, will give cities some revenue from property insp. And other fees
6- families will cumulate a lots of money as equity in their houses in the first 18 months, that they will think 10 times before giving up their home( not like now when they don’t have any equity in their houses).
7- hopefully will increase homes value by that families who are currently own a house will have some equity by rising their home value, then they will not give up the house

BB&T must be retail lenders not wholesale lenders. Wholesale lenders would be mortgage brokers who don't lend money, they just find banks who will. Look at the chart on this link and you can see who does what.
