Mortgage Finance Experts: How will the market affect homeowners who will be refinancing next year?

Posted by , under Renting & Real Estate

Kate373 asked:

My parents bought their home 4 years ago at a 4% rate, which is due to change next year when their loan rate. With the market crunch and the new strict lending that’s bound to occur as a result of this, they are worried about what refinancing has in store for them. The good news is that they have flawless credit (they successfully removed their PMI, and they are early every month on their mortgage payments —and they pay an extra couple of hundred dollars than they should. Not to mention their credit card debt is very low (only a couple of thousand dollars). They’ve both been at their great paying jobs for over a decade; but they are still worried about whether they will be able to secure a decent fixed rate when their mandatory refinance is up. Any hope?

How Do I Not get Ripped Off By a Mortgage Broker?

Posted by , under Renting & Real Estate

Pam asked:

I am looking at buying a co-op. I was given the number of a mortgage broker but I have read mixed reviews about using one. What should I look for in a good mortgage broker and what should I spot in one that is trying to take advantage of me. I know that I want a 30-years fixed rate mortgage and I have a good credit history. What question should I ask the broker and what is the process of working with them?

Is there a way to avoid paying outrageous PMI if you plan to finance 100% of a new home?

Posted by , under Renting & Real Estate

Anj asked:

My husband and I are planning to purchase a new home in the next couple of months. I know that traditionally, without 20% down payment, banks require you to pay PMI. While I understand the bank’s perspective on this, as a buyer – it seems like money thrown to the wind every month.
My husband has impeccable credit, so we can get a good interest rate. We just aren’t in a position to put 20% down at this time. I have heard about 80/20 loans, but I am not sure if that is a better option. I am only intrested in a 30 year fixed rate mortgage – no ARM! Do I have any other options other than PMI???

Mortgage Insurance Question?

Posted by , under Renting & Real Estate

SB1976 asked:

I bought my house five years ago. I’ve got a 30 year fixed rate at 5.5%. My mortgage company is Well’s Fargo. Every month, in addition to my payment, I pay into an escrow account plus $50.00 for mortgage insurance. Can somebody tell me exactly what this “mortgage insurance” is. My credit rating has been above 800 for years and years and I have a bank draft for my payment and have never been late making a payment. So why do I have to pay an extra fifty a month for this mortgage insurance?
