Loan Modification Principle Reduction

We’ve been a lot of loan modifications lately. We do a lot of evaluations and negotiate a lot of case files. Now, we work with a lot of very nice folks that are grateful when they receive some relief from their housing payment while getting them current and out of default. Whew!..huge mouthful..

Often, because of the market, people feel that they’re entitled to a principle reduction and fortunately, on occasion, we are able to accommodate. But way more times than not, especially when their servicer is Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Indy Mac, GMAC or Chase, it doesn’t happen. Some people are only interested if we can negotiate a reduction on their principle balance and if they don’t get it, they bail from their home. In some cases, these are the same people who back in the housing glory days, cash-out refinanced their equity to consolidate their consumer and credit card debt or whatever else like there wouldn’t be any consequences. To these folks I ask, back when your house was appreciating 15-30% every year, did your bank call you and ask to increase your balance because of the market?

Cash Out for the Holidays

Look to us for your holiday needs. Get cash out to consolidate credit cards, or remodel your home. We can help you meet their financial goals om that we do offer fixed rates, arms, and 1st and 2nd lien Home Equity Lines of Credit.

There are a lot of reasons to do a Cash Out Refinance. The most common reason is to consolidate debt, in particular, credit card debt. For most Americans, holiday shopping and mounting credit card debt are synonymous.
Not only are mortgage interest rates much lower, but almost as significant is the difference in the nature of the interest. Mortgage interest is simple interest where as credit card interest is revolving compounding interest, huge difference. With credit card interest, the interest is calculated every month on the new balance that includes the new interest from the previous month. So basically, you’re paying interest on interest.
Of course this isn’t an invitation to charge up all your cards for things you don’t really need and then sink it into your home, but if you happen to have a lot of consumer debt from all the holiday shopping you had to do, we can help.

Spend wisely and have a happy and credit card debt free new year!

Asset Depletion Helps Qualify More Borrowers

This Asset Utilization Loan Program is designed for a high net worth borrower. It allows the applicant that has significant liquid assets to use those assets as income for qualifying purposes. We have developed an income calculation that can be used to determine the qualifying income. Asset Utilization is available on the Jumbo ARM loan program for the 5, 7 and 10 year ARM product. This is only available for the 30 year amortization and is not at this time available with the interest Only ARMs.

We all know that the mortgage debacle has hurt all the self employed borrowers of this great county. It has stunted the housing economy and we believe that there should be good loans for good borrowers. Our underwriter will use this program to help with the debt to income by 5% for the 30 year amortization jumbo product

This is a Great Product for the Retired or Self Employed Borrower seeking to capitalize on their assets for income to qualify. Borrowers with a salaried income can use the asset depletion in addition to your wages to help qualify you for more borrowing power!

  • O/O cash out LTV/TLTV/HTLTV reduced from 90% to 85% (doesn’t really affect us as we can’t get MI over 80% anyway)
  • 2nd Home cash out – eliminated
  • N/O/O purchase and rate/term LTV/TLTV/HTLTV reduced from 90% to75% for 1-2 units
  • 6 month’s mortgage payment seasoning required for cash out refinance of original purchase money loan for all Agency products

  • Continuity of obligation –
    • Loans with an acceptable continuity of obligation may be underwritten and priced at normal LTV/TLTV/HTLTV.  They have added the situation where a borrower is not on the mortgage, but has been on title 12(+) months and has either made the mortgage payment directly for 12(+) months or can demonstrate a relationship to the current obligor as an acceptable continuity of obligation.
    • If there is not an acceptable continuity of obligation then loan must be underwritten and priced as cash out, borrower must be on title 6 months minimum and max LTV/TLTV/HTLTV is 50%.

Great News MI still available to 95%
