1% Down Payment FHA Loan – AKA National Stabilization Program

July 13, 2009

1% Down Payment FHA Loan – AKA National Stabilization Program

I have heard from more than one local Realtor that many mortgage professionals are telling them that there is a new FHA Loan that only requires only a 1% down payment. I have good news and bad news. First the bad: FHA has not changed their guidelines recently, they still require a 3.5% down payment. Now the good. FREE money. Money that I am pretty sure many, many people out there can … [Read more...]

President Obama Says It Is Time To Refinance

April 10, 2009

One of my good friends (and uber-smart, I'm-lucky-to-know-her-type-of-person) originally posted this on Zillow's mortgage blog, and since she said it so well... I figured that there was no need for me to re-say it. Thanks Mary! Speaking from the White House today, President Obama urged homeowners to refinance.  Mortgage rates are at historical lows, and the government’s new Making Home … [Read more...]

Making Home Affordable Plan

March 4, 2009

Earlier today, the details were released about the "Making Home Affordable" plan outlined by the Obama administration. When this plan was first announced by President Obama here in Mesa a few weeks ago, my first reaction was "let's wait for the details". My reaction now the "details have been released"? I don't know. Really. I really don't have an opinion on whether or not the plan … [Read more...]

No Closing Costs vs No Out Of Pocket Closing Costs

Closing costs. Due to some very slick marketing by the mortgage industry, many people know that "closing costs are bad" and that they don't want to pay them. They aren't exactly who is going to pay them, but they know that they don't want to. Here is an ad that I came across from Countrywide. Does this add say "no closing costs"? No. It says "No Cash Required For Closing Costs." - … [Read more...]

The FHA Streamline Program: Skip A Payment?

January 13, 2009

I was speaking with someone today about the FHA streamline program and they asked me the following question: "When I go through the streamline program, do I get to skip a payment?" To which I replied: "Technically, you are allowed to defer a payment when you participate in the FHA streamline program, but we officially can't call it a skipped payment".

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
