refinance: Refinance Now! Low, Low Rates! - 05/01/07 08:35 PM
I was just getting my nightly dose of online news when I saw the following on MSN.com's homepage:
Offer: $425k Loan for $1,417/mo. Refi and lower payments by $400/mo. NO SSN REQUIRED!
Now, what really got me was the claim that you can refi and lower payments without providing your social security number...really? Know what happened when I clicked on the link? You guessed it...LendingTree and their QuickMatch program. They advertise that this quick process will allow you to compare up to 5 loan offers from hundreds of lenders nationwide...without providing your social security number!
Now I guess I know why people keep … (7 comments)

refinance: Stop Foreclosure! We Buy Houses Cash! Close in 7 Days! - 04/20/07 09:08 AM

refinance: Cash-Out Refi, Sub-550 Scores, Self-Employed. Not happening, right? Wrong. - 04/13/07 10:52 PM
I feel really good about something I worked on this week. Really, really good.
A woman called my office last week after getting my number from a past client that she works with. This woman was nearly desperate to refinance because she and her husband were beginning to get behind on their credit card payments.
