liquidity crisis: FHA mortgages vs Conventional mortgages.... which is better? - 03/29/08 01:16 PM
 

 
I know some loan officers will debate that conventional mortgages can be better than FHA mortgages, but I always thought that real numbers always outweighed opinion. Aren't real facts correct over opinion?  As long as these figures are accurate, right?
Yes, conventional mortgages are better if you have a credit score over 679 and if you have 15% down or more or 85% or less equity in your property. And we can get into more details, in regards to declining markets, monthly mortgage insurance, etc, etc. But let me just show you the basics and you can be … (22 comments)

liquidity crisis: FHA mortgages vs Conventional mortgages - A True 3% down Comparison - 02/06/08 08:00 PM

 
FHA mortgages, in my opinion, are still one of the best mortgage options out there, as long as your credit score is above 500 and that you can prove your income.
This is a continued series showing you that in many cases, FHA mortgages might be your best solution when purchasing or refinancing your mortgage.

But is it the best mortgage program for you?
As explained in previous blogs of … (14 comments)

The mortgage industry is changing right in front of us, basically on a monthly basis now. Which is why you need the advice of a mortgage professional and not an order taker. The word conventional mortgage doesn't mean that great rate or wholesome loan, that it did just several months ago. Don't be fooled by your typical loan officer or lender telling you otherwise.

liquidity crisis: Shop Shop, tisk tisk, oh what a relief it is? -- Mortgage shopping -- Part 1 of 2 - 08/21/07 08:30 PM

Just as easy it is for buildings to fall from demolition or that of a category 4 or 5 hurricane, so are mortgage companies falling by the waste side. Just two more large lenders closed their doors in the last two days, GreenPoint Mortgage of 20 years and First National Bank of Arizona. This makes for 130 lenders to close their doors since the end of 2006.
There is a company called the Mortgage Lender that runs a web site called the implode meter. This site uses their expertise in the mortgage industry, their knowledge, and lots of research in regards to … (12 comments)
