MORE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LOW RATES - 01/31/12 09:39 AM
“More First Time Home Buyers Take Advantage of Low Rates”
Last week, I did 9 preapprovals for first time home buyers. What a great sign for future home sales. 7 out of the 9 future homeowners were referred by Realtors. The other two I was able to refer to a Realtor.
Here is another good sign, I also spoke to a number of folks, that were not yet qualified for a mortgage. I am now working with each of them to either get better credit scores, getting bad information off their reports, getting 1-2-3 secured credit cards so that they can build new … (2 comments)

MORTGAGE MELTDOWN PROBE BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION? - 01/31/12 09:28 AM
“Mortgage Meltdown Probe by the Obama Administration?”
This was brought up during the State of the Union address. Why now? You know why. What has been going on for the last three years? This sure does make good press in an election year.
 

I wonder if the rating agencies that rated subprime securitizations as triple A bonds will be looked at? One of which lowered the rates of the United States of America. How about AIG, that was bailed out by the FED, that placed policies on many of these securitizations, that they would pay if these mortgages … (1 comments)

MORE TRUTHS ABOUT FHA MORTGAGES GOING FORWARD? - 01/30/12 07:46 AM
“More Truths About FHA Mortgages Going Forward?”
On any given day, depending on who is writing it. The messages are diametrically opposite.
A previous blog I wrote, quoted a paragraph by an FHA executive, indicating that the underwriting rules will become more strict in the next few months. You would think, coming from FHA directly, that is the way it is going to be, however when you read the article below, you get a completely different message.

The article is very clear and even references the Obama administration supporting expanding FHA risk.
Every time, I think I have … (6 comments)

MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES TO REMAIN AT THESES LEVELS - 01/30/12 07:25 AM
“Mortgage Interest Rates to Remain at These Levels”
 
Article after article continues to indicate, interest rates will continue at these levels for the next couple of years. The concern that I always have, when everybody is saying the same thing, that is when I become the most cautious.
 
Having said that, mortgage rates are at historic lows. First time home buyers are able to find home and many end up with a mortgage payment, below what they are paying for rent.

STATE OF THE UNION AND REFINANCING AN UNDERWATER MORTGAGE - 01/27/12 09:09 AM

Over the past two days, after the State of the Union address, I have asked a dozen of my lenders to translate the new directive and how this will affect my clients that want to refinance a mortgage that is “UNDERWATER”. To a person, all said they didn’t have a clue and would have wait until more information comes from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

SELLER CONCESSIONS TO BE REDUCED ON FHA LOANS - 01/27/12 09:06 AM
 
It was just a matter of time. This reduction in allowable seller concession has been mentioned for months, it is getting closer to reality. Today, as seller can pay a buyer’s closing costs and escrows, up to 6%. They haven’t finalized how much reduction and when it will start.
 
Fortunately, I don’t recall a 6% seller concession transaction for a long, long time. Most of them that I see are 3-4%, so I’m not sure it will have a dramatic effect, but it will hurt some buyers.

APPRAISER GUIDANCE REGARDING DISTRESSED VALUATIONS - 01/26/12 08:37 AM

The appraiser world feels that they are being wrongly blamed for any decline in real estate values. We see 100 appraisals a month and can certainly speak from real life experiences. When there is an appraisal issue and we look closely at the values, the comparables that are used are very often the root of the problems.

I know that most appraisers to a really good job, they don’t go out of their way to come up with the lowest possible value. However, AI speaks to the issue about using comparables that are distressed … (19 comments)

The example below uses a 7% interest rate, but that is just for example purposes. It explains the effect over the life of a mortgage.
At interest rates, at these historic lows, it doesn’t make any sense to prepay your mortgage, but not everyone can get these low rates. Many folks can’t refinance, maybe because of credit or the existing mortgage doesn’t qualify for the HARP program.
There are lenders and companies that offer the ability to prepay your mortgage. One way or another you are paying a fee to do it. … (2 comments)

This is certainly a case of the horse has already left the barn. You talk about mixed signals. For the last month, there have been numerous articles about the heads of FHA wanting lenders to do more loans. These articles were saying that lenders should lower the credit scores, so more loans can be done. Yet, last week they informed lenders that the tougher rules and guidelines are being implemented.
 
The lenders are reacting already, as we are getting notices about these tough guidelines. Other lenders that we … (4 comments)

MAJOR BANK GETS OUT OF REFINANCE BUSINESS - 01/23/12 08:50 AM

The surprising part about the story of B of A, saying they are stopping any refinance loans that involve any cash out, as part of the transaction. It makes no sense, they indicate, it is only 18% of its refinance business. There should be a surge in refinance business with interest rates in the 3’s. Actually, a lot of what B of A does, make no sense.

Here was a 6' plus imposing figure of a man, when asked why have you not refinanced before this, he answered “THE PROCESS SCARES ME TO DEATH”.

I’ll share an example. I did a mortgage for a client in South Kingston RI. The purchase price was $230,000. As luck would have it, the appraisal came in at $230,000. All is good.

The MBA says that in a recent survey 80% of potential homebuyers think it’s a good time to buy, however 8% think it’s a good time to sell. Here is the truth, many folks that are selling, are doing so because they have no choice.

THE CREDIT SCORE EFFECT FOR CONVENTIONAL LOAN REFINANCES AND PURCHASES - 01/19/12 09:03 AM
“The Credit Score Effect for Conventional Loan Refinances and Purchases”
 
Why is it, that the folks that can least afford additional cost on a mortgage, end up paying the higher freight? So far, borrowers that are doing non-conventional mortgages don’t have higher fees, but depending on the equity or down payment there may be monthly mortgage insurance. In spite of the monthly mortgage insurance and the lower interest rate, it may still be less expensive in the long run.
 
If these costs and fees on conventional loans increase, don’t be surprised if a privatized mortgage model shows up in … (0 comments)

ARTICLE SAYS BANKS HAVE INCREASED LENDING - 01/17/12 09:14 AM
“Article Says Banks Have Increased Lending”
Not so much. There has been an outcry for lower credit scores to be acceptable by lenders, so more buyers can come into the market place. There is a huge backlog of borrowers that have under 620 credit scores, that want to own a home. They have sufficient income, good jobs and down payments. There is a stigma, that these are the borrowers that caused the housing crisis, maybe some, but most never owned a home before. Most of them would make outstanding homeowners and would turn a surplus of investor housing into owner occupied homes.

We have been in the reverse mortgage business for many years and will continue, as long as there is someone to buy these mortgages. So far so good, there are still ample buyers available to us. All of them keep telling us, they are here to stay.

Many states are bogged down, as a result of the robo signing fiasco. There are foreclosures that we started up to 3 years ago, that are just plain not going through the court systems.

FHA WANTS CREDIT SCORES RELAXED-STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHY? - 01/12/12 09:40 AM

For over two years, many of us in the mortgage and real estate business have been saying, that to get more folks into homes, credit scores need to be lowered and regulations relaxed.
For nearly two years FHA has been saying they want to slow down the number of loans that they do. Guess what, they got their wish.

Now they say, we are not doing enough loans and that more lenders need to offer FHA loans at lower credit scores. There are a couple of reasons. First, there … (1 comments)
