- 08/09/11 06:37 AM
One of the most common questions i have been asked recently is "HOW DO I KNOW IF I CAN GET A MORTGAGE GIVEN TODAY'S Real Estate MARKET?"

STAY AWAY from the internet lenders. A good local loan officer will pre-qualify you at no cost. They will look at your credit score but more importantly your whole financial picture. This includes your credit report, current income, debt and employment history. … (8 comments)

manchester nh: Foreclosure mediation program sees limited success. Changes are set to increase help for those facing foreclsoure
- 07/28/11 02:35 AM
Foreclosure mediation program sees limited success just 18 months into it's start. Out of 102 cases in 18 months only 14 reached settlements. Because NH is a non judicial state which means teh court does not have to hear the foreclosure case, the program has been voluntary and lenders have been slow to participate.Things do look like they are changing though as judges are now ordering court ordered mediation on both parties. If a borrower asks the court for an injunction putting off the foreclosure, if the judge agrees the borrower meets the standards for granting an injunction, the jusdge can refer … (0 comments)
