mortgage loans: The Motrgage Loan Mess Around - 03/13/10 02:55 PM
Here's the scoop.
I have a client who has put in a contract to buy a $350,000 home.  He's putting down $150,000 plus the closing costs, thus borrowing $200,000.  The home he and his wife currently live in is in a nearby city, it's paid for and they don't want to sell it.  They're buying the new home to live in...in Texas talk, to be their new "homestead."
