Refinancing and Home-Equity Loans

I have a brand new $620,000 house that I built. I have a balance of 155,000 on my construction loan and I would like to get up another 25,000 for a total of 180,000.

Gustan Cho wanted me to post my case scenario on GCA Forums for Cameron LeClair of The Lender. Have a case scenario in Oregon. Have a manufactured home on 26 acres. Value of land and manufactured home is $800,000. Owe $260,000. Looking for rate and term refinance. Primary residence. Home is listed two months ago because wanted to sell and move elsewhere but I rather do a rate and term refinance and take it off the market. Disability and pension income. $4,000 month. Maybe could be grossed up.

Thank you.

High Debt-to-Income Ratio but under refinance. Want to use all money to pay off debt. Would this work for approval of Bankruptcy w/Foreclosure 24 months ago?

FHA streamline with credit score in the low 500’s, is it possible? I have an excellent mortgage payment history.

What type of documents is requrired for an FHA and VA streamline refinance? Why am I being asked to provide these documents if they are not required for a Streamline Refinance?

Would I be eligible for a cash out refi with 80% equity in my home and a 580 credit score?

Appraisal came in short at $210,000. Needed $225,000. Manufactured Home. Need 80% LTV cashout refinance to retire debts but appraisal shortage value need to explore HELOC with 90 CLTV. Any know who has the best rate and term. First mortgage is $30,000.

I have an existing loan with low balance. I have a low credit score. Around 587. Can you do a manual underwrite for that on a cash out refinance? I am married but I am the only one on the mortgage.

I live in Texas. Does your company offer loans on manufactured or modular homes using a VA loan? I own my home outright. 100% equity. Would like to do a cash out refinance for some upgrades.

I HAVE AN FHA LOAN THAT I WANT TO CASH OUT REFINANCE.

Does anyone know what non-qm lender can do a Cash-Out Refinance in Texas to buy out Chapter 13 Bankruptcy? The borrower has a VA loan now and would like to do a VA cash-out Refinance, but Texas has those crazy rules: you cannot do cash-output Refinance on government loans. Thank you.

How do I apply for a VA Streamline Refinance?

is there a way to cash out refinance 2 properties I own? the first property is worth around $69k is paid off and bought it 2 years ago. the second property is worth around $68k bought that property on November of last year with a loan. those properties are occupied by tenants. do you guys know if I can cash out refi each property with that amount or can use both properties at the same time with a blanket mortgage?

I know that you can only do a Streamline Refinance on either an FHA loan or VA loan with no appraisal or income documents. Credit scores are uses to price out the FHA or VA STREAMLINE REFINANCE. Are you eligible for an FHA Streamline Refinance or VA STREAMLINE REFINANCE if you have a non-forgiveable Down Payment Assistance (DPA) second. So, my question is if I can do an FHA Streamline Refinance or VA STREAMLINE REFINANCE and subordinate the DPA second mortgage because I am stuck with the second mortgage DPA for a ten year term before it becomes forgivable. Thank you.

Can you do an FHA streamline refinance multiple times? What if you do a FHA streamline refinance now at 6.0% from the current mortgage rate you have at 7.25% and rates drop to 5.0%. Can you do another FHA streamline refinance over and over again?

Considerations For Refinancing:

Good Timing: Given recent drops in mortgage rates, now may be ideal. Therefore, FHA/VA Streamline Refinances could also apply here since they require little paperwork and no appraisal, making them easy options for homeowners wishing for fast rate reductions.

Possibility Of Multiple Refinances Over Time If Rates Keep Falling: Generally speaking, homeowners should expect lenders to allow multiple refinancings when lower mortgage rates continue falling, so long as each time meets lender standards and fees payable upon every occasion if necessary.

Current Mortgage Rates:

• 30-Year Fixed 6.49%.
• FHA 30-Year Fixed 6.18%.
• VA 30-Year Fixed 5.91%.
• 15-year fixed rate=5.58%​.

These changes are meant to increase transparency and fairness during real estate transactions. Home buyers need to understand these new laws and their corresponding agents for smooth operation within the industry towards compliance issues avoidance.

How do you figure out what debt to pay off first. Home prices are at historic highs and many homeowners have the opportunity to do a cash-out refinance from the equity in their homes. However, there are instances where the proceeds from the cash-out refinance will not be enough to pay all outstanding debts of the borrower. So, if that is the case, what debt should you always pay off first. What are the three biggest strategies for paying down debt. Should I pay the debt with the highest monthly payment first?
