Currently we have a 10 yr ARM with 3 years left on it. It's a jumbo loan of $469,000 with a monthly payment of $2500. When time is up we won't be able to afford to refi into a fixed rate mortgage. I feel that there are 2 choices: 1.) Refi into another affordable ARM, repeat as needed to stay in the home. 2.)Sell the house - Our home is in a nice area and is larger than most plus it has been completely remodeled so I estimate it would sell for $540,000 (before the bubble burst it was appraised at $700,00). We could move into my Dad's rental property which is in the same neighborhood. That would allow us to save a little money, the rent is a few hundred cheaper than our current mortgage and then not have to worry about mortgage issues. We have no debt, but we also have no savings. I really want to make the right decision this time! Thanks.

Our own people are suffering and Obama save the homes programs failed. What should come first illegals getting free college educations or helping out fellow Americans ?WASHINGTON — One in 10 American households with a mortgage is at risk of losing its home, and the foreclosure crisis could worsen if jobs remain scarce. About 9.9 percent of homeowners had missed at least one mortgage payment as of June 30, the Mortgage Bankers Association said on Thursday. That number, adjusted for seasonal factors, was barely down from a record-high of more than 10 percent as of April 30. The Labor Department said requests for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week. The drop in first-time claims to a seasonally adjusted 473,000 was the first decline in a month and a hopeful sign after a raft of dismal economic reports. Still, unemployment claims remain much higher than they would be in a healthy economy. Employers are reluctant to hire as economic growth appears to be slowing. The number of Americans who are missing payments and falling into foreclosure has followed the upward trend in unemployment. The jobless rate has remained near double digits all year. "Ultimately, the housing story, whether it is delinquencies, homes sales or housing starts, is an employment story," Jay Brinkmann, the Mortgage Bankers Association's top economist, said in a statement. "Only when we see a consistent increase in employment will we see an increase in sales and starts, and a sustained improvement in the delinquency numbers." More than 2.3 million homes have been repossessed by lenders since the recession began in December 2007, according to foreclosure listing service RealtyTrac Inc. Economists expect the number of foreclosures to grow well into next year. Besides forcing people from their homes, foreclosures and distressed home sales have pressured home values and crippled the broader housing industry. They have made it difficult for homebuilders to compete with the depressed prices and discouraged potential sellers from putting homes on the market. The housing market is struggling even as mortgage rates fell to the lowest level in decades for the ninth time in 10 weeks. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said the average rate for a 30-year fixed loan fell to 4.36 percent this week. Rates have fallen since the spring as investors, spooked by a slowing economy, shifted money into the safety of Treasury bonds. That has lowered the yields on long-term Treasurys. Mortgage rates tend to track those yields. The economy has grown for four straight quarters. But the pace has slowed from a 5 percent annual rate in last year's fourth quarter to 3.7 percent in the January-to-March period. It has weakened even further in the past several months. Many economists expect the government Friday to revise lower its growth estimate for the April-to-June quarter to below 2 percent. That's weak in normal times and even more worrisome after a steep recession. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/7172778.html

Hey, So in November 2008 I took out a 14 day trial of Orange Mobile Broadband (the USB Dongle) through Phones 4 U. I found, over the first 7 days, that I wasnt getting a very good reception. I took it back and got a replacement. This one got low reception too. I cancelled the trial on the last day. End of story, right? Well it should have been. However Orange apparently didnt receive the cancellation, and continued billing me. After the first bill I went into the Phones 4 U store and told them what had happened. They looked it up on their system - there it was, clear as day, cancellation date of 2nd December. I seem to remember they told Orange at this point, and said not to worry about it. So one reminder to pay this bill (threatening to disconnect and affect my credit rating) and one bill later (now owing > £38) I went back and complained again. Pretty much same thing happened. Eventually, one more reminder / threatening letter and bill later, I paid the bill and got paid back for it by Orange. End of story, or so I thought... A week ago I tried to apply for a credit card. It was turned down due to my credit report. I looked up my credit report and guess what? Orange had affected my credit report despite it not being my fault. I complained to Orange by email straight away and got a reply yesterday. I was told to write a letter to Experian (with a £2.50 cheque - yes Orange are telling me to pay to correct THEIR mistake!! What an insult!!). I signed up to Experian and in the FAQs I noticed it said to ask the organisation involved to correct data if its wrong. I wrote a stroppy reply back to Orange saying that I had been advised completely the opposite of what I should have done and threatened to go to OfCom if this is not fixed immediately. I got a reply back within about 15 minutes saying to write to Orange Credit Referral Debt with a copy of the "file" (assuming they mean a printout of the credit report). I really strongly feel that I should ask for compensation for the amount of stress they have caused over the past 22 months (thats right - a 14 day FREE trial is still affecting me 22 months on!!). My parents both feel different about it - they think I should just regard it as a lesson, get all the damage undone and move on. What do other people think? Should I ask Orange for some kind of compensation (like 10 months free on my £10 per month phone contract that I still have with them, or £100 cash or something), take them to court for damages to my reputation or just leave it and move on? Are there any Orange employees on here that could tell me what they may be able to offer in compensation? Please bear in mind that, if I hadnt tried to apply for a credit card, I couldve been refused for a mortgage, graduate overdraft, loan or any other finance I may need in the first few years of my working life. This could have affected me drastically, and still could if they dont pull themselves together and get something done about this soon... Many thanks in advance. Regards, Richard PS if anyone can think of a better category for this then please change it if you can...Up until February, since September 2006, I was on at least £30 a month contract. I tried to leave in Feb and they gave me an awesome contract for the same deal at £10 a month (£25 less than I was paying at the time). I doubt I'll get offered the same deal any time soon so I took it without even thinking about it. In the scheme of things, bearing in mind that on > £30 a month they have made > £1230 out of me, I think they owe me something as a loyal customer... I called customer services this morning - the woman first said to go to Phones 4 U, to which I marginly raised my voice and said it was Oranges fault, and Phones 4 U have had nothing to do with it since they paid off my bill. She said to go to Experian and pay £2.50 (that insulted me and is wrong anyway - I said so, but not too loudly). She then said to contact the referrals email address with my credit report. I did this and asked for a bit of compensation then. Finally getting somewhere. Will post any more updates on here.Helen - thanks for the advice but, thankfully, my situation is not THAT desperate. I have parents and brothers I can fall back on if I absolutely have to. Its more the principle that I want the compensation for - the fact that the situation could have been a lot worse, had I decided not to apply for that credit card after all (I was sat on the fence about it when I suddenly decided to press Submit!). I have enough to get by, but with that mark on my record I may not be able to get a place to live or get enough money to survive the first couple of months in my first job if it doesnt get fixed soon. Anyway someone from Experian is on the case too - we are both pestering Orange to do something about it. Hopefully get it sorted out this afternoon or by the end of the week at least. RichardThanks for the information Charterman - very very useful. I will use this as a large resort. In fact if they either dont fix it or they do fix it but dont give me any compensation I will drop him an email requesting compensation (maybe threaten to go to Ofcom or the Daily Mail unless I receive compensation for the stress caused and damages to my reputation - but that does sound a bit like blackmail, doesnt it?). I will give them until Tuesday (i.e. 5 working days after my last email) to put this right. I have an exam (my final one!!) on Tuesday so it kinda makes sense leaving it till then. Will post back here to let people know how I am doing.Ok, so I was revising for my exam but getting increasingly frustrated by this situation. So I have sent Tom Alexander an email explaining the situation and finishing it with something about having a contact in the Daily Mail who I may use if I am not satisfied by the outcome of the situation. I have also said that I WILL be leaving in that case - and nothing anyone can say or offer me at the time of leaving will change my mind. Just gotta hope he gets back to me soon. I have marked it as High priority and requested a read receipt. RichardWell I just had an interesting phone call - from Sam from Orange Executive Office. I wonder if they all have 3 letter names.. He was just checking on how things were going. I had an email this morning from Referrals saying that they had removed all details of that account from my credit record but, due to the nature of the problem and their t's and c's, they could not compensate me anything. I apologised in case I had come across as stroppy at all and explained that I am about to sit my final exam and I have been ill recently, so I have good reason to be stressed out. Sam gave me a phone number to go straight through to his desk should I have any more problems with this case. He said he completely understands if I am angry about the situation and that it shouldnt have happened, but that Phones 4 U are at fault. They refunded me £40 to go towards the phone calls I have had to make as a result of this, for being a loyal customer. Thanks all for the advice. Regards, Richard

Right now my credit score is 787. I'm really wanting to get an used car, 1 or 2 years old car with less than 30K miles so that it would last me for the next 10 years. Currently my car is at 115K miles and is 9 years old, AC is broken. Radio is broken. The door handle is broken (my side). But no money to get them fixed. At the same time I am in a not-so-good situation with my house. I put it up for short sale. And applied for loan modification. After reading different articles, and posts, I learned that I won't be getting approved for loan modification because I'm selling the house. Yes I AM planning to move out of the house, I MUST downsize, settling in an apt so that my budget would be better as soon as my student loans repayment start in February. I simply cannot afford the mortgage anymore (after 3 years). My mom (whose name is also on the house) cant afford it either so she's planning to move out too. So there's no way I'd stay and ride it out. Or get drown. I tried offering deed of lien and they told me to just wait for the decision from loan department. Well, I told them they will NOT help me because I'm already current! So fine, I'll just stop paying the mortgage because I really need the money for security deposit and apt, as well as moving expenses. I KNOW my credit will ding ..and ding.. as soon as I miss payments. It's a matter of time when my credit gets totally ruined. So I wonder if I should hurry and get an used car that is in excellent shape that would last me for the next 10 years with good interest rate because I won't be able to get a car once my credit shot down with the house being behind in payments and into foreclosure. NOTE: I live in Florida. Yeah I know and it sucks! And no I'm not renting out my house due to horror stories about damages and my mother and I simply do not have the money for repairs. I'd rather suffer by walking away with deed of lien IF short sale did not work out. The house isn't in a great shape, and the market isn't so good either so it makes selling this house very difficult. Please help, advise what should I do? I prefer finding a good car, and low payment like $200 or $250. That's all I can afford. I'm done paying $935 a month on the $105K house. And my balance I owe is $101K. It's crazy! Thanks so much.

I am willing to down 5 to 10 %. I am not sure if this is enough. How can I check with different banks and get there interest rates on 30 year fixed

I currently have two loans i have had the house for 4 years.One loan was adjustable the other wasn't,I had the first one changed to fixed for five years which i am in the second year. My problem lies with the second loan which is fixed at an astronomical rate. Of the 287.00 dollars i send them each month about 10.00 dollars goes toward the principal.There in lies the problem. It never goes down.I was already approved for a fixed rate conventional loan at the first of the year. But when i had my house appraised they said it was worth 10.000 less then what i payed which is ridiculous it is better then when i bought it with many improvements.They could not loan me more then my house is worth my two loans are more then then they said it was worth.I have excellent credit never been late with anything .If i cant get this resolved before the adjustable rate goes back into effect i will lose everything that i have worked for my whole life.How do i get an adjustment on the smaller loan they seem to refuse to help me i can get it payed down if more went to Principal.

We have a primary mortgage of 201,000 USD at 6.125% 5 year arm with 1.5 year left on the terms. We have a secondary mortgage of 39,000 USD at 4.125% variable interest rate. The house value is estimated at 211,000 USD. We have about 40,000 USD in our checking account and no savings. I will be going to school for a Physical Therapy program. My tuition fee for 3 years will be 40,000 USD. I am getting a fedral direct unsubsized loan at 6.8% with upto 10,000 USD disbursed each time starting this fall. My husband has a steady job and makes around 100,000 USD. How should we best manage our finances??? 1) Should we save the 40000 USD for my tuition and not take any of the 6.8% education loan? We will try to refinance to whatever best rate we can get under the Home Affordable Refinance program 2) Should we pay off the secondary mortgage with our checking account balance and refinance the primary mortgage 201,000 USD loan to a 30 year fixed 4.3%. This means we’ll have to take the 6.8% education loan atleast for the first 2 years (around 25000) and hopefully we’ll saved 15000 USD by the time its 3 year to pay off the remaing education tuition ? What do you think? Sincerely, JP

I don’t know a lot about mortgages, and I was hoping someone who did could help. I have currently a 30 year fixed at 6.25% that I got 2 years ago. It was an FHA as it was a starter home and we only had a little over 10% to put down. Now we are thinking of refinancing. A friend referred me to his mortgage broker who said we could do a FHA streamline and get a 30 year fixed at 5.00% with no closing costs. He said basically we are taking .25% higher rate than we could get with closing costs, but nothing would be rolled into the mortgage. All we would need is the money for the escrow while waiting for the refund from our current escrow. There are 2 things that are bothering me and I don’t know if I am being paranoid. First question we got a letter from the bank with our payoff balance, saying it would be 191k, which made sense it was a our principal plus basically one months interest. I emailed the brokers assistant to confirm this would be our new balance. The broker himself wrote back yes this would be our base loan. But I saw he was replying off a question from his assistant who said “I didn’t know how to respond to the question about $191K loan amount-we have it at roughly $195K with the 1003 showing roughly $4k to close.” But the broker said our loan amount isn’t increasing. We are suppose to close on Monday and I am worried I am missing something and upping my loan by about by 4k. My second question is our interest rate on 191k is dropping 1.25%. If you take 191,000.00 times .0125 and divide by 12 I get we should be saving about $200.00 a month, I realize this is a rough calculation. The broker has our mortgage payment decreasing only by about $150.00 a month. It doesn’t seem like it should be $50.00 off.

The loan started at 250k. How much would it be to pay off my loan in full at this point?

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-13/fannie-freddie-fix-expands-to-160-billion-with-worst-case-at-1-trillion.html The cost of fixing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage companies that last year bought or guaranteed three-quarters of all U.S. home loans, will be at least $160 billion and could grow to as much as $1 trillion after the biggest bailout in American history. Fannie and Freddie, now 80 percent owned by U.S. taxpayers, already have drawn $145 billion from an unlimited line of government credit granted to ensure that home buyers can get loans while the private housing-finance industry is moribund. That surpasses the amount spent on rescues of American International Group Inc., General Motors Co. or Citigroup Inc., which have begun repaying their debts. “It is the mother of all bailouts,” said Edward Pinto, a former chief credit officer at Fannie Mae, who is now a consultant to the mortgage-finance industry. Fannie, based in Washington, and Freddie in McLean, Virginia, own or guarantee 53 percent of the nation’s $10.7 trillion in residential mortgages, according to a June 10 Federal Reserve report. Millions of bad loans issued during the housing bubble remain on their books, and delinquencies continue to rise. How deep in the hole Fannie and Freddie go depends on unemployment, interest rates and other drivers of home prices, according to the companies and economists who study them.Does the tax payer have to eat all these losses??nancy...............Yes, I'm aware of that program that all top Democrats ALSO supported when it passed. What is your point exactly??

Hello everyone, Me and my girlfriend found what appears to be a great deal on a house, however neither of us have credit (both of us under 21), we have about $30,000 between us but would like to keep as much as possible in the bank. We found a house for about $50,000 that we are debating on, but are pretty sure that we would not get a mortgage given that she has only a year and a half on her current job and I am self employed with only 1 year. (doing good though!) We want to put 20% ($10,000) down and finance the other $40,000 over 20 year fixed rate. Both of our families would not be able to co-sign. An alternate option I just about was her boss (and my former boss, I left in good standing) likes to loan money with interest, and it just dawned on me that he would probably be interested in loaning us the amount to pay the house in full, and then re-pay him over the 20 years at the interest rate. What do you think we should do? I'm open to suggestions! P.S. As for the girlfriend thing, we plan on getting married but would like to have a house first in joint tenentship before we do. Thanks!

I am currently in a fixed 5.375% mortgage with 13 years, 2 months remaining. My home is worth $145k and I owe $77k on it. With rates currently around 4.25%, I am tempted to refinance for 10 years. My current Principle and interest payment is $718. My payment would go up about $75/month after such a refinance. Would I be better off to just pay an extra $75 a month on my current loan and apply the money that I would have to spend on the closing costs toward the principle of my current mortgage?

Hi, I currently have a fixed rate 1st mortgage @ 4.875% for 30 years. I also have a 2nd mortgage, a HELOC, that is an adjustable rate. It currently is at 6% and has been at that rate for over a year. if not longer. I am concerned about both inflation & defaltion and would liek to refi the 2nd mortgage, to get it into a fixed rate. However, all folks I talk to want to refi the 1st and the 2nd, which I am against doing. The 1st is a low rate and due to mistakes/issues by the mortgage broker last June, we did not pay any thing besides the pre-pays to get the 1st refi'd. However, he could not refi the 2nd because of the CLTV due to the lower appraisal we received. Now, comps are back up, the appraisal wil be higher, and our CLTV is low enough to refi again. But, I want to do just the 2nd, not the 1st. Our credit union will do the 2nd only but they only offer adjustable rate 2nds. I have always heard bad things about ARMs but the credit union's response is their ARMs are safe because they are tied to very stable 10-yr Treasury notes. Anybody have any thoughts on their claim? And, if I refi the 1st with them I can get a higher CLTV to deal, and always the ability to have a higher CLTV is good to counteract a low appraisal that is unexpected. But, their 1st's are also only adjustable tied to the 10-yr Treasury notes. Any thoughts on how good an ARM is tied to 10 yr notes? The costs are very low: $1k plus pre-pays, per loan. I would go to a 4.875% (currently) 2nd, and the 1st is at 4.625%. I know in the 1970's folks with a fixed rate mortgage made out great in the inflationary late 70's and early 80's/ so I like my 4.87% fixed. I believe we are headed for an inflationary period, but I am also concerned about deflation.HI, I either asked the wrong question or the details clouded my question. I know about comparing loans, etc., etc. What I want to know is what makes an adjustable rate mortgage that is tied to 10 year treasury notes any better than a an ARM that is normally offered by a bank or broker. My credit union's claim is that their ARM is safe because it is tied to 10 yr Treasury notes, whereas other ARMS are not, so stay away from those other ARMs. However, I have read and heard nothing but bad things about ARMs. So, I am trying to find information that will substantiate my credit unions claims or discount them, meaning their ARM is just as bad as any other ARM. Thanks.
