I have a 614 score. Owe 52,000 on home worth 115,000. Twelve years into a 30yr fixed at 7.0%. Can I get refinanced to a 15yr fxd?
A score under a 620 will keep you from being able to secure a Conventional Refinance, however, the rates on an FHA Refinance would cut your rate in half. With an FHA loan, you will have a monthly mortgage insurance premium, but with the drastic reduction in rate, it would still be of a significant benefit...

I am eligable for a VA loan, but my wife has a judgment on her credit. Can I get a loan without paying off the judgment?
Any judgments that show up on a credit report must be satisfied before getting a mortgage loan. Have you tried to see if your income alone could qualify you to buy a home with your VA benefits?

For home improvements, is it better to take a loan from a small bank or refinance my mortgage?
Cecilia, it depends on your overall scenario. If your current mortgage is a high interest rate, or maybe you'd like to also lower the payment, then refinancing as a cash out might make sense. If not, a Home Improvement Loan at a credit union here in Austin may be best. I know some contacts at a few I could...

My credit is a 607 but i paid off 2 items in collections this past week my wife's is a 719 who will approve us for 162
Thanks for your inquiry, Josh. First off, paying off collection accounts actually does nothing at all to your credit score. Credit bureaus score the number of collections, not their balances. Your only way to improve credit with collections is to get the collector to agree to remove or delete it....

I received an inheritance and i was wondering how i can go about paying down my principal mortgage balance?
James,As far as I know, there's no reason why you couldn't just make a larger principal-only payment on your existing mortgage loan. However, if you do have a large amount sitting around, you may want to consider a refinance that puts that large amount down, which would in effect lower your mortgage...

John, that is really going to depend on your situation and some other variables. Texas will let you take out up to 80% of the appraised value of your primary residence for whatever reasons you choose. This type of loan will give you a lump sum of cash to make the improvements as you see fit. Depending on what...

Willing to owner finance until buyer improves credit score. What can be done to improve credit score faster?
Thanks for the question, Greg. There are two options for you if you're trying to sell this home. The first thing that I would do is to have the Buyer see if he can qualify under our Low FICO FHA Program, which will let me do credit scores down to a 560. Otherwise, once I have their credit report, I can run a credit...

Can i use my mother as a co-signer on my va home loan?
Scott, VA Loans will only allow a co-borrower if they are your spouse, your fiance, or if your Mother is a Veteran as well. Would she be occupying the home with you? If so, then a USDA Loan would be an option, depending on how much you make and where you're looking to buy.Call or email me when you get a sec and I...

More of often than not that is correct. It also helps if the Mechanic's Lien is dated for the same date as the original Mortgage Lien.

Any lenders who will do a manual underwrite on a conventional Loan?
It depends on the reason for the 'Refer' designation. Can you elaborate as to the reason the file isn't passing the automated underwriting system? If you'd like, you can contact me by the phone or email listed on my profile.

Do i have to pay PMI on FHA loan if I have 20% equity?
Liz, the MI premiums on FHA Loans, both purchase and refinances, will be there for at least the first 11 years of your loan. If you have an existing FHA Loan and now have that 20% equity, it may benefit you to refinance to a Conventional Loan and drop that MI. If you want a Texas lender that can help you out,...

What is the average closing time for a va home loan with a 640 credit score in TX?
Ron, it's going to depend on who you use as a lender. The appraisal is what takes longest ans usually takes about a week. The rest is processing and underwriting turn times. I can tell you that as a Texas-based mortgage bank with all of that in-house, we close the majority of our purchase in less than 21 days....
