Mortgage on a house fully paid
Yes, the amount that you can request the loan to be for is less with 2nd homes or investment properties, versus your primary residence. You would still need to qualify for this loan as well as your other debts (mortgages, installments, credit cards). Call me to discuss 512-807-2951.

New to investment properties, help!
Hello From Austin, Texas. The maximum "Loan To Value" (LTV) in Texas, is 80% on your primary residence. So if your home is worth $315,000 and you have $60,000 of equity, then you are already at the maximum LTV on your primary residence. You are on the right track, but if the $315k were $415k, then...

I own a home with no mortgage and I want a fixed rate HEL should my bank be pushing me to get a HELOC instead?
The mortgage industry is shying away from HELOC's in 1st lien position. It'd be easier to structure your loan as follows - let's say that you wanted $100,000 - but you know that you will always be using $60,000, but you'd like an extra $40,000 for your variable needs. So we would...

Interest rates up front? Any way to fix that?
Hello from Austin, Texas - we used to live in Schaumburg. Refinance? If you look at the total payment (PITI), it is cheaper to pay the 23-24 days of interest than a whole August payment. If yo uwaited to close your loan until August 28th and have 2 days of interest, you'd then have to make your August...

Is it possible to rent out my home (with an underwater mortgage) and still qualify for a mortgage on a new home?
Most occupancy affadavits require that you have lived in your "Primary Residence" for a year after you refinanced or bought the home (that you wish to now rent), so if you are after the "year + 1 day" => then purchasing a new home and renting the other one is do-able. Call me to...

What money can be used to pay for closing costs etc. when purchasing a house?

I had a young couple - and they closed for FREE - the Seller paid ALL of their closing costs AND they had $100 left over to get their carpets cleaned / all they came in with was their...

Home equity loan with good credit but hight debt ratio
You are actually closer than you think / it is all in the math. I would have 2 concerns: your credit / and your new debt to income ratio, as the new loan to value would ideally require the appraisal to come in more like $110,000-$120,000 to make this work. Ideally - if you have a 660 credit score => then you...

I must move 65 miles away. Should I rent or buy a duplex which will help me cover a mortgage payment?
I'd recommend getting a feel for the area first. I commuted and stayed with a couple from a local church for $300 a month and that included everything (internet, all expenses). I was even privileged to be invited for dinner. Every day after work 430-500pm, I would scout the area based upon what my new...
