Washington Mortgage Law?
No, you do not. If you need to use the income from her job to qualify then you will. If you qualify with your own income and you are going to use conventional financing you will be fine just with your credit and have her on title. FHA is different. VA you will need to qualify with her debt and her credit situation,...

Should I Shop Around
Yes! I use to work for a bank and the rates were up to 1/2% higher which is huge! The second most important thing is the fees they are charging you for your rate or loan. I am a broker and have no employees and little overhead, so it allows me do charge less and offer superior rates and service. It will be one of...

Hello, we are currently looking to by a home. The home needs some updates but, we are being told that the lender (s) no longer allow for repair credits by the seller at closing? This is something new. How do you get new carpet or replace out dated forms after closing?
Depending on the amount of the repairs and what they are this can be done. Since the market has alot of inventory where the majority of the houses on the market are foreclosures with work to be done the banks have programs to help. Give me a call and I can help you out. Take care,Kyle...

Is it possible to refinance a second mortgage that has been an interest only without affecting the first mortgage?
BECU or Key bank will do the 2nd's with no fees and you have the option to locking it at a low fixed rate at any time with no fee. I could look at refinancing the 1st and 2nd together, but only if it would benefit you. Take care,Kyle StancatoBayview Home Loans253-460-6000

We did not want to end up with a super jumbo loan which would come out to $800,000. We have been making accelerated payments on the first and when we took out the second we had planned to have it paid off within two years. Unfortunately, the job we had earmarked for the second delayed and postponed the project.

Is a loan modification as bad as a foreclosure on my credit? If so, should I even bother. My lender is not being cooperative at all and I am late on payment.
It depends if you have equity in the home. If you do, you should sell. If you dont, but you want to stay at the home I would talk to a bankruptcy attorney and have them talk to you about your options. Now that you are late on your mortgage your credit scores will drop fast. Once you have been late for 4 months in a row...

Should I Pay Points?
See how much it is going to cost. EX: if you have a loan amount of $400,000 and they want to charge you 1.5 points(1.5% of the loan amount) that would be $6000 and it will save you $150 per month than that means it will save you about $1800 per year, that means it will take about 3.5 years to make it back before you...

Using my title as collateral for new loan
You could do a cash out refinance of your current condo and use that cash to buy the new condo or put money down on it. If the condo they are looking at is a Fannie Mae owned property you could put 10% down and have no PMI, no appraisal and buy it as an investment property for them and gain the right-offs. Hope...

How much do i save up to avoid PMI? Are there loan options available below 20% of the mortgage. Should i keep saving if i\'m around 15%
20% is normal, but they have several programs where they role the MI into your interest rate. Another words, if today the best rate was 3.875% on a 30 year fixed putting 20% down it might be 4.25% if you only put 15% down and 4.5% if you put only 10% down and 4.875% if you put only 5% down. It becomes part of your rate...
