I have a middle FICO of 692, can I apply for a new home loan?
Yes you can! With the info you provided you will qualify for the home you are interested in with both of your incomes. I would suggest a conventional loan with a 10% down payment, but we can put together 2 different scenarios with conventional and FHA and see which has lower monthly payments for you. Of...

Can someone please explain the process of dropping the pmi when changing from a fha loan to a conventional loan?
If you have at least 20% equity in the property, a new conventional loan will not have mortgage insurance. If you have 5% or greater equity you can use LPMI, which is Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance on a conventional loan that will increase your interest rate a bit but eliminate traditional PMI. Your...

Lock in rates
It is typical to have to wait 30 days to lock in at current rates. It is not typical for the lender to have to extend your lock 4x unless there is something very unknown and unusual in your file or you were not cooperating in supplying requested documentation. Otherwise the rate should not have been locked...

Down payment needed for fha 203k when fico is 699?
With that credit score you might be better off with a Fannie Mae loan that is for that. It takes 5% down payment of the appraised value based on the improvements. The Mortgage Insurance will be less and you don't have the 1.75% added to your loan amount at the start. FHA is great for those with low credit, but if...

If person A cosigns any type of loan for person B, when the credit report of person A is pulled, will the report show that person A has cosigned?
Absolutely! They will be obligated on the loan the same as person B is. However, if person B pays that loan on time for 12 months and can document it, the financial obligation may not be considered in person A's debt ratios. If person B makes any late payments on the loan, it will show on person A's credit...

Why would someone choose to get a mortgage if they could just pay for the house in cash??
Well there are several points involved. 1. It might put them into a category that they can take Schedule A tax deductions and save on taxes. 2. You can't buy groceries, etc. with the equity in your home. Unless you have ample funds to support yourself, including any emergency condition, after paying cash for...

Construction Loan after bankruptcy
Well a construction loan is not a Conventional loan so it up to the lender. On a Conventional Loan it is 7 years unless it was a Chapter 13. On an FHA it is 4 years. However, there might be a portfolio subprime lender that can do a construction loan. My guess is it would be at least 30% down payment though. But, if...
