Can you answer a few questions regarding home refinance?

1. I'm almost finished with a chapter 13 bankruptcy which will discharge my 2nd & 3rd mortgage. This should leave me at least break even equity wise. I am current on my primary mortgage and never been late. Mortgage is about 7 years old at about 5%. Is it possible to refinance now ?2.Or wait till BK is complete ? by billvista from Lancaster, California. Apr 24th 2013 Reply

There's' just so much info missing it's hard to say, but in general, we would need to know which type of loan you currently have, and when it was originated... FHA? VA? USDA? Conventional?? each have different guidelines.. but because of the recent BK, and having 2 mortgages discharged (2nd & 3rd), if those mortgages show "settled for less" then you might need to wait 2 to 3 years before applying... if your current loan is FHA, then you might be able to streamline refi once your BK is discharged,,, but again, so much info is missing, I just cant answer your question.. .. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

Wait. You may find it difficult to refi, due to the BK. Your current rate of 5%, is historically low, even with the lower rates available with good credit.

Your BK does need to be complete.

I would need more information to see if it even made sense to refi. With your rate at 5% I would say that it may not be worth it. Need to know loan size, etc.
