We bought our home in 2006 for $696K with a $140K down payment at a 6.75% interest rate, and have just made interest only payments for 5-1/2 years. Our loan was not purchased by Fannie or Freddie because at that time it was a jumbo loan. The value right now is $480K to $495K. Is there any possible for us to refinance now into a loan with an interest rate in the high 3s or low 4s? by jazluv_899_644 from Irvine, California. Dec 30th 2011
$696,000 - $140,000 = $556,000 and you say the home is worh $495,000 at most? Unforunatly it appears you owe more than the house is worth, currently, or a 112.33% loan to value, at a best case senario and therefor there is no non Fannie or freddie products that are available at that loan to value.The short answer is No.
Yes you have options available for refinancing. Feel free to call us today and we can go over your possible options.Austin S.949-229-1652
The only way I can see is if you come in with cash to be within acceptable guidelines or should you have enough liquidable assets to be held by the lender although you still are in control. You may see information on this "pledged asset" program on my website. Best wishes for a happy new year.Happy funding, Rudi
Because your loan was not purchased by Fannie/Freddie, it is likely you are not eligible for a refinance because you apparently owe more than the current value of your home. However, because your loan was an interest only loan, it is extremely likely your current lender will consider refinancing you into a 30 year fixed rate loan. My advice would be to contact them.
