How can I refi an investment property with less than 20% LTV?

Hi,I am trying to refinance an investment property.We originally had 20% equity but that's no longer the case because of the drop in value. I'm assuming HARP is my best option.I tried the company who owns the current loan (it's a Fannie Mae loan) but the best rate they could quote was 4.375 and very high closing cost. I'm hoping that there's better options out there.We currently are on an ARM which has started to adjust. I would like to get a fix rate or at least get a few more years of fix rates. I don't want to worry what the payments are going to be every year.Does anyone know of any lender who could do this loan? or does anyone know any other options outside of HARP that could work for us?Credit is mid 700's and debt income ration is not an issue. by mlarou_585_604 from Portland, Oregon.

If your loan is HARP eligible, HARP is going to be your only viable route. Unfortunately in today's rate environment on a Rental property, the rates are going to be in the low 4s, but if you have an 80% LTV, there should not be a lot of costs. Starting with your bank was the problem. They think they can get away with gouging you and most people just suck it up and take the gouging. I always tell people "DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT start with you current bank. Instead, work with a Local Licensed Mortgage Professional. You can find one here at Lender411 or you can find a Licensed and Certified Loan Originator at the National Association of Mortgage Professionals. Members adhere to a strict code of ethics.

Hello, Yes if your loan is owned by Fannie Mae and meets the HARP requirements, then we should be able to lower the interest rate considerably lower than 4.375%, and in some cases be able to receive an "appraisal waiver" meaning you wouldn't have to pay for an appraisal upfront. We are licensed in the state of OR and we fund many HARP loans within 30 days, so please contact me at 888.231.8372 or jolson@afnmortgagelenders.com . Sincerely, Jesse Olson

With the information you've provided, you shouldn't have any problems. I would avoid the "big banks" and contact a local mortgage banker. You will likely get better service, a quicker turn time, lower costs and a lower rate.

Consumers typically all do the same thing, and when it comes to refinancing their mortgage, they all think the current lender is the best place to go - and they are all wrong. Your current lenders knows you do this, and that for most people, it is they only place they contact. Therefore your current lenders price those loans a little bit higher than you could get somewhere else. There is zero benefit to using your existing lender. Shop elsewhere...
