We own an investment property that is currently valued between 200 and 240k. We have a 1st mortgage at $116k, and second mortgage at $19k and about $20k in credit cards. We would like to refinance to consolidate the two mortgages and the credit card debt. Our credit scores are 630 and 680 and are low due to credit utilization. I've spoken with our current lender and they can't do it do to the DTI ratio. Is this feasible for any lenders or not? Can you recommend a lender who may be able to do this? by seth.koehler768 from Baltimore, Maryland. Apr 13th 2016
WE are able to do this and at great rates. Should not be a problem. Joyce Ettingoff 301 915 5644 speedlad@aol.com We are in convenient Maryland.
I think this is possible by paying off all these debts through closing, which will help get your debt ratio's down where they need to be. Marilyn and Seth have offered to assist you.
Much more info needed.. If you refinance, pay off the first and 2nd as well as credit cards, then after all those payments are eliminated and then you add the new mortgage payment, and after all that, you are still over the maximum allowable 45%, then yes.. you would not qualify.. but you did not give us any solid numbers.. so it's impossible to answer your question.. But if you are using a competent loan officer, and he has the full picture.. and he still says no, then you might want to get a 2nd opinion, but you need to provide ALL the information to get an accurate answer.

Hi Seth,You are ok on your loan to value with the property and taking the cash out if your appraisal is that high. The real question is what is your DTI? It did not mention that in your question. I understand you will be improving it by paying off debt. Rates are great right now and I am sure your second mortgage rate is a lot higher than you would pay by combining the two loans. If you would like to discuss this in further detail please give me a call or shoot me an email. My phone number is 301-922-1675 or email : cpcaprario1@gmail.com. I will be happy to see what options you have.
Hi Seth,You are fine with your loan to value on the property if it appraises that high. The real question would be what is your DTI? That was the problem with the other lender. You will be improving your DTI by consolidating debt and combining the two loans. Your second mortgage rate is probably a lot higher than your first. We would have to look at the whole picture and see what we can do. I would love to help you out and answer any questions you have. Please feel free to call me @ 301-922-1675 or email cpcaprario1@gmail.com. I am located in Columbia, MD near Baltimore.
