We want to refinance our house....are we in trouble?
We were discussing refinancing before all of this sub-prime mess started to happen. Now I'm wondering if it's a bad time and if we'll have a problem securing a loan. We have good credit and not a ton of debt. Perhaps it won't affect us???

If you are what the industry calls "in the box" with good compensating factors you are good to go.
ie: high FICO score, money in the bank, job stability in the same line for 3+ yrs, not a high loan-to-value, & a low debt-to-income ratio


Landlord
You are correct, if you have good credit you are not effected by the sub-prime hoopla. You are not sub-ptime, but a normal borrower.


helprhome
You will probably be fine. Look for interest rates in the 6%-7% range and if you do better then you have found a real win! Sub-Prime doesn't mean there are no more loans out there.This event that is happening was predicted long ago, but there were greedy people who really should not have been approved for a loan that were approved for loans and now they and others are paying for it. Expect to provide the same kind of documentation that you provided when you went for the first mortgage. Pay Stubs, tax returns bank statements and gather them in advance. This time you will still have an appraisal, perhaps a survey and not have to spend time in the hunting phase but, everything else is much the same-Good Luck.

Sub prime loans only effected people with shaky to bad credit. There should be absolutely no problem obtaining a regular conforming loan, especially since you have good credit. Talk to a mortgage lender, it's not as bad as the media is making it out to be. You're not in trouble, besides the interest rates are going to go down in the next 2 weeks.

Not to worry, if you have good credit, no lates on your current mortgage, and don't have too much debt you should be ok. Contact a mortgage broker and they can probably find a great loan for your situation. They'll probably go mainly off your debt to income ratios, which depending on the lender should generally be under 40% (sometimes under 50%) for all your monthly debt including mortgage payments. The quickest way to figure this out is to add up all monthly (minimum payment) bills that directly affect credit, i.e. new mortgage, car, education loans, and credit cards. and divide that monthly amount into you income, which should come out to be some sort of percentage. if it's below .40, you should be fine.


ralph
Go ahead and apply but use a bank that does not charge any fees. They will let you know current rates.

Actually mortgage rates have come down since we bought our home in February but why wait. You can go to bankrate.com and compare rates. Mortgage companies are being very selective now in who they will loan money to but if you have good credit and little debt you should be ok. Bankrate.com even has mortgage calculators so you can get a feel for what payment you will have. Good luck to you.


Hoptoad City
Just go out and test the waters. Check with Ditech or another well known company. Also check your news paper for going rates. Rates are not actually that bad right now. The most important thing is not to pay points and be sure to get something fixed or atleast fixed for as long as you think you will stay in your house. For instance, if you are going to move in 2 years go ahead and get a 5 year arm. No point in paying for a 30 year if you are only going to be there a short period of time. I would not do anything less than a f or 6 year though. Pit companies against each other. Get a quote faxed to you and get other companies to try and beat it. Rememberr just say no to points. Also, negotiate your rate and closing costs. You don't have to take their first offer.

Big money goes around the world Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web Big money draw the flies

Sometimes pushing people around Sometimes pulling out the rug Sometimes pushing all the buttons Sometimes pulling out the plug It's the power and the glory It's a war in paradise
It's a Cinderella story On a tumble of the dice

Big money goes around the world Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head Big money spin big wheels

Sometimes building ivory towers Sometimes knocking castles down Sometimes building you a stairway Lock you underground It's that old time religion It's the kingdom they would rule It's the fool on television Getting paid to play the fool

Big money goes around the world Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak Big money got no soul...
