What is an estimated rate we might qualify for on a mortgage?
Question by wbabqueen: What exactly am I getting myself into with a Government loan for a House? I have no credit, health hospital but not bad credit either. I’m looking for a FHA certified realtor to help me get started looking. Or maybe a list of FHA certified lenders or whatever it is I need. And what does this all involve. I hope I’m not going to be signing my life away. . . Maybe somebody that has done this before… how did it go for you? Thanks Thanks Taras Problems. You really sound like you know what your talking about. Thanks for the tips! =) Best answer: Answer by Found-1A house and a mortgage is not something to jump into lightly. Upkeep and the financial responsibility’s are something for only those who are financially secure and have no plans of moving for years to come. I would suggest you get pre-approved for the loan first… then start looking for a Realtor and a house. Many times folks waste precious time and money in looking at houses and never realize they don’t qualify or don’t have a large enough down payment. Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments! Question by rd: What is an estimated rate we might qualify for on a mortgage? Hi I was wondering if anyone might know (or had simular issues) what an estimated mortgage rate would be for us. We would pre-qualify, story but we are trying to keep our credit inquiries down as we will (hopefully) be looking to buy in the next year. Here is our situation: * Married first time home buyers. Median FICO’s of 568 and 571 * I filed Bankruptcy 2 years ago. My Husband has not filed bankruptcy before. * I have been in the same field for 6 years. *Husband has been a full time student. *We and have paid off all outstanding debts except one car payment of $ 350 and a student loan of $ 100 per month both with excellent payment history. *Our approx gross income is $ 65, search 000/year. *We have $ 5, order 000-$ 10,000 for downpayment. *Neither of us have a current rental history as my company takes care of our living arrangements (medical traveler). Any suggestions or thoughts? Thank you If the rate we are given is high (sounds like it will be) then if there is no penalties, Would it be likely that we could refinance in a few years after esablishing payment history and having better credit scores? Best answer: Answer by bigslick60From the information u gave u could not go F H A so u will have to get a B loan or conventional loan, your rate will most likely be around 9% – 12%. Know better?

Question by lore81: Can I get a second mortgage loan on a purchase outside of the state Im living in? I want to help my parents buy their first home, approved but because they may not have a good credit score, I was wanting to apply with them to help them. How can I do this? Best answer: Answer by daeve930The first thing to do is check their credit scores. I use annualcreditscore.com, and you can order each of the three major bureau reports there. You have to pay for the score. I think one is $ 5.95 and the other 2 are $ 7.95. Don’t buy any other services from them. What they call debt analysis is something you can do in seconds for free. Just add up all your monthly payments from the reports, and divide by the monthly gross. That’s you debt to income ratio and what they call debt analysis. Most lenders will line up all three scores for all the borrowers and use the lowest middle score. Yes,...

Question by yourtruckerfriend: what are the specific rules for truckers to get an fha loan? Im a first time home buyer. I am a otr driver. I am out working 355 days a year. I take 1 week off to visit family back home. The dept of transportation allows me to deduct from taxable income a flat rate of 45? dollars for everyday im out on the road..away from my home state. I claimed about 37.00 a day..itemized on my return. I also have other deductions to my taxable income. The issue is.. my mortgage broker is stating that the underwriter is making me show my tax returns for 07 an 08 to see IF i qualify for a home loan. I made 53k , pilule web i had 20 k in deductions. I couldve taken more but thats a gray area , more about recpts etc.. anyway.. i am NOT a self employed person.. i have w2s. I applied to the underwriter , find got approved for 72k. I negotiated the purchase price, and such.. got my loan down to 56k & seller contribution of 2k, add in an 8k rehab loan, brings my tally to 64k, add in 12k closing etc. bottom line. my mortgage guy locked me a rate at 5.5 fixed 30 etc. amaZing..its till the 1st of march.. Our closing goal is the 20th of feb.. as i said i had a preapproval.. i signed a contract , (theres alot more details about the contract).. paid for inspection, and appraisal. now mortgage guy TIM.says he put off ordering the survey as i may not qualify now.. I ask why am i being forced to show tax returns, just because my occupation is trucker?.. if i made 53k a year and say paid rent equal to my truck pmt.. 652 , and ,my util budget is 232 a month. I make around 4144 a month. I gotta eat, like eveyone else..only i get a tax break on daily expenses.. meals etc. My mortgager lied to me saying an appraisal had been ordered when it has not ..that was 9 days ago.. now i found out that the realtor.. MY realtor stated ..c.mort group has ordered the appraisal, then see hand writen order but am told by morgage co. that it wasnt ordered. everyone else whos not a *truck driver..gets to take w2s to fha and show bills etc, get a loan. but for I .. i am required to show all my tax return even tho i am not self employed and i get most of my tax pmts back by itemizing.. well the house sits and i am left with 725 spent for inspection and appraisal and now even tho i had a prequal letter, a signed contract and 30 days into the process.. my mortger says i dont qualify.. is there a way around this. thru it..etc The purpose of buying a home now is the market, my age and family needs. I plan to be home more and my work is slowing down a bit. Ive been a driver for 7 years. didnt want or need a home, stayed out on the road. cheaper. independant now.. my family has no housing.. i have the ability to have a full house again. and yes..tax deductions.. equal amounts better investment.. the reason the underwriter is asking for the returns…because i stated truck driver as job. i also wonder..could it be also because im female? if only my ahem.experienced mortgage broker listed me as freight engineer or relocation specialist or professional commodity relocator..? im just...
