Government Agency???
Nope, sales they don’t have anything for you yet unfortunatly.
However I can refinance your loan if you have the equity and credit or I can get you a modification of your current loan if you don’t qualify for a refinance, I do those everyday.
Send me an e-mail with your address, the name of your mortgage company and balances due.

Question by Ms Tee Arrow Condos: How Can an FHA Loan get approved if the by-laws have a Right to First Refusal?
I am a Condo Association president. Recently, treat a unit was purchased with an FHA Loan. Our By-laws have the Right to First Refusal, we also have a pending lawsuit with Illinois Department of Transportation and an individual ownership of a common element 2.78%. According to FHA Condo Approval Checklist having these would deny the approval of a loan. Tell me how did this FHA Loan get approved? And, what can we do about it?

Answer by Ed Atun
No FHA loans are supposed to be permitted in complexes that retain the right to “screen” buyers or “reject” buyers. Your Right of Refusal would usually be cause for FHA to deny financing to a buyer.
FHA loans used to go to the local office of Housing and Urban Development for approval. That was so time-consuming that HUD offered local lenders “direct underwriting approval” for FHA loans. The underwriter for the loan in your complex failed to do her job.
You could get her fired but the loan will probably remain in place. There is no process in place to “undo” a loan.

Question by Donte’: With bad credit, treatment can I refinance my mortgage to the lower rate or will my bad credit prevent me from refi?
I have heard conflicting reports on this.

Now paying rate: 6.25%
Mortgage Rates today: 4.5%

Can I get the lower rate with bad credit?
So I guess the gentleman on Good Morning America does not have his facts straight. He said even with bad credit your mortgage company will refinance because the lower rate will help you stay current on your house note.

  1. Actually it might be possible under the new “Home Affordable Refinance Program”, this requires most Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lenders to work with you, if you have certain circumstances. Here is a website to check it out:

    GOOD LUCK!

  2. You should contact the “loss mitigation” area of your Bank. Many branch offices are not even aware of the current solutions banks are setting-up to work with their customers. They might have a program that can assist you with a refinance, lower closing costs than on a typical refinance, and help rebuild your credit.
