Refinancing is when you get a loan (secured) to pay down an old loan. In this case, “mortgage refinancing” thus meaning to pay off your old mortgage.
This most often happens to get a lower rate of interest or to get some cash out to do other things with from the equity your home provides. There are a few steps that one goes through during the mortgage refinancing process.

1. You obtain and then complete the loan application that is in front of you.
   
2. You then are presented with loan offers from the loan consultant.
   
3. Once you choose what one you will go for, there will be some documentation that will be needed to start it.
   
4. After a brief period of time you will receive the various disclosures (legal information, terms etc) to which if your in agreement, you sign and return them to your loan consultant.
   
5. Upon the loan consultant receiving this information he or she will set up an appraisal company to contact you about appraising the value of your home. This must be done so that the loan is secured against the predetermined value of your home.
   
6. You sit back a little, as your loan consultant does the work to order the payoff of your old loan with the new one and a title search and processes the loan file.
   
7. The underwriters then obtain the information from the loan consultant and either approve it or request any additional information they may need. If they need more information, they will get a hold of your loan consultant to get in contact with you. Then if all goes well, the final approval is given and a closing date is scheduled.
   
8. The final document is sent off to the title company, notary public, or lawyer who is closing it. You then sign any final documents, provide id, etc.
   
9. During the next three days, you have the right to cancel your new loan agreement.
   
10. The mortgage refinance process is completed and you have successfully refinanced your mortgage.HOW TO REFINANCE UR MORTGAGE : Refinancing…

Question:

I have a 100000 career as a Registered Nurse and have a foreclosure on my record from 2 1/2 years ago. My credit score is about 640. My boyfriend is self employed but has the option of getting a VA loan. He is in construction and has had to claim a loss on his taxes the last two years just to make it through. He has a credit score over 780. Is there anyone that will give us a mortgage loan under these circumstances?

Answer:

Several options comes to mind:

• FHA guidelines are two years after a foreclosure, which means you could qualify for as little as 3.5% down.
• Hard-money lenders will often make loans six months after filing bankruptcy or a foreclosure, but will a require 20 to 35% down payment. The interest rate will be very high and the loan terms are not as favorable; many will contain prepayment penalties and be adjustable.
• Subprime lenders (not to be confused with hard-money lenders) are no longer making 100% financed loans.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that’s taken out based on your home’s equity. It’s different from a home equity loan because there are no credit checks or income requirements. Additionally, you don’t have to make payments on a reverse mortgage the way you make payments on a home equity loan. You might think of a reverse mortgage as a home equity loan, without the payments and check – simply a loan that’s made based on the equity you have in your home.

QUESTION

I’m looking for some guidance. I live in Texas and I fell behind on my Mortgage back in November 09 due to medical issues. In January of 2010 I attempted to make two payments, which my mortgage company rejected. Once I learned of the rejection, I called hoping to set up a repayment plan. I was told that they could set up a repayment agreement but that I should apply for a modification under OBAMA’s Home Affordable Program first. Although this wasn’t my original intent, I submitted the requested forms and documents the next day, January 29, 2010 (based on their suggestion). I called back a week later just to be sure everthing was on track and requested a repayment arragement while the Mod was being reviewed. I was told that I could not be set up on a repayment plan, because my loan was being considered for Modificaiton. I called once or twice a week, with the same reponse, “no decision has been made”. Finally on March 6th I was informed after calling in that the mod was denied Back in early Feburary and that my home was now in forclousre with a April 6th sale date. I have not received anything in writing, I just learned of it during one my weekly calls, weeks after the denial. I am confused as to how it got to this point. I just wanted to set up a repayment plan. Besides paying the $10,000 plus now due to reinstate the loan, is there anything I can do?

ANSWER
A repayment plan will only be given to you after your loan is modified. The lender may reduce your interest and give you a new payment plan in order to clear off the mortgage dues. As the modification was denied, you did not receive a repayment plan from the lender. You need to contact your lender and once again reapply for the loan modification and check if the lender agrees to it.
