LOOKING FOR FHA LOAN

Profile picture for nrpacino

Ok I hope I'm doing this right. I live in Missouri. I have an existing adjustable 1st mortage (currently 8.5%) with Wells Fargo for $180,000. I have an adjustable 2nd mortgage (currently 12%) with HSBC for $29,000. My house appraised for $212,000 4 years ago, but now will appraise somewhere between $180,000 and 190,000.  Both mortgages are currently in mine and my ex-husband's name. He quit-claimed the deed to me in our divorce three years ago. I have since re-married. My new husband has a credit score in the low 700's. My credit score is in the high 600's. I have never defaulted or been late in paying either mortgage. My new husband's income is $80,000 annually. My income is $12,000 annually. My current mortgages are betwen $2,100 and 2,300 per month. I would like to combine these loans at a fixed rate, or refinance one or both at a fixed rate to lower my monthly payments, and to remove my ex-husband's name from the financing of my house.

I guess someone did not hear about not being self promotional on these threads.  Would love to hear about the over 100% CLTV products in the mid 6's.

NR, post your actual loan request through the mortgage tab.  You will have to put it some info as to what you are looking for, like I said, in the comments section, put that you are looking for 97% FHA loan, you have a 2nd that will need to be subordinated for $29k.  It is real easy to put the request in.  Once you do that, the lenders that are actually licensed in your state will be allowed to post rate quotes for you.  If you give us your Loan Request ID number, we can help you weed out the good and bad quotes.

Over 100% CLTV in the 6's?  I would love to see any info on that too....

 

Also, I am up against 5 lenders that are offering 5.75 with a 53% back end DTI with no mention in their quotes that may be a problem. I hope the DTI is a mistake....

 

nrpacino, submit the request as suggested above, and you will get some good quotes from Zillow folks, and good luck to you!

You can refinance the 1st and subordinate the 2nd. There is no CLTV limit. As long as the 1st mortgage meets FHA Guidelines, and the 2nd mortgage agrees, you are all set.

FHA Mortgage is correct. You could offer a rate in the high 5's as long as you can subordinate the second. There is no CLTV limit with FHA.

 

GreatRateFolks:

If you plan on running it FHA and there credit scores are high enough to get an approve/eligible through DO or DU, then a 53% DTI is not a problem. I have seen approves as high as 57% DTI.

I have never seen an FHA Approve Eligible with that high of a debt ratio. Maybe Fannie or Freddie when they would go up to 64% in some cases, but look at where they are now. Would you loan your money to someone with that high a debt ratio? What will happen if Obama wins the election and he raises taxes? Then they are really screwed.

Nr...The first thing you need to do is talk to HSBC to get an idea if they will even entertain subordinating the second mortgage.  If they are not on ball, you could have a 15% DTI and it would not matter.

I recently subordianted a second from HSBC with a CLTV of 115%.  HSBC will in most cases subordiante, but good luck dealing with the subordination department!

Jcaf, I agree, but I also think they should go prepared.  "Hey HSBC, I am approved for $xx at xx interest rate with a payment amount of $xxx.  Saving me approximately $xx a month in mortgage payments.  Thus allowing more liquidity in funds for me to continue to make all my  payments."  Or something to that extent.  Just calling them and saying are you up to subordinating my 2nd is not going to give HSBC any reason to say yes.  JMHO  :)
