Have you thought about a 3 year ARM? the rates are under 4% with excellent credit. You may qualify at a lower rate.

Hi dj012,

Mortgage brokers are restricted by their lenders when it comes to debt ratios and other factors.  I would recommend working with a reputable mortgage bank where guidelines are looser.  This isn't to say that we can do anything, but since loans are sold directly into the secondary market there are no 'middlemen' to impose further restrictions.

Nice business plan Dave!  Are you going to charge them for helping with a Modification?  Or are you just hoping they won't get one so you can get a commission on a short sale?

[content removed by moderator for being self promotional] First, you exhaust your lender options for refi - I can refer you to brokers who may be able to get it done.  Second, you negotiate with your bank for a loan modification, which is a good option for you.  Third, you may have to sell your house either on the market or to an investor, [content removed by moderator for being self promotional], to make sure you do not get foreclosed on!  You can control the outcome, but you have to be proactive.

You may want to look at your overall debt load. If you have any credit cards, student loans or auto loans, you can pay them down, pay them off or refinance them&may this will put you in the right debt to income range for the refinance. A good loan officer can tell you how far off per month you are. If you have no cosumer debt then, you will need to make more in 2009. Much luck with your refinance.

You need to supply more information if you want an resonable answer.

Is your current mortgage an ARM (how long and is it Interest Only) or 30 yr fixed?  Is this your primary home, and how long have you lived there?  What is the current value of the home (best guess)?  If you are unemployed now is there a prospect for new employment?  How is your credit: Excellent, Poor or Good?

Do you know if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac has your loan?  http://loanlookup.fanniemae.com/loanlookup/
