With rates trending down during the past few weeks I have been
refinancing my home. Like millions of other homeowners, I regard
refinancing with mixed feelings -- lower rates are wonderful but the
details and requirements associated with the process seem endless and
numbing.

What
if I were to tell you that almost everything you have been told about
what to do with your home has been absolutely wrong and that one of the
worst ways to build wealth is through your home? And what if I further
went on to show you that anyone who perpetuates this myth probably is
not your best source for accurate financial information

JUST LIKE AN EPISODE OF "RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT". THE RECENT FED RATE HIKE ACTUALLY HELPED LOWER MORTGAGE RATES.
Strange,
but true. When the Fed has lowered the Fed Funds Rate in the past,
interest rates on mortgages have actually worsened. So it should be no
surprise that when the Fed raises rates, interest rates on mortgage
loans would improve. |

There
is a great debate within the inner-mortgage circles these days. Should
we, as loan professionals, encourage clients to borrow as much money as
possible or are we better serving them by helping them understand the
benefits of 15-year amortization schedules, as well as pre-paying
principal? Let's analyze the pros and cons of both strategies and then
I will share my views on when it's appropriate to go with either option.

FHA & Streamline

FHA
loans are not score driven. Instead, they are written in a way that
provides the borrower the benefit of the doubt that there had been, at
some point in their past, circumstances beyond their control, and as
long as the borrower has recovered from those circumstances in a
reasonable manner, they're generally going to be credit-eligible for an
FHA loan. The FHA guidelines are forgiving about circumstances that
many other lending programs, including conventional, are not favorable
towards. |
