First time homebuyer with zero down?
March 10th, 2010Here’s my situation: Looking to buy a home. I have little (K max) to Zero down (preferably zero). I have NO DEBT. ZERO. I owe nothing to anyone. My credit cards have a zero balance, my car is paid for. ZERO DEBT. I personally make K a year. I will have someone living with me who makes K a year. I have been employed steadily for 15 years (I’m 33) and have rented the same apt for the duration of that time never having been late even once on the rent. I’m employable in multiple fields so if my current job goes south I wouldn’t have trouble finding another job. I had a couple collections issues in my early 20’s for medical bills (One of which I disputed) but have since had two loans (both paid off early) and a few credit cards (all open and with no balances and again, never been late or had collections issues). I’ve got a 401k and life insurance with equity I can borrow from. Anyone have any idea how likely it is for me to get a home loan with zero down? Or a home loan at all? I’d be looking for possibly up to 0K. If you think I could get approved anyone know what a good lender might be? Lending Tree? BoA? US Bank? Any advice appreciated.

In Texas can I get an equity loan on my primary residence, if I have an equity loan on my rental property?
March 8th, 2010As I understand it in the state of Texas home owners are only allowed one home equity loan. I have two separate properties, one is my primary residence and one a rental property….some years ago I had my rental property refinanced and in the process received a small amount of the equity. I am now told that I cannot get an equity loan on my primary residence because of the situation with my rental property.
It is a buyer's market – I understand that. Home equity loans, how do they work?
March 8th, 2010If I purchase a home for 0,000, but it is appraised for 0,000, will I have automatic built-in equity that I can use to consolidate ,000 in school loans and credit card debt? Or, will I still have to pay down some of the P&I in my mortgage before I can use the home equity? That is the situation I find myself in right now. Thank you!
Using 1 Home Equity to Pay for Another Home Equity?
March 7th, 2010I currently own 2 properties; 1 is being rented and another one I live in. Both properties have equity of line of credit loans. I almost paid off the loan on the first one that is being rented; the APR on this one is fixed at 7.75%. The second property that I live in, I also have equity of line of credit at fixed rate 9.95% and the balance is 45K. My question is:
1) I almost paid off the first home equity, so should i pull out more equity from the frist one to pay for the second equity, since the APR on the first one is lower? I really want to refinance my mortgage on the second property that I live in, but cannot as the principle balance is more than the house is worth. I thought getting more money from first equity will help me pay down the second equity and save on money since the APR on the first equity is 7.75%.
2) Should I just close off the frist equity account as I pay if all off, and just try to pay the second equity as much as I can at 9.95% APR?
Can I get a construction loan for remodel on a recently purchased short-sale?
March 4th, 2010Here is the deal, I bought a home last month for 50,000 less than the appraised value. Turns out the home needs more repairs than I was expecting to make it livable. So, we are thinking of how we can finance the fixes. We cannot refinance to the appraised value for at least 6 months, so our equity is minimal (we put 5% down). So, I thought about a construction loan. Can this be done after the home has already been purchased? Any thoughts?
