Real Estate Financial Offers Customers More With Interest Abatement

REFGA — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 18:42:26 +0000

A 3 to 6 month interest abatement option on FHA and VA loans from Real Estate Financial is a simple way to help our customers increase their cash flow during the first few months of home ownership – when it’s needed the most.

For the first 3- to 6-months of your loan term, you’ll only pay the principal portion of your mortgage. The interest portion of your payment comes from abatement funds which are to be paid by the builder and/or seller on your behalf. No interest is tacked on to your loan!
The lower payment allows borrowers to use their extra cash for anything from moving expenses to new appliances or furniture, even to repay a secured loan used for downpayment.

For further information, contact us one of our professional loan consultants!

Program for Disabled Children or Elderly Parents

REFGA — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 18:15:27 +0000

Real Estate Financial is pleased to announce our Program for Disabled Children and Elderly Parents . We know that not all situations are easy and we work hard to deliver the best programs and rates available to you.

Our Program for Disabled Children and Elderly Parents allows parent-borrower or child-borrower transactions to be considered a primary residence for eligibility, regardless that parent-borrower / child-borrower will not occupy the property. Treating the transaction as a primary residence has many benefits including reduced down payment requirements and a higher limit on allowed seller contributions then if the home were purchased as investment property.

Parent-borrower transaction:
- Parents may purchase or rate/term refinance housing for adult children who are physically or developmentally disabled who are unable to work or who have insufficient income to qualify on their own.
Child-borrower transaction:
- Adult children may purchase or rate/term refinance housing for elderly parents who are unable to work or who have insufficient income to qualify on their own. For this program, elderly is defined as 62 or more years old.

Disabled child or elderly parent must occupy property as primary residence but are not required to be on the Note or Title if income or credit is not used to qualify.

Mortgage Morning Outlook

Chad VonHoven — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:03:19 +0000

We will start the day carefully floating as prices are off their worst levels, but be ready to lock. The 25-day moving average resistance level has halted the mortgage bond’s gains over the past week. On a positive note, the a layer of support has helped Bonds remain near current levels. But get ready – should the Bond fall beneath the nearby support level, the price losses could be significant and very swift.

Learn About Making Home Affordable

REFGA — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 20:18:31 +0000

The Obama Administration’s Making Home Affordable Program includes opportunities to modify or refinance your mortgage to make your monthly payments more affordable.

A major portion of the Making Home Affordable initiative includes Fannie Mae’s DU Refi Plus & Freddie Mac’s Relief Refinance (Open Access) program which allows borrowers who are current on their existing mortgage to refinance when their home values may have declined and/or Mortgage Insurance may not be available.

Both programs allow borrowers to refinance their current mortgage up to 105% loan to value with no limitation on total loan to value when subordinate financing is in place. If your current loan does not have mortgage insurance, then your new loan will not mortgage insurance regardless of loan to value!
