Question for bankers with knowledge of home equity loans?

Wednesday, 1. September 2010

I had an allodial title to my home, which was passed down. I signed a contract with a bank for a Home equity loan. As a condition of the loan the Bank agreed with me that I Did not agree to tax deductions in the Home equity loan; they would not deduct a property tax, no agreement to take it out the mortgage payment; (3) I Don’t have to pay taxes in mortgage payment agreeing I would pay property taxes due to a separate arrangement with Township Tax Office if payments are due. I became surety still under the Home equity loan. The Bank forecloses on the property or Home equity loan for failure to receive payment. The Bank didn’t receive payment because they refused it. Was the bank refusal not breach of contract? There was non-payment of monthly obligations on the loan because they refuse to receive payment because of failure to pay property taxes. The Bank forecloses because Township stated I owed property tax. When I was continuing not to pay property taxes after a while the Bank foreclose on the payment. How did failure to pay property taxes breach contract my contract with the bank? Tax bills are sent out by Township Tax Office, which I refuse to honor. I didn’t have a Mortgage Loan rather Home equity loan. United Jersey Bank breached the contract when they did not receive any payment thus the contract was void. The tax issue was separate. Under New Jersey Statute it is the property owner’s responsibility to make sure that the property taxes are paid when due, even though the owner may not have received the tax bill. A bill is not necessary to make a payment. There was no court decision that as the person who inherited the home property taxes were due. Under New Jersey Statute it is the property owner’s responsibility to make sure that the property taxes are paid when due. Yet how do I owe property taxes? The property was taking for non-payment of Federal Reserve notes.

100% Equity Loan with very low FICO?

Sunday, 29. August 2010

I have less than 15% equity in my home and need to consolidate some bills. My FICO is right at 530 and I have one late mortgage payment about 3 months ago. The amount I need is about 10% equity in my home, but can’t find a lender willing to let me have the money with such a low score. At this point in time, the interest rate is not as important as getting some things paid before they begin to affect my credit even more. Anyone know of any companies out there that will go with a 100% equity loan with my bad credit score?

Question about legal loan process.?

Saturday, 28. August 2010

Hi I have a simple but little tricky question.
I believe there are three ways to purchase a house.
1.Pay cash – If you are a millionaire..
2.Hire Mortgage Broker – They will contact with Wholesale Lender
3.Contact with Bank directly – Bank has it’s own Loan Officer.
*If someone doesn’t tell the difference between mortgage broker and loan officer, go to yahoo and search "mortgage broker vs. loan officer" .
Here is my story.
Year 2004 I met Mr.Kim who was a mortgage broker.He always tell others that if someone wants to buy a house, they have to hire a mortgage broker to process their loan(He was acting that option #3 does not exist. That way he could get more jobs to sell.). *Someone might say "Why did you trust the mortgage broker? You are stupid…" You will be surprised to know how so many people have no knowledge about these whatsoever.
Anyway I trusted him and year 2005 I purchased my first house.
I filled out loan application and prepared all the documents which was prepared by Mr.Kim. The loan was approved: both first and second lender was major Banks. Exactly 2months later, I received a check book by XX (also major bank) bank. I asked my mortgage broker about this and he said that this was a home equity line of credit by XX bank (3rd mortgage): it was issued based on the current value of my property (there’s no loan application and no appraisal report..ect.) and my excellent credit. I had no doubt about this at that time (because it was issued from a major bank) and I used the money for home improvement. My mortgage broker, Kim was sentenced for financial fraud for other cases(currently he is in federal prison)
In the mean time, my mortgage payment was increased dramatically because it was a MTA program which I had no idea what that was at that time… My monthly payment doubled after 2 years and I had reached a point where I could not make all three mortgage payment including the 3rd mortgage. As the real estate market crashed, the value of my house dropped greatly and I could no longer able to make payment. I knew something was not right. I heard about Mortgage Audit from internet one day and decided to do that. I requested all the documents (including original loan applications..) from the all three lenders.
I was surprised to see that there were loan officer’s name which I had no idea because I had never met any loan officers. Not only that but also the information on the loan application had wrong information which was prepared by mortgage broker?? or the loan officer??
Since the lender was not a whole sale lender, I had learned that the loan officer from the lender must meet with the borrower directly(Patriot Act?).
What do you think about this whole loan process? I want to know how big crime it is when the loan officer never contacted the borrower and accept all the documents from the mortgage broker and approve the loan despite of all the wrong information on the loan documents??
* Some of you might say, "You signed the documents at the settlement and it is your responsibility"
However both the mortgage broker and the title agent are currently imprisoned. During the settlement, it is almost impossible to review every single document and sign them. I had to trust whatever I sign because it was conducted by title lawyer. Who would not trust "LAWYER" ?? DO YOU THINK LENDER GAVE US A MONEY BECAUSE THEY ARE CHARITY WORKERS?

refinance w/ taking cash out OR home equity loan?

Friday, 27. August 2010

So, I am in a situation where I had a good job for years w/o a degree, bought a condo, got laid off and now working again, but I think the real solution is to go back and finish my bachelor’s degree. In order to do this, I would like to quit my job this fall or sometime next year to finish my junior and senior year full time instead of just going part time. One thing is for sure and that is I start my junior year of college this fall, I just don’t know if it will be full time or part time. The college is night classes which makes it good for the part time option. The problem with not working and going to school full time is making my mortgage payment. My condo is worth 240K from the bad economy and have a 190K loan against it. (I had a good down payment from a previous house sale). My current APR on the condo is 5.875%. I got a GFE on a basic refinance (5.125% w/o points or fees) and it came back I would pay 10 per month w/ taxes instead of the 15 per month I’m paying now. I’m also considering not refinancing because it is only a 5 savings per month and I plan to sell in 3 years after I get my degree. If I don’t refinance, I am thinking of going with a line of credit (home equity loan) with the bank I have the home loan with and then quit my job when school starts. I would then use the money from the line of credit to pay my mortgage while I’m in school. I think the percentage rate was around 6.5%. I wouldn’t need to use the home equity loan until my senior year of college though. I currently have ,000 severance from the lay off I plan to use during my junior year to pay my mortgage. Then when that money is gone, I would plan to use the line of credit during my senior year. I like the line of credit because I only pay interest on what has been taking out. Second option instead of the line of credit: Instead of the home equity loan for my senior year of college, I could refinance the condo and "take cash out". I have not looked into this option. If I take ,000 out, I could put it in a CD for a year and then it would be used for my senior year of college to pay my mortgage. I know it is not a good situation for me, but I’m trying to make the best of it. Does the home equity loan sound better or the refinance?

Home equity loan help?! Anyone financial!?

Sunday, 18. July 2010

Okay I know that without specific numbers no one can really answer this question. But I just want to know how much more a monthly mortgage payment will be if a home equity loan is taken out for home repairs. Here is what I know so far: The house is appraised for 208,000. I dont know what the original down payment was or how much the original mortgage was for but I’m just going to guess 188,000. There have been 60 monthly payments of 1400 per month on I am assuming a 30 year loan. I don’t know what the interest rate was, but they want to take out a home equity loan of 18,000 to 28,000 for home improvements. If anyone can help me figure out approximately how much more the monthly mortgage payments would be that would be great. You can email me if you need any more info that can help.
