I would like to refinance my manufactured home and combine my 1st and 2nd mortgage, pay off some debt, would like about 10,000. cash out for improvements. I have had no luck in finding a lender.

Hi Sweetpea,

You have mentioned that you are trying to find a lender for over a year. Did the lenders reject your application for refinance? What reasons did they gave you for not accepting it?

What I can suggest you here is that you can speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation from them. This will help you in getting an idea whether or not you would get a loan.

Thanks

Hi,

To awilkins,

As your daughter has missed some payments, you won't be able to refinance the mortgage outright. You will have to bring the loan current and then apply for a refinance.

To madhend,

It would be the lender's discretion whether or not he would refinance the loan for you. However, you should definitely apply for it and negotiate for a refinance.

sue, it's not easy to find lenders willing to help you with manufactured homes. the keys are as follows: do you own the land on which the home is located, and is the home on a foundation?

Mortgage rates are at the lowest point. When picking a Mortgage company to complete your refinance transaction you must ask your Loan Officer to give you the best options based on your qualifications.

Hi Beachgoer,

If you plan to live in the manufactured home for the next 5-8 years, then it would be a good option to refinance the loan. While you refinance the loan, you will have to pay the closing costs. So, if you do not plan to stay in the property for long, I don't think it's a good option to refinance it. In that case, it's a good option to sell off the property.

Thanks

we have a 20 yr. mortgage and have 12 more yrs. to pay it off. We will probably sell within the next 5 yrs. Our home apprasies at 180,000 and we owe 67,000 on it. Our interest rate is 5.75% and could re-finance for 4.65%. It would reduce our monthly payments by 140.00. We have no bills, no credit cards, no car payments, etc. Should we consider re-mortgage. I am 61 and want to retire next yr. and down size then. I have a fixed interest rate now. We have excellent credit. Thanks for your info.

You have mentioned that you are planning to stay in the property for next 5 years. I don't think it would be a good option to refinance the property for such a short period of time. I can understand that it would lower your monthly payments to some extent but it won't help you in offsetting the closing costs that you would have to pay while refinancing.

it's really a matter of doing the math. if your reduction in payments will end up paying for the upfront fees within a 2 or so year period, then it's not a bad idea at this time to refinance. if, as niicss notes, your savings isn't going to be that productive, then don't bother.
