Hi Bermudez,

Welcome to the forum.

I think what you're trying to say here is, you have earlier taken a construction loan from the Social Security Real Estate department and perhaps refinanced it into a permanent loan just 6 months ago. Is that so? And now you wish to go for a second loan on your home. I think that's pretty possible if you have sufficient equity and your financial situation is sound enough.

Please let me know if I could understand your query or else do not hesitate to discuss further.

God bless you.

Samantha

Hi jack,

Welcome to the forum.

You can refinance the mortgage even after one year. But pull out you equity you need to see have much equity have you gained yet.

Best of luck,

My home is worth 90k with 65K due on my first mortgage along with a 50k on the second. We are planning to file chapter 7 and want to keep the home, is there any way I can default on the second without losing the home?

Welcome Rhonda.

If you want to keep the home then I should suggest you to file chapter 13. If you file chapter 7 then you may loose the home. Under chapter 7 your home is not a exempt property then it will be sold to pay off the lender?

So before filing chapter 7 consults with a bankruptcy attorney.

Know more about chapter 7 at http://www.mortgagefit.com/bankruptcy/chapter7.html

Let me know if you have any further query.

Bank provides the borrower with a line of credit for a period and the borrower can keep drawing money against the balance available in line.. Is it second mortgage loan?

Hi Reman,

Welcome to the forum.

If the borrower is getting the line of credit by using his home equity as collateral then it is Home Equity Line of Credit which is a kind of second mortgage. But you can even get a Personal Line-of-Credit Loan which is an unsecured loan.

Best of luck,

Post     Post subject: Can anyone help with good advice?

I am in a very frustrating situation...I need to re-finance my home or get a second mortgage. I paid about 90K for it but nothing is going for less than 185K in the area. I owe 55K, but I have horrible credit between an IRS tax lien for 11k (maybe more) and a judgement for 4k from a credit card company. Again, horrible. I want to refi or get a second mortgage to pay off my debt to them and all parties and really start over the right way, but I feel locked into this frustrating situation -- like no one can help with a situation like unless it is predatory! It's like I have a value of over 100K and it means absolutely nothing? Are there any professionals who deal specifically with a situation like this? What would their name be, a mortgage broker, financial advisor...? I am will to pay a professional to hands on technical help, but don't want to be bothered with predators. Any advice? Any companies who you know are reputable who can help walk me through this situation? And how long such a process would take?

Hi guest,

Welcome to our community forums.

I think $55K is the balance that you owe. But what's $185? is it the sale price of properties in your area? Please clarify.

You've said you owe a tax lien worth $11K and it can be even more than that. It's better to know exactly how much you owe. Moreover, have you thought of paying off the judgment amount? I guess it will be tough for you since you have to pay for the mortgage too.

How much of equity do you have? if possible, you can take a cash-out refinance loan and include the judgment and tax lien amount with the cash-out loan. But you need to check out the rates then. The rate shouldn't exceed the one at which you're paying. Otherwise what's the benefit of going for the refinance?

Hi Billy,

Welcome to our forums.

It's always a good decision to make a down payment on the purchase price. It helps you borrow less and hence you don't need to pay more as the monthly mortgage payment. Do you have excellent credit and how's your income? Even though you're getting the loan at 90% ltv, it's better to make a down payment and reduce the loan amount.

Good luck

Hi guest,

If you are looking to purchase and do repair work on the mobile home, then FHA 203K mobile home loan would be the right option for you.

However, there are other options as well. I suggest that you go for a no-obligation free loan consultation on the right mortgage with the lenders in this community. Hopefully they can help you to decide upon the loan option that'll suit you better.

May god bless you.

Samantha

Welcome newuser.

Are you trying to refinance the second mortgage? I think a combined refinance loan including both the first mortgage and second line of credit would help you better.

Thanks.
