2008-03-08T21:01:00.000-08:00

Hello,

As you probably know, mortgage lenders want to make as much money
as possible on your mortgage loan. You can just take a look at your
loan papers and see all the fees you may be currently paying
(e.g. loan origination, application fees,lenders attorney's fees etc).

What you may not know is that there are some key mortgage tips you can
use to your advantage when securing your next mortgage loan, that lenders
don't want you to know...because these tips can cut into their bottom line.
That means less money for them, and more money for you.

I don't know about you, but if I had the option, I'd want to keep more of my
hard earned money, rather than handing some of it over unnecessarily to a
mortgage lender.

Who Wants to Save Thousands of Dollars on Your Next Mortgage Loan?

2007-12-20T12:27:00.000-08:00

Hi,

If you are like many Americans, you may have searched for mortgage loan solutions, but could use some help before and during the mortgage process to insure you find a product that best meets your needs.

Check out the tips below to help you secure your next mortage loan.

1) Review your own credit report and credit score before you apply for a new mortgage. The banks do not want you to know your credit score, because that is your ticket to negotiating your interest rate and fees on the mortgage loans you apply for...and that cuts into their profits. Also, this gives you an opportunity to verify your credit report for accuracy, correct any errors, and determine if you can pay off some outstanding debts that may be hurting your credit. This can help you secure a lower interest rate.

If you don't check your credit before you apply, that's just like handing your hard earned money over to the bank, because you will be paying higher interest rates. Why not be proactive, and position yourself for lower interest rates and significant savings on your mortgage loan, rather than letting your lender call all the shots? Remember...knowledge is power!

2) Only work with mortgage professionals that are employed to search for the best mortgage solutions available for your situation. Think about it this way...who do you think would secure the best rates for you, Mortgage Professional A who only works with one bank, or Mortgage Professional B who has access to hundreds of banks who are ready to fight for your business? As you can imagine, if you commit to working with one lender, they may try to convince you that they are the only one out there who can provide you with the mortgage solution you are looking for. In most cases, that is far from accurate. You are much better off if you work with a mortgage professional who has access to numerous banks that will compete for your business.

3) Although it may be convenient to apply for your mortgage at your local bank, this may not be in your best interest. Banks have hidden fees that are often much higher than other institutions who are prepared to compete more for your business.

Think about this, why would your bank go out of their way to provide you with the best rates and lowest fees when they already have your business?

Now, if you closed your account, the bank clearly would have more incentive to get your business back and may provide much better rates at that time, but the rule of thumb is... Don't apply for your mortgage at a bank if you want to avoid paying higher rates.

How to Avoid Mortgage Loan Scams

2007-12-05T20:23:00.000-08:00

As you may already know, there has been a lot of uproar in the mortgage industry lately.

Several large mortgage companies have had to lay off a large portion of their
workforce in order to try to recoup losses assumed by writing bad loans.

What has happened in many cases is that mortgage brokers have preyed on uneducated
consumers. They promised consumers a great mortgage loan solution when presenting their Good Faith Estimate, but during the loan process they bait and switched them to sub-standard Adjustable Rate Mortgage loans. As interest rates climbed out of control, many people could no longer afford to make their mortgage payments....ultimately leading to the foreclosure of their homes.

Consumers lose their biggest investment, banks also lose by selling the foreclosed real estate at a huge discount.

So how can you avoid mortgage scams?

The answer is simple....

1) Educate yourself on the loan you are interested in securing
2) Ask Questions as many times as you need to until you fully understand
the terms of the loan you are trying to close
3) Only work with mortgage loan representatives with a proven track record providing mortgage solutions that best meets their customers needs.

If you are looking for help securing your next mortgage loan or refinance....look no further.

MortgageLoansUnited.com is your answer!

They work with over 350 Banks for residential loans and over 1269 banks for commercial
loans. This means they have numerous options to choose from, and can provide extremely competive rates for the loan solution you want to secure...regardless of your credit rating.

What's also nice is they want to help you maintain or improve your credit rating, so they only run your credit one time after completing your application...that's it. TONS of other lenders and mortgage reps don't care much if they lower your credit score by running your credit time and time again...they are mostly concerned with how much money they will make when closing your loan. You won't have to worry about needless dings on your credit report with MortgageLoansUnited.com .

Go ahead and apply for a loan with MortgageLoansUnited.com you'll be happy you did.

The Truth About Bad Credit Mortgage Refinance Loans

2007-08-25T20:56:00.000-07:00

Lets face it, sometimes circumstances in your life may ultimately cause your credit to be less than perfect at times.

The good news is that it doesn't mean you have no options to refinance your mortgage. What it does mean is that you will be paying higher interest rates for your bad credit mortgage refinance, and potentially higher closing fees.

The reason many lenders require higher fees when working with bad credit loans, is that they classify these types of loans as being high risk for default. Charging higher rates and fees allows the lenders to make enough money financing these loans up front, so ultimately the risk of defaulting on the loan in the banks eyes would be minimized to a point.

So what does all of this have to do with you? We'll tell you...

If you are looking for a bad credit mortgage refinance solution, there are two options you should consider before securing a loan.

1. If you can, pay off some of your outstanding debt. This can help improve your credit scores, and with higher credit scores, you can get lower rates.

2. Compare bad credit mortgage refinance rates, so you can get the best deal you can for your personal situation.

An excellent place to start, is with the form below.

To get started, you just select which option you want to investigate based on what you want to accomplish with your bad credit mortage refinance loan, and one of our authorized representatives will do their best to help you out.

Even if you don't think you can qualify for a refinance loan, you should fill out the form to see your options. You may be able to significantly reduce your monthly payments, and/or get some much needed cash out for your home improvement projects, debt reduction etc.

You won't know your options until you take that next step, and get a free bad credit mortgage quote by filling out the form below. After all, you don't have anything at all to lose, and this can be a major step to improving your financial future.

Time to Refinance Your House? Avoid These Common Mistakes

2007-01-05T20:18:00.000-08:00

A new year is here, and you may be looking for a way to generate some cash flow.

A House Refinance can be a great option because it can allow you to use the equity in your home to pay off some higher interest debts, or e.g. do some home improvements you've been wanting to do...but just did not have the funds.

Although home refinance loans can be a good solution...it's important to avoid these common mistakes:

1) Read the fine print on your mortgage loan agreement BEFORE signing the contract

-Many people sign mortgage loan contracts, get their money, then a year or so later are surprised to learn that their interest rate has skyrocketed. Read your contract very carefully and make sure ALL of your questions are answered before committing to a mortgage loan prematurely.

2) Don't let a mortgage advisor talk you into a refinance loan if the time is not right for you

-There are thousands of companies and banks who are anxious to increase their bottom line, and get your mortgage business. They may present you with extremely low rates, but again...read the fine print. The rates presented to you are often times just introductory, and can significantly increase over time...depending on the type of mortgage loan you secure.

You may be presented with a good rate now, but you should evaluate the rate relative to your current situation.

For example, if you have an ARM loan and are making minimum payments because you plan on moving shortly, but you get convinced to to accept a lower fixed rate..this can mean you may be paying several hundred dollars more per month on your mortgage.

The difference between a minimum and full Principal and Interest Payment can be quite substantial, especially in the short term. You could be saving hundreds of extra dollars per month until you move, then when you decide to make a long term committment on a property, it could make better sense for you to get a fixed mortgage and pay the full Principal and Interest payment at that point. It all depends on your situation.

Bad Credit Mortgages- 4 Reasons to Consider a Bad Credit Mortgage

Even though your credit may be far from perfect you may still qualify for a Bad Credit mortgage. You may not think you make enough money, or your credit is too bad, but how do you know you won’t qualify until you communicate with a qualified mortgage professional? Not learning more about the options you have to obtain a Bad Credit mortgage can cost you a great deal of money now and in the future. Discover 4 Reason why you may want to consider a Bad Credit Mortgage today.

1) I’m worried about paying an interest rate that is too high.

If you’re worried about the interest rate of a bad credit mortgage, this may not be as big of an issue as you think. Although you can not expect to get a low interest rate as someone with pristine credit would receive, you can still benefit from obtaining a bad credit mortgage.

-You can quit throwing away your money on a rental property.
-You can claim your house as a deduction when you file your taxes (you don’t get this benefit when you rent a house).
-You can write off interest and taxes you pay on your mortgage.

2) How can obtaining a Bad Credit Mortgage help my credit?

Getting a bad credit mortgage can help improve your credit. Even though your credit may be poor now, after you get a mortgage and begin making regular payments for a while, your credit rating will start to improve. This will provide you with more purchasing options down the road that will be financially beneficial to your future.

3) How long do I have to keep my Bad Credit Mortgage?

How long you keep your Bad Credit Mortgage will vary depending on an individual and their circumstances. A qualified mortgage professional can assist you with this decision. To find a great mortgage professional in Washington or Oregon State, complete a mortgage information request at the following page:

http://www.i-mortgagenetwork.com/Contact_an_Advisor.htm

Once your credit does start to improve and you gain equity in your home, you can look at other options, like refinancing your mortgage. This can help you qualify for a lower interest rate, and a lower interest rate can reduce the amount of your monthly mortgage payments.

4) What other benefits can I have after I obtain a Bad Credit Mortgage?

After you obtain a bad credit mortgage, and demonstrate to your lender(s) that you can make timely payments every month, this can create a win-win situation.

-Your bad credit rating will improve.
-You are keeping more of your money by not throwing it away on a rental property.
-You give yourself a tax benefit by using your home as a deduction.
-You give yourself more options in the future to make other large purchases when your credit rating increases.
-You can grow your assets, and provide more security for yourself and your family.
-You can refinance your mortgage (after you receive enough equity in your home) and obtain a lower interest rate on your new mortgage loan.
-You can focus more on debt reduction.
-You can have more fun, because you have more control of your financial future.
-Your lenders have more security in their investment and may offer you other loan programs after you get a good track record with them.

Remember, you’ll never know if you could qualify for a Bad Credit Mortgage if you don’t try.
Do some research, and talk to a qualified mortgage professional that can help you improve your financial situation. Start taking control of your financial future today!

Bad Credit Mortgages- 3 Reasons to Consider a Bad Credit Mortgage

Even though your credit may be far from perfect, you may still qualify for a Bad Credit mortgage. You may not think you make enough money, or your credit is too bad, but how do you know you won’t qualify until you communicate with a qualified mortgage professional? Not learning more about the options you have to obtain a Bad Credit mortgage can cost you a great deal of money now and in the future. Discover 3 Reason why you may want to consider a Bad Credit Mortgage today.

1) I’m renting a house because my credit is bad. I can’t qualify for a mortgage, why should I spend time trying to qualify for a mortgage?

Regardless of whether the Real Estate Market is up or down, Real Estate has proven to be a very solid long term investment. Your money may be best spent investing in a house, building your assets, and equity.

Although many of us may wish we could purchase a home outright, the reality is many people need to obtain a mortgage to purchase a home. You may believe you can’t afford a mortgage, and could be throwing your money away each and every month on rent if you think your credit is too low to qualify for a mortgage.

It’s one thing to rent a property with option to buy. As long as you meet all the terms of your option to buy agreement, that could be a great solution for you. But... if you are just renting because you think your credit is too bad to qualify for a mortgage…you should think again. The amount of money you may be able to save, and the equity you can acquire by owning a house can be very beneficial to you in the long run. It is worth it to spend some time evaluating mortgage solutions to purchase a property, even if your credit is bad.

2) How Do I Qualify for a Bad Credit Mortgage?

You may have more options than you think. Right now, you may qualify for many different bad credit mortgage programs. There are professionals that specialize in helping people obtain these types of mortgages. One way to pre-qualify for a bad credit mortgage is to complete a mortgage information request form online with a trusted advisor, like you will find at the following page:

http://www.i-mortgagenetwork.com/Contact_an_Advisor.htm

3) What do you say when you communicate with a mortgage Advisor?

When you communicate with your mortgage advisor, come prepared to your discussion with an idea of what you’re looking for, and some questions that you have. For example, you may have a certain amount of money you can afford to pay on a mortgage each month. You can set that expectation up front, and tell your advisor the maximum mortgage amount you can pay each month (including fees) on a bad credit mortgage.

Your initial communications can be particularly helpful as you can often times get some very valuable free tips on how to obtain a Bad Credit Mortgage, and receive specific advice customized to meet your unique situation. Do some research, and talk to a few qualified mortgage specialist who provide Bad Credit Mortgages solutions. Don’t hesitate to ask questions because you need to make an informed decision and insure that you can find a solution that best fits your needs.

How do you know you won’t qualify for a Bad Credit Mortgage if you don’t even try to obtain one? Never assume that you don’t make enough money, or your credit is too bad to obtain a mortgage. You won’t know the facts until you work with a qualified mortgage professional that can help explain your options. To find a great mortgage professional, complete a mortgage information request at the following page:

http://www.i-mortgagenetwork.com/Contact_an_Advisor.htm

Remember, you’ll never know if you could qualify for a Bad Credit Mortgage if you don’t try. Talk to a qualified mortgage professional for guidance, and stop throwing your money away on property you don’t own. Put your money into something productive…your future

Do You Have the Right Mortgage Solution for Your Needs?

In today's age we have all been bombarded with mortgage offers.

Everyone says they have the best rates and the right solutions for you but how do you really know?

In the past, when we were looking for a mortgage solution we became bombarded with emails, direct mail, and calls from different mortgage companies promising the world. Unfortunately, at the end of the day when we got some paperwork in front of us, we were tasked with reading in between the lines to learn the actual rates we would REALLY be paying after the hidden fees (e.g. loan origination, underwriting, closing costs etc) were "explained".

We got tired of playing this mortgage rate game and wanted to find the mortgage solution that would really work best for our family, our friends families and associates.

We quickly learned that working with trusted mortgage professionals who truly care about and listen to our needs, is the way to go when trying to find an ideal mortgage solution.

After a lot of frustration, we found some great mortgage professionals who truly offered solutions to meet our needs. We clearly were not just a number to them. They spent the time with us making sure that all of our questions were answered, and insured that we would get a very competitive mortgage rate that was not increased with unecessary fees.

They truly "get it" and understand that by providing a good mortgage solution, they will gain the confidence and respect of their customers. This is a great recipe not only for satisfied customers, but also for repeat business for the mortgage professionals, creating a win-win situation for all parties involved.

To all our friends in Washington and Oregon who need to work with trusted mortgage professionals who can help you meet your mortgage needs....look no further.
