What will 2013 Hold For Mortgages? If there is one thing that really affects the sale of homes or any other property, it is the interest rates!

I still have a mortgage on my home -  do I qualify for a reverse mortgage?   A reverse mortgage can be used to payoff an existing mortgage and in my experience the majority of folks that I work with do have an existing mortgage (or two) to payoff.  The kicker is, will the reverse mortgage provide enough funds to payoff the existing liens?   Providing you qualify for a reverse in terms of age, occupancy and property, yes. As long as the reverse will loan enough funds to payoff the existing mortgage(s) then you are good as gold.  If the reverse does not provide enough, you have the option to kick in additional monies of your own along with the reverse to payoff the mortgage.FHA- HECM Reverse mortgages use the FHA HECM PLF tables to calculate the loan to value. Basically the older you are ... 02/05/2013

Short Sales Mortgage Tax Relief to Expire  Dec 31st 2012  Take action Our National Association of Realtor President Maurice Veissi is urging all the Realtor to take aciton to extend the Mortgage Tax Relief Act which is about to expire on Dec 31st 2012. Here is some information I received via an email: "Despite some positive signs of recovery, our nation’s real estate market is still fragile.  Over a quarter of all transactions still involve distressed properties. That is why you must take action now and tell Congress to extend Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief.  Without an extension, families engaged in loan modifications, short sales, or foreclosures will face a big tax bill. Neither consumers nor the housing market need that added burden. Homeowners shouldn’t be forced to pay a tax on m... 11/05/2012
