Q: What happens to a second mortgage when a home is purchased at a foreclosure auction?
I am going to bid on a house at foreclosure and it has a 1st mortgage of $280K and a second of $70K. The lender on the first two mortgages is Decision One Mortgage. The lender at foreclosure is Countrywide. Does this mean that if I buy this house at foreclosure that I will own additional money to the second mortgage or just the first mortgage and back taxes?

A: When a senior lien forecloses, a junior lien is wiped out. So if the first mortgage holder forecloses, the second trust deed goes away. If the second forecloses, you'll still owe the first. Oftentimes, if a senior lien forecloses, the junior lien holder will send a representative to the auction to defend its interests by making sure the property goes for enough to pay the junior lien as well. Or they buy it themselves with the idea of reselling. Costs money, yes. But better than losing their whole investment.

Q: Can I get a refinanced mortgage if i start a home business with no employees and still work my regular job?
I want to refinance my mortgage and I want to start a home business before doing so. It would have no employees and I would still keep my current job. My home business will not require any due balances or credit lines to increase my debt. Would mortgage companies see the worry that I would quit my regular job or would they trust that I would maturely handle the mortgage payments? In other words, would I have no problems getting refinanced under these conditions. My credit score is about 650 and I've been at my current job for 1 1/2 years but have had steady employment for a long time. I have also paid my mortgage on time for 12 months. The reason I am asking is because what I will be doing requires a vendor license. Therefore, in my ssn, it would show the business based at my home address. I am actually looking for a new mortgage loan, not a home equity loan or personal loan and I don't need to borrow to pay debts.

A: i do not see any problem with you getting the refinance and i would not worry about the business end affected it!!!

Q: I have a mortgage on one home, can I get a second mortgage to pay for another house?
I'm planning to relocate, but current owe a mortgage for $50k. I also have a bankruptcy on my record thats a couple of years old. I'd like to find new home in the state I choose to live in. Would I be able to get a second mortgage or refinance my current home in order to pay for a new one?

A: That depends on a few things. How much equity do you have in your current home? What is your credit score? What is your debt load? Yes you can get a 2nd mortgage on your current home to buy another, people do it all the time. Your income must support maintaining your current home (you should be able to get a renter in there to offset the mortgage payment or some portion there of) and support your new mortgage. You can get a loan with a BK. Many lenders require it to be discharged for 2 years, however, there are still a few lenders that will lend on a BK only being discharged 1 day. In a nutshell, yes you can, if all your other ducks are in a row. Good luck

Q: How much mortgage debt is there in the USA?
Given all the worries about credit in this country, and subprime mortgages, I was curious as to what the entire amount of home mortgage debt is. There are about 110 million households in the country, with 70% of them owned residences. Let's say there are 75 million owned homes. Not all have mortgages, but if 70 million do, and the average mortgage amount on such homes is $200,000, that comes out to a scary $14 TRILLION of mortgage debt in the USA. If just 2% default, the amount of bad home loans is $280 billion. It could obviously be much higher. Does anyone know what total mortgage debt is per household and in total? This is a real problem that could damage the economy.

A: I don't know the numbers, but it is an astronomical amount.

Q: Can you get a mortgage allowing you to bid on a foreclosed property?
Our realtor advises that only buyers with cash in hand can buy foreclosed properties at auction. There is a technical challenge buying if you need a mortgage as you have to be in contract to be able to get the mortgage approved. Is this true or is there a valid way you can get a mortgage and bid on a foreclosed property at auction?

A: You need to establish a banking relationship in the commercial loan department. Stay away from residential lenders as they are not involved in investment deals. Explain what your plan is (to buy foreclosures) and arrange a line of credit subject to your winning bid that converts to a first lien mortgage. Most foreclosures require 10-15% at sale and closing in 30 days. You will need collateral and good credit. Start small and prove yourself to the lender even if it is only really small cheap houses. Make the lender your best friend regardless of his decision as you can always go back.

Q: How does reworking a mortgage affect my credit score?
I could use the help of potentially reworking my mortgage to be more affordable. It is possible for me to get by without doing so. If I do call my mortgage holder and rework my mortgage for a reduced interest rate or reduced principle how does that affect my credit score?

A: It doesnt. You will have a mortgage credit pull listed on your report which as long as you havent gone on a credit pulling spree wont even really calculate into your score.

Q: How do I become a mortgage broker in ohio?
I know the mortgage industry is in a mess right now, but I am looking toward the future when we rebound. Wondering what requirments there are to become a mortgage broker in Ohio. I am looking to work this industry on the side, as I already have a full time sales job. Also what are the typical commisions paid to brokers for sub-prime, prime, and jumbo mortgage loans...is this split with the company you work for? I already work 100% commission, so that is not a problem. Any input on this career is greatly appreciated, ie the ups and downs.

A: Here's a link to the application required by the state. It included a list of requirements to be eligable. http://www.com.state.oh.us/dfi/documents/mainofficemortgagebrokerapppacket_000.pdf I would start by getting some of the required education. You may want to also work for a company before typing to open your own brokerage. Even if you only work in a related field it will be very helpful later on. Such as as a real estate assistant to a successful real estate agent.

Q: Mortgage Finance Experts: How will the market affect homeowners who will be refinancing next year?
My parents bought their home 4 years ago at a 4% rate, which is due to change next year when their loan rate. With the market crunch and the new strict lending that's bound to occur as a result of this, they are worried about what refinancing has in store for them. The good news is that they have flawless credit (they successfully removed their PMI, and they are early every month on their mortgage payments ---and they pay an extra couple of hundred dollars than they should. Not to mention their credit card debt is very low (only a couple of thousand dollars). They've both been at their great paying jobs for over a decade; but they are still worried about whether they will be able to secure a decent fixed rate when their mandatory refinance is up. Any hope?

A: The biggest impact on our market is the following: 1. - There is no longer any subprime lending 2. - Jumbo loan rates have been rising disproportionate to the rest of the market 3. - The ALT-A market has all but vanished 4. - FHA Loans have become increasingly attractive. 5. - Fannie Mae loans have for the most part remained unaffected. While I certainly cannot predict what the market will be like a year from now (if I could I wouldn't be writing loans and training loan officers for a living) I don't see subprime on the radar for quite some time. Everything else will come around and normalize. Here's a point that everyone seems to be missing. For the most part this is a market problem - Given time the market will correct the problem. Not the Senate.

Q: How can I become a mortgage broker in california?
I simply cannot seem to find legitimate information on becoming a mortgage broker in California. Many of the web sites that purport to have information really share very little of anything and some are just plain frauds. I'd like to find information on mortgage broker training and possibly information on finding a school (preferably Los Angeles) where I can get training on becoming a mortgage broker.

A: What are you thinking BRO that is a bad job especially this time of the year. You only get two applicants a week. No houses selling.

Q: What happens to the second mortgage when the first mortgage forecloses?
I am going through a foreclosure on my first mortgage, what are my options with dealing with the second mortgage? Any legitimate websites with guides for dealing with the aftermath of foreclosure would also be appreciated.

A: If and when the bank sells your house, the amount of the sale will be applied as follows: First, the costs of repossession, foreclosure and the sale will be paid. Second, money will be applied to your outstanding balance Third, any other lienholders (2nd mortgage) will get money. In this market, the bank is going to be lucky to sell the house for enough money to pay the fees let alone the first mortgage. So, what will happen is that the 2nd mortgage holder will want you to pay and they very well could sue you and garnish your wages to get paid. Good luck.

Q: What happens to a real mortgage when a debtor files for bankruptcy?
I'm a creditor whose debt is secured by a real mortgage. I've received recently a notice that the debtor has filed for bankruptcy under chapter 7 of the US Bankruptcy code. What will happen to both my loan and my mortgage? Will I be enjoined from foreclosing the mortgage? The insolvent debtor by the way is an individual, not a corporation. Please prvide legal basis. Thank you. :)

A: You have the best kind of security. You have about the strongest position you can get in bankruptcy as a creditor. The way I understand it there will be no need to foreclose. Just file your interest as a creditor as per the instructions on the paperwork. Hopefully, they'll order the sale of the asset and you will be first in line for the funds from it, provided you are the primary mortgage holder and not subordinate to anyone. Regardless, be sure to speak with a bankructy attorney. You may get a free consultation or may have to pay a drop, but it will be well worth it for the guidance.

Q: How often do mortgage comapnies use the 4506 t form to very info. Always or hardly ever when buying a home?
If you provide the mortgage company with all the requested info do they typically follow up on that. Does it vary from company to company or is it a common practice for them to execute the 4506t form. Also, has anyone everheard of first choice mortgage in charlotte? Any thoughts on them?

A: Hi, The primary reason behind using a 4506 form is to prevent mortgage fraud. Lenders use such a form to collect copies of the tax returns of self-employed borrowers for the past 2 years from the IRS. Most big lenders and mortgage companies ask borrowers to fill out such a form. To know more on why 4506 form is used, refer to http://www.mortgagefit.com/know-how/irs4506form.html .
