Question about loans and trailers etc?

December 30th, 2009
snickybugg asked:


My fiance and I have been looking at homes for almost 2 yrs now and finally came across a home we rly liked, in our price range and in the area we went. Well, its considered a ‘trailer’ even though there is a huge add-on and it looks like a Ranch. All the banks say we would have to put 80% down of the asking price (which is $79,000) which we CAN NOT afford. The most we can put down is $10,000.

So my question is, is there a bank or lender ANYWHERE that will let us re-finance a trailer (if needed) and give us a good loan without a huge interest rate?

Thanks

PS Please only answer if you really know, we need to have an answer to the owner of the home by Friday. T/U!
Thank you Marc!!
We would be buying the trailer, and almost 3 acres of land to go w/ it. Its a gorgeous trailer believe it or not. The owners have lived there for 21 yrs and done over $20,000 in work in just the last year. Right now my fiance and I live in a trailer in a park and its horrible!! So cold, so tiny and no yard.

But thank u thank you thank you again! We will def. look into these!! :o )

Or does prop. 13 force counties to stick with the original price a buyer paid for the home? I want to take a very small home equity loan out ($5,000), but it may not be worth it if my tax bill goes up 50%.

If I buy real estate outright with no loan, are there closing costs?

December 28th, 2009
meisha k asked:


I’m a first time home buyer, and I’m buying a small, inexpensive home which will require no mortgage or loans. In researching about closing costs, it seems that they’re related to the mortgage and lender fees. If I have no mortgage or lender, are there still closing costs, and if so, what would they be for? Thank you :)

. What does leasing a car involve?
(Points: 2)
Purchasing a car from a car dealer rather than from the previous owner

Using a loan to buy the right to use a car only on specific days of the week

Paying off the car loan over a period of time that’s longer than the car is owned

Renting the car for a specific period of time and paying for its depreciation

2. When can a bank repossess someone’s car?
(Points: 2)
When the owner buys a used car

When the owner gets into an accident

When the owner cancels the insurance

When the owner defaults on the loan payments

3. Which of these makes a student loan different from other types of loans?
(Points: 2)
Students don’t have to provide any collateral to get a student loan.

Student loans are sponsored and guaranteed by the government.

The principal on a student loan is paid off before the interest is applied.

The payments on a student loan can’t be shown on an amortization table.

4. Which of these describes how a five/one ARM mortgage works?
(Points: 2)
The monthly payment is one-fifth of the total purchase price of the house.

The interest rate is fixed for five years and then changes every year afterward.

The interest rate charged on the mortgage is five times the normal interest rate.

The annual fees on the mortgage are only charged during the first five years of the loan.

5. What is one of the advantages of getting a government-sponsored mortgage instead of a conventional mortgage?
(Points: 2)
Government mortgages are easier to get approved than conventional mortgages.

Government mortgages allow home buyers to spend more money on their house.

Government mortgages charge lower interest rates than conventional mortgages.

Government mortgages prevent the government from taking the property for public use.

6. What is one advantage of using a credit card to make purchases?

8. Why is it important for people to maintain a good credit history?

$7500 tax credit for home buyers?

December 25th, 2009
Fogel asked:


I have a question regarding the $7500 tax credit for home buyers. I was in a land contract since 2002 – 6 years. And recently I just refinanced my home, FHA Stream Line Home Loan in June/08. I bought the home in 2002 on a land Contract, me only.

I got married in 2006 and refinanced 2 months ago, with my Wife…… Do I qualify as a refinance land contract? Or will my wife qualify – because she was just put on the house, and she never owned a home prior? We file our tax’s jointly……

question about the new 15000 dollar home buyer credit?

December 24th, 2009
jacodenn7 asked:


I am about to flip out. I saved money for years and finally had enough to get a loan to buy me and my fiance a home on march 31, 2008. I recently lost my job and now she is having a tough time paying the mortgage. They just passed a bill to GIVE first time home buyers a 15000 dollar tax credit, that does not have to be repaid, but It is for homes purchased on april 9, 2008 and later. So I missed this by 8 days? This is so not right, why wouldn’t they just say for the whole year of 2008. We have almost zero funds now and we aren’t going to get anything? Is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance
