I bought a house a year ago and fixed it up while I was living n it. Now I want to buy a new house and rent my current one out. What are my options in getting a new mortgage; will it be a regular one or an investment mortgage?

I have lost my job and am now working as a cashier at a grocery store. The problem is that my new salary is not enough to cover the mortgage. I am in a very tight situation so I am curious to know my options. I have heard that applying for a mortgage loan modification can help reduce my monthly payments. Has anyone had experience with mortgage loan modification please let me know what are the steps to to lowering my mortgage payments.

The taxes in our area when up drastically. My friend asked me to review his tax bill and I noticed he did not have a Homestead or Mortgage exemption. He has a 30 year mortgage on the property and it is his only & primary residence. He’s had the mortgage for five years. Is there a way for him to recoupe some of those taxes because he didn’t have those exemptions. Is his mortgage company responsible?
What about the back money that is owed to him because the county was over charging because he did not have those exemptions for 5 years

Working with a mortgage company to refinace my home and the agent keeps telling me not to worry, we will close guarnateed. Now after a month and we still havent closed, we havent made a house payment in 2 months because he told us not to, and now the loan may not close because we are late with the mortgage payment. What do we do?

I have never had a job. I am self-employed with ample cashflow to make mortgage payments, but no bank I have asked will let me take out a mortgage without two years of tax returns.
Correct – I don’t read / watch the news.
I wouldn’t be so daft as to speculate. I’m joining forces with someone who has been in the industry for years – one who has successfully (and consistently) flipped houses in today’s market.

Let’s stay on topic.

My building suffered damage with a hail storm. The insurance company sent me a check made out to the mortgage company and to me. Now the Mortgage company is holding the funds and I can’t finish the repairs needed. My mortgage payments are up to date.
The repairs are done, the Mortgage company inspected the repairs and they are holding the depreciation check. Would anyone know why?

My partner and I are first time home buyers. We have saved almost 20% of the property and both have secure well paying jobs. Unfortunately we do not know much about mortgages and want to get the best deal possible. Should we see more than on broker? Should we get our own mortgage quotes as well? Do we have to pay trailing commissions?

Our 2nd mortgage company is suing us for $25,000 (the balance on our 2nd after they signed off the lien for the short sale). They have submitted paperwork to attach 25% of our wages until it is paid off? Is their any legal way out of this?
