Refinancing my house?
I started the refinance process on my house 11 weeks ago. To this date I am getting nothing from my broker who says she is still working on this. To start with a little background. I filed bky 2 years ago. I bought my house about 10 months ago at a high interest rate and was told I could refi as soon as my bky was 2 years old that was beg of aug. We have since been told by the broker trying to find me a lender that we wouldnt have any problems so after the 1st appraiser for conventional loan then went VA appraiser for a VA loan. The house has appreciated from 158,000 which I bought it for to 229,000. I have also put in 15,000 worth of work into the home since I have purchased it. I have had nothing bad on my credit since my bky nothing late everything on time. What on earth could the hold up be? Is the market really that bad that with as much equity that I know have in the home that the past BKY is killing me like this? By the way I live in Murray, Utah.
I really dont know how it appraised for more. All I do know is that the home appraisal from the sale was for 158,000 in Nov 06, I purchased the home at this price in Dec 06 the 15,000 in upgrades was a complete remodel of the kitchen and bathroom as well as stripping out the carpeting to hardwood floors and installing central air and a new furnace. I appraised in Aug 07 at 221,000 and then reappraised under VA in Sept 07 for 229,000. I dont know how that works either thats just what the appraisers have said.
to the poster about the va loan requiring 4 years the va website has this to say about it.
Q: Can I get a VA loan if I have had a bankruptcy in the last few years?
A: The fact you and/or your spouse have been adjudicated bankrupt does not in itself disqualify you for a VA home loan. The following rules apply:
If the bankruptcy was discharged more than 2 years ago, it may be disregarded
If the bankruptcy was discharged within the last 1 to 2 years, it is probably not possible to determine that you and/or your spouse are a satisfactory credit risk unless both of the following requirements are met:
you and/or your spouse have reestablished satisfactory credit, and
the bankruptcy was caused by circumstances beyond your and/or your spouses control (such as unemployment, medical bills, etc.)
If the bankruptcy was discharged within the past 12 months, it will not generally be possible to determine that you and/or your spouse are satisfactory credit.
looks like 2 years?

InfoChoice Interview on Sky News – June 17th, 2009
Sky News Interview with Shaun Cornelius. Research from financial comparison experts InfoChoice.com.au shows that the reluctance of Australian consumers to shop around for the best deal is costing them $2.7 billion in excess mortgage repayments each year. Despite the major banks continuing to offer significantly higher interest rates than other smaller competitors in the marketplace, 90 per cent of new home loans are currently being provided by the Big Four. The InfoChoice research found that as a result this weeks latest rate rises from the major banks, more than 60 home lenders currently offer better mortgage rates than the CBA, Westpac, ANZ and NAB.

what homeowners will obama help with his stimulus package?
being that my career, for 26 years, has been the CEO and president of a national real estate consultation and brokerage/trade/investment company, i know a LOT about mortgages. without looking at a book, i could, this minute, tell you of at least 13 different types of mortgages, but there are more, many more.
are any of you homeowners out there that have gotten the bank foreclosure notice also believers in the economic stimulus package that president obama promised to give to you to help you keep your home and to help you work so you can keep it? (did you really believe that his “change” was going to help you)?
please tell me, if you face foreclosure and you voted for obama for president, what factors of his promises made you vote for him? did you believe he could fix your problems? how so?
this is an article that will show you all, both homeowners not in trouble and homeowners in trouble, precisely WHO obama will help refinance his house, that house that the democrats told you to buy when you could not afford it to begin with:
http://www.vote.com/mmp_printerfriendly.php?id=1399
i.e., for years and years on end, i watched some of my agent’s clients take on a 36% housing expense ratio (using 36% of their gross income per month to pay for the principal, interest, taxes, and insurance/assessments on a mortgage for a home, a/k/a “the PITI of a mortgage”) which i felt was too high, but they got through until their incomes rose so that it became a lower percentage of their gross income per month in order to buy a house with either no money down or with a very low down payment, but they are not facing foreclosure right now because they bought in the time period of the historical cycle of seller’s and buyers markets. that is this: 2 years of a seller’s market followed by 5 years of a buyer’s market, again and again and again. but now, prices rose for 8 straight years!
now, so many properties that were purchased by those of you that could not afford them from 2000 through 2008 are on the [foreclosure price] market right now, blocks and blocks of them as you walk down a street, boarded up so that squatters do not loot them to further erode their price (a/k/a “value”). and it makes me sick that you believed with your hearts that you could afford them by your working 2 to 3 jobs at one time.
lenders are now beginning to hold auctions of theses overpriced homes for those that can buy them with a 20% down payment–but you could not come up with that, could you? the mess all began in the democrat clinton’s administration, but many of you out there blame it on bush.
did you really believe that mr. obama would help you keep your house?
if you read the current news, you will find out that numerous banks that got a handout of billions and billions of dollars just before bush left office and obama was sworn in are going to repay their debt because they used that bailout money as investment capital on other investment vehicles than real estate in america, making all of it back by now, so quickly, because they don’t like the “strings” that obama has attached to that money, for instance, a cap on bank executives’ income. actually, they should have used it to refinance your loan if you face foreclosure, perhaps into a 100 year or more fixed rate mortgage, but they did not. they were not held accountable for what they did with our money.
and so i want to know, do you believe that mr. obama and his democratic congress are out to protect your interests? will the stimulus package that can “change” it all give you a job right NOW that will provide you with a gross income per month that will support your monthly payment of the PITI of a mortgage on that house that you bought, overpriced and under funded, up to only 31% of your gross monthly income? when will you get that job? will you get it after you lose your house? then what will you think of mr. obama’s “change?”
are you angry that obama’s stimulus package is actually going to put you out on the street? or do you still believe that he will “change” your life for the better?
who is the “we” that can and will help YOU?
again, read this. you will hear more of it in the media on TV in the next week or so:

Home Refinancing Steps
While the home refinancing steps in general are pretty much the same for everybody, there are always little differences, depending on who your new mortgage lender is, and the lender or lenders who will be paid out of your current loans. As a borrower, it is very important that you understand the home refinancing steps.
A crucial first step in refinancing your home will be to determine the current market value of your home. In an ideal world, this valuation would represent the price that you could obtain if you were to sell your home on the open market.
Unfortunately, in some parts of the country it can be very difficult to obtain market value when selling your home right now. The mortgage lender who will provide your new mortgage will decide on a valuation of your home against which they will be prepared to loan you money.
This valuation may be lower than you think it should be, or even lower than the amount you want to borrow. In this case, you may actually have to stop and rethink whether to go on with the rest of the home refinancing steps.
If there is a shortfall between the amount your new lender is willing to advance, and the amount you need to pay off the existing mortgages, then refinancing your home may not be the right option for you at this time.
If the valuation comes back at an acceptable level, then you can proceed with the rest of the home refinancing steps.
You will need to provide your new lender with documentation showing your income and expenses, and also showing the current mortgage or mortgages, and what is owing on them. Do not try to conceal if you have missed a payment on your current mortgage – be honest with your new lender or you could end up in much worse trouble down the track.
Your new lender will do a credit check, and let you know a settlement date. That is the day when the old mortgage or mortgages will be paid out, and your new mortgage will begin.
There is nothing complicated or difficult about the home refinancing steps, but if you don’t like paperwork and dealing with banks, you may find you are very relieved to reach the end! Many people find the home refinancing steps stressful, but if you have chosen wisely you will find the results are worth it.
