Get Cash Out

I will help you determine what exact loan product makes the most sense for taking cash out of your home. Refinancing and taking cash out using a new first mortgage or a home equity loan, or both depends on your financial goals, the interest rates, your tax rate and more.

I will help you choose the ideal program with the lowest weighted annual percentage rate and payments to meet your personal needs and goals.

Lower Your Payment—Save Money

If interest rates fall below your current mortgage rate, refinancing may be a great idea. The old idea that rates must be 2 full percentage points below your existing loan is not true. A drop of as little as 1/2% could save you thousands of dollars. I’ll help analyze your personal needs and goals and find the right loan at the lowest costs possible.

A variety of loan terms, no-point rate options and lower closing cost loans have greatly decreased the rate difference needed to make refinancing profitable.

I will always help you determine what loan program will best suit your needs and goals, whether it is an interest only loan or some other program.

Fannie Mae to Loosen Restrictions on Refinancing with DU Refi Plus™

In conjunction with the government's new program called Making Home Affordable, lender Fannie Mae now offers the Desktop Underwriter (DU) Refi Plus Program. This home mortgage refinancing program hopes to prevent unnecessary foreclosures by lowering monthly mortgage payments for millions of eligible homeowners.

What It Means For You Mortgage rates are now at a record low. Through refinancing, Americans can take advantage of these low rates and reduce their monthly payment. This will generate more monthly cash flow for millions of families across the nation; the government hopes this will spark spending and help to boost the economy.

Another goal of the DU Refi Plus Program is to help at-risk homeowners stabilize their finances. This means that Fannie Mae and other lenders will now turn riskier loans, such as Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARM), into more stable loans, such as Fixed-Rate Mortgages (FRM).

Fewer Restrictions Than Before The DU Refi Plus Program will ease the economic burden that millions of Americans face. One way to do this is simply by offering financial assistance to homeowners who were previously ineligible. Under the new DU Refi Plus Program, Fannie Mae reduces eligibility restrictions and requires fewer documents to apply.

· Previously, Fannie May required applicants to show two current pay stubs as income verification. Under the DU Refi Plus Program, applicants can show only one current pay stub.

· On certain loans, Fannie Mae will now waive appraisals.

· Previously, Fannie May would not handle loans over 80% of your home's market value. Now, applicants may have a loan-to-value (LTV) between 80-105%.

· Fannie May will now accept applicants with a credit score less than 580, if their LTV is 80% or less.
