mesasa1978 asked:


We placed a bid on a bank-owned property ten days ago. We have not, as of yet, received a decision. We suspect the bank, Novastar Mortgage, is holding out for a higher bid. How legal or illegal is this practice?

How come my loan officer wants me to show my bank statements?

I was recently pre-qualified for a loan and the loan officer didn’t mention any other loan programs except for an FHA? I had to ask about the first time buyers program. I’m just wondering what are some other loan programs and where could I find out about them.

Is it possible to take a 200k loan and buy a 100k house?


Some loan office told me to take a loan and it’s at 200K. I found a house at 100K and is just planning to buy that. It’s a 2 rooms and 1 bathroom house. With the other 100K, I’m going to invest it and collect on the interest. Is it possible of me to do that? O also, I want the other 100K because like my mom and dad, they didn’t have any money at all in the bank or what so to pay their house so they had to sell it. Now if I had that extra 100K invest, I’m going to get at least a bit of % back right. Also if inflation happens, I can be able to use the other 100K to pay off the mortgage

Anyways, can anyone tell me about this? New to the game.

What happens to mortgages if the bank goes out of business and no one wants to buy them?

boilerette72 asked:


I hear that if a bank goes under other banks will buy these mortgages. But with so many mortgages exceeding values of homes, many banks might not want to buy the mortgages. What would happen if a bank goes under, and no one wants to buy their crappy mortgages?

How exactly do ‘interest only’ mortgage loans work? When do I pay on the principle of such a loan?


I know APR loans are a bad idea, but how would an interest-only loan work? Would it still be a 30 year note, or do they extend the loan? Would I be able to get a fixed rate with an interest-only mortgage loan?Submited by:ronidl76

What happens if a loan rejection happens after the option period is up and an offer is already made?

toni asked:


I heard FHA loans can take anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks to approve. If our option period is 10 days from today, and we get rejected for our loan 15 days from now, what happens? Do we just lose our earnest money and that’s it? Or is it a more serious problem, as we’ve already made an offer because we were preapproved?
