Rates are dropping!...

That's what I am hearing! The feds are cutting again, trying to find solutions & hopefully will have a positive impact on the country. Financing refis are a viable option. I am doing financing through my parent company now and received a note to act NOW!





The word on the street is that Fannie Mae is tightening up. The lenders are all but eliminating standard 100% mortgages that have been a staple in the recent past. FHA will still offer the 97% loan products with more flexibility than conventional. The qualification is going to getting tougher, even for those who have high credit scores, consistent incomes and some equity. All risk takes a hit. There is a risk attached to Home Equity Loans that are adjustable, too. Lenders who have a high home equity portfolios are being seen as higher risk. I am personally projecting rents to increase, even if property values are not increasing the same as they were before. Hello investors!
