How do I finance a house down payment while I am still making payments on the home I am trying to sell?
Friday, July 25th, 2008The buyer for our home just backed out and we have to close next Friday on the house we had made an offer on. We don’t have enough cash on hand without our equity in this house to make the down payment. Is there anyway we can get a loan to make the down payment so we can move ahead with the purchase. I would rather not get a bridge or finance 100%.
What is the smartest way to finance a rennovation on a house?
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008I’m looking to do some major rennovations on my house and figuring out the best way to finance it has been racking my brain. I just can’t figure out the pros & cons between refinancing, 2nd mortgages, home equity line of credits, etc.
A little background on the house, It is located in North NJ in a very high demand area. I bought the house over 6 years ago for $215k, it’s currently valued around $380k. Our current Mortgage is around $175k. I estimate my renovation to cost around $200k-$250k. We plan to be in this house for a long time. We’re looking to add a 2 car garage, extending the living room, redoing the kitchen and adding a master bedroom.
any advice on what direction I should head in and pifalls to look out for would be greatly appreciated.
What’s the best way to finance a real estate investment loan?
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008I’m planning to “flip” a house in the midwest, but I’m not sure how to go about financing. I plan to purchase the house for $130k, spend $20k in repairs, and sell for $160k. I would need to finance the purchase and repairs.
1) I don’t know what type of loan to go with
2) I don’t know if it’s better to go to a bank, like National City, a financing company, like CitiFinancial, or a different type of company…
What is the best way to finance a new home purchase and addition simultaneously?
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008How much will I have to finance on a new home after the price dropped?
Sunday, July 20th, 2008I signed to purchase a home for $700,000. House will not be done until April 2007. Between now and then, if the prices of the homes drop, will I be obligated to pay what I signed up for or do I only finance what the house is worth at the time?
FYI - contract was signed with a builder. You can not qualify for an amount more than the appraised value, shouldn’t this be reason for them to take the price down? Also, since it is quickly becoming a buyers market, shouldn’t I be able to leverage that and negotiate with the builder? Any suggestions on how I can do that?

Sunday, July 20th, 2008How possible would it be to finance a rather cheap house?
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Ok, this is starting to get rather confusing. I am looking to buy a home in a surprisingly cheap neighborhood. The house I am interested in purchasing is under $50,000. My credit qualifies me for a bad credit loan, but no one wants to finance for such a small amount. I am definately trying to live within my means and do not necessarily want to purchase a higher value home just because I can. Does anyone have any idea where I can finance such a house even though my credit is tarnished (but getting fixed due to multiple discrepencies)? I know there are different requirements depending on the state. My state is PA, and I am first time homebuyer.
What banks can finance a single family residence under 600 square feet?
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Hello. I am attempting to buy a foreclosure in San Diego that is a single family residence with a total square footage of 528. I was told it is difficult for banks to finance anything under 600 square feet. The house is in good shape but its tiny. I need financing asap since the bank already accepted my offer. Thanks.
