Stated Income Mortgage loans fueled real estate sales over the last couple of years. It is said that these loan programs have also created the highest foreclosure rate in many years. Mortgage companies have increased credit scores for these programs drastically over the last few months. Do you qualify now? During the big real estate sales boom of 2004 through 2006, mortgage companies were getting more and more competitive by lowering the credit score requirements for stated income mortgage financing.
At one time, a home-buyer with a 580 credit score could secure one hundred percent financing to buy a home, without even proving his or her income! Well, as many people know the mortgage investors that were funding these easy to get approved type loans are either no longer in business or struggling to stay in business. Stated income mortgage programs were designed for home-buyers that were 1099 employees or self employed. Over the years, the requirements have changed greatly on these mortgage programs.
Now a W2 wage earner qualifies just as easily as a business owner, as long as they can reasonably state their income. When I say reasonably state their income, I don't mean a dishwasher at fast food joint stating that he makes $10,000 each month. Yes, that is unreasonable! The income stated must be in line with the national average for that particular profession or trade. Even sub prime lenders now also want to see a minimum of a 660 credit score to qualify for a 100 percent stated income mortgage financing program.
These programs are excellent for self employed or self made millionaires that have trouble documenting the income they make. Beware of mortgage brokers that ask you to state your income for far more than you actually earn each month. Over stating your income is a sure fire way to jeapordize your financial future. When looking into a stated income mortgage program, be sure to deal with only an experienced mortgage professional with a good reputation.

Homeowner Tax Tips
Homeownership comes with a lot of advantages, especially when it comes to tax time. Make sure you're not missing out on important home-related tax deductions. As always, please consult your tax advisor to find out which deductions apply to you.
Deducting Mortgage Interest
The interest you pay on a home mortgage is usually tax-deductible. You are allowed to deduct interest on multiple mortgages, as long as they add up to less than $1 million. The one criteria being that the money was used for buying, building or improving a home.
Every year, you should receive a "Form 1098" from your lender which details how much mortgage interest you paid. To claim this deduction, you need to fill out "Schedule A", under "itemized deductions" to record your interest deduction.
Home mortgage interest deductions can also include
late payment charges and pre-payment penalties. The only requirement is that they were not for a specific service received in connection with your home loan.
Deducting Real Estate Taxes
Real estate taxes are also tax-deductible. Your interest statement should list the amount of real estate taxes you paid if your taxes and homeowners' insurance were placed in an escrow account when you closed on your mortgage. If your real estate taxes aren't included on the statement, review your cancelled checks to figure out the total amount of real estate taxes paid.
Deducting Loan Points Paid on a Purchase
The points you pay on a loan for a home purchase are tax-deductible for the year you made the purchase. You can deduct the points you paid as well as those a seller paid on your behalf (see next item) if you meet the following criteria:
* The loan is secured by your primary residence;
* The loan was used to buy, improve or build the home;
* Paying points is a common practice in the seller's geographic area;
* The points are calculated as a percentage of the loan principal ;
* The points are clearly outlined on the buyer's settlement statement; and
* The amount of cash you put into the purchase of your home
(down payment , closing costs , etc.) is at least equal to the amount you were charged for the points you paid on the loan.
Deducting Seller Concessions
Sometimes, the seller will contribute money to the buyer to help cover the buyer's loan closing costs. The average concession is 3% of the sales price (with less than a 10% down payment).
Seller concessions can go towards buying down the interest rate, closing costs, discount points, and pre-paid items such as per diem interest, escrows and tax pro-rations. Again, seller-paid points are tax-deductible.
Deducting Loan Points Paid on a Refinance
PMI Buster Refinance Loan
If you refinanced in the last year, you may be able to deduct any points you paid to buy down the mortgage rate. These points must be deducted proportionately over the life of the loan. For example, if you took out a 30-year mortgage, you would deduct 1/30th of the points each tax year.
Many homeowners have overlooked an important tax opportunity. If you have refinanced more than once, you can deduct unclaimed points from an earlier refinance. Let's take an example:
You refinanced in 2003 and paid points. You then deducted 1/30th of those points in 2003 and 2004. However, rates continued to drop, so you decided to refinance again in 2005, paying off the 2003 loan. The remaining points you have not yet deducted can now be deducted in 2005. You could also use this deduction if you sold the house in 2005, rather than refinancing.
Deducting Interest on a Home Equity Loan
Interest paid on a home equity loan or line of credit may be tax-deductible up to $100,000. However, the deduction may be limited if the combined amount of your second and first mortgages total more than the property's actual value. For example:
Your home is worth $150,000 and you have a first mortgage for $125,000 and a home equity loan of $40,000. The two mortgages combined equal $165,000—that's $15,000 more than the value of your home. That means you can only deduct the interest on your home equity loan up to the amount of $25,000 (the difference between your home's value and your first mortgage).
If you still have questions, please call us at 800-251-9080 to talk to a refinance expert today. We can help you determine which refinancing option is best for your situation.

Mortgage Refinancing for the Self-Employed
America is a country that applauds its entrepreneurs, although you won't hear much cheering coming from mortgage bankers. That's because the self-employed-who often have complicated tax forms and show less income than their corporate counterparts-may have trouble qualifying for a conventional loan or mortgage refinance. But even a crabby banker would have to agree that there are significant reasons why the self-employed should consider becoming homeowners or tap into their home equity.
Fixed rates, shorter terms
Many people who are self-employed choose a fixed-rate mortgage instead of an adjustable-rate loan. It allows for easier planning, and there's no scrambling if your mortgage rate adjusts higher. You can also choose a shorter term, which allows you to pay off the mortgage earlier. This can result in more cash to invest in your business.
The documentation trap
It's often difficult for the self-employed to qualify for a mortgage loan due to complicated document needs and tax returns. In the past, a non-salaried worker could opt for a "lo-doc" or "no-doc" loan. But recently, the IRS has tightened guidelines for these types of mortgages, so they're harder to get. Contact your lender and find out what documents they'll need before applying for a home loan. These usually include two years of tax returns, a current profit and loss statement, and bank and investment account statements. If you're refinancing, they'll also need your pay-off balance, and information about your current mortgagor.
Deductible delight
One of the main gripes of the self-employed is that they must pay twice as much Social Security and Medicare taxes as an employee of a company. That's why the tax deductions that mortgages provide should be highly valued. The interest portion of your mortgage payment is tax-deductible, as are your property taxes. These two write-offs can help ease any heavy tax burden.
Embarking on a mortgage refinance is never an easy task, and it's particularly onerous for the self-employed. But as is usually the case for the ambitious entrepreneur, many of these obstacles are worth hurdling.

Don't Take Advantage of Your Second Mortgage
Make no mistake-a second mortgage is a financial tool that can fix many problems. Need to finance a college education? You can tap the equity in your home for those tuition payments. Want to improve your property with a new kitchen? A 2nd mortgage gets you the cash you need. Looking to start your own business? Home equity loans can be the hero.
While it's a great tool, it does have some potential shortcomings. Counting on your home equity to double as a savings account can be a risky proposition. Here are two examples of why relying on a home equity fix can leave you broke.
1. Mortgage rate spikes can rob you blind
Let's assume that you're counting on using your home equity loan or a refinance mortgage to pay for your child's college education. Perhaps when you developed this plan, rates were low, and a home equity loan, coupled with a tax deduction, seemed like cheap, easy money. Fast forward to your child's college years. Your plan has gone awry, as high interest rates make borrowing very expensive. If this were to happen, that "cheap" money would suddenly be very expensive, making it difficult to meet your monthly payments.
2. The bubble bursts
Anyone who's suffered through the recent housing market stagnation knows the dangers of buying high and borrowing low. If you purchased a home when values were at the peak, the market may have cooled and cut into your home's equity. Suddenly, when it comes time to tap all the money that you had counted on, you find that your home doesn't appraise as highly as it once did. As a result, there's no equity to borrow against, and you're short on funds.
There's no doubt about it-home equity is a great financial tool. But as these two examples indicate, treating it as a savings account can be risky. If you're planning some significant future expenses, beef up your savings while you're building equity. There are simply too many market forces that could work against you if you don't.

Refinancing Your Mortgage? Know the lingo
If the saying "familiarity breeds success" holds true, it would be in your best interest, if you're looking for a mortgage refinance, to understand the terminology. There's no need to pour over dry-as-dust mortgage textbooks. Learn a few basic terms, and you'll be headed in the right direction.
Adjustable-rate mortgage:
A loan with a periodically changing interest rate. The mortgage rate is pegged to a specific economic indicator such as treasury bills or the prime interest rate, for example. Terms can vary greatly, and often offer very low introductory rates during the early years.
APR:
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is intended to include all of a lender's closing costs, giving a true yearly interest rate. However, many lenders calculate their APRs in different ways.
Fixed-rate mortgage:
A loan in which the rate is set at the time of closing and is constant throughout the mortgage term.
Good Faith Estimate:
Lenders are required by law to produce a Good Faith Estimate, which details all the costs you'll be charged to close your loan.
Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio:
The ratio of your loan amount to the appraised value of your home. (Loan amount/appraised value = Loan-to-value ratio.) Generally expressed as a percentage, a higher LTV can trigger the need for private mortgage insurance or a higher rate.
Points:
A point on a mortgage is 1 percent of the total loan value. For example, a point on a $100,000 mortgage is $1,000 (.01 X $100,000).
Term:
The length of time that you have to repay your mortgage loan. Generally expressed in years, the typical term for most mortgages is 15 to 30 years.
Third party fees:
Charged by vendors, such as appraisers and title companies, these are fees that your lender uses to assess the quality of your loan.
There are plenty of other commonly used mortgage terms, but these are the basics. Study up if you have time. Like any educational initiative, it's bound to pay off in the end.

Cash-Out Refinance Versus Home Equity Loans
Let's say you have a home that's worth $150,000 and you owe $100,000 on the mortgage. That means you have $50,000 of equity in your home, which is like having $50,000 in a savings account. A cash-out refinance allows you to access that equity. For instance, if you need $10,000, you can refinance your mortgage so that you owe $110,000 and the lender then gives you $10,000 in cash at closing.
With a home equity loan, you keep your original mortgage and take out a second mortgage for the amount of equity you are tapping into.
Since every homeowner's situation is different, your best option will depend on your specific circumstances. Quicken Loans has several mortgage options to choose from. When you compare home equity loans and cash-out refinance further, there are four things you should consider in order to determine what's best for you:
Speed
How fast do you need the money? Home equity loans close considerably faster than a refinance – in as little as five days. That might be important to you.
Cost
Home equity loans typically require minimal fees. Refinancing, on the other hand, may carry higher loan fees and possibly points .
Rate
Because a home equity loan is a second mortgage , it typically has a higher rate than a cash-out refinance (a reflection of its higher risk to the lender). But if you already have a great rate on your mortgage, it may be worthwhile to get a home equity loan — even at a higher rate — rather than refinance and lose the low rate you already have on your first mortgage.
Term
When refinancing, you are generally limited to a term of 15 or 30 years. With a home equity loan, you have more flexibility and can take advantage of a shorter term — greatly reducing your overall interest costs.
A Quicken Loans mortgage expert can help you compare a cash-out refinance or a home equity loan. With your own personal mortgage expert to guide you, you'll have no trouble determining which type of loan is right for you.
If you still have questions, please call us at 800-251-9080 to talk to a refinance expert today. We can help you determine which refinancing option is best for your situation.

Purchase the Home of Your Dreams
Our planet is a hi-tech gizmo world today. Sophisticated equipment surrounds our lives. Now the demands have exceeded the supplies and the dollar has reached a level of exhaustion. Our motto has become to buy and own as many stuff as possible. It is also not feasible to own every thing. Therefore it is for us to decide what is best for us and what is not. The contemporary market too takes our wishes into a lot of consideration. That is the major reason why we have financial help and mortgages. The mortgage that we concentrate here is the purchase mortgage.
A prospective purchaser has to always present a request in order to meet the criteria required for a mortgage. This is the time when a purchase mortgage application is submitted. The tracking system of a purchase mortgage is very unlike than the other types of mortgage applications In the United States of America, the Mortgage Banker's Association carries out a study every week. This study extracts information of all major mortgage applications. It makes use of a listing to assess the variations in the quantity of loan applications.
For Instance, if you are interested in purchasing the home of your dreams, your first step will be to acquire a purchase mortgage application. Because of this very reason, it foretells brief period transactions in a rather fine way. It comes a s a very lucrative offer in all dealings regarding acquisition of a house. Even for buying various other possessions, we require moolah and this moolah is provided by a mortgage most of the times. So, the most important step is to purchase a mortgage lead. There are of course certain pointers to be taken into deliberation -
The purchase mortgages have to be genuine. They have to be taken as a rule by reputed banks, bankers or finance companies. One definitely has to be wary of deceitful loan givers, which can cost them greatly.
Sometimes people who want to acquire a house try to merge their debts in their new purchase mortgage. It might seem to be a good idea at that time. But what most people fail to see is that even though the monthly dues become less, total payment of your dues is done more at a snail's pace.
A purchase mortgage is quite difficult to buy. The complexity les in the fact that there is a finishing date. The borrower has to provide the complete funding within that period to draw the purchase to an end.
Even lenders have to decide whether you are a candidate who can be trusted easily or not. You can be marked as a perfect candidate for a mortgage if you adhere to the following principles-
Your credit and money disbursement patterns are good. There are no late payments or paying only the minimum amount due.
Your income is also taken into notice. The lenders like to see your earning capability.
The value of your home is also under scrutiny. So it is a must to be aware of the property trends in your vicinity.
Hence the bottom line is that there are millions of Americans who are drowned in debts to acquire their dreams. It is the duty of the government as well as the private bankers and finance companies to assist them as much as possible to make their dreams to purchase mortgage come true.
