Accreditaion for Mortgage Brokers

Mortgage brokers are blossoming in the current environment and are gaining an increasing share of the mortgage market. This is great news because you should consult with a mortgage professional when you’re making one of the most important financial decisions of your life. But, keep in mind, that not all mortgage brokers have the same level of training and experience.
That’s why it’s such great news for Canadians that the mortgage industry now has national accreditation: the Accredited Mortgage Professional (AMP). When you meet with a mortgage broker with an AMP, you’ll be assured that your business is in the hands of a professional.
Canadians are accustomed to purchasing financial products like investments and insurance from an accredited professional. Now they can look for a similar professional designation from their mortgage expert.
Like similar accreditation programs for mutual fund sales people, or stock brokers, the AMP is designed to ensure an appropriate level of training and experience. Mortgage professionals from every field are eligible to acquire the accreditation: from mortgage brokers on the front lines to those who specialize in lending or mortgage insurance, for example.
While the vast majority of Ontario mortgage brokers take seriously the important responsibility that they have to their clients, the designation provides mortgage customers with a tool to help select their mortgage expert. This kind of designation is especially valuable in an industry where provincial regulations vary – and so a variety of practice standards are in place. A single national proficiency standard brings mortgage brokers in line with other financial professionals.
The AMP designation can now offer you confidence that your mortgage broker has industry experience, has taken ethics and industry training, and is committed to a program of ongoing education to retain their designation. In order to qualify for the designation, mortgage professionals must have at least five years experience or successfully complete a recognized mortgage professional proficiency course, and take an ethics training course. They must also commit to a minimum 10 hours of continuing education each year, and agree to be governed by the professional code of the national CIMBL organization.
With a growing number of Canadians now seeking the services of independent mortgage brokers to help them assess their mortgage options – in a $600 billion industry – the timing is perfect. It’s your money, after all, and you should have the tools to make the best possible decision. An independent mortgage broker can offer you the broadest range of mortgage rates and options. Now they can also offer you the added assurance of their newly minted designation: the AMP.

Mortgage Finance Experts: How will the market affect homeowners who will be refinancing next year?My parents bought their home 4 years ago at a 4% rate, which is due to change next year when their loan rate. With the market crunch and the new strict lending that's bound to occur as a result of this, they are worried about what refinancing has in store for them. The good news is that they have flawless credit (they successfully removed their PMI, and they are early every month on their mortgage payments —and they pay an extra couple of hundred dollars than they should. Not to mention their credit card debt is very low (only a couple of thousand dollars). They've both been at their great paying jobs for over a decade; but they are still worried about whether they will be able to secure a decent fixed rate when their mandatory refinance is up. Any hope?

The above article elucidates you on the actual subprime mortgage crisis in us. and the persons behind the mortgage fraud and all those who are to be directly blamed for this financial catastrophe.
It is not the lender’s job to make as much money as possible. It is their job to facilitate lending options in an ethical and legal way.
PMI protects the lender in case your loan goes into default. The only way to have it removed is when you owe less than 80% of your home's value.
the only problem is the government is not letting them get screwed
That depends on a few things.
How much equity do you have in your current home?
What is your credit score?
What is your debt load?
Yes you can get a 2nd mortgage on your current home to buy another, people do it all the time.
Your income must support maintaining your current home (you should be able to get a renter in there to offset the mortgage payment or some portion there of) and support your new mortgage.
You can get a loan with a BK. Many lenders require it to be discharged for 2 years, however, there are still a few lenders that will lend on a BK only being discharged 1 day.
In a nutshell, yes you can, if all your other ducks are in a row.
Good luck
I am enjoying this shit.
Burn, baby burn.
Stop living beyond your means, dumbasses!
When a senior lien forecloses, a junior lien is wiped out.
So if the first mortgage holder forecloses, the second trust deed goes away. If the second forecloses, you'll still owe the first.
Oftentimes, if a senior lien forecloses, the junior lien holder will send a representative to the auction to defend its interests by making sure the property goes for enough to pay the junior lien as well. Or they buy it themselves with the idea of reselling. Costs money, yes. But better than losing their whole investment.
What is the Key disfavors by Having Your Mortgage

all the ordinary working people who live within their means are paying for bankers greed and stupidity.
Speak to your lender about a FHA 203K loan. The 203K loan is sometimes refererred to as a "rehab loan". With a 203K you can have the kitchen/bedroom remodel costs put into your initial loan. The rehab must have estimates up front and also must be done by an approved contractor.
The home must be able to be appraised at the completed price. For example:
Say the home is listed at $150,000 and has an old outdated kitchen and bathroom. Before making an offer you get estimates from an approved FHA203K contractor for remodeling the kitchen and bathroom. The estimates come in at $30,000.
An appraiser will then appraise the home as if the remodel has already been done. As long as the home appraises at $180,000 you will be able to get the loan.
A big advantage to doing it this way is you do not need to have that $30,000 in hand or need to borrow the money later at higher rates. The rehab is done right away so you do not have to live with the outdated kitchen/bathroom. Your monthly payment on the loan on 150K vs 180K should amount to around $180/month additional.
you fuckin tossers you report on this shit situation and then dont show the whole picture (The truth) then expect people to pay for the info you are as bad as them shame on you
there is better quality stuff on here done by honest real people
JOURNEYMAN SUCKS.
i do not see any problem with you getting the refinance and i would not worry about the business end affected it!!!
barney frank,chris dodd,ACORN,and all other democrats forcing banks to give loans to PEOPLE WHO COULD NEVER PAY THEM BACK..
“We the People” of moderate income should be granted the right to borrow or refinance a low interest home mortgage loan based on income directly from the Fed which should be nationalized for the working class people of our nation” to end the mortgage slavery in America from the bank’s, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, FHA etc. “The Change We Need” must come from the Federal government.
