Jumbo mortgages are not so different from standard mortgages but there are a few key things that are worth looking in to.
Jumbo Mortgage Loans
A jumbo mortgage loan is a loan taken for property that is high-priced.. In Colorado, as in most of the U.S., a jumbo mortgage loan is any mortgage that exceeds $417,000 – the limit set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for conforming loans.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two agencies that buy the majority of real estate mortgages, will not finance loans greater than $417,000 in most states; however Alaska, Hawaii, and a couple others are exceptions. Therefore, the large jumbo mortgage loans are sold to other investments, often banks and insurance companies, and so a jumbo mortgage loan falls into a different category. Rates for a jumbo mortgage are also higher than conforming loans because there is more risk involved.
What This Means for Jumbo Mortgage Interest
The size of a jumbo mortgage loan means there is more to lose. The size, coupled with other factors, results in somewhat higher jumbo mortgage rates than those carried by conforming loans. Since percentage points on jumbo mortgage rages can mean sizable payment differences, buyers should shop around for a good lender when applying for a jumbo mortgage loan in order to find the best rate. Buyers should shop around for a good lender when applying for a jumbo mortgage loan in order to find the best rate.
In truth, jumbo mortgage interest rates are only one thing to consider when shopping for a jumbo mortgage. There are additional fees and closing costs to be considered that could even out the difference in jumbo mortgage rates. Sometimes, the company with the jumbo mortgage rates is actually the cheapest, all things considered.
Also, buyers shopping for good jumbo mortgage interest rates need to consider their goals, plans, and all of their options. Like conforming mortgages, jumbo mortgages are offered in a variety product lines. Buyers have the option of taking out loans with adjustable jumbo mortgage rates with 3 or 5 year locked rates that adjust after that period, or 15 or 30 year fixed jumbo mortgage rates that never change.
Deciding which type of product (variable or fixed jumbo mortgage interest rate) is better for you depends on whether you plan to stay in the home for more than that locked 3-5 year period, or whether you will refinance the loan within 3-5 years anyway.
Buyers should not be scared off from higher jumbo mortgage rates; jumbo mortgage rates are higher only by a quarter of a point or so for well qualified buyers. What’s more, jumbo mortgages are the only option for home buyers in many parts of the country because $417,000 really isn’t that high a price in today’s housing market. As a matter of fact, jumbo mortgage loans are the only type available in many areas. The best way to find a good jumbo mortgage loan is the find a reputable and experienced lender with good rates. A great mortgage lender will take the time to understand your needs so they can help you select an appropriate product.

here's a calculator.. toss around your own numbers.
more false BS–actually ACORN along with congress forced lenders to give credit to people with poor credit–and banks got greedy and did what they asked. That coupled with poor financial awareness of the borrower not reading thier loan documents caused the problem..
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..
creditreport.imess.net – try this service to boost you credit score before getting loan. After credit repair you can get the loan with minimal interest rate.
I don't know the numbers, but it is an astronomical amount.
There won’t be a next one.
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
The problems we are experiencing are not caused by sub-prime. It is a break down in society that is causing this problem! Japan experienced a decade known as the “Lost Decade.” Japan is now experiencing two decades of economic turmoil due to this crisis. The 3rd decade is starting for them! We are just starting down a similar path, so how long will our economic problems last? The US will not have a “Lost Decade,” but will have a “Lost Generation” due to how in debt young people have become.

nawkrm ……bud, that’s exactly what has been happening in Australia here, in Queensland they were called the ‘RENO KINGS’…..they buy a house that needs work, cheap as!… very cheap and tacky fittings and even used secondhand fixtures, sold it at a silly price within 1 to 3 months and people fell for it. Then there are the people with property portfolio’s, there to blame as well. From what I am hearing those people are becoming very worried.
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.
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.
You’re absolutely right. People took out mortgages they knew they couldn’t afford simply because they expected to make a quikc profit by flipping the properties. The banks made those loans available, but those greedy flippers are the ones who chose to take a risks.
This problem can’t be addressed it can only be endured… However, enduring something like this will be impossible for our economy now that we have allowed the fed to waste the revenue for the next 30 years on failed bail outs.
