Q: I have a residential lot on a lake that I paid $39,000 for and now I can sell it for around $215,000. Can I pay off my mortage with the profit without paying taxes on the profit? If so, how long do I have to do so? Thanks

A: I am not an accountant but I do believe you have to take the whole 215,000 as capital gains but i would consult your accountant.

Q: I tried doing a debt consolidation and ended up with 3 mortgages. Total is $76,000 but I think the house is worth more like the mid 60s. The interest rates vary from 7.04%-19.98%. I have lost the job I had initially due to cuts and am trying to get a lower payment. Currently I'm not behind and not in foreclosure. One company said they could do FHA at @ 6% and work a short sale with the 3 mortgage companies. Does this sound right?

Answered 05/07/08 13:56:31 by Mike Warsop,

A: no that doesn't sound right---if you are refinancing you can't work a short sale only if you are selling can you do that---you would need to finance a maximum of 97.75% of the value of the home but you must be employed and have a debt to income ratio of less than 50%.

Q: Can you fund a 332 condo project, quickly. Lots of equity and pre-solds

A: I am sorry but my company only does residential lending not commercial.

Q: I am 10 years from retirement, with $42,000 left on a 5.875%mortgage that will be paid off in 7 years. My current savings etc. is scheduled to just meet my retirement goals. What are the advantages in beginning to pay off the mortgage faster, versus putting more $ into a 401K? (I don't have enough exemptions to warrant filing long forms, so the interest is not dedeductible.) Thanks

Answered 04/28/08 09:11:40 by Mike Warsop,

A: Hi Tom, I would put it in your 401k so you can defer taxes since you are not paying enough interest to do that on your tax return

Q: I am trying to find the best mortgage solution for business owners. I was going to try to go stated because my accountant works my expenses in to reduce my taxable income. This in turn makes it appear that I can't afford the mortgage I want. I have talked to a lot of brokers and it seems there are not many stated programs available. So, I was wondering if I could just do a regular or fha loan. The purchase price is 296,000. I will have 3-5% down. My scores are 707,684,677. My income is around $9750/mo. Debt to income is around 36%. I have no W2's as a business owner, I just write myself checks. Do you think I can get an FHA with 3% down? What other options do I have?

A: It was nice speaking to you and I look forward to working with you. Stated income loans are a dying breed right now and you can do as little as 10% down with a 680 credit score the main problem is finding an m.i. company to insure the loan.

Q: difference between a 250,000.00 15 year mortgage vs a 30 yr mortgage

Answered 04/22/08 08:52:41 by Mike Warsop,
Loan Originator for Gold Mortgag

A: Hi Jerry, Rate on a 15 would be about 5.5% and 30 would be around 6.5% the principal and interest on the 15 would be 2042 while tthe 30 would be 1580. Feel free to call me at 913-244-9612 if i can help you with any mortgage needs. Thanks, Mike

Q: My husband and I are in the market for a house, we currently own a condo. His FICO credit score is 650 and mine is 571. Our annual income together is around $73k and we are looking in the range of $200 - $220k. Because my score is so low would that bring the interest rate up or should he just apply for a loan only in his name. If he applies only in his name would we still be able to get approved for a house in the range we are looking to buy?

A: HI Kay, I don't think you have much to fall back on unfortunately --- if you put a lien on it behind 897,000 worth of liens then you will get nothing---i think the best possibility is to contact countrywide and purchase the property once the own it.

Q: I'm tired of paying rent!! I would like to buy a townhome or condo, $50,000 to $80,000 price range. I am single, probably have a bit too much credit card debt, but have a good credit rating.Due to serious health problems in my family, I have no savings account now and no down payment. I have heard of grants that can help pay for down payment and closing costs. What type of loan would I be eligible for and do you know of these institutions that have these grants. I am also female, age 56, and work for the Highway Patrol. Any special programs for that demographic? Thanks.

A: Hi Ann, we could definitely look into the grant programs for whichever county you decide to purchase---i have not seen a lot of grant money out there recently probably because of the credit crunch. I would love to help you with that transaction and feel free to call me at 913-244-9612. Thanks, Mike

Q: Hello Mike - I have a multiple part question - our situation: We want to buy a house - listed at $224,900 - we will not have alot for downpayment 3% max. We are not married. He made $80,000 last year and I made $59,300. He pays child support of $1000 a month and other than car and house has no other debt but he has low credit score due to some charge offs and late pays after a divorce - he is current now and has been for more than a year. I have aprox. $65,000 in CC and loans so my Score is low due to too much credit - I pay all bills on time no lates but have a couple of small medical collections. I am guessing our scores are in the 600 - 640 range his better than mine right now even though I pay everything on time. I would hope to be in the $1700 a month range for a payment (taxes on house $4300, Insurance $600) Would like to offer the sellers $220,000 or higher with cash back at closing or for closing. The house will appraise for anywhere between $225,000 - $240,000. questions - Could we be approved for a loan together? Or would it be better to persue in his name and list me as additional income (rent?). Given our low scores what is best rate we are looking at right now? Can we look at a 7yr ARM or Interest only for 5-7 yrs as there will be no more Child support in 7 years. What advice can you give? I need to know if it is even an option to get this loan so that we can list our house and make an offer on the house we wish to buy. Thanks - Sandi

A: you can look at this loan together---you will want to go fha and a 5 year arm is the longest loan possible give me a call at 913-244-9612 and we can get started on getting you guys approved. Thanks, Mike

Q: I have heard alot of advertisement from individuals or companies who have offered to tell you how to pay off your mortgage in 2-3 years and with the same income you already have. These companies normally want you to pay a fee to find out how to do this. What I want to know is is there really a way to pay off a 30 year mortgage in 2-3 years without tripling and quadrupling your payment everymonth? I do know that if you send an extra payment per year that will knock some time off your mortgage but paying it off in 2-3 years without even adding more to your payment sounds a little far fetched.

Answered 04/15/08 10:16:11 by Mike Warsop,

A: Lets say the principal of your loan is 100,000 then in 2 years time you must pay 100,000 plus any interest over the 2 years thus a minimum payment would be 4333 just to pay the 100k in principal plus any interest. i have read about some of the plans from these so called economists and i don't like the premise for most of them-feel free to call me and we can discuss your options. my number is 913-244-9612. thanks, Mike

Q: Mike, We are a little embarassed by this but here goes...we were paying on our mortgage and were contacted by well's fargo asking us if we were interested in combining some other debt to our mortgage...we were @6.875% 30 yr @ that time and had been paying on that note for 4yrs....we went with a 9.99% loan fixed for 15 yrs instead...we asked @ that time if that % was'nt a little high (our credit score is 640)we paid off some small credit card debt with the extra $ added on to our new mortgage(our house appraised for more @ that time...now with the rates so low and especially for a 15 yr note we would like to go with someone else and refinance again...wells fargo does'nt want to lower our fixed rate very much (8.75)what should we do? Do you think that it is worth shopping around to try and get a better fixed rate for 12 yrs pay off?....we owe 120,000 and our house is worth 130,000 now.We were not very bright were we.? Remember,wells fargo contacted us,we did not look to them.Thanks

Q: I am looking to buy a house in about two months. My credit scores are 643, 644, and 596. My annual income is 52K. I should have the 3% down payment when I am ready to buy. Will I have trouble getting a loan? Approximately what amount and what interest rate can I expect?

Q: I recently moved in with my fiance, and am trying to sell my home. It's been on the market for 5 months now, and am thinking of just renting it out. But I'd like to refinance. Since the property isn't presently rented, can I refinance as an owner-occupied? My credit score is 800. I owe 108k, and the property is valued at approximately 120-125k.

A: Hi Jason, Most programs make it be off the market for 3 months but i do have a couple that as long as you take it off the market i can refinance right away---feel free to call me at 913-244-9612. Thanks, Mike

Q: What is a floating mortgage loan?

Answered 04/03/08 16:29:56 by Mike Warsop,
Loan Originator for Gold Mortgag

A: i think you meant floating rate which means you don't lock it in so if rates go down you can get a better rate also if they go up you will have to take the higher rate
