Refinance
Are you thinking of refinancing your current California home loan? Many factors go into determining when and if it is a right time to do a California refinance a home loan. Interest rates, costs etc. all play a part and understanding what is available is key to a successful refinance. Pre-2007, lenders were fairly loose with their guidelines and so thousands of people took advantage of the low interest rates that were available. In 2008, things are much different as guidelines are much tighter then before. Gone are the days of easy money, but California interest rates overall remain low.
California Home Loan Tip: When deciding between a fixed rate and an adjustable rate program take in to consideration your short and long terms goals for the loan (not the property). Why the loan and not the property? Well you might be in the property for 30-years but it's a virtual guarantee you will not have the same loan for 30-ears. So consider things like: Education, Home Improvements, Investments and other things to make an accurate forecast as to how long you plan on keeping the home loan.
What should you look for with your next refinance? Besides the low rate, you should find a Mortgage Consultantyou can trust. And the best advice I can give is ask alot of important questions, and keep asking until you have your answer. A good Mortgage Consultant will not only have great terms for his/her clients, but also be willing to answer any questions you have. And they wont mind if you ask more then once.

Dodging The Deal Buster: How many times has a deal gone south at the last minute because the loan officer on the deal could not deliver what he'd promised? How many times has a client of yours received a higher-than-quoted interest rate when they signed the loan documents? These are major problems that plague the mortgage industry that need to be resolved. When your clients use a loan officer that fails them, it very well could reflect negatively on you. How can you ensure such problems do not happen? Easy. There are three very simple steps to ensure every single transaction goes as smoothly as possible.
Tracking Mortgage Interest Rates: It's not uncommon when I first speak with a potential client to hear the following: I'm tracking rates at.... (enter website) and I'm shopping around so give me your best deal! Regular readers of this website know that I encourage clients to do their research on what is going on in the mortgage industry. What I do caution on, when you're doing your research, is to make sure you get the full story and not just a snap shot. This is even more important when tracking interest rates at only one website. Why? Because websites use different surveys, which survey different lenders, which don't always reveal the true cost of the loan, which....you get the point. Every survey is different.
Debt Consolidation: Pay off high interest rate credit cards and loans. Trade in your high payments for one easy, low monthly payment. Lower your monthly payments every month even if your credit is less-than-perfect! This may be your golden opportunity to lower your monthly payments. My team and are very experienced in debt consolidation and we are waiting to help you. The most important reason any client would and should consider utilizing a debt consolidation refinance is because the new mortgage loan usually can help eliminate the harassing phone calls from your creditors and the debt collectors they employ (if it has gone that far). It's also designed to consolidate all of your high interest rate bills into one monthly payment that is slightly lower then what you previously paid in order to help alleviate some of your financially induced stress. Another benefit with a debt consolidation mortgage loan is the ability for you to keep from filing bankruptcy and allowing you to stay recognized as a credit worthy consumer.
