Nothing benefits the consumer in this bill. Sure you will be able to stay in your home at a reduced monthly payment and have your mortgage at 40 or even 50 years. Banks win on this one. If you sell after 10 years you will still owe a substantial amount of money for your loan.

He would say no. Moving money is not changing your behavior. Plus the cost of refinance would be expensive and that money could instead be used to pay down the other debt. He would say good job on getting the investment property down but now concentrate on your lowest debt and knock it out.

Set up your debts smallest to largest and start the attack. Then build your emergency fund then invest and then attack your two mortgages.

Keep listening to Dave and follow his advice.

Quit thinking “Monthly Payments”. The banks want you to think that way. It is only a 6.25% interest rate if you pay it off in the first year of the loan. Sure your payment would lower but your balence on the house would not. Instead of paying the bill early, pay extra money on the principle. Your paying 90% interest on the monthy statements. Dont pay early, pay extra only to the principle. This wont lower your payments but it will lower the amount that you owe on the home.

If you’re looking into applying for an FHA mortgage loan, there are some things you really should know first. This article explains the pros and cons to FHA mortgage loans and expels some of the common myths involved.

For low-income and bad credit borrowers, the FHA’s mortgage loan program can sound like a dream come true. Many borrowers have heard that the FHA won’t look at your credit, needs less money down, and approves applicants that other banks won’t. What are the facts and what are the myths? Read on to find out.

Fact or Myth #1 – The Government Loans Money

The first common myth of FHA loans is that the US government’s Federal Assistance Mortgage (FHA) program actually loans out money. This isn’t the case.

An FHA loan is simply a bank/credit union loan that is backed by a guarantee from the government. If you fail to pay the mortgage, the government guarantees that they will repay the bank instead.

Because of this guarantee, the bank’s lending requirements are much looser, because they’re taking less risk.

Fact or Myth #2 – Your Credit Doesn’t Matter

This is a half myth, half truth. While the FHA won’t base your loan on your FICO score, your credit history is still important.

What the FHA is looking for is a solid history of at least 12 months, where the borrower has made all his payments on time. Instead of looking at just your credit report, the FHA may also look at your phone bills, rent history, utilities, among other bills to demonstrate your credit worthiness.

You also get the chance to demonstrate why you may have a bad credit score. For example, if you have an outstanding history of making on-time payments up until a medical emergency, and since then still managed to pay your consumer debts, you may still qualify for an FHA loan.

Fact or Myth #3 – An FHA Loan is a Better Deal

While it’s true that an FHA loan entails less risk for banking institutions and therefore they can charge less, an FHA loan may not always be a better deal.

The FHA is designed to be a self-sustaining institution, and therefore has to make money as well, in the form of insurance paid to the FHA.

For low income or bad credit borrowers, FHA backed loans are almost always the better deal. For medium income or average credit, research and comparison is necessary to be sure whether FHA is for you or not.
