When a conventional loan is not possible an Equity Based Loan can be the solution.

If you have Equity in your property you may qualify for a loan up to 70% Loan to Value. For Example, if you owe $550,000 and your home is worth a $1,000,000 you may qualify for a loan up to $700,000.

In most cases the homeowner has a 1st mortgage and in some cases a 2nd mortgage also. If you already have a 2nd mortgage you can refinance the 2nd mortgage with an Equity Based Loan or in some cases be approved for a 3rd mortgage.

If your property is in Foreclosure or there is a Trustee Sale an Equity Based Loan may allow you to reinstate your mortgage by paying off the past due amount.

Most Equity Based Loans will be for a term of 3 years. The payments will be interest only and amortized over 30 years.

Equity Based Loans will have Interest Rates ranging from 7.95% up to 12%.

Equity Based Loans are meant to be short-term solutions.

Poor Credit, a prior Bankruptcy, Self Employement are not a problem. Your property can either be Owner-occupied, a Rental or a Rehab.

The main qualification is Equity in the property and your ability to make the interest-only monthly payment.

HARP II - Home Affordable Refinance Program for Underwater Borrowers

PROGRAM EXPIRED ON DECEMBER 31, 2018.

HOME AFFORDABLE REFINANCE PROGRAM (HARP)
If you are current on your mortgage and have been unable to obtain a traditional refinance because the value of your home has declined, you may be eligible to refinance through HARP II. HARP II is designed to help you refinance into a new affordable, more stable mortgage. The HARP II loan is a new loan and will require a loan application and underwriting process. Loan refinance fees will apply.

Mortgage rates for the HARP II mortgage program are the same as for a “traditional” refinance. There is no “premium” for using the HARP II program. There are no loan-to-value restriction under the HARP II mortgage program so long as your new mortgage is a fixed rate loan with a term of 30 years or fewer.

Eligibility - You may be eligible to apply if you meet all of the following:

  • You have a mortgage owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
  • You do not have an FHA, VA, Jumbo or USDA loan.
  • Your home loan must be paid on-time for the prior 6 months, and at least 11 of the most recent 12 months.
  • Your current mortgage must have a securitization date prior to June 1, 2009.
  • You have not refinance previously through the HARP I program
  • You can refinance via HARP II even if your current mortgage has private mortgage insurance or LPMI.

  • You have the ability to make the new payments.

Program Availability
The HARP II program is offered by many servicers. Homeowners should check with their mortgage servicer (the company to which homeowners make their mortgage payments) to determine if they are participating in HARP II. If their mortgage servicer is not participating, the homeowner may contact other lenders that participate in HARP II to determine if they are eligible for a refinance.
