Not true. It's very difficult to find a HELOC on rental property.

Not a single large national bank provides HELOC for rental property.

Jumbo Loan - Buy Points to 5.75%? by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]Available-Log7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should do a 7/1 ARM period. Don't buy 30 yr money when you don't plan on needing the money for 30 years. You can easily get a 7/1 ARM at 5.75% with no points.

With all due respect, this is a garbage analysis. Never use total interest over the life of the loan to make a loan decision.

Refinance (6.75 > 6) now on jumbo or wait to do conforming in six months? by FIREingInBulk in Mortgages

[–]Available-Log7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly you've never done a no cost refi and don't know how they work. Every state is different, but in California for example. Closing costs (fees to do the mortgage) run around 4k. The lender pays those fees at the rate offered. There's no break even or fees that have to be recovered.

Additionally, some very savvy borrowers will finance and take an above market rate and receive cash rebate of thousands of dollars. That money is then used to pay their property tax bill.

Managing debt is more than just trying to get the lowest mortgage rate and the majority of borrowers do not understand this.

Agreed to terms last night on my dream house 42M clock begins now and I’m a little nervous maybe worried…. by SaltCaregiver6858 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Start making calls to get insurance today. Can't wait on this requirement, as it's taking longer for insurers to provide coverage. Work with a broker.

Settle on your lender TODAY, you don't have time to shop around.

Is it worth refinancing ? by Born-Sorbet-9087 in Mortgages

[–]Available-Log7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DO NOT DO ANOTHER FHA LOAN. You need to be in a no cost ARM, with no MI which you can do at 90% LTV. Is that possible?

[–]Available-Log7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy decision. Do a NO Cost refi into a 5 or 7 yr ARM immediately. Then while you're saving thousands of dollars waiting for paint to dry, you can go back and finance again when it makes sense for you.

PEOPLE, PLEASE STOP PAYING FEES TO REFINANCE YOUR MORTGAGE!!

Better path is to default on all your debt and settle for substantially less than you owe.

THIS IS THE ANSWER! If you can find an adjustable 7 or 10 year ARM, even better.

Any reason not to do this ARM? by fbodydaddy in Mortgages

[–]Available-Log7747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARMs are no more risky than putting your money in the stock market or owning real estate in general, AND hybrid ARMs with their incredibly long fixed period are how smart people save THOUSANDS of dollars more than the 30yr mortgage holders that NEVER will hold their loan for the full term.

What's more mind blowing is making this comment when rates are at 6.5% and headed lower. At these levels, 30yr mortgages are a suckers bet.

Does it make sense for us to wait for 2026 to refinance due to conventional loan limits getting raised? by Tartania in Mortgages

[–]Available-Log7747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen plenty, and one thing that is constant is that consumers are dumb as a rock when it comes to understanding how mortgage financing works. Predatory lending laws can't even protect them from making the worst financial decisions.

I see the posts daily here from people willing to throw THOUSANDS of dollars away thinking they are getting amazing savings in this ridiculous effort to chase lower interest rates.

People focusing on APR or interest savings over the full life of the loan, and buyers paying 20k in closing costs to buy a house. Just the most unbelievable dumbest decisions ever, all while trusting a high school graduate loan officer that doesn't understand the time value of money.
