Carol B asked:


We have two mortgages on our house. the holder of the first one bought out the second mortgage company. Why won’t they refinance the mortgages into one. We cannot make both mortgages anymore due to a change in employment, loss of wages. HSBC and HFC are the companys. So we’re paying just the first one. Can we be foreclosed on?
The balance of the two morgages is lower than the value of the home. Make sense?

What way is the best to get rid of a house with two mortgages but very little cash on hand?

e e in california asked:


I want to know how banks set the interest rates for mortgages. All I know is that they move up and down with the fed funds rate and discount rate (Correct me if I am wrong). Does anyone know all factors that play into the rates that lenders come with? Is there a way to calculate or give more or less weight to any one of them? Thank you.

arndtmb asked:


have been quoted 7.25% on a 30-mortgage on a fixed rate basis. Also was quoted 6.375% on a 30-year interest only payment schedule. Although this reduces the monthly payment, how does this pay off a mortgage? Does this require additional payments to reduce the principal?

If a mortgage company says they don’t do mortgages for under 100K, does that mean we have to buy a 100K home?

Cesaria Barbarossa asked:


It appears that many of the mortage companies don’t do mortgages for less than 100K (unless they’re smaller lenders and many of the homes i’ve looked at require proof of funds from known lenders).

Does this mean that we have to get a home that costs at least 100K. The homes I have seen and were interested in were around 85-90K.

Christopher asked:


The recession was caused by people being unable to pay back their home mortgages because the mortgage rates were too high?

Banks were not getting their money back from home owners, causing a credit crunch, thus they were unable to lend money to big businesses.

Big businesses then had to cut back on expenses and began to lay people off the the thousands.

So what caused the mortgage rates to go up so high that started this financial mess in the first place?
