    Does living at home with your parents effect your ability to get a mortgage?

    May 01, 2011 by Derek | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

    I have a friend who has always lived at home with his parents, and has a result has no debt, and a perfect credit score. On the other hand I have a friend who has lived out for five years, paid over £1200 a month in rent plus bills by himself, and has

    They look more at income and expenses and credit score as opposed to whether or not they paid rent previously. He must have had some debt and paid it (car and or credit cards probably) or he wouldn't have a good credit score. You have to have had debt

    How does getting a joint mortgage work?

    Apr 08, 2010 by Samsara S | Posted in Marriage & Divorce

    Both my partner and i own our own homes, we live in his and rent mine out. How do we go about getting a joint mortgage to buy a bigger family home? Do we sell our houses first? What happens if one house takes a while longer to sell?

    We

    the answer to that is very easy - if u both re loaded with cash and have big income u can buy a new house any time u want and sell old houses any time u want. if u re not loaded with money and to buy a new house u need to sell houses first - u do that.

    Real estate Q&A: If you can afford your mortgage, don't expect a break

    21.05.12

    Q: We make a decent living and can afford our mortgage payments. Our house is slightly underwater and times are lean, but we are getting by. We are not late on our payments and like our home. We have tried several times to get a loan modification, but our lender keeps telling us that we make enough money to afford our payments. Is there anything we can do? </p><p> -David</p><p> A: Not really. I have been getting this question a lot lately, and the sad truth is that most lenders will not work to lower the payments on a loan if the borrower makes enough money to afford the payment. Typically, lenders will look to see if you earn enough so that 31 percent of your gross income can cover the mortgage payment, plus taxes and insurance. Barring special circumstances, such as a medical issue that requires expensive care, if you make enough money to afford your payment, your lender is not going to lower it. </p><p> Often people will tell me that their other debts, such as credit cards, student loans and car payments, is crushing them. But your mortgage lender would prefer that you keep paying the mortgage and default on the others. But as I have reported before, you never know what might happen, so it never hurts to try. But be realistic and don't waste money on some fly-by-night company selling you a miracle.</p><p> </p><p> Q: Do I need to look at a property tax report for a foreclosed home I'm trying to buy at an auction? </p><p> -Steve</p><p> A: Absolutely. When you purchase a property at an auction, you are taking the home as is, with no warranties or guarantees. You will be responsible for all taxes on the property, homeowner's association back dues, city liens and more. Further, if the foreclosing lender did not properly foreclose out all junior lien-holders, you will be getting those problems too. Purchasing properties at auction is a tricky business. I don't recommend getting involved unless you know what you're doing and are willing to spend hundreds of dollars getting reports on each property that you want to buy.</p><p> ABOUT THE WRITER:</p><p> Gary M.
