Question: Hi, I want to refinance my home when the ARM expires in March 2008. Our loan is 299,000 and the market value is around 275,000. Will I still be able to do refinance? If not, what are my choices.
Answer: Since your mortgage balance is more than the value of your home, you may have trouble obtaining a refinance loan, as most lenders are not willing to extend loansthat exceed 100% of the value of the property.
However, if you are facing a significant increase in your interest rates, you should certainly contact lenders to find out what refinance options are available to you based on your current financial situation.
The only way to determine whether or not you will qualify for a refinance loan is to apply for a loan with several different lenders and/or brokers.
