  • My parents would like for me to have their family home, how do they go about transfering the home into my name?

    This can be done multiple ways. First, if there is no lein on the property , you can simply transfer via quit claim deed the property to yourself from your family member.

  • Extended Rate Locks vs. Standard Rate Locks

    When dealing with a construction mortgage, most lending institutions offer rate locks up to 12 months. Although this may seem like the proper thing to do, it may not be.

  • Hardship Qualifications for Banks and Mortgage Lenders

    The bank will not consider this a " hardship ", however you will be required to qualify based on your most current income. This is true for W2 emplyees if you are now making less income.

You then multiply this balance by .0775. Then take that number and multiply it by 12 ( 12 months in a year ). This is your monthly interest only payment. **GOOGLEAD**
