About 2 years. Ok, actually the last one took 91 days. It's actually up to how familiar the loan officer is with GA Dream. I wasn't at all familiar and neither was the company I was working for. It was a train wreck.
After the lender approves the loan, the loan package is sent to the GA Dream team. After they approve it (about 3 weeks), a bond is issued and sent to the lender for approval. After that the bond is issued at closing. Give yourself 60 days. Remember that the rate is half percent higher and the loan officer cannot help you with closing costs paid.... more

There are certain requirements of a home to be purchased using a FHA loan and a lot of the homes on this site will qualify. I would talk to a local real estate agent and have them work with you to find your new home. Many agents will work with a buyer and won't charge them anything for their services.... more
You will not only pay property taxes;
you will PRE-PAY property taxes, beginning from the day your Escrow Closes:
The Title Company will compute your taxes, based on the previous tax amount,
and they will withhold from 1 to 6 month's taxes, (depending upon the month in which the Escrow closes).
For further information, and a schedule; you should ask your Title Company.
Good luck and may God bless... more
Before you get any help, you need a few thousand dollars in savings, a decent credit score and a plan.
Once you have those three items, then you are ready to get help.
You CAN buy a property with the intent of occupying it as your SECOND home in the future. We are one of few lenders that allow that. However, you will be hit with the payment of current residence and the future (second) home. You can't use the rental income without a two-year history as a landlord.
I hope this helps!

You would not qualify for a mortgage if your husband's job (and if only income in household) is not commutable to Woodstock. If he works within 2 hours commute, we can use his income for a mortgage. If not within 2 hours then you cannot get a mortgage until he has a job in the area.... more
I agree that it will probably depend on the lender. Your loan originator should be able to answer that question for you.
I'm surprised your attorney, assuming you have one, didn't get a full set of condo docs to review before you signed a P&S. It's never a good idea to rely on third party representations as to what may or may not be contained in condo docs. Is there a pet policy? What is the % of ownership? What are your voting rights and what % majority is required for changes to docs, amendments or assessments? I think you need to take a step back and make sure you have the answers to these and other questions. The lack of condo docs and the fact that there are delinquent owners puts up a big red flag to me. I strongly advise further investigation on your part.... more
You are not going to find financing on an F-1 visa because you cannot work in the US on that Visa. Foreign National financing may be available but not for someone on a student Visa. If your current lender has a program for you, you should take that offer.... more
Good Morning Karam,
The current market is a sellers market....meaning very low inventory of homes for sale and a lot of buyers wanting to buy. This is great when you are selling and frustrating when you are buying.
To answer your question it really depends how well you deal with stress.
If you have 20%+ of a down payment for the next home then I would say start looking for that next home to purchase. This way you do not have an absolute deadline in which you have to find a home and get moved out because you have already sold your current home and those buyers want to move in. Then once you move to the next home put your current home on the market.
Now there are plus and minus's to the process and you have many options to work with...Which is a great position to be in. Very few people are in your position and congradulations!
I am here to help and if you would like to have a further conversation please feel free to call me at your convenience....cell 510.757.5901
Thanks Again,

It sounds as though you want to keep the equity line active? Or subordinate the equity line to the new first.
If that is the case, the equity line lender should be willing to take the appraisal that the broker is providing. Although I have never ecountered a subordinating second lender requesting their own appraisal, I am certain that somewhere in the Equity Line Agreement that was originally signed there may be verbage that addresses the need for appraisal on the subordination.
I am currently processing both a HARP refi and a straight rate and term refi. The HARP loan does not even have an appraisal to offer the subordinating second.
The subordinating lender should be pleased that the fist loan is reducing payments. . They may reduce the line, but still unclear on why new appraisal.
Wells Fargo has their own appraisal department. If they are the lender perhaps that is why you are running into this problem.
Very odd. But then again, our industry has had some oddities of late!... more
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but it's not mortgage fraud unless it closes. If it's now properly disclosed as an investment property then no crime has been committed.
What you have is a case of an unethical loan officer that will do anything to get your business. You probably had offers from others that properly quoted it as an investment property but you went with the lowest. This is textbook bait and switch and a prime example of why the unethical still exist in our industry. They hook you with the notion that you will be able to save a few bucks then change it up when they think it's too late for you to switch. Closing with this lender will reward this behavior.
I don't lend in IN so it's not a pitch for your business, but I would definitely investigate other opportunities with more scrupulous lenders in your area.
Just my opinion.... more
"Thanks Greg,
But I spoke with a mortgage broker who sits in my office and he can get a better rate from a lender with more down. Maybe this forum is not for bashing others opinions. I'm glad you have access to every lender."

Matthew, I am not bashing anyone, I am merely clarifying what are well published conforming guidelines. I don't need "every lender" to know and understand what is a well known Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac fact. If you have a lender that offers better rates @ 70% LTV than at 75% LTV it's NOT a conforming lender and thus will have higher rates anyway.
Thank you.... more
