It is a misconception to assume that the when the fed cuts interest rates mortgage rates automatically drop. Usually mortgage rates move in the opposite direction. When the fed cuts the interest rates the loans that are affected by this cut are lines of credit, auto loans and credit card loans. This cut can also affect adjustable rate mortgages tied to the libor rate and actually move the rate lower. What affects mortgage rates are mortgage backed securities. When the fed makes the interest rates tied to some investments (money markets, cd's, savings accounts) drop. When these interest rates drop portfolios take a hit. Have you taken a look at your IRA's lately?? The reason the fed is lowering short term interest rates (the interest rate banks charge for loaning money to each other) is to help prevent a recession.

The feds have reduced interest rates and are expected to do so again.
What does this mean? It means anything financed will be at a lower rate.

in years. The not so great news is that the feds are lowering interest
rates to encourage spending and prevent a possible recession. One the economy is stabalized the rates will increase.
Now the first step to taking advantage of the lower interest rates is
choosing the right mortage professional and getting a financial check
up.

Nothing has had a more dramatic affect on mortgage lending in the last 20 years as the use of credit scoring in determining a borrowers ability to qualify for a mortgage. For better or for worse, the score is considered a reliable indicator of a credit risk. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how credit scores are calculated and how they can be improved?

A local divorce attorney explains, “Over the course of a marriage debts are incurred and credit is granted based on both parties ability and promise to pay.
The judge’s instructions designating responsibility for each debt does not relieve either party in the eyes of the credit grantor. Both parties must consider arrangements that will protect each from the others potential irresponsibility.

Vacations homes are homes that can be occupied year round by the owner. Most times the vacation home should be at least 50 miles away from your primary residence and be in a resort location (by the beach, lakefront). Vacation homes include single-family residences, half of a duplex, and condominiums.
To get a good mortgage on a vacation home you should be aware of what obstacles you may face when purchasing. When purchasing a vacation home in Texas the maximum financing allowed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is 90%. These homes usually require a 10% down payment. You may be able to find a portfolio lender who will allow for up to 95% financing.
