Mortgage advice please ?
March 15th, 2010You have an adjustable rate mortgage and the fixed portion of the loan is ending. That time is usually 1 to 7 years, and it sounds like yours was 2 years. So now you can refinance, IF you can refinance, and get yourself a nice real fixed rate loan. You want one with 30 years worth of equal payments.
First check your credit scores from all 3 bureaus. Just type Experian.com, Equifax.com and TRW.com. The report is free, but they'll charge you something for the scores. Pay the something to see the scores, but don't waste your money on any other services. If your scores are in the 700s or higher, you should be cool as long as the value of your house hasn't declined. A lot of places have, but not everywhere. If it's between 650 and 700, you're probably still ok, but not as primo a borrower.
Call your lender, your regular bank, a credit union, a brick and mortar bank and an online back. See what they have to offer.
