The Colorado home loan market saw very little change in rates today and it will be interesting to see what Colorado home loan rates will do tomorrow. I believe that these rates will be impacted by what investors know about the up and coming economic data due out at the end of the week. Colorado home loan rates will decrease if the news turns out to be negative and obviously rates will increase if the news is positive. I have addressed this issue in my previous blogs so tonight I would like to take a minute and talk about what is going on in the Political arena. It is important to see what our future leaders are talking about doing to improve what the media has labeled the Mortgage Crisis. Mortgage Crisis is an interesting term used in the media, obviously we have an issue in the market today but Crisis not sure if I would label it that. Did you know that although default and foreclosure numbers are up, that they still account for a very small portion of total loans currently in the market? For example most Colorado home owners currently holding a Colorado home loan continue to make their payments on time and will be making their payments on time as expected. Both Political parties have promised some drastic measure to help support the portfolios which were underwritten by lenders with lets say ‘Loose guidelines”, and because of this, lenders have put credit ratings on these portfolios at risk. Like any other election year it is amusing to see that each party has a strong idea of what needs to be done, but both parties seem to be deliberate in making their opponents solutions appear to be less then favorable. I want to believe that there is truth to both parties and that these parties should focus less on the disagreements and more on what they do agree on to find the right solution. Colorado home loan mortgages like any other mortgage in the U.S. requires some type of guarantee in order to attract investors back into the Mortgage Backed Securities market for the long term. It has been proposed by congress that the government should guarantee these loans and offer investors the difference on any shortage that results in foreclosure. Obviously this will have a positive impact for investors. The government already has a program in place that guarantee’s loans for banking institutions. FHA loans have been structured to do just that for decades and theFair Housing Administration continues to guarantee these loans to the banks that offer and service them. FHA programs historically offer premium rates to Colorado home loan transactions because of the guarantee. Though the concept proposed by Congress sounds good ultimately like anything else we pay for it. What this will do is add additional risk to an already risky Colorado home loan portfolio and future interest rates in this program will drastically increase. We are already seeing these increases as FHA loan limits have increased. These FHA increases were initiated in the Economic Stimulus package and initially were rejected by lenders. Lenders have now begun to accept the new loan limits but remain very cautious and have added about a .75% interest rate increases for these Colorado hom loan programs. Over the years FHA loans have proven to be a great vessel for people that stuggled to get premium rates in order to qualify for a home. These loans were specific to people that had good credit intentions and had their credit under control for an appropriate period of time. Home ownership instantly increased with the introduction of FHA and has allowed the right people to buy. If Congress is succesful in implementation a program that will guarantee high risk loans, FHA rates change for the worse over night. This will not have a good long term effect and ultimately will be a bigger problem then solution. I don’t have a simple solution for what would help the Colorado home loan market today, but simple economics taught me that the market will ultimately work out the problem itself and adding layers of government bureaucracy to anything forces the market out of alignment. I know that their intentions are good but in the long run this will prove to be a liability. The responsibility for guaranteeing these Colorado home loans should fall on the lenders that approved to do these Colorado home loans in the first place. If it causes lenders to close their doors then so be it. Free markets reward good business practices and penalize poor buisness choices. We still have plenty of lenders that do business the right way to make it through these difficult times. I would love to be in a business where every time I make a mistake I have the guarantee of the government to pull me through. Lenders are beginning to learn from the mistakes made in the past and underwriting requirements have tightened up. We will see these new mortgage portfolios perform well and investors confidence will come back hopefull sparking demand for mortgage backed securities. This will only mean good things for Colorado home loan programs as interest rates decrease. I think it is good that have obstacles to overcome it will allow the market to be stonger I just hope that we do not fall back into old habits. I hope that this was helpful and remember if you have Colorado home loan questions simply send me a comment and I will address each question. Check out my other blog site when you have time. I write different information on both and you may find that Colorado home loan information useful as well. Check out www.coloradohomemortgageloan.net/news Have a great evening and God bless.

Bad Colorado credit home loan programs have been around for a long time. I have two parts to this story the 1st half of this article can be found on www.coloradomortgagebanking.com/news in this section I want to talk about how Bad Colorado credit home loan programs are influenced by the value of homes and how Colorado is not as bad off as other states offering Bad Colorado credit home loan programs in their states. Bad Colorado credit home loan programs or subprime loans were established to offer credit risk individuals a solution to buy a home, but were designed to be refinanced in 2 or 3 years depending on the lock period. In todays market Bad Colorado credit home loan programs are a thing of the past and investors are suffering today from a large amount of default creating credit rating issues and some lenders to close thier doors all together. The biggest mistake lenders made with these loans are that they made it available to any mortgage broker willing to orginate home loans. The mistake is in the follow through and most of these brokers did not provide this crucial component to their clients creating an atmospher that had these home buyers fail and go into a desperate situation with their Bad Colorado credit home loan. The biggest issue in refinancing these programs has to do with value. These programs required that home values increased to a point where refinancing was easy normaly about 10% equity is required to refinance someone who is considered a high credit risk. Now we all know that if we had a 5% increase in the last 2 years total then we are lucky. Thank God we live in Colorado where we have still seen some increases in most of the country they have actually seen their house go down in value making Bad Colorado credit home loan programs offered in other states impossible to refinance. In Colorado and any other state seeing values increase even a little may find their solution offered in the way of a FHA loan. Congress has its biggest influence on mortgage programs through the Federal Housing Administration and the loans they insure. These FHA loans only require 5% equity, yes 5% equity if you are doing a cash out refinance if you are just financing the mortgage you got when you purchased your home they will only require 3% equity making it very simple to refinance you loan. Hopefully your mortgage broker did a good job in the follow through to help ensure your credit was on track to qualify. Qualifying out of your Bad Colorado Credit home loan into a FHA loan is simple. One year of clean credit history and no current collections or default falling within the same year. There are always exceptions I have been able to provide clients with FHA loans through an automated approval system that allows some high risk loans to qualify. I can’t express enough anyone can get into the mortgage business, but not any can provide the serves required to meet your expectations. If your broker disappears after the loan is done then odds are you found the wrong person. You can survay any of the 3000 plus clients in my data base and they will all tell you that my relationship begins when you close your loan with me. Bad Colorado credit home loan programs have a purpose and if property used can be a great resource to get you into a home, but it requires continued follow through. FHA loans are a great solution to Bad Colorado credit home loan programs and I offer all of these. Have a great day today and watch out summer is right around the corner.

Over the last year I have had a lot of people asking me about these programs that allow you to pay off your mortgage early. These programs use Colorado home equity loan options to accomplish just that. With a Colorado home equity loan you can establish a line of credit and begin using that like a checking account. U first appears to be one of the bigger companies offering these programs, and they encourage you to get a Colorado home equity loan. Once you have a Colorado home equity loan a software generated program will tell you exactly how much to apply to your Colorado home equity loan, and how to use this loan to begin lowering your principle balance on your existing loan. I have some reputable contacts that offer these programs and believe that the system will work, but I caution anyone thinking of doing this to get the information directly from the source. A Colorado home equity loan can help if you are displined enough to follow the programs exactly as it is intended to be used. If not your Colorado home equity loan will be another debt that you add on and more importantly will be a debt added to your home. Many people use there home like an ATM machine and cash out at any possible moment talk to someone you trust before adding a Colorado home equity loan to your obligations. I have spoked to many clients and have had the sense to tell them not to move forward with a transaction, because it was not in their best interest. Even though I may have profited from these transactions it best to do the right thing. I know I sleep better at night for doing so. Colorado home equity loan options are good and recommended by me to have open on a home, but only drawn on in cases of an emergancy. It is always better to pay the $100 yearly fee to have a Colorado home equity loan availble, mainly because it is easier to have money available when you don’t need it then when you do need it and once approved for a Colorado home equity loan, your loan will be available no questions ask as long as you keep it open. Try qualifying for a Colorado home equity loan when you loose your job and the need is great, banks tend to frawn on that. Getting back to paying your mortgage off early, did you know that when you make one extra payment a year on your mortgage you eliminate about 9 years off your 30 year ammortization schedule. You probably also know that having an existing mortgage is one of the few current tax breaks still recognized for middle class America. Paying off your mortgage is nice, but utilizing a mixture of investments and appropriate equity reduction tacts are a lot more profitable in the long run. I hope you found the information helpful, and if you are looking for a Colorado home equity loan I can provide that for you for less then $400 total in the mean time check out my other blog site www.coloradomortgagebanking.com or if you want to find out more about me go to my bio on www.nostresshomeloans.com. Have a great weekend and yes I blog every day.

We are starting to see Colorado home mortgage refinance loan request come in. Those that locked into a subprime loan 2 or 3 years ago are starting to see their Colorado home mortgage refinance loan programs increase there rates by 2% every six months. It is scary some of the Colorado home mortgage refinance loan options given to consumers in the last 4 years, but they are out there. We do have some relief in store and we can get you into a colorado home mortgage refinance that you can live with. FHA recently increased their limits to allow El Paso county to lend up to 325K which is 85K higher then what was previously allowed for Colorado home mortgage refinance loan options using FHA funds. Because we are able to lend up to 95% homes that have not increased drastically or even moderatly can still qualify for a low rate Colorado home mortgage refinance loan. Go to www.Coloradomortgagebanking.com to see why rates have remained so low and what the forecast will be in the weeks to come. The FHA loan limit releif is temporary and unless congress makes it permanent we may have a small window to ensure you get the Colorado home mortgage refinance loan you desirve. Stay tuned for some economic indicator reports being released next week to see if rates will continue to stay at a respectable level. Yes I did say respectable which means that your Colorado home mortgage refinance loan rates are already good and waiting may have a small reward, but locking will eliminate the guessing game. Take the time to listen to your broker and interview them well if they do not understand the market you will quickly see through them. Ask the questions you think should be answered about the market and if you get a High School response then odds are you have the wrong person working for you. Your Colorado home mortgage refinance loan provider should know the facts and should be able to take the guessing game out of locking. If I would have quoted today’s rates 4 weeks ago everyone would have locked immediately if this stands to be true then why wait before locking your current Colorado home mortgage refinance loan rates. My recommendation continues to stay at a LOCK recommendation as it has all week. We had a couple spikes but all and all Colorado home mortgage refinance loan rates have remained strong. This easter remember our savior and the sacrafices he made for our sins, I am so blessed to have the ability to be forgiven and am thankful for our lord and Savior. God Bless

Sorry about the late Colorado Mortgage post, but today will go down in the books as one of the biggest rate changes that I have seen for Colorado Mortgage options in awhile. If you took the Lock recommendation late yesterday and early today then you will be happy with your Colorado Mortgage rate. The Federal Reserves lowered short term interest rates which will have a positive impact on Colorado Home Equity Loans. If you are looking for longer term Colorado Mortgage rates then you will be looking for awhile those rates increased today by about .5% through the day. The Federal Reserves continues to throw the Mortgage Backed Securities market into a frenzy and a state of confusion. Colorado Mortgage rates went up Colorado Home Equity Loans went down. Seeing that Colorado Home Equity Loans are a thing of the past all we care about is the Colorado Mortgage loan rates. Ok. I know it sounds repetitive but I think I can get my web master off my back and just stick to the basics now. Inflation was a concern it should not have since we all projected a 1% decrease in the federal funds rate, but it came to the surface again and investors were reminded that inflation hurts colorado mortgage bonds and those that are holding those bonds. It sparks a sell off and when mortgage backed securites drop in price interest rates go up. I believe that investors were in a state of shock and over reacted. I believe a little ground will be made up in Colorado mortgage rates tomorrow, but they will not return to what we had this morning and if you locked which most of my clients did you should be very happy that we got the rates we did. Most of you got between .25% -.5% lower then what was quoted not a bad rate for your Colorado Mortgage. Those who have Colorado Home Equity loans should think about calling their current lenders to lock those rates in place. Just a thought:-)

I have two Colorado Home Mortgage Loan sites that will be updated daily to give you the most up to date market information. This Market information I hope will be beneficial to you when selecting your Colorado Home Mortgage Loan rates. We have seen some nice movement in Mortgage Backed Securities. The price of these bonds have moved up over the last 5 business days and we are looking to see these bonds move even higher tomorrow. I would start looking hard at locking your Colorao Home mortgage Loan rate in the next day or so. The big news in the market will be what the Federal Reserves do with short term interest rates. We are expected to see a 1% decrease and investors have been trading with these expectations in mind. So what will Colorado Home Mortgage Loan rates do in the next day or so well here are some projections. Colorado Home Mortgage Loan rates will start to taper off first thing tomorrow morning. We saw Colorado Home Mortgage Loan rates move way to fast today and investors will begin to sell off to recognize short term profits in the market. With that said I believe rates will maintain where they are at and if we have any bad economic news hit the market rates will move down yet again. It is a good time to float your Colorado Home Mortgage Loan rates, but be prepared to pull the trigger. Rates are almost at an all time low don’t be gready if the rates are at a point you can live with then LOCK. Heck 4 weeks ago you would have all jumped at the Colorado Home Mortgage Loan rates we are offering you today. I will call upon most of you to lock in the next day or so, please be ready and lets enjoy where we are at, Most of you have been quoted a higher Colorado Home Mortgage Loan rate then what we will lock you into:-) Call if you have questions.
