5 Resons to Refinance Your Home!
February 28th, 2011 Categories: North Carolina Mortgage News
What are some of the reasons you would refinance your home?
- A rising mortgage payment due to an ARM loan resetting
- Consolidating your first and second mortgage to reduce your overall payment
- Using home equity to fund an important purchase
- Consolidating credit card debt or other high interest debts
- Eliminating PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) payments
When was your last mortgage check-up?
We go to the doctor every year for check-ups…your mortgage should work the same way. You need to check your mortgage every few years to see if there are better options out there for you.

Credit Do’s and Don’ts
January 31st, 2011 Categories: North Carolina Mortgage News
When purchasing or refinancing a home, good credit is CRITICAL to get the best offer. Answer me this – What do you do to protect your credit when you are getting a mortgage? How do you make sure your scores don’t decrease?
Let me help you…
Make sure you:
1. Stay current on all accounts – one late payment can drastically hurt you!
2. Continue using your credit as normal
3. Call your mortgage consultant before doing ANYTHING with your credit!
Biggest Oopsies!
1. DO NOT apply for new credit (no co-signing either!)
2. Don’t pay off old collections or charge offs
3. Don’t close any credit card accounts
4. Don’t max out or over charge accounts – try to keep your balance under 30% of your limit!
5. Don’t consolidate your debt – this may raise your ratio on that card

VA Loans – Most common misconception!
January 24th, 2011 Categories: North Carolina Mortgage News
VA Loans – Most common misconception!
I can only use my VA loan one time.
Incorrect! Yes, your eligibility is reusable depending on the circumstances. Normally, if you have paid off your prior VA loan and disposed of the property, you can have your used eligibility restored for additional use. Also, on a one-time only basis, you may have your eligibility restored if your prior VA loan has been paid in full but you still own the property.
Difference between first time use and subsequent uses??
When using your VA eligibility for the first time, there is a 2.15% funding fee. Anytime the eligibility is used after that, you are charged a 3.30% funding fee. Is there a way around this? – Yes, if you receive at least 10% disability, you are exempt from this VA fee!
