without knowing any of the other details of your loan request, it is impossible to tell you if $4500 is high, low or just right. in general, closing costs are partially driven by the amount of the loan. if you are borrowing $100000, then i'd have to say the quote is high. if you're borrowing $300000, then it's probably low. _________________ George M.

Hi wewe,
You will have to wait for at least a year in order to refinance the property. While you refinance, you will have to pay the closing costs as well as other related costs once again. Moreover, you will also have to go for an appraisal of the property before refinancing.
Take Care. |

As far as I know, you will have to pay the whole month's interest. But in my opinion, you should consult your lender in this regard. He will be the best person to tell you what you need to do. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial sucess |

Hey carol,
In order to remove your husband's name from the title, you will have to ask him to sign a quitclaim deed in your name. You can contact him and ask him to sign the deed in your favor. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial sucess |

Hi eehale!
Welcome to forums!
As you are two months behind on your monthly payments, I would suggest you to contact your lender immediately and inform him about your hardship. If you want to save the property, you can negotiate with the lender for a loan modification. In this process, the lender will give you a new payment plan to pay off the dues.
If you do not want to save the property, then you can go for a short sale or a deed in lieu.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Post subject: Property tax reserves on refinance loan |
|
|
| I am refinancing. My loan broker told me that the lender is required by the state of Virgina to keep a reserve equal to my annual property tax payment and has added the value of the reserve to the cost of my loan. This was not a cost included in my good faith estimate. Is this legitimate? |

Hi Jeff
As far as I know, in Virginia, lenders can ask the borrowers to pay the property taxes for 3 months at time of settlement. This amount will be deposited in the escrow account. But I don't think you should be required to pay a reserve equal to your annual property tax payment.
Thanks. _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great. |

In my opinion, the rates may vary on a day to day basis. But as rates are going quite low these days, it would better if you could lock the rates as soon as possible. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial sucess |
