Have you seen the rates lately? I still consider anything under 8-10% to be a bargain. We might not see the 3-4% days for a while, but look back many years and you’ll see 8%, 10%, 12%, and even higher! Here’s some recent information that I found….

Does having bad credit mean that you can’t get a loan? Of course not! Does it mean that you might have to put a little more effort into obtaining a loan? Maybe. Either way - you need to start somewhere and this may help your decision…

Pittsburgh Mortgage Help

Are you living in Pittsburgh (the best city around - I’m biased ) or thinking of moving there?

If so, you might be thinking of buying a new house or refinancing your existing house.
I just heard of a new program that some lenders are providing people with - the ability to defer 3 months of mortgage payments.
They just get added to the end of your existing mortgage, but you would have three months of no mortgage payments - cool huh?

Should You Buy or Rent in Pittsburgh?

rob — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:33:17 +0000

There will always be debates on this and I doubt anyone can guarantee their answer is correct, but here’s my take:

Renting makes sense if you know you’ll only be in a certain area for 12 months or less *or* if you can’t qualify for a mortgage for the house you want (renting and paying on time will help get you a mortgage).
Buying makes sense when you’ll be in an area for a while and want to capture the property value increase and tax benefits.
In today’s economy you’ll find bargains everywhere - especially foreclosures - and you can own for less than you’d expect.

It’s spring and the time to refinance is here!

rob — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:40:02 +0000

Although the rates have gone up from last year, it’s still a great time to get refinanced to pay bills or other items.
You’ll definitely need to shop around more, but there are bargains out there due to the slower business the finance companies have.

When you shop for a mortgage, the difference between being well informed and barely understanding your choices can be costly. For example, settling for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage when you should have gotten a lower rate with an ARM can cost you several hundred dollars a month, on average, or several thousand over the life of your loan.
