Optimists keep claiming that things in the real estate world are looking up, but reality keeps reminding us that things are not all sunshine and roses just yet. Even with the current government incentive program for encouraging home buyers into taking the plunge and buying that dream home, the American people are just not itching to buy real estate right now. According to a recent survey by the Mortgage Bankers Association, the numbers of home...more
A few years ago I was at that point in my life when I realised I wasn't happy, and thinking at the time it was purely because I was poor and living day to day, I set off on a bewildering but exciting journey to build long term wealth. I didn't realise at the time that my external world ie my unhappiness, financial situation and so on was a reflection of my internal map of reality. This included all my thoughts and processes especially the...more
There is no doubt about it that the mortgage market is hopping right now. Between first time buyers hoping to take advantage of the low interest rates and high availability of desirable homes to existing borrowers looking to refinance, lending institutions are writing record numbers of loans every day. Many of these loans will be originated from a mortgage broker. A mortgage broker is an individual that helps a prospective borrower find the best match in a lender for their needs. Unlike a bank loan officer, who can only influence applications to their bank, a mortgage broker is able to "play the field" and shop around at many different lending institutions for the best rates and terms for each borrower.Although some leads will come in to a mortgage broker on their own, for the most part, in order to stay busy and competitive, a mortgage broker will need to purchase leads from a loan lead generation service. Mortgage leads come in many basic styles. There are those that are just refinances, those that are vintage, those that are first time home buyers and those that are for older "vintage" loans. Regardless of the style of borrower, the mortgage leads themselves are one of two...more

Author: MPetroneRight now, mortgage interest rates are near all time lows. Many homeowners are refinancing and getting loan modifications to take advantage. However, I predict that interest rates will increase in 2010, and some people will no longer benefit from refinancing or mortgage modification. Here are my interest rate predictions for 2010, and how I made them. Currently and for most of 2009 mortgage rates have been near all time lows. This is primarily due to President Obamas housing stimulus plan, a struggling housing market, and a bad economy. Many homeowners have and still are taking advantage and refinancing a mortgage or getting home loan modifications. However, while interest rates are around 5% for a typical 30 year fixed rate mortgage, I think things will change in 2010. I think that mortgage interest rates, while still remaining low, will slowly increase throughout 2010 starting sometime in April. I predict that the final outcome will be that homeowners will see interest rates be around 6.5% or so for the same home loan with a fixed rate. While this seems minor, it will negate any potential mortgage refinancing benefits for some homeowners. This mortgage rate...more
