Should I REFINANCE a construction loan to a permanent loan OR convert to a permanent loan? May 3, 2010

Whitney asked:


It seems that interest rates are much lower for refinancing existing loans, as opposed to new loans. I have a construction loan which doesn’t expire for a few months, would it be better to refinance the construction loan to a permanent mortgage or do a construction to permanent conversion loan? Which will get me a lower interest rate?

I’m looking for a free website that is either operated by a reputable bank or by government institution that lists properties in foreclosure.

I don’t want a site that has links to other sites.

Any other suggestions are also welcome, thank you!

I was recently pre-qualified for a loan and the loan officer didn’t mention any other loan programs except for an FHA? I had to ask about the first time buyers program. I’m just wondering what are some other loan programs and where could I find out about them.

AC asked:


My husband and I are looking for our first home and have fallen in love with a house that is down to the studs in some areas in the middle of a remodel. The home has no structural issues – it is all cosmetic – but does need all new applicances (has none), new walls (70s style paneling in living room), new flooring (has concrete now) etc. Would we need to get a construction loan even though it is structurally okay? How would the mortgage process work for this?

Mr. Vincent Van Jessup asked:


My loan is fixed rate, my monthly payment is fairly low, and I put down a large downpayment. But it was my first home, and I find myself wondering if I had a “bad risk” loan or a normal home loan, after hearing constant talk about “the subprime lending debacle”. Any info you can offer will be appreciated.
