What you need to know to streamline your FHA loan

If you have an FHA mortgage and you are considering streamlining, Here is what you need to know

1. You ALWAYS want to close at the end of the month! When you payoff an traditional loan, you will only pay interest for the amount of days that you actually have the loan. Example: Your loan funds on 11/2 , you would pay 2 days of interest to your old lender and 28 days interest to your new lender for a total of 30 days interest. On an FHA loan, you have to pay a full 30 days interest to your old lender. The result would be that you would pay 58 days of interest for 1 month! On a $300,000 loan that would be over $1100 in wasted money. ALWAYS CLOSE AT THE END OF THE MONTH!

2. Don't be fooled by "NO COST Streamlines"! While no cost FHA streamlines do in fact exist, make sure that is what you are getting. Just because you are not required to bring cash to the table, does not mean that your loan is NO COST.

3. Most lenders require a credit score. Prior to March of this year, lenders were not requiring credit scores for FHA streamline refinances. Today, 95% of lenders require a score of 620. I do still have lenders that will allow no credit score streamlines, but they will question the overall credit worthiness.

4. FHA streamline guidelines are changing on 11/18/2009. While most changes are minor; there are two big changes. 1. the maximum loan amount will now be your payoff MINUS your mortgage insurance refund. This will make streamlines with zero cash out of pocket very difficult to attain. I highly reccomend starting the streamline process prior to 11/18. 2. Borrowers will have had to have made at least 6 payments prior to streamlining. If you purchased a home in the past 6 months and have a rate 5.5% or higher, call me today!

5. Work with a lender that you can trust. I am an expert in FHA mortgages. I post my rates daily @ www.joshburley.net and I never have hidden fees.

How long does it take to close a mortgage refinance?

How long does the mortgage refinance process take?

It is important to have proper expectations as to how long it will take to settle on your refinance. There are many factors that can affect the time that is will take to close. Please read on for a basic time line for a traditional FHA , Fannie Mae and Jumbo refinances.

Step 1: Identify a broker/lender that you trust to handle your loan transaction. Do not be fooled by "low cost/hidden fee" internet chop shops. It is important that you do not lose sight of the fact that your mortgage is your LARGEST financial obligation. You would not go to an unlicensed doctor in Tijuana for heart surgery, do not go to a part time loan officer/full time waiter for your mortgage.

Time elapsed: As long or as short as you would like, or you could call me now

Step 2: Complete a loan application, either in person or online. If you have any doubts about the company that you have chosen, it may be a good idea to visit their office for the application

Time elapsed: Online is about 15 minutes, in person should be within 24 hours (this a real time market, today's rate could be gone tomorrow. I suggest acting quickly)

Step 3: Gather all requested documentation to submit to underwriting. This is where YOU control things. It is imperative that you are as responsive and proactive as possible.

Time elapsed: 48 hours

Step 4: Once your lender/broker has received all necessary documentation, they will submit your complete loan for underwriting. All lenders have different underwriting turn times, some are as little as 8 hours, some are up to 3 weeks. Ask you loan officer who your loan is being underwritten by and how long it will take. This will also be the time when the appraisal is ordered. Under the new regulations, the lender cannot order your appraisal until 4-7 days after you have received your truth in lending agreement.

Time elapsed: Most lenders average 7-10 days

Step 5: Your lender will issue a conditional underwriting approval. Most often, the conditions that they ask for will be easy to satisfy (i.e., updated paystub, updated bank statement, corrections to title work etc....) Gathering and submitting these conditions will take about 48 hours. Once submitted, it can take up to 72 hours for the conditions to be reviewed and approved.

Time elapsed: 6-8 days

Step 6: Schedule loan closing.

Time elapsed: Many lenders require that loans are scheduled no less than 72 hours after the cleared to close is issued

Total time elapsed to apply, submit and close your loan : 28-31 days

This is assuming that you do not have anything go wrong, that you do not have a 2nd mortgage that requires subordination and that your lender is working aggressively on your behalf.
