This is the right question just answer without implying people asking do not understand. That is why there is a question.

what is best for 1st time home buyers? old cheap house bought cash or nice house with a mortgage?

Home Mortgage 14 Comments »
rebecca2008 asked:


I wouldn’t mind to live in an old and not so beautiful cheap house for a few years in order to save money. And then, buy a nice house.

What do you think is better? Buy a nice house with a mortgage or buy cash an old house, wait a few year, and save money?

I don’t have any children yet.

Can my wife legally insist our adult son stay at home? Wife and I have joint mortgage and I like him to leave?

Home Mortgage 5 Comments »
S B asked:


He is 27 and does not contribute in any way to the upkeep of the house, financially or otherwise. My wife is too soft to insist on elementary things like he clean up his plates and she is unlikely to agree to ask him to leave. I thought if I had the right to ask him to leave unilaterally, it might act as a pseudo threat to establish ground rues.

I get SSI. Is it possible to mortgage a home? I live in a small, Pennsylvania town?

MIssy A asked:


I found an older model home for 250 dollars a month. I’m young and don’t know anything about taxes, insurance, or utility costs on the home. I only earn 700 dollars a month, and budget out 200 dollars monthly on a car. Is it impossible to mortgage a home? What if I had a roomate with the same amount of income as me?

Getting prequalified for a mortgage on a new house before selling your old home?

Home Mortgage 4 Comments »
Nathan asked:


I have a property that I just put on the market and I’m ready to start looking for a new property where I’m moving to. I’d like to get prequalified, but am concerned that the debt and payment on my existing mortgage might affect how much I can prequalify for. Does anyone know how this works?

Home Mortgage not reaffirmed during ch 7 bankruptcy?

Home Mortgage 1 Comment »
Jeff C asked:


We filed ch7 bankruptcy 3yrs ago. It was discharged. Just recently I discovered our home mortgage was never reaffirmed. We’re making payments, our mortgage company is happy. But our payments are not being reported to any credit agency (our credit report doesn’t show we even have a mortgage.)

A quick call to our lawyer who handled this told us that no assumption papers were signed. I know when I filled out the “so you want to file bankruptcy” paperwork that I checked that we wanted to assume our mortgage. Our lawyer said the following:
A) it wasn’t a big deal but nothing could be done now
B) the mortgage companies often don’t allow mortgages to be reaffirmed (essentially saying it was their fault)
C) we should seek other methods of rebuilding our credit.

Does any one know:
A) is it really no bid deal?
B) should I fight to determine who’s fault this really was?
C) is there anything that can be done to get our mortgage back in good standing?

Thanks
