Best Answer

First, contact the owner of the mortgage. If you are interested in the property and want to assume the seller's mortgage, the person who has the mortgage must contact his/her mortgage loan servicer. That person will tell the mortgage loan servicer that a certain party is interested in assuming the loan.

The servicer will then allow the interested party to contact them. The servicer, for example Wells Fargo, Citi, etc will send an assumption package to the interested party. It will usually involve a credit check and application to insure that the person that wants to take over the mortgage can qualify to make the payments.

The mortgage loan servicer will then underwrite the application to the appropriate loan guidelines and ,if approved, then both parties would close the real estate contract. The buyer would assume the mortgage and the seller would be released of liability by the mortgage loan servicer.

If you refinance a home mortgage and the new lender rolls your existing auto loan into the new home loan do you receive the title of the car since the original auto loan no longer exists?

Your info was a little sketchy but I will assume the new loan was used to pay off your existing debt on the car which, providing there are no other liens on the vehicle, will allow you to receive the title. I am assuming you have a vehicle loan agreement that is marked PAID. Receiving the actual title can take some time depending on your state.

Can you use a home equity loan to pay off your existing mortgage?

Equity is the value of your home less the amount owed on the mortgage. A home equity loan is a loan secured by the equity in your home. Your lender will use an assessment to decide your home's value and the amount of equity available to abstract. If the available equity exceeds your mortgage balance, you can use an equity loan to pay off your mortgage. If your mortgage exceeds the available equity you cannot use the equity to pay off your existing mortgage.

Short Answer: Yes. You signed paperwork on the construction loan that would be very similar to the final loan. They will foreclose and sell the house at a sheriff's sale.
