Can you refinance a house with negative equity?

At times yes. The new HARP program currently allows refinances on properties up to 125% of their value. After March of 2012 once FNMA and Freddie Mac have updated their automated underwriting engines, lenders may go above and beyond 125%. Each lender may put their own additional rules on top of these rules too. Depending on the lender, your loan must be owned by FNMA or Freddie Mac to be eligible for HARP. Call your lender and ask who owns your loan or use the FNMA look up tool on-line. If your loan is owned by Freddie Mac, it also has it's own look up tool, it's harder finding a HARP lender. As always there are criteria to be eligible for HARP and if you have a second mortgage or HELOC, they have to be receptive to the HARP program too. Best of luck to you.

How can you take possession of a home that is in a deceased persons name that you have been making payments on for ten years?

You may have vested interest in the home, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is yours now. Get a real estate lawyer and see what you need to do. Gather the proof that you have been making the payments--cancelled checks to the mortgage company are best.

Another Perspective

No. You cannot take possession of the property. You would need to bring an action to a court of equity and obtain a court order that transfers all right, title and interest in the property to you. If you lived in the home the court is more likely to view your payments as a form of rent. Courts rarely transfer title when a volunteer pays the mortgage while they were living with the owner. The property will pass to the heirs at law or under the will of the decedent.

Why television is called one way communication?

Because by itself, you can only receive information, there's no facility to reply. Everything is broadcast to everybody, there's no way for the broadcaster to know who has received it, and no way for the receiver to interact with the broadcast.

Example from the receiver's point of view:

========================================================

Satellite companies like Sky would love to have a two-way conversation with a digibox to update a change in subscription. But all they can do is regularly broadcast the personal code for your Sky card to every satellite user, which your digibox will receive and update your subscription and decode the signals broadcast to everybody.

Because they don't know if your digibox was switched on, they will keep broadcasting the same codes over and over again for weeks or months. But if you stop your subscription and then leave your digibox turned off for 3 months, the subscription change will probably not be broadcast any more and you'll still have your subscription.

Increasingly, your television set will be able to use both one-way communication signals and two way communication, so you need to understand like this:

  • Anything coming through a TV aerial is one-waycommunication.
  • Satellite can be two-way... it's technologicially possible. But it's expensive, and isn't used like that for TV transmission at the moment.
  • Anything broadcast via an internet system or using your telephone line is two-way communication.

Will buying a new house trigger repayment of the 8000 tax credit even if you keep the original house as your primary residence for 3 years?

As long as you keep the original house as your primary residence and remain in it "for the greater number of nights in a year" you will not have to repay.

Caution: If your new purchase is in a different local and a W2 shows your employment being in that new local, odds are you will have to repay so don't try to hold onto the original house and just tell uncle sam it's your main residence.

What can someone do if unable to get an FHA loan because of an Ex on an FHA mortgage together won't refinance or sell?

You need to check the terms of your divorce decree. All your property should have been addressed at that time. It sounds as though you and your ex-spouse still own property together. You need their signature to sell or refinance. Perhaps you should try to buy their interest and then refinance on your own.

How much would be a down payment for second time buyers?

Being a second time buyer has nothing to do with the amount required. The down payment as a % of the purchase price depends on the loan program the buyer has selected. A VA or USDA loan may not require any down payment. Conventional loans may require 5, 10 or 20% down. FHA requires about 3.75% down. It is not a "one size fits all" proposition.

Does your spouse have to pay half of the mortgage if he moved out?

If your husband simply moved out there is no way you can make him pay the mortgage without seeking a court order. Since you both signed the mortgage the lender will hold each of you responsible for paying the mortgage. It will not hold you responsible for only half. The simple fact is that if the mortgage isn't paid on time the lender will take possession of the property by foreclosure.
