A family friend has bought his house for around 130,000 around 10 years ago. The current home value is 44,000 and he has to pay around $900 in mortgage payments. Is there any way to lower, or even stop, the payments altogether? What is the best solution for this dilemma?

asked:


Our realtor advises that only buyers with cash in hand can buy foreclosed properties at auction. There is a technical challenge buying if you need a mortgage as you have to be in contract to be able to get the mortgage approved. Is this true or is there a valid way you can get a mortgage and bid on a foreclosed property at auction?

Rob I asked:


Could I get a rate like 8% with $5000.00 dollars down payment on a 30 year fixed on a $100000 dollar mortgage?

Monthly mortgage payment would be around $900.00 dollars a month and closing costs would be around 2000 dollars?

My mortgage broker offered me 45% of gross income.
I calculated that after paying mortgage and all bills I’d be left with 5K spare cash a month to spend.

I have no idea is this is reasonable and am interested to hear how much money folks feel comfortable having after all the bills are paid.

Thanks!

Me and my boyfriend moved in together and he got a mortgage for the house in his name and I just pay him some rent. If we were to get married in the future would I then be involved on his mortgage? Or does it not work like that.

asked:


Is this a standard requirement from mortgage lenders to insist on buildings insurance? I trust it is as in the event of a disaster they get refunded for their mortgage loan?
