Should I get a fixed rate mortgage if I plan to remodel right away?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
ounlopez asked:


Hi all,

I am planning to buy a house with 5-10% down, but I want to remodel the kitchen and bedroom within the next two years. I expect this will add to the value of the house, making my loan-to-value ratio closer to 80/20. Do you think I should get a mortgage with an ARM, if it has a better rate, and then refinance once the remodeling is complete? Any other suggestions for the mortgage?

Mortgage?

Saturday, August 21st, 2010
.: Jezz :. asked:


For his birthday, little Joe asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said, “Son, we’d give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $280,000 & your mother just lost her job. There’s no way we can afford it.”

The next day the father saw little Joe heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, “Son, where are you going?”

Little Joe told him; “I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling Mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too.

And I’ll be damned if I’m staying here by myself with a $280,000 mortgage & no bike.

How can I refinance my mortgage without putting money down for closing?

Sunday, August 15th, 2010
Mark B asked:


I already have a 30 year fixed (6.38%) but would like to take advantage of the lower rates now. My mortgage is through SunTrust and (unfortunately) I have never been late with payments and am not in any financial distress.

Is this possible without bringing any money to the table for closing?
