What happens when your mortgage is considered sub-prime?

My girlfriend got a loan last year, that was 2 year interest only, for 98,000. She has a little under a year left until she can refinance. What should she expect when the 2 years are up if her credit stays the same, or improves slightly?

The mortgage itself should account for jump most people who do not she may be in trouble.
For jump most people who do not mess around can get normal loan after years is plenty of time.

There is no reason to wait the full two years. Start watching the interest rates now. The Federal Reserve may drop the interest rates another 0.75% within the next month. In theory, this will reduce the mortgage loan rates. It doesn’t always work that way, but the odds are in your favor.
Your girlfriend should attempt to get a new loan when the rates are at their lowest (or, what she thinks will be the lowest - as it’s hard to guess when the actual bottom will hit).
Regarding credit score: You didn’t say what it was. The purpose of the interest only loan was to keep payments down. People with good credit got them too. She can expect that upon refinancing, that the loan payments will be higher. It’ll be more expensive to pay Principal and Interest, then just Interest. However, has she pays down the Principal, she’s buying Equity. If the market continues to decline, she’ll be reducing her reduction in equity. If the market goes up, she be accelerating the amount of equity she gains in the home. Equity will be important once she sells (or, if she takes out a Home Equity Line of credit). Never the less, credit is evaluated to close the loan…. and, she’ll need to start finding a good match ASAP. No sense in waiting until she’s about to get socked in the stomach with the terms due at the end of her current loan.
