The FHA SHort Refinance in NV Program

By James Richy


In previous years, people who could not pay their mortgage loans had no other recourse but to see their precious homes taken away by banks. After years of hard work, they befell some serious financial setbacks and before they know it, the banks are knocking at their doors getting their keys and their possessions. That's a really bad experience. Many people are looking for options to avoid foreclosure. A refinance in NV can be one of those options.

Advantages to Borrower- Repair/renovation costs are rolled into the loan- Both major and minor items are allowed- Only 3.5% down on any FHA loan with up to 6% closing cost credit from seller allowed- Loan amount can go up to 110% of the "after-improved value" on the appraisal- Optional renovations/upgrades are allowed- Customer can use a 203k consultant to help deal with contractors- Interest on the entire loan may be tax deductible.- Allows buyer to purchase homes that may not qualify under standard FHA guidelines.

Advantages to the Seller- Allows the home to sell to more buyers if it wouldn't qualify for a standard FHA loan- Repairs being rolled into the loan and not requiring seller to make repairs out of pocket prior to close.- Not having to go off and on the market due to not passing an FHA appraisal.

One day, lenders will have to step up to the reality that the best way to revive the real estate market is to re-value properties at their current market worth. Otherwise, it will continue to be a long road of short sales, foreclosures, bankruptcies and strategic defaults...all of which accomplish the same thing, but in a much more painful, expensive and longer fashion. Perhaps the implementation of judicial cram-downs is ultimately the only way to instill sense in this whole mess.

The following requirements must now be met when a borrower is converting their primary residence into an investment property. They must be able to qualify with both mortgage payments unless they meet one of the following. The borrower is relocating with a new or existing employer. The borrower has a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 75% or less. Must be able to document an executed lease agreement of 1 year or more and must provide evidence of a security deposit and/or first month's rent. A refinance in NV may be just what you need.
