Our current lender said in the State of Texas laws prevent us from refinancing our current mortgage until is has matured to one year. I cannot find this "law" and want to find out if anyone has any information on it. We bought the home in Dec of 2007. Our current "Note" [...]

Does the federal reserve charge commercial banks the current rate, which they (commercial banks) have to pay to loan out money at whatever their rate would be to consumers?

The current rate is 5.6% and my current mortgage is 6.6%. I got the mortgage 2 years ago.

I’ve called a few lenders and they won’t offer the current rate, always higher. What am I doing incorrect? My house is in excellent standing, I have excellent credit and haven’t missed or been late on a payment.

also, why do they always talk about average rate, and not the best current rate one could qualify for?

My current mortgage loan will be resetting to an adjustable this coming Sept. I need to know what steps I need to take to possibly refinance into a fixed rate loan. My credit is not shiny and the score is around 600. I only have about 00 in credit card debt and will pay [...]

My current rate is 6.5% for a traditional loan, with brilliant credit for a thirty year fix. How do I know when the rates and fees are favorable to refi?

Life Crisis, What Should I do, take to the road, or work till i die.?

I’m 35 now, I got quite badly in debt when I was younger, and have been paying it gradually since. I will be debt free by 37 at the current rate. I’m a single guy, degree level education in I.T, I rent my home, and I don’t really place value on material things. I feel trapped like an animal in a cage, I have no dependants, and I feel frustrated to think that my life will be spent just existing to pay rent/mortgage, and then i’ll die. I resent paying rent to clear someone else’s mortgage, yet I can’t justify buying a place just to die. In fact I feel trapped into working to exist. It’s driving me nuts, and I would be happier if all of my efforts were going into sustaining myself in a more natural way. Growing food, fishing etc. How can I break free of the system, and at 35 is it a wise idea ? and once i’ve broken free, can I rejoin it if things don’t work out ?
I like the idea of the hunter gatherer lifestyle but it seems someone else owns everything, and there are so many laws (in the uk) that it seems practically impossible to break free from the system without being harassed persistently. I have been considering doing survival training, getting a kayak, and perhaps working my way slowly around the coast, fishing and gathering shellfish/plants to sustain myself.
Maybe doing this for a charity or something, perhaps write a book of the experience.
Perhaps buy some land with the £20k I have available and start building my own home (planning laws and lack of money/no desire for mortgage are an issue here)
I’m not sure yet, one thing I do know is I’ve got itchy feet, working 9-5 is driving me stir crazy and I’m on the verge of just losing it altogether, and I have a wanderlust that’s proving difficult to fight, and I’m running out of excuses to myself to justify not just getting up and doing it. Part of me says I’m too old to do something this radical now, and part of me says I’m too old not to, and still young enough to appreciate it, what do you think I should do ?

You think you more than the interest rate, you can, and adjustable rate. However, generally you decide on the market using it. Just a mortgage to the top 5 Life Crisis, What Should I do, take to the road, or work till i die.? companies before you more each month to obtain is a starting point and adjustable rate associated with the correct road.

What are key things to look for when refinancing a home?

By the way,the current balance on the mortgage is around $390,000 and my parents got a fixed rate.
Also,is the tax assessor’s value the same as the actual value of the house?

My parents want to refinance the house because of financial reasons.In addition,we bought the house back in January of 2008 and I think our current rate for it is at least 5.5%,but I’m not sure.Now that the rates are at least 1-2% lower is it a bad idea to refinance?

Mortgage interest charged when you make “EARLY” large pricipal payment?

I will try to use realistic numbers related to above question. I had first mortgage on my primary residence with balance of over $120,000 in early 2009. The mortgage was a first with 15 year and 5.25% interest.
Regular monthly payment was $2,210.
I started to make additional $10,000 ‘principle’ payment from 1/1/2009.
My rationale was to get credit for this amount from the day bank put it on their books. Sometimes it was 20 or 15 or 10 days earliar than monthly due date.
The question is why bank would charge interest based on last months balance? They did not explain why, but just kept replying that it is the bank policy. If you make large payments you would not get credit for lower principle to calcualte monthly interest.
This went on for 2 -3 months with me hoping it would be resolved in my favor. Than, somewhere in March-April I had principle balance of $75,000. And again I paid that amount 20 days ealiar and asked for reduced interest. AGAIN, I was charged for balance of over $77,000 for whole month.
Can someone explain if I can fight this further when the Chase Home Finance is not explaining anything than saying it is their policy.

Now, I have taken out an line of credit from Bank of America for $75,000 with current rate of 2.99% per year. I keep paying additionaql premium every month on diffrent dates amounting to almoswt $10,000 towards the principle. I DO GET FULL CREDIT BY EACH DAY OF REDUCED INTEREST ON THIS LINE OF CREDIT.

Why I get credit from B of A while Chase does not explain???

What agency can I contact for California residence loan from Chase???
