Construction Loan to Mortgage?
I currently have a construction loan on the house that I live in but we can't qualify for a mortgage. Our bank keeps extending the loan even though the house is completed and we've lived in it for over a year. How long can the bank continue to do this? Are there federal regulations that the bank has to follow in this situation or is it at their discretion?
We did qualify when we started building and then all of the big changes happend with mortgages and we would have to qualify for a jumbo loan.

Can I ask for more money on a home construction/mortgage loan?
I recently built a house and asked for a $140,000 construction loan. I was approved for more than that and only took $140,000. I've gone over budget but the house is complete. I put in about $10,000 from my pocket. Is it possible to ask for more money from my lender? I was hoping to finish the house and with left over money pay off a personal loan I have which I took out to buy the acreage I built my house on. The interest rate on the personal loan is about 5.2-5.5 percent, don't recall the exact number. Would it be wise to ask the lender for more money to pay off the personal loan and pay myself back what I put in from my own pocket. It won't hurt me to pay my mortgage monthly, but will hurt to pay $10,000 out of my own pocket all at once and not get it back. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Being able to move into your new house is a great day. Knowing that you got the right construction loan to do it will help you sleep at night after you move in. With so many choices available today, it could be difficult to know where you should start looking and what features are the best. Here are a few tips for you to enable you to find a good deal on your construction loan.
The first thing you will need to do is to find out from a lender exactly how much you are able to obtain for your financing. After you know that figure, then you will understand how much you have to spend toward the whole project. You should also have a real good idea what additional costs there will be such as closing costs and other expenses needed to provide the house with all utilities, too.
After that, it comes time to select a home design. After choosing a general plan, you need then to talk to an architect and contractor. The architect will charge a rather hefty fee to adopt the general plan to your specific design, so

you should know what it is and how many revisions it will give you. After talking with them and getting your plans drawn up, this will give you a near accurate representation of what it will cost to build your dream house. After you have your figure, you will need to go back to the drawing board and redesign your house - especially if it costs more than your budget allows.
After your plans are finalized, then you can approach your lender for the construction loan. He (or she) will require these plans before you are given any money. Keep in mind that a preapproval (which is often free) is not the same thing as having the construction loan.
You should learn all you can about the construction loan options available to you. It is easier if you have a construction loan that is convertible to a permanent loan. This will enable you to save some money and will be easier to obtain because it will be from the same lender. Be sure you have this feature in your contract.
Construction loans will usually require a Downpayment of 10% in order to qualify. A Downpayment of 20% will be required in order for you to not have to pay private mortgage insurance. Another way to avoid PMI, is to piggyback your loans. This means getting a first mortgage for 75 to 80%, and then taking out a second mortgage for the balance of 20 to 25%.
When it comes time to change from your construction loan to a permanent loan be sure that you are aware of the trends in interest rates so that you will understand whether it would be better to get an adjustable rate mortgage or a fixed rate mortgage. It is also possible to have a small cash flow on some mortgages that will allow you to make some additions to your new home.

INCOME PROPERTY UNDERWRITING MANUAL Only $199
Right now Wall Street is buying more commercial mortgage-backed securities than at any time in history. As a result, there are loan agents out there today who are making over a half-million dollars a year brokering commercial loans to conduits. If you don't know how to broker commercial deals, you are missing out on one of the biggest financial gold rushes of your lifetime.
For only $199 you can now buy an easy-to-read guide that will teach you everything you need to know about underwriting and brokering commercial mortgage loans. This is not some boring text book about the capitalization of commercial property cash flow streams. Boring! This is a training manual designed to get a residential loan agent up to speed arranging commercial loans in just one afternoon. In fact, that's exactly how this manual got started, as a training manual for our own commercial mortgage loan officers.
Need to prepare a pro forma operating statement? I tell you exactly where to get every number on every line; even when you don't have enough information and you just have to wing it. Don't know the fire insurance premium? Try using $4.50 for every thousand dollars of insurance - but only insure 70% of the property's estimated value. Laundry income? Use $11.50 per unit per month. Do you see how detailed, helpful and down-to-earth this manual is? No fluff. No theory. Just step-by-step instructions that even a dummy like me could follow.
You will also learn debt service coverage ratios, operating expense ratios, on-site and off-site management factors, reserves for replacement, capitalization rates (cap rates), vacancy factors, collection loss reserves and loan constants. You will learn about forward takeout commitments, standby commitments and bow-ties. You will learn how to underwrite construction loans, including the difference between loan-to-value ratios and loan-to-cost ratios, developer's profit analysis, contingency reserves, interest reserves, and general contractor's overhead and profit factors. You'll learn the difference between gross leases and full service leases and industrial gross leases and net leases and net-net leases and triple-net leases. You'll learn the difference between scheduled rents and effective rents. And exactly how do you prepare a pro forma operating statement when the building is 27% vacant? Inside you'll learn.
I will also teach you how to look at a commercial deal and determine immediately to what type of lender you should take the loan. Got a successful business owner with a large average daily balance in his corporate checking account. Take the loan to a bank. Got a kinky property with great, verifiable income (i.e., great tax returns)? Go to a finance company. Got a standard piece of real estate with good leases and occupancy but the owner's net worth is light? Take it to a savings bank. I explain why in plain, everyday English. Sounds like a lot to learn, huh? Nonsense. You can read my manual from cover to cover in just 90 minutes. When you're done, you will know everything you need to successfully broker commercial loans. What a feeling - to finally master commercial mortgage underwriting. You'll run circles around your realtors. Your confidence will soar!
So will your income. Just one point on a $2.6 million loan is $26,000. And did you know that packaging a commercial mortgage loan is far easier than doing a Fannie/Freddie residential deal? Using our commercial lender databank and this training manual, you can now make huge commissions off of commercial leads you were previously throwing away.
