Washington mortgage refinancing options of any sort have run thin, and subprime mortgage lenders going out of business have not helped. Bad credit loans are pretty much nonexistent, leaving those bad credit scores wondering how long they will be able to keep their homes. Washington homeowners are trying to find refinancing solutions for their adjustable rate mortgage payments.
Mortgage industry problems include loss of home equity, loss of local lending programs and tighter mortgage guidelines, leaving very few 100% refinancing options. Property values have been dropping across the country, and decreasing property values may limit your ability in the future. But, fixed rate refinance loans are critical while you have value. So, where do you turn for bad credit loans and other home refinancing options, especially since there's no secondary market?

According to a Google News Article at WTOL 11 entitled "Voinovich introduced bill to ease foreclosure crisis", U.S. Senator George V. Voinovich (R-OH) introduced Wednesday the Expanding American Home ownership Act of 2007, which will enable The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to help those facing foreclosure to refinance for lower rates while helping millions of more low- and moderate-income families to buy a first home.
The plan already enacted to help those facing foreclosure is President Bush's FHA Secure, a program which helps families with strong credit histories who had been making timely mortgage payments before their loans reset-but are now in default-to qualify for 30 year fixed rate refinancing. The problem with this plan is that it doesn't help those with bad credit scores, the majority of the people who have these adjustable mortgages that are getting ready to reset.
However, for those with blemished credit, the FHA does have other programs for which they may qualify. And, if you're active duty military or a military veteran, you may want to check with the Veterans Administration (VA). The VA, like FHA has less much stringent qualification criteria than do conventional lenders.
According to mortgage-x.com, Washington mortgage rates are still pretty reasonable, ranging from 4.875% for a Conforming 6 month ARM to 6.125% for a Jumbo 20 year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM). With FHA's and VA's competitive rates and excellent loan terms, now is the time to refinance your adjustable rate mortgage before your loan resets. Talk with a qualified lender today to see what your options are.
