There have been many changes in lending the past couple of years and this post will deal with the maximum number of properties financed. Here is a quick guide to our rules on this:
Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) have a limitation of 4 maximum properties that are financed. We interpret the rule as follows: If the subject property ( the home you are financing) is a second home or investment home, you can only have a maximum of 4 financed properties. If the home you are financing is your Primary Residence, we do not limit the number of properties that you have financing on.
Summed up: If you are purchasing or refinancing your primary residence, We do not limit the total number of properties that you have current financing on.
For VA & FHA loans, VanDyk Mortgage does not have limitations on the total number of properties you have financed. Keep in mind that you are limited on how many FHA Loans you can have outstanding at one time, and also how many VA loans you can have outstanding at one time. If you have had a FHA or VA loan that have been paid off or refinanced into another type of loan, you can reinstate your eligibility for FHA or VA financing again. Call us for details.
Coming soon: Fannie Mae is changing it's guidelines to allow those purchasing or refinancing Investment properties & second homes to allow up to TEN financed properties. stay tuned!

FHA refinances - OK to leave second mortgage in place
FHA refinance - what do I do with my second mortgage?
Answer: FHA refinances - OK to leave second mortgage in place.
With many American families losing equity in their homes, and the loose lending practices of the past few years by the big banks, FHA home loans have become the standard again for both Homebuyers and Home owners wishing to refinance.
One of the myth's about FHA financing is that it is for First Time Home Buyers to purchase homes only. The mission of the FHA (Federal Housing Administration), which is supervised by HUD is to help American Families achieve & maintain homeownership. Achieve = FHA Purchase, Maintain = FHA Refinance.
Many families purchased homes during the past few years using a 80/20 combination loan, utilizing a first mortgage / second mortgage combo to reduce the downpayment requirement. With home values dropping in many areas, families may be upside down, and may have been told by their bank that they cannot refinance their first mortgage since their isn't enough equity in the home to also pay off the second mortgage. Enter FHA. With FHA loans, we can refinance your first mortgage into a safe, secure FHA fixed rate mortgage and leave your second mortgage in place.
One caveat: your second mortgage lender must agree to "resubordinate" their second lien behind the new FHA Loan. Many second lien lenders are willing to do this (resubordinate behind a new FHA Loan), as they want to protect their investment. Their unwillingness may lead to more families making the difficult decision to sell via Short Sale or let their home go into foreclosure. In these cases, the second lien holder often receives little or no money, as the home has dropped in value.
The FHA refinance offers stability, security, and safety for homeowners.
Here is an example of how this works:
Joe & Suzy Homeowner bought their home for $400K in 2004 with a 80/20 loan. First Mortgage is a 5yr adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) for $320K, and the second is a fixed rate second at $80K. Their first mortgage is approaching the first Rate Adjustment Change in 2009, and they don't feel they can afford the new payment. ** CALL US NOW, before you get into trouble! Their home is now worth $340K, so their big bank tells them they do not have a refinance option due to lack of equity in their home. Enter the FHA experts at VanDyk Mortgage. We refinance your First Mortgage into a safe, secure, Fixed rate FHA Loan, and negotiate with the second lien holder to resubordinate behind the new FHA Loan.
Summed up: We can refinance your first mortgage into a new FHA Loan and leave the existing second mortgage in place. The Combined Loan to Value (CLTV) of your FHA loan and existing second mortgage can exceed 100% of your homes value.
