Andrew Hahn here President of Capital Advantage LLC.a Colorado Mortgage Lending Company since 1991. I want to urge all those who obtained a conventional mortgage  18 months ago or older that you may qualify for for the Government HARP Program which stands for HOME AFFORDABLE REFINANCE PROGRAM. this is really one of the best programs out there that helps home owners. As I am a licensed Mortgage Broker in the state of Colorado I provide my services to home owners located in Colorado and the Denver Metro Area. The information I provide regarding HARP includes all, as this is a national program.  First of all this program is aimed at those people that have conventional loans through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Your loan can be an ARM or an interest only loan and you can still refinance to a fixed rate loan; it’s a great deal, now is the time to roll out of that loan with the uncertainty of there futures into a loan that can get you through the next 30 years if need be. Now if your not sure if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac owns your loan you can go to their website and input your address and it well tell you if they own your loan; this works most of the time but there are some instances where it doesn’t work.  The best and easiest way to find out who owns your loan is to call the loan servicer who has to tell you.  Once you have found this out you now know if this program well work for you.  If you want you can contact me Andrew Hahnand I’ll be glad to help.  The best part of this loan is it allows you to take advantage of today’s low rates even if your property is worth less than what you owe ( as though as that sounds, I think we all want to keep our homes). Most lenders now when refinancing the first mortgage well go up to 105% some well go up to 125% under certain circumstances. Get ahold of me and I’ll help you determine which Loan to Value you qualify for.  Now we are only talking about the first mortgage, remember up to 105%, now if you also have a second mortgage you still qualify for the refinance but if you have a second mortgage they well need to step behind the new mortgage this is called a subordination. At first second mortgage companies were not helping out here but after some time most have come to their senses and are allowing the new first (since it is lowering your total payments what took so long for them to figure this out). Usually the second mortgage is going to want a copy of your loan application, an appraisal and a few other documents so they can make a decision if they well subordinate or not and as the way it goes the generally want some money upfront to process the request. USAA is free and subordinates most of the time. I have seen the fee anywhere from $50.00 to $300.00 (it depends on your lender). And again this is something I can help you with. If you are considering refinancing and live in the Denver Metro area please give me a call and we can set up an appointment so I can go over your options and give you an interest rate quote.

From Andrew Hahn at Capital Advantage have a great day and don’t miss this opportunity to take advantage of a good government program that allows you to take advantage of these low rates. Don’t wait to long the consensus is is that rates are on the way up.
