My second mortgage balance is $94,000.00 with a adjustable payment currently at $786.00 per month.
The appraised value of my home has dropped from $845,000 to $730,000 in one year. What can I do?
First, stop making less than the full interest payments. You are only digging a deeper hole adding interest to your principal balance.
Secondly, what is your credit like? Are you trying to lower your payments? If your 2nd mortgage company will agree, you may be able to refinance just your first mortgage into a low fixed rate. Otherwise, call both lenders if you are having trouble making payments and see what they can work out with you.
Are you in Las Vegas?
Not a thing, your in the same boat as many people due to the real estate and mortgage market. I would never advise anyone on an "adustable rate" anything. If you can't do afford a "fixed" rate, you can't afford it . Call a reliable debt counselling service.
GENERAL QUESTION: WHO "NEEDS" A $730,000 HOME? Also if you just "WANT" one....pay cash.
What can you do? Basically nothing except wait for home values in your area to go up again or find a way to pay off your second asap and refinance your first mortgage.
If you have a home that is that expensive, you certainly have corners you could cut in other areas (less expensive car, rent out a room or two, etc) in order to pay off your second and get that albatross off your back.
Appraisals are an opinion of value. You may want to get a second appraisal. If it can be shown that you have at least 20% equity in your home then you may be qualified to drop the mortgage insurance provided to your lender. This should drop you monthly payment.
Unless your income warrants such a house, get out from under it.
add trees or cut your losses before they get any worse........
Welcome to the club. (you must live in California) You won't be able to refinance because of the drop in value. Save your money, don't get another appraisal. At this point you have no choice but to ride out the next couple of years and wait for the market to go back up...which it will. Other choices would be to try and sell the home just to break even or you can declare bankruptcy or you can walk from the home and give the bank a deed in liu...both will ruin your credit for at least 2-4 years.
If you can afford a payment like that you can probably afford an accountant
I am amazed at how some one can afford a house payment like that IE have a good income and ask such a stupid question. You are upside down you can not move with out losing your shirt yea you have have to pay some one to move or buy your home.
Since the bank has screwed you i would pay the least amount possible and save and hide the rest, you will need that money since it will cost you big time to walk away after you go bankrupt, do not worry that adjustable will kick in big time and soon.
Also i would buy a fire proof safe and hope you have bad wiring and a fire burns down every thing, the funny thing there is your insurance will still only cover the appraised Value and you still have to pay the mortgage off.
Best of luck you will need it.
