New advantages for the 2007 tax year make mortgage insurance an attractive alternative to second loans. Brand new legislation, approved by Congress in December 2006, now allows for 100% deductible mortgage insurance (MI), to those who qualify.This increases the buying power for thousands of consumers who are unable to come up with the traditional 20% down payment: •Effective for the 2007 tax year on loans closed on or after January 1, 2007•Applicable to households with adjusted gross income <$100,000 •Simplified mortgage process - only one loan needed! Now, just like second loans, mortgage insurance is tax deductible. But, unlike second loans, there's no potential payment increase with MI. The new legislation is expected to save nearly one million Americans a total of $91 million when t... 12/29/2006

  Well, the elections are over and much to many people’s chagrin, the bond market did not explode, we did not see a rise in interest rates as a result of the Democratic win in mid- term elections , It is even possible to see a return to mortgage rates of 6% in the near future.  Maybe even high 5% range. There is however one topic I am very concerned about – a mortgage credit spiral.  Those with greatest exposure to this event will be those buyers who entered the market with poor credit, little money down and mortgages with adjustable rates or negative amortization payments that will mature and spiral out of control. Recently, a client called me in a panic.  He had received notice from his bank that his checking account was overdrawn.  Upon careful examination, he learned that his mortg... 11/12/2006
