Mortgage help?
Posted by: | CommentsOct

I just made a mortgage payment on 4/29/08. Is that for April or May?
Posted by: | CommentsBasically I want to know if mortgage payments are made in arrears or paid ahead? And we also pay into our escrow account at that time, is that the same as the principal & interest in terms of paying in arrears or ahead?
Well, now I’m thoroughly confused! Here’s my situation in full:
Closed on a new house May 2. We received a credit for 2 days of interest. Our first payment on the new home is due June 1.
Our current condo is sold and will close on May 28. So, what I’m trying to figure out, is will we need to make another payment on May 29 like we normally would? Sounds like the answer is yes?
Hope that last detail add is clear - I know when our new house mortgage is due, I’m trying to figure out when we owe our last payment on the condo we are selling that closes on May 28!

Sell And Rent Back: Avoiding Real Estate Problems
Posted by: | CommentsAre you or a friend or family member in a real state of panic over a mortgage payment out of control and out of your ability to pay? Is foreclosure a very real possibility that robs you of sleep and peace of mind every single day? If so, you need to know about a scheme to sell and rent back your own home that is legitimate and legal and that may be just the answer you need.
The houses involved in rent back plans usually have difficulties stemming from flexible or adjustable interest rates on their mortgages. These allowed for rock-bottom down payments up front and made it possible for a great number of purchasers to get qualified and buy property. It was believed that these people would see continuous salary increases over the years and would find the increased monthly charges affordable as the interest increased.
A problem arose when mortgage rates increased faster than people’s incomes, and they would fail to keep up with monthly payments. More and more property owners were faced with foreclosures and repossessions, without much relief from the government. To avoid eviction, owners under pressure found a way to sell and rent back. This way they could eventually own their homes again.
If you decide to enter a sell and rent back arrangement, here is what must be done. Before anything else, you must find a financial institution that deals in this type of contract, one that will accept you as a client and purchase your house. This can take some time, because you need to deal with an institution that is reliable and has good ratings.
Next, according to the terms of your contract to sell and rent back you will make a deposit like any rental in some cases, and will pay a fixed and predictable monthly rent, usually based on local averages, for a set period of time, typically about one year. This may be renegotiated or allow for indexed price changes after the time allowed.
The nice thing about these contracts is that they include a clause that allows you, within a certain number of years, to buy your home back. So, for example, if you find a new loan in the future, you can use it to purchase your home again. You won’t have to move out of your house, and you will even be a homeowner again. That is why anyone having a hard time paying her mortgage should give a sell and rent back plan a serious consideration.
If you are in a real state of panic because you can’t pay your mortgage then you should learn about a legitimate sell and rent back your own home plan. It is legal and may make it possible for you to remain in your home. If you decide to enter a homes for rent back arrangement, here is what must be done. First, you must find a financial institution that deals in this type of contract, one that will accept you as a client and purchase your house. You need to deal with an institution that is reliable and has good ratings.
