Lower Interest Rate

Does it seem that your interest rate is high compared to what you are seeing? Mortgage rates have been at historic lows, and if you haven’t refinanced lately, there is likely a program that can reduce your rate and lower the amount of your mortgage payment every month.

As well, many people initially have a higher rate because of past credit issues that are now resolved, or can be resolved. So while you may think that your situation hasn’t changed, that may not be the case. Many of our clients find that we can reduce their rate due to changes in credit score, often quite dramatically.

Our team can make that determination quickly, and tell you if your rate makes sense. We offer a free analysis every 30 days. Call us now, and let us find out if we can lower your rate NEXT MONTH!

Cash- Out Refinance 

 

If you need cash without a specific purchase, one way may be to access the equity you have in your home with a cash-out refinance.

An All California First Home Loans Cash-out refinance loan lets you access the equity in your home and get cash at closing. Yes, it can often be just that simple!


When you close, the existing home mortgage and any liens on the property are paid off and replaced with this new mortgage.

 

A cash-out refinance up to 100% of your home’s value. You can use cash to buy those big-ticket items such as that pool you always wanted, college tuitions, health expenses or just consolidate debt.

Much of the difference goes into your pocket as cash.

As well, we have found that some of our clients are in situations where refinancing their mortgage is not the best solution. For example, their rate is very low, or they have years into the loan and would rather not refinance even if the rate is better.

For that situation, California First Home Loans has it's second loan and Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) programs, which use the equity in your home without refinancing your first mortgage.

It takes a specialist to know the right loan, based on your specific circumstances. Let us do a free evaluation, and we can show you our smartest choices!

Provide for Yourself a Piece of Mind

 

A reverse mortgage allows seniors to access the equity they've built up in their home. If one of the owners of your home is 62 or older, you may qualify for a reverse mortgage to eliminate your current mortgage payments and receive extra cash. You have full control over how to use reverse mortgage proceeds.

 

The mortgage is a non-recourse loan, meaning the borrower will never owe more than the home is worth. With your passing, your heirs can choose to sell the property to pay off the loan, or refinance the entire amount of the existing mortgage balance, regardless of the home's appraised value.

 

Seniors only need to repay reverse mortgages when the last surviving borrower sells the home or permanently leaves the residence. Until one of these conditions is met you live in your home and make no payments. Your annual obligations include property maintenance, property taxes, and insurance payments.

 

  • What is a reverse mortgage?

    • A reverse mortgage is a FHA government insured loan program which allows seniors take advantage of their equity that has accumulated in their home.

  • Will I still own my home with a reverse mortgage?

    • Absolutely. The home remains in your name and all existing retirement plans such as wills and trusts that you have created to benefit your heirs remain in place.

  • Is there any risk of losing my home?

    • If you fulfill all your obligations, then no. The obligations for a reverse mortgage are that you continue to pay your property taxes, insurance, and keep basic maintenance and repairs. If you do not uphold these responsibilities, the loan becomes due, which may mean the selling of the home to pay the loan. If you uphold these responsibilities and obligations as agreed, you will not lose your home. These are the same responsibilities that you have on your existing home loan.

  • How does a reverse mortgage work?

    • FHA reverse mortgage works much like a regular FHA mortgage with one very important difference, there are no payments due on a reverse mortgage. The payment that would normally get applied to the regular FHA loan merely gets added to the balance of a reverse mortgage.

  • How much money do I qualify for?

    • This simply depends on the equity of your home as well as your current age of the younger homeowner. Call one of our reverse mortgage expert at 877-504-2996 to find out what you qualify for.
