What if your home is worth $700k and you have a $200k HELOC plus $423k mortgage?
Surpass thought just to sell or small sale? Payments total are $4818/mo and we make around $72k a year. I was thinking of a refi just to keep the house for about 3 years, then after rebulding our credit, sell it and down size.

Do Investors and First Home Buyers Buy the Same Property?
John Symond, from Aussie, look at first time investors who are generally small investors seeking property which has a excellent yield, and yields are excellent at the moment because theres a shortage of supply.

What Is Entailed When Co-signing with Someone Trying to Refinance Their Home?
My sister is being paid into serious distress with her home and it may be foreclosed. She bought into one of those designer mortgages several years ago and now the interest rate is ridiculously high and her mortgage is double from what she started with.
