Real Estate Financing – FHA Mortgage and First Time Home Buyers – RealEstateMarketingThisWeek.com

realestatemarketingthisweek.com – The ancient rules no longer apply and Suze Ormond should know that. – Part 7 – We have Dan Havey the author of Real Estates Future in the studio today. Michael, I was just curious, back when I got into the industry many, many years ago there used to be a rule of thumb that if you were going to refinance you had to lower your interest rate by at least two percent and I know as time went along and products altered that really became unnecessary, but I am just curious in todays mortgage market its a lot different than we were dealing with even two years ago. Is that still right that there is a 2% rule? Whats going on now? I happened to catch Suze Orman on box and she was talking about mortgages, the caller who called in to the program, the question became I believe similar to what Dan just questioned, her comment was that basically if you’re in 6% interest rate or above now is the time to re-fi. That is what she said, a blanket recommendation. I know a lot of people place a lot of credence into what she says, possibly you could speak to that, the lowest interest rates you’ve seen in your career, you have been doing this for a while. I have, and they are. You know there was a lot of speak the last couple weeks about the Fed, the Fed funds rate by the way is the lowest it’s ever been in history. As of this week the discount rate is to the point that banks are lending money to each other at nothing, the Fed funds rate for intrabank lending is at zero

Can an International Student Get a Student Loan in America?

loan

Could an international student from the Netherlands get loans to go to school in America?

Additional Questions:
Would the interest rates and what not be reasonable?

Would they have to pay during school or would the loan start after school ends (like difference between subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans)?
I know that the Stafford loan is out of the question specifically. I didn’t know if there were other loans for an international student to get.

I graduated 6 months ago with numerous federal student loans combining more than 40K. Is it better for me to consolidate now or stay place? Will the fed cutting lending rates (now 3%) affect the interest rates that loan consolidators offer? Will i be offered either variable or fixed rates if i consolidate?

Borrow from 401k to Pay High Interest Student Loans?

loans

I have a 401k with $24,500.00 in it. Two of my student loans (together it’s $11,048) are at 9.5% interest rates (ouch!)

Should I borrow from my 401k to pay those off? Then amp up my contribution rate to pay it back? (I currently contribute 8% of my salary)

Or is this a really, really stupid thought? I just **** getting hosed on these loans!
