I rarely participate in these comments, but I really have to share my story with 1 company which has tremendously helped me. I just turned 74, many obstacles have come in the way of my retirement including a divorce a few years ago which really hurt me financially, to be honest I had this feeling that my savings and SS income were not going to be enough. Months and months of research and dealing with big banks - nothing but a big headache and they wanted to charge an arm and leg - I was considering a standard home equity loan but then I started reading about reverse mortgages. Long story short, i found this company while searching online - reverse mortgage lenders direct - they were able to automatically compare lenders for me and quote me a fantastic quote. I am not saying you need to do a reverse mortgage (for me this has been excellent and recommendable) but if you do here is their number 877 700 0534 - you can find the site online search for reverse mortgage lenders direct.

Free the Housing Market! (So I can finally buy a home).

The assertion that buyers will be hurt because it's harder to get a big loan is absurd. If it's harder to get big loans, prices will come down until they're low enough that there are sufficient buyers who can get loans. Sellers lose (value that they never really had), but buyers are even better off. As a potential buyer two years into saving up for a big down payment, I say remove all the supports! Make housing affordable again!

Why is the conforming limit still so high? $625000 for the middle-of-the-market? People who buy at such elevated prices must be totally nuts. It's these morons who delay the inevitable bottoming of the market. Still a lot of optimism in the housing market which means the bottom is a ways away.

Lenders often define “no-cost” refinancing differently, so be sure to ask about the specific terms offered by each lender. Basically, there are two ways to avoid paying up-front fees. The first is an arrangement in which the lender covers the closing costs, but charges you a higher interest rate. You will pay this higher rate for the life of the loan. You can read more at "123 Refinance" to learn all the ways
