I’ve been approved for a 1st mortgage at a fixed rate of 7.38 and a 2n mortgage interest only at 10.425. This loan is for an investment property. I’ve been told that the 2nd loan is Home equity line of credit. How much will my payments go up on the 2nd mortgage and should I look for another loan. Thank You.

I recently applied for a FHA loan to buy a home in another state b/c my husband’s job is relocating him. We own a home in our current state, and the loan officer said we were approved after submitting documentation (W-2s, pay stubs, etc) verifying we had the income/assets to carry the costs of two houses. Our FHA financed home in our new state will be our primary residence; we likely plan to rent out our current home to wait out the bad market. Our LO said we don’t have to list our current home as an investment property since we haven’t listed it to rent. He also said that they pretty much don’t care what we do with the current house since our income shows we can carry both mortgages and still fall in line with their desired DTI ratios. I’m just worried things will fall through b/c they’ll decide for some reason we can’t have two mortgages. Is this a senseless fear?

My wife and I are currently looking at a manufactured home with 1.8 acres of land in South Carolina, it is a doublewide home, on a permanent foundation, currently it is “unhabitable”, in that the sinks have been removed and may need some electrical work. Trying to find a mortgage is killing us. Our credit scores are in the low 700′s. We have been pre approved for twice as much as this purchase would be. Are there other options like getting it as an investment property or doing a land loan on it? I need to know if this is even possible, or if there is a way to beat the loan system that is making it super hard to get a loan on a manufactured home.
