A debt consolidation service knows that you are short on cash. You would not be there otherwise. They can assume you may have bad or decreasing credit as well. In fact, most consolidators have probably seen it all and know exactly what situation you are in.

Still, despite the understanding and willingness to go all out and help, the business still needs to make a profit. They also need to protect themselves from different potential types of liabilities and damages. For these reasons, it is necessary to qualify for the use of their services.

The most basic requirement will be an asset. An asset is anything that you own that can be sold for cash. Specifically, it is something of about the same, or greater, value than the consolidation loan will be. The lender will require that, should you default on the loan, they will take possession of your agreed upon assets and try to recoup the money that was lost.

Among the easiest ways to save money is to use the cards that merchants, usually grocery stores, pass out for free to solidify shopper loyalty. At last count we had over 30, due to our travels living in an RV. You don’t have to be an RVer to use them, rare is the store that does not offer them.

I am continually amazed at some people’s reluctance to get these cards. They are free and take about a minute to get from customer service. Perhaps it is the reluctance to give out information, I don’t know.

I do know that you leave big bucks at the checkout stand without using them. It is automatic at our house to first hand over the card to the checker.

For instance when you buy a nice bottle of wine for say $10 you are probably going to save $2 by using the card…some can’t be bothered…me I’ll take the savings. Continue reading ‘Easiest Ways to Save Money – Use Merchant Cards’ »

Today’s mortgage lending environment is becoming more and more difficult for borrower to get approved for mortgage refinance traction. Since the housing market began to turn lenders have started to tighten up their underwriting standards making it harder for borrower to get approved. Fortunately, for veteran borrowers they have two very flexible transaction options to ease the approval process through their own VA home loan program.

VA Interest Rate Reduction Loan (IRRL)

The 1st option is something called a VA Interest Rate Reduction Loan (IRRL). This is a loan where the veteran borrower already has a VA home loan and would like to refinance down to a lower interest rate given the current market interest rates. The amazing benefit of this loan is that it’s incredibility easy to get approved. There are no appraisals required so value is not of a concern. There are no minimum credit scores; however, some investors and large banks have started requiring minimum credit scores recently.

The paperwork needed to process these loans is minimal at best. There are no paystubs, W2s, or bank statements required. One thing to watch at for is with such easy credit standards veterans become very susceptible to unscrupulous lenders that are more than willing to take advantage of borrower. The majority of my previous clients are receiving unprecedented amount mailers that make it seem that VA rates are lower than that actually are. So please watch out for your closing costs when proceeding with caution with such a transaction. Continue reading ‘VA Refinance Home Loans’ »
