Getting rid of neg equity by leasing a new vehicle? How does it work?

September 29th, 2009 mortgage 4 comments

The negative equity for both cars is around 9000. Is it possible for me too trade in both cars towards a lease on one car and if so would a long term lease (3 yrs or something) ultimately get rid of the negative equity? Or is 9000 combined negative equity just too much?

Sorry you are so far in debt on your cars, that is not uncommon. Driving them out is about the only way to work this out.

Buying a Chevy, Ford or Chrysler is a good start, they will often go over 250,000 miles with minimal maintenance if they are kept up.

And buying American brands keeps most of the profits in the U.S., keeps American workers working paying high payroll taxes and helps pay for all our community programs.

How should I go about refinancing my home?

September 29th, 2009 mortgage 3 comments

I have a mortgage loan at 6% with a balance less than 80,000/8 years. Should I refinance the balance that I owe to invest my money somewhere else? Would it be worth refinancing with only 8 years left? I was thinking about purchasing a new home and renting the current one that I have. The market where my home is very good for renting. Thank you.

Dear Leilani,

Without greater knowledge of your full loan terms and the likelihood of your finding a "good" investment, I would recommend staying in your present position. Why?

(1) Your current payments reflect a far greater percentage of principle than interest.(2) Your financing costs will likely exceed any savings from a nominal discount on your interest rate for your remaining $80,000. (3) The real estate market is still at a critical stage for at least the next six months and markets that have not previously sufferred may suddenly tank on general economic grounds. (4) This is not the best time to take risks. (5) Enjoy your good fortune of being able to sleep well at night. (6) Unless the home you wish to purchase is in a distinct real estate market many miles from your rental property, you will be putting all your eggs in a single basket. Is this what you want to risk?

Residential real estate is no longer a favorable investment strategy. Few people are rushing to buy or capable of getting loans. Your investment will bring a few extra dollars of income, slow appreciation and new best friends in the form of tenants who will call you 24-7 every time the toilet backs-up, some water leaks or light bulb flickers. You may not get a kick out of managing your property and take it personally when you see it being hard used or abused. Hard to get out of your situation once you take the plunge.

Alternative- Buy common date U.S. gold coins or bullion. Stash in a safety deposit box. When Congress gets through spending 835 Billion Dollars we will see gold at @$2,500 oz. On the other hand, McDonalds will have new famous $10 value meals.

Good luck.

How does equity work in a startup and how do I cashout on it?

September 17th, 2009 mortgage 1 comment

I understand that employees take cuts in pay and in return get generous equity. How does that equity materialize in the future? If one is promised, for example, $20,000 in equity but the company suffers, would the employee see that money in the end?

When you get equity, you are getting a portion of ownership in the company. Equity becomes valuable usually when either the company is purchased by another or it sells stock on the public markets (exchange like NASDAQ) also called "going public" or an IPO (initial public offering). When another company buys your company, your stock will be purchased, typically with either cash or the new company’s stock which if a public company, you can sell.

It is difficult to say whether you’ll get any money from your stock if the company suffers but the likely answer is "no". Your stock will probably be common stock which puts you last in line to get money in the event of financial troubles. The investors will get theirs first and rightfully so. With equity, you are basically getting a bet on the success of the company. If the company does well, it could make you a lot of money. It is a very good way to incentivise employees to work hard to make the company a success.

Does refinancing a mortgage hurt your credit score?

September 17th, 2009 mortgage 8 comments

I am in a arm loan and am looking to refinance after 2 years. I heard that refinancing can drop your credit score up to 30 points? Am i better off trying to sell or refinancing if i’m planning on selling after 5 years?

Refinancing your loan should have minimal impact on your credit score.

If you don’t have a second mortgage or equity line of credit you may qualify for a streamline refinance that will lower the costs and expedite the process for you.

Feel free to email me with any questions.
