Spunkfight asked:


I have an interest only mortgage with my mortgage lender but I would now like to let my house out.

I have been advised that if I let my house out I am obliged to let my mortgage provider know.

I don’t know what the repercussions of this would be if I did or didn’t tell them. How would they find out if I just let it out anyway? What would they do if they ever found out? If I meet their mortgage repayments they shouldn’t have a problem, should they?

Can anyone enlighten me on these matters?

Artist at Heart asked:


We have been pre-approved by a mortgage company. The mortgage company has recommended a real estate agent. I am a little leary of going with this real estate agent, however, because, being a first time home buyer, I need a lot of guidance. I am afraid that, being tied to the mortgage broker, the real estate agent might not fight to get us the best mortgage deal (if it happens to be with a company other than the original mortgage broker’s).

How do you go about getting a good mortgage deal?

buad0118 asked:


I am going to bid on a house at foreclosure and it has a 1st mortgage of $280K and a second of $70K. The lender on the first two mortgages is Decision One Mortgage. The lender at foreclosure is Countrywide. Does this mean that if I buy this house at foreclosure that I will own additional money to the second mortgage or just the first mortgage and back taxes?
