Talk With Steph

Feel free to register at the “RSVP Now” link on the right to speak with me. I have blocked out time to speak twice a week.   Call me and we can discuss your personal scenario one on one. In the past I have taken random calls throughout the day and would love to continue to do so but am unable to do so while running my operation.  We can discuss everything from Bankruptcy Loans to Loan Audits.  Because I do have a very busy schedule and manage a sizeable operation and family I will be taking phone calls 2 to 3 days a week at a pre-arranged and blocked time.  There is no cost for these calls.  I do ask that you make a donation.  Feel free to join one of my next scheduled calls.  Remember to click the link to the right that says “RSVP Now!“  I’d love to hear from you.

Professionally yours,

Steph Love

    hi steph, I am interested in the real estate investing. Could you tell what exactly FDI teaches about this? I really like the fact that they help fix your credit and all the other benefits, but I really hate selling things. Could I just sign up for the benefits?

    We filed bankruptcy in November 2004. About 4 months ago (3 years into this) I spoke with another loan company and she told me that we may not have enough equity in our home to do a bankruptcy buyout. I don’t even know what our payoff is because our attorney said that they charge a $500 fee to figure out the payoff! Our payments keep going up and we are currently paying over $1,250 a month. We are working so hard, making our payments to keep our house, and cannot ever afford to do anything to it. If there is anything that you could do for us, it would be greatly appreciated. We are getting pretty weary. The best number to reach me is (XXX) XXX-2809. Thank you, Lori Johns

    Steph, I filed Chapter 7, 10 months ago. I need to refinance my ARM but most mortg. brokers are saying I need to be 1yr out of bankruptcy. That won’t happen for a couple of months. I think the problem is that my loan is a Jumbo loan. 800k. Any suggestions? I don’t want to fall behind the next two months cause my ARM adjusted to 10% and went up almost 1500 dollars. That would jeopardize my refinance.

    Would like your opinion. We are 11 months shy of finishing our Ch13 (5 year plan) We have requested permission to Buy-out our BK with an FHA Cash Out loan with the same interest rate of 5.75% that we have on the current mortgage.
    My attorney scared me by saying the Trustee (Nashville, TN) most likely wont approve this because we were not on an ARM and this would just add more debt. The BK payoff is $9000.
    Is there any truth to this or is she just not helpful and wants me to stay in the BK for some reason? Would love to hear your opinion.

      Shaun,

      Thanks for your inquiry and congratulations on being so close to your discharge date. I have so many questions to ask you concerning your current situation… e.g.
      1 – Have you been 30 days late on your current Bankruptcy Payments?
      2 – Have you been 30 days late on your mortgage since the filing of your Bankruptcy?
      3 – Are your payents Payroll deducted?
      4 – Did you open any new accounts while in Bankruptcy?
      5 – Any lapse in employment for an extended period?

      I have several more questions to ask but don’t have the time to ask them all here. Furthermore, answers to any/all of those questions will likely spark spin off questions. Just know that it is possible to Refinance your loan while in Bankruptcy.

    I filed bankruptcy in November of 2007. Since filling I got an auto loan, the interest rate is extremely high, I’ve had the loan for 1 year and was 31 days late once. Now I’m thinking of trying to buy a home, do you think this will affect me negatively. My income is not that great for a NY resident, 71k annually and my car payment is $600 monthly, do you think it would be possible for me to buy a house?

      Joy, thanks for your inquiry. The general rule of thumb is to avoid late pay on accounts while in Bankruptcy. Having said that , there maybe exceptions to the rules based on several factors that would determine your willingness ability to repay a mortgage loan. Your payment history on Bankruptcy, rental history, overall creditworthiness as well as other factors will likely be considered by the Underwriter reviewing your file.

      You may want to consider exploring this option. If so, please visit http://www.ChooseEagle.com and your information will be forwarded directly to me. I will review and call your personally to discuss. Best wishes and I sincerely hope this information was helpful.

    Jeff,

    Thanks for your question. If you should happen to win the lottery I pray that you won’t forget about the little people here. On a serious note, if you should happen to inherit some large sum of money I would advise you to immediately call your attorney and seek legal counsel on this matter.
