Clark Howard Show Notes, November 24, 2010: Foreclosure Process, Jobless Claims, Mortgage Rates, Black Friday, Free Books and More
A low balance on your mortgage might prevent a lender from refinancing your mortgage. A seller who cannot sell their house might be tempted to refinance their mortgage. However, if the mortgage is almost paid off and the mortgage balance is low, the mortgage lender will probably not want to refinance the mortgage. If your mortgage balance is low, you're probably paying mostly principal on your low-balance mortgage. Refinancing a low-balance mortgage will probably cost you more money, and you're better off paying off your low-balance mortgage.
How long it takes to refinance a mortgage loan and when to refinance a mortgage loan. When should you refinance a mortgage loan? How long does it take to refinance a mortgage loan? Refinance a mortgage loan when interest rates are lowest. How long it takes to refinance a mortgage loan varies by mortgage lender and type of mortgage loan refinance. Refinance a mortgage loan when you know how long it takes to refinance a mortgage loan.
A Cash-In Refinance can help you raise the equity in your home to get a mortgage refinance and avoid private mortgage insurance. A cash-in refinance is where you put cash down on your mortgage to raise your equity and refinance your mortgage. You cannot refinance your mortgage if you don't have enough equity or if you are underwater on your mortgage. A cash-in refinance will raise your equity to the level where a mortgage lender will let you refinance your mortgage. A cash-in refinance will probably lower your monthly mortgage payments after you refinance
In September I started a new lease on an apartment in the city. I had rented other apartments during college so I was familiar with the process, but this was my first place as an "adult". I ended up with a great place, but getting there was a long, stressful road. Every Tuesday, I'll be sharing my experience and a little advice on the trials and tribulations of finding an apartment.
Clark Howard Show Notes, November 23, 2010: Holiday Rental Cars, Economy, Foreclosures, Black Friday, Ilyce's Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe It was a terrific, jam-packed Clark Howard show today. We started talking about how NHTSA is looking at car rental companies and investigating whether they're leasing cars that have been recalled. We did an economic update and talked about some positive news, but then the Federal Reserve announced that it is forecasting a worse than expected economy in 2011. Black Friday - some retailers are being naughty with their sales and returns policies and not nice. Visit Ilyce's blog for more information.

The holiday season is upon us, and while I love giving gifts and spending time with my family, all of that bonding can really add up. Between buying presents, making dinners, and traveling, it is not hard to see why people get financially stretched around the holidays. But let's not forget what all of the cheesy holiday movies have taught us: it isn’t about presents or a tree or even the perfect turkey, the holidays are all about family. But just how do we bank on all of that warm and fuzzy sentiment without seeming like cheapskates?
Thanksgiving Week Plans on the Ilyce Glink Radio Show. Hard to believe it's Thanksgiving this week. It seems too soon for the holiday, let alone all of the Christmas decorations I see adorning all the windows. But Thanksgiving Week means I'll be filling in for Clark Howard on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We'll talk Turkey on Tuesday (you can find my Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe below), Pre-Black Friday deals on Wednesday and then our annual Deals of the Day show on the day after Thanksgiving. I hope you can join us, as we'll be live-blogging during most of Thanksgiving week. On the show today, I also talked about book deals and a GREAT gift-giving opportunity: Free books from ThinkGlink.com and Free Ebooks. See below for details. And, for some reason, tax was on everyone's minds today. See below for great information on the Georgia Senior Tax Exclusion and Tax Brackets for 2010.
