Quitclaim the best way?

Julie, Good afternoon. In TX it would not be a quit claim deed. It would be a Warranty Deed. You generally have to be on title for 6 months or lenders price you as a cash out and 12 to do a rate and term refinance. Sounds like we can show continuity of obligation with the canceled checks from your sole account. Would have to review. Give me a call and we can go over in detail. No you don't have to go with the current lender. You can go with anyone and most of the time if it is one of the mega banks you are better off going somewhere else.

Julie; Brad has a good answer below. Another suggestion would be to purchase the property from your Mother under a gift of equity (GOE) that she donates as the down payment. Under the GOE, most if not all lenders will require a 20% GOE since it's not an ams length transaction. The GOE amount will be determined by a new appraisal and the excess over the amount owed is the GOE. In this situation, you would possibly have to pay closnngs costs at closing if there was not enough GOE over the 20% to cover them.Good luck, hope this helps.Wes Cordeau

Julie, If your Mom is not expecting any money from the sale of the home you can simply buy it from her. Transferring the Deed and refinancing can get quite messy as noted here. A purchase would simply be much more straight forward and depending on your area you could finance all of the closing costs just like a refinance and bring little to closing. Quite frankly for the price you are noting I would try a Small Local Bank in the Corpus Christi area. The will offer you the most options. Henry J Daniels - Sr. Mortgage Banker NMLS #209419

Hi Julie:Since you are not on title right now this is a purchase finance. According to the equity available your mom can gift it to you to cover down payments and even closing cost if possible.There is no difference for you to go the Refi or purchase route as far as interest rates, I need a bit more information and can tell you exactly how to make this work out. Remember your credit, Debt to income, Loan to value are the main things that set interest rates.Give me a call at 972-827-7890 or e-mail Jerry@DallasFHAloans.com

You have two options: You can "purchase" the house using a "gift of equity" because you are a relative. Mom would gift you the down payment and closing costs. You need to write up a standard purchase agreement, and this would work immediately. Any competent loan officer can help you with the details. The second is what you are describing. Mom would quit claim the home into your name, and then as an owner, you could refinance. You must wait AT LEAST 6 months after the Quit Claim transfer before you could refinance. www.wi-mortgagebroker.com

There's obviously several ways to get financing in your situation... you should contact a local mortgage broker not a bank and let him look at the inner details of your scenario. He can guide you to the right loan product for your particular situation. WilliamAcres.com
