Is it possible to refinance on a house if there is no equity?

Posted on: 07th Jul, 2009 06:51 am
my ex girlfriend is going to refinance the loan in her name, she wants me to sign a quitclaim deed. if there is no equity in the house, will she be able to refinance in her name? we had the house for a year now.
Hi

If there's no equity in the property, she'll not be able to refinance the loan in her name. No lender would want to refinance a property that does not have any equity. In that case, I think you should not sign the quitclaim deed. If she's not able to refinance, you will remain responsible for the loan.

First, how are you determining the available equity in the property? Was the home appraised or are you simply estimating? FHA will allow for a refinance up to 97.5% which is as close as you're going to get to financing with "no equity". If the remaining equity is lesser than the 2.5%, you will be unable to refinance. I hope this helps...
