Refi into our name and Quit Claim from brother-in-law

Posted on: 09th Jan, 2011 08:34 am
Had a mortgage on a condo that was owner financed for 3 yrs only. Came time to refi and we could not do it, therefore, brother-in-law refi'd into his name and we've been making solid consistent payments for the last 31/2 yrs. My credit is poor, wife's credit is poor to fair. Can I just tell discuss (in writing/verbal) our situation with the lender/lenders of our consistent pattern of payment and have brother-in-law quitclaim deed and then get into our own mortgage? Do we need a co-signer? Help

hi mland,

the lender will not want to discuss about the mortgage with you as it is owned by your brother-in-law. moreover, with a poor credit, you will not be able to refinance the mortgage in your name. however, if you've a cosigner who has a good credit, then there are chances that you'll be able to refinance the mortgage.

thanks
