impossibility int'l. Said:
Will A Mortgage Company Refinance Me For Tax Lien? I was hospitalized 4 years ago and had to have a major surgery with a much longer recovery than I ever anticipated. I live alone, I dropped many of my responsibilities, it all fell by the wayside and actually it is only the last year I’m beginning to catch up. I didn’t file that year and I received an IRS letter recently with calculated penalties and interest of a little over $30k. On top of that I have outstanding uncollected hospital bills of about $30k. I have a home I inherited free and clear that is valued around 120k. My question is: Can I find a mortgage company that will deal with me though I have terrible credit and never had a mortgage? What kind of loan amount would be available? And what would likely be the interest range/terms for someone like me? Thing is, I don’t want to lose my house right when I’m just beginning to pull my life back together. thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Real estate lending has become strict. My answer would be no. IRS liens, open unpaid judgements, foreclosures/repos, can keep you from getting an approval. Subprime mortgage would be the only way to go and I wont bet on a good interest rate. Make sure your property is worth a lot! References :
The tax lien is your worst enemy right now. Now that you own this home they could seize it and auction it to pay your back taxes. You need to contact the IRS and setup a plan to repay this debt and stick to it before they take your home. They can and do seize property (just ask willie nelson) and it is only a matter of time before they find out about this property. I doubt any lenders will touch this until the lien is gone. If they were to loan you money they would be at risk of loosing their collateral to the IRS. If your home goes to auction your chances of getting the homes value would be greatly reduced, especially in this market. References :
