Ditech Mortgages
We've all seen the Ditech commercials that advertise "You should have gone to Ditech". Well, here is your chance. If you want to check Mortgage Interest Rates or get a quote for New Home or Home Equity Loans you should check here first. Ditech makes mortgages easy. They provide competitive, low rates and approval decisions within minutes over the phone. When I applied for my mortgage, the amount of paperwork and time required was crazy. I didn't know that I was approved until the week that I was supposed to close. To me, that is not acceptable.
Your Ditech mortgage consultant has the ability to provide you with a conditional approval decision in just minutes during your very first phone call. Ditech closings are fast and on your schedule. Most loans are closed in under 30 days-with many able to close in as few as 10 or 15 days. Ditech mortgage consultants are available 24/7 for 363 days of the year (closed on Christmas day and New Years Day). As an added convenience you can sign virtually all documents online. Ditech eSignature℠ is a special online tool from Ditech, that allows you to sign virtually all loan documents electronically and from the comfort of your own computer-so the process is faster, easier, and a lot more convenient. If you are struggling to meet your monthly payments, find out how a Home Equity Line of Credit may be able to help you.

Looking for a mortgage?
Are you looking for a home mortgage with a reputable and established company? With all of the bad news about the housing crisis and the crackdown on mortgage companies, it's nice to know that a company has been around for awhile. Mortgage Finders Network has been online since 1995 and is dedicated to helping people find the mortgage that best suits their needs. Whether you are looking for a new home loan, a refinance, or a home equity loan the Mortgage Finders Network can help.
Buying a home can be stressful with so many decisions to make regarding which types of loans to have and which lender to obtain it from. When I bought my home, I went with a broker that I knew personally but maybe you don't have that option. Many small regional banks are finding it difficult to get loans approved right now so larger more established banks can offer you the best rates and better terms. I really like that the Mortgage Mart has a blog that is full of useful information for anyone looking to obtain a mortgage as well as current homeowners. They discuss everything from the subprime crisis to how to move with kids. They also have a great section on how to avoid scams. Just yesterday, I heard on the news that a Florida man defrauded several people by pretending to refinance their homes when in reality he stole their information and sold their homes right out from under them. That's scary stuff folks, so please be informed.

Serious real estate Investors need to check this out!
This is the coolest thing!! REmapper™ is a map-based tool that not only gives you more than a dozen metrics like job growth, vacancy rates and the like, but actually predicts housing prices six and twelve months into the future. This information is updated monthly and daily and includes forecasting for over 208,000 local markets.
This system allows analysis down to the block level while most online tools provide numbers at the County or ZIP code level only. Forecast when to buy, when to sell, and much more.
REmapper™ was created by a team of statisticians who spent three years crafting an algorithm that accounts for more than 640 variables down the census block level. Forecasts have been tested in markets across the country and while a forecast is still a forecast and cannot be guaranteed, the creators are confident that REmapper™ gives you a clearer look into a market that any tool currently available.
REmapper™ gets data from the following:
* Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
* Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
* Dow Jones
* Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
* Federal Reserve Board
* Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
* Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA)
* National Association of Realtors (NAR)
* National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
* Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO)
* Conference Board
* American Bankers Association
* United States Census Bureau
* United States Department of Defense (DMDC)
* United States Postal Service (USPS)
* Other public and private sources.
Get 1 free week! Choose your selected area, either County, Metro, State, and test drive this awesome tool for 7 days absolutely free. Unfortunately, this offer does not apply to the National Subscription. Check out http://www.remapper.com to find more information on about this great tool. They are also offering a special promotion where you can get either State, County, or Metro for only $59.00 each per month and still get the first week absolutely free.
Check out an example of the mapping tool at http://www.remapper.com/map.aspx. You can input a zip code and it will go right to the city center and then allows you to choose one of 13 different reports. An example of a sample report shows everything from 6 month home value forecast to median income growth and affordability as well as new business growth and job growth or unemployment. This is the perfect tool for serious real estate investors, real estate agents or brokers and mortgage agents.
REmapper™ also has a list of the Top 10 Cities Strongest Cities according to their data. Ranking #1 for new business growth is Los Angeles, California, while #1 for new jobs is New York, NY. At the top of the list for affordability is Kermit, TX. Jacksonville, Floria which is about an hour and half from me is #9 on the new business growth list. At the top of the list for Quality of Life and Population growth is Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. I strongly encourage to check out this site and see where your city ranks and then decide for yourself if this is the right tool for you.
