Can you get a mortgage allowing you to bid on a foreclosed property?
Die Bart Die asked:
Our realtor advises that only buyers with cash in hand can buy foreclosed properties at auction. There is a technical challenge buying if you need a mortgage as you have to be in contract to be able to get the mortgage approved. Is this true or is there a valid way you can get a mortgage and bid on a foreclosed property at auction?

Is there a new refinance program that forgives negative equity and refinances the house at current value?

I heard about some new government loan where if your home has dropped in value, the government will absorb the depreciation and refinance your house at its current market value. I just bought my first house in August of 2008 for $275,000 which was a foreclosure and the other foreclosed homes surrounding me are now being offered in the $240,000 range. So in 4 months I’ve already lost around $35,000 in value.

I have a mortgage on one home, can I get a second mortgage to pay for another house?
TexasBound asked:
I’m planning to relocate, but current owe a mortgage for $50k. I also have a bankruptcy on my record thats a couple of years old. I’d like to find new home in the state I choose to live in. Would I be able to get a second mortgage or refinance my current home in order to pay for a new one?
