Top Rated Mortgage Lenders

Okay, my little brother's gotten himself into quite a mess- HELP!?

How long did he live in the home? If it was over a year, you should be able to rent it out with little legal dificulties as most "Owner Occupied" provisions will have been met.

The moment that the house is caught up in mortgage payments, refinance that bad boy into a 30-50 yr fixed.

You can cover your own home payment and his? Sweet. What job do you have, and how do I get it (or a similar one). =)

This may save his credit, but how much money are you going to have to sink into his home? Would it just be easier to pay off his personal loan to the bank and make him pay it back to over over the years and sell the home now?

Ex-wife asside, he really set himself up for problems by enrolling in the ARM. Make sure he understands how far back he started making his mistakes.

On a personal note, you're being a hell of a sister. I've got three sisters myself, and while we've all helped each other out, it's never been for something as massive as a continuous mortgage payment.
