If the total LTV between the 1st and 2nd liens add up to 100% or less, is there any way to add the 2nd to the first?

Question: If the total LTV between the 1st and 2nd liens add up to 100% or less, if the 1st lien is up to date and the 2nd lien is past due for more than 2 months, is there any way to add the 2nd to the first, even if they are with two different lien holders?

Answer: -NO. You’ll have to refinance. If the property is at 100% LTV already and the lending industry being what it is now plus having a few lates on your credit, chances are it will be very challenging to refinance this property into 1 loan.

Hi Jarad,
My name is Angela and I recently purchased your course (try yesterday) as real estate investing has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I have read many many books and watched countless dvds etc and now after reading your materials (which made everything so much easier to understand by the way so thanks very much for that!!) I am ready to hit the ground running.

Hi Jarad,
I ordered your Fortunes in Foreclosures package. The best information I have found thus far on how to do "Short Sales" I have spent thousands of dollars and have even sent some of the materials I purchased (yes the more expensive ones) back because it did not give me the information I was looking for. I was in the middle of doing a short sale and needed more information that the expensive packages I had just purchased did not even offer. I really do appreciate the materials you have put together.
