I am a self employed prospective home buyer. I will be graduating in may with a BA In landscape Architecture. This is what I have run into.. I have just filed my first year of tax returns. So basically the business is under a year old. My credit score is around 730-740. The problem mortgage companies have been telling me I have is lack of employment. Althought I know money is not a problem, I can not just promise them. Also I have $60,000 in available credit with $2,000 used. Where should I go to get the best rates? One company told me about a variable program with a 8.5% rate. This seemed high to me. What Can I do to get a mortgage?

I received a 1099c for a home that was sold as part of a real estate short sale. The home was my residence for 3 years and then was rented out for 15 months. The home was rented from April 05 until it was sold in Sept 06. I know I have to file the 1099c but will I be able to use a form 982 to exclude the debt by claiming it to be qualified Real Property Business debt.

I'm looking into buying a townhouse or condo, but wondering about getting a loan. I know I should look around, but I don't know where to start? My friends have a guy that is working with them to get a loan, I think he's an independent guy. Should I see what he can do for me, or would just asking him mean I have to use him in the end? What about my bank? Would they give me a deal because I have my checking & savings accounts with them? Also, I've been told to avoid sup-prime lenders. Who is a sub-prime lender, and what are the pitfalls to getting a sub-prime loan, and how do I avoid them? I'm sure there are other lending groups out there, but how do I find them? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm assuming everyone is going to recommend Title Insurance, regardless if it is a new construction or not.

What's the difference between Owner's vs Lender's Title Insurance and do I need both?

On my estimate cost of settlement, Owner's Insurance is $4.40 per $1000 of sale price and Lender's Insurance is $2.90 per $1000 of loan amount.

What should I get? The home cost is approximately 350k.

Is it ever too soon to get a prequalified letter? My fiance and I both have credit scores between 680 and 720, never been into collections, and don't have much outstanding debt, $10,000 on a Jeep and $60,000 in school loan debt. Will this affect us from getting a very good rate? We are looking for 6-6.5% on a 30 yr. loan.
