We bought our home through an auction and set up a contract of deed with the landlord.We are on a 5 yr ballon note w/10% APR. Citi has offered to consolidate a loan that we currently have with them and also the amount we are paying for our home. They will combine the two payments making it one payment which is great and extremely helpful to our financial situation. However, the APR is going to be 11% with a fixed rate for 30 yrs.
I spoke with a bank in my home town and there APR is 6-7%, way lower. However, considering our credit rating I highly doubt we would be approved.
I am wanting to do some upgrading and consolidate a few debts we have. Is there a loan that will allow all of this together. From what I understand we can only get a loan for what the house is appraised at. Considering the house needs a lot of work done to it I highly doubt that it will be worth what we are paying for it. From what my fiance says we are giving more than its worth.
