   First, start a savings account so your money can earn interest (however little) instead of sitting in a checking account. Do you have a budget and how much can you apply to savings or extra debt payments in the next year? If you don't have a budget, start one immediately. Check out DaveRamsey.com, mint.com or spend a few bucks on Quicken (personal finance software).

   Paying off the secondary mortgage will leave you with very little emergency savings. An emergency fund is extremely important in case of job loss, medical emergency, car accident or some other unforseen major expense. Option 2 is better IF you can replenish the emergency savings within a few months and there is very little risk of job loss or income reduction. If possible, I would save every penny you can for a few months to build up the savings before taking this major step. Aren't there fees for refinancing the ARM to a fixed mortgage? Does tuition cover all the costs of school?

   How about letting your daughter pay for it herself? Colleges often have entire centers dedicated to putting students to work for money, and I think it gives them better appreciation for their classes if they're paying for them.

   apply for financial aid.

   If you do loans, they should be in your daughter’s name. This way, if she quits college, you are not paying the loans for the next 10 years.

   If you want to actually pay the loans, OK, but keep them in her name.

   Your loan is full recourse by CA law. It was made so when you refinanced. You cannot take the money and just pocket it. You will still owe it after you foreclose.

   Yes, the amount of equity you have in your current residence (none, or upside down) will impact your attempt to purchase another home, but may not prevent it. Here is why:

   Last year, in an attempt to stop people from purchasing a new, nicer home at current market and then letting an existing, upside down home go back to the bank via foreclosure, the lending industry instituted some new rules. To prevent the "Buy and Bail" phenomenon, you must have 30% equity (or 25% for FHA) in your current home in order to use the rental income to qualify for the new purchase. If you do not have the equity, you can still buy a new home, but you must have sufficient income to qualify making both payments without the benefit of the rental income offsetting the expense of the rental. This is a problem for most people, but may not be for you. Most simply can't afford to make both payments.

   There are four main factors the bank looks at to qualify you: Credit Score, Loan-To-Value, Debt-To-Income ratio, and Assets/Reserves (cash in the bank). Specific to the loan on the Duplex, the Loan-To-Value was your problem. On a new puchase, that property would be classified as an investment property, and the fact that it is upside down does not directly influnce the loan for the purchase.

   Unfortunately, based upon what you said, your chances of being able to refinance are remote. But you can try to modify your loan with your existing lender(s). Call them and tell them that you want to modify your loan and that your financial hardship is loss of job, child care, major medical expenses and any other legitimate hardship that you may be experiencing. Have your income and expenses ready as they will "pre-qualify" you on your initial call. Check out your lenders website as some of them will have good information and will also have some paperwork for you to complete. Depending on who your lender is, they will more than likely review your situation for a modification. If approved, you'll more than likely have a lower payment and they will roll all of your past mortgage payments into the balance of your loan, bringing you current. You need to act quickly before your situation worsens and be very persistent with your lender as you do have legitimate reasons for a loan modification. Good Luck!

    I have checked on the Student Loan Website because they are in line with inflation and should have gone down this year. I was correct as of 6 March 2009 the rate is 1.5 %. This is clearly cheaper than a mortgage. If you are having problems paying then you should be able to appeal to them. I have never earned enough to pay any of mine off (10 years now) although I work full time and am only now just under the limit, but it does just go on what you earn and not your partner or husband earn so every year you can apply for deferred payments. If you come in under the limit on your own wage you do not have to pay. My argument is leave it till you can afford it – it doesnt count towards anything anyway. I have just had a new mortgage granted but as I am not paying my student loan off they didnt have to take it into account, only what you are actually paying out of your wages.
