Ameriquest Ripoff high pressure in Denver Colorado
I am looking for some advice. First, I am thankful for all the information about Ameriquest. I have recently started a new job and although things are really picking up, it is going to take a few more months before the income is enought to live on. I have about $60,000 of equity in my condo. I also have $50,000 in my 401k. I tried to get an equity line of credit from my mortgage company (Chase), but since I don't have two years of income from my new job they will not help me. Ameriquest is very anxious to help. In fact, they even have called behind my back to try to get a VOE. They also want to send a courier out to my home to deliver the paperwork so we can wrap things up quickly. Does anyone know if my best bet will be to take a loan out of my 401k? All I need is about $10,000 to tide me over. By then I will be making more than enough out of my business. I don't want to go with Ameriquest. I will be thankful for any suggestions.

You need 10 grand thats it?
why would you refi just for that When you have 50k in a 401 k?
Are you getting a lower rate?
Locking in?
Consolidating?
what else is the loan doing for you to even consider going with it?

Hi there, my name is tom - i am a licenced mortgage broker in ohio.
listen , i dont know chase criteria in colorado. but in ohio all u need is a 700 fico for stated income. means u dont have to prove income. Even if u do - just because u only had ur job less than 2 years doesnt mean u cant prove income for 2 years. as long as its loosly termed as 'the same industry' most lenders dont care how many jobs u have had as long as its 2 years straight.
i wouldnt suggest busting the 401k . instead consolidate -even refi your first to get ur cash. i would suggest 30k - as lenders use 'tiers' and a 10k loan will land u a high interest rate.
BUT DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT GO WITH AMERIQUEST. THEY DONT GIVE A s**t ABOUT YOU - AND WILL WRITE YOU A HORRIBLE LOAN JUST TO GET THE COMMISSION . DO NOT
DO NOT
GO ANYWHERE NEAR AMERIQUEST. BREAK UR 401K BEFORE THAT.

Take the 401K loan. DO NOT go with Ameriquest. They will ruin you. You can elect to pay off the 10K loan with your 401K or not, it's up to you. You will have a small tax to pay on it, but that's it.
Whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM AMERIQUEST!!!
