Carver High School will host
a Parent Registration Information
and Review Session April 8 at

ents of Carver students and par
ents of rising ninth-grade students
will receive copies of their chil
dren's course selections for the

year, and focus on graduation
requirements for the classes of

Mortgage Company Offers Loans to People
Turned Down By Other Financial Institutions;
With interest rates at record lows,
millions of Americans are saving
thousands of dollars by refinancing
their homes and consolidating debt
built up over the years. But accord
ing to many experts, thousands have
been unable to refinance or consoli
date debt due to credit problems.
The irony is that lower payments
are the answer to their current prob
lems.
A Specialist In
Problem Loans
CMB mortgage has stepped in to
fill the gap where conventional
lenders have refused to go. CMB
Mortgage has developed a special
loan package for those turned down
by other banks and mortgage com
panies. The lender has secured
loans for homeowners with tax
liens, previously bankrupt home
owners, those with high debt ratios.
and those whose debt-to-equity
ratios on their homes exceed normal
rules.
Loans Range From
$15,000 To $1,500,000
According to research conducted by
CMB Mortgage, credit problems
are not limited to lower income bor
rowers. Many who have been
declined by other banks currently
hold mortgages well above
$250,000. A significant portion
exceed $500,000. Typically these
homeowners are professionals and
executives who, like lower income
borrowers, have temporarily been
unemployed Or experienced income
drops during the recession and con
sequently missed debt payments.
The result is a poor credit report
even though they are now well on
the way to financial recovery.
Nationwide Lending
Capability
CMB Mortgage is on its way to
becoming one of the nation's largest
lenders. CMB Mortgage offers
applications by phone; 48 hour loan
approvals and many other features
not available through traditional
loan resources. CMB Mortgage has
loan programs that will provide
loans up to 125% of the value of
your home. Those wishing more
information should contact Eric
Wainer, Director of Residential
Lending at CMB Mortgage 910
379-9800. CMB Mortgage also
makes standard conforming loans in
any amount up to $1,500,000.
