Ask Our Broker: Enticing Refinance Lenders

We are retired with hardly any income. The mortgage company has said our debt ratio is too high and denied us a loan. Our payments would drop $500 a month if we could modify our existing loan. We are not behind, never missed a payment, have an 800 credit rating, and the appraisal from the lender was $380,000. Our current loan is a fixed, 25-year 5.95-percent loan with a balance of $172,000, with approximately 16 years left. The only debts we have are this principal residence and a vacation home. A few free-and-clear rentals pay all our expenses, taxes, insurance and upkeep. Is there anything for us?
