charlotte: FHLB Grant for NC 1st Time Homebuyers Down Payment Assistance - 01/29/11 12:11 AM
Many people haven't heard of the FHLB (Federal Home Loan Bank) grant program for 1st time home buyers in North Carolina, so I thought I'd share information about this great program. Similar programs may be available in other states. This program is only available through member banks of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. The only participating NC banks that I am aware of are RBC Bank and Monarch Mortgage. As of today, both of these lenders have their 2011 funding for this program. I know loan officers with both of these lenders, so let me know if you need a good loan officer to

charlotte: You're facing foreclosure- is a short sale the answer? - 10/18/08 10:12 AM
Many homeowners are finding that their home's current market value is less than they paid for it. Even more tragically, the value of their home is less than the loan payoff. They always heard that home values will go up over time, they thought they were building equity in their home... thus saving for retirement or for a down payment to move up to a larger home in a few years. If possible, home owners should stay in their home, keep their mortgage current and ride out the "mortgage crisis".

charlotte: GREAT DEALS on Short Sale Properties in Charlotte NC - 10/06/08 05:23 PM
A short sale occurs when the proceeds of a real estate sale fall short of the balance owed on the property.

This negotiation is all done through communication with a bank's Loss mitigation department. A Realtor can help you through this process and negotiate with the bank on your behalf.
