harris county: After Loan Approval....DON'T BREATH AT ALL UNTIL YOU CLOSE!
- 06/16/11 02:29 AM
Larry has once again pointed out something very important to remember. When getting a mortgage, do not apply or open any new credit until after you close. A new credit report is pulled before closing. And that new account could get your loan denied. www.DaveYourMortgageGuy.com
Or At Least Until You Close Here's the deal Your credit will be re-pulled prior to closing! Book it! Bank on it! Expect it! Last month we had about 1500 closings and two issues came up prior to closing. One person had new credit because of a recent purchase and the other person had just … (6 comments)

harris county: C is for Condo, T is for Townhome. Pay Attention to which it is in Houston, Texas
- 01/19/11 12:02 PM
Here in Houston, we have a unique situation. It is "condos" that look like Townhomes. It walks like a townhome, talks like a townhome, but its quacks like a condo. The property is listed on HAR.com(MLS) as a townhome, it looks like one. The contract is done on a 1-4 family residential contract. But on the tax record it shows a Condo. to know the exact answer, look up the property on the Harris County Appraisal District. And look under the "building type". Some genius came up with the idea that if you call townhomes, condos you can build more of … (0 comments)

harris county: VA Loans for Surviving Spouses Part II
- 08/09/10 12:51 PM
In my last blog post I discussed VA home loan benefits for surviving spouses of veterans who died on active duty. Many people aren’t aware that surviving spouses may qualify for VA home loan benefits, but the Department of Veterans Affairs makes a distinction between surviving spouses of veterans who died on active duty and surviving spouses of those who died “as a result of military service”.These spouses aren’t denied a chance to apply for benefits, but the application requirements are different. For spouses who already receive Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC), there is no need to send any … (0 comments)

harris county: FHA Mortgage Insurance is Changing. A MUST READ
- 08/07/10 04:32 AM
As of August 5, 2010 Congress passed bill H.R. 5981, this bill effectively changes the upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) and monthly mortgage insurance for FHA loans. The good news is the upfront mortgage Insurance is being reduced to 1.00%. This is down from a high of 2.25%.

Now the bad news. The monthly mortgage insurance is going from .55% to .85%-.90%. This change is for 30year mortgages only. If the loan to value(LTV) is over 95%(max 96.5%) the … (0 comments)
