Tornado Preparedness

Dagmar Maticic (Keller Williams Realty) — Wed, 11 May 2011 08:07:32 -0700

In light of the recent tornados in Jacksonville I thought it may be helpful to write a blog about tornado preparedness as I personally had no clue as to what to do!!!

Before a tornado be sure to listen to the weather radio or TV channell. Signs of an approaching tornado are a dark, often greenish sky, large hail, a large, dark and low-laying cloud (especially if rotating) and a loud roar, similar to a freight train.

If you see those make sure to seek shelter immediately. Since we are at a location that does not have cellars, the best place is an all-indoors room such as a closet or bathroom. Make sure you have your cell phone on you (and fully charged), a falshlight, some water and last but not least a blanket and pillow. Those will help protect your head and body from falling glass or other debris. Make sure to either wear sneakers or have them in your shelter location with you. If the tornado strikes you don't want to walk barefoot through the debris. I also made sure to keep my most important items on me such as wallet with drivers license, debit card, credit card, etc.

If you are in a bathroom, curl up on the floor between the toilet and wall. In case the wall falls, the toilet will break it's fall and give you some space.

Jacksonville short sales

Dagmar Maticic (Keller Williams Realty) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:13:26 -0700

As we are seeing more Jacksonville Short sales I find it important to point out what the benefits are when short selling your house instead of letting it foreclose.

Of course every situation is different and it depends on the reason of your foreclosure or short sale, but as a general rule, a short sale is better than a foreclosure. For starters, latter will stay on your credit report forever, while a short sale will fall off within 5-7 years.
Furthermore, with a Jacksonville short sale you are still in control of what is happening. In a foreclosure situation the bank will repossess your home and evict you.

Another important fact to remember if you find yourself between a rock and a hard place is that, when short selling, your credit score will go down 150 points at the most; when you get foreclosed on it may go down 200 to 300 points! And it will take much longer to be able to buy again. When short selling the bank may forgive your debt and you may be able to buy again very soon, definitely after about 2 years.

Of course there are other pros as well as implications to either, but in general, you are in control, you may sleep better at night, and your home sale will be handled just like any other sale, with a Realtor representing you.

You have other options! Don't let your home foreclose, call me today about a short sale in Jacksonville or Onslow County! Also visit my premier Jacksonville real estate website to search for foreclosed homes.

Buying Camp Lejeune NC homes

Dagmar Maticic (Keller Williams Realty) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 09:16:53 -0700

When buying a Camp Lejeune NC home (or any other home) you will need certain documents to apply for your loan. Your lender will provide you with a list of what you will need, but I find it nice to have a little head start and come prepared.

So here is what you will need when buying a Camp Lejeune NC home:

You will always need a current ID card, if you are buying with a VA loan you will need to produce a proof of service, usually your military ID. You will also need to be able to re-enlist when buying a Camp Lejeune NC home if your contract is up in less than 12 months, so be prepared to get a statement from someone in charge!

To buy a Camp Lejeune NC home you will also need proof of income, i.e. last 3 months of paystubs (often your LES in our area). Don't forget any other income you may have such as child support, trust funds, interest, etc.

In addition, when you buy a Camp Lejeune NC home you will need 2 to 3 months of bank statements of ALL of yoru bank accounts and your W2s (and/or tax returns) from the past 2-3 years. Of course, if you are self employed or a permanent resident (but not a citizen) it all gets a little more complicated when you want to buy a Camp Lejeune NC home!

Next, if you are divorced you will need to produce copies of the divorce decree (especially if you are selling a home, but you may also need it if you are buying) and you may also need a quit claim deed if you are planning to purchase the home as separate property. By state of NC law, your spouse has marital interest in your property, no matter if they are on the loan or not! So keep that in mind when buying a Camp Lejeune NC home, especially if you are single and get married later, or if you are not yet divorced but only separated!

Lastly, you will need gift letters for any big sums of money you've received (maybe a Christmas gift from your grandma) stating that you will not have to pay that money back.

So there you have it - these are the most important documents you will have to provide to your lender when buying a Camp Lejeune NC home. Of course they may require some others, but essentially, if you have these ready, you'll be in good shape!

Camp Lejeune, The cost of rent vs buyin

Dagmar Maticic (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 14:07:40 -0700

I noted in my earlier post that there are many benefits to buying around Camp Lejeune instead of renting. Today I would like to discuss the actual monetary amounts needed to buy or rent a little bit more in depth.

Most people underestimate the cost renting in the Camp Lejeune area. Renters around Camp Lejeune will need an application fee ($25-$50), when approved a security deposit (same $ as rent) and their first month's rent. If they have pets they will be charged a non-refundable pet fee PER pet ($150-$200), and certain dog breeds are not allowed at all; the same goes for puppies or kittens.

Apart from the inconvenience of finding a place around Camp Lejeune that will allow your type of pet, having pets as a renter is very costly. Looking at a total, a renter having 1 pet and getting a place for $800/month will need up to $1800 upfront simply to get into a place. Total cost of renting around Camp Lejeune: $1800

Keep in mind, if you are approved for a rental property in the Camp Lejeune area, chances are VERY HIGH you will also qualify for a loan!

In our current market, sellers will typically pay part, if not all, of the buyer's closing costs. Quite often, buyers will get money back at closing! Another advantage is that mortgage payments are made in arrears (meaning at the end of the month) versus rental payments being due at the beginning.

So let's look at the cost of buying around Camp Lejeune:
Typically you would put $500 down as a good faith gesture for the seller. This money will be refunded to you or credited towards your closing costs at closing. The seller will likely pay most or all of your closing costs. (you may even get a washer and dryer on top of all your kitchen appliances and closing costs - call for details!). I always recommend to get a home inspection and a septic inspection (both around $150); both may be rolled into the closing costs and paid by the seller.

A worst case scenario would be paying out of pocket for the home and septic inspection, $300, and still getting $500 back at closing. Total cost of buying around Camp Lejeune: $300
Best case scenario: $500 upfront that you will get back in the end.

Total cost of buying around Camp Lejeune: $0
(plus the first month free since you pay your mortgage at the end of the month).

To read more on the total cost of buying visit my premier real estate website for Camp Lejeune and surrounding areas!

To see a different rental scenario check out this rent vs buy calculator!

So there is one of the most important benefits of buying vs renting in the Camp Lejeune area - SAVING MONEY! And don't forget the tax deductible expenses you have as a homeowner versus being a renter!

Camp Lejeune, Rent or Buy?

Dagmar Maticic (Keller Williams Realty) — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 11:53:57 -0700

Like I mentioned in my previous blog, the area around Camp Lejeune offers plenty of townhomes, large and small, expensive and more affordable.

Today I would like to elaborate a little more on the cost of buying versus renting, especially when you look at a low maintenance townhome or smaller single family home in the Camp Lejeune area.

At current low interest rates, it is safe to say that the same monthly payment will allow you to buy at least the same size house, most likely larger, than a rental property would be around Camp Lejeune.

Of course the benefits of buying versus renting around Camp Lejeune are plentiful, from being your own boss, starting your financial independence, having any type of pet you want, to tax breaks and lastly - APPRECIATION and EQUITY!

Appreciation is your home growing in value. You may have bought your Camp Lejeune home for $100,000 but today it may be worth $110,000. It has appreciated $10,000 in value. That is why real estate is such a great investment, especially in the Camp Lejeune area!

Equity is the difference of what you owe on your home versus what it is worth. If you bought your home for $100,000 and paid it down to $90,000, then sold it for $130,000, you had $40,000 equity. You can also take out that equity in the form of a 2^nd loan.

But this is only one of the many benefits of owning a home around Camp Lejeune! What many people don't realize is that the actual cost of getting into a rental property in the Camp Lejeune area is much higher than the cost of buying a home! So stop throwing away your money! If you qualify to rent in the Camp Lejeune area, you most likely qualify to buy!!!

Stay tuned to get a breakdown of the actual costs! Until then, check out this great calculator to see the real cost of renting versus buying!

About 1/4 of those townhomes are brand new; these usually sell in the mid to high $110,000s.

Buying a brand new Camp Lejeune NC townhome may be a good decision since, typically, the seller/builder will pay most or all of your closing costs, and lately is not only providing your kitchen appliances but also a washer & dryer! You may easily pay $2000 to get into a rental property, when all it takes is $500 to buy a brand new townhome, and chances are - your monthly payment will be the same!

But even existing Camp Lejeune NC townhomes are very competitive and often great deals that help keep your payment low, your commute doable and your upkeep time & cost to a minimum!

Dagmar Maticic (Keller Williams Realty) — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 11:11:44 -0700

Hunters Creek NC is not only strategically located between Camp Lejeune gates, but it is also a perfect neighborhood for investment properties!

Jacksonville NC has lots of renters due to the frequent moving and deployments of Marines. Getting an investment property anywhere in Jacksonville NC is a good idea, but especially in Hunters Creek NC. Duplexes in Hunters Creek NC generally have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in the past 12 months they sold from $78,000 up to $92,000. With current low interest rates, this would bring a prospective mortgage payment (5% interest rate) to less than $600/month, including low county taxes and insurance. Monthly rental payments in Hunters Creek NC in the last year have ranged from $675 all the way to $950.

These duplexes in Hunters Creek NC have been built in the late 1980ies and early 1990ies, and due to the location and great prices, they have always been selling and renting fast.

Looking at an absorption rate study for Hunters Creek NC shows that Onslow County has a current inventory of homes of 6 to 7 months. Hunters Creek NC however, only has enough inventory for 2 to 3 months!

Another benefit of investing in a property in Hunters Creek NC is knowing that you will always be able to sell your investment if needed. Average time on the market of duplexes in Hunters Creek NC in the past year has only been 43 days! And sales price to listing price ratio has been 99%!

Looking at statistics of previous home sales in Hunters Creek NC the return on investment is phenomenal! Just this October, I sold a duplex for more than the asking price, and the ROI for the sellers was 32% after only 4 years of owning it! Not to mention that their monthly payment was about $600 while they could have rented it for about $850. Now is the time! Interest rates are low and duplexes in Hunters Creek NC are HOT!

Duplexes are especially popular when it comes to investment properties and rental homes. With current low interest rates and low county taxes, a $80,000 duplex could be bought for a lower monthly payment than the monthly rent would be!
