Don’t Get Caught in the Impact Zone. By Dan Polimino. - 02/28/12 05:57 AM
Over the Holidays, I was vacationing in Hawaii and if you have ever been to Hawaii in the winter, you know that you can expect some great swells. The North Shore of Oahu is famous for their 20-foot swells in the winter. I was on the Big Island where the waves are much smaller and that was a good thing because I am far from being a pro when it comes to boogie boarding or surfing. Nonetheless, I wanted to teach my son and daughter to boogie board so we headed out to tackle the waves. While they did great, I, … (2 comments)

Refinancing a condo could be easier than you think! - 02/23/12 03:09 AM
While obtaining a mortgage to purchase a condominium may present an interesting challenge because of the required project approval on the Home Owners Association (HOA), refinancing a condo could be easier than you would think.
 
If you have an existing government loan, either FHA or VA, project approval is not required for either a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) "streamline" refinance or VA Internal Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL). Both loans are designed to help people refinance to either a lower interest rate or change from an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) to a fixed rate mortgage. These loans do not … (0 comments)

It’s Worth Repeating. By Dan Polimino. - 02/21/12 05:32 AM
As you know, I have sold luxury homes for some time now and I frequently get calls from frustrated sellers who are having a tough time selling their property. I understand their frustration; it’s not been easy for the Realtors either over the last three to four years. Most people start off the conversation with the same question, which is, “Why can’t we even get an offer on our home?” The answer is one that I have written about many times before, but I think it is worth repeating. People like to make the real estate business really complicated, but the … (1 comments)

Purchasing a condo that is not FHA approved - 02/16/12 11:00 AM
In the Denver metro area a trend, that is further depressing home sales, is the increased standards required for a condominium project to have Federal Housing Administration (FHA) approval. Thankfully, these standards do not currently apply to townhomes. Astute real estate agents will verify the exact status of what appears to be a townhome, however some townhomes have a condo legal description which makes it fall under FHA rules for a condo. Not a good situation to see a buyer pay for an inspection and appraisal, then find out that the buyer is approved, but the property is not.

Look Who Is Selling. By Dan Polimino. - 02/14/12 08:31 AM
When I am out showing homes to buyers, you can start to get a feel of what’s going on in each home that you visit. The feeling you get more than anything else these days is one word…DIVORCE! 
As a seasoned real estate agent, I can pick this out from a mile away and so can most people. The first thing you notice is that the home only has about half of the furniture in it. It looks sparse like there should be more furniture in each room. In the closet, there is just one set of clothes and the kids’ … (1 comments)

Using a reverse mortgage for a divorce - 02/09/12 05:46 AM
An unfortunate trend that we are seeing is mature couples getting a divorce. Sometimes the remaining spouse takes out a new mortgage to payoff the departing spouse for their equity or agrees to make the monthly payments. The problem is that many mature people do not have the necessary income, etc. to obtain a new mortgage or the ability to live comfortably after they make the mortgage payment. When you consider selling in a down market, costs associated with selling and moving, etc, a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) could be a good option.
 
A HECM is usually utilized as … (1 comments)

They May Change the Game at the Last Minute. By Dan Polimino. - 02/07/12 02:52 AM
A house is listed with me and my business partner Gary Lohrman. It’s under contract; everything is moving along smoothly, we are past inspection, appraisal, and all the big contingencies. We are just a few days away from closing when the buyer’s agent calls to say that there is a problem. At the last minute, the lender has decided that 20% down is not going to be enough and they will not close the loan unless the buyer comes up with 30% down. Now mind you, these buyers have a pre-approval letter from the lender, have acted in good faith, and … (6 comments)

This time, the sequel is better than the original - 02/02/12 06:41 AM
Rarely is a movie sequel better than the original. I feared that HARP II (Home Affordable Refinance Program) would be another empty "cotton candy" promise from Washington with a lot of fluff and no substance. I am happy to see that I was wrong. Recent verified results are making me a lot more optimistic about this program to help homeowners and INVESTORS, who owe more than the property is worth and have been unable to refinance in the past.
 
Property owners may go to www.fanniemae.com to see if their property is eligible. At present, this program is only for … (1 comments)
