holly springs: If You Are Thinkin' $8000 and USDA Home Loans... 1 Word - "HURRY!" - 08/24/09 06:42 PM
We are seeing many customers purchasing in our area using the USDA Home Loan - Rural Development Program. It does not require that you purchase a farm, although it does restrict the purchase to more rural areas. In the Triangle, meaning Wake, Franklin, Durham, Orange, Johnston and Harnett Counties - we have several USDA Offices. Why would you care where the USDA Offices are? Because, unlike ANY OTHER LOAN PROGRAM, USDA Home Loans must be "re-underwritten" by the folks at the office assigned for your county. No switching to an office that might not be as busy... you go to the

holly springs: My Customer Was Interviewed by the WSJ! - 12/16/08 08:11 AM
There's an article regarding the USDA program in today's Wall Street Journal. It's a POSITIVE program, with low default rates, no money down, and no mortgage insurance! Rates (as I write this) are below 5.5%... and the USDA Mortgage Program is so popular, it's about to run out of money... I've contacted my Senator to ask him to read the article, which highlights our customer Erick Moore (who has a beautiful wife and one of the smartest 3 year olds on the planet!)! Erick learned about the program from a post I wrote on AR. I urge you to read the WSJ

holly springs: Change in Business Plans - Take out Fear of Financing (ASAP!) - 11/12/08 09:11 AM
This is one of those NO BRAINER wake up calls we all need. I just finished Accountability Coaching - and they reminded me that I need 12 to 20 Exposures every day... not to my real estate partners, but to the PUBLIC. Writing notes, sending personal emails - reminding folks what I do. Then I should have 3 presentations to Real Estate Partners A DAY... reminding them what I do, and helping them with their marketing! Well, if you're a real estate partner that I meet in the next few weeks - this is going to be part of what we

holly springs: USDA Home Loans in Holly Springs, NC - 11/11/08 04:29 PM
Here's a map from USDA showing where you can have a 100% loan, and where you can't use USDA financing. The shaded area in the top right portion of the map does NOT qualify... the rest of it definately does! This is great news for folks who are looking for homes with NO PMI, and rates that are very close to FHA! The maximum income in Wake County for a single person is $60,250 and the maximum income for a family of four is $86,100. These are fairly straightforward loans, they allow for gifts to cover closing costs, or the seller

holly springs: FHA Mortgage Program is AWFUL! - 10/20/08 03:11 PM
Use to be, I could get all the business I wanted just concentrating on my referral partners in Cary. With business such as it is, I now find myself heading further out to hook up with borrowers and referral partners. I've been listening to CNBC as the market works it's way up and down. Maybe you've listened to XM too and heard the fella' who says, "It's the Biggest No Brainer In the History of Earth!" The guy on XM now has a newer ad out about the Mortgage Bailout Bill. Click here and see if you think he might be
