For the New  Foreign National loan  Program.  

 How exciting for us Realtors! Not to mention our foreign clients. I just found out about this new product through Steve Walden at Mason McDuffie Mortgage (no relation to MMcD Real Estate)  510 520 3337.

 I have a client who has property in London and  bank accounts there but lives here. She can probably do just 30% down. But, in another  case, the parents live in Israel and want to get a loan there to buy their children a home here. Now, with this program it is a possiblity.  But, they would have to put 50% down. Still, this is going to freeup alot of people in our very international San Francisco Bay Area.

There is a difference when a Realtor gives you an Estimate of Value, and when an Appraiser gives you an appraisal. Some folks, quite innocently, pay up to $500. 00 (by the way, home evaluations from Realtors are free) for an appraisal on their home…
