cash back on a new home: Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 is in effect - 08/01/08 08:04 PM
Looks like the bill passed as of July 30th.  The act  authorizes the Federal Housing Administration to guarantee up to $300 billion in new 30-year fixed rate mortgages for subprime borrowers if lenders write-down principal loan balances to 90 percent of current appraisal value.
This act is intended to gain back confidence in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by solidifying and injecting money into the two large U.S. suppliers of mortgage funding. That means states will be authorized to refinance subprime loans using mortgage revenue bonds.
This is some pretty interesting new and I was hope to see how everyone out there feels about … (2 comments)

cash back on a new home: Why shoud I use an energy saving light bulb - 06/21/08 10:24 AM
An energy saving light bulb that uses 16 watts of energy replaces an standard bulb utilizing 60 watts of energy. This eliminates the emission of 1300 pounds of carbon dioxide and 26 pounds of sulfur dioxide from a coal fired plant-producing electricity. Usaually they say to just change one bulb. 
But, what if you changed them all? If you have about 30 light bulbs in your house, replacing them with energy efficient light bulbs will save you trips to the store to replace burned out lights, and about $900 over the life of the light bulbs. Right now almost every place … (11 comments)

cash back on a new home: Red Light Cameras are now activated in Austin - 06/21/08 10:10 AM
So you live in Austin or maybe not. 
Do you have red light cameras and what do you think of them?
I think they are both good and bad. 
1.)  Good that they catch people speeding through a red light.
2.)  Bad because now people know they are there and slam on there brakes, thus cause more accidents.
Go to www.cityofaustin.org to find out more.
 
Tell me what you think of red light cameras.

cash back on a new home: How to save money when getting a mortgage - 03/19/08 08:22 AM
How to save money when getting a mortgage
First Mortgage Loans
Although your monthly payment may be higher, you can save tens of thousands of dollars in interest charges by shopping for the shortest-term mortgage you can afford. On a $100,000 fixed-rate loan at 7% annual percentage rate (APR), for example, you will pay over $75,000 less in interest on a 15-year mortgage than on a 30-year mortgage. You can save thousands of dollars in interest charges by shopping for the lowest-rate mortgage with the fewest points. On a 15-year $100,000 fixed-rate mortgage, just lowering the APR from 7% to 6.5% can save … (4 comments)

cash back on a new home: Why you shouldn't buy a new car if you are looking to buy a home - 03/01/08 02:48 PM
Many people have come to me to buy a new home. In the beginning I lost a deal, because they bought a new car.  So I tell all my buyers to not buy a new car when looking for a home. 
When you get a raise or accumulate some money most people like to spend it.  Some decide to buy a home. some a car then there are the people who like to buy both.  They have a desire to spend money.
Buying a home is sometimes a long and laborious ordeal, but an adventurous one at that.  So in saying this, don't make it harder on yourself.
