Save My Home AZ

Justin Rollins (West USA) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 15:40:00 -0800

Save My Home AZ will provide assistance of up to $50,000 to qualified homeowners. In order to be eligible, there are certain requirements that one must meet. These include, but are not limited to: hardship, loan balance, property type, income & more. The primary goal of this program is to do permanent principal reductions. This is huge for the State of Arizona since the vast majority of home owners are underwater in their current loans.

Unfortunately, this program has had little success. The problem being that none of the lending institutions want to agree to it; which makes it nearly impossible to implement. Currently the money allotted for this program is being redirected. The state is using it to help unemployed mortgage holders stay current. They will pay up to $2,000 toward a mortgage for qualifying home owners.

If you'd like more information on this program please feel free to email me at justin@justinrollins.com or call 602.714.1012

New FHA Loan Limits

Justin Rollins (West USA) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 09:46:23 -0800

I just wanted to give a quick update on the new FHA loan limits. Effective February 25,2009 the Maricopa County, AZ FHA loan limits have increased from $271,050 to $346,250. This will allow many homebuyers to purchase the home that meets their needs and they can still benefit from an FHA type loan.

Remember an FHA loan only requires a 3.5% down payment and this can be gifted from a family member. Just on a side note, the State of Arizona requires that an LSR be submitted with an offer. This is basically a document from a lender stating the amount of loan that you have been approved for. If you need help getting this "preapproval certificate," let us know. We can refer you to a great lender. It's always a great idea to get this certificate prior to starting your search, so you know how much home you can afford. It will save you a lot of time in the long run.

Thanks for reading my blog. Please call me at 602.714.1012 with any questions.

Did You Know You Can Still Buy A Home For Zero Down???

Justin Rollins (West USA) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 13:57:27 -0800

Most people are under the assumption that in today's market they will need a down payment to purchase a new homes. Several months ago they did away with the Down Payment Assistance Programs such as AmeriDream & Nehemiah. In response to the elimination of these programs, the lender we partner with has been diligently working on an alternative solution. Well our lender has found a solution!!

"What does this mean for you?" This means that once again you're able to purchase a home with no money out of pocket. If this is a solution you're interested in please contact me at 602-714-1012 and I'll put you in touch with a lender that can help. Thanks for visiting my blog!!

Changes To 1st Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

Justin Rollins (West USA) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 10:42:16 -0800

The initial tax credit created in July 2008 has been modified a bit. These changes will affect homes purchased on or after January 2009 and before December 1, 2008.

1) The maximum tax credit amount has increased from $7,500 to $8,000.

2) Purchasers who use bond financing can now utilize the credit.

3) Previously up to $500 dollars had to be repayed for 15 year, now there is no repayment.

4) If home is sold within 3 years, entire amount is captured in sale. Previously it was within 15 years.

These are the changes that apply to the tax credit available to first time home buyers. If you have any questions about how this tax credit works, please don't hesitate to call or email me. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Why Does Choosing A Title Company Matter?

Justin Rollins (West USA) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:36:42 -0800

Those of you who have purchased a home or are in the process of buying a home may think to yourself, "What is the importance of a title company?" The answer would be, it's EXTREMELY important; especially in today's economy.

In recent months there have been many smaller, less stable title companies that have closed their doors. When this happens, if you are in the process of closing a home and have deposited earnest money with a title compan; your money could be held up for months. That is if you are lucky enough to get it back at all. For people who have been saving up for months or even years to purchase a home, this is a HUGE & DEVASTING deal.

Unfortunately this happens, but can be avoided by using a good solid Title agency. Let's face it... We all want to protect our money!! That's why we always use Fidelity National Title. They are a large, stable, well managed company ...not only that, they always provide us with a smooth transaction..

Here are a few more reasons why we choose Fidelity National Title:

•· Nation's largest title insurance and diversified real estate related services company

•· Member of the Fortune 500 & Forbes 500

•· Best Managed Companies in America 2004- Forbes Magazine
