Renting my Primary Home... and planning to buy a new one?

Area you planning to rent your Primary Residence and Buy a New home now?

Here are some important changes that you need to know:

fannie maeThe latest Fannie Mae Announcement that just came out will affect you or your client.   If this is your plan, ANYTIME SOON, you'd better speed up those plans ASAP.

The biggest changes are regarding borrowers who are converting their primary residence to an investment property

The current rule is that you would just have to get a copy of the rental agreement and we could use 75% of the rental agreement as income. 

The new rule coming into effect on 8/1/2008 is that the borrower must have at least 30% equity in the house, a copy of the rental agreement and proof that the security deposit has been deposited into the borrowers account in able to use the 75% income.

If the borrower can't meet all 3 requirements we have to count both payments against the borrower.  Page 6 of the Fannie Mae Announcement goes over the new changes in detail.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET A LOAN APPROVED BEFORE THESE GUIDELINES GO INTO EFFECT, CALL ME IMMEDIATELY AT (813) 235-9889.

All my best,

Katrina Madewell

Foreclosure Tour Bus Home with Inspector John Astl with Avail-A-Pro

Tampa Bay Foreclosure Tour Bus did a tour on Saturday July 20th 2008,  As we previewed each home on our tour, with a Home Inspector - John Astl with Avail-A-Pro Home Inspections, John Pointed out any major defects or things that would grab a home inspectors attention, and cause for further inspection.  

When John Previewed this 26 year old home in Tampa, he had plenty to say about things in the gargage alone.   From the Gargage of Autumn Oaks:

 

 

A full home inspection will take about 3 hours (depending on the house) and this was just from a 10 minute walk through in this home.    FULL HOME Inspections are recommended on every home you buy, and make sure that your Home Inspector is ASHI Certified Home Inspector, Like John Astl.

Home Buyer Seminar Workshop

dupree lakesLast night we held another Home Buyer Workshop for our active clients and interested parties.   We put these on about once a month for you, and we rotate the area that we have them in to include Tampa, Land O Lakes, Pinellas County North and South - so sometimes Clearwater / Tarpon Spings area.  

Last Night Dupree Lakes was kind enough to let us have the workshop at their clubhouse. Chris at Beazer Homes was very welcoming to all of our guests.  Many people in our class had questions on how Communities Such as Dupree Lakes and the common amenities worked.

When you live in a community with a lot of extras you can use the common areas such as the Clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, basketball, volley ball,  jogging trails etc.  These amenities would take the place of a local YMCA or other memership you might pay.

For example, if you wanted to use the Club House, you would simple reserve your time and date and they could even close that area off for a private function.  Many people like to have the use of these facilities for things like hosting birthday parties, get togethers, Graduation parties, baby showers, wedding receptions, and many other special occasions.   It's nice to know that you have a place large enough to host an event for your famly and friends.

Most of the time these facilites, have a refundable deposit to reserve the space, simply to insure that you will leave the place the same way you found it.

The fee to live in a community that offers all of these extras is less than you might think.    Dupree Lakes offers all of their 'extras' for a mere $148 per month.   Other nearby communits are as little as $35 per month for everything above and a bit more, some other local Golf communities that include a private golf coarse for HOA and maintenance fees up to $300 per month.
