killeen: Help for Ft. Hood area Home Owners - US DOD HAP Program - 05/05/11 05:23 PM
I've been getting a lot of questions lately about the HAP program.    There's a lot of talk floating around about it, and sellers are are wondering if they even qualify for any of the program benefits.
The Home Owners Assistance Program may be of help to certain Ft. Hood home owners who need to sell and need some financial assistance to do so, but figuring out of you qualify for help takes a bit of analysis.
One of the best features of HAP is that it is NOT a short sale, and it does not affect your VA loan eligibility nor your credit report!

Les and I had lunch today in Killeen at Old Chicago, and I was totally IMPRESSED with their pizza!   And not just the pizza!  The whole menu looks great, the food appears fresh made, pizza is LOADED with sauce with fresh tomatos and about a megaton of melted ooey gooey cheese.

killeen: USDA Loans - No Money Down to Buy Land? - 09/22/10 04:03 PM
First of all, let's be sure we all understand that the USDA loan product is NOT for buyers who want to purchase just land with no money down!
The USDA loan program is a -0- down program for buyers purchasing homes in approved rural areas.
There are over 685 pieces of land for sale in the Fort Hood area MLS listings, and buyers call every day asking how they can buy land with no money down.
The hard fact is, buying land is very different than purchasing a home.   Lenders look at land as less liquid, as harder to sell, and as much riskier than making a … (2 comments)

killeen: National News Forgets to Mention NO DOWN Payment VA Loans - 08/13/10 02:09 PM
Early this morning, around 5:30 AM, I was watching a national cable news network report on the state of the real estate industry recovery.   The main focus of this report was on the "fact that is is getting very difficult to buy a home" because:
"You MUST have a credit score of at least 720 to buy a home.You MUST have at least 20% down payment to buy a home."
OR YOU ARE NOT GETTING A HOME AT ALL!Now, this report and others like it, does apply to a certain group of home buyers.    But the situation is different at Ft. … (4 comments)

killeen: Cash Funds Majority of Fort Hood Foreclosure Sales for First Half of 2010 - 07/12/10 06:27 PM
Fort Hood foreclosure sales have been fairly brisk for the first half of 2010.    The closed sales tallied at 239 units, with 83 of those homes paid for in cash.
VA loans (81 units) financed the next largest segment of those foreclosed homes for sale, while conventional loans and FHA loanfinancing were just about tied for the remainder of the sales.

killeen: Tex Vet Loans offer Lower Interest Rates to Disabled Veterans - 07/06/10 03:48 PM
The Texas Veterans Land Board offers low interest home and land loans to qualifying veterans .  At this time, rates for disabled veterans with at least a 30% disability are at 3.88% for a 30 year fixed rate loan.  No downpayment is required, but a 1% participation fee is.   The seller may pay this participation fee for the buyer.

As a little bit of history, the Texas Veterans Land Board was created after WWII, to assist Texas veterans by providing low interest, long … (1 comments)

There are plenty of Killeen Fort Hood homes for sale at the moment, and I think I may have seen them all this summer!    
Last weekend's buyers and I saw 11 houses for sale in Killeen and Copperas Cove, and seems like all we saw was one home after another with NO landscaping, ankle high weeds, expanses of dead grass yard, and even more homes for sale with untreated wood privacy fencing that is suffering in the hot sun. (And these weren't cheap houses, either!) So who wants to own a house like that????   Any takers?  Not me, and not any buyers I've been working … (6 comments)

killeen: After a Long Hot Summer, Staging does the Trick on "Perfect Property" - 09/07/09 03:13 PM
All I can say is the sellers are astounded and so is their realtor!    Beautiful, quality built home, lovely landscaping, great location, a bargain price  and still not selling.    Sound a little familiar?  I wrote about this property back in APRIL, after about sixty days on the  Killeen Fort Hood Real Estate market.. little did we know that we'd burn through the summer (literally with over 67 days above 100 degrees) without a single offer.   We tried open houses, realtor open houses, computed price adjustments.  We looked at listings for similar homes in that subdivision that were priced $20,000 above ours, and of course, they were … (8 comments)
