home: Why do we buy new cars and homes? - 09/09/10 05:15 AM
The way we perceive buying a home has changed over the last couple years.  Most of us no longer think of buying a home as a future source of equity to be tapped whenever we need some cash.  Most of us no longer look at a home purchase as an automatic wealth accumulation vehicle.  Today we buy a home because we like it and want to improve our lives, both physically and emotionally.  We want to step up our lifestyle.
When you buy a new car, you are sometimes buying because the old one doesn't suit your needs.  Maybe you need … (5 comments)

home: No Down Payment Loans Available Soon in Rice County - 07/29/10 04:30 AM
It will soon be possible for home buyers to again get zero down financing with the help of the USDA. H.R. 4899 will be signed into law by the President soon, and funding will again be available for rural development loans.

Contact me for additional assistance and information. Call 612-916-3033.

home: Buyers benefit from the expired tax credit - 05/17/10 09:32 AM
In the weeks prior to the April 30 tax credit deadline, competition among buyers to find that perfect home was often intense.  Sellers enjoyed a steady stream of motivated buyers, all anxious to find a home to buy before the clock ran out.  Well, the race is over, and the winners may be the folks who didn't manage to find a home before April 30.  Maybe they were outbid, maybe they missed getting an offer in before another was accepted.  How terribly unfortunate for them, maybe.
Now that the frenzy has subsided, there are still plenty of homes on the market … (2 comments)

home: Last chance to get a government grant for growing up - 04/13/10 07:55 AM
Are you still living in Mommy and Daddy's house?  Or, maybe you're pretending to be a grown-up and renting a place from a landlord who thinks you're still a toddler.  Maybe you like being told what to do, when to do it, and how to live.  Seems a little weird to me, but I guess it's your choice.
Here's a reminder to you folks who are old enough to vote and old enough to take care of yourselves.  If you're capable of making your own decisions, you have just a couple weeks left to collect a government grant if you can … (0 comments)
