Who qualifies?</h2> <p class="MsoNormal">Banks and other private mortgage companies make a special type of home loan to veterans of the US Armed Services. A portion of each loan is guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (VA), and protects the lender's investment if the borrower defaults.</p> <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">The guaranteed amount of a VA loan is called an <strong>entitlement</strong>.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The current maximum entitlement for loans up to $144,000 is $36,000, with the exact figure determined by your loan amount.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The maximum entitlement for VA home loans over $144,000 is $60,000.</li> </ul> <p>An entitlement is not a cash payment to you or to the bank. It is the amount the VA promises will be paid to the lender if you default on your loan. Should that happen, the VA may pursue you to recover those funds.</p> <p><strong>Here is a list of who is eligible for a VA Loan</strong></p> <p>Wartime/Conflict Veterans who were not dishonorably discharged, and served at least 90 days.</p> <p>Peacetime Service<br /> Peacetime service of at least 181 days of continuous active duty with no dishonorable discharge.</p> <p><strong>Reserves &amp; National Guard</strong><br /> Members who have completed six years of service and have been honorably discharged (or are still serving) may be eligible for a VA loan.</p> <p><strong>Others</strong><br /> Other types of service that may make you eligible for a VA loan:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">Certain US citizens who served in the armed forces of a government allied with the United States during World War II.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Surviving spouses of eligible persons who died as the result of service or service-connected injuries. The surviving spouse must not have remarried.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The spouse of any member of the Armed Forces serving on active duty who has been listed as a prisoner of war or missing in action for more than 90 days. </li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal">Anyone with questions about eligibility should speak with their regional VA office.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Wisconsin phone contact is 608-266-1311</p> <p>Here is the Wisconsin website.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://dva.state.wi.us/" title="WI VA site" target="_blank"> http://dva.state.wi.us/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">From Scott Larson of Towne Square Realty in Monroe, Wisconsin</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Your Realtor of the Region&rdquo;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">E- Mail <a href="mailto:scott@greencountyhomeguide.com">scott@greencountyhomeguide.com</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">On the web at <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://greencountyhomeguide.com" target="_blank">greencountyhomeguide.com</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think you will be surprised how affordable the Dairyland is,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">so come to my land of cows and plows and visit for a day, but stay for a lifetime</p> <p class="MsoNormal">608-2124-9844 Direct</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Scott Larson SRES (Towne Square Realty) Tue, 15 Dec 2009 10:49:53 -0600 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1386015/what-is-series-va-loans-from-scott-larson http://activerain.com/blogsview/1385949/let-it-snow- <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/7/7/5/7/ar126089352875775.jpg" height="450" alt="" width="600" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As the Song goes " Let it snow, Let it snow, in Monroe."

Move-up buyers struggle to find down payment funds, too, especially if they haven't been in their current home long enough to see a significant increase in equity.</p> <p><strong>Private Mortgage Insurance</strong><br /> One home buying aid that nearly everyone can use is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This special insurance protects the lender if you default on your home loan. It makes it possible for you to purchase a home with as little as 3-5 % down.</p> <p><strong>Here's How PMI Works</strong></p> <ol type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal">You have a 5% down payment.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The lender wants to finance 80% or less of the home's value, since studies show that buyers who put less down are more likely to default.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">The lender secures a private mortgage insurance policy for you and closes on the loan. You pay for the PMI policy at closing or (most often) you pay a fee with each monthly loan payment.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">If you default, the lender receives the 15% you did not pay at closing.</li> </ol> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;">PMI payments can be significant, so if you can avoid paying private mortgage insurance, that's great.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;">&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">From Scott Larson of Towne Square Realty in Monroe, Wisconsin</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Your Realtor of the Region&rdquo;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">E- Mail <a href="mailto:scott@greencountyhomeguide.com">scott@greencountyhomeguide.com</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">On the web at <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://greencountyhomeguide.com" title="Scott's website" target="_blank">greencountyhomeguide.com</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think you will be surprised how affordable the Dairyland is,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">so come to my land of cows and plows and visit for a day, but stay for a lifetime</p> <p class="MsoNormal">608-2124-9844 Direct</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Scott Larson SRES (Towne Square Realty) Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:24:50 -0600 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1372574/-3-in-the-what-is-series-what-is-pmi-by-scott-larson http://activerain.com/blogsview/1362709/what-is-real-estate-transfer-tax- <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">What is &ldquo;Real Estate Transfer Tax?&rdquo;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Real estate transfer taxes (sometimes called deed recordation taxes) are imposed on the sale or transfer of real property located in the state. The tax is usually based on or measured by the consideration paid for or the fair market value of the real estate. The tax is commonly collected by the local official responsible for recording deeds to real estate, and it must be paid prior to the deed to the property being recorded. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">This fee is paid by the seller.<span>&nbsp; </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The Wisconsin rates are $.30 per $100 of value, Example a $100,000 Home would cost the seller $300. at closing</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">From Scott Larson of Towne Square Realty in Monroe, Wisconsin</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Your Realtor of the Region&rdquo;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">E- Mail <a href="mailto:scott@greencountyhomeguide.com">scott@greencountyhomeguide.com</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">On the web at <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://greencountyhomeguide.com" title="Scott's website" target="_blank">greencountyhomeguide.com</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think you will be surprised how affordable the Dairyland is,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">so come to my land of cows and plows and visit for a day, but stay for a lifetime</p> <p class="MsoNormal">608-2124-9844 Direct</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Scott Larson SRES (Towne Square Realty) Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:45:40 -0600 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1362709/what-is-real-estate-transfer-tax- http://activerain.com/blogsview/1361148/what-is-series-from-scott-larson-title-insurance- <p class="text"><strong>What is Title Insurance?</strong></p> <p class="text">&nbsp;</p> <p class="text"><strong>Owning Your Property</strong> free and clear involves more than having a deed in hand. A deed does not cancel certain "rights" and "claims" other people may have to your property - rights whose existence you never suspected; claims that may go back in time months or decades to the earliest owners of your newly acquired property.</p> <p class="text"><strong>Protecting Your Rights</strong></p> <p class="text">"What Protection," you may ask, "do I have against such claims? How can I be sure my property is really mine?" The answer to both of those questions is real estate ownership insurance, commonly known as title insurance.</p> <p class="text"><strong>Title Insurance</strong></p> <p class="text"><strong>Title Insurance</strong> is an insured statement of the condition of your "title" or ownership rights to a certain piece of property. A title insurance policy describes your property in detail and states what limitations, if any, there are to your ownership. (For liens or encumbrances. Or you may not own mineral rights. Or easements may have been granted to utility companies or adjacent property owners.)</p> <p class="text">Most importantly, a title insurance policy guarantees that the property you are purchasing is free of undisclosed liens, confusion in the rights of ownership and other clouds on the title. In short, it guarantees that you own the property for which you bargained.</p> <p class="text"><strong>Before A Policy</strong> is issued, the title company or one of its agents conducts a search of public records, maps and documents. The records trace back to colonial estates, pioneer homesteads or Spanish land grants and forward to the current owner. Only after collecting, examining and interpreting appropriate records is a policy issued insuring the condition of title.</p> <p class="text"><strong>Besides Describing</strong> your property and spelling out any recorded limitations on your ownership, a title insurance policy sets forth in clear terms what the title company will do in the event that a flaw in the title is discovered or your rights of ownership are challenged.</p> <p class="text">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">From Scott Larson of Towne Square Realty in Monroe, Wisconsin</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Your Realtor of the Region&rdquo;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">E- Mail <a href="mailto:scott@greencountyhomeguide.com">scott@greencountyhomeguide.com</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">On the web at <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://greencountyhomeguide.com" title="Scott's Website" target="_blank">greencountyhomeguide.com</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think you will be surprised how affordable the Dairyland is,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">so come to my land of cows and plows and visit for a day, but stay for a lifetime</p> <p class="MsoNormal">608-2124-9844 Direct</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Scott Larson SRES (Towne Square Realty) Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:26:29 -0600 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1361148/what-is-series-from-scott-larson-title-insurance- http://activerain.com/blogsview/1347486/open-house-tomorrow-12-2pm-i-scheduled-late-for-the-west-coast-clients <div style="color: #333333;"><table cellspacing="0" border="0" height="100%" cellpadding="10" width="100%"> <tr> <td><table cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="0" width="740"> <tr> <td></td> <td height="20"> <div style="background-color: #333333;

If you're not comfortable making decorating decisions and you think a client needs serious help, suggest for them to hire a professional decorator or stagger that understands the ins and outs of staging a home. Not only does this keep you from having to criticize your client's home, it brings fresh eyes and ideas into play. Plus, suggestions from a professional decorator may be easier for homeowners to swallow.

One home that I viewed had more Captain Morgan bottles than the local liquor store. Get your clients to pack up the treasures and books on shelves and tabletops.&nbsp; It may be a good idea to rent a storage garage to move out the mementos. Also make sure every photo is put away, buyers can't see themselves living where the current owners family pictures are everywhere and buyers tend to go down memory lane when they see sellers photos. The finished product is a home that looks more open and spacious, without the strong stamp of the present owner's life</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">From Scott Larson of Towne Square Realty in Monroe, Wisconsin</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Your Realtor of the Region&rdquo;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">E- Mail <a href="mailto:scott@greencountyhomeguide.com">scott@greencountyhomeguide.com</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">On the web at <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://greencountyhomeguide.com" title="Scott's website" target="_blank">greencountyhomeguide.com</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think you will be surprised how affordable the Dairyland is,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">so come to my land of cows and plows and visit for a day, but stay for a lifetime</p> <p class="MsoNormal">608-2124-9844 Direct</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Scott Larson SRES (Towne Square Realty) Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:59:35 -0500 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1296369/-1-of-5-staging-tips-for-sellers-from-scott-larson
