first time home buyer: New FHA Rules Could Cost First Time Home Buyers Thousands for Waiting
- 01/22/10 08:35 AM
New FHA guidelines were announced earlier this week. Over 30% of all new loans are FHA loans. One of the biggest rules I feel that will impact First Time Home Buyers is the reduction of seller contributions to buyers closing costs. Until recently a seller could give up to 6% the maximum amount of costs a buyer would every experience in closing costs.
Under the new rules which will begin in late Spring or Early Summer is reducing that amount from 6% to 3%. Meaning that as a first time home buyer you would not only have to come up … (4 comments)

first time home buyer: Seminole County NSP down payment assistance program a bunch of hogwash
- 01/15/10 06:35 AM
Seminole County's down payment assistance programs have always been more difficult then the other counties and more then it needs to be. They choose to go by a different drum. Orange county reaches out to their lenders and Realtors to ask advice when putting together their programs and probably why they go so smooth and help so many families and while unlike Seminole county still have SHIP funds.
I have a client that I have been working with trying to get her all the information and in touch with the right people so we can ensure she can afford a … (4 comments)

first time home buyer: First Time Hone Buyers Put the Brakes on Expectations
- 12/13/09 12:57 PM
There is no doubt it's a buyers market. Inventory levels have never been better, coupled with the best interest rates in years and you have the perfect synergy effect for home buyers. However, buyers beware just because you have the perfect conditions does not entitle you to unrealistic expectations. While this market gives you the opportunity to buy a house, it does not mean you get the Tasmajal on a Clampett budget (pre hitting oil).While you might be able to afford more home, do you really need it? Will you use all those extra rooms? Do you have time to handle the landscaping … (3 comments)
