home buying: Here's Your Second Chance...Great Interview!
- 06/05/10 02:05 PM
I was so happy to listen to this interview. Rates have been so low...it's ridiculous! What I really like is that it is very "matter-of-fact" and helpful. It talks about the amazing opportunity home owners and future home owners have to save thousand of dollars on the life of their loan and at the same time mentions how important it is to be cautious. Buying just because everyone else is buying could be a bad thing. If we could just see more of this...What do you think?

Effective February 15, 2010, loan officers will be required to order appraisals through the lender's list of vendors when originating FHA loans. Somewhat like HVCC (not totally), loan officers will not be able to choose the appraisers they want to work with and order the appraisal directly. It's not a bad idea to look at the HUD mortgagee letters to fully understand all the changes. The new guidelines for FHA appraisals include: 1. APPRAISER INDEPENDENCE: Prohibits commissioned based lender staff from ordering FHA appraisal and enforces appraisal independence by … (6 comments)
home buying: And the incentives keeep coming....Now appliances
- 02/02/10 01:43 AM
Fannie Mae wants to give you some money... I'm telling you...I wish I was a first time buyer all over again! Don't take me wrong...I love my home and we're very happy here. But the thought of having a seller pay for my appliances and some of my closing costs as an incentive for me to buy a house is very tempting. It certainly wasn't this way when I bought mine. Houses weren't this low in price and my rate was 8.5% even with outstanding Fico scores and 20% down payement. Homes are as affortable as ever, rates are super … (1 comments)

home buying: Update On HVCC - The Home Valuation Code Of Conduct
- 11/18/09 02:29 AM
An update on HVCC - Home Valuation Code of Conduct. Today is a big day for the real estate industry. Here's why... Today the National Association of Mortgage Brokers will be delivering 117,000 signed petitions from mortgage brokers all over the country to Attorney General Cuomo's Manhattan office. The petitions seek the killing of HVCC. The new regulation, which was put in place by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac along with New York State Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo, is not only driving appraisers out of business but also killing real estate sales transactions throughout the country which doesn't really help … (3 comments)
home buying: Chris has his own home now!!!
- 11/06/09 12:48 AM
Chris is a single father raising two teenage daughters. He had called me from a posting on Craigslist about helping first time home buyers and at that time had no idea if he could buy a home or not. He was wondering what he needed to do to be ready to buy including how much down payment was required. He had no high expectations. He also didn't know anything about credit or what kind of employment history is needed to qualify. I remember Chris saying "I know this is a long shot but I need to try for my daughters' sake." What Chris did know was that it … (1 comments)
home buying: Home Buyer Tax Credit To Be Extented

You must have an accepted offer on or before April 30th, 2010 Purchase transaction must be closed before June 30, 2010 Previous homeowners … (3 comments)
home buying: The Buyer's Choice Act Is In Place
- 10/26/09 03:10 AM
If you're a buyer, here is some good news for you and it could save you money! On Monday, October 12, 2009 Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 957, The Buyer's Choice Act and it's now in place. The Buyers Choice Act allows by law the buyers of foreclosed (bank owned) properties to choose the title and escrow company in their transaction. Until now, sellers have been requiring a buyer to purchase title and escrow services from a company chosen by the seller as a condition to receiving offers or selling the property. The banks and asset managers no longer can direct buyers to title … (5 comments)
home buying: When The Down Payment Is a Gift
- 10/21/09 05:48 AM
When getting ready to buy your first home, a down payment can get in the way of making things happen. One of the great features of a FHA loan is being able to have a family member or a close relative gift you the FULL 3.5% down payment required by the program. But to make sure your transaction goes smooth and there are no "surprises", it's very important to understand how gifted down payment works. First, make sure the person who will be gifting you the money is a family member or a close relative. Gifts from non-family members are generally not acceptable … (2 comments)

- 10/13/09 09:06 AM
Last week one of my clients got an accepted offer after making quite a few unsuccessful ones. If you're actively house hunting and making offers with no success, here's a story for you. Being a deligent agent, Debbie Baldes aways makes sure to check several times a day if new homes that fit her clients' specific needs came out in the market. And this time was no different. She noticed a new property in the market and scheduled an appointment that same day for our clients to see the inside. The house was a charm so she advised them to make … (1 comments)
home buying: Two Words For You...Don't Wait!
- 10/05/09 01:44 AM
Last week Mortgage Bonds finished at levels not seen since May 21 and home loan rates hit near historic lows. It’s hard to believe that some borrowers locked their interest rates under 5% on 30 year fixed rate mortgages. Stocks closed lower and the Dow market had its worse week since mid-June. As a result, money flowed to Bonds which helped home loan rates to stay low. With weaker than expected Job Report for September and the unemployment rate of 9.8%, the Labor Department wasn’t showing much love for US workers. We also saw a decline in the Average Workweek and … (0 comments)
home buying: No More Purchases...Mortgage Market Update
- 09/28/09 06:14 AM
In big news this week, the Fed said that there won't be any additional Mortgage Backed Securities purchase on top of what they've committed to buy. Instead, they'll slow down on the purchase and extend it through the first quarter of 2010 in order to provide a smooth transaction back to normal market conditions. It's important to remember that once the Fed stops purchasing Mortgage Backed Securities interest rates will start climbing. It also means that they'll be purchasing lower quantities since the remaining will be spread over a long period of time. Needless to say...we could see some home loan … (0 comments)
home buying: The 90 Day Flipping Rule
- 09/25/09 09:20 AM
It is no news that the current real estate market has attracted a large number of real estate investors. With all the great deals available and home loan interest rates extremely attractive it has become evident that some investors are taking advantage of the market by doing what is called “flipping”. Flipping is when an investor purchases a real estate property, makes some improvements and sells it for a profit. If you’ve been involved with flipping, you’re aware of the “90 Day Flipping Rule” but if you haven’t here’s the scoop on this very important rule that could change the course … (0 comments)
