Part 6: Signing...Signing...more Signing (we must be at the closing table). This is the last article in the First Time Homebuyer Guide Series. To bring you up to speed, we covered: Part 1 Finding the Agent Part 2 Finding the Lender Part 3 Finding the House Part 4 Making the Offer Part 5 Inspections Yipee! We found the Realtor, lender, and home. We had it inspected, the loan has been processed and we are at the closing table.

Part 4: I've found THE home - now what? (Making an offer) Okay...here is what we have covered so far: Part 1 - Finding a Buyer's AgentPart 2 - Finding the Right LenderPart 3 - Finding the Home Maybe you looked at several homes or you knew the first one you toured was the home for you.

PART 3: Looking....Looking...Looking (Finding The Home) So, in Part 1 you found a Buyer's Agent. In Part 2, you found your lender. You have your pre-approval from the lender and you know what price range to target. You are ready to find your first home. Lately, I have seen a recurring problem with some first-time homebuyers. I call it HGTVitis. That is the unrealistic expectation that their first home is going to be their "Dream Home" - like something you would see on HGTV. Don't let this happen to you. Here is a … (0 comments)
Part 2: How will we pay for it? (Finding the right lender and loan program for you) How do you know what price home to be look for? Think you can't buy a home because you don't have a pile of money saved for a downpayment? Should you use that huge national on-line mortgage lender who advertises a low interest rate? Selecting the right lender is one of the key pieces to the puzzle. If you have the wrong piece, the rest of the puzzle doesn't seem to fit … (4 comments)

loan info: FHA Streamlined 203(k) Program
- 03/31/09 02:50 AM
This is a great explanation of the FHA 203K Streamline loan (Rehab loan) - concise and easy to read. It was written by Joan Rusco, a Mortgage Banker in Minnesota. In addition to the Streamline version, there is also a FHA 203K loan for homes needing more extensive repairs. If you are using one of these loans to purchase a HUD home (in Northwest MS), your required downpayment is only $100. I'm not sure if Joan writes loans outside of her state of Minnesota, but I do know a great lender in Northwest MS that is experienced in FHA 203k Loans.

loan info: Buy a HUD home - $100 down payment
- 07/24/08 04:59 AM
In Mississippi, you can purchase a HUD home with only a $100 down payment. First, here is a brief (and very simplified) introduction to HUD homes. When someone purchases a home using an FHA loan, the loan is insured by FHA (which is a part of HUD). If that borrower defaults on the FHA loan, HUD becomes the new owner by foreclosure. HUD does not wish to be a property owner, so they place these homes back on the market for sale. In Mississippi, HUD and FHA have a program where you can purchase a HUD home using an FHA mortgage for only … (11 comments)
