I'm SUArta Back! The FHA Spot Condo Approval
Mortgage lenders that see a fair amount of FHA loans have, for the last few years, lamented the loss of the condominium "spot" approval. This erstwhile shortcut would allow a single unit of a condo project to be eligible for an FHA loan even where the entire project might otherwise not pass muster. And for FHA, it's been widely recognized since the sunsetting of the spot approval that buyers whose search requires an FHA loan and a price range that might only include condos, had real challenges ahead. Specifically, their target inventory would need … (5 comments)

Not Able to Refinance? Recast Your Loan in a New Light
Over the last decade there have been many opportunities for homeowners to refinance their mortgages to lower rates and, by far, that is the "go to" solution when a borrower is looking to lower his or her payments. This makes perfect sense. Let's say the homeowner has mortgage at 4.000% and can get a 3.750%, no-cost refinance. Lower rate, lower payments, no closing costs added to the balance...win/win/win.
But what about instances where current rates may not be lower or there may not be as clear a case for refinancing? How … (13 comments)

Breaking Up (Is Subject to Guidelines and Restrictions)
When we look at our refinance business, not a small percentage of it is driven by the scenarios where one spouse buys out the equity of the other, as stipulated in a divorce decree. Sometimes when we are presented with a divorce buyout refinance we have to educate all the parties to the transaction on how to navigate the lending guidelines that govern these situations and, as you might expect, divorce buyouts are often done in a stressful environment. So for those who may be looking to get an overview and understanding of the process, … (25 comments)

How Will 2014 Go Down in YOUR Books?
When we come to the end of any calendar year, isn't it amazing to look back over the last 12 months and realize just how much has transpired? Sometimes, events that occurred in, say, March, feel like they happened a lifetime ago. Could it really be that it was this year? Yes, time flies.
And, of course, the resolution season is upon us. What changes might we affect in 2015 by way of reinvigorated will? A blank page opens before us each January 1, but will we have the resolve to write a new … (4 comments)

The New & Improved Tips for Sabotaging Your Open House
I know you didn't think it was possible, but here is a an update to a list I began some time ago. As a mortgage professional, I am fortunate to have somewhat of an outsider's perspective on our local broker tour --- I am not a real estate agent myself and as a result, certainly there are local agents who don't know me. This also implies that they don't know that I'm not a Realtor. I could very well be out on tour on behalf of the IDEAL buyer for their listing. Here are some tried … (3 comments)
