My peers and I in the real estate industry have been saying for months that “now IS the time to buy!” before the market picks up this year, which we were sure it would. Well folks, here it is! We have the statistics, we have the hard evidence: the market is no longer in the slump we’ve been in since 2007! Here in this blog are some of the raw statistics on why we think this is and why NOW, more than ever, is the time to buy before time runs … (0 comments)
Costco… We all know it and love it even though it’s where many of us spend too much money. But how can you resist the steals?! It’s nearly impossible. Costco has been our long time supplier of great deals on T.V.’s, prescription eyeglasses, photos, food, clothing, jewelry.. the list goes on forever. I didn’t think it would be possible, but Costco is the newest supplier of another commodity; Mortgage? Yes, Mortgage. CNNMoney put out a very informative article on the issue upon which this blog is based. The link for the … (5 comments)

I can even prove it to you.. the link below will lead you to a site with a number of different calculators.

Realtors take note... I recently saw a Wall Street Journal article Explaining the Methods of Hard-Money Lenders (written July 21, 2011). It begins with "As banks continue tightening their purse strings..." which is the theme of the article. The article mentioned the increased use of Hard Money due to the "...tight lending these days..." of institutional lenders. It then goes on to explain the fact that the loans are concerned with "asset valuations and loan to value-ratios."…."There's no red tape."…. "Because there is little bureaucracy when compared with big banks, deals … (2 comments)
loans: Buying Versus Renting – Buying Now Wins
- 03/23/12 04:54 AM
Buying versus renting is a debate for many and earlier on renting was a better bet when it came to determining monthly costs, care and cost of family and especially one’s credit score. However, now buying is winning in majority of the debates. It’s a good season for home re-sales due to the low housing prices though there is an increase (even if ever so slightly) in the home values which is good for appreciation. See the detailed article below “Ain’t No Lie, It’s Cheaper to Buy”. It includes broken down statistics, graph and city/state … (0 comments)
One of the plagues of today’s market continues to be foreclosures. It’s a word that makes many home owners shudder and a feeling of malcontent while to others it’s a “blessing” for they can possibly afford to buy this home for their family. I read an article this morning in Realty Mag with some [encouraging ] news about foreclosures and their percentages falling. First, however, we need to understand why foreclosures are more likely than not worse for the economy than not. It doesn’t just affect … (5 comments)
There are several types of loans you can use to purchase or refinance. This applies whether you are buying a home to live in, a home to rent out, or a commercial building. They include the standard 30 year fixed rate mortgage, the government FHA/VA loans, a commercial property SBA loan, or a Private Money loan. Private Money is borrowed from private individuals. I bet you’veborrowed money from a relative. That was a Private Money loan, likely unsecured. It wasn’t from the bank or some other institution. Most private money lenders/investors lend money through … (0 comments)
I’d been racking my brain trying to come up with my Lenders Viewpoint article for this month. I didn’t want to write another article about why it’s the absolute best time in years to buy a home because prices are at rock bottom. I didn’t want to write about the fact that rates are lowest ever. For sure I did not want to write about the mortgage interest deductions for a home or the fact that in many areas you can now own a home for cheaper than you can rent one. Another subject I … (0 comments)
