 USDA RD came out today with the new upfront guarantee fee and annual fee structure that will be effective for Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP) loans in fiscal year of 2016.  Their new fiscal year for 2016 begins October 1, 2015 and the new upfront guarantee fee will change from 2 percent of the loan amount to 2.75 percent of the loan amount.  The annual fee (or monthly PMI) of .50% will remain unchanged.   The upfront guarantee fee is a one-time fee that is charged by all the popular government mortgage programs like USDA, FHA and VA.

How to Protect Your Spouse Even if They're Under 62 There were many reasons why non-borrowing spouses were removed from title and were not included on the loan when their spouses first obtained a reverse mortgage.  Over the years, there have been many reasons as to why a borrower has removed their spouse from title: whether it be because they were underage at the time the reverse mortgage loan was originated or because they were considerably younger than their spouse, thus making the amount of funds received from the program lower than expected, the non-borrowing has always been a point of concern for many in the industry. Sometimes, to fully pay off the existing mortgage on the subject property, a borrower had no choice but to leave their spouse off the loan or not be able to pay off t...

Last Sunday night the altar was filled with gifts for children. Sunday night, December 7th was not just the anniversary of D Day, it was also the annual Toyland concert at First Baptist Church in Fernandina Beach.   Buddy Mullins, formerly of The Gaithers sang beautifullly but the music didn't move me nearly as much as the overwhelming amount of gifts and toys that covered the altar.    Representatives from the Marine Corp took the toys so they could be given out to needy children the Saturday prior to Christmas.

I just sold my freezer at church!     As some of you know, I have my house at 567 Patriots Way in Fernandina Beach Florida on the market.  I'm moving back to Williamsburg Virginia since my daughter recently got married and is expecting!    One of my goals before moving is to get rid of some of my large heavy items to save on moving costs.    This morning after church I ran into friends who are moving and I told them I was also moving.  Somehow the subject came up that I want to sell my freezer and within minutes I had a check in my hand and a found another friend from church who is willing to pick it up and deliver it to my friends house on Monday before their moving van comes!   If you know anyone who's looking for a great house in the Isle de Mai subdivision, let me know!

Today I experienced one of the nicest things about living in a small town.     My key got stuck in the lock this weekend and my son had to pull it out with pliers.   That key was bent and I only had one key left so today I called John Crow, locksmith and owner of Amelia Lock and Key.  He was here within an hour.  He told me that the master pings had slipped down into the lock.  He repaired it within minutes, made me two additional keys and didn't charge me.  He gets a lot of business from REALTORS, but he really didn't have to do it for free.     If you are in the Fernandina Beach or Yulee, Florida area and need a locksmith, contact John Crow at Amelia Lock and Key!  at 904-261-5625

Speechless Sunday: October sky in Fernandina Beach, Florida   It has finally stopped raining and there is a cool crispness in the air.                                      Here in northeast Florida, we don't see the color changes like so many areas of the country do.  Our beautiful bright blue skies are evidence that autumn is here:

The pirate sign points the way:   This sign is on Atlantic Avenue in Fernandina Beach Florida.  It points the way to the public high school and middle school.  The high school athletic team is the pirates. The public schools here in Fernandina Beach have a good reputation; students score well on aptitude tests and many give back to the community as professionals once they finish college or trade school.

Monday memories: my grandson holding a fish he caught last summer.   Last August my two grandsons spent a week with me.      In my neighborhood, Isle de Mai, there are two ponds beside the entrance.    This is a picture of my then nine year old grandson holding up a large bream that he caught in the lake.   I love looking back on happy memories and photos capture them so well.

I said, "Tomorrow's my birthday", and he said, "I'm not coming." I am a leader in the two year old class in our AWANA program at my church, First Baptist Church in Fernandina Beach, Florida.  The kids are adorable and you never know what they will say.  One little boy told me tonight that he went to Tectsas (Texas) on an airplane with his family.  Later in the evening I said, "Tomorrow's my birthday, and he said, "I'm not coming."

Speechless Sunday: Flowers blooming in Fernandina Beach, Florida.         Although it is officially autumn, many of my flower beds are still full of color.  This is yet another reason that I love living here in Fernandina Beach, Florida.  The flowers are white vinca, white and yellow lantana and red and yellow lantana.

This is the house in which I raised my kids: It is locatd at 204 Lighthouse Circle in Fernandina Beach, Florida.  I have many great memories of dinners after Little League games, slumber parties with my daughter and her friends, holiday celebrations and life in general.  This was our family home from 1982 until 1997.

This is a different kind of Throwback Thursday Blog post.  During my early career as a REALTOR in Fernandina Beach Florida, I held open houses but never got any leads out of them.  I have noticed that a lot of agents in town are holding open houses, and I'm hearing that they are successful.  This reminded me of one of the first blogs I posted on AR so I went way back in the archives and found this blog post from 2008: Open houses are they worth the time?

This may be the smallest house in Fernandina Beach; sadly it is not for sale. This house can be seen on the playground behind First Baptist Church on 8th street in Fernandina Beach, Florida.    The kids love to play in the sand and in front or stand inside and pretend they are selling ice cream.   The cedar shake shingles give it a lot of character, don't you think?   If you need to buy or sell property in the Fernandina Beach or Yulee, Florida area contact Sybil Campbell at 904-885-0987.
