Why Liability Insurance Is Required At Closing

Certainly there is one thing anyone can anticipate at the summation table when you are buying a house and this is the demand regarding a liability insurance policy. Similar to the prerequisite intended for auto insurance coverage any time you're changing automobile titles and acquiring automobile tags in most states, you'll discover which mortgage loan providers are determined to make sure you have proof of insurance protection at closing.  more...

What is loan to value ratio?

The way banks and mortgage lenders decide whether to make loans on certain houses with a certain value is not really a mysterious process, although you don't hear much from them while you're waiting for an appraisal and for a loan commitment. It can be a long, tiresome wait!

Mortgage lenders use a specific criteria to determine whether you are personally qualified for a mortgage, which all has to do with the ratio of your debts to your income. But the other part of their determination uses different criteria, it is all about the appraised value of the house, it's not about you at all.  more...

Update Your Chain of Title When You Sell a Home

Whenever I get ready to sell a house I have to provide my buyer with a form of guarantee that I really own the house and that there are no liens against it. Even if the buyer doesn't really know or care about these things, they are actually very important to him. That's why lawyers and title companies research the legal history of a property thoroughly on behalf of the current owner before a property is sold to a new owner. Everyone wants to know, especially his lender if the new owner is borrowing money, that the "chain of title" is clear.  more...

Return of the Reverse Mortgage?

The FHA now permits seniors 62 years and older to PURCHASE residential real estate using a reverse mortgage. Until recently, reverse mortgages insured by FHA were only available on homes already owned and occupied by eligible borrowers. Beginning this spring, the agency allows you to BUY a duplex, tri-plex, or quadruplex - using a reverse mortgage.

That means you can buy a multi-unit property with an FHA reverse mortgage, live in one unit while renting out the others, and avoid paying a dime towards your monthly principal or interest.  more...

Real Estate Agent Lays the SmackDown on the IRS!

Many of you have heard about how the IRS has been targeting Real Estate Agents, and challenging the status of a "real estate professional" for an Agent.

To give you a brief background without getting into the details - a "Real Estate Professional" is someone who "materially participates" in their real estate activity. As a result, they are able to deduct real estate losses from other income that is not related to real estate.

The IRS had been challenging the "real estate professional" status for agents - stating that Brokers qualify, but Agents do not. And they were winning...  more...

March Marketing Madness

Starting March 1, investors can once again own and finance up to 10 individual properties and get Fannie Mae backed loans. Previously, an investor with 5 properties, great credit, and documented income could not finance an investment property without bringing in a partner or resorting to creative financing methods.

Undoubtedly, investors who had been halted by the limit are in a position to buy now.

In lieu of this, we started March Marketing Madness (a stimulus aimed at helping agents with these emerging investors). In alphabetical order, here are some tips we have:  more...

The Rise of the Real Estate "Investor"

In just a few days (3/1), Fannie will start allowing investors to hold up to 10 mortgages and get Fannie Mae backed loans. The limit had been previously reduced to 4.

It's a good move - investors account for at least 22% of the market, and 75% of their purchases are single family homes, condos, and townhouses - so they can clear up some of the inventory.

There will be an increase in activity from investors who had been halted by the 4 property limit, and it's certainly a good time to market to them.  more...
