Why Liability Insurance Is Required At Closing

leo@18002sellhomes.com — Mon, 16 May 2011 15:02:11 -0700

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?

leo@18002sellhomes.com — Wed, 11 May 2011 12:17:11 -0700

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

leo@18002sellhomes.com — Tue, 10 May 2011 14:14:25 -0700

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...

What Does NOT Play Well On A Real Estate Or Local Community Video Presentation.

1) Thinking you are going to shoot the entire video one take, no edits, on the run.
2) Believing someone will waste four minutes as your car cam video jiggles. You ramble, cause sea sickness dodging pot holes. Twisting in and out of neighborhoods.
3) If the video is a house, think just start inside and let them figure what's up. Confuse.

The FHA now permits seniors 62 years and older to PURCHASE residential real estate using a reverse mortgage.

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...
