Tips on Buying a HUD or Foreclosed Property
by Mike Adams
Everyone has heard that buy a HUD or Foreclosed property as a real estate investment can be a great idea, with high potential return on investment. This is true in most cases. There are pitfalls and potential problems that must be examined first and during this process to minimize the risk. Here is how the process should work for you.
What you don’t know about how to shop for homeowners insurance could cost you!
Consider the classic scenario: You receive a renewal notice from your current homeowner’s insurance carrier, and the rate has increased. Frustrated, you begin to entertain bids from other providers, looking to save money over what you presently pay .
Thus begins the time consuming process of comparing quotes and companies.
Granted, finding a competitive rate on your homeowners insurance is important , however I would pose a few questions:
The most important investment you will ever make is probably the purchase of a home. Finding the right home for you can be a long and arduous process, but there is no getting around that.
Know Your Wants And Needs
Before embarking on your journey of house hunting, you must know what you really want to find. Sit down with pen and paper and list all the features you care most about, such as:
- Location (in a particular city, school district or neighborhood)
Reverse Mortgage No Credit score required- No down payment Required.
Let me hit some of these high points for you again.
A reverse mortgage can be used for a home purchase!
To qualify for this type of financing, a borrower must be financing their primary residence and be at least 62 years old. This loan does not have minimum credit score or income requirements, so more potential homeowners are likely to qualify. With the right home, in the right neighborhood, a reverse mortgage could be used to buy your new retirement home.
FHA home loans have been around since 1934 and have helped many buyers purchase the home of their dreams. The underwriting guidelines on FHA home loans are much more lenient than on the conventional loans making obtaining financing much more accessible for more people.
The minimum down payment required on a FHA home loan at this time is 3.5%. Compared to the conventional loan which requires a minimum of a 5% – 10% down payment, this can make the difference of being able to purchase a home for some buyers or not being able to purchase due the larger down payment requirement.Sometimes, a buyer may not have all of the funds for the down payment and closing costs saved up, but they have a relative that wants to help them achieve the dream of owning a home. Both conventional and FHA loans allow a gift, however, there are big differences in the requirements on each type of loan.
Buying a Home? Your also Buying Insurance!
By Mike Adams
If you are a first time home buyer, or if this is the fourth home you bought your also an insurance buyer. Most Real Estate Agents don’t mention too much about insurance because it is not a product that they handle. They will (or should) tell you you need to get a homeowner policy on your new home as soon as your offer is accepted and point you to the phone book. That is about all that is said. What not said is important can save you a lot of money both in the short term and over the term of the loan.
Here are some things you should do……
When it comes to finding new listings, short sales may be your answer. In an effort to avoid foreclosure some homeowners may resort to a short sale. A short sale is the sale of a home for less than the value of the mortgage with approval from the lender. Before a home can go through the foreclosure process, the lender must file a notice of default, at the County Recorder Office. A NOD is the formal notification to the homeowner that they have lapsed in mortgage payments. All of these records are available at the Recorder’s office and it is your job to do the research to find these listings. These public records are accessible by anyone but you must research through all the paperwork to find the names of the people to contact. Although this may be time consuming, you going to the clerk’s office will put you ahead of all the other agents fighting for these listings.
25 Ways to save on Home Insurance There are many variables relative to a home that determine the rate that is charged for insuring the property. For example, homes constructed of Brick and that are detached from other homes, will get cheaper insurance rates than a home constructed of wood and that is attached on one or both sides. Also a 3 family home will cost more to insure than a one family home, as each unit adds another potential hazard with more stoves, kitchens, potential water leaks, and increased chances for human error that may cause a fire.
Everyone wants to sell their home for the highest possible price. In order to accomplish that you need to make sure that you avoid common mistakes that many home sellers make! Small mistakes can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. It’s not difficult to avoid making these mistakes. Just follow the simple guidelines in this article and you should be able to get top value for your house when you sell.
For Sale By Owner: Most homeowners who choose to sell their home themselves do so because they think they can save the commission paid to the real estate agent. The amount of time and effort required to sell a home often surprises the DIY Seller. And, importantly, many costly mistakes can be avoided with the right guidance.
Know the Current Market: Most homes that don’t sell in the first 30 days after being listed are priced too high. On the other hand homes that sell too quickly might have been priced too low and robbed the homeowner out of additional profits. You need to understand your market and evaluate the value of your home based on fact, not gut instinct or the opinion of your in-laws. A professional real estate broker will know and understand your market.
