Steps:

Buying a condo is no different than buying a single-family home, you need to live there at least a couple of years to recoup closing costs, assuming the property will appreciate.

Request a market analysis from an experienced Realtor regarding the selling prices of condos in the building or area. Check the price appreciation on the market analysis to evaluate how quickly the condos are increasing in value.

I see homes valued at say $ 100,000 that are for sale at $ 100,000. How do I get that price down? What is the point in buying a home as an investment for exactly what it is worth? What happened to the “you make your money when you buy the home”? It’s kind of frustrating to keep looking at houses and being pushed to buy a house just because I can afford the monthly payments.

Tips? I want to rent these out, not flip the houses.

Good Question!

Call Darin, 801-888-1800, no one technique is a cure-all but an experienced Realtor has the art of negotiating, which is what is needed in all real estate transactions.

Wanna know a secret?
So many buyers are being given loans by lenders who do not have the ability to provide the loan they initially present. 

What do you do?
Insist on a lock-in letter! This assures you the loan is real and that you actually qualify for it. 

If you request a lock-in letter and they do not provide one immediately, RUN as fast as you can.  It doesn't matter what the excuse or reason is, one lie leads to another.  No lock-in letter should mean no business.

Lock in letters are free of charge and guarantee that you will close escrow with the interest rate and terms of the loan that was presented to you initially by your lender.

Don't get caught in this bait and switch game by an unethical lender!

Banks are getting very cautious about real estate home mortgage loans these days — right up to the closing date.

5 Things that will ruin your closing

1. Bad Lender
2. Bad Lender - Oh, I already said that! But a good lender can save the day! Call me for some of the best lenders to use for this area, Darin Michl 801-888-1800. Make sure you give the lender everything they ask for, no matter how redundant it may sound and when they ask you for more information, supply it asap. Stay in communication with your lender and talk to your loan officer the morning of closing and find out the amount of your certified check.  If you are paying any of your closing costs or bringing a downpayment to closing, you will need to have a certified check when you arrive to sign the papers.
3. Buying Big Ticket items like furniture, cars or anything that requires a pull of your credit between your loan application and getting the keys in your hand. Even applying for a new credit card can trigger a credit-score inquiry, which could reduce your credit score and threaten your home loan.
4. Changing jobs right before closing. Any career move you make could jeopardize your home mortgage loan.
5. Make sure you pay all of your debts on time until you get the keys to your house. Prepare for a last-minute credit check. With new rules initiated by Fannie Mae’s loan quality initiative, which went into effect June 1, banks and lenders will likely make a second credit check right before closing. So if you miss any credit-card payments or are late on a mortgage payment between the time you were approved for a mortgage and the actual closing date, you may be putting your new home purchase in jeopardy.

These are the most common things that can ruin your closing.  By working closely with a real estate professional and professional loan officer, you can avoid most of them.

A Short Sale is a Dignified and Smart Solution.

Darin Michl and his team have the Solutions, Experience and Organization that can eliminate your home mortgage debt problems, help protect your loan worthiness, and allow you to get on with your life in a dignified and hassle free manner - A Short Sale can Provide you with Real Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief.

What is a Short Sale?

In simple terms, a short sale is transaction in which the bank(s) accepts a discount on their mortgage to allow a sale, and thus avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. For example: A homeowner, who is facing foreclosure, has an existing first mortgage of $500,000. The market value of the home is $350,000. The Mortgage Bank agrees to wipe out $150,000 in mortgage debt, and accepts the offer for $350,000 and the home is sold. In actual practice, a Short Sale is the most complex of all Residential transactions, so make sure you work with a seasoned professional.

What are the Advantages of a Short Sale?

1. Less Damaging to your Credit Rating: A Foreclosure will severely damage your credit rating for 7 years, but a Short Sale is less damaging and its effect does not last as long.
   
   
2. Probable Relief from HELOC 2nd Mortgage: When the 1st Mortgage Bank forecloses, the 2nd TD HELOC loan is not deleted from your debt. The 2nd TD HELOC Mortgage Bank may take legal means to collect their debt after the Foreclosure. With a Short Sale, we negotiate with both lenders to highly reduce or totally eliminate the HELOC loan debt.
   
   
3.  Dignified Solution: With a Short Sale, we sell your home just like your neighbors have done. It's a dignified resolution to a tough situation. On the other hand, after a Foreclosure, a Sheriff performs a lock out and a Bank Sales Rep places 'Bank Foreclosure For Sale' signs in front of the property for your neighbors to see.
   
   
4.  Major Banks are Encouraging Short Sales over Foreclosure: Fannie Mae (FNMA) recently changed their underwriting policy so that a past home owner now has to wait 5 years after a Foreclosure before FNMA will underwrite a new loan. If the homeowner conducted a Short Sale the wait time is just 2 Years! Freddie Mac also offers participating Banks a $2,200 incentive to conduct a Short Sale versus Foreclosure.
   
   
5. Much Shorter Delay to Renewed Loan Worthiness
   
   
6. "Cash for Cooperation": Some banks are now offering home owners a Cash incentive in order to Cooperate with a short sale, versus allowing the property to be Foreclosed on by the Bank. Which Banks and amount of Cash offered, is on a case by case basis.

Time is of the Essence.

If foreclosure proceedings have started on your home, then you may only have less than a few months before your home is sold at the public Foreclosure Auction on the courthouse steps. As a short sale expert I can almost always get the foreclosure postponed, but only if you call me, 801-888-1800. Please don't hesitate. I'm here to help you prevent Foreclosure using a dignified short sale solution.
