useful-tips-in-buying-a-house.jpg  
Buying a house is a very serious matter that comes in to people’s lives. It is very risky to invest your money in buying just any house you find. You must have some guidelines that can help you decide which house is the best for you. Here are some:

1. Determine your rights

When you are ready to buy your own house, be sure you understand your rights as a homebuyer. Knowing the process of buying a house prevents you from getting scammed. You can personally do your home work or seek for a knowledgeable person like a real estate agent or a broker. Make sure that the agent you hire is licensed and have a wide knowledge regarding the area. (more…)

Posted on: March 30th, 2007

Mortgage rates barely budged during the week ended July 6 and July 7. While the average contract rate of most products moved up, changes were virtually imperceptible, perhaps lending further credence to Freddie Mac’s projection in its July Economic Outlook that rates would ‘continue to bounce around gently.

The average rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage was up one basis point to 6.79 with fees and points unchanged for the fifth straight week at 0.5. The 15 year also increased one basis point to 6.44 percent with fees and points unchanged at 0.5. Average rates for the 5/1-year ARM were unchanged at 6.39 percent although fees and points moved from 0.5 to 0.6. The 1-year ARM averaged 5.83 and 0.8 in fees and points. The rate here increased 1 basis point while fees and points were unchanged. (more…)





Refinance Options Fixed Rate vs Adjustable Rate Mortgages

Posted on: March 30th, 2007

When is a good time to refinance your mortgage to a fixed rate loan?

The very best time to refinance is when the interest rates are at an all time low. If you’re waiting for this option, you’ll want to follow the market and keep an eye on what direction our financial leaders are heading. Usually it’s based on the status of our economy and there is a lot of discussion about it before the prime interest rate moves in either direction. Keep your ear to the ground.

It’s also a good idea to refinance to a fixed rate if you plan on living in your home for the life of the loan. Ninety percent (90%) of our population moves to a new or different home for one reason or another within 5-7 years. But, there are those who stay put and want the stability of steady payments. It makes financial planning much easier to know for certain how much your expenses are from month to month. If you are one of these people, your best refinance option is a fixed rate mortgage.

If you are having trouble paying your current mortgage, or you think that you are not receiving the best deal you possibly can, then perhaps it is time to think about a remortgage. However, many people are unsure about the relative benefits and problems of a remortgage. Here are some useful tips to help you decide if remortgaging is right for you:

What is a remortgage?

A remortgage is when you replace your existing mortgage loan with a new one from either the same lender or a new lending company. This is usually done to reduce monthly payments or to release home equity. Remortgaging is usually carried out through a remortgage broker

Remortgaging for lower payments (more…)





Learn How to Evaluate a Sellers Asking Price

Posted on: March 30th, 2007

Let’s face it. Not every property’s listed asking price is really what the property is worth. In fact, the asking price for a property can be dependent upon multiple issues, none of which are truly related to current market value?

Evaluating an owner’s asking price is crucial to your investment.

There are many investment strategies in commercial real estate, and different players in the industry look for different characteristics of a property, including asking price. For the majority of people in commercial real estate, they are looking for a fair, good deal with a property that is marketed at retail or just below retail. They are not usually willing to purchase a property for more than it is worth (of course, there are exceptions). (more…)

Posted on: March 29th, 2007

When you go to the bank to get a mortgage, you’ll inevitably be asked to take out mortgage insurance. The idea behind mortgage insurance is simply that if something happens to you or your spouse then your loan will be paid off which is good news for your family and the bank. Most financial institutions act like they are doing you a favor by offering you mortgage insurance through their own group plan, but are they?

The truth is that you could probably get a much better deal and at least an equal amount of protection by shopping around for your own insurance policy. (more…)

Posted on: March 29th, 2007

The first is a term or closed end loan and the second is basically a line of credit. Most people prefer to refer to them as a second mortgage because they are secured against your home much like your first home loan or mortgage. Typically these types of home equity loans usually have a payback life of between 5 and 15 years.

The term loan is a one-time lump sum payment that is paid off over a set amount of time. There is a fixed interest rate which allows for the same loan repayment each month. After you get your money you cannot borrow further from the loan. (more…)

Posted on: March 29th, 2007

On May 15th, 2006, the IRS released a scathing report on non-profit credit reporting agencies. The IRS recently completed audits of 41 large credit counseling agencies, resulting in revocation or termination of their tax-exempt status. In the course of these investigations, the IRS discovered that the majority of the agencies were motivated by profit, rather than goodwill. The problem is so widespread that the IRS has changed its application requirements for credit counseling agencies, and only three agencies were granted non-profit status this year.

In many instances, the agencies were affiliated with private businesses, (such as credit card agencies), and worked to serve the interest of their for-profit counterparts. IRS Commissioner, Mark W. Everson, affirmed that “…these organizations have not been operating for the public good and don’t deserve tax-exempt status.” (more…)
