New Home-Buyer 101
By · Comments
Want to buy a new Home now, or in the near future? I help clients achieve this everyday. Far too many clients are repeatedly misinformed about what needs to take place in order to qualify for a home loan in the current market. Local and national banks not only offer sub-par programs and rates, but require 10-20% for a down-payment and spotless credit as well, thus limiting the ability of many possible buyers. Don’t get discouraged if you have fallen into this group before or think you will. I have access to 100% 30yr fixed loan programs funded by government, and FHA sponsored programs that minimize the requirements for a down-payment! Yes even in today’s market. Really!
Step 1: “Most Important” Get your FREE Outline and Credit review. Far too many people find the house they want first then try to obtain financing, which leads to numerous problems in the underwriting process. Don’t let this happen to you too. I provide clients with a detailed outline and help for what is required upfront to get your loan pre-approved and CLOSED! Even if your credit scores are not above a 620 I will work with you along with the help of a credit restoration company used by multiple clients of mine. We have unparalleled success in fixing credit issues and getting you ready to buy a home.
Step 2: Get your preliminary loan approval solidified. Once we have an outline for what a comfortable payment would be for you, and your credit in-line with requirements we will establish your intial approval with the lender.
Step 3: Now go find that Home you love. I work with established real estate agents that have the experience I suggest for my clients. Having an agent that knows your area well, and has the communication needed helps immensely in the process. The experience they bring to the table will ensure you are getting a great home that is move-in ready and solid. Eliminating any future headaches.
Step 4: I will guide and handle for you the final items required to “Close” on your loan and move into your new Home!
How many times have you heard stories of friends, family, or co-workers having set-backs in the loan process or being denied? Unfortunately I meet too many clients that have had this happen to them prior to contacting me. On average the process takes only 30 days for established buyers once they settle on a home they love. Those that require restoration or improvement to their credit take longer depending on the extent of restoration needed, but is achievable with a dual effort. Either way I will help you navigate the market personally.
Take action now. Get your questions answered and start your FREE outline towards a new home. I look forward to helping you
Mn Jumbo Loans
By · Comments
As 2010 gets under way, now is a good time to review the important updates for MN mortgage jumbo loans and new jumbo loans for MN mls buyers. Over the last 2 years we in the lending community have seen jumbo loan guidelines tighten, especially for Minneapolis mortgage holders, lenders disappear, and rates rise to levels rendering these loans a rarity. As many pundits and organizations claim that the housing meltdown is over we have seen small windows of these loans coming back into the fray. Now I perosonally do not agree with the said pundits etc, but announcing some options for homeowners with these types of loans is worthwhile. Here are a few updates I have noticed:
- Lenders still are scare, but those who have always had a position in this market are still offering these loans
- Interest rates for these products have now dropped with conventional rates, which has not been the case for a while
- Appraised values have still been hammered hard making it tough to get the value needed on refinances
Overall the guidelines are still tight, but those with equity in their homes (even with current values) have more options available to save money than before. Currently rates for jumbos are in the high 5’s, which historically are very low. Those with a current MN mortgage or those looking to purchase a new MN mls home and have a significant down-payment (20-30% pending lender) have a great opportunity to fix in their loan balance at very low fixed interest rate.
