Do you hate horse flies?

Sue — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 20:02:08 +0000

Do you hate horse flies? I recently found out some facts about them. There are about 400 different pecies of them in the US. The females have to drink blood to help get protein for their eggs. But here’s the part I did not know. Males and female drink nectar and as a result they are pollenators! They are attracted by carbon dioxide, prefer large dark objects, so wearing white can help. Insect repellents don’t work against them. Swatting is probably all you can do!

Stay cool.

So you want to buy a foreclosed house

1. get pre-qualified or even better pre-approved.
2. consider a 203K loan
3. be prepared to deal with an un-caring, un-emotional instiution
4. get a Realtor with a CDPE or SFR
5. get a home inspection
6. get a home warranty, there may be hidden problems an inspection does not find
7. get an OWNERS title insurance policy, not just the one to cover your lender
8. change the locks
9. make wise improvements to your new property
10. keep it up and enjoy the benefits of home ownership

Flipping houses part2

Sue — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 22:51:28 +0000

So my last post about flipping houses, I said FHA will not give out a loan on something that has not been owned for at least 90 days. That is still true as far as I can tell.
I said you needed to get certain things fixed before the close of an FHA loan. That is still true. However the hard part was getting the things fixed before you owned it! The banks wont fix them, so there was the rub. A circle that could not be broken….well not so fast there is a 203K loan that allows for repairs to be done after the close of the loan.
There is a lot of details, but here are the basics.
1. The property must be an owner occupant
2. Professionals must do the work
3. The money must be held in escrowed for repairs
I know a terrific lenders that can help you with this kind of loan. Contact me if you want more details
