Sometimes one of the selling points a seller gives me about their home is “the neighbours are great.” It’s something that many of us take for granted and don’t pay attention to when we buy a home. It most definitely can blight the enjoyment of your home when you realize that you are in the wrong neighbourhood or living next door to a disruptive or nosey neighbour. There is not much you can do about it once you buy the home, so you are best to do your investigative work before hand.

Know your neighbours before you buy

Your realtor can give you an overview of the neighbourhood, telling you about nearby amenities and a general feel for the demographic of the area. For example, you may be looking for more mature residents to be the majority, or alternatively, more young families. You may want a condo complex with only a few tenants, or you may be looking for the exact opposite with a neighbourhood known for auxiliary apartments and renters. The realtor will also make you aware of upcoming zoning changes or new construction of highways or housing that may affect the enjoyment of your home and the resale value.

Some neighbourhoods and complexes have their own websites now, where you can learn about events and get some information about the atmosphere. Be sure to check the local police station website or in person to find out about traffic problems, and crime statistics and compare to other neighbourhoods. Make sure to ask for an analysis of the statistics, as some of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in major cities suffer from high crime rates, from auto theft, not violent crimes, so a quick explanation may calm your fears, especially if you drive an old clunker that no one would want to steal!

Of course, there is nothing better than first hand information so I always ask my clients to do a drive by of any property they are interested in, and at various times of day. They can get a feel for traffic issues, and the neighbourhood character and they may even stop and ask a few questions of people as they rake their lawns or walk their dogs. People love to talk about their homes, so don’t be surprised if you have to turn off the car and settle in for a long chat as you may learn a lot from the people in the neighbourhood.

Don’t be afraid of multiple offers. You still have some control. There are a few things that can happen if you get into competition. The seller can accept your offer and you will have bought a house. Or the seller can accept someone else’s offer and you need to keep looking. Or the seller can work with your offer, and sign it back to you with a counter-offer that you can accept or decline, and perhaps even counter-offer back to them.

Taking Charge in a Bidding War

There is another scenario that I despise, but unfortunately it happens: the seller has a number of offers on the table, and decides to send them all back for improvement. Personally, I think they should just choose the best one and accept it or work with it. In the case where you are sent back to improve, you have control and choices. The seller is actually at risk if the offer is signed back to you and a higher figure is requested. You can simply walk away from the deal, as you are not obligated to increase your money or change any terms of the agreement. You can resubmit your offer as is, or you can make some improvements to the offer by way of increasing the money or removing a condition or changing any term on the contract that the seller wasn’t happy about.

Just remember, although emotions run high and it’s not the most fun scenario for buyers, you should keep your head about you, and understand that you are always in control.

Ask price, also called offer price, offer, asking price, or simply ask, is the price a seller states she or he will accept for a good. The seller may qualify the stated asking price as firm or negotiable. Firm means the seller is saying he or she will not change the price. Negotiable means the seller is inviting the potential buyer to attempt to convince the seller to lower the price. In bid and ask, the term ask price is used in contrast to the term bid price. The difference between the bid price and the ask price is called the spread.

Balloon payment mortgage is a mortgage which does not fully amortize over the term of the note, thus leaving a balance due at maturity. The final payment is called a balloon payment because of its large size. Balloon payment mortgages are more common in commercial real estate than in residential real estate. A balloon payment mortgage may have a fixed or a floating interest rate. The most common way of describing a balloon loan uses the terminology X due in Y, where X is the number of years over which the loan is amortized, and Y is the year in which the principal balance is due.

Balloon payment mortgage

Because borrowers may not have the resources to make the balloon payment at the end of the loan term, a “two-step” mortgage plan may be used with balloon payment mortgages. Under the two-step plan, sometimes referred to as “reset option”, the mortgage note “resets” using current market rates and using a fully amortizing payment schedule. This option is not necessarily automatic, and may only be available if the borrower is still the owner/occupant, has no 30-day late payments in the preceding 12 months, and has no other liens against the property. For balloon payment mortgages without a reset option or where the reset option is not available, the expectation is that either the borrower will have sold the property or refinanced the loan by the end of the loan term. This may mean that there is a refinancing risk.

A Mortgage In Your 50s

george — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:52:23 +0000

It’s not hard to find a 50-something asking the question, “Am I too old to buy a home?” The answer is, absolutely not. A couple of decades ago, the assumption was that everybody retired around age 60 or 65, but today, three out of four Americans plan to work past retirement age. In other words, at 50, you probably still have many working years left, and that means income to put towards a home. That doesn’t mean that you should forget about age. You’re not 20 anymore (thank goodness). Financial decisions are a little more complicated in some ways, but easier in others. If you’re considering purchasing a home in your 50s, think through these issues.

Steps To Buy A Home

First of all, have your credit checked. Homebuyers to have their credit checked six months before buying a place to make sure their FICO score is where it needs to be.
Know what you can afford. Realtors insist that prospective homebuyers “contact a lender and be pre-approved so they know the price of the house they can afford and won’t be disappointed that they can’t go into the price range they were originally considering.” According to many agents, most people don’t get pre-approved, which usually winds up wasting time and causing problems down the line.
Look into location. If you’re going to be in this home for any length of time, look into school districts and other things that may not matter to you yet, but could eventually. Also, find out what your city or county taxes would be, as well as if your community has Homeowners’ or Condo Association dues.
Think twice before buying a home on your own. Buying a home requires real estate and legal savvy, as well as the confidence to negotiate the final price.
Have the house inspected. Once you find a place, have a home inspection done to find out what is wrong with the place. Even if the person isn’t going to fix it, you need to know that before you make the decision to buy the house.

Are You Ready to Rent?

Although you may feel ready to get out on your own, make sure your finances are in order before you take the leap. Take a look at some rental listings in the areas in which you are interested in living and get an idea of how much you’ll have to pay to live there. If you are already making payments on a car, credit card or student loan, be sure to include these amounts in your expenses list. Gas for your car (or a bus pass), insurance (rental and vehicle), cell phone bills and an estimate of the amount you usually spend on personal items should also be included.

Find a Place You Can Call Home

Once you have set some parameters in terms of what you can afford, it’s time to start looking for a place to move into. Start by searching internet sites, classified ads and by visiting the neighborhoods where you might like to live. Whether you decide to rent month-to-month or sign a year-long lease, be sure to read what you are agreeing to carefully. The lease should detail how much rent you must pay, when it is due, how long you can occupy the apartment or house and who is responsible for utilities (some leases include them). It will also include rules about pets, roommates and whether you can paint or do improvements.

If you’ve done everything right, your utilities should be hooked up, your bags packed and your bills paid. Determine what day you will be moving into your new place. If possible, recruit friends and family to help you move, rather than hiring a mover. The transition to making it on your own may not be simple, but if you do it right, you can avoid having to retreat to your parents’ basement. Plus, you’ll develop the skills you need to improve your standard of living as you go along.

Is Condo Life For You?

george — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 09:13:42 +0000

There are a many benefits to owning your own condo – chief among them the fact that you actually own your own condo! However, along with the benefits, there can be unforeseen hassles. For example, a condo can be more than a financial commitment; it’s a social commitment as well. In this article we’ll examine these considerations to make sure that your new condo life is a great one. If you are thinking about making a purchase in the near future, don’t forget to consider the ways condo living could affect your life.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

Costs for the condo owner usually don’t stop at the mortgage. You’ll also have to think about things like monthly owner fees, sometimes called condo association fees, and homeowner’s insurance. The association fees pay for things such as general upkeep and insurance of the condo complex. If the gate to your complex’s parking garage breaks, the fees you and your neighbors pay will go toward fixing it. These fees also pay for the condo’s insurance, which covers major situations that affect the complex as a whole. It’s important to note that these fees never go away.

The Social Setting

When you’re in buying mode, it’s common to think only in terms of dollars and cents – a condo is a huge purchase, after all. But it’s essential not to forget the social aspect of living in a condo. Different complexes work well for different kinds of people, so get to know your complex as well as your prospective neighbors to make sure that they’re a good fit for you – if you’re easing into retirement, it might not be a great idea to buy a condo next to a bunch of hard-partying college kids or vice versa.

When you buy your condo, you might find that you’re not happy with certain aspects of the bylaws. If this is the case, there are ways to get things done without causing too much of a ripple. The best way to get your voice heard is to sit in on homeowners’ meetings for your complex. At these meetings, the governing body of the complex will get together to discuss issues that have come up.

Conclusion Don’t pack up that moving van just yet – condos can be a great place to live, but only if you spend the time to look into what life will be like in your future complex. Don’t let unexpected speed bumps, such as condo association fees and bylaws, keep your condo life from being the good life.

Top Mortgage Mistakes

george — Sun, 11 May 2014 09:11:35 +0000

During the 2007-2009 financial crisis, the United States economy crumbled because of a problem with mortgage foreclosures. Borrowers all over the nation had trouble paying their mortgages. At the time, eight out of 10 borrowers were trying to refinance their mortgages. Even high end homeowners were having trouble with foreclosures. Why were so many citizens having trouble with their mortgages? Let’s take a look at the biggest mortgage mistakes that homeowners make.

1. Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Adjustable rate mortgages seem like a homeowners dream. An adjustable rate mortgage starts you off with a low interest rate for the first two to five years. They allow you to buy a larger house than you can normally qualify for and have lower payments that you can afford. After two to five years the interest rate resets to a higher market rate. That’s no problem because borrowers can just take the equity out of their homes and refinance to a lower rate once it resets.

Well, it doesn’t always work out that way. When housing prices drop, borrowers tend to find that they are unable to refinance their existing loans. This leaves many borrowers facing high mortgage payments that are two to three times their original payments. The dream of home ownership quickly becomes a nightmare.

2. No Down Payment
During the subprime crisis, many companies were offering borrowers no down payment loans to borrowers. The purpose of a down payment is twofold. First, it increases the amount of equity that you have in your home and reduces the amount of money that you owe on a home. Second, a down payment makes sure that you have some skin in the game. Borrowers that place down a large down payment are much more likely to try everything possible to make their mortgage payments since they do not want to lose their investment. Many borrowers who put little to nothing down on their homes find themselves upside down on their mortgage and end up just walking away. They owe more money than the home is worth. The more a borrower owes, the more likely they are to walk away.

3. Liar Loans
The phrase “liar loans” leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Liar loans were incredibly popular during the real estate boom prior to the subprime meltdown that began in 2007. Mortgage lenders were quick to hand them out and borrowers were quick to accept them. A liar loan is a loan that requires little to no documentation. Liar loans do not require verification. The loan is based on the borrower’s stated income, stated assets and stated expenses.
