What is FHA Financing?

There are 3 main types of FHA financing, for more details on rates and terms contact a mortgage lender familiar with FHA guidelines.

1. 203 (b) regular FHA loan for homes listed as "IN" insurable on the hudhomestore website.
This means the property doesn't need any required repairs and HUD will insure the loan with the classification of "IN".

2. 203 (b) with repair escrow listed as "IE" insurable with an escrow on the hudhomestore website.
This means the property needs $5,000 or less in repairs to bring it up to FHA's minimum property standards. FHA will insure the loan if the repairs are completed by the Buyer or the Buyer's Agent within 90 days after the closing date.
It is a cost to the Buyer that can be financed with the mortgage loan.
The lender monitors the escrow account and disburses the funds upon satisfactory completion of the repairs.

3. 203 (k) listed as 203k eligible on the hudhomestore website.
This means the home needs more than $5,000 in repairs to bring the property up to FHA's minimum property standards.

4. UI uninsured, this means the property needs more than $5,000 in repairs and is not eligible for an FHA insured loan unless 203k financing can be arranged/approved.

If You're Under Contract To Buy A House-NO BLACK FRIDAY FOR YOU

If you're under contract to buy a home at this time, you may not be able to go Christmas shopping just yet.
One of the clients I have under contract right now just reminded me of that fact by texting me and asking if I think he could go to Black Friday.
I told him I'd try to find out for sure and let him know. But I DO KNOW for a fact that most underwriters will deny a loan that has been pre-qualified/approved if there are changes in the home buyer's financial/credit file.
How big or small the changes can be, I don't know because it would depend on several different factors.
But I know most home buyers wouldn't have wanted to already put in the time, emotions and money that it may take to buy a house and then have your mortgage loan rejected just prior to closing.
If it were me, I'd hold off on the Christmas shopping and maybe use layaway if at all possible, but don't BLOW your home purchase!!!
Just double check with your lender and find out if it will affect your status and your debt-to-income ratio.

Thanks for reading my blog and Happy Holidays to you!!!

The New Home Buying Process for 2011/2012

My main reason for writing this post is because I'm organized and I like to arrange things to prevent delays, obstacles, frustration, errors, disappointment, etc.

It took a few prospect calls to prompt me to write this to inform home buyers about how the home buying process works in the current market.

Before I begin with the breakdown of what you should do if you want a relatively easy home buying transaction, I have to clarify some myths in the metro Atlanta Georgia home buying market.

1. You and your Agent can tour a neighborhood and just stop at any home that has a "FOR SALE" sign in the yard. That is a myth, you cannot just stop at any home and see the inside. It could be "under contract or pending sale", occupied, have a security system, withdrawn from the market, disqualified for your loan type, have pets inside the house, not in your price range, etc. As your Agent I will call and get all pertinent information on the homes you like from the listings I emailed you and schedule an appointment with you to see the ones that are available for us to see.
2. People aren't buying houses right now. That is the other myth, people are definitely buying houses now. In the last 2 weeks over 418 contracts for just single family residences closed in the immediate metro Atlanta buying area.
3. Homes are over-priced. That's the other myth. So if you see a home listed at $120,000 don't automatically think you should offer $60,000 and win the bid. I know you want a good deal, but these days a lot of the homes are priced below market value to get a quick sale. As your Agent I will run a report to see what the comparables have sold for recently.
4. Don't use a Buyer's Agent because they will manipulate you to spend more money so they can make more commission. That's another myth. If you sign a "Brokerage Agreement" with us, we're legally obligated to act on behalf of your best interests as our client, not our pay. As your Agent all of the duties I perform on your behalf will be in your best interests.

To Simplify Your Home Buying Process

1. Choose an Agent you trust and feel comfortable enough to ask any questions you may have.
2. Get your payment method together, if you have to save up for your down payment, your Agent should have the patience to work with you until you're ready.
3. Based on your pre-qualified price range, choose an area and communicate all other important criteria to your Agent.
4. Choose some homes you like from the listings your Agent has emailed you as well as any you may find on your own.
5. Communicate with your Agent about the homes you'd like to see the inside of so your Agent can coordinate with you to schedule a showing appointment of the homes that are available.
6. If the exterior of the home will be a major factor in your decision, it may be beneficial for you to do a drive-by of the area and see the exterior of the home before your showing appointment, you can begin to eliminate the ones you don't like.
7. You've found one you'd like to place an offer on. Your Agent should get any information that's available to help you decide on how much to offer, as well as any disclosures, covenants, HOA rules, fees, taxes, etc. You should begin to gather the documentation your lender will require for your mortgage loan application and give an earnest money deposit to submit with your offer. Your Agent should ensure that your deposit is returned if the sale does not go through, if it does go through, the deposit is subtracted from your costs at closing.
8. Your offer will be accepted, rejected or countered.
   

   If it's accepted your Agent will begin the inspections process and you should promptly give your lender anything they ask for. If it's rejected-move on to the next home. If it's countered, negotiate until all parties can agree on the terms of the contract.
9. Once your sales contract is signed by all parties, it's official and the deadlines begin. All parties should promptly do their part to comply with the terms of the contract. This is when the teamwork kicks in and if everyone works together with little resistance, the transaction should proceed smoothly.
10. Do not, I repeat, do not change your credit or financial status whatsoever from the time your lender approved you. Don't make any large withdrawals other than your normal household expenses, nor any large deposits or large purchases. Wait until after you have the keys to your new home to buy new furniture, appliances, etc.
11. In most cases you're responsible for paying for the appraisal and inspections so ensure you've saved enough for that as well.
12. Order homeowner's insurance.
13. Your Agent will submit any amendments to the contract if the appraisal comes back low or the inspection reveals additional things that need repaired or replaced.
14. If there are contingencies, such as due diligence, appraisal, finance, etc. your Agent will remove them as they're satisfied.
15. The closing attorney or title company will run a title check and issue title insurance.
16. The final walk-thru of your home, I like to schedule it as close as possible to the closing date and time, usually on the way to the closing if our schedules allow and if not, then the day prior to closing. To make sure the home is in the same condition and hasn't been vandalized.
17. At the closing, you will sign the loan documents and settlement statement in exchange for the keys to your new home.

Congratulations, you've made what could have a been a stressful, frustrating experience a pleasant one for you and your family!

Find a home for sale in Georgia

Would You Work For Free????

I didn't think so, so don't expect me too either! I have bills to pay and a family to provide for too.

In the real estate industry in Georgia lately, I've come across too many people who don't want to provide documentation that they can actually pay for the home they would like me to show them. Or people who get offended when I ask for it.

You can't buy ANY house without proof of funds or a pre-qual letter, so why would I show you a house if you don't show me the funding for it?

Really, it would be like you waking up every morning and getting dressed, going to work and working 8-9 hours a day without knowing if you were going to get paid in the next week or two. You wouldn't do that. For us Real Estate Agents, we don't expect to get paid within that timeframe, but we do expect to get paid.

We actually see and experience more in our industry everyday than what you are aware of.

For example, the many contracts we put in that fall out a day or two before the scheduled closing date. Who's gonna pay us for all the time, effort and work we put into getting that property under contract? You, our broker? No, nobody.

We already have plenty of situations that result in us not being paid and the buyer not wanting to show us their documentation before we start working with them is just a big no no.

You might be saying, well I'll just find an agent who will show me the house. If you do, that's exactly the quality of service that you'll receive from that agent. Poor!

This is a business and we should be respected in that manner. You don't get offended or argue with an attorney when he asks you for a retainer fee; you don't get offended or argue with the doctor when they ask for an insurance card to set an appointment to see you; you don't argue or get offended when they ask for your child's health records to enroll them in school; so you shouldn't argue or get offended with a real estate agent when they ask for documentation to help you buy your most important asset; I take the work I do for my clients very seriously and I'm loyal to a fault, but I will need cooperation from you.

The Latest HUD News For Home Buyers

The latest news released from HUD is that they will now consider all reasonable offers submitted on properties that have been on the market over 120 days. If you'd like to receive a listing of only these homes for sale in Georgia contact me by phone/text/email.

I work diligently with home buyers in Georgia to help get them into a home they'll love. Contact me to find out exactly how hard I will work to find you a home you'll love!

How To Sell Your House In Georgia

Let Me List Your Home For Sale

I want you to allow me to list your home for sale. This article will give you information on why you should choose me as your listing agent to help you sell your home.
I will begin with a thorough CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) to find out what the homes in your area have recently sold for. That is the most accurate method to determine what your listing price should be. You can check the home values that are listed on the popular sites like Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Yahoo Real Estate and so on, but those values are sometimes inaccurate and not a true indicator of your homes market value. A local Real Estate Agent or appraiser will be your best source to get your home's estimated value from.
My efforts to market your home for sale will be a great benefit to you, as opposed to you trying to sell your home on your own or choosing another source to list it for sale. I thrive on challenges, so I will put more time and effort into accomplishing the sale of your house. I will do things that you (if you're considering trying to sell your home on your own) or some other sources wouldn't want to do.
It will be a great advantage for you to have your home listed for sale in our local mls databases (FMLS & GAMLS). The agents that have pre-qualified home buyers utilize those databases as their main source to find homes to show to their clients. So your FSBO house won't have the main source that agents use to find houses for sale in your local area.
You don't want to spend as much money as I will to efficiently and effectively market, promote and advertise your home for sale. I pay for exposure and/or home buyer leads from Zillow.com, Homes.com, Trulia, Realtor.com, Active Rain, Movoto, Yahoo Real Estate, Homegain, Front Door, MSN Real Estate, AOL Real Estate, HomeFinder, Realbird, Yellowpages.com, Postlets, Point2Agent, Realtown and more. All of my listings are automatically syndicated to those sites mentioned and 1000's of additional websites when I enter them in our listing database, as well as a craigslist posting and an automated youtube video made of your property for sale in Georgia. I use all of the Google SEO products and CPC advertising. I have thousands of friends on Facebook  and over 1100 followers on Twitter.  The very same way that you found my website, your future homebuyer will find your home for sale on my real estate website.
Your home will have dynamic photos, single property websites, amazing virtual tours, breathtaking print & mobile advertising as well as scheduled open houses.
You will get tips to improve your home (if necessary) from me that won't break the bank. I'll relay the buyer feedback to you so you will know what they like and don't like about your home.
And after you've read all this call/text me (404) 503-6562 or email priscillahammond@live.com to schedule an appointment with me so we can get started on selling your home.

How To Find A Rental Home In Cobb County Georgia

To begin your search for a new rental home you should be well prepared at least 30 days before you plan to move. If you're a Section 8 recipient you'll need to be prepared sooner because the process takes approximately 60 days with the Cobb County Housing authority.

You will need to furnish the last 2 months of check stubs totalling at least 2.5-3 times the rent amount. For example if you're looking at Marietta Georgia rentals in the $1000 price range then the total monthly income for all adult occupants in the home should total (1000x2.5)=$2500 or higher. This does vary from time to time, it depends on the landlord.

Your credit, income and rental history will be verified. Some landlords are lenient on tenants with bad credit. You will have to pay for a credit check and sometimes for a background check as well.

You will need to have your move in amount saved up. For a $1000 rental home in Cobb County Georgia you will need $1000 for 1st months rent & $1000 for security deposit = $2000 total. Some landlords are lenient with the deposit, but it's rare and it will be easier for you to get approved if you have it all up front.

There is a very nice 3BR 3BA house for rent in Marietta GA on Perch Overlook it rents for $1200 a month with $1200 security deposit and they allow pets with a $400 pet deposit.

In Kennesaw a rental home on Park Forest Way is a lovely ranch home for rent 3BR 2BA $1150 a month $1150 security deposit and a $300 pet deposit.

A great home for rent in Austell GA on Cochran is a spacious 3BR 2BA for $1100 with $1100 security deposit, pets considered on a case by case basis with $300 deposit.

In Acworth GA a great home for sale or rent on Rivers Run a 3BR 2BA with a private fenced in back yard for $1100 a month, it's also available for sale or lease purchase.

In Powder Springs Georgia an exquisite newer rental home (built in 2006) 4BR 2 1/2BA with a private back yard for $1100 a month with $1100 security deposit.

A super home for rent in Marietta Georgia 3BR 2BA for $999 a month $999 security deposit on Clare Cottage with a fenced back yard and garden area. $300 pet deposit.
