MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:
Last year the Federal Government came out with a new law we lenders had to abide by. The law stated we are not allowed to close a mortgage loan faster than 8 days. If you are in a jam due to a loan stuck in “Big Bank Underwriting Hell” we can make it happen quick. All we need is a buyer who will cooperate.

MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:
First time home buyer bond money has an option where the State will GIVE a buyer 2.5% of the 3.5% down required by FHA. They do, however, jack up the rate by .50%. Have the seller pay the buyers closing costs, close near the end of the month, because of the tax proration credit wiping out the escrows and into the down payment, the buyer can come to closing with little money. It is ideal for those folks who just don’t have much money and have no one to gift them money.
