The Fed’s are considering again buying mortgage backed securities which would force mortgage rates down in order to spur the economy.  My goodness!!!</p>
<p>Go out there and sell something today.</p>
<p><strong>MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:</strong><br />
Remember, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came out with some pretty tough rules about a year and a half ago on making loans on condos.  We will go over the next few days what they rules are.</p>
<p>1.	There cannot be more than 49% of the condos in the complex as rentals.  If there are more than that, the complex is NOT eligible.<br />
2.	The complex needs to be turned over to the owners association and all the common areas need to be complete to make the complex eligible.<br />
3.	If the complex has more than 20% of its space is commercial, it is a non-conforming complex.<br />
4.	Are more than 15% of the owners in the complex more than 30 days behind in their condo dues?  If so, it is non-conforming.<br />
5.	Does one entity own more than 10% of the units (including the developer)<br />
6.	Is the complex a CondoTel  (Hotel that is a condo complex), Coop or TimeShare?  If so, it is not a conforming complex.</p>

<p>We CANNOT lock in an interest rate on a loan with a voicemail or email.  The customer MUST talk to the loan officer over the phone or in person before it can be confirmed.  The market changes too frequently.<br />

Remember, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came out with some pretty tough rules about a year and a half ago on making loans on condos.  We will go over the next few days what they rules are.</p>
<p>1.	There cannot be more than 49% of the condos in the complex as rentals.  If there are more than that, the complex is NOT eligible.<br />
2.	The complex needs to be turned over to the owners association and all the common areas need to be complete to make the complex eligible.<br />

The big report is Friday showing jobs for last month.  That could make mortgage rates go either direction.</p>
<p>Go out there and sell something today.</p>
<p><strong>MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:</strong><br />
Remember, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came out with some pretty tough rules about a year and a half ago on making loans on condos.  We will go over the next few days what they rules are.</p>
<p>1.	There cannot be more than 49% of the condos in the complex as rentals.  If there are more than that, the complex is NOT eligible.<br />
2.	The complex needs to be turned over to the owners association and all the common areas need to be complete to make the complex eligible.<br />
3.	If the complex has more than 20% of its space is commercial, it is a non-conforming complex.</p>
<p><strong>THOUGHT OF THE DAY:</strong><br />
“You always pass failure on the way to success.”<br />

<p>We CANNOT lock in an interest rate on a loan with a voicemail or email.  The customer MUST talk to the loan officer over the phone or in person before it can be confirmed.  The market changes too frequently.<br />
We recommend calling during business hours to make sure we have all the markets open and available.</p>

Still lots of uncertainly in the European Markets forcing money to the US in mortgage backed securities.  How weird is this?</p>
<p>Go out there and sell something today.</p>

Freddie and Fannie are now requiring we not only verify that a condo has interior insurance but we are required to escrow that insurance to make sure it does get done and stays in place.</p>

The interest rates quoted are to serve as a guide only and may be different based on specific loan features.  Please call for a specific quote.</p>
<p>We CANNOT lock in an interest rate on a loan with a voicemail or email.  The customer MUST talk to the loan officer over the phone or in person before it can be confirmed.  The market changes too frequently.<br />

Not enough to make mortgage rates go down.  It has to do with economic indicators with China.  It’s a bizarre world out there.</p>
<p>Go out there and sell something today.</p>
<p><strong>MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:</strong><br />
Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac along with PMI companies are requiring a borrower be on their job for at least one month before closing a mortgage loan.  Proof of that is to be provided by a month’s pay stub.  Even though the borrower has a contract showing they are starting on the job, that pay stub is still required.</p>
<p><strong>THOUGHT OF THE DAY:</strong><br />
There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninteresting person.</p>

The European markets seem to be settling down with money flowing back to theirs.</p>
<p>Go out there and sell something today.</p>
<p><strong>MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:</strong><br />
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s maximum loan amount is $417,000.  For many years, they analyzed the average sales prices around the country and adjusted that amount upward every couple years.  Since the latest drop is values, Freddie and Fannie have not adjusted the $417,000 even though values have fallen around the country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thecolumbusteam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fence.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-4925];player=img;"><img src="http://www.thecolumbusteam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fence-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="CB033993" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-4928" /></a>The market is still going in our favor.  We are in the solid 4’s% everywhere or better.</p>
<p>Go out there and sell something today.</p>
<p><strong>MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:</strong><br />
There are many levels of rules in making a mortgage loan.  Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have rules.  The servicer may have more strict rules.  PMI companies may have even more strict rules.  So sometimes it is difficult to get the exact ruling on a certain issue.  The most notable rule is debt ratios.  PMI has the most conservative rule of them all. </p>
<p><strong>THOUGHT OF THE DAY:</strong><br />

<p><strong>LEGAL STUFF</strong></p>
<p>•         *APR &#8211; Annual Percentage Rate<br />
•         **ARM – Adjustable Rate Mortgage (rate may increase after consummation of the loan)<br />
•         ***Cash out refinance – Refinance means pulling out at least $2,000 or more or paying off a non-purchase second mortgage</p>
<p>All payments estimates above do not include amounts for property taxes and homeowner’s insurance premiums and your actual payment obligation will be greater.</p>
<p>Annual Percentage Rates and Payment Estimates quoted are based on a $100,000 loan amount except the 5/1 ARM,  and  Jumbo fixed loan amount is $418,000 and 20% down payment with the exception to the FHA and OHFA quotes which are based on a 3.5% down payment.</p>
<p>Qualifying Assumptions (unless otherwise noted):  45 day rate lock, $100K-$417K loan amount, credit scores 740+, Owner-occupied Purchase or rate/term refinance.  Cash-out refinances (including paying off a non-purchase 2nd mortgage) could result in a slightly higher interest rate.  The interest rates quoted are to serve as a guide only and may be different based on specific loan features.  Please call for a specific quote.</p>
<p>We CANNOT lock in an interest rate on a loan with a voicemail or email.  The customer MUST talk to the loan officer over the phone or in person before it can be confirmed.  The market changes too frequently.<br />
We recommend calling during business hours to make sure we have all the markets open and available.</p>
