Real Estate Financing...

It's not a bad time to buy a home ... seriously.

First Time Homebuyers!
We have answers to your home loan questions. Before you start hitting the streets looking for your first home, allow us to help you get pre-approved and make sure you understand the home loan process.

How much home can I afford? Many experts suggest that your monthly payment not exceed 30% of your total income. Ask me to pre-qualify you for a loan amount that works best for you. I work off the Sleep Principle, regardless of what you can afford in a Lender's eyes, I want to make sure you can go to bed at night and sleep tight ... not worrying on how you'll be able to make that next mortgage payment.

What are closing costs? There are a variety of costs needed to fund a loan and purchase a home. We can let you know about all of these expenses up-front.

What does Loan-to-Value mean? This is the amount you are able to borrow on a home 100% financing means you can get a loan for 100% of the value of the home or the sales price, lesser of the two. Please note, unless you are a Veteran, that product no longer exists. If you want to buy a home, you need money. Right now, you'll need at least 3% down if you meet those qualifying guidelines. Needing money to buy a home? Strange concept, I know:-) It's a pretty darn good time to buy though, you have cheap money available (low interest rates) and a large inventory of homes on the market. Don't necessarily look for a steal, yet if you get one... GREAT! Look for something that you can call Home.

What are points? A point is equal to 1% of your total mortgage loan. Some borrowers choose to buy down interest rates by paying more points up-front. I'll write a post very soon on how we, on the mortgage end, make our money. Of note, if you see anything resembling a 'free loan' that's called a grant. This isn't a non-profit gig, we have mouths to feed and bills to pay. If it's a loan, folks are making money off of it. That's not a bad thing, I'm just saying...

These are just a few of the questions you may have about the home loan process. Call me today to get the most out of your home loan experience.

Jason,

Preapprovals are so important when shopping for a home...To search without a preapproval is like sightseeing without a car!!! Thanks,   Fran

That is soooo you lil bro. Wonderful presentation for your services!

Jason.... som good, basic points.  The consumer just needs to know the facts and what everything stands for, and not just broken promises to get them in door....  yet, consumers need to pay attention to and use common sense at times.

I love the new look and I didn't even know that V-Flyer could do more than post a flyer for a house. This looks awesome and it sure catches your attention.

Now, the information is also amazing and I have to wonder, have you also posted this on Craiglist under services?

Jason, I really liked your "Sleep" priciple.  A true guide on how to do sales. AJ

Jason, another well crafted Vflyer with focus, FAQ, and a call to action to you and your firm. When I have created informational sheets in the past your layout is how I like to do it as well. Just the facts and the contact information. If you create these by different category of those you lend to you could just hand them out. Very impressive!!

Jason - Cute flyer - especially like the part of making sure the buyer is able to sleep at night : -)

Posted by Guilford Connecticut Real Estate Agent, Sandra Cummings (William Raveis Real Estate) about 1 year ago

Jason -  Great advice. Even better flyer.....  very clean and simple to read...

Is there a trend on AR as to who the survivors may be??? Same old names plugging along over and over.....  we all make it through this we should have a convention  :-)

Posted by Lewis Poretz - Mortgage Marketing Expert about 1 year ago

Jason, as always good advice...I, like others, like the way you use the VFlyer for posts!

Posted by Lake Norman Real Estate ~ Diane Aurit (LKN Realty, LLC) about 1 year ago

Jason:  GREAT advice and oh-so-true!  I only WISH I had more to invest and I'd be buying a property a month until this all blows over!  And, I love the VFlyer!  Great idea!
