F.T.H.B. “First Time Home Buyer” How to be a Savvy Buyer in a Volatile Market
The Standard Four Questions: • What is the Value of the Home? • What is the Condition of the Home? • How Much Are You going to Investing? • What is the Re-Sale ability of the Home? Always Get Pre-Qualified First to Know Your Buying Power and Ability!!!
What Does It All Mean? HUD – Banks can not sell the home and Request the MIP (default insurance) to settle for % of balance owing and they are then responsible to sell the home. Foreclosure - Seller No Longer Occupies the Home and No Longer has any Interest/Ownership. REO/Short Sale - Bank Negotiates with Current Seller and New Buyer (3 Parties)
Costs Associated with Buying a Home Down Payment (Cash investment into the transaction) Pre-Paids (Earnest Money, Appraisal, Inspection and Warranty) Closing Costs and Escrows (Fees to get the Loan as well as Taxes and Insurances)
Seller Paid Concessions Pre – Paids (Taxes, Insurances and Interest) Lender Fees Appraisal Fee Title Fees
You Could Even Get Back What Your Pre-Paid Deposits! REFUND!
