How to Keep Your Mortgage Approval
2008-05-05 01:37:00
Just because you have your mortgage approval letter does not mean you will be able to close on your home purchase. What happens after your mortgage approval may affect your eligibility. As a WNY buyer you need to remember that a mortgage is conditionally approved, with the lender reserving the right to re-verify credit, income, assets and employment at anytime. The lender may cancel the loan if there are any adverse changes to your qualification status. So what would affect your Mortgage Approval? Debt-to-Income Ratio Lenders consider debt-to-income ratio when approving you for a mortgage loan. Only 28 percent of your income can be used for your mortgage payment, which includes taxes and insurance; and 36 percent for the mortgage payment plus the rest of your debt. If you do not conform to those lending guidelines, you risk your mortgage approval. Read Also: Calculate your debt-to-income ratio What’s Your Debt-To-Income Ratio?

What Should WNY Sellers Disclose to Home Buyers?
2008-04-28 13:23:00
By law, real estate professionals cannot fill out any sellers’ home disclosures unless the agent is the seller or a party to the transaction. If your agent can’t tell you, ask a lawyer if you need to sign every disclosure handed you. Every state has its own laws regarding disclosures, so the forms will be different. A federal disclosure such as Lead-Based Paint is required for all transactions if the home was built before 1978.   Chances are in most areas of Western New York you will need this form. What should I disclose? Material Facts are commonly referred to as anything that would affect the buyer’s decision to purchase or the price and terms the buyer offers. In other words, if you have knowledge about a defect, it should be disclosed.  If a seller discloses something to me and chose to withhold this information from the buyer, I would have had to disclose it because now I had knowledge of a material fact. Part of this includes any repairs or enhancements...

Earnest Money Deposit on your new WNY home purchase
2008-04-24 06:01:00
When you write an offer to purchase your Western New York dream home you will place an “earnest money” deposit. This deposit shows the seller that you’re serious about the offer to purchase the property.  The amount of earnest money deposit varies based on the type of property being purchased. The sales contract will dictate who holds the earnest money. Usually the seller’s real estate agent will deposit the earnest money in a trust or escrow account until closing. At closing, the earnest money is applied to the purchase price. In the event the sale doesn’t close, the sales agreement generally spells out the conditions under which you would forfeit the earnest money. Generally if the seller meets all the terms of the contract, the seller will keep the earnest money. If the seller does not meet the terms of the contract, you, as the buyer, may receive a total or partial refund of the earnest money. Interested in purchasing a WNY Home ?   Call me today ...
