It is a fact that low rate home equity loans can be an essential tool for the first time buyer of a new house. Home equity loans are usually considered to be classified as 2nd mortgages, because the home equity loan is often subordinate to your 1st mortgage using the remaining equity you have in your home for the new 2nd mortgage. This can save you a lot of money and really help your financial situation out in the short term and also inevitably in the long term.

The cost of financing a home purchase in the priciest areas in the US just got more expensive. At least the word based on the fact that Wells Fargo raised the interest rate on 30-year, fixed, non-conforming - otherwise known as “Jumbo” loans to 8 percent from around 6.9 percent. Oh and by the way, jumbos loans of more than $417,000 are capped by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

As an example, a $600,000 mortgage would be $4,403, compared to $3,942.

I have used this for years to find annuity prospects. For just a moment think about annuity sales and what comes to mind is the financial planner/estate planner/ certified senior advisor/ it just keeps going.

All those charts and new ways to explain how indexed annuities work and how much we all need to buy them. After awhile it becomes such a chore to compete with them and soon you will be looking for a simpler method to sell annuities. It seems to me the simpler method the better and I think most prospects feel the way I do…just show me the benefits and if it makes sense to me then I will buy the annuity.

The process of acquiring a home loan is exciting and the closing is the moment that everyone looks forward to. The closings of yesteryear, however, traditionally took place with an attorney present to provide for a witness to the signature and the witness of the loan documents at large.

While an attorney is the traditional and more commonly used facilitator of the signature, is he/she really necessary and what, in fact, does the attorney do for the closing?

The recent mortgage turmoil has many wondering about the impact on the economy, mortgage industry, and the real estate sector. As a landlord myself, I was curious to determine the affect of the market changes on the pool of tenants and future rental rates. For some answers, I went to a well respected mortgage broker, Steve Beecham, President of Hometown Mortgage in Alpharetta.

Steve is the former president of the Georgia Association of Mortgage Brokers, and his firm has been consistently in the top 10 mortgage brokers in volume in Georgia over the last four years.

Recently the Citizen’s Advice Bureau (CAB) has criticized the Mortgage lending industry for increasing the arrears problems for borrowers due to their arrears management processes. This was backed up by a string of case studies that the CAB had drawn up totalling over 1,200 people’s stories.

The report stated that mortgage lenders are too quick to seek court possession orders against borrowers and that they should negotiate with borrowers as this is a dangerous situation for them as many borrowers when backed into a corner are resorting to the upsurge of leaseback schemes that have resulted in borrowers becoming homeless due to this process.

Electrical safety in the home – is of prime importance, yet it is probably something that we give little thought to.

When you consider that every year around 6700 fires are reported as having an electrical source, you can see just how important electrical safety really is. This statistic includes fires started by faulty or inadequate wiring. Accidents involving electric shocks are also a cause of fatality and serious injury. Some 43 fatalities and 2900 serious injuries occur from electrical faults every year.

Fear stands for False Evidence Appearing Real! I don’t think we realize how much this can truly impact our personal and business life. I believe fear is the reason so may borrowers have called my office or met with me personally and been pre-approved for excellent mortgage programs, viewed several properties with their Realtors but have yet to move forward on actually signing a contract. And basically giving up on their dreams of homeownership!
