myriad of other FHA pluses to help you consider buying a home, but if you're looking to buy, the FHA Modernization Act has brought FHA back to the forefront."  In this post Larry details 7 things every home buyer needs to know about FHA loans.</p> <div>Via <b><a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/2473166/7-things-every-buyers-needs-to-know-about-fha-loans-">Larry Bettag - Cherry Creek Mortgage</a></b>:<br><blockquote> <p><img title="After All - Every Borrower Needs to Consider the $$$" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/7/4/0/9/ar131430038690471.jpg" height="342" alt="After All - Every Borrower Needs to Consider the $$" width="302">FHA mortgages are the best thing out there. Now representing over 40% of the market in this economy, this once dinasour of a program that was thought to be near extinction is now the buzz for most home buyers. What does FHA give you as a homebuyer?</p> <ol> <li> <strong><span>The loan is assumable.</span></strong> If you want to, when you sell your home, you can get your mortgage to be assumed by future homebuyers. If rates climb to 9% and the rate your in is 4.5%, you can have your mortgage be assumed by a future homebuyer;</li> <li> <strong><span>Gifts are still allowed for downpayments</span></strong>. No other program is as agressive in getting buyers into loans. Conventional loans require a minimum of 3% of the buyer's own funds to be invested into the purchase. No so with FHA. FHA allows gifts for the entire downpayment.</li> <li> <strong><span>Non-occupant co-borrowers</span></strong> - are allowed. The primary borrower doesn't even need to qualify by their own merits. I see this a lot for parents who want to buy a home and have their college child live in it during their schooling;</li> <li> <strong><span>Non-traditional credit.</span></strong> FHA has a manual called the 4155. The 4155 specifically says "the lack of credit is not sufficient reason to deny a borrower." That means that even if you don't have credit you still have the opportunity to buy a home. You'll never find this with a conventional loan;</li> <li> <strong><span>Credit in general</span></strong> - FHA allows for manual underwriting and automated underwriting. That means that if your credit is less than stellar, that, in and of itself will not bar you from obtaining a loan.</li> <li> <strong><span>Appraisals</span></strong> - Appraisals have been streamlined to look more like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. What does that mean to you? You won't have all of the headaches that you initially would have in order to get an appraisal approved. A lot less conditions for appraisals;</li> <li> <strong><span>Increased loan limits</span></strong> - FHA has raised the county loan limits nationally. Those of you who thought your loan was too big to refinance....that's not the case anymore. With expanded loan limits, this just might be perfect.

Crickets were kept for one of two reasons: for their song or, more commonly, for fighting. Cricket fighting was a past-time pursued by people of various classes, including wealthy merchants and the social elite. Affluent cricket-keeping enthusiasts commissioned very high quality cages and implements. The finest cricket-keeping objects demonstrate an ingenious combination of function and aesthetics.”</span></span></p> <p><span><span>For more information, visit the Museum website:</span></span></p>

href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/2983430/a-plethora-of-misinformation-always-makes-for-interesting-discussions">Cindy Jones-Northern Virginia Real Estate & Military Relocation Services (CJ Realty Group, Inc.)</a></b>:<br><blockquote> <p><img title="A Plethora of Misinformation-Hot Button" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/5/9/7/8/ar133047513487959.jpg" height="262" alt="Hot Button" width="250">One great thing about social media is when inaccurate information surfaces you quickly recognize your own and fellow agent's hot buttons.<br><br>Even though it's still early in the week two of my hot buttons have been hit and by the reaction of a few other agents who also have seen the information, theirs have as well.   The first was a blog post written by an agent (I won't include a link) stating that a veteran or active duty military member would lose their benefits if they completed a short sale or foreclosure.  Say what?<br><br>A veteran or military member who completes a VA Compromise sale will lose a portion of their future VA Loan Benefits.  Per the VA:  "Should VA agree to pay the difference between the sales proceeds and the total debt to complete the compromise sale process, the portion of the homeowner’s entitlement used to guaranty his loan will remain tied up until VA is reimbursed in full."  This is the only benefit a veteran or active duty service member will lose.  It's not their retirement pay, their medical benefits or any other benefit they are entitled to by law.  A sweeping statement that states a they will lose their benefits forever is scary and wrong.<br><br>The second piece of information is that a short sale or foreclosure automatically means the loss of a security clearance.  Apparently this information is being taught in CDPE classes throughout the country.  Living in the Washington DC area, where security clearances are a big deal it helps to review the rulings from the <a href="http://www.dod.mil/dodgc/doha/" title="DOHA Website">Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals</a> (DOHA) clarifying how a short sale or foreclosure may be viewed.</p> <p><em>"Twenty-two administrative judge decisions dealing with foreclosures and short sales were reviewed, where clearances were granted and not appealed. These were examined to see what facts were sufficient to meet the initial challenge of convincing an Administrative Judge while at the same time were sufficient to satisfy Department Counsel not to appeal. The common thread in all of these cases is that: (1) applicants were victims of circumstances not of their own doing; (2) they had not been speculators in the housing market who were caught when the bubble burst; (3) they had not succumbed to fraudulent schemes “too good to be true” as a result of their own greed; and (4) they had made good faith efforts to meet their other debts after the loss of their homes by foreclosure or short sale."</em></p> <p>I'm not going to tell someone that their security clearance is not in jeopardy if they undertake a short sale or their home goes to foreclosure. At the same time I'm also not going to make a blanket statement that you will for a fact lose your clearance.  I have a former short sale client who is employed in a Top Secret Clearance position in the government and another who works for a government contractor with a security clearance.  What both of those individuals made sure they did was talk to the appropriate personnel in their offices before they started the short sale process and kept them apprised of what was happening. </p> <p>It's important for all of us, myself included, to make sure we do as much fact checking as possible before we post a blog.  The very same people we are trying to help could be hurt by wrong information.</p> <p> </p> <p><span class="commentBody"><span class="text_exposed_show"> <a href="http://www.sheldoncohen.com/publications/Article"><span><br></span></a></span></span></p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p>                No Hassle-No Pressure-Just Straight Talk About The Northern Virginia Real Estate Market</p> <span>If you are interested in learning more about the Northern Virginia Real Estate market including Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William Counties give Cindy Jones and CJ Realty Group, Inc a call at 703-346-2213.<span>  <br><br>Military Relocation Specialist serving military families relocating to and from the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, Quantico MCB and all of the Military District of Washington installations.  </span><br><br></span>Check out <a href="http://www.varealestatetalk.com/"><em>www.varealestatetalk.com</em></a> and <a href="http://www.cjrealtygroup.com/"><em>www.cjrealtygroup.com </em></a>for more information. <p class="MsoNormal"><span><em><span><span><br></span></span></em></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/cjrealtygroup" title="CJRealtyGroup on Facebook"><img title="CJRealty Group on Facebook" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/6/8/2/6/ar128624355362861.png" height="115" alt="CJRealty Group on Facebook" width="130"></a><img title="Welcome to CJ Realty Group" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/4/2/9/1/ar128715968419243.png" height="115" alt="Welcome to CJ Realty Group" width="133"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/cjrealtygroup" title="Follow CJ Realty Group on Twitter"><img title="Follow Me on Twitter" src="../..http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/7/9/9/4/ar128624363749976.png" height="115" alt="Follow Me On Twitter" width="141"></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Licensed in Virginia</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span><br> <br> </span></em></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/cjrealtygroup" title="CJRealtyGroup"><br></a></p> </div> </blockquote> </div> <div class="agent_signature"> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/1/6/5/1/ar128171297815612.png" height="96" alt="" width="121"></p> <p><span>We want to be YOUR REALTOR®<span>  </span></span></p> <p><span><strong><span>Contact Shirley</span></strong><span> <strong>Parks</strong></span><span> with Sands Realty at 210-414-0966 or email <a href="mailto:shirley@shirleyparks.com"><span>shirley@shirleyparks.com</span></a>.</span></span></p> <p> <span><span>Search for homes: </span><a href="http://www.shirleyparks.com/"><span>www.shirleyparks.com</span></a></span></p> <p> <span><span>We serve all of San Antonio, including the cities of Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Shavano Park, Hollywood Park, Hill Country Village, Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Schertz, Cibolo, Converse, Universal City.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>We serve ALL neighborhoods, including Stone Oak, Encino Park, Cibolo Canyons, Rogers Ranch, Sonoma Ranch, Steubing Ranch, Canyon Springs, Alamo Ranch, Champions, Stonewall Ranch, The Dominion, and more.</span></span></p> <p> <span><span>We speak Spanish. S<span class="hps">e habla</span> <span class="hps">español.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><br></em></p> </div> Shirley Parks, Broker 210-414-0966 San Antonio TX Homes for Sale (Sands Realty 210-414-0966) Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:08:41 -0800 http://shirleysellssanantonio.com/post/2983895/a-plethora-of-misinformation-always-makes-for-interesting-discussions http://shirleysellssanantonio.com/post/2823182/military-discounts-for-active-reserve-and-retired-vets Military Discounts for Active, Reserve, and Retired Vets <p>Here is a great list of military discounts for active, reserve, and retired military veterans via Anita Clark.  Note:  I read that Home Depot only gives discounts to disabled vets but Lowe's gives discounts to all vets.  </p> <p>Remember to show your military or retired ID.
