Can I Sell My Private Mortgage Notes?
In this country millions of homes are sold every year. In
most cases buyers go to a bank or finance company to seek mortgage
financing.
How to Prequalify a Buyer When You Sell Your Home By Owner
Before we get to the math there are a few terms you should
understand. The first is PITI which is nothing more than an
abbreviation for "principal, interest, taxes and insurance.
This figure represents the MONTHLY cost of the mortgage payment
of principal and interest plus the monthly cost of property
taxes and homeowners insurance. The second term is "RATIO".
The ratio is a number that most banks use as an indicator of
how much of a buyers monthly GROSS income they could afford
to spend on PITI. Still with me? Most banks use a ratio of
28% without considering any other debts (credit cards, car payments
etc.). This ratio is sometimes referred to as the "front end
ratio". When you take into consideration other monthly debt,
a ratio of 36-40% is considered acceptable. This is referred
to as the "back end ratio".
Purchasing Property With No Money Down: My Personal Experience
Have you ever seen those infomercials about buying houses
with ?No Money Down?? They are really well done. They have all
kinds of people offering great testimonials about how they have
gotten rich, buying rental properties, with absolutely no money
out of their pocket. You see this guy, standing on a street
corner, talking to someone, and he says, ?I own that one,? pointing
to a beautiful colonial. ?I also own that one next to it, and
the one two doors down, and I?ll be closing on the one directly
across the street from it, next week.? He then assures us that
he has purchased 17 homes in the last eight or ten months, with
zero money down on the properties. Plus, in many cases he?s
also paid no closing costs.
Budgeting Your Log Home: Where Do You Start?
The Log home industry has matured these last many years,
but there is still a lot of confusion about how much a log home
costs. Naturally, everyone wants to know the cost of the log
package; however, the budgeting only starts here. If you are
shopping for a milled log package (as opposed to hand-crafted,
which is a totally different category), the difference between
one manufacturer's price and another is minimal when compared
to the total cost of the structure. Here are some reasons why:

How to Price Your Property?
A house properly priced is half sold. But there are plenty
of ways to price it improperly.. * You can't go by what you
paid for the place. Perhaps you bought two years ago when local
prices were skyrocketing, and things have cooled off since.
Perhaps houses like yours can now be bought for less, and if
you hold out for what you paid, you'll just waste your time..
On the other hand, perhaps prices in your area have taken off,
and you'd short-change yourself if you just tried to "get my
money out" (but you'd have a fast sale.). * You can't go by
how much you've spent on improvements. A given street will support
only a given price range. If you've invested so much that yours
would be the most expensive house on the street, the buying
public is not likely to reimburse you.. * You can't go by your
tax assessment figure. Even in communities that aim at full-value
assessments, the figures are almost never in line with what
buyers are currently ready to pay.. So how do you price your
house?. By putting yourself in a buyer's shoes.. What else is
for sale in the area? How does it compare with your house? How
long has it been on the market? What has sold recently, and
how much did the buying public value it at? What has failed
to sell in the past year?. Any good broker can furnish the data
you need, often in the form of a chart known as a CMA, Comparative
Market Analysis. . And once you have it, again think like a
buyer. What price would it take for you to look at a list and
say to an agent "Take me to see that one"?.

How Do I Implement The Lease Purchase Plan?
Well, as we have discussed in previous newsletters first
you have to set up goals for yourself, both long term and short
term. Don?t forget these goals define how your business is run.
They will determine what you do on a daily, weekly and monthly
basis. The best way to do this is to picture yourself a year
down the road. Close your eyes and get a mental picture of where
you want to be, what you want to have, how you want to look,
then open your eyes and write all that down on paper or speak
into a voice recorder.
How I Became a Real Estate Investor
Recently I closed on the sale of two homes. They were located
about a mile apart and had comparable market values. However,
beyond these two similarities, the two deals were very different
from each other. Let me discuss in more detail the similarities
and differences of the two deals.
