Increase Your Wealth While Paying Your Mortgage

April 30, 2019

Increase Your Wealth While Paying Your Mortgage

Home ownership is a unique opportunity to use housing costs to build wealth over time.  

The NAR (National Association of Realtors) recently published a report which broke down the equity gained from appreciation and principal payments.  According to this report, homeowners who purchased their home five years ago realized an 80% gain in appreciation alone. In California that amounts to a significant growth in one’s financial well-being.

Your home is one of the only investments you can live in as you pay it off.  Recently, we have seen significant growth in equity wealth. Even though this phenomenon may be slowing somewhat, especially in California it remains one of the easiest ways to accumulate and gain financial security.  

In 2006, we saw that people unwisely used their homes as ATMs.  They purchased new cars, boats, and lavish vacations. We saw how that ended, and it appears that we have learned our lesson.  Today cashed-out equity is being used for less frivolous reasons, like consolidating debt or for college tuition. Most of us are counting on this wealth to supplement our retirement income.

If you have been hesitant about refinancing your home or getting into real estate investments because of qualifying concerns, there is hope for you!  Hard money loans may just be the answer you are seeking. Sun Pacific Mortgage offers several programs which can benefit your investment issues and allow you to start on your journey toward wealth and financial stability.  Call us at 707-523-2099 to discuss your first steps.

Spring Is in The Air For Housing

April 16, 2019

Spring Is In The Air For Housing

As Spring arrives, the housing market is looking considerably more buyer-friendly compared to a year ago.  The inventory shortage of homes we have witnessed has decreased, and higher inventories are driving price cuts.  

According to Realtor.com, inventories have increased by an average of 6% year over year. Markets with some of most impressive numbers include:

  • San Jose up 125%,
  • San Francisco up 53%,
  • San Diego up 36%,
  • Los Angeles up 26%,  
  • Sacramento up 16%.

The median list price rose 7% year over year in February, but prices are showing signs of cooling.  Thirty-nine of fifty largest housing markets saw an increase in price cuts in February. In California, San Jose with 9% and San Francisco with 5% led the way in price reductions.

All in all, this information bodes well for buyers looking to invest in real estate in 2019.  It appears that the real estate market has begun to turn the corner from a sellers’ market to a buyers’ market.

If you would like to participate in this wealth generating opportunity, but cannot qualify for a conventional loan, give us a call at 707-523-2099.  We are here to help with poor credit, fast loans, big loans, and everything in between.

How To Minimize Your Real Estate Tax Obligations

April 4, 2019

How To Minimize Your Real Estate Tax Obligations

“How can you best minimize your tax obligation under the new laws if you plan to purchase a home?”. This was one of the questions addressed in a recent article from House Logic, a National Association of Realtors publication.  It offered some very helpful information regarding tax-savvy home-buying, which is worth sharing because most people are concerned with the new tax laws and how they affect real estate investments.  

The new limit on allowable tax-deductible mortgage and property tax for a primary residence is $750,000.  Yearly, you can only write off the interest you pay up to this cap if you have taken out your loan after December 17, 2017.  If you have an older loan and you itemize, you can keep deducting your mortgage interest debt up to $1 million.

For those living in California, since finding a lower priced home is not always doable or desirable, another option suggested is to make a larger down payment, this way your mortgage doesn’t exceed the $750,000 cap.

Other one-time home purchase costs that are still tax deductible are closing costs, including real estate taxes charged to you when you close, mortgage interest paid when you settle, and some loan origination fees (points) applicable to a mortgage of $750,000 or less.  It should be noted that you will only want to itemize them if all your deductions total more than the standard deduction.

As always, any questions regarding your taxes should be answered by a professional tax preparer or your CPA.  This article is intended to enlighten you on just a few points included in the new tax law, which might significantly affect your real estate investments.

If you’re looking to refinance or invest in additional properties, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099.  We are here to support borrowers unable to qualify for a conventional loan. As a hard money lender, we have helped thousands with less- than- perfect credit and those needing fast, cash-like loans.  If you have enough funding for a down payment and can prove you are capable of repaying the loan, you are a good candidate for our lending programs.

Loan of The Week – It Takes A Village

Loan Of The Week – It Takes A Village

Hard Money Saves The Day.

A busy Mortgage Lender contacted us to help rescue a distressed client who was trying to do a refinance on her house in Marin County.  She needed some additional capital for her business but was unable to get a conventional loan due to being self-employed with difficult-to-prove income.

In less than 2 weeks, our Hard Money program allowed us to do the desired $500K loan against her property that she owned free & clear!

This provided her with enough cash to do debt consolidation with her business and some needed improvements to her commercial office. Both referring Mortgage Lender and Borrower were very happy.

Call us at 707-523-2099 with your scenarios. We work with many Real Estate and Mortgage Brokers, helping Buyers and Borrowers get that all-mighty big green hard money loan they are looking for!

Production Is The Basis Of Morale

March 21, 2019

Sun Pacific Mortgage Real Estate

Hopefully this will remind you too, that bad news can stop you in your tracks. And this can’t be good for your business!

Sorry, we are going down memory lane…our kids house burnt down in the October 2017 fires here in Santa Rosa. We have been looking back on how we weathered that event, when local businesses and production went on a sudden standstill. But there were those home town heroes who jumped right into production and started helping.

This past Sunday we drove Coffee Park and were amazed at the action going on there!

It reminded us that bad news stops you in your tracks. The mind thinks, “why bother, all is so bad….”.

The cure for that is out-creating “the norm” and producing – like the workers are doing all over Coffee Park and Fountain Grove! You immediately feel better and want to help.

 

To Our Home Town Heroes – Thank You!!

 

We know that getting back to work and producing makes one feel better. Here are some examples of local heroes who are doing just this, out-creating any imagined “miserableness” of conditions:

– All throughout Coffee Park are rebuilt houses newly occupied, houses being built by-the-dozen with workers working (on a Sunday!). Neighbors outside and helping or talking to each other. It was great to see!

– Driving around on Saturday revealed so many open houses, street corner after street corner with Open House signs. A lot of Realtors working over the weekend to show the multitudes of houses for sale!

– Tight teamwork being done between professionals: A Realtor, Insurance agent and ourselves as the Hard Money lender to get fire-survivors a fast loan. They wanted to make a strong offer to buy a new home right away, while their lot was being sold as they were done with renting.

Don’t hesitate to call us at 707-523-2099 or email us back with any questions or scenarios. We are working every day to keep getting loans funded and escrows closed fast!

 

Best, Lynn & Owner – Owners of Sun Pacific Mortgage

PS: Our kids, Broker and Loan Originator, got their foundation rebuilt and the framing has begun. Hopefully by end of year they will have a new home. Exciting!
