5 Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Professional

I saw this article from The KCM Blog and rang very true: 5 Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Professional
http://www.keepingcurrentmatters.com/2013/10/02/5-reasons-to-hire-a-real-estate-professional/

“The real estate market is a place where most people will make their largest investment ever. It is a place where fortunes can be, and often are, made. It is not a place, however, for you to ‘wing it’.

“While the myriad TV shows about real estate make the process look so simple – it’s not really that simple… they make it seem like all you need to do is slap a for sale by owner sign in the yard, have one open house with fresh flowers and fresh baked cookies and bam! SOLD! in one day….

“You need a professional, full time, well educated, ethical and trustworthy REALTOR to represent you whether buying or selling real estate.”

5-Reasons To Hire A Re Pro Image

In my 26 years working in Real Estate I can tell you that you’re better off hiring a Real Estate Pro. I know from first-hand experience the amount of paper work and negotiations you need to do to own a home is sometimes overwhelming to a Home Buyer. And beyond paperwork, there is the experience of being a RE Pro that you will want on your side.

I’m sharing this article with you in hopes to assist in your home buying experience. I’ve seen people try to go about buying a house without an Agent and usually it winds up in heart ache.

2014 is the Year of Hard Money Loans

 

2014 is the Year of Hard Money Loans from The Guy in the White Hat

Jpeg 2014 Is The Year Of Hard Money Loans From The Guy In The White HatHello,

Preview of coming attractions!  I will have a future, more exact  Blog on the recent changes to Hard Money lending – High Cost loans.  For now, I have taken all in stride and will continue to promote Hard Money loans that fully conform to all the changes. 

Most of the changes impact Owner Occupied loans and none are horrible.  Some key things that will be different in my Owner Occupied Program…  1.  All Borrowers have to do Credit Counseling through an approved agency before the loan can fund.  2.  The loans cannot have balloon payments.  I propose a 15 year that is interest only for the first 7 years and fully amortizes over the remaining 8 years.  3.  They cannot have prepayment penalties.  4.  Late fee maximum is 4% after 15 days.

I’ve listed below recent Hard Money loans financed through my office and hope these give you a better idea as to how I can help you and/or your clients. I will keep the loans coming!

Best,

Broker

INVESTORS AND “HARD MONEY” LOANS

 

LENDER’S VIEWPOINT

By Owner

There was a really good article in the Wall Street Journal last week about Hard Money loans. It was informational to borrowers and investors alike. It spoke of the fact that Hard Money loans will account for 1% of the 5.5 million home loans originated this year, up sharply from prior years.

The Article features a Dallas attorney who has doing Hard Money loans as a “side business”.

He believes that originating home loans in the current environment, when many economists believe housing is at or near the bottom, is less risky than putting money in the “volatile stock market or opaque bond market.”

He states further “I can’t drive by and look at those stocks and bonds.” Plus, he says, investing in residential real estate earns “passive income that doesn’t require much work from me.”

The interest rate paid on these investments can be anywhere from 9% to 14% with 12% being fairly typical. They can be a first or second mortgage ranging in size from $30,000 to $1,000,000 or larger with a term of from 6 months to 7 years or more. These loans are secured by land, 1 to 4 unit residential, 5+ unit residential (deemed commercial), office buildings, strip centers, large commercial, etc.

The main qualification for a borrower is: 1. Equity or a good down payment and 2. Ability to repay the loan. If they do not make payments, they could forfeit the property that was the security for the loan to the investor.
