Curb Appeal Tips: How to Sell A Home Quick With Some Simple Curb Appeal Tips

Some times we come across properties that are in great condition,
and those are great, but more often in Real Estate you get properties
that in one way or another could use a little love…

Curb appeal is one of the most important factors in selling a home
fast. Buyers determine whether they like a house or not in the first
15 seconds.

And you know what they say… you never get a second chance
to make a first impression.

Many buyers are looking for flaws and if they see them  outside,
there is a good chance that the thought of what the  home looked
like is going to stick with them. Before they buy a home, the
buyers want to envision themselves living in the home.

Here are a few ideas that a home owner can use to make a huge
difference in selling the home but won’t break the budget.

 

• Swap out the old “Welcome” mat with a new one.

• Make sure that the doors are easy to open and they may want to paint them.

• Replace the porch lights and house numbers if they are broken or tarnished

• Add a nice bench or a couple of chairs on the porch, if you there is space available.

• Make sure the yard is manicured, weeds pulled and the shrubs are cut.

• Remove any cobwebs, dead plants, old mail etc

• Clean foggy and dirty windows

• Sweep the driveway and the entrance to the house.

Take a walk through the inside of the property and see what
the home needs. Some less expensive updates you can do to a
home is new lighting and replacing older mirrors in the
bath.

Make sure that the property smells clean and neutral. Get an
air-freshner and you could even wash or paint the interior walls
and ceilings. This will aid in keeping the home smelling fresh.

Cleaning the bathroom and kitchen counters will also assist
with making the home feel clean and smell fresh.

Take the time to do some of these quick cheap and easy
fixes that can help you sell a property quickly.

How to Show Income When Getting A Home Loan - Mortgage Loan Help

Buying a New Home or Condo has been gaining momentum amongst First Time Home Buyers, Rehab Property Flippers, and Buy and Hold Cash Flow Investors.

When Buying a Home or Condo, you will want to get your loan pre-qualified first. Part of getting your home loan pre-approved is showing your income and how much house you can afford.

Watch this quick video where I interview a top loan consultant to explain the process of how to show income when getting a home loan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O0PNruU4kU



To determine your maximum San Diego mortgage amount, lenders use guidelines called debt-to-income ratios. This is simply the percentage of your monthly income (before taxes) that is used to pay your monthly debts. Because there are two calculations, there is a "front" ratio and a "back" ratio and they are generally written in the following format: 33/38.

The front ratio is the percentage of your monthly income (before taxes) that is used to pay your housing costs, including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, and homeowners association fees (when applicable). The back ratio is the same thing, only it also includes your monthly consumer debt. Consumer debt can be car payments, credit card debt, installment loans, and similar related expenses. Auto or life insurance is not considered a debt.

These are just guidelines and they are flexible. If you make a larger down payment or have sterling credit, the guidelines are less rigid. The guidelines also vary according to loan program. FHA guidelines, VA guidelines, and Conventional Loan Guidelines all vary.

Whether you want to buy a high end home or a nice comfortable starter home, Oliver will be more than happy to assist you regardless of your budget.

How to Buy a House Step 1 "Get Prequalified for Your Loan" - Real Estate Mortgage Prequal

When Buying a Property many people ask, what is the first step, Should I Get Pre-Qualified for a Loan first?




The answer is Definitely Yes! Before you start looking to purchase a new home or condo, you should review your finances, discuss your home loan options, figure out how much you can afford, and get pre-qualified. Getting Pre-qualified is a simple process thatwill put you in a much better position because you will have the confidence to move forward with a purchase and it will give you significantly more negotiating power when purchasing.

What does it take to get pre-qualified for your loan? Not as much as you might think... With a short phone conversation, we can briefly review information about your employment, debts, income, and assets. We can also look at your credit profile, discuss your down payment options, and cover the different loan programs that can work for you.

Once you get pre-qualified, your loan officer will give you what's called a Pre-Qualification Letter. This letter states that, as your loan officer, they have reviewed your finances and can get you qualified for a loan up to a certain amount. The whole process is simple and to the point,the paperwork is kept to a minimum, and generally your loan officer can provide most clients with a "Pre Qual letter" within about 15 minutes.

Once pre-qualified then you can go out and find the home or condo that catches your eye. Once you and you decide on "the one", being pre-qualified for your mortgage will do a couple of things. First, it lets you know in advance how much you can offer. Second, your real estate agent(me) wil submit your mortgage prequalification letter with your offer so that the seller knows that a lender has reviewed your situation and that you can afford the home.

It puts you in the best possible position and gives you the most negotiating power when buying a house, so make sure you get qualified in advance.
