Many Americans in these challenging times are now seeking viable alternative paths to homeownership.  "Seller financed homes", "owner-will-carry" and "lease-options" certainly offer alternative paths for homeownership during these difficult times. With the high rate of foreclosures and even higher short sales, a lot of prior homeowners who may have missed some payments may doubt their ability to acquire a new home using conventional financing.  Additionally, with the high rate of job losses, reduced work hours, furloughs, and other reduction in household income, many doubt their ability to obtain a home through traditional forms of financing.    Despite these challenges, the desire to own a home versus renting a home is still a very strong desire amongst would-be home buyers.  These eco... 11/18/2010

Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow  and we must turn our clocks back one hour on November 7th.  The big question is "what to do" with this precious extra one-hour, 60 minutes, 3,600 seconds!  Do we enjoy much needed shut-eye of recuperative sleep with this extra hour? Do we desire a mid-course correction so we spend the extra hour strategizing for a "do-over" in a challenging economic climate? Do we need the slate wiped clean thus spend the hour looking for the proverbial "reset button"? Do we suddenly realize that we have ample new opportunities all around us to realize some of our fondest dreams? What can we really achieve in 1 hour or 60 minutes or 3600 seconds?  Consider the following one-hour historic feats! •1.    Walking on the moon •2.    Winning or losing most wars •3.    Elec... 11/06/2010

You wouldn’t ask your dentist to review your taxes, and you wouldn’t ask your accountant to fill your cavity – so why would you listen to the media when it comes to one of the biggest financial decisions of your life? So, “Is the media correct when predicting the real estate market?”  I believe the answer is NO. Someone once told me that the media predicted 5 of the last 3 depressions… in other words, negativity &; controversy sells, so that’s what the media will promote. They make everyone so nervous that in the end, it actually comes true – it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whom should you listen to in regards to the real estate market? THE PROFESSIONALS! You should be listening to licensed Realtors &; mortgage brokers in the area that you’re interested in purchasing. We live &; ... 10/23/2010

When a mortgage becomes unaffordable, avoiding foreclosure becomes a primary goal. It is a unique situation that adjusts priorities and changes perspectives. For the millions of homeowners unable to make their mortgage payments today, there are alternatives to foreclosure that can lead to an entirely different, more positive financial outcome.  One of the leading solutions to foreclosure today is a short sale. In a short sale, the lender agrees to accept the sale amount, even if it is less than what is owed on the mortgage. In this report, you’ll see how the consequences of foreclosure compare to those of a short sale. As a CDPE-designated agent, I have been extensively trained in the alternatives to foreclosure and can help you make an informed decision.Our goal is to help you get your... 09/24/2010
