    This will be specifically about FHA loans, but when it comes to mortgages in general, you really need to speak to a qualified loan officer. This is not to throw realtors or anyone else under the bus, but you should be very careful in where you get your answers. Even if that realtor or someone other than a loan officer says, “well, this is what I heard from my loan officer.” Still, speak to that loan officer directly. Things can still get twisted or confused when passing along information. And yes, there can be an argument that some loan officers don’t even know what they are doing, hence why you need to be selective. Just recently I read a question from a borrower on Trulia that asked : “My wife and I are buying a home together. It will be her second time buying a home and my first...

  I am taking Jennifer Prestwich's challenge of doing 31 one things in 31 days.  Are you up for a Challenge? 31 Days of December Challenge What do you have to do?  Do 1 thing per day that would further your business.  This might be a blog post, Facebook note, tweet, text, phone call or email.  It could be a newsletter, event, or postcard. In my opinion, you should be doing this many times a day, besides your normal business, if it were showing homes or doing mortgage applications. Keeping in front of people daily is marketing and branding. But in my opinion, don't spam yourself, do it naturally and genuinely.     Day 3 - 12/3/10 I received a potential client a few days ago who is trying to purchase a home in Florida. We can do loans in Florida, but time is of the essence. I needed someo...

    Why do many advertise. To make money, right?  You have to spend money to make money. But are some ads deceptive or misleading? You betcha. What about the little giveaways or gimmicks offered when people advertise? Aren't they spending more money on top of the money that they are spending on their advertising?  There is a very large company that does tax returns who also has a mortgage division advertising on t.v. now. If you close on a loan prior to December 31st, 2010, you will be entered into a contest. The winner will have their mortgage paid off up to $250,000. WOW....   In my opinion, it just shows that they make some decent money off of their clients. They have call centers set up, and in my opinion, many of the loan officers are just of average nature. Yes, bait and switch ta...

  More the reason why you need to speak to a knowledgeable professional loan officer     With mortgage interest rates being so low, you would think many people are refinancing. And one would think that more would be doing FHA streamline refinances, because it should be so easy, hence the name streamline. Sorry to sound negative, but no and no, for many reasons. There is also a mortgage myth, aka mortgage rumor, that FHA streamlines are cheaper than regular FHA loans. A complete lie. I just had a potential borrower that was told this. Yes, there are some lenders that advertise that FHA streamlines are quick with no costs. But mortgage alert, FHA streamlines are the same price. I talk to other loan officers from all over about this and they agree 100%. It just comes down to the type of sa...

  "HOUSTON, we have a major problem with all of these homes upside down"  "People need to put more money down!!!"   Just the other day, a borrower asked this question on Trulia. What is the difference/advantages between other FHA loan lenders and the lenders approved for the NJ First-Time Homebuyer Program ? Response by a realtor : "it is probably not wise to buy a house with 3% down anyway. In my opinion, putting 3.5% down is akin to no down payment at all, and that is what got the housing market into trouble in the first place, among other things. Putting 3% down in a declining market will leave you upside down in a few months."   STOP - It's an opinion, but I think it's a horrible opinion.       So Mr. Realtor, you are saying if I put 10% down, then it would have saved many homes fro...

    FHA loans & their misconceptions/myths     The number one myth - FHA loans are more expensive than conventional loans!! - FALSE -     Protection of your family & home purchase will always be with a loan officer with knowledge & integrity… not telling you what you want to hear to make a sale!!       PS… this might be a tad long & boring, but worth it if you are buying/refinancing a home.       I received this e-mail from a borrower yesterday buying in WA. Here are some parts of his e-mail. Borrower #1 "My real estate agent simply told me there would be more closing cost if I chose FHA, which I don't think true." A major gripe of mine. When comparing a FHA loan to a conventional loan, you need to compare apples to apples. The only difference would be the upfront mortgage insurance pre...
