Lately, I have been getting more and more questions from borrowers about their mortgage options for a duplex, triplex, or fourplex (owner occupied); and I think I know why...it's a no-brainer! I've even considered buying one myself. Think of the advantages...      - You get help with the mortgage payments and can pay the mortgage off sooner     - You can use the rental income on your loan application to help with the loan approval (75% of the average rent for the unit)     - You live right next door to your tenants making your job as a landlord much easier     - You can enlist the tenants help with the yardwork For those of you that are interested in buying a multi-unit property and plan to live in one of the units, here are some financing options...  -FHA Mortgage: FHA has a great adva...

In the past, if you needed a mortgage for a condo or townhome, the lender would allow a borrower to get a loan with the insurance that the HOA provided and didn't require a supplemental policy.  This "blanket policy" usually covered the entire project and it usually only covered the exterior of the building and not the interior. For example, if the unit burnt down, the insurance would pay to rebuild the structure of the building but the condo owner would have to pay for the interior (e.g. sheetrock, cabinetry, floorings, etc.). It has always been recommended that condo owners get this extra coverage for the interior but it was never required.  That is all changing however and now lenders are starting to require that extra policy to insure the interior (all of my insurance agent friends ...

One of the most frustrating things for potential buyers entering the home buying experience is that they can't get hold of a Realtor to show them the homes they want to see. Let's be honest, today's home shopping experience involves getting a very good idea of what you are interested in looking at by viewing online real estate listings.  At this point in the home buying process, buyers don't usually realize the convenience and importance of using a buyers agent. One agent who will represent the buyer through the entire home buying process. I get calls all the time from people who say they've tried talking to several different Realtors, none of who answered their phones. I'm usually pretty good about answering my phone, but occasionally I am sleeping, out of service area, or left my cell...

These luxury homes have some of the best views in the valley, and they aren't cheap.  Views include a great shot of First Dam, which sits just below Cliffside on the east side.

Lundstrom park is home to some of the best summer activities here in the Cache Valley area. If your family is into having fun then buying a home near Lundstrom Park in Logan Utah could be the right place for you.  The Lundstrom park area in Logan UT is close to Utah State University, and Logan Golf and Country Club. The area is just south of Logan Canyon, and North of the Univiersity. I have sold a lot of homes in the Lundstrom park area to college professors, college students, and investors. They all loved the location, which is probably Lundstrom's best quality. The location is spectacular. You will be close to town, but in a small neighborhood. You are close to First Dam to go swimming, fishing, and hiking with the family in the summer months. And you are close enough to the golf cou...

I believe that one of the worst things a loan officer can do is advise a borrower whether to lock or float. The loan officer that participates in this practice will almost always lose. Sure they might guess correctly a few times but ultimately this practice will come back to bite them in the butt. Predicting mortgage rates is kind of like trying to time the stock market, and nobody can ever time it perfectly. Instead of pretending to predict interest rates for their borrowers, good loan officers present the borrowers with the various options of floating vs locking for 15, 30, 45, 60 days, etc. and do so in such a way that the borrowers fully understand the risks of floating and the potential opportunity costs of locking.

Logan Utah Real Estate - Parade of Homes 2009 My wife, myself and another couple just spent today checking out the 2009 Parade of Homes for Cache Valley Utah....what a great experience!  As an agent I am constantly looking at homes on the market but I must say it takes a whole new meaning and I gain a whole new perspective by taking my wife with me. A couple notes on the Parade: 1. Both the home in Smithfield by Jeff Wood and the home in Mendon by Dan Hunsaker were both incredible! Not just large in size or in great areas....but the workmanship and layouts were immacualte.  2.  Visionary Homes and Kartchner both proved that you can still build a new home in a very accesible price range.  Both homes including lots were under the $200,000 range. I have been blessed to have been able to se...
