PURCHASE AND REHAB YOUR HOME IN PINELLAS PARK FLORIDA WITH THE FHA 203(K) LOAN - Most home buyers are turned off at the sight or even thought of buying a fixer-upper; a foreclosure or an older home today. However, educated and informed home buyers are utilizing the FHA 203(k) loan to buy their new home and fix it up with no additional out-of-pocket expense. The FHA 203(k) loan is a tool that savvy home buyers, successful contractors, Realtors and mortgage originators have been using since 1978. An FHA 203(k) loan is very similar to the traditional FHA loan. The only real difference is that with the FHA 203(k) loan, the home buyer is adding money to their mortgage balance to finance-in any repair/improvement cost. Whereas the traditional FHA loan requires that certain repairs be done bef... 10/03/2011

  Which Government Backed Home Loan Is Best Suited For Purchasing My New Home? If you want a loan with a No Money Down Option then you must be a veteran or you must purchase a home in a HUD Approved Area for Rural Housing. The VA and USDA Loan are the only type loans that offer the No Down Payment Option for buying a home. The FHA loan is the most popular type loan at this time because the down payment requirement is only 3.5% compared to the Conventional Loans which require 5% down. Both require the added cost of Mortgage Insurance any time less than 20% down is used. The VA and USDA Loans do not require mortgage Insurance but have a funding fee that is financed into the loan. The USDA funding fee is currently 3.5% but expected to rise with the growing number of defaults. The VA fundin... 08/01/2011

Our recent study of the Tampa housing market has led me to pursue a more thorough understanding of “why” the Tampa real estate market appears to be rebounding faster than the rest of the State of Florida. Today’s real estate graph sheds some light on this topic. Home sales in Tampa have been returning to levels seen before the boom of the housing market 8 years ago. When we perform a price range analysis, we see which zones are most active now and contrast them with what we observed as far back as 2006. The two yellow highlight comments in the graph provide a very clear image of what is going on in the Tampa real estate market. One the left, we see that very few properties sold in 2006 below $100,000. On the far right however, we see that nearly 1/2 the market is homes priced below $100... 07/27/2011

Government Home Loans FHA/VA/USDA in Pinellas Park Florida are still being used in most purchase transactions. I specialize in FHA, USDA, VA Loan products. When it comes to less out of pocket expense at a rate that is competitive with other lenders such as the conventional types more people are choosing to go with the Govies; which are aka FHA, VA and USDA Loans.  However lenders are not always willing to adopt into practice the new programs being passed down by HUD. Lets just say it would appear that this particular program isn't being accepted with open arm's on main street so far. HUD recently launched a program aimed at helping people who are current on their mortgage loans; refinance to the lower prevailing rates being offered through FHA and VA Approved Lenders even if they are u... 04/04/2011

Nora Hernandez-Huapilla - - Dead because she wanted to get to school View Larger Map Such a tragedy no parent should have to endure.  Nora was on her way to her regular bus-stop.   So she was 17 years old, and she should have known better, and been more careful, than to cross against the green.  But what ever happened to cherishing & protecting our most valuable, our future, the children?  I got picked up for High School by a bus on a four lane road while in High School.  I walked up my street, with my neighbor to the intersection with a main town road.  But the bus stopped on my side of the road, on the way back instead of when they first came by, and I did not have to cross any lanes, unlike Nora Hernandez-Huapilla. Nora Hernandez-Huapilla is dead, in part, because according to a prev... 12/20/2009
