Minneapolis, MN: We all know closing costs can be pretty expensive when getting a home mortgage loan.  You may have also seen advertisements for no closing costs, and no lender fee loans, and wondered how it all works. Read more, as I shed the bright light on how lending really works.Real or a Scam?Well, low cost, no cost, and no lender fee loans are real, and they are not officially a scam, but they are a very misleading slight of hand type of creative advertising.You see, all lenders have basically the same closing costs.  Most costs are what is known as third part fees. This means these closing costs associated with the loan are charged by someone other than the lender who is involved in the loan process.Common items include:Appraisal, credit reports, title company fees, title insura...

Over the past 18 months, many hardworking people and businesses have suffered economic losses through no fault of their own.  Some have failed to file tax returns or even pay their taxes.  During the pandemic, the IRS temporarily ceased collection activity.  Due to increased funding and a need to pay for some government actions, the IRS is ramping up their collection efforts.  Using a myriad of techniques including artificial intelligence (AI), the IRS is identifying and pursuing high income (over $100,000 income) non-filers. The IRS is a collection agency, they have many tools at their disposal, the most effective of which are liens and levies.   So, what happens when your client’s assets are encumbered by a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, and they want to sell their house?Take a deep brea...

Minneapolis, MN: If you’re like many millennials, this pandemic has made you reevaluate your current living situation and wonder if you are ready for a home of your own. It’s been an eye-opening year for sure. Despite being the group affected most by the economic downturn, millennials remain motivated to make a move. 2020 was a record-setting year when it comes to mortgage originations, especially among Millennials. In fact, in September, the Ellie Mae Millennial Tracker reported that 61% of all purchase loans this past July were made by homebuyers between the ages of 21 and 40. That’s a huge number, and an even bigger indicator of what’s next for the housing market. Here’s some things Millennials should know going into 2021:1) You’re likely more ready to purchase a house than you think...

Minneapolis, MN: When in need of home financing, most people have no idea who to turn to for their mortgage.  Old school advertising, like radio and TV are still around, but in the digital age, we are now bombarded with ad's for mortgage companies all over the internet, and all your social media platforms, which can lead you to fall for the myth of better mortgage deals with big outstate internet lenders.So is it good to use a big internet lender?Will you get your loan?  Sure, but the reality is that most mortgage deals from the big internet lenders are actually worse, not better, than your local mortgage lender. Lots of advertising doesn't mean they have great rates. It usually just means they probably don't, as they have to charge you higher mortgage rates and closing costs to pay for...

How much do I need for down payment when buying a home is a super common question, especially for first time home buyers.Unfortunately, there is no quick answer, as it varies based on many factors including loan type, property type, and credit scores. The easiest answer for most people is to not try figuring it out on your own, and to simply connect with a Cambria Mortgage Loan Officer to quickly review your personal situation, to get your personal answer.Basic down payment options include: Zero down payment for VA loans for our military personal, and for USDA rural housing loans. Standard conventional 30-yr fixed rate loans start at just 3% down, but you get better deals with bigger down payments. FHA loans start at just 3.50% down payment.

Mortgage interest rates are hovering near historic lows. Your phone, email, and mailbox are full of offers from lenders nationwide all promising great rates.You may have even accidentally responded to some ad promising rates so good, even good couldn’t get them. Only to find out it was really just an aggregate site like Lending Tree who isn’t even an actual lender. Rather, they bait you with awesome rates, then sell your information to multiple real lenders, who all now telemarket you to death.Refinancing makes sense, so who do you pick?It is well documented that your best deals are usually at your local non-bank lender / mortgage broker. While it may seem counter-intuitive, but using your current lender is usually never a deal.BEWARE of mortgage lenders creating a sense of urgency, and...

I represent taxpayers in Minneapolis, Minnesota and all the 50 States in the United State before all administrative levels—examination, collection, and appeals—of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).If a taxpayer owes money to the IRS, there is already a tax lien against them and all their assets, including those assets they acquire in the future.  The IRS often files a public notice to let all other creditors know that money will be paid to the IRS first, and that other unsecured creditors will be behind the IRS in priority. This filing is referred to as a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL), which is a public document filed to alert third parties that the taxpayer owes the IRS money.There are few options to get a lien remove so that a taxpayer you can their sell your home or refinance ev...

Spring is in the air. Do you know what else is in the air? Talk of low interest rates. If you haven’t caught wind that interest rates are historically low consider yourself an anomaly. Mortgage interest rates have continued to hover near all time lows for quite a long stretch of time, meaning now could be the best time for you to take advantage of them by refinancing your current mortgage or locking in a low rate for your next home purchase. Low interest rates may not last forever so take advantage of the situation while you can!The Benefits of a Refinance!If you already have a home that gives you all the feels, plan to own it for a while and your current rate is around 3% or higher… Looking into a refinance may be a great option. Refinancing your current mortgage is an especially great...

I represent taxpayers in Twin Cities, Minnesota and all the 50 States in the United State before all administrative levels—examination, collection, and appeals—of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).   One of the questions that are asked by taxpayers who have received a CP90 Notice(Intent to Levy) or have a case is in the collection division of the IRS is “What can the IRS can seize?”There are two types of federal tax levies issued by the IRS: a “regular” levy and a “continuing” levy. A continuing levy is a levy issued by the IRS on wages or routinely paid commissions, so it will remain in place until it is released.A “regular” levy issued by the IRS reaches the assets owned by the taxpayer now the levy is received.  For example: Assume Taxpayer owes the IRS $20,000.  Taxpayer has $400 i...

Thankfully, they said no. More details on the Bloomington home mentioned in this article.Our team had planned on listing at $250,000, but ultimately decided on $260,000 due to the interest in this property. 100 showing requests flooded in within hours of it hitting the...

                                              What's My Eden Prairie, MN Home Worth?Assessing the value of your home, your needs and your timeline can change a multitude of factors. How quickly you need the proceeds of the sale and the market conditions can help decide your path as you prepare to leave your current house. It’s a balance of current and future needs and the route you choose can always be changed until you enter into a contract.Currently in Eden Prairie, Minnesota the Supply of Homes For Sale has dropped to under One Month of supply. This means we are still in a Seller's Market. There is still a high demand for houses with a high supply of qualified Buyer's.The average days on the market is 32 days for all property types. Single Family Homes are averaging 46 days and Condo...

Minneapolis, MN: People spend weeks and months looking for that perfect home, but more often than not, make the mistake of using whatever Loan Officer answers the phone without question.  Why?On the largest financial transaction of your life, there are many things to consider besides a low interest rate or closing cost quote. Having a full suite of loan programs, experience, communications, and a long track record of on time successful closings are all things to consider.There are huge differences in Loan officers, from brand new unlicensed application clerks, to decades of experience professionals. Do you know which one you are using?I am proud that now for three years running, my peers and clients have again recognized me as one of the best in Minnesota, as a Super Mortgage Profession...
