This is pretty important news, We are just a few months away from new Certificate of Occupancy requirements for any Toms River Re-sale.I took a quick look at the requirements and they appear to be significant, and possibly the most difficult CO inspection in our area (probably similar to Island Heights if not more difficult)  It is Chapter 253 “continued Use and Occupancy of Residential Dwellings”It states:No residential dwelling in the Township may be sold, re-sold, or transferred without the seller thereof obtaining a Municipal Certificate of Continued Use and Occupancy (“MCCUO”) from the Division of Code Enforcement.The “Biggies” I see: No open or unresolved building, zoning, permits code enforcement etc… Furnace certification provided by a licensed HVAC contractor Well Cert Fireplac...

 I have lost count of the number of times I have been asked if a retired person could get a 30-year loan.You are NEVER too old to get a mortgage. For a residential mortgage the only reason your age is on a mortgage application is to prove you are at least 18 and can legally sign the application.  Over the past 3 decades in this business a significant portion of my first-time buyers end up being seniors. Quite often it can be cheaper to purchase a home than it is to rent, even with a low down payment. This is especially true for our local retirement communities that often have low taxes along with affordable prices. The bonus to buying a home is often a more stable payment. While rent payments tend to keep up with inflation, your mortgage payment will be much more stable.A fixed rate mor...

Let's put some numbers into perspective: On average over the past 30yrs it would cost $1,467/month to borrow $200,000. Today it costs $926/month to borrow $200,000. The LOWEST I ever saw rates a few years ago it would have cost about $880/month. This time last year that same $200k would cost $1,043/month In 2008 you would pay $1,231/month When I purchased my first home in 1989 it would have cost me $1942/month. (and that wasnt anywhere near the highs we saw in the 80s) This is one of the most affordable times in history to buy a home. There is much more room for rates to rise than for rates to drop.     Have a great weekRob Robert Rauf Mortgage Loan Originator NMLS ID# 248937 http://www.homebridge.com/RobertRauf or my blog: http://activerain.com/blogs/rrauf Office: (732)908-4868 RRauf@...
