Pamela MadoreNMLS #289635 Fair question.   You are used to going to a bank to get a mortgage or even a mortgage company around town. They all have a specific list of programs they offer.   What happens if they say "no"?   Do you go to the next one get your credit pulled again, and again, and again.  Or even worse, do you give up? I am a Licensed Mortgage Broker and own a Licensed Mortgage Company.  What I am able to do is FIRST and very importantly, I pull your credit once and we use that throughout the entire process.                          As a Mortgage Broker, I have  a working relationship with lenders all over the country.  Each one offers a nunber of programs and each lender offers different programs and/or nuances then each other.  What is so great about that?  I'll tell you. W...

Pamela MadoreKeller Williams Realty Searching for houses online can be a tricky thing.  Many of the "name brand" search arenas are not up-to-date, inaccurate, or just zestimately wrong.  Don't be fooled by those little "payment calculators".  There are way too many other factors that need to be considered for that to be used.   Many  buyers looking for homes  and sellers looking for values for their houses, are on a mobile app.  Here is mine.  One great thing is that you can contact me directly from the app.  Another very, very helpful thing about my app is that you can use the "map" feature and with the help of your finger as a drawing device, you can draw a map around any area you are interested in and all of the houses for sale in that area "pop up".  Click on the house for all the i...

Pamela Madore Keller Williams Realty Pamela Madore Mortgage 806-290-1920 I can remember once a wanted a black skirt to wear to a special occasion.  I couldn't really describe it but I would know it when I saw it! Looking for houses can be the same way. However, in the case of my skirt, I knew I didn't want any other color than black---so I could eliminate every other color.  I knew it was a special occasion so I had to cross off that really cute black jean skirt.  I knew it had to fit.  No sense buying a skirt that I couldn't squeeze into or a skirt that was so big I didn't know what to do with it all. And it had to be in my budget.  I had a certain amount to spend and that was it.  So maybe I couldn't look in the name brand stores.   But I knew I needed that skirt. When you are looking...

Pamela Madore Keller Williams Realty 806-1920  1096 Day Retirement Plan Business as Usual CALL IT MY GREAT EPIPHANY One day, I had an epiphany.  You know, when that light bulb turns on in your brain and you slap yourself in the head.  Duh.  That kind of epiphany. I have been in the real estate and mortgage business for more than 35 years.  It is so much fun.  I love going from deal to deal and seeing houses and solving problems.  I love meeting the people and just putting it all together.  But do I want to do this when I am 90? SELLING HOUSES AT AGE 90 My light bulb experience forced me to ask some hard questions.  I have worked all my life as an independent contractor and somewhere (baby boomer attitude) along the line I missed  that part about  I may not want to do this deal by deal i...

cPamela Madore Keller Williams Realty Pamela Madore Mortgage. #289635 806-290-1920 Is Owner Financing The Way To Go? When I hear someone say they want owner financing, I always ask myself the question---Why?  Pamela Madore Mortgage The obvious answer is that they don't think that they can qualify for a mortgage. Let me tell you a little bit about owner financing and how it works.   First, you have to find a seller that is willing to owner finance.  As time goes on it is harder and harder to find these properties because of current laws.    You also must be very careful to know the difference between "owner financing" and "rent to own".   Pamela Madore Mortgage They are two totally different things.  On an owner financing you give the owner a down payment, you get the deed at closing and...

Pamela MadoreKeller Williams RealtyPamela Madore Mortgage#289635 Complicated Mortgage?  That might be you.  Please be nice to your Mortgage Broker. I am doing a mortgage right now that the buyers could pay cash for about 6 of the price house we are buying.  But the interest rates are low so they decided to get a mortgage instead.  Sounds easy, right?  Wrong. These people have about 9 sets of tax returns for multiple business and rental properties and bank statements from an equal amount of accounts.  Are you beginning to get the picture?   Everything has to match up.  Payments out must match something.  Income must come from somewhere.  The better accountant you have the harder it is to match anything to anything! Government loans have guidelines.  Some are stricter than others.  When t...

Pamela Madore Pamela Madore Mortgage #289635 806-290-1920 Borrow Up to $294,515 FHA in Potter/Randall Counties in Texas Many people think that an FHA loan is for low income people.  NOT TRUE.   FHA does not discriminate in income limits.   You can be a a quazillionaire and still get an FHA loan. It is not only for first-time homebuyers either.  You can own other properties, too.  It does require that it be your primary residence, however. Here are some pretty great things about FHA loans: Maximum loan amounts allow you to buy in some of the more expensive neighborhoods Low down payment.....3.5% of the purchase price Seller can help with up to 6% of closing costs Easier to qualify for based on income/credit Comparable rates to conventional loans No pre-payment penalty or balloon  If you ...

Pamela Madore Pamela Madore Mortgage 806-290-1920 Help Me With My Mortgage!  It Is A Tough One!! Not everyone can walk into a bank and get a mortgage to buy a house.  Not everyone fits the "perfect" mold.  As a matter of fact, I would say the MOST people don't fit that mold.  One great thing about being a Mortgage Broker is that I have the availability of dozens of mortgage programs that will fit just about everyone's needs.  Where as Bank has typically less than 10 and they mostly have the same or similar guideline, I have the advantage of being able to see your situation and then go find a lender that will do it! The days of "I've banked there all my life" are over.  Banks sell all (a few exceptions) of there loans into the secondary market and the secondary market will only buy loans...

I had no idea to even know where to start figuring it out!!!  Help.  Are you there?  Are you where I was? Let me see if I can help. I am going to use myself as an example because they always say to "use what you know".  Of course, in this case it may not apply since I still don't know exactly how this whole thing works. Somehow after reading books I determined it started with goals.  That only served to confuse me more .  What is a goal?  In football it is a couple of posts standing up that people kick a football through.   I'm pretty s...

I am teaching an amazing class at Keller Williams Realty called Ignite.  It is mostly for new agents but new and old come.  It is a 4 week class meeting 3 times a week.   Part of the homework for them is to increase the people in their address book by 200 in the 4 weeks.   Well,  if you are like just about everyone else in the world, you will find reasons why that is too much to do in the amount of time we have.  Granted it is a lot.  However, if we are going to build our businesses we need our friends and family and networking contacts to help us.  Agreed?

Pamela Madore Pamela Madore Mortgage 806-290-1920 Who Can Qualify For An FHA Mortgage? Consider an FHA. Don't be fooled.  Many people think that you have to be low-income.  Others think you have to be a first-time homebuyer.  Neither are true. An FHA loan is a federally insured loan.  FHA stands for Federal Housing Administration.  The loan does not come directly through FHA.  The loan is comes from a lender or bank.  The connection is through mortgage insurance.  FHA mortgage insurance's acronym is MIP which is mortgage insurance premium.  The MIP is both an upfront premium that is allowed to be financed into the loan.  There is additionally a monthly premium that is part of your escrow account. (taxes, insurance, MIP) Have questions? In the event that the borrower defaults on the loan...
