Buy A Home Only One Year After Foreclosure!

Facing Foreclosure

Some of you may have already heard about the new announcement FHA made last month allowing for a new purchase after only one year when the buyer has experienced a financial hardship. The key to this program is the buyer must have used the past year to overcome their hardship and the result of their derogatory credit was a due to a loss of employment or significant loss of household income.

The positive point of this new guideline is the derogatory credit may consist of foreclosure sale, deed-in-lieu, short sale, and bankruptcy.

Fannie Mae has also improved their restrictions on buyers with short sale history by reducing the wait time to 2 years compared to 4 years previously.

 

This is exciting news because Golden Coast Finance can now offer your clients more options to buy even if they have experienced hardship in their recent past.

Teaching Children The Value of Money

piggy bankMy kids think that each time I tell them that doing a special activity or going out to dinner costs too much money, that the solution is to simply drive up to the ATM and get more money to satisfy their wants. Helping children understand the value of money will help them realize the money taken out of cash machines are from the funds you deposit – not just an endless cash flow (don’t we all wish!).

Why Choosing a Licensed Loan Officer Over a
Bank Home Loan Officer Can Be Financially Beneficial

Often, the average consumer is curious about the difference between the loan officer who sits in your bank’s lobby versus the mortgage broker your agent or next door neighbor recommends. The bank’s loan officer will readily have your deposited assets at their fingertips and you may be more comfortable speaking to someone you have cordially smiled at over the years when you walked into the bank. However, this ‘comfortable convenience’ may limit your options. Continue reading →

Refinancing: Got Land? Grow Something With It!

glendale, ca refinance options

Interest Rates…  This article should end here, but alas we will elaborate for those of you who may be hiding under a rock somewhere reading this magazine and are cut off from the outside world! 

Over the past 30 years we have witnessed a gradual decline from the highest interest rates in US history to the lowest interest rates in US history.  So what do we do?  Buy. Buy. Buy. Right?  Absolutely, but what if your rich uncle didn’t just pass away, and growing your real estate portfolio just isn’t in the cards right now?  Well, I am happy to report that you are not out of luck.  While we do subscribe to the “buy land, God isn’t making any more of it” philosophy, the transcendentalist in us says that we can live by more than one saying.  In fact we created a saying that fits this situation perfectly:  “Got Land? Grow Something With It!” (No, we are not referring to starting a farm in Glendale, CA). Continue reading →
