Are you planning on buying a home in Auburn or buying a home in Opelika and are wondering if your social security could be at risk over a VA mortgage?You can retire, file bankruptcy and walk away from the house without worrying about any repercussions from the Department of Veterans Affairs, or VA, or Uncle Sam. I don't know of any reason why the government would come after you.While this might not matter much to you, since you and your wife are on such a limited and fixed income, the VA does not look kindly on anyone who walks away from one of its loans. The agency cannot do anything against you personally, but you would find it very difficult to obtain another mortgage loan through the VA in the future.You ought to contact the VA prior to making this decision.

Are you planning on buying a home in Auburn or buying a home in Opelika?  If so the first step to purchasing a home is to obtain a pre-approval letter from your lender.  The pre-approval letter will tell you exactly how much the bank will lend you to purchase your new home.Have you ever experienced sticker shock when going to buy something? For many people, it happens with larger purchases, like buying a car. When it comes to shopping for a house, most folks have an idea of what they can afford as a monthly payment, but they may get sticker shock on the cash required to close (i.e. down payment and closing costs).While the bank calculates both your front-end ratio (typically 28% of your gross monthly income) and your back-end ratio (typically 36% of your gross monthly income minus your ...

Are you planning on purchasing a home in Auburn or purchasing a home in Opelika and are wondering how conventional mortgage loans work?  It used to be that when people would get a mortgage, they would go to a lender and borrow money. The lender that they got their loan at would hold onto their loan and collect payments from them each month according to the loan terms. In the United States, there are two large buyers on the secondary market for mortgages — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These two entities produce a set of guidelines where if mortgages fit the guidelines, then they agree to buy them. These guidelines outline the basic “rules” of getting a mortgage from them, and part of the outline is a limit on the amount that the loan can be for.Types of Conventional LoansIt is possible fo...

Wealthy Home Seller Secrets It’s true! Every day homes sell for WAY less than they should. It makes me cringe to see how many mistakes people make when selling. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great if you’re a buyer. However, if you’re a seller every mistake can cost thousands of dollars. For decades, wealthy homeowners have been selling homes the right way. Think about it for a minute… if you’re selling a 10 million dollar home, a 1% increase in the sales price equals an extra $100,000! Affluent sellers do what it takes to get top dollar for their homes. Normal sellers don’t seem to take selling as seriously (I have no clue why?) and normally don’t do what is necessary to get top dollar. If you use the right home selling strategies you can make at least 10-30k more when selling a $200,000 h...
