Should I disclose this?     Selling a home can be a smooth process if the right steps are taken in the right order. Apart of listing the home is disclosing material facts and any latent defects.  Disclosing this upfront avoids problems and potential lawsuits later.     What am I to disclose? As a new buyer, most are tuned in to all the details of the house.  As time and life goes on a little problem here and there may or may not be fixed.  Especially small things that don't really bother the individual.  Now it's time to sell the home!  Most sellers assume because they don't have a issue with something, a new buyer shouldn't, but unfortunately buyers (and their home inspectors) don't usually agree.  DISCLOSE EVERYTHING.  If you have to ask "do I need to disclose this?" DISCLOSE IT!   Wh... 03/15/2013

Mortgage Relief Fraud: Will You Be the Next Victim?   Not if I have anything to say about it! The FBI reported a jump of 71% in mortgage relief fraud investigations from 2008-2009, and expects this number to have grown in 2010.   That’s why it’s my duty to educate homeowners in my community on the cautions they need to take, and what the government has recently done to protect you from unscrupulous individuals and companies who want to take advantage of their desperate situations.     What you need to watch out for if you are looking for mortgage relief assistance: 1.       Upfront fees—just don’t pay them! In fact, they are now illegal! 2.       A request to sign over your deed (this only spells trouble) 3.       Lots of paperwork without the opportunity for review 4.       The claim ... 11/05/2012

The FHA 203K Rehab Option The FHA 203K is a loan that lets the buyer finance the cost of the purchase of a property along with desired or needed improvements. Additionally, where necessary, the loan can include the cost of renting another place while the property is being renovated. With this type of financing, the buyer has more options in finding the home that truly meets their desires since it opens up the market of less than perfect homes to their list of possibilities. By using this method of purchasing a home, the buyer can assure that rooms such as the kitchen or the bathrooms are done to their liking. The home pictured below is an example of a home which could use the FHA 203K loan. The particular home, located in Parkville, Maryland is available.   This home needs a roof.  It w... 10/03/2011
