Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program using Mabank Texas FHA 203k Mortgage Loans. Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD).

      We began 2011 with hope for a brighter economy and dreams of a lake full of water and giggling kids.   While our wishes didn’t fully come to be, there were many families enjoying the water and sales of homes around Cedar Creek Lake held up well this summer considering the adversity. A number of positive-thinking families have allowed us to help them purchase homes this year, and we have appreciated their joyful attitudes. Fortunately, our buyers recognize that Texas is experiencing the worst drought since the 1800s and can see past the low water level. On September 3rd, two homes are marked sold for the month and there are 38 homes around the lake with contracts pending.  We are delighted that 4 of our selling client’s homes have contracts pending and are expected to close this m...

Cedar Creek Lake, TX home sales for April, 2011 are not showing the improvement we'd hoped for.  Perhaps the blue skies we're seeing now will bring more buyers to the lake! Our waterfront home sales are doing well for the lower priced homes! The statistics above are from the Henderson County Board of Realtors MLS.

Time magazine's recent article, "Rethinking Homeownership - why owning a home may no longer make economic sense" came at a special time in my daughter's life.  Having married 2 weeks ago, she and her husband were evaluating purchasing a home. Then, Time published the article...  I commend the new couple on their financial wisdom.  They have a plan!  Buy something very inexpensive, pay off the mortgage in a few years, and then look to do it again with a bit more expensive home.  This keeps their interest, taxes and other expenses in line with their capability to pay off the home, and they will truly build equity in their purchase.  This approach is similar to the very old way of paying cash or obtaining a short-term mortgage.  I remember my parents buying a home with a 10-year mortgage. ...

With highs in the mid-90s, a few clouds and light breeze off the water, life couldn't be any better. Soon, it will be time for a glass of wine on the back porch watching the sun set over the lake with my bride.  This ain't Dallas, and those of us lucky enough to be be here know we're blessed and love it! Selling real estate in a setting like this is a real pleasure.

If people aren't telling you no, you aren't asking for enough. We don't need to tell this to our kids, but we somehow learn to be polite and quit asking.  Be Bold!
