Veterans and service members sacrifice much of their civilian lives to serve our country, so programs such as the VA Home Loan program have been established to help our armed forces. Wisconsin service members and veterans are able to take advantage of the program that allows them to obtain a loan up to $417,000 without putting a cent down. The VA loan program is stacked with benefits that are specifically designed to help service members find the home of their dreams.   Saving for the upfront costs for a home is usually the biggest hurdle for both civilians and service members. Most service members have trouble building credit and saving for the large down payment required for a conventional loan, due to constant moves and deployments. The VA loan program has no credit requirements and ...

Wells Fargo has teamed up with Lowes, Home Depot and Sears to introduce a new, simplified loan program focusing on homes in need of repair.  This new program has many key features setting it above and beyond similar repair and remodeling loan programs.  Some of the advantages include. Mortgage amount based on “after improved” market value. Remodeling costs are paid for over the life of the loan. Make only one monthly payment. Much lower interest rates than a charge card. No need to pay high fees for a loan escrow account. Repair and remodeling costs up to $35,000. All the work is completed after closing. For all types of homes from foreclosures to 1 year old homes you want to add your personal touches to. Following is a partial list of items eligible for this program. Roofs, gutters an...

This revolutionary new lending concept is now available.  If you are considering investing in a foreclosed property, chances are you will be looking at a lot of properties with a wide range of defects.  What happens next can be summed up in one of three scenarios.  One You purchase the property because you are very good with home repairs and you have additional money to complete the repairs on the home of your dreams. Two You purchase the home hoping some where in the future you will come up with the extra cash to complete the required repairs.  Chances are, you have seen the effects of these hopes and dreams in some of the foreclosed properties you have viewed. Three You purchase the home and you choose a lender who offers a home repair and remodeling program. There are a number of pro...

I'm a die hard Packer fan, and that is the only football I watch.  3 hours a week is enough for me.  I do think they have the defence to make it through the playoffs.  Aaron Rodgers is the smartest quarterback they've had in..... we won't go there.  I don't see the 4th qtr, victory in one pass antics we have seen in the past.  The running game could still catch on.  John Kuhn has the ability to break one on a short run.  Since he has not done it, the law of averages is in his favor to do it in the playoffs. The receivers, Jennings the long threat, Driver on the short slants, and Jones dropped his share of passes against the Bears.  Look for Jones to redeem himself again this week with a few TDs.  Nelson steps up when the game is on the line.  The season in on the line now. The defense h...

  I saw an article on the local newspaper web site a few months ago explaining the increases for natural gas and electricity for 2010 in Wisconsin.  In the spring they were granted a 10% cost of living increase.  How many people do you know receive a 10% cost of living raise?  In the fall they received a second increase of 15% because the weather forecast called for milder winter temperatures. Well we have had much colder temperatures this winter.  Do you think we would see a decrease in cost?  No!  Now the Wisconsin energy company is increasing prices 5 to 15% because the temperatures have been colder than expected. So what is it?  What do we need to hold energy prices?  If energy demand is less than normal. they need an increase to protect profits.  If energy demand is more than expec...

Before contacting a Real Estate Agent to list your house as a short sale, you can begin the process by contacting your lender.  Following is a collection of links for mortgage loans through Bank of America.  Bank of America uses an automated Internet based system.  Once an offer is accepted, the Listing Agent enters the information into the site.  Decisions are forwarded in the matter of hours, to a couple of days.  This has greatly decreased the amount of time lenders take in reaching a decision on a short sale. http://issuu.com/mattkuchar/docs/bank_of_america_short_sale_package_for_equator.comhttps://shortsale.bankofamerica.com/Local mediation serves and additional information can be found on the following site.http://www.ez1realty.net/1039711.htmlIf you contact a mediator, make certa...

The hardest part of a short sale used to be working with the lender.  Over the past year, lenders have streamlined the process and made it much easier and quicker.  Now the hardest part can be setting an appoint. I tried making an appointment for a short sale on Monday at 4:30.  The buyer was available to view the property at 9:30 AM Tuesday.  Per the MLS instructions, I called the listing office at 4:30 PM Monday and left a message.  At 5:00 PM Monday I looked up the listing agent's cell phone number, called and left a message.  Tuesday 9:00 AM, no return call from the agent or the office.  I had already rescheduled the appointment with the buyer for 9:30 AM Wednesday.  At 10:00 AM Tuesday I called the listing office, made the appointment for Wednesday, and spoke to the manager.  I exp...

You may have a vision of the perfect home. You may also have a list of questions. What you need is a detailed list of options to price before signing a contract to build a new home. Knowing exactly what you want in a home, from the fireplace to the light switches is the key to successful building. Are you adding ceiling fans to the bedrooms or finishing the basement with a bathroom? Planning for all of these extras in advance can save you money. Avoid the costly mistake of rework. Imagine what it may cost to call a plumber back to the construction site to break up a brand new concrete floor to add a bathroom in the basement. Making changes to a house while it is under construction can triple the cost of certain additions. Ensuring everything is planned for before entering into a contra...
