Many buyers would like to know whether they should buy a new home or a resale. Both have their own unique advantages. When purchasing a brand new home directly from the builder you will get property that was never occupied by anyone else. You are therefore sure that you will get a home that is clean with no damage, odors or other problems. In addition, builders give you a warranty that covers the house for one year. On the other hand, builders are seldom willing to negotiate on the price unless their company is in dire financial straits. Some may offer to pay a part of the closing costs, however they are not under any obligation to do so. You can always ask, but there is no guarantee that you will be successful. With falling revenues, a large number of builders are trying to find any way possible to save some money. Appliances used to be included in the price of homes before, but many builders now charge extra for them. Other things, such as window treatment or even garage door openers may not be present in the home. The landscaping will probably also be the bare minimum as well. There are many buyers who prefer to buy a resale from a private seller. There are many reasons for that. They can be sure that things like carpeting, window treatments and a nice yard will be taken care of. The main reason, however, is that sellers are a lot more willing to negotiate the price of the home and closing costs than builders. And this could save a buyer tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, you should look at both new and resold homes to see what you are getting for the price that you will pay.

Buying a home is a serious matter, so you want to make sure that you purchase the right home in the right location. But exactly where is the right location? By using a few tools you can easily decide that. First, you have to determine how far out you are willing to commute. Start at your job's location and circle outward the maximum distance that you are comfortable commuting. If you live in a highly congested traffic area then your willingness to travel won't be as far as in a small, rural town. Once you have a radius, talk to a lender and determine what your maximum price range should be. This doesn't mean that you have to spend that much, it just gives you a ceiling to stay under in price. Taxes are a huge deciding factor for some families. For some, it is the largest factor. If you fall into this category check the counties that you have narrowed your search down to and see what you can expect to pay in taxes on certain price range homes. Next, you want to consider schools. This is a major issue for home buyers even if they do not have children because one day they will want to sell and it will be a huge issue for the new buyers. You can go online and see state rankings for test scores plus the breakdown of what the students are scoring. If you will be driving your children to school take this into consideration as well. Now that you have your commuting range, your price and the schools you prefer you can contact a real estate agent to have them pull available homes for you. A buyer's agent is paid from the seller's proceeds so take advantage of this free service. Have a list ready of key items that you are looking for to help them narrow the search. By focusing on these specific guidelines your realtor will be able to pinpoint exactly what you are looking for. All you will have to do now is check out specific neighborhoods as you find homes you like. Doing your homework ahead of time will not only make the search much more specific, but it will give you far less homes that you have to eliminate. To get a list of homes that meet all of your specifications, contact real estate professional Marc Oster at 9703021233.

Investors Make when Buying Foreclosures, by Investing Expert Marc OsterThose who invest in real estate overwhelmingly agree that foreclosure are the best deals going as far as making money. Though often true, they can be dangerous investments where you might lose large sums of money. We'll go over 3 of the most common pitfalls,in this article. When investing in foreclosed properties you can keep from making these mistakes.The first mistake is to believe that all foreclosures make good investments - that just isn't true. The condition of homes that have gone through foreclosure is not usually good. For that reason, banks and the government are often willing to provide major discounts on the property's price. Even with the considerations in mind, the property may not be an ideal investment.It's only beginning investors that think all foreclosures are good deals. With experience you learn than locating an excellent foreclosure property requires some effort and patience.Pitfall #2 - Jumping into Fixer UppersWe've all heard of people who've made millions buying shambled houses, fixing them and then "flipping" them. While this can be a very profitable model, it also has its pitfalls.The biggest mistake novice investors make is buying a fixer-upper without having the skills or experience to complete the project. Unless you can predict how much your repairs will cost, how much you can sell the property for and then work your way backwards to what the selling price must be in order to be profitable, then you're not ready for a fixer upper.Fixers aren't the only way to make a profitable deal on a foreclosure. Investors who are just starting out should stick to these kinds of deals.Pitfall #3 - Not Performing Good ResearchGood research is a key component to being profitable in the foreclosure market. You need to know the market in the area you are selling in. You should know what the trends in the area are, including community projects, new buildings that are being built, crime rates, etc.Do not neglect to have the house inspected. If you're bidding on multiple properties at an auction, it's important that you actually step foot in all the properties you plan on bidding on before you bid on them.These are just three common pitfalls which which trap investors. You'll set yourself ahead of most beginning foreclosure investors in,by avoiding these pitfalls. It's very easy to obtain information free of charge pertaining to investing. property sales.

Things have changed in the last year and not for the better. This is going to be kind of a rant against the mortgage industry and they way they treat clients. A couple things I've noticed is that if you get a preapproval from a lender it really means nothing. You aren't approved. You most likely won't have your loan approved until maybe 2 days before the home is supposed to be closing. I guess it's not really the lenders fault as really no matter who you go to end up selling your loan to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Thanks to those organizations with their crazy guidelines that change every day it makes getting your loan even harder. These are some of the things I've noticed especially over the last month. If you have a home closing set for a month after you first right your contract the lender will want 31 days. If you have it set for 60 days the lender will want 61 days. Everything is sooooo last minute anymore. Here's another thing. If you've had any kind of money deposit in your account over the last 4-5 months besides what comes from your job they will want to verify where it came from who gave it to you and so on. I recently had a client that maybe two months ago had went to a concert and had paid for about 9 friends tickets up front. Those friends paid them back and it was about a $1000. So then the lender had to verify all that. So crazy. I also advise if you are renting a home and want to buy a house DO NOT tell your landlord you are going to move out a couple days after your closing on buying your new home. Why? Because chances are you will need another week or so thanks to the lenders dragging their feet. As of right now I do not recommend Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Even a year ago they were good, but recently they have become very difficult. Waiting until the last minute to request documents that could have been requested 2 weeks earlier. Some buyers of mine lost the chance on a great deal of a property thanks to these people at Wells Fargo home mortgage. Thanks to an underwritter taking a day off and not ordering an appraisal on time in addition to many other silly things my buyers couldn't close on time and a backup offer was able to close a day later and my buyers lost the house. Thanks alot Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. What I've been telling my buyers for the last year is finding the house you want is fairly easy. Making an offer is fairly easy. Doing an inspection is fairly easy. Getting the mortgage done and on time. Is a nightmare. There's not much as a real estate agent I can do to help the mortgage move along faster then to be constantly calling the loan officer and trying to motivate them to motivate whoever they have to get the job done. Sometimes I think maybe the mortgage lenderrs know something about the economy that we don't so they are making it soooo hard to get a mortgage. Maybe they are holding out for higher interest rates or something. I won't even go into what a self employed person would have to do to get a mortgage. That's all I have for you for now.
