Renting Real Estate Questions and Answers

Answers: Decide what you can afford
Usually your loan amount is based upon your earnings and buying on your own you will be able to borrow up to between 3.5 and 4 times your annual income, if you are buying with a partner, the maximum will be 2.75 to 3 times your joint earnings. 100% mortgages available but you will get a much better deal if you have a reasonable deposit.
Speak to an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA), they'll get the best deal for you and can take their commission from the lender.
You can use the mortgage calculator provided by the council of mortgage lenders to see how much your mortgage would cost by clicking here http://www.cml.org.uk/cml/consumers/calc...

Find your ideal home
Contact all the estate agents in the area you are interested in. Register your interest with the major property portals. Look at as many properties as you can before making any offers, during different times of the day. Once you have made up your mind go back for a second and even third time. If you don't know the area well use websites such as UpMyStreet to find out if its right area for you.

Make an Offer
Make an offer to the Estate Agent. Try offering below the asking price, you can always improve on your offer if it is rejected! If the offer is accepted, ask for the property to be taken off the market as this could help stop you being gazumped, which is when someone makes a higher offer and legally the estate agent has to pass this on to the seller.

Appoint someone to do the legal work
This is normally a solicitor. Try to get a personal recommendation. The one suggested by the estate agent may not be the right one for you, they'll be on a commission

Finalise the mortgage
A mortgage valuation will be needed to establish if the property is worth the asking price you have offered and a fee is normally required for this. Once the valuation has confirmed this is the case, you will then get the formal mortgage offer.

Exchange contracts
This is where the seller will sign their sales contract, you will sign your purchase contract and these will be exchanged. At this point you will have to pay the deposit to whoever is doing your conveyancing. The deal has become legally binding and if you were to pull out now you would lose your deposit.

Completion
The mortgage monies are passed on to the seller and you are given the keys to your new home.
First and foremost, I would talk to a lender to find out how much loan you can get. This is called getting pre-approved, and it can make a big difference in home-owners taking your offers seriously. Many agents will not even work with someone until they are pre-approved.

I would also look at homes in the newspaper, and drive around a little looking at houses, just to get an idea of what you like. Go to some open houses in your area - they're usually held on the weekends, and this could also give you a great opportunity to meet some local agents.

Once you find an agent, they should be able to guide you through the steps of looking for homes and making offers and soforth.

Congrats on this exciting time in your life - wishing you all the best!

The first one shown above is much more informal. Your choice as to how you wish to represent yourself! :)

Does anyone know of homes for sale with owner financing in the Van Buren, AR area?




Answers: With the housing market in such a slump, it may be worth while to 'ask' for owner financing when you view the home.

Typically, if the house is listed with a real estate company, you're going to have to come up with the 6% commission as a down payment. The seller may even ask for more of a down payment so he/she can have some cash to pay closing costs (attorney or title company will have to be paid to draw up an owner finance contract).

If you are short on down payment money, look for FSBO properties. The seller's may ask for a smaller down payment. Also, the longer the property has been on the market, the more anxious the seller is to negotiate.
Check with a real estate agent, owner finance available is a question on many mls services.
