4 Steps to Owning a home in 2010

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Due to the economy, everyone wants to spend less money monthly on bills right now:

Due to Down Payment Assistance, 4.75% interest rates(if you qualify), and a much cheaper housing market…
A home loan saves you more money monthly then:
Renting, Rent to Own, and Contract for Deed as far as, for money upfront, and for monthly payments.

Step #1: Get you up to a 580+ minimum Credit Score right away

Step #2: Allow 1-2 years since your bankruptcy

Step #3: Allow 2-3 years since your foreclosure

Step #4: Get you some down payment money

Let’s work together on getting you to these goals, so that you can buy a house.

If the timing has it where you recently have no money, a bankruptcy and/or a foreclosure, then:
A Rental, Rent to Own, or Contract for Deed may be your only choice.
I actually cover each of the above in far more detail through email, to read that:

I own a handful of domain names, but these are the main websites that I promote these days, covering the major categories.  The sites ranging from renting, rent to own, contract for deed, home loans, investors, short sales, selling, and my own site www.ronorr.com, most will direct you towards my main site as we hope to get you a lot of the info related to real estate by my email follow ups.

Renting, rent to own and contract for deed work best when you can’t get a home loan, and they often require some money down, with the idea that you may rent to own or c/d for 2-3 years while you are working on your credit.  With a rent to own you often will try to purchase 2-3 years later.  With a contract for deed you may put more down, and simply refinance after 12-24 months of on-time payments.   We are also happy to help homeowners who are behind on payments or are about to be behind on payments.  Loan mods, short-refi’s, short sales, foreclosure extensions, there are many options.

Less Money than Renting, rent to own, contract for deed

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

In 2010…

Most people’s budgets are tight.
Many people fear losing a job.
Many people are unemployed.

Many people are helping friends/family who are unemployed, or underemployed.

#1 priority is to keep your money whenever possible, right?

The main 3 options currently ask for your money:

Renting a property requires 1st months rent + deposit or double deposit

Rent to Own, requires option money of $3000-$7000 + 1st months rent

Contract for Deed requires 5-10% down payment often, sometimes $6000-$7000 is
enough.

These all require money out-of-pocket today.  People prefer not to part with money If you want help with any of the above, please contact me. There is one solution to saving your money, and that’s getting a home loan. With low home prices, and low interest rates, often buying comes with a cheaper house payment that renting these days.  There are numerous down payment and grant programs out there to handle your down payment when you get a home loan.

Home loans start at 580+ credit score. Most will have below a 580 score, so
please go to http://www.ronorr.com to figure
out how to raise your score and contact us

on how to get working with a credit repair specialist right away, so we can get
you a home loan and save you money.

Buyers would need to write out a very detailed explanation of exactly what happened,

and will need to submit supporting docs (legal, medical, etc). Each File will be reviewed

by UnderWriting to determine if the circumstances warrant “Extenuating”.

If so, they will grant Pre-Approval.
