Fed Meeting Today Could Effect Mortgage Rates...

Good Morning!
Fed meeting today at 2pm.  Many are expecting the Fed to announce a drop in the Fed lending rate.

We'll see today...
That's it for today!

Buying A House From A Relative...

Good Morning!

I had this situation come up again last week, and I wanted to address it again with you…

Did you realize that when buying a house from an immediate family member – the buyer doesn’t have to come out of pocket for a down payment? (As long as it’s a owner occupied residence for seller and buyer.)
…this is because the guidelines allow the seller to “gift” equity to the buyer.

So, the down payment can be a gift from the seller. …in addition to this, the seller can also pay the buyers closing costs, and pre paid expenses (taxes and insurance).

That's it for today!

Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.

Summer Vacation

Good Morning!
Just got back from taking the family to the Caribbean for a week.
We had a great time.  This is us…

I’m the bald one in case you were having trouble figuring that out.

I hope you were (or are going to be) able to make some good memories with your families this summer.

Thanks for reading my emails!

Have a great day!
