Reverse Mortgages Reverse Mortgages have many benefits for older home owners. Financial Glossary It's important to understand the language of finance. Common Mistakes to Avoid Common home buying mistakes can be avoided, you need to know what some of them are. search Denver Real Estate Site How to qualify for a mortgage A brief summary on how to get a home loan When a mortgage lender takes your application they are checking your ability and willingness to repay. It is said that "history repeats itself". Lenders look at your history to predict the future. This process can go as quickly as 24 hours or take several weeks. This is done by checking the following items: Your credit history (the past 2 years) Your checking account (bounced checks are not good) Your income Your FICO score (on conventional loans) Almost everyone who has some sort of credit, some money set aside for a down payment and an income can get a loan. Now whether or not you want that loan may be a different story. Mortgage rates are proportional to the amount of risk the lender must take. If the credit history is bad, the risk will be off set by a higher interest rate. The best way to qualify for a mortgage that you want is to have a nice clean credit report, little debt and pay all your bills on time, every time. Excessive consumer debt as in multiple credit cards lowers your FICO score . A hint to avoid this happening is to consolidate your debt on one charge card. Even if you have excellent credit it is a good idea to pull a credit report on yourself, prior to visiting the lender. In Colorado you are allowed to do this free of charge once a year. (If you aren't in Colorado or any of the "free" states, then you can pay a small fee to obtain a copy of your credit report.) There are more than one credit reporting companies and not all companies report to all credit bureaus, so be sure to request a credit report from all, just to be sure. Here is how to contact the credit reporting agencies: Equifax Equifax Information Service Center P.O. Box 740241 Atlanta, GA 30374-0241 1-800-997-2493 You can also order your credit report from a secure section of the Equifax website at http://www.equifax.com Experian Experian National Consumer Assistance Center P,O, Box 2104 Allen, TX 75013-2104 1-888-397-3742 You can print a credit report order from at http://www.experian.com Trans Union Corporation, Consumer Disclosure Center P,.O. Box 390 Springfield, PA 19064-0390 1-800-888-4213 You can order a credit report online from Trans Union's website at http://www.transunion.com Be Pro-active... By reviewing your credit report prior to visiting a lender, you will be able to straighten out any errors or disputed items and avoid any troublesome holdups down the road. If you see a disputed item, an error made by a faulty social security number, a name similar to yours, or a court ordered judgment you paid off that hasn't been cleared from the public records, clear it off now. By writing to the credit reporting agency, you can have them remove the items and save you time and aggravation later. TIP: Make sure any outdated derogatory entries are deleted from your credit file. By outdated, anything over 7 years should be deleted (except bankruptcy which is 10 years). TIP: Officially cancel inactive credit cards Even if you don't use a credit card, some lenders will assume that credit limit is available to you and use it in qualifying you. Therefore, if you don't use it and don't need it, cancel it. Too many credit cards even with no balance can keep you from getting a loan. TIP: Hold off on making any major purchases until after you close on the loan. Many times people obtain a loan commitment then go out and charge a new car or a houseful of furniture, only to totally destroy the ratios on their loan commitment. If you find you need assistance with any of these strategies, it's OK to sit down and talk with a lender. Explain your situation and what you are trying to do. A good lender will help you structure your finances, credit report and budget, keeping your best interest in mind. Continue to How Much of a Down Payment? .

Some of their promoters are now in jail, some who aren't, deserve to be. So here are some simple aids that won't cost you a dime. First of all, you make your money when you buy, not when you sell. So finding the motivated seller who is willing to offer you a good deal in exchange for a quick sale is the single most important factor to your real estate investment success. Surprise, surprise, most owners of real estate want to sell it for full fair market value. In fact many owners are so proud of their real estate they want you to pay MORE than fair market value. Most real estate sellers don't want to give you a 30% discount on fair market value. But this is what you need if you intend to fix up and resell the real estate for a profit. Think it can't be done? A real estate investor we know in Tampa closed on a pre-foreclosure house for $46,000 in February 2004, using 100% hard money financing. They sold it for $98,000 in April 2004 having spent about $2,000 on fix-up work. Let's be clear on this. If you can buy a house for $70,000 that would be worth $100,000 if it was fixed up, but it will cost $30,000 to fix it up, you're paying market value, NOT getting a bargain. You need to buy this house for $45,000 or keep looking. Download our free spreadsheet to evaluate that real estate "bargain" in real terms. You need to factor in things like the real cost of fixing it up, the closing costs when you buy, the closing costs when you sell, the cost of money while you are fixing it up from the day you buy it to the day you sell it, any pre-payment penalties on the money you have borrowed etc. If you intend to keep and rent out the property then you can pay a little more. But don't forget, even with current interest rates you have vacancy. property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance to pay for before you get to positive cash flow.
