EARN 50% COMMISSION - All you do is the Typical Listing Agent End & I will do the REST! CLICK HERE FOR THE DETAILS

Are you in one of the following Situations? I have some solutions for you.

1) Do you have a Short Sale Listing but really DO NOT have the time to do the weekly followup with the Bank or Banks that it takes to get a Short Sale approved?

2) Have you already taken a Short Sale Listing and it ended up going to Sheriff Sale and you never got paid...so now you just don't want the headace anymore?

3) Do you currently have a Short Sale Listing and You are not sure what you need to do to
prepare the Short Sale package, why a Title company should be hired to help you, OR even if the homeowner qualifies for a short sale?

4) Do you have a Short Sale Listing and ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS LIST AND SELL THE H
OME and NOT deal with any short sale paperwork or calling the bank weekly etc?

5) Is your Short Sale Listing ready to expire and you just could not get it sold BUT would like to STILL close this listing if you only could work with someone that knows what they are doing when it comes to Listing, Selling, and getting Bank Approvals within 30 days?

6) Do you stay as far away from Short Sale Listings as Possible? Let's work together...YOU SHOULD GET paid something on every lead you generate...they cost money don't they?

7) Are you currently working with an "investment company" and wonder if what they are
doing is Legal or ethical? Are you working with this company where the only way they get paid is by the buyer or seller? Are they closing your deals in 90 days or less? Why not?

Do Any of these situations sound like YOU? Well, we can work together and both get
paid :) Something. which is better then nothing!!!!!

Depending on what stage you are with your Short Sale Listing and what package of services you are looking for will depend on How much I will require as a Referral Fee for obtaining a Bank Approval for your Short Sale.

What will MY Short Sale Services Cost you?
If you maintain yo
ur position as Listing Agent?

Least Amount = 1% of the Purchase Price

Greatest Amount = 50% of the Negotiated Commission Accepted by the Bank for the Listing Side.

EARN 30% COMMISSION - AS A REFERRAL FEE

You Also have an option of referring the entire Short Sale listing and Full Negotiations to us for a 30% referral FEE payable to you within 72 hours of settlement.  My partner and I will List, Market, and close on the short sale without any involvement by you.

t do I have in place to help???

  • 6 Short Sales on the Books as of 5-30-10 since August 2009 with 90% coming from Online/personal Referral - No other Marketing currently being done.
  • My first short sale closed at 83 Days on Market - I have been trained to do 90 days or better.
  • My Bank Approvals are on Average 2 Weeks after the offer has been submitted but 30 days is the longest it has taken me.
  • Settlements are within 60 days of the offer being executed - 30 days given for Bank Approval and 30 days for the Buyer to complete processing of the Agreement of Sale. - NOTE: FHA 203K takes 60 days from Bank Approval to close due to the loan requirements.
  • 1 Short Sale Lost to Foreclosure - Due to the "investor" wanting to net over the BPO Current Market Value.

Lehigh Valley Foreclosures & Real Estate Getting a Loan for Foreclosures, Handyman Specials & Short Sales - THERE IS A WAY

Lehigh Valley Foreclosures & Real Estate - Do you want a GREAT DEAL? Are you interested in finding a home that needs work but wonder how you can get a loan on the property? Then Rehab loans are for you. Learn Here.

Times have changed....we are digging our self out of a Recession and the way MOST are buying homes has also changed.

CURRENT FACTS


1) MOST Home Buyers are going with an FHA Loan where you only need 3.5% Down as of
Today 3-23-10.
2) The problem with the Standard FHA Loan is there is an FHA appraisal required that will
not allow any major home repairs and this will make it impossible for home buyers to purchase the below properties. 

SO HOW CAN YOU BUY THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF PROPERTIES THEN?????

Our Current Lehigh Valley Real Estate Market is filled with the following types of homes.
Homes that Need "TLC"

"Handman Specials"
"Investor Specials"
"Foreclosed Properties - Enter at your own Risk" know as Bank Owned Homes
"Vacant & Occupied Short Sales"

The way to purchase homes like this IS the best KEPT secret in THE Lehigh Valley A
rea.

Now, this type of Financing is NOT something you can do on your own...you need the guidence of professional Mortgage Renovation specialists and a Real Estate Agent "Buyer Agent"  who also works with Home Buyer's interested in purchasing Distressed - Handyman Specials, Foreclosures and walking you through the entire process of purchasing a home and getting a rehab loan that fits your needs.

NOTE: NOT EVERY MORTGAGE COMPANY WORKS WITH THESE PROGRAMS

NOTE: NOT EVERY REAL ESTATE AGENT IS INTERESTED IN HELPING BUYER'S WITH THESE PROGRAMS.
NOTE: IT IS HARD TO FIND INFORMATION ON THESE PROGRAMS AS IT IS NOT QUICK AND EASY TO DO...BUT WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT. That is why you only found my Blog on the topic.

8000 Home Buyer Tax Credit - Deadline April 30th - $5000.00 Can be used for Closing Costs & Down Payment

Home Buyer Tax Credit - Deadline April 30th - $5000 can be used for Closing Costs & Down Payment Let me help you through it.

Let's Face it, The Home Buyer Tax Credit is GREAT! BUT, Most of us need it up front to help us with the closing costs at settlement.

Wouldn't it be great if YOU can get $5000.00 of the $8000.00 upfront to use for your closing costs at settlement? Well, If you make less then  $70,000.00 per year...you have a really good chance!

There are a few other requirements....but, the catch is MANY Mortgage Companies are NOT offering this program. 

THATS WHY YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT IT TILL NOW!

But, in the Lehigh Valley Area...you can get qualified for ALL the Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance programs through 2 different local Direct Mortgage Companies...I will help guide you.

The point is you can get this $5000.00 to help you with closing costs AND you can also get $5000.00 in Seller's Assist to help with your closing costs from the seller!

ONE MORE CATCH - As of Last week there was only enough money left to help 450 more Home Buyers with the $5000.00 up front money for closing...Quick BEFORE the money runs
out and April 30th is HERE!

There is still plenty of time to find your Dream Home.  What do you have to lose?


This is the worst thing that can happen.

1) You get pre- qualified FOR FREE through one of the ONLY 2 places in the Lehigh Valley that can offer you the Down payment and closing cost assist for the $8000.00 tax credit and YOU DO NOT QUALIFY.

2) You do qualify for the program AND between NOW and April 30th you do not find the home that fits your needs. STILL NOTHING LOST. At least you tried. So, You can still buy a home or you can just stay where you are.


3) You do qualify for the program, You find a Home and the seller picks the other offer.  Then it was not meant to be...BUT YOU STILL TRIED! So, we find another home! and try again.

BEST CASE. You Qualify, You Find a Home, The seller Accepts your offer and You GET 8000 TAX CREDIT - 5000 to help you purchase the home and 3000 within 12 to 24 weeks after you send in your amended Tax Return!


Don't Delay....contact me today and we will get started - IT COSTS YOU NOTHING FOR ME TO HELP YOU...The Seller's Agent shares their commission with me at settlement.

Lehigh Valley Home Buying LOANS for TODAY not YESTERDAY - A New Loan to Purchase Foreclosures

Lehigh  Valley Home Buyer Loans for TODAY not YESTERDAY. A NEW Loan to Buy  Foreclosures!  MAY 1ST 2010 Deadline - Use in addition to The Home Buyer Federal Tax Credit! NOW, THAT'S SO MAJOR INCENTIVE to purchase!

THIS LOAN IS OPEN TO OCCUPIED Home Buyers and Investors!  Holly COW - Investors normally needs to put down 20%, right!!!! come on people...this is GREAT!


WOW! There is a new Mortgage Loan in town.  He is only staying local for Home Purchases that close on or before May 1, 2010.  BUT, That's okay because to use the Tax Credit you need to be under agreement by April 30, 2010.  So, all agreements should be locked in with your Mortgage Lender by April 30th....Let's take a look at how much money YOU WILL BE SAVING!!!!!

I am soooooo excited!

If you get an FHA Loan - 3.5% Down - This is the most common loan because it has the
least restrictions, you can purchase a home anywhere in the Lehigh Valley OR EVEN PA FOR THAT MATTER.

Now with FHA - These loans have special FHA Appraisals that cost you about $400 to 475.00 to get them and they will NOT allow you to buy a home that has chipping or pealing paint in a home that was built prior to 1978...It is the best program out there RIGHT NOW!  But, for a short Time...WE NOW HAVE A NEW GAME IN TOWN LADIES AND GENTALMAN! if you are at a price range of 200,000.00 and under there is a really good chance you will be purchasing a home built prior to 1978....if you live in the Lehigh Valley Area.

WITH the NEW Temporary Fannie Mae
HomePath Mortgage Program - You can purchase a Fannie Mae owned FORECLOSURE, with 3% down which can save you bucks on the downpayment (100,000.00 loan for FHA $3500.00 down - Same loan with 3% down is only $3000.00) So, you say what the heck? MORIAH...$500.00 is NOT that much money? Yes, IT IS! With this $500.00 instead of using it for down payment it can be used for De-winterizing the property, Turning the Utilities on for the Home Inspecton and ordering the CO inspection. These are the major reasons why Home Buyer's can not afford to purchase a Foreclosed Home due to these extra out of pocket expenses.  PLUS...THAT'S NOT IT! Fannie Mae will also give YOU 3.5% toward your down payment and closing costs!  Holly COW! on a $100,000.00 purchase the bank will give you $3,500.00 toward your down payment and closing costs or this money can but used to purchase appliances for your new home...one of the items that are usually missing from a Foreclosed Property! yeah, the previous seller usually takes the appliances with them, wouldn't you?. Well, this can cost a New Home owner $3500.00 or more and HERE it is being paid for YOU! Awesome deal!!!!

So, now on a $100,000.00 property that is $4000.00 in cash that a Home Buyer can
get on a Foreclosed Home....Let's Review, FHA Loan gives you NOTHING and MAKES you put down an extra 5% and you can not even purchase many foreclosures due to the chipping and pealing paint!

NOW, Let's see what local lenders are going to get on board with helping offer this program to home buyers.

So, Far I noticed on the following Mortgage Lender List of our Lehigh Valley Po
pular Direct Lenders so far...showing on the Fannie Mae Website is Met Life Home Loans - who are the other players?

Okay, so HERE are some links to help

Lehigh Valley CASH Investors, PreApproved Short Sale - Bethlehem North Twin - Written Plan for 21% Return within 2 yrs - OFFER DEADLINE 2-15-10

Lehigh Valley CASH Investors, PreApproved Short Sale - Bethlehem North Twin - Written Plan for 21% Return within 2 yrs - OFFER DEADLINE 2-15-10

This is FOR REAL - BUT LIMITED Time...there's a catch you must have your written offer in by 2-15-10 and go to settlement on or before 2-26-10. Other wise the bank will be taking this one through the Foreclosure process.


Okay, Yeah this is for REAL. Check it out.  I ran ALL Estimate cost, expenses and projected Net Profits for YOU.

DO YOU LIKE a 21% RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT within 2 yrs?  Does Cap Rate Confuse you?  It's okay..I don't even mention cap rate...just plan simple cash return on your total investment and this deal can get you a 21% return over 2 years if you follow my plan.  I wish I had the money to invest  because I would do it myself and that's the plan truth!

MY PLAN.
Okay, See at the BOTTOM of this Blog information about Current Market Value, CO Report, Roof Estimate...I have everything covered...if I don't let me know and I will cover that too.

THE DISCLOSURE: This is given in My professional Opinion  all investments should be confirmed on an individual bases and by your tax accountant or investment specialist – Moriah Martin, RE/MAX real estate. (To me the numbers are proof)

PRE-APPROVED SHORT SALE - 83,720.30 - Yeah the bank even wants the .30 cents too...LOL

Propery Location: 931 Fernwood Street Bethlehem, PA 18018 - Click Here for LV MLS Details

Basic Features: 3 Beds 1 Bath, 1400 sq feet, Covered Front Porch, Updated Kitchen, Updated Electrical and Heating system (not highend or brand new not org either) Partial Finished Basement and Attic but needs so work, fenced in back yard, off street parking.


At the Most the property can use $15,000.00 – Low End Repairs – Not Highend this is an investment property.

$7000.00 for a new Roof – We have estimate Actually – The Estimate came in at 5000 but you may need to replace Plywood
$8000.00 For painting, Carpet, and other small repairs

The more you do the more the property will be worth of course.

Investment Estimated PURCHASE NUMBERS

The Purchase
Price = $83,720.30 (preapproved by Bank)
Closing Costs as Shown on Est HUD = $4067.15
TOTAL CASH NEEDED TO CLOSE = $87,787.45

(I can email you the Estimated HUD from the Title Company, yeah I know it's hard to believe..LOL)

Estimated  Repairs $15,000.00 + TOTAL CASH NEED TO CLOSE = 102,800.00 (rounded #’s)


OPTIONS

1) Rent Property for minimum $850.00 – see proof below (depending on updates could get more) Worst Case 850

(950 is proven by current market value)

2) Rent to Own for first 2 years and then sell at $118,000.00 this is slam dunk sale right now – see proof below - I am already working with Interested Lease option to Buy Home Buyers...they are Flocking in...the loans are harder to get...but, with me they work with Local Credit Repair Companies...okay, yeah...the right way to depend on a future sale.

OKAY, SO, Annual Rental Income at 850.00 per month = 10,200

Estimated Costs For Rental on Annual Basis

Maintenance Calls - $1500.00 - It's a good idea to use a Home Warranty Company to help.
Property Taxes – 2473.00

Property Ins 1000.00

YOUR Net Rental Income = $5227.00 Annual (based on all costs above) THIS IS WORST CASE.

If you resell in 2 years at 118,000.00 (this is worst case and a slam dunk deal in this market, if you don't think so just work with me and I can make it happen for you)

118,000.00 Minus cost of Sale in Future - *$3800.00 - Org Investment = 102,800.00 = $11,400.00 Net
YEEEEHAAAWWW

TOTAL NET OVER 2 YEARS = $21,854.00
or you can just continue to RENT year after year after year. Raising the rent $50.00 each year..etc.

*3800.00 Above is figured on using a Real Estate Agent (like me..lol) to assist in the sale in the future if needed a 2% plus other standard closing cost 1% Transfer and 110 deed prep and 35 notary fee
