Check If That Condo Is FHA /VA Approved

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 02:00:00 GMT

With the changing times in our housing market came big changes altogether for FHA and VA loan criteria. The biggest stunner was the condo/townhouse complexes that used to be FHA or VA approved; but alas no more.

Don't wait until after you get into contract to get shocked that the condo/townhouse is no longer approved by FHA or VA. Get your homework done and check before you list that property and check before you write that contract for your buyer.

You can get lists of complexes for FHA approved condo/townhouses/homes/communities for any state at this site: FHA approved homes and communities and this site is for VA approved condos.

Resolutions for Home Sellers in 2011

Paying it forward

Mon, 03 Jan 2011 08:35:00 GMT

Last night I was in the Super Market making a simple purchase before going to rent a movie for the night, an individual (later to find out his name was "Mark") asked me...'Is that your purchase" as I stared at my Bone-in half butt portion of Ham...looked at him with a smile and said ""Yip, that's mine." He reached in his pocket gave me $20 and said "Take this it's on me", for about 2 minutes we went back and fourth with me saying in many variations "No, I can't accept this, but thank you". Many of the store patrons around us was looking at this time and it was my turn to pay. He gave the cashier the cash and I thanked him profusely for his very gracious unselfish gift. I left him with my name and number and asked him to call me for coffee or lunch one day, and wished him a very Happy New Year.

It made me think that it was my turn to pay it forward, and I'm hoping one day that maybe you to may see a random stranger and join me to do the same. It may be a teenage kid grabbing a coffee at your local coffee house, or an elderly person making a simple purchase, or that "maybe" single mom with a child in the grocery store. Make someone's day, maybe even their year. Do the right thing, God Bless you all and have a great New Year!!!! Thanks again Mark!!!
