How To Benefit From “Lease to Own” Homes

The tightening mortgage guidelines have left many potential homebuyer's unable to get a home loan. As a result, lease to own homes are becoming more and more well loved. Lease to own home (or rent to own homes as it is often called) have numerous benefits to the tenant buyer. Let's look at a few!

No Credit Qualifying
One of the largest reasons that people choose to get a lease to own home, is because they have credit issues that prevent them from securing conventional financing. Most lease to own approvals are based strictly on your ability to pay. This makes them very attractive to people who have terrible credit but stable returns.

Potential to Profit from Appreciation
Because the buy price is set up front in a lease to own contract, you know going in what you will be expected to pay for the home. If the home does appreciate during your rental period, you will still only be vital to pay the pre-agreed on price. This means that the appreciation goes to you, not the current home owner.

Decreased Down Payment
The changes in the mortgage industry have augmented the about of cash that you have to come up with to secure a loan. In fact, FHA just announced that it will be requiring 10% down from any person with a 580 credit score or less. With a lease to own home, you can get in for much less. The option fee you will be expected to pay will likely be somewhere between 2% and 5% of the buy price of the home.

Quick Go in Date
If you have ever been through the mortgage process, you know that it can take time and generally language involved a fantastic deal of hassle. When you get a lease to own home, the process is much more simple. In fact, if you take place to find a lease to own home that is vacant, you can go in as small as 24 hours.

No Taxes or Payments Over and Above Your Monthly Payment
When you get a lease to own home, you know your responsibilities up front. You may be vital to pay HOA but you will not be liable for taxes or insurance on the home. This can mean less cash out of pocket overall.

Foreclosure Sales – Avoid Them and Get the Property This Way

Tax delinquent property is an excellent investment. However, if you've been led to believe that attending foreclosure sales is the best way to buy this property, you've been led astray. While they may be a good place for large companies, foreclosure sales are no place for the new investor, or for anyone who is hoping to get a really stellar deal on a nice property.

Need A Job?  Start a Foreclosure Cleaning Business


The country is in trouble and what that means there is opportunity lurking around the corner for people who want to make money. The Phoenix area unemployment rate is almost 9% and getting worse!  If you have recently lost your job, you now what I am talking about.

Now is the time to act. The government bail out plan will not work. Only leading to more distressed properties falling victim to the foreclosure nightmare.

Foreclosed properties are here to stay for a while. There are key factors that have lead to this financial crisis.  One reason that this problem exists is thanks to Fannie and Freddie Mac.

Go out there and start a foreclosure business for yourself. There is no other feeling than being self employed. Go for it.

Phoenix Mortgage Interest Rates Moving Today?

Phoenix Mortgage Interest Rates Moving Today?

Looks like a choppy day ahead for Phoenix interest rates; I will continue to float interest rate locks to start but our finger is on the trigger based on the technicals.

Treasuries and mortgages (interest rates) opened weaker this morning after a strong rally yesterday for treasuries, taking the 10 yr note rate to its lowest in two months. At 8:00 the 10 yr -7/32, DJIA -16. At 8:30 the 10 yr -12/32 3.38% +5 BP, mortgage prices -8/32, DJIA -6. At 9:00 10 yr -12/32 3.38% +5 BP, mortgage prices -4/32 and the DJIA -13. At 9:30 the DJIA opened -26, 10 yr note -8/32 and mortgages at 9:30 -2/32.

Oct PPI out at 8:30, a good report for the inflation outlook. The overall PPI increased 0.3%, estimates were for +0.5%; the core excluding food and energy -0.6% against estimates of +0.1%. Yr/yr overall PPI +1.9%, the core yr/yr +0.7%; both lower than ion Sept. On the knee jerk the 10 yr recovered fro a moment then made new lows (price); mortgages tried to catch a bid but they too were printing new lows in the very early activity.

Looking back to yesterday; interest rate markets were rock solid most of the day with double digit price gains, a few lenders re-priced about 2:00 reflecting the improvement from morning prices. Interest Rates looked very strong until Dallas Fed Pres Fisher said he expected mortgage interest rates to widen over treasuries in the period ahead. That did it; heavy selling exploded in mortgages and all the gains were erased within 30 minutes. Later in the afternoon mortgage interest rates made another attempt to regain footing but going into the end of the day (5:00) mortgages once again were hit by selling leaving mortgage prices only 2/32 better than at 9:30 yesterday morning after being up 10/32 from morning pricing levels. This was a quick retreat for interest rates.

The economy has lost 15 million jobs so far; 876K jobs have been lost since July. Big numbers, the unemployment rate increased 0.4% from Sept to Oct to 10.2%. Banks still are reluctant to lend and remain vulnerable to further pressures. Yesterday Meredith Whitney, one of the premier bank analysts, said she thinks bank stocks are over-valued, causing bank stocks to slip on her comments. She added her name and reputation to the view of a double dip recession ahead; not looking for a re-test of the lows in the stock indexes but still a W on the economic recovery. Continued uncertainty, with the Fed cheer leading while many very reputable analysts are sounding bearish. The result for the bond market is an increase in volatility; rates at these low levels require continued verbal support, any comments to the contrary will set up selling keeping long term interest rates confined to tight ranges. In our view, unless consumers begin to spend the economic recovery will be slow and likely drag on through next year; bullish outlooks continue to ignore the fact that consumers account for 70% of GDP growth and concentrate on the idea the economy can recover as a jobless recovery.

What does the Fed have to say about interest rates?

What does the Fed have to say about interest rates?

Continue to float locks; we’ll go with it to start; no movement now until after Bernanke’s speech at about 12:00. Interest rates do not appear to have substantial volatility this morning.

Good start today; the interest rate markets opened stronger on the continuing weak dollar and slowly improving technicals. At 8:30 the 10 yr +8/32 3.39% -3 BP, mortgage prices +3/32; the DJIA futures +50.

8:30 brought Oct retail sales; expected to be +0.9% overall and ex autos +0.4%, as released sales were +1.4% overall and ex autos +0.2%. Initial reaction boosted interest rate prices a little and softened the stock index improvement but within minutes stock indexes bounced back and the rate markets backed off to where they were trading prior to the report. Retail sales are increasingly of interest to the interest rate markets as we move into Christmas shopping ( the politically correct reference is Holiday shopping). Retailers are racing to get what there is out there from consumers, normally late holiday price reductions are happening now.

The weakening dollar continues to drive interest rates lower and equity prices higher; the dollar is soft this morning (again). Who wants a strong dollar? No one; not the Fed, not Treasury and not Pres Obama (haven’t heard from Barney on his take; we think he is working on how he can blame mortgage brokers for the dollar fall). In his speech this afternoon Bernanke will likely have nothing to add or comment about the crashing dollar; it isn’t in the Fed domain of responsibility, Treasury leads on currency issues.

NAR: Housing, economy outlook hopeful

NAR: Housing, economy outlook hopefulAided by the home buyer tax credit, the outlook for housing and the economy appears headed for a sustainable recovery, the National Association of Realtors said Friday.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the projections are enhanced by a tax credit expansion to more home buyers through the middle of 2010. “In fact, the credit is working better than first projected — it now looks like we’ll have 2.3 to 2.4 million first-time buyers this year,” Yun said.

A consumer study by the NAR shows that first-time buyers accounted for a record 47 percent share of home sales over the past year, up from 41 percent in the 2008 survey. The share has risen steadily since a cyclical low of 36 percent in 2006.

Existing-home sales are expected to total 5.01 million in 2009, a gain of 2 percent over last year, and then are forecast to rise 13.6 percent to 5.69 million in 2010. “A steady draw down of inventory will help home values to turn positive in 2010, but risks such as unemployment remain in the economy,” Yun said.

New-home sales are projected at 397,000 this year, recovering to 549,000 in 2010. Housing starts, including multifamily units, should total 564,000 units this year but grow to 752,000 in 2010.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage will probably average 5.3 percent in the fourth quarter, rising gradually to 5.8 percent by the end of next year, NAR reported, adding that its housing affordability index will set a record in 2009, averaging 30 percentage points higher than 2008. Affordability will decline from record highs next year but will remain at historically attractive levels for home buyers.

A good day for interest rates!

A good day for interest rates!

Friday Phoenix mortgage interest rate update……….

I will continue to float over the weekend, but I caution not to let the locked loans pile up; keep your exposure from taking on too much risk. Like the market but not in love with it.  Interest rates have improved today.

If you were not watching the interest rate market early this morning you would think today wasn’t much of a day given the employment report this morning. As is the case most of the time, the employment report sets off hip shooting that results in lots of traders getting their pocket books lightened. Today when the unemployment rate hit 10.2% the bond market exploded in a strong rally, the stock index futures rolled down hard and mortgage prices jumped. It took about 30 minutes to settle down, then by 9:30 selling took over in the bond market and the DJIA traded up as much as 75 points at 9:50. Mortgage interest rates and treasuries dropped their gains, went negative, sat weaker for 30 minutes before returning to spend the rest of the day unchanged on the 10 yr and stock market while mortgages bounced back to levels at 9:30. Who cares? Lenders that priced before 9:30, market commentators like us and traders licking wounds on their knees. Just a rehash of how volatile the employment report usually is.

Non-farm job losses in Oct were more than expected, -190K; but were offset by a cumulative increase in job losses previously reported by 91K in Sept and October. The upward revisions were the saving grace and provided the spin the rest of the day. While unemployment is increasing and likely to hit 11% in the next year, it generally is pushed aside by traders in favor of the non-farm jobs counts; that is, when it is convenient. When unemployment rates begin to decline that data will be the focus. Still putting lipstick on the sow and trying to get her to the prom; the employment situation is getting worse, not better; no matter the spinners that see non-farm jobs only falling 200K a month as “good news”.

Consumers continue to cut credit; Sept declined $14.2B, mkts were expecting -$10B. The fourth consecutive month credit expansion declined. Banks are contributing by refusing to extend credit to otherwise qualified people.

President Obama signed legislation extending the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit and giving additional tax breaks to certain homeowners trading up. Passed overwhelmingly by Congress, the bill would provide a $6,500 tax credit to homeowners who are buying a new primary residence beginning Dec. 1. The language mandates that to get the credit the homeowner must have owned their home for five consecutive years of the previous eight. But there are caps on the tax credits. They only apply to individual buyers who make no more than $125,000 and $250,000 for couples. There is also an anti-flipping provision: Any homeowner who collects the credit and sells within three years must return the money. The FTHB was extended to cover consumers signing a contract by April 30 and closing by June 30.
