HUD Buying Seminars

HUD Homebuyers Seminar

Are you a first-time homebuyer?

 

 

Good News!  The foreclosure rate is the lowest it's been since the housing crisis began and lenders are feeling positive about lending again.  So the question is, if the right home happens to come along, will you be ready to make your move??? 

 

   Approximately 70 percent of the calls my office receives each day are from people just like you, first-time homebuyers who finally have a chance at homeownership now that market conditions are right.  Purchasing your first home can be intimidating, but if you are armed with the right information, you will navigate your buying experience with ease. 

 

Of course, all homebuyers have questions, one of the most common that we receive is simply, "What is a HUD Home?"  There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the word "HUD".  So to clarify, a HUD Home is a property that is being offered for sale by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  But that's just the quick answer.  The more detailed answer would have to cover ALL the aspects that make a HUD Home an owner occupant's best friend!  The HUD Home sale and bidding process is designed to get owner occupants into homes.  It can really work in your favor.

 

If you are interested in buying a home and are just not sure where to start, I would be honored if you could join one of our HUD Homebuyer Seminars.  My team is very experienced in HUD Home sales and we are always looking for new ways to connect with homebuyers.

 

Take your first steps now.  Get involved.  Drop into our class for an hour or so.  Get any home buying questions you have answered now and so that you know exactly where you stand in terms of home ownership.  I bet it's closer than you think !!!

 

Our seminars are scheduled on Saturdays in our office, but we can also accommodate your schedule.  Please call us for more information at 248-758-0022.

Challenging Your Property Tax Assessment?

It's that time of year, your property tax assessments are arriving in the mail. Are you checking your assessment to make sure that it's accurate in today's market? If you feel that your assessment is too high there are some simple steps that you can take to challenge your assessment with your municipality.
- Compare your records to the assessor's records. Speak with the assessor, many times errors of fact can be corrected automatically without board review.
- If you are required to present to the review board, make sure you understand which properties the assessor used to determine your properties value, then find recent sales of properties similar to yours.
- For additional help, you may also consider hiring a licensed appraiser.

Could You Be A Good Neighbor Next Door?

Familiarize yourself with the basics of HUD's Good
 

Neighbor Next Door Program

 

 

• The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would like to promote home ownership and revitalize urban areas.

 

• The Good Neighbor Next Door program encourages full time Law Enforcement Officers, Teachers, Firefighters, and Emergency Responders to purchase and live in homes in revitalization areas.

 

• The home may be purchased at a 50 percent discount from the list price! 

•  You must live in the home for three years to take complete advantage of the grant.

By following this link to http://www.hudhomestore.com/Home/GNND.aspx, you can easily view the many homes that are available near you.

 

 

As always, we welcome any questions you have on this program or any other real estate topic.

 

 

 

Now is the time to buy

Should you buy instead of rent? 

 

Buy, absolutely.

When you rent, your monthly rental fees are gone forever. But a home is an investment.  And, when you own your home, you can take advantage of attractive tax deductions.     As a homeowner, you can also deduct the property taxes you pay. Additionally, your homes value may rise over the years. There's nothing like having your own space, and enjoying something that you can truly call your own!
