Gone are the days of 40 year AM's and 0 down

So a couple weeks ago I had sent out an email saying that we have a deadline of October 15th to do 0 down mortgages and 40 year amortizations.

Well it seems as though that deadline was not a real deadline for most of the lenders. As of right now all lenders, except for a very small handful, have cut the program all together.

We have verification that one lender for sure will use the October 15th deadline and that's it.If you know of anyone wanting to get in with this, let me know immediately and we will have them pre-approved for a purchase by the deadline.

Selling your home for maximum profit

When you decide it is time to list your home for sale, it is important to then work on getting the best possible sales price, and ultimately the highest profit from the sale that you can. To this end, there are four factors which will determine the price that your property will sell for. They are: location, price, condition and you’re listing agent. Let’s take a moment to look at each of these factors in-depth:

Condition
Your home’s condition is paramount when it comes to making or breaking a sale. Your home should be as clean as absolutely possible, and clutter free, at all times when the home could be shown to potential buyers. If your property is empty when you will have it on the market, then you might want to consider having the home “staged.” Staging is where you pay a company to come in and furnish your home in the best way possible to help buyers see the positive aspects of a home and notice less of the negative aspects of it. Staging a home can be completed for a couple thousand dollars and can greatly enhance its appeal to potential buyers.

The condition of your front and back yards should be impeccable as well. All trees and shrubs should be neatly trimmed, and flowers should be planted to make the home more inviting to prospective buyers.
