			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One misconception most people believe is that if you have a credit line, the best thing to do is to pay it off and close the account. That couldn&#8217;t be farther from the truth. The fact is, that that exact misconception keeps a credit score down and prevents you from obtaining new credit rather than affect your score positively.</p>
<p>The way bureaus grade you, or the way your score is compiled is by your ability to make payments on a monthly basis. So if you pay off a credit card(s) and close the account, the bureaus will look at your account as a person that may be having problems maintaining current balances. If someone shows a lack of ability to pay it is usually due to loss of employment or something along those lines. So what happens is the score will decrease as months go by that you don&#8217;t have any activity or a significant decrease in activity.</p>
<p>Your most advantageous move would be to maintain low balances if possible below $50 balance. If maintaining account balances that low is impossible at the time the next best thing is keeping your balance below half or your limit. If balances are kept up near the limit for multiple months the credit score will begin to decrease since to the credit bureaus this will appear as a desperation to keep afloat and living off of credit to survive. Again, loss of  employment is a common cause someone would use credit for everyday expenses and not pay it off at the end of the month. So in order to show lenders this person is a high risk the score will come down.</p>

<td>If you&#8217;ve been listening to the housing news, you&#8217;ve probably heard about some lending changes that were announced by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). While many of the news reports were confusing, the truth is pretty clear&#8230;and isn&#8217;t as bad as some people may have heard.</p>
<p>Overall the measures announced by the FHA are intended to help the organization better manage its risks and strengthen its capital reserves, while still providing home loans to the nation.</p>
<p>The good news, as FHA Commissioner David Stevens stated recently, is that &#8220;by continuing to provide affordable, responsible mortgage products, FHA will support the housing market&#8217;s recovery&#8221; and &#8220;remain the largest source of home purchase financing for underserved communities.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s Changing?</strong></p>
<p>If you or someone you know is considering an FHA loan, some of these changes may affect you. Here&#8217;s a clear, concise rundown of the major changes and what they mean:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Increased mortgage insurance. The mortgage insurance premium (referred to as private mortgage insurance by many people) will be increased from 1.75% to 2.25%. This change will add some cost to purchasing a home, but will not overburden consumers since the mortgage insurance is paid over the life of the loan, rather than upfront at closing. This change will become effective on April 5, 2010.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> New down payment and credit score requirements. According to the new policy, homebuyers who have a credit score of at least 580 may still be able to purchase a home with 3.5% down, but those with credit scores of less than 580 will be required to put down at least 10%. This change is designed to help the FHA balance its risk, while still providing affordable down payments for consumers with a history of good credit and responsibility.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Reduced seller concession. Basically, this change means that the person selling the home will now only be able to offer the homebuyer 3% to help defray closing costs, as opposed to 6% under the previous policy.</p>
<p>In addition to these changes, the new policies contain a series of new measures aimed at increasing lender enforcement.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that the changes will impact some homebuyers more than others. But in the end, the FHA is still committed to providing affordable home loans.</p>
<p><em><strong>If you&#8217;re concerned about your credit score or are worried about what these changes may mean to your specific situation, please call or email to schedule an appointment. There are many different programs available for homebuyers, so finding the right plan for you just requires a short discussion about your goals and financial picture.</strong></em></td>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you were eligible for the tax incentive of up to $8,000 for purchasing a home under President Obama&#8217;s plan and did not get an accepted offer from a seller by April 30, 2010 then you have missed the incentive but you are not alone. Many people speculate that there might be another type of plan in the future. But for now all it is is just that; pure speculation.</p>
<p>So you missed the tax incentive, things could be a lot worse. The price of homes could be that of what they were in 2005. What I&#8217;m saying is that although there is not a tax incentive at this time it is still a GREAT time to buy. We are closing loans for  our borrowers for homes recently puchased for as low as $45,000 or great deals of homes in the $300,000 plus range. So whatever your budget there has not been a better time to buy than now. Down payment for FHA loans are still only 3.5%. There is talk that FHA may raise that to 5% but for now it is still only 3.5%. Rates are remaining low and recently the Feds decided to keep them as they are.</p>
<p>We are seeing some competition out there from the contracts we&#8217;ve received from our borrowers. One way we can monitor that is we are having appraisals come in significantly below contract price in some cases and have even had buyers pay over appraised value. That also tells us that there are still great values out there to be had. If a buyer believes he/she has such a great deal that they are willing to pay over the appraised value, well that tells us it was too good of a deal to pass up.                  So although the President&#8217;s incentive is gone, there is still an incentive to buy now! That incentive is getting a great deal and a low fixed rate and it lies before you if you are looking to take that step.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>USDA loans are also known as Rural loans. This is the only No Down Payment loan available. Although things sometimes seem too good to be true, there are certain restrictions/limitations for these loans.</p>
<ul>
<li>First off these loans are only eligble to properties located in &#8220;rural areas&#8221;. Ie. Town of Maricopa, Queen Creek and Goodyear to name a few.</li>
<li>Income limitations See Chart Below</li>
</ul>
<p>Maricopa County- 1 to 4 Person Household – $75,750   5 to 8 Person Household – $100,000 </p>
<p>Pinal County- 1 to 4 Person Household &#8211; $73,600  5 to 8 Person Household &#8211; $97,150</p>
<p>A USDA/RURAL loan virtually allows you to buy a home without spending a dime. USDA allows the seller to contribute up to 6% of the purchase price towards borrower&#8217;s closing costs which in most cases covers all of the borrower&#8217;s closing costs. These loans can be used on new and resale homes as well as bank owned, foreclosed homes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><a href="http://www.the-mortgage-guys.com/Eight-Thousand-Dollars-for-New-Buyers.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-206" title="first_time_home_buyer_tax_credit" src="http://www.the-mortgage-guys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/first_time_home_buyer_tax_credit.jpg" alt="first_time_home_buyer_tax_credit" width="155" height="113" />EXPIRED-EXPIRED! Eight Thousand Dollars for New Buyers</a></h2>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t already heard, there is a new incentive for <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">first-time home buyers</span></strong> to get moving on <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">home </span></strong>purchases.  For many buyers, it takes time and much personal sacrifice (as it should) to save that down payment for the first<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> home</span></strong>.  The problem is, many new <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">buyers </span></strong>are wiped out after purchasing their home due to the fact that they used all of their savings for the down payment.  It&#8217;s a Catch-22 for many, and Uncle Sam has stepped in to help solve the problem.   <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-204" title="tax-credit-pic1" src="http://www.the-mortgage-guys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tax-credit-pic1.jpg" alt="tax-credit-pic1" width="120" height="146" /></p>
<p>The Congress has passed legislation to provide you as a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">first-time buyer</span></strong> up to a $<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">8,000 tax credit</span></strong>. For almost all taxpayers, this amounts to $8,000 cash, as it is a refundable <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">tax credit</span></strong>. This means that even if you have no tax liability at the end of the year, you&#8217;ll actually get a check for $8,000. The money is a gift, and does not ever have to be repaid.</p>
<p>You probably guessed restrictions were coming: The new tax credit offers a larger tax credit, but it also sports a laundry list of fine print-like restrictions, from the date of purchase to the buyer&#8217;s income. </p>
<h2>Here are a few pointers:</h2>
<ul style="color: #333333;">
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The $8,000</span></strong> (for all homes over $80,000) <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">tax credit is for first-time home buyers only</span></strong>.</li>
<li>The tax credit <strong>does not have to be repaid</strong>. Great news!</li>
<li>The tax credit is equal to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">10 percent</span> of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000 &#8211; that&#8217;s where the $80,000 home number comes in.</li>
<li>The credit is available purchases of homes on or after January 1, 2009 and <strong>before December 1, 2009</strong>.</li>
<li>There are incomes levels attached.  The limits are as follows:
<ul>
<li>Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 qualify for the full tax credit.</li>
<li>Married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit.   </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The spirit of the law is to aid first-time home buyers purchasing any kind of home—new or resale. To qualify for the tax credit, a home purchase must occur on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. For the purposes of the tax credit, and this is a biggie, <strong>the purchase date is the date when closing occurs and the title to the property transfers</strong> to the home owner.</p>
<p>Call with any questions, we&#8217;re more than glad to help</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mortgage rates</span> </strong>in <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AZ</span>. </strong>You may ask does it make a difference if you&#8217;re in another state, and it does matter.  For the most part <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">rates</span></strong> whether in <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AZ</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>or any other state are going to be very similar, they shouldn&#8217;t vary more than a half percent from one another. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Rates</span></strong> are also not the exact same at every lender or bank. You will also see that a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">rate</span></strong> can vary sometimes up to a quarter percent from one lender to another. To take a deeper look into what comprises a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">rate</span> </strong>you&#8217;ll realize that there is not a magical &#8217;standard&#8217; if you will that is set across the nation at every bank and lender. You&#8217;ll realize that so many variables weigh in that affect what sets your rate that it is no wonder that <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">rates</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>can have such big sways from one side to the other in a matter of days and sometimes hours!                                                                             <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-193" title="rates" src="http://www.the-mortgage-guys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/rates.jpg" alt="rates" width="126" height="83" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Rates</span></strong> can be affected dramatically in a day! In our years of experience we&#8217;ve seen rates sway up to a whole percent in one direction and by end of day end up one percent towards the opposite direction. It&#8217;s almost a guessing game. It should be an educated one, mind you. We are subscribed to an exclusive service that is a proven systematic outlook on what <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">mortgage rates</span></strong> will do throughout the day, with emails or sometimes phone calls alerting dramatic change in the market. We will be open with you communicating with you the entire way and will leave it up to you when you&#8217;d like to lock your rate.                                                    <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-194" title="lock" src="http://www.the-mortgage-guys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/lock.JPG" alt="lock" width="100" height="114" /></p>
<p>When can you lock your <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">mortgage rate</span></strong>? You can lock your <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">mortgage</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> <strong>rate</strong></span> once you have gone through our quick pre-approval process, have found a property and have an accepted contract on the property. If<strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">mortgage</span></strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">rates</span></strong> look like they will remain steady and you would like to wait and float your rate and hope for rates to lower you may do so acknowledging that rates could also rise so it&#8217;s a risk you take but one you may want to take if you are trying to get a lower <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">rate</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">.</span> </p>
<p>What do points mean? You will always see ads whether on TV or radio with lenders promising low rates, but what they fail to sometimes do is include what they will be charging you to get that rate. For instance you can pay your rate down by paying what are called, points. Points in reality are a percent. So for example one point (or one percent) of $100,000 = $1,000.  Any lender can do this it&#8217;s just a matter of how much you are paying upfront and if it really is a savvy decision financially for you which we can help you determine so that you make an educated decision.</p>

<p>Cuales son sus finanzas hoy?  <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-183" title="finances" src="http://www.the-mortgage-guys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/finances-150x150.jpg" alt="finances" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>Es importante saber dónde encaja ser dueño de <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">casa</span></strong> en su plan financiero completo. Hágase esta pregunta: ¿necesitaría hacer cambios a mi presupuesto para <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">comprar</span></strong> una <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>casa</strong></span>? ¿Significaría que tengo que estirar mis límites económicos? ¿<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Compra</span></strong>r una <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">casa</span></strong> me permitiría mantener mis otras metas de ahorros y estar preparado para emergencias?</p>
<p>Alquilar le puede dejar más dinero cada mes, si el alquiler es menor que el pago de una <strong>hipoteca</strong> (que es lo que sucede con frecuencia). Además, los inquilinos o arrendatarios llaman al arrendador cuando la llave gotea. Los dueños de casa llaman al plomero y pagan la cuenta.</p>
<p><strong>Compra</strong>r una <strong>casa </strong>le ofrece ventajas con sus impuestos sobre ingresos. Y es posible que le ofrezca la posibilidad de acumular valor en su <strong>casa</strong>, debido a que tendría la oportunidad de reducir el saldo del <strong>préstamo</strong> con el paso del tiempo (y posiblemente pagarlo por completo), lo que podría aumentar el valor acumulado de la casa (la diferencia entre el valor de la <strong>casa</strong> y la cantidad que todavía se adeuda sobre la <strong>hipoteca</strong>).</p>
<p>Viendo hacia el futuro    <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-184" title="crystal-ball" src="http://www.the-mortgage-guys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/crystal-ball.jpg" alt="crystal-ball" width="99" height="148" /><br />
<strong>Comprar </strong>una<strong> casa</strong> es un compromiso económico que requiere que haga planes por adelantado, que reflejen hacia dónde se dirige su vida y qué es lo que desea lograr durante el camino. Hágase esta pregunta: ¿qué otras metas financieras me gustaría alcanzar después de comprar una casa? ¿Qué es más importante para mí: la oportunidad de acumular valor sobre la casa con el paso del tiempo, o quizás tener más dinero disponible ahora?</p>
<p>Alquilar por lo general hace que sea más fácil reubicarse (por ejemplo, para seguir una oportunidad de empleo). Y si el alquiler fuera menos que el pago de la hipoteca, alquilar le permitiría contribuir más hacia metas específicas de ahorro, como ahorros para la jubilación, gastos educativos, viajes en el futuro u otras inversiones.</p>
<p><strong>Comprar </strong>una<strong> casa</strong> puede tener sentido si desea poner sus costos de vida mensuales en algo que eventualmente podría pagar por completo y del cual podría ser el dueño.</p>
<p>Solo usted puede decidir si <strong>comprar </strong>una<strong> casa</strong> se ajusta a su vida actualmente y si será adecuado para sus planes en el futuro. Si siente que está listo para dar un paso hacia adelante, puede investigar en más detalle acerca de <strong>comprar </strong>una<strong> casa</strong> con una simple llamada de telefono. Y si <strong>comprar</strong> una <strong>casa </strong>en <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AZ</span></strong>  o en otro estado es el paso adecuado para usted en este momento asegurese que le ayudaremos hacer el paso que sea para mejor beneficio de usted. </p>

<p>La puntuación de crédito es un número único que ayuda a los prestadores y demás interesados a decidir cuáles son las probabilidades de que usted va a pagar sus deudas. Una clase de puntuación de crédito es la puntuación FICO (siglas en inglés de Fair Isaac Corporation Inc., la compañía que desarrolló un método común de puntuación). La puntuación FICO varía entre 300 y 850 puntos.</p>
<p>Cuando usted solicita una hipoteca, se evalúa su puntuación de crédito. Esta puntuación también puede usarse para determinar la tasa de interés de su hipoteca.</p>
<p>Su puntuación de crédito está basada en varios tipos de información contenida en su informe de crédito:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Su historial de pagos.</strong><br />
Los pagos atrasados disminuirán su puntuación de crédito.</li>
<li><strong>La cantidad de deuda que usted debe.</strong><br />
Si sus tarjetas de crédito han llegado al límite, su puntuación de crédito puede disminuir, aún cuando la cantidad que usted debe sea baja.<strong>  </p>
<p></strong></li>
<li><strong>El tiempo que usted lleva usando crédito.<br />
</strong>El tiempo que usted lleva usando crédito es importante. Si usted demuestra que administra su crédito sabiamente, mantiene bajos los saldos de las tarjetas de crédito y paga sus cuentas a tiempo, su puntuación de crédito se verá afectada de manera positiva.</li>
<li><strong>La frecuencia con que usted solicita nuevos créditos y asume deudas nuevas.</strong><br />
Si usted ha solicitado varias tarjetas de crédito al mismo tiempo, su puntuación de crédito puede disminuir.</li>
<li><strong>Los tipos de crédito que usted usa actualmente.</strong><br />
Aquí se incluyen las tarjetas de crédito, tarjetas de tiendas al detalle, préstamos a plazos, cuentas de compañías financieras e hipotecas.</li>
</ul>
<p>Su puntuación de crédito es sólo un factor cuando se considera otorgarle un préstamo para la compra de una casa. Los prestadores hipotecarios también estudian su informe de crédito, historial de empleos, ingresos, la proporción entre sus deudas y sus ingresos y el valor de la casa que usted desea comprar.</p>
<p><strong>Lo que significan los números</strong><br />
FICO no ofrece al público las estadísticas específicas relacionadas a las puntuaciones de crédito. Sin embargo, sí proporciona algunos números generales que le pueden ayudar a comprender cómo interpretar su puntuación de crédito:</p>
<ul>
<li>Las puntuaciones de crédito entre 770 a 850 se consideran muy buenas, y por lo general, las mejores tasas de crédito están a la disponibilidad de los prestatarios dentro de este rango.</li>
<li>Las puntuaciones de crédito por encima de 700 se consideran buenas, según FICO, y la mayoría de los prestatarios tienen puntuaciones de crédito dentro de este rango. La puntuación de crédito promedio es de alrededor de 725.</li>
<li>Si las puntuaciones de crédito están por debajo de 650, los prestatarios reciben tasas de interés más altas cuando solicitan crédito.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Para calificar para un <strong>prestamo</strong> de <strong>casa </strong><strong>FHA </strong><strong>, </strong>se necesita un puntuaje de credito minimo de 620.  <strong>Los </strong>prestamos <strong>de casa de FHA </strong> para la <strong>compra de casa</strong> se necesitan poner un 3.5% de enganche de el precio de la <strong>casa</strong>. Se pueden utilizar fondos de parte del vendedor para los costos de cierre, el maximo que se puede utilizar de parte del vendedor para los costos de cierre del <strong>prestamo</strong> son 6% del precio de la <strong>casa</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>FHA</strong> permite  que el comprador utilize fondos  de parte de un familiar para el 3.5% de enganche. Para utilizar fondos de un pariente solo se necesita una carta  de parte del pariente que indica que el dinero que se utilize para el <strong>prestamo</strong> de parte de el es un regalo y no un <strong>prestamo</strong> que se necesita regresar o pagar de regreso al pariente.  <strong>FHA</strong> permite que haiga colecciones o deudas no pagadas pero necesitan ser colecciones que no sean muy recientes. Si usted a tenido problemas con colecciones en el pasado no necesariamente indica que no puede calificar.</p>
<p>Si usted tiene preguntas sobre los <strong>prestamos de casa de FHA</strong> nos puede llamar con sus preguntas.</p>
