Real Living's Peace of Mind Mortgage Protection

May. 30, 2009

Categorized in: Real Estate

Tagged with: finance, mortgage, real living her

It’s called “Peace of Mind.” (.pdf document from Real Living HER with details, terms)

It’s in the Columbus Dispatch yesterday Local real-estate agency will pay mortgages of clients who lose jobs

” The Columbus-based real estate firm Real Living HER announced today that it will cover the mortgage of clients who lose their jobs.

The firm, the largest in central Ohio, says it is the first real-estate company in the area to offer the protection, which some car makers and home builders also offer.”

You have to work with a Real Living HER agent (have I mentioned I am one?) and get a Real Living mortgage on the home of your dreams. The Peace of Mind insurance program is for a limited time. *

Buy a Real Living HER listing and the benefits increase…. this would be a great weekend to visit some of the Real Living HER Open Houses huh? Real Living HER is in Central Ohio. I am an agent with Real Living HER Worthington. Looking for a home?

Thanks to Miriam Bernstein a real estate blogger in Westchester NY for the heads up on this video... about Bear Stearns. The political message at the end of the video does not necessarily express the politics of this blog because this blog is absolutely, positively, totally apolitical... but gee whilickers what a great video about expert financial advice in 2008.

Video - Expert Financial Advice March 2008 A mini historical YouTube documentary of 2008.

Home Buyers Look for Deals

Mar. 18, 2008

Tagged with: fha, finance, quiz, real living mortgage

The headline of WOSU article: "Potential Homeowners Look For Deals." The article quotes the Columbus Board of Realtors about the January 2008 inventory in Central Ohio but says "buyers beware" that they may need six months of mortgage payment up front.

As part of the downpayment? Reserves?

FHA financing to the rescue.

New FHA limits, effective March 5, 2008 Buyer Quiz... take the quiz but here's a hint on one question. Buyers do not need two months of reserves... much less six.

What happened in the mortgage market in the past six years? Why do we have so many foreclosures nationally?

From mortgage professional Dan Green in Cincinnati, a graphic video that shows how it happened, the mortgage market expanding and then contracting, changing mortgage guidlines. This is not / was not just sub prime mortgages.

Dan writes The Mortgage Report - he called the entry about his video Mortgage Video: Why It Matters When Mortgage Guidelines Change

null

I found Dan's video on Teri Lussier's The Brick Ranch blog about Huber Heights Ohio (Dayton area.) If you go really far back somewhere on this blog there is at least one post inspired by Dan Green... but it was when he was in Chicago.

Need mortgage info... read Dan Green's blog...
