Interest Rates and the Dallas Cowboys

What do interest rates and the Dallas Cowboys have in common? Predictability. You never know what they're going to do! We are seeing interest rates bounce between 3.75% and 4.75% on Conventional/FHA/VA 30 year fixed loans. And each day its a new story.

We've shown you this before, but check out my blog entry at www.ImAhappyBuyer.com. Rates are even better than when this blog was written, which means we even a better opportunity right now.

What If?

What if you had the opportunity to purchase a home on a 15 year mortgage, allow us to find you a renter, 15 years from now own the home free and clear, and in 18 years sell the home and have most (if not all) of your child or grandchild's college tuition paid for?

What if you COULD sell your home for what you paid for it (despite what CNN says) and buy another home that is worth 12-18% more than the one you have owned - with the SAME or LESS MONEY PER month?

What if you could take the $1000 per month you are currently spending on rent, and pay less than that each month with an FHA/VA loan on a home worth $130,000?

This is opportunity that lies before all of us. For more details on what is available, check out www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com.

Make it a great week!

Thinking About Investing for College?

It is no secret that college cost are only going one way...up! I can show you how $7,000 invested today in a rent house, can turn into $109,000 15 years from now. I'm currently building a portfolio to ease the burden of college expenses when my children leave for school, and I can help you do this too. Of course it all starts at www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com.

What In The World Is Going On?

I don't have the answers for what's going on in the world, but I can help you better understand the local market. For three years we have called the market we are in a "price war and a beauty contest." The truth endures.

Our prices have also remained fairly stable. If you purchased a home for $200,000 five years ago, chances are we can sell it for that today. And this is GREAT news when compared to the rest of country.

For more information on our market, please tune into our show on Time Warner, Channel 15 (Monday, Thursday, Saturday). You can also listen to www.TheFallsPodCast.com.

I'm Ready to Buy!

If you are ready to buy today, you must check out www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com. See why over 3,000 local buyers have made this their main site for buying in our local market. Here you will fine GoogleEarth aerial images, virtual tours, and you can create your very own favorites list.

Sad You Missed the Federal Tax Credit?

Don't be! Check out my site at www.ImAHappyBuyer.com to see why the interest rates we are seeing today are far more valuable than a tax credit of $8000 last year. We have never seen rates this low. If you or someone you know would like more information or a lender to speak to, please contact me.

Reality Check

With the stock market losing or gaining 200 points every other day, hurricanes, elections, and foreign turmoil - it can be hard to sift through everything and get the real story of what is going on. For us, we have sold a home nearly every day this month. While the markets can be difficult to navigate these days, we are still making it happen day in and day out. If we can serve you in the days ahead, please let me know. We look forward to that opportunity.

Good Monday morning to you!

Financing Report
Many people have heard that finding financing for their next purchase is very difficult.
While the paperwork may be hefty, I have found that over 85% of the people I have worked with
this year do, indeed, qualify for financing of some sort. With rates at historical lows, there may never
be a better time to borrow money to purchase real estate. I work with many investors, and they are making
up a large part of the buying market. Always follow investors, they know when they see value.
