  2009 Basic Allowance for Housing Rates The 2009 Basic Allowance for Housing payment rates are now available. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is based on geographic duty location, pay grade, and dependency status. BAH provides uniformed service members accurate and equitable housing compensation based on housing costs in local civilian housing markets, and is payable when government quarters are not provided. Since 2007 the BAH rates are now following the cost increases of the local rental housing markets. Although BAH rates will generally either remain stable or increase, there may be some areas that actually see a decrease in BAH rates. See what you can expect to get in 2009.  Please forward to anyone who may be moving to or from, Fort Rucker in the future.   Click the Link Below ...

Finding Financing Once a contract becomes binding, you probably will have to arrange for financing. Depending on the terms of the contract, the purchase of the home may be contingent on your being able to get financing at certain terms by a certain date. LendersThe REALTOR® might provide you a list of lenders. Most home buyers get loans through savings institutions and mortgage bankers and, to a lessor extent, from commercial banks, credit unions, or other private sources. In some cases, the seller may be willing to offer financing. Sellers often can offer a loan to a buyer at a competitive interest rate and attractive terms. Check on specifics. Types of loansIn general, three broad categories of loans are available: Private versus government loans - Most mortgage loans are made by sav...

Escrow InfoWhat is an Escrow?An escrow is a deposit of funds, a deed or other instrument by one party for the delivery to another party upon completion of a specific condition or event. It is an independent neutral account by which the interests of all parties to the transaction are protected. When opening an escrow, the buyer and seller of a piece of property establish terms and conditions for the transfer of ownership of that property. These terms and conditions are given to a third, impartial party known as the escrow holder. The escrow holder has the responsibility of seeing that the terms are carried out. The escrow is a "storehouse" for all monies, instructions and documents necessary for the sale of your home. This includes the buyer providing funds for a down payment, and the s...

Consider the ContractA valid real estate contract must be in writing and be freely offered by the buyer and accepted by the seller. All parties to the contract must be legally competent to do business. Money or other valuable consideration needs to be exchanged for title to the property. Keep in mind that if things go wrong, the buyer could require you to sell your home to him/her or pay damages. Be familiar with the terms of any contract you give to a would-be purchaser. Consider the contract as a whole. Is it slanted in favor of the buyer? If so, consult an attorney about making changes. Analyze the document as a series of paragraphs or clauses, each written to benefit one party or the other. Key Elements of the Contract Price and termsIf a low offer comes your way, remain cool until ...

Closing the TransactionThe sale is formally ended at the closing table. In most transaction, the closing lasts less than an hour and often occurs at the title company office. Your REALTOR® and the buyer's agent may be present, and a title company officer or escrow agent will preside. Basic documentsThe sale actually consists of two transactions: 1) transferring the property to the buyer and 2) paying off the existing mortgage on your home (or allowing the buyer to assume your mortgage). To transfer the property, the title company will present documents proving that you have the title. Proceeds of the sale may be disbursed at closing or shortly thereafter, once all paperwork and verifications has been processed. When you give your house key to the new owners, the sale is completed.

Choosing a LenderDespite an excess of loans and lenders, comparison shopping has been eased by the development of computer-loan origination systems and mortgage-reporting services - firms that survey major lenders in metropolitan areas every week or so and publish information sheets on who is offering what loans on what terms. Shop for lenders offering the best deals. Check with several mortgage companies and use one or more reporting services. Rely on your own efforts, lots of telephone calls and possibly some old-fashioned legwork. If there isn't a reporting service covering your area, begin the search at your own bank or savings and loan. Sources of Mortgage Money: Independent Mortgage Companies make just over half of all home mortgages, including most VA-guaranteed and FHA-insured l...

Buyer's Checklist There is no way to guarantee a "smooth" path from an approved contract to the settlement table, but doing your part is at least half the job. Expect minor problems and delays along the way. On the seller's side, title problems are a common cause of postponed settlements. On your side, bureaucratic snags such as extensive credit checks and slow appraisals can bog things down. In many cases, there isn't much you or the seller can do but wait. While you're waiting for completion of all the processes now in motion, you should: Apply for homeowners insurance on your new home. Get an exact accounting settlement cost, and make sure the money and necessary documents will be there at closing. Select a date for the final walk-through of the house. Contact utility companies abou...

  How To Avoid Home Buying Mistakes (edit/delete) 1. Not doing yourhomework. Enter the market well-prepared by researching location, school district, deed restrictions and taxes.   2. Trying to make a shrewd investment. Focus on finding the best place for you and your family to live rather than trying to predict the real estate market.   3. Choosing a poor location. Consider what part of town you would like to live in and avoid homes located on busy streets.   4. Overlooking an inferior floor plan for an attractive exterior. Choose a great floor plan over a great exterior because you'll spend far more time inside the house than outside.   5. Overlooking how the home will function for your family. Consider features that are most important to your family and choose a home that will meet t...
