Mortgage interest rates are hovering near historic lows. Your phone, email, and mailbox are full of offers from lenders nationwide all promising great rates.You may have even accidentally responded to some ad promising rates so good, even good couldn’t get them. Only to find out it was really just an aggregate site like Lending Tree who isn’t even an actual lender. Rather, they bait you with awesome rates, then sell your information to multiple real lenders, who all now telemarket you to death.Refinancing makes sense, so who do you pick?It is well documented that your best deals are usually at your local non-bank lender / mortgage broker. While it may seem counter-intuitive, but using your current lender is usually never a deal.BEWARE of mortgage lenders creating a sense of urgency, and...

I represent taxpayers in Minneapolis, Minnesota and all the 50 States in the United State before all administrative levels—examination, collection, and appeals—of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).If a taxpayer owes money to the IRS, there is already a tax lien against them and all their assets, including those assets they acquire in the future.  The IRS often files a public notice to let all other creditors know that money will be paid to the IRS first, and that other unsecured creditors will be behind the IRS in priority. This filing is referred to as a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL), which is a public document filed to alert third parties that the taxpayer owes the IRS money.There are few options to get a lien remove so that a taxpayer you can their sell your home or refinance ev...

Spring is in the air. Do you know what else is in the air? Talk of low interest rates. If you haven’t caught wind that interest rates are historically low consider yourself an anomaly. Mortgage interest rates have continued to hover near all time lows for quite a long stretch of time, meaning now could be the best time for you to take advantage of them by refinancing your current mortgage or locking in a low rate for your next home purchase. Low interest rates may not last forever so take advantage of the situation while you can!The Benefits of a Refinance!If you already have a home that gives you all the feels, plan to own it for a while and your current rate is around 3% or higher… Looking into a refinance may be a great option. Refinancing your current mortgage is an especially great...

I represent taxpayers in Twin Cities, Minnesota and all the 50 States in the United State before all administrative levels—examination, collection, and appeals—of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).   One of the questions that are asked by taxpayers who have received a CP90 Notice(Intent to Levy) or have a case is in the collection division of the IRS is “What can the IRS can seize?”There are two types of federal tax levies issued by the IRS: a “regular” levy and a “continuing” levy. A continuing levy is a levy issued by the IRS on wages or routinely paid commissions, so it will remain in place until it is released.A “regular” levy issued by the IRS reaches the assets owned by the taxpayer now the levy is received.  For example: Assume Taxpayer owes the IRS $20,000.  Taxpayer has $400 i...

Thankfully, they said no. More details on the Bloomington home mentioned in this article.Our team had planned on listing at $250,000, but ultimately decided on $260,000 due to the interest in this property. 100 showing requests flooded in within hours of it hitting the...

                                              What's My Eden Prairie, MN Home Worth?Assessing the value of your home, your needs and your timeline can change a multitude of factors. How quickly you need the proceeds of the sale and the market conditions can help decide your path as you prepare to leave your current house. It’s a balance of current and future needs and the route you choose can always be changed until you enter into a contract.Currently in Eden Prairie, Minnesota the Supply of Homes For Sale has dropped to under One Month of supply. This means we are still in a Seller's Market. There is still a high demand for houses with a high supply of qualified Buyer's.The average days on the market is 32 days for all property types. Single Family Homes are averaging 46 days and Condo...

Minneapolis, MN: People spend weeks and months looking for that perfect home, but more often than not, make the mistake of using whatever Loan Officer answers the phone without question.  Why?On the largest financial transaction of your life, there are many things to consider besides a low interest rate or closing cost quote. Having a full suite of loan programs, experience, communications, and a long track record of on time successful closings are all things to consider.There are huge differences in Loan officers, from brand new unlicensed application clerks, to decades of experience professionals. Do you know which one you are using?I am proud that now for three years running, my peers and clients have again recognized me as one of the best in Minnesota, as a Super Mortgage Profession...

Historic Southwest Neighborhood SpotlightThe Historic Southwest neighborhood, as the name implies, is a well-established historic district rich in stories and well-known for its beautifully built estate-style residences. The neighborhood was established in 1863 when most of the lots were purchased, and initial homes were built in the community. As the area developed and the Mayo Clinic was constructed, additional homes were developed to support the growing demand, with growth ramping up between 1912 to 1914. In this post, we'll offer an in-depth review of the top highlights that make up why the Historic Southwest neighborhood is kept in high regard for buyers looking at a new home in the city.Check out our original blog post at https://www.domaillerealestate.com/.Historic CommunityAs a ...

New Hope Minnesota :Should I File All Back Tax Returns?Answer : It depends!I represent taxpayers in Twins Cities, Minnesota and all the 50 states in the United State before all adminstrative levels - examination, collection, and appeals - of the Internal Revenue Service(IRS).You may have some reasons to file additional years although most people are only required to go back the last 6 years for the IRS .The most common reason to file back tax returns beyond that required is to reduce outstanding liabilities related to back taxes.  In some cases, when a person fails to voluntarily file a tax return the IRS and Minnesota Department of Revenue will create a return on behalf of person called a Substitute for Return(SFR).Substitute for Return filings often result in a higher balance than wha...

Thinking of refinancing?  Been contacted by your current lender?Your current lender sounds like a logical choice to refinance. Many people believe that "because they know you" that somehow the current lender can refinance you quicker, cheaper, and faster.You couldn't be more wrong. There is no short cut to the refinance process with your current lender. Most people get very standard loans. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA loan, VA loan, and USDA loan guidelines are the same with all lenders. Therefore all lenders still need to do everything all over for your refinance, including your current lender.  You still need to sign the same application forms, and submit the exact same documents. Your application still needs to go through underwriting, there still are closing costs, title companies, ...
