Read Allan Pape's post today Are You Considering Walking Away From Your House Then You Have Got To Know Your Options  that mentioned the Fannie Mae site http://knowyouroptions.com which provides information on options for homeowners who can not afford their mortgage payments. Shortly after, I went to the site to check it out. I must say, it is an invaluable site for anyone who is not able to pay their mortgage. As the blog post stated, the site does outline the 3 options available to someone in that position, namely foreclosure, deed-in-lieu and short sale. I think most anyone these days is very familiar with foreclosure and short sale and many may know what a deed-in-lieu is. However, I didn't know what deed-for-lease was until now. In a deed-for-lease the homeowner can rent bank the p... 08/12/2010

While very helpful, home warranties have often been a great source of frustration for homeowners. A growing sentiment among frustrated and dissatisfied homeowners is that the home warranty companies are reluctant to ... 07/14/2010

Can you be separated from a spouse and purchase a new home as sole owner? North Carolina is a marital interest state. That simply means when one spouse owns real property the other spouse has marital interest whether it was purchased prior to the marriage, purchased while  happily married or separated. Oftentimes, I have sellers who think their spouse doesn't need to be involved in the sale of a home because they may have purchased the home prior to the marriage and the deed to the property is only in their name. That is irrelevant. Once the spouse with the property marries, that new spouse owns half the interest in that property. Sometimes that news doesn't go over very well with some clients but most often it's not an issue. It also works for purchasing a home. Because a separation is... 07/04/2010
