I get asked all the time "why do I like being a REALTOR". The number reason is that I enjoy the people that I work with. I couldn't ask for better coworkers. They support me, and are always there when needed. Everyone that knows me, knows that I have my first (and probably only) baby on the way. A little girl named Ella Grey, that is due on October 28th. The office that I work in the Long and Foster in Martinsburg, WV. threw me and My wife Melissa a suprise Baby Shower, well it was a suprise for Melissa, I had to be the one to get her there. I was shocked at all the great gifts that they gave us, and all the effort that they put into getting this together. They helped make a very stressful time of getting ready for the baby, a much more enjoyable time. They are Awesome!   Below is a Pic...

  Buying A HUD Home - How Can I Buy A HUD Home ?   I thought I would take a short break from my blog series on "How To Sell HUD Homes" and do a short one for Buyers on "How to Buy A HUD Home" Almost anyone can buy a HUD Home. Generally, there are several "bid periods" though. Initially, owner occupants, non profits and government agencies have the opportunity to bid on the properties. After that period, if the property is still available, then investors can bid. You will need a HUD approved real estate agent to assist you with the online bid process. HUD pays the real estate agent's fee. You should never have to pay an agent a fee to submit an online bid for a HUD Home. You can find a HUD approved real estate agent at www.HUD.GOV/HUDHomes. You will need a pre-approval letter from a mort...

Selling HUD Homes - Property Conditions and Disclosures All HUD Homes are sold strictly "AS IS". The FSMs inspect the property when it is received into HUDs inventory. There may be hidden defects like termite, mechanical, structural, water, lead based paint, which may make the property uninhabitable. HUD also does not guarantee that the property will meet local codes, building codes, or that there are no easements or title issues. This is the risk that the buyers takes when bidding on a HUD Home.  Page 3 of the Sales Contract (HUD-9548) has a statement regarding condition, make sure that your buyers REALLY read it. Print all the Property Condition Reports and Property Condition Summary for your information and for the buyer to read before submitting the bid online. I have the buyers in...

HUD Homes - Selling HUD Homes and How to SHow A HUD Home   When you have a buyer that wants to see a HUD Home, call and schedule the appointment with the Listing Broker. HUD Homes may have electronic lockboxes or other types of combo lockbox. It is up to the Listing Broker. At this time, I am aware of 5 different HUD door keys and 1 HUD padlock key. I carry a full set of keys with me at all times, just in case a key is missing from a lockbox. Listing Brokers do not change the locks on HUD Homes, the FSMs do that. The Listing Broker does not know which key will be used until they do their initial inspections.            IMPORTANT NOTICE !        Buyers and buyer’s contractors MUST be accompanied by a licensed Real Estate Agent when visiting the properties. They are considered to be tresp...

One of HUDs objectives is to provide the opportunity for home ownership to some who have not previously been able to own a home. HUD has established some special programs to meet that goal. These are not available in all areas. Contact HUD or a HUD registered agent. REVITALIZATION AREAS   FHA has designated Revitalization Areas in some geograpihic areas that have been extremely hard hit by the housing crisis. The National Housing Act has given FHA this authority and enables HUD to help promote homeownership which in turn will enable growth and expansion in the areas with the aid of federal assistance for for affordable housing. The criteria for designation is based on:   Average Household Income Homeownership Rate FHA-insured mortgage foreclosure activity   The special HUD programs offe...

The real answer is that almost anyone can buy a HUD Home at some point (if they can show proof of funds or have a written proof of pre-approval by a mortgage lender)  but there are several "Bid Periods" that have occupancy requirements during that period. Asset Managers (AM) adhere strictly to Fair Housing Lawsin the sale of all HUD Homes. There are 3 types of property listings based on the insurability of the property. This is determined by the condition of the property. IN = Insurable Listing - This property is most likely in acceptable condition for an FHA 203(b) loan, using the appraisal that HUD already has on the property (for FHA loans only) IE = Insurable-Escrow Listing - This property needs repairs < $5,000. If using FHA financing, the buyer can pay this out of pocket or add it...

Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart) perform this fabulous rendition of "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zepellin  at The Kennedy Center Honors on December 2, 2012...the best is watching the band hear their music played.  Great tribute. I am pretty sure they had tears in their eyes, it was hard not to. "Stairway To Heaven" There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is goldAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven.When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closedWith a word she can get what she came for.Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.Ooh, it makes me wonder,Ooh, it makes me wonder.Th...

It is 2013, and the home you own has now become impossible to keep. Maybe it is a job loss, an illness, a death or the economy has just taken too large a bite out of your shrinking paycheck and you can longer make your payments. So you start to explore options...short sale or maybe foreclosure. After all, you likely have family or friends that have had to do the same and they came through it ok, their credit is banged up some, but they will recover eventually. They have hopefully had their debt forgiven, and The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 has spared them the ultimate "kick in the seat" of having to pay income taxes on the loss. What??? you think to yourself? Surely it is not possible that I could lose my home, having a true hardship, and then have to pay income tax on the amount o...
