WHAT ALL SENIORS NEED TO KNOW <*<*<*<*

I just had an appointment with my clients mother-in-law and it was so humbling to see her in the situation she is in. I know as a real estate agent that I could get this mother to sell but I also knew for her that was not the thing to do. She is healthy and active and she wants to be indepenent so I gave her a way to do that.

A "Reverse Mortgage" is just what she needs. It is designed for senior citizens to convert home equity to cash funds WITHOUT monthly payments.

No credit score OR income requirements.

Developed and approved by the Dept of Housing since 1990.

Supported by AARP and the Financial Planners Association.

Funds can be used for anything (Medical, Debts, Payoff Mortgage, help family, ...)

HOMEOWNERS MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF THE HOME. DON'T LET FINANCIAL WORRIES GET YOU DOWN, CALL TODAY.

HEY! THERE IS STILL A HOUSE BONUS OUT THERE!

If you think the "Tax Credit " is gone, yes it is but the "Discount is Not Gone".
There are still lots of homes for sale out there. For sellers, they know that they have to compete with the foreclosures out there so they are giving discounts. That discount is your "Tax Credit"

If you are looking at Foreclosures or Short Sales, they also are giving a "Tax Credit" in the form of a reduction in the price and sometimes a "Big Reduction".

With all that said, "your Tax Credit" is still there, so please get out there and buy while you can. Low rates will not be there forever.

Secret #1 for Saving Thousands When Finding and Financing your New Home

Two things you need to consider here:

YOUR NEEDS AND YOUR WANTS...
You may need a 4 bedroom because of children but you also know you want a certain school... What do you do if you cannot afford both?

What you will find is your needs are fairly basic. It's the "wants" that take a little more time to clarify. Here is a list of needs you should consider BEFORE looking for your home:

1. General price range of home - we'll cover this ahead when discussing financing options and the amount of home you can afford.

2. Approximate size of home (decide on a reasonable range.)

3. General location, area, or subdivision.

4. # of bedrooms required (don't forget to include home office or guest rooms needed).

5. # of bathrooms

6. Style and layout of home: Do you want a more formal plan or a contemporary plan with great room design.

7. School requirements, job location (where are the best areas for both)

8. Check out the "First Time Buyer Credit and the Move-up Credit.

Stay tuned for "Secret #2"
