Don't Let This Opportunity Slip By!

I've talked about this before, but I have now had the opportunity to participate in one. I am talking about the Making Home Affordable Program. This program is designed for borrowers who are upside down on their homes, have a higher interest rate than today's low rates or have an adjustable or intermediate ARM that will be adjusting soon.
If your loan is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, you've had no 30 day lates on your mortgage in the last 12 months, and your 1st mortgage is not greater than 105% of the current appraised value, you most likely will be eligible to participate in this program. It typically doesn't require income or asset documentation if it is owned by Freddie Mac, but does if it is owned by Fannie Mae.

The following lin
ks will help you or someone you know determine if their loan is owned by Fannie or Freddie:
The reason I'm sending this again is that this program could actually help many people. If you have a 2nd mortgage or Home Equity Line of Credit, they will usually subordinate behind this new loan and there is no limit to the combined loan to value that they will allow.
Please forward this on to anyone who may be in need of this program. I'd be more than happy to help them determine whether or not they are eligible. And remember, you don't have to be in distress or financial hardship to qualify, so those who just want to get a better rate on their home mortgage can participate as well.

CASH For Appliances - Just in Time for the holidays

CASH for Appliances— Coming Your Way SOON!! By the end of 2009, consumers nationwide will be able to take advantage of a federal "cash for appliances" program offering rebates on purchases of a wide array of home appliances certified as energyefficient by the EPA's Energy Star program. Backed by an initial $300 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the state-run rebate program is intended to help make American homes more energy-efficient while further stimulating the economy. Who Will Run the Program? Each state will administer its own cash for appliances program. The states will be free to select which residential Energy Star qualified appliances to include in their programs and the individual rebate amount offered for each appliance. What Can You Buy? The Department of Energy (DOE) has recommended that the states focus their cash for appliances rebate efforts on heating and cooling equipment, appliances, and water heaters as these products ...

Proposition 8 - Can reduce your property tax bill

Today I would like to try to save you and your friends some cash on your next property tax bill. If you currently don't own real estate please feel free to forward this email to your friends and family that may benefit from Prop 8. Proposition 8 – What is it? Will it save you money? In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that allows a temporary reduction in assessed value when a property suffers a “decline-in-value.” A decline-in-value occurs when the current market value of your property is less than the current assessed value as of January 1. If you purchase d your home or investment property during or after 2003 your current assess ed value may qualify for a reduction.

You can save about 1.25% for each dollar of reduced assessment. For example if your property ass...
