USAA is a great lender if...

We are local Realtors that have successfully closed hundreds of home purchases and we see financing from all different lenders local, online and out of state. We have great success with local lenders because they own and operate offices in Albuquerque that we can call or visit the same loan officer if we have a problem.
With online or out of state retail lenders is when we have the greatest probability of issues arising and closing ontime. We don't really know why this happens but consider there is not much accountability with no local person to go to or calling in to their call center and talking to a different loan officer/processor each time MAY have something to do with it. This includes Bank of America, Wells Fargo, USAA, Quicken Loans and many…

Some basic information that may help you in your quest for more information on a home listing.

If you notice the information located in the 'Additional Information' section of a MLS Listing Display. This information will be available for all listings and is typically located at the bottom right hand side of the display.

The 'Additional Information' will also let you know if the home is a Short Sale or Bank Owned Home. This can be useful if you are or are not interested in short sale's or foreclosures. If it does not specifically have RE/Bank Owned or Short Sale then it is just a regular sale.

Mortgage Insurance Rates Increase FHA
Thursday, March 8th, 2012 at 12:32pm. 184 Views, 1 Comments.
Beginning April 1st, 2012 FHA will be raising their upfront Mortgage Insurance. You may be asking yourself 'how does this effect me'?
Here is a scenario:
Your current loan approval amount $150,000 FHA
Old Monthly MI = 1.15% = $143.75 Monthly MI
New Monthly MI = $1.25% = $156.25 Monthly MI
Old Upfront MI = 1% or $1500 based on above loan amount (added to loan amount)
New Upfront MI = 1.75% or $2625 based on above loan amount (added to loan amount)
This means that you would qualify for about $5,000 less on your mortgage with the new increase beginning April. Your loan amount would decrease to $145,000.
This reduction may be signficant to a buyer trying to max out their purchase, which happens all the time, by the way. If you feel…

APS Stadium Information Northwest Albuquerque
Friday, March 2nd, 2012 at 12:33pm. 164 Views, 0 Comments.
The APS Stadium is going to be built. Here is some general information on the project and location in relation to neighborhoods. I am skeptical of the traffic but also feel that the location will suit this stadium well because of its location to the freeway. I think this will minimize traffic by the current neighborhoods and be a great ammenity to the entire Northwest side of Albuquerque.
