I just spoke to one of my colleagues at Citizens Bank, and found out that borrowers with income of $39,000 or less can qualify for a fixed-rate, 30 year FHA mortgage rate of only 2.875%!

Start fixing your credit now, and be a homeowner by the summer

Do you know what it takes to become a homeowner? For most people it means borrowing money to purchase a home, paying their bills on time, and keeping their debt at a manageable level. If you want to become a homeowner this year, and have had credit issues, it’s time to consider using a professional credit repair service.

While it is possible to fix your credit yourself, most people never do so because they simply don’t have the time or energy for complete followup. The credit repair process can involve writing multiple letters, making numerous phone calls, and following up on various accounts to make sure the credit score is as high as possible. A professional credit repair service handles all of these tasks for you for a reasonable fee.

Start fixing your credit today. I know many people who have successfully used Lexington Law and Ovation Law to fix their credit reports. Both services offer a free consultation by phone. Don’t wait until December only to make another resolution. If you want to be a homeowner by the summer, start fixing your credit today.

Should you give a down payment as a gift?

It’s that time of year again when people are running around trying to find the perfect gift for their loved one. With home prices and mortgage interest rates at all-time lows, you should consider giving the gift of a down payment instead.

There’s a great article at CNNMoney.com with details on when it make sense to give a gift of down payment money, compared to lending the money or cosigning a loan.

If you are a first-time homebuyer who is hesitant because you don’t have the funds for a down payment or closing costs, you can turn to your family for assistance. You may also qualify for up to $3,500 in grants from the city and state (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Call me today at 215-922-7900, or at 267-918-3691 to schedule your free consultation today. You could own your new home in 45 days or less!
