Contract for Deed, it’s back!

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Buyers who can’t get a mortgage are turning to contract for deed. it’s very popular in Maple Grove, Plymouth and Brooklyn Park. Sellers who can’t sell, but have equity are considering contract for deed to cash flow. It’s a win win for both parties. Simplified, the seller acts as the bank, the buyer makes the payments to include taxes and insurance with a set interest rate for a contract period usually 2-5 years. At the end of the contract the buyer refinances with a mortgage lender, seller is paid in full and both parties have solved the immediate need to buy and sell a property in todays market. Every situation is different but I’m finding that buyers who may have blemished credit and can’t qualify for a mortgage with a lender, but have a good job, money to put down are great candidates for contract for deed. The big bonus is that a contract for deed will qualify you for the home buyers tax credit. This could be for you! Please contact me for more information. Hurry to qualify for the IRS Tax Credit you must have a signed contract by April 30th!

Foreclosure Help

Are you upside down on your mortgage? In fear of losing your home? Can’t make your mortgage payments? You are not alone!
When a loan modification still isn’t enough to relieve your financial problems, a short sale could be your best option if:

Is your property worth less than the total mortgage you owe on it?
Do you have a financial hardship such as a job loss, salary decrease, loan baloon or major medical bills?
Have you contacted your lender only to get the run around?

Hire a qualified team. The first step to a short sale is to hire a qualified real estate professional and Short sales have proliferated only in the last few years, so it may be hard to find practitioners who have closed a lot of short sales. You want to work with those who demonstrate a thorough working knowledge of the short-sale process and who won’t try to take advantage of your situation or pressure you to do something that isn’t in your best interest.
