6 Dont’s After You Apply for a Mortgage in Sedona

June 29, 2012 By Troy Deierling Leave a Comment

Controlling your finances between the time you apply for a mortgage and the time you close escrow is critical. This is especially the case during the time that surrounds buying a home or real estate in Sedona  when people may to do some  things unknowingly that can harm the purchase of your new Sedona home. Here are a few that I’ve seen over the years that have delayed (and even killed) deals:

  1. Don’t deposit cash into your bank accounts. Lenders need to source your money and cash is not really traceable. Small, explainable deposits are fine, but getting $10,000 from your parents as a gift in cash is not. Discuss the proper way to track your assets with your loan officer.
  2. Don’t make any large purchases like a new car or a bunch of new furniture. New debt comes with it, including new monthly obligations. New obligations create new qualifications. People with new debt have higher ratios…higher ratios make for riskier loans…and sometimes qualified borrowers are no longer qualifying.
  3. Don’t co-sign other loans for anyone. When you co-sign, you are obligated. With that obligation comes higher ratios, as well. Even if you swear you won’t be making the payments, the lender will be counting the payment against you.
  4. Don’t change bank accounts. Remember, lenders need to source and track assets. That task is significantly easier when there is a consistency of accounts. Frankly, before you even transfer money between accounts, talk to your loan officer.
  5. Don’t apply for new credit. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a new credit card or a new car, when you have your credit report run by organizations in multiple financial channels (mortgage, credit card, auto, etc.), your FICO score will be affected. Lower credit scores can determine your interest rate and maybe even your eligibility for approval.
  6. Don’t close any credit accounts. Many clients have erroneously believed that having less available credit makes them less risky and more approvable. Wrong. A major component of your score is your length and depth credit history (as opposed to just your payment history) and your total usage of credit as a percentage of available credit. Closing accounts has a negative impact on both those determinants of your score.

The best advice is to fully disclose and discuss your plans with your loan officer before you do anything financial in nature. Any blip in income, assets, or credit should be reviewed and executed in a way to keep your application in the most positive light.

If you’d like to discuss this further or have any interest in Sedona homes for sale, just give us a call.

Buying a Second Home in Sedona AZ – Sedona Real Estate Guide

December 24, 2010 By Troy Deierling Leave a Comment

If you are in the enviable position of looking to buy a second property in Sedona then congratulations. The equity that you stand to gain from this purchase can be considerable, just remember to plan properly, to maximize your gain. The first step in this process is to decide what the second Sedona home will be utilized for. Is it a vacation home? Perhaps a long or short-term rental? Either way, the more detailed about your forward planning you are, the smoother the process will be.

If you are looking at this purchase as a source of income then certain steps should be taken to ensure the home will bring in as much money as possible, thus allowing you to pay off the mortgage quicker. For this type of investment, the cleaner the better. Nice homes are in high demand, and they fetch a good monthly rate.  Also, ask yourself, “am I ready to be a landlord?”   This will involve the task of finding and maintaining good tenants, and sometimes having to do what’s right for you and your property, not what’s right for the renters. If you have the tendency to be “too nice,” then being a land lord may not be for you.   You can also hire a property management firm to take care of finding tenants, writing the lease, collecting the rent and all the other things that need to get done.  They can do this for a portion of the rent and you can usually deduct it from your taxes.

10 Tips: Buying (or not) Short Sale Homes in Sedona AZ

November 30, 2010 By Troy Deierling Leave a Comment

A short sale is when a home is being sold for less than the owner owes on the home.  The seller may or may not be on the hook for the difference between the sales price and what’s owed.  Generally, in Arizona, they will not be.  The Bank or Mortgagee must approve the sale.  Usually these properties are already in the system for a foreclosure.

This is problematic to start with and do not go into this situation without your own buyer representative.  In my experience you may run into a seller who has little or no motivation to cooperate.  I’ve had the seller agree to the price and then leave on vacation (?) for a month and refuse to sign any paperwork from the lender till they return.

If handled properly by the listing agent, it can run smoothly but right now we have many real estate agents going out and listing short sales and having no idea what they should be doing to make it a viable property.

10 questions to ask when buying a short sale:

  1. How many mortgages are on the home?  More than one will really increase the difficulty (very, very difficult).
  2. Has a title report been pulled to confirm the number of loans on the property?
  3. Has the lender approved the listing price?
  4. Can I see the lender approval of the listing price?
  5. Has the seller submitted all the necessary paperwork for approval of the short sale?
  6. Can my Buyer Agent call the lender rep to confirm?
  7. Has the lender assigned a negotiator for the property?
  8. Has the lender ordered an appraisal?
  9. What kind of response time can I expect from the lender?
  10. How long is it going to take to close?

Our experience has not been very good with short sales.  Most are ill prepared for the market.  They will take quite awhile to close and in our experience, the bank may pull acceptance at the last moment if they have an appraisal that supports a higher sales price.

If you have a home to sell that is a short sale, you need to find an agent that has the systems to ensure your success.  It’s a complicated process and most real estate agents are not equipped to handle a short sale properly.  You can benefit though, you will likely be able to get a mortgage again in two years for a short sale versus 7 years on a foreclosure.

Foreclosures for buyers are a whole other animal and are much, much easier to acquire, but that’s another blog post.

SELLING A HOME THIS HOLIDAY SEASON IN SEDONA ARIZONA

November 14, 2010 By Troy Deierling Leave a Comment

SELLING A HOME THIS SEASON IN SEDONA ARIZONA

Don’t let the conventional belief that people don’t buy homes during the holidays stop you from putting your home on the market! If it is time for you to move from Sedona, chances are there is someone out there who needs to purchase your home as much as you need to sell it.

Sedona home sales have picked up, largely in part due to low interest rates and a growing belief the economy and real estate market are scraping along the bottom. The holiday season purchaser is often a much more serious buyer than at any other time. The tire kickers are staying home. You may have fewer showings but you’ll have genuinely interested buyers for your Sedona home.

This holiday season is the perfect time to showcase your home as a gracious place to gather with friends and family. Wise sellers will make the most of the opportunity to stage the home as an immaculately clean, neutral backdrop for elegant seasonal decor. Avoid excessive displays – leave Santa’s reindeer in storage, and decorate with white lights, a beautiful tree and tasteful greenery. Prepare your home for important visitors – the family that will purchase your home.

Any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to call or email us.

The Biggest Lie in Real Estate… “Location, Location, Location!”

November 11, 2010 By Troy Leave a Comment

The Biggest Lie in Real Estate… “Location, Location, Location!”

For decades, Realtors have been telling everybody “Location, Location, Location” for the reason that reason all real estate will or does not sell. In order to sell your house, they will explain that it all comes down to location. Nothing could possibly be further from the truth? There are actually three factors that determine whether or not a home sells or not: price, condition, and location.

Of the three, location is the least important since it can’t be controlled by anybody. Unless you have a big crane to move your home, you need to accept location to be a fact and proceed to the two variables you can manage.

Price is the most important element of selling every home. Sellers usually question, “What can our home sell for?” The answer is easy. A house will sell for about what homes of similar square footage, design, amenities, and in comparable neighborhoods have sold for lately.

The price tag should be based on the reality of similar house sales, certainly not on what you would “like to receive” or feel you “have to receive” for your property. Purchasers don’t care what you need for your home, they will only value what your home is worth to them based on the reality of record.

Condition is the last area that influences a property sale. If your house is in great condition, it ought to sell for approximately full market place value. If a property is in less-than-perfect condition, it won’t deliver the maximum amount of money. Purchasers may convey their impression of your home’s condition by way of their offering price.

In other words, price is by far the most important element of selling. Question any real estate agent you meet what the number one explanation is for a home not selling and, if they are honest, they’ll tell you, “Over-pricing by the seller!” Realtors all realise that the correct price will cause any house to sell, irrespective of location or condition. In case your property hasn’t sold because of the location, change the purchase price and it will probably sell. In case your home hasn’t sold because of condition, either correct what’s wrong, or adjust the purchase price until it does sell.
