<p>www.myfirsthomeblog.com House prices fell to their lowest level for 15 months in August, a survey published reveals, as the number of potential buyers continues to be limited by a shortage of mortgage finance. Figures from the CML found that 56000 mortgages were issued to buyers in July, 7% more than in June. But the rise in activity disguised a &#8220;very weak market&#8221; during a period that is usually a strong part of the year. The CML said about 19400 loans were taken out by people buying their first home, 2% fewer than during June. The average deposit put down by a first-time buyer remained at June&#8217;s level of 24%, after falling to 21% during the spring. There was also a fall in the average income multiple lenders advanced to first-time buyers: it dropped to 3.14 times their pay from 3.28 times in June Click on this link to find out more and register your interest: eepurl.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel of our nation&#8217;s economic woes. If you are still cash positive and looking to fix up your home, why not consider a <strong>home improvement loan</strong>? Rather than dump your excess cash it might be wise to get a loan for the cost of the <strong>home repairs</strong> and upgrades you want to make. If you have already thought about this, but didn&#8217;t know how to get started have no fear. We did the research and have provided you an easy road map to getting one of the many home improvement loans available.</p>
<h2>Home Improvement Loans: The Basics</h2>
<p><span id="more-371"></span></p>
<h3>Getting Started:</h3>
<p>Just like a loan for a home, a <strong>Home Improvement Loan</strong> is equity for interest as with any other loan. It is a serious undertaking and you shouldn&#8217;t even think about it if there is a remote chance you can&#8217;t balance it financially. A home improvement loan is not a windfall or an opportunity to see Europe with the money.</p>
<h3>Assess Your Home Properly</h3>
<p>Make an honest assessment of what needs repairing and upgrading. Some repairs can take precedence over others and there is no rule that says you have to renovate your entire house in one shot. Just as you should not take on more loan than you can afford to pay back, home improvements should be made cautiously and be carefully planned out. If you can tell that your home needs some repair, but not exactly sure of how much, bring in a professional home inspector or appraiser to get a proper vision of you home and the possibilities. Once you have zeroed in on the scope of the project, begin crafting an exacting budget for exactly how much the project will cost. Build in contingencies for overages, time loss due to weather/seasons and other possibly unforeseen issues.</p>
<h3>Choose Your Lender</h3>
<p>Chances are if you have a good handle on your finances you already have a lender in mind. Perhaps one you already have a relationship with or someone new is in order. If this is not the case, there are not shortage of options to consider. Many banks and financial institutions have lending specialists just for this purpose. In addition <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/topics/home_improvements " rel="nofollow">HUD</a> has some excellent resources for finding <a href=" http://www.hud.gov/ll/code/llslcrit.cfm" rel="nofollow">lenders</a> as well that are worth looking into. If you have issues with poor or not good enough credit you can always offer to pay a higher interest, shorter-time to pay back or both. Don&#8217;t consider taking on a loan you cannot afford to pay back, ever.</p>
<h3>The Paper Trail</h3>
<p>Make sure all of your paper work is in order at all times. Make copies (signed and notarized ones if possible) of every new document so you are not scrambling for this later. Also, get multiple official copies of inspection reports, your personal financial documents and completed application forms at every step of the process.</p>

<p>amerifirst.com Do you want to know if a seller will pay your closing costs? First time home buyers often ask how much cash they need at closing, and how much of a down payment is required. At closing, final documents are signed and the keys to your new home are yours. The buyer also settles funds like escrow, insurance, inspection costs and the down payment. So how much money will you need? It depends on the type of mortgage you have and other factors. Even 100% financed loans could possibly include some costs at closing. Buyers also want to know where that money can come from, such as borrowed, gifted or on-hand. We asked mortgage consultant Colleen Maire for the answers.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by NIcole</i>: What is the first time home buyer 00 tax credit all about?</strong><br />
I am thinking of buying a home by the end of the year. Can someone explain what this $  8000 <a href="http://firsttimehomebuyerbadcredit.com">First time home buyer tax credit</a> means exactly??</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong><span id="more-368"></span></p>
<p><i>Answer by wayfaroutthere</i><br />When you file your taxes, you get $  8000 off your taxes.  If you usually get a refund, you&#8217;ll get $  8000 extra since it is a refundable credit.</p>
<p>Do note that you need to close by the end of Novemeber, unless Congress extends the credit another yer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by </i>: How much will I get as a tax credit from being a first-time home buyer?</strong><br />
With regard to the extended <a href="http://firsttimehomebuyerbadcredit.com">first time home buyer tax credit</a>, how much will my husband and I receive?  We are filing our taxes as married filing single.  Would we each be able to receive a $  4000 credit or would only one of us receive the $  4000 credit and the other would receive nothing?  Any information would be helpful!  Thanks!</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong><span id="more-365"></span></p>
<p><i>Answer by Judy</i><br />There is no such thing as married filing single.  If you mean married filing separately, you could each get $  4000 assuming that together you qualify for the full $  8000.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by carlosnycpr</i>: First Time Home Buyer &#8212; Who to Go to for Home Mortgage?</strong><br />
I&#8217;m looking for a bank or mortgage broker to finance my first home.  I don&#8217;t have much to put down, but was told that some banks would provide 100% financing.  (I know it&#8217;s better to put something down).  I have good credit, 0 debt except for a student loan.  Who are the better companies to deal with in this area.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong><span id="more-362"></span></p>
<p><i>Answer by nokhada5</i><br />Fannie Mae, they list lenders all over the US who work with your kind of loan.  I went through them and got a good home loan through US Bank</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Jon</i>: Am I qualified for the <a href="http://firsttimehomebuyerbadcredit.com">First time home buyer tax credit</a>?</strong><br />
My grandmother lives in a Co-op in New York and I help her pay the maintenance, I used to live with her for several years until 2 years ago. Both of our names are on the co-op contract as share holder as well as on the Mortgage Interest Statement, Form 1098. I never took a mortgage or actually purchased any home. My question is, am I qualified for the 8000$   first time home buyer tax credit in case I buy an apartment in 2009?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong><span id="more-360"></span></p>
<p><i>Answer by Helen, EA in PA</i><br />No, as you are co-owner and you used the co-op as your principal residence within the last 3 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by zianneaaliyah</i>: What is the best way of finding and receiving government grants for a first time home buyer?</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve been searching the internet to try to find the best site or information on what government grants are right for me and the best way to recieve them.  I recently went to a NGC (National Grants Conference) and I wasn&#8217;t comfortable giving them a thousand dollars just to give me information on how to get a government grant.  I know this is not an easy process, but I just want to know what would be the best way for me to find a grant that would be right for me and the best way to get that grant for a first time home buyer?  Any suggestions would be great, thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong><span id="more-358"></span></p>
<p><i>Answer by imisidro</i><br />It is a good thing you did not give them a thousand dollars because there is no such thing as a government grant for buying a home</p>
<p>The Housing and Urban Development in their Grants Available page makes it clear that they do not provide grants to individuals &#8212; hence no grants for a person to buy a home http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm</p>
<p>&#8220;While HUD does not offer direct grants or loans to individuals, we do work through local governments and non-profit organizations to make financial assistance and counseling available.&#8221;</p>
<p> You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov &#8211; these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.</p>
<p>Even if you buy books on &#8220;how to get grants&#8221; or list that supposedly has information on grants &#8212; all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.</p>
<p>WORD OF CAUTION: When thinking of government grants, go only to a .gov website &#8211; that is government website. Don&#8217;t ever go to a .com, .net or .org website because those sites are just out to scam you</p>
<p>Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT &#8211; Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. </p>
<p>Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women&#8217;s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women&#8217;s business center that will train women entrepreneurs </p>
<p>Check with your realtors for programs and assistance you can get for being a first time home owner. There are also non profits who can give you downpayment assistance (but will not cover your entire mortgage) such as Nehemiah Corp http://www.getdownpayment.com</p>
