Florida is Growing Again

Mark Cohen — Sun, 22 May 2011 21:26:00 GMT

The U.S. Census reports that Florida, after a year or so of small negative growth, is growing again. More people are moving in than are leaving the state.

Real estate activity has been increasing in the Gainesville, Florida area. I have had more phone calls and emails about homes, condos, and land this month (May 2011) than previous months. Other realtors tell me they also have had increased activity.

There are many bargains in Florida as prices remain very low. Interest rates also remain very low. There are large inventories of unsold properties in almost every price range.

NOW is perhaps the time to buy because the increasing population in addition to the recovering economy could cause real estate prices to begin to rise.

If you have been contemplating moving to Florida for retirement or business opportunities, give me a call or email. I can help you in Gainesville personally, in Miami and Southeast Florida through my very experienced associate, or find you a professional realtor in other parts of Florida through my network.

First Time Home Buyer Mortgage Loan (Financing) Requirements

Mark Cohen — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:56:00 GMT

First Time Home Buyer Financing (Mortgage Loan) Requirements

           As a First Time Home Buyer, in order to qualify for a mortgage loan, you must prove to your lender that you have the ability to repay it on time. You must show them that you can make the monthly payment on time.

          Your lender will look at three important items to see if you meet their current loan standards. These three items are: Your INCOME. Your CREDIT SCORE & HISTORY. Your amount of DOWN PAYMENT cash.

          If your income is too low, your credit score and history are too low, or you don't have enough money for the required down payment, you will most probably not be offered a loan.

          If you qualify at the lower end of their current standards you may receive a loan but the interest will be higher, the fees will be higher, or your loan amount will be smaller than what you expected.

          You should shop around for the best loan rate and terms you can find. There is competition among lenders and their rates change daily and qualifying standards change periodically.

See our Finance Guide page to find out How Much Can You Afford.

          There are different kinds of lenders.   Banks, savings banks, credit unions, hard money (equity) lenders, and private individuals are direct lenders. Mortgage companies and mortgage brokers are usually middlemen who match you up with other lenders who provide the money. Your financial and credit situation determines which type of lender will be best.

          There are government and private programs that provide aid to first time home buyers. The help comes in the form of a Tax Credit from the Federal Government and Down Payment Assistance from the State of Florida, counties, and private organizations.

APPLYING FOR A LOAN (Mortgage Loan Application)
          It is advantageous to become Pre-Qualified, or even better, Pre-Approved for your loan before actively looking at homes. That way you will know exactly what price range and monthly payment will fit your financial situation and budget.

          In order to make application for a mortgage your lender will ask you for documentation.
                    1. Social Security Number or Proof of Permanent Residency (Green Card).
                    2. Pay Stubs from the last 2 months.
                    3. W-2 Forms from the last 2 years.
                    4. Bank Statements from the last 2 or 3 months.
                    5. Federal Tax Returns from the last 2 years.
                    6. List of Current Debts such as credit cards, car loans, student loans, installment loans, etc.

          Your lender will compare this information to current loan programs and calculate how much you can borrow and what terms are best.

Gainesville Florida has Good Real Estate Investments

Mark Cohen — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:31:00 GMT

College Towns Offer Good Real Estate Investments

         When you have a son or daughter attending school, it can make sense to purchase a home or condominium (townhouse or flat) rather than renting an apartment. Although properties near colleges and universities tend to be more expensive than those in other parts of town, they hold their value better and usually show better than average appreciation. Extra rooms can be rented to other students thereby offsetting some of the mortgage payment.

         If you are an investor, the stability of a student rental market can keep your property fully occupied all year long. Student enrollment in colleges and universities are expected to rise over 15% during the next 10 years (U.S. Department of Education). Graduate students are expected to increase by 25%.

         The high demand for rental housing in college towns will continue to rise with the greater enrollments. Many students begin their college education during the summer and continue straight through all year long reducing vacancies in June, July, and August. This trend has been very evident in Gainesville, Florida. The University of Florida has about 50,000 students and Santa Fe College has about 17,000 students.

         NuwireInvestor.com rated Gainesville as the Number 3 small college town for real estate investment. They based this rank on growth potential, job markets, property values, cost of living, atmosphere, retirement appeal, and investment potential. They indicated that the steady stream of students and professors support a good rental market and the well educated population helps the local job market.

         Nuwire noted that Gainesville has lower real estate prices than most of the other cities in Florida and its central location half way between Miami and Atlanta is advantageous for investment. Gainesville also attracts many retirees who enjoy the cultural events, sporting events, and educational offerings of a college town.

Gainesville Florida Homes - Its a Great Time to Buy.

Mark Cohen — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:52:00 GMT

This is a great time to buy a home in or near Gainesville, Florida USA even without a tax credit. Prices of existing and brand new homes have returned to pre-peak levels and many sellers and builders are willing to give upgrades and/or pay for closing costs. These incentives will in most cases make up for the lack of tax credit.

There are many bargains to be found here. Interest rates are still at historically low rates. Money is cheap. This makes monthly payments low and affordable.

Gainesville Florida USA is a great place to live. It has big city amenities in a small city environment. Its where "Nature and Culture Meet" in "The Heart of Florida." And if you need to go to a huge city, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa are short drives away.

The Gainesville Area has the University of Florida, Santa Fe College, over one hundred lakes, springs, rivers, Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean. Gainesville has top-notch hospitals, is becoming a prime retirement area for active senior citizens, and already is a great place for young professionals. There is a relatively stabile job market and clean - green industry.

Condominium - Description - Advantages - Disadvantages.

Mark Cohen — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:24:00 GMT

Condominium (Condo)

Description:
          A Condominium (Condo) is a form of real estate ownership in which each owner holds title to his/her individual unit, plus a fractional (joint) ownership interest in the common areas of a multi-unit complex. The individual owners share the common space (land) and common facilities. There are residential (homes), commercial (offices, stores), and industrial (factories, warehouses) condominiums.

          There is a Condominium or Homeowner's Association which acts as a community government and maintains and insures the common elements. The association levies a fee per unit to pay for its functions. The association has a board of directors that is elected by the individual owners from among those owners who are interested in serving. The condominium board hires an off-site property management company or an on-site staff to handle the day-to-day operation of the complex.

          Each separate unit in a condominium complex is also known as a Condominium. It is an individually owned apartment, office, store, or warehouse in a multiplex building or group of multiplex buildings.

          Each owner pays their own property taxes, insures the interior of his/her unit, and is free to sell, lease (rent), or mortgage it. A condominium owner's tax position is the same as that of a single-family home owner. However, there are covenants and restrictions (rules and regulations) that govern how each unit can be used and transferred and how the common elements can be used.

Types of Condominiums:
          Buildings can have as little as two units (a duplex) or numerous units (a multiplex). There are rare cases where detached homes are set up as a condominium in which all of the land and exteriors of the buildings are maintained as common elements by an association.

          Units within buildings that are single-story are known as Flats. The entire unit is on one floor.

          Units with two levels (floors) and an interior stairway are known as Townhomes or Townhouses.

          A multi-story building can be all flats or townhomes or a combination of both.

          There is no limit to the number of stories a condominium building can have.

          A condominium building can be all residential, all commercial, or a combination of both.

Advantages of Condominium Ownership:
          1. Condos are generally less expensive to purchase than a detached single-family home of the same size, age, and features.

          2. There is less work and responsibility than owning a detached home because the condominium homeowner's association maintains and insures the building structure, exterior walls, roof, lobbies, exterior stairways, elevators, landscaping, parking areas, recreation facilities, and drainage areas if included.

          3. They make excellent student residences, single-parent residences, second homes, and vacation homes because of item 2.

          4. There might be some utilities and services such as cable television, high-speed internet, water, sewer, or trash collection included in the association fee.

          5. The complex might be gated or have security guards on duty 24 hours.

Disadvantages of Condominium Ownership:
          1. You are legally obligated to pay monthly or quarterly Condominium Association fees to cover your share of the common maintenance items. A lien will be placed against your unit if you fail to pay the required fees.

          2. The Condominium Association is the equivalent of a local government and disagreements among board members with differing opinions and politics might become annoying.

          3. Everyone lives in close proximity and noise from adjacent units or those above or below can be disturbing.

          4. If there is no attached garage and no reserved parking spaces, as is true with many condo complexes, you may have to park away from your unit.

          5. You may need a stairway or elevator to reach your unit.

          6. You may have to carry trash to a dumpster far from your unit.
