If not, would you like children some day?

If the answer to either of these questions is yes, this post is for you.

I pray that I never need to go there with my children, and I wish the same for you. But, it is comfoting to know that it is here if I do need it.

Aurora CO Homes For Sale – Pre-Approval

So, you are ready to buy one of the Aurora, CO homes for sale, but where to start?

With everything changing so rapidly in the real estate and mortgage world right now, you need to be informed. Sellers have started to not even accept offers from potential buyers until they know they can buy. They are asking for proof of eligibility –  a pre-approval letter.

How do you get one?

To start with, you want to be sure that you know what you qualify for. Too many times a buyer has fallen in love with a house that they are looking at with the realtor, only to find they can’t afford it. So, if you start with getting a pre-approval letter before you go looking at the Aurora, CO homes for sale, you know what you are in for.

By getting a pre-approval letter done, you are sure of a few things:

  • You know how much you qualify for
  • You know you can afford the payment
  • You know about how much you will need for a down payment
  • You know if there are any credit concerns or issues that need to be addressed. That way they don’t become problems down the road.

To obtain a pre-approval letter, a few things will occur.

  • Your credit history will be reviewed
  • Your income will be reviewed
  • You must show proof of your down payment

Once these are taken care of, you can have a pre-approval letter sent out to you. We can have a pre-approval letter to you on the same day.

Now that you know the first step to picking which of the Aurora, CO homes for sale that you want to buy. – Get started!

Rates are still low and there are plenty of homes to choose from. Contact us today to see how much you can qualify for and how easy the process can be when you work with someone you can trust.

USDA and VA Refinance

So, you have a VA or USDA mortgage loan? There has been plenty of talk about the FHA loans and the programs available to help those folks. But the question is still there about your loan. There seems to be no answers -

Well, here they are!

There is still time for you to take advantage of these historic low rates. If you are like most others in a VA or USDA loan, your interest rate is probably not as low as it could be.  With the Streamline loan process available to you, your rate can be lowered and it can be done with relative ease.

These programs will allow you:

  • To take advantage of the low rates
  • In most cases, you will not need to get an appraisal done
  • You will not need to verify all of your income
  • You will not need to verify all of your assets

Combine these benefits with a fast turn time – you can start saving money now. Your VA or USDA mortgage loan will remain in a 30 year fixed program. You will still not have any monthly mortgage insurance premium. You will not have any prepayment penalties. You can even not have any payments for up to two months.

Sure, mortgage underwriting guidelines have become more strict and the time and stress it takes to get it done have increased. This is NOT the case with the VA and USDA Streamline mortgage loan process.

So, it is easy to qualify; could lower your monthly payment by hundreds of dollars every month; with minimal paperwork and no stress to you.

Why not start saving money today? Look into the VA and USDA Streamline mortgage loan options available to you, NOW!

If not, next time you see a Boy Scout, do what you can. Buy some popcorn or offer your time. You can help to form our future.

World Cancer Day

Today is World Cancer Day

The World Health Organization estimates that 84 million people will die from cancer between 2005 and 2015. As someone who lost his Father to cancer, this is a very sobering number.

Every year on February the 4th, the World Health Organization supports the Union Against Cancer to promote the prevention and cure for cancer.

This year the theme is Cancer can be prevented too. So many different illnesses are treated by prevention and immunizations. Cancer doesn’t have a vaccine (someday we hope). But, there are things that you can do with your lifestyle to help greatly reduce your chances of getting cancer.

  • Regular Exercise
  • Healthy Diet
  • Don’t use tobacco
  • Limit your alcohol consumption

Bottom line, a healthier lifestyle will greatly reduce your chances of getting cancer. So, today is a great day to evaluate your risks and to start making changes. You can get great information directly from the World Health Organization or by checking with your local centers.
