GUILD MORTGAGE CORNER Can I Use Future Rental Income to Qualify for a Mortgage?

Are you interested in buying an investment property, but don’t think you will qualify? Great news!

You can structure the new purchase as an investment property to use the expected rental income to offset the monthly mortgage payment of the property you are buying. This is called non-owner or investment property financing. You can expect it to cost a bit more in two ways: first, most lenders require more of a down payment (20% minimum) right out the gate. Second, you can expect slightly higher rates. If you really love the home this might be worth it to you!

The future rental income is determined by the appraiser, not by the amount on a lease; you don't even need a lease or renter in place. Typically, industry standard allows you to use 75% of the market rent amount to calculate the subject property's net cash flow. Just think…if the market rent is 25% higher than your mortgage, taxes and insurance payment, the lender can exclude the entire monthly mortgage payment when qualifying. This can mean the difference between qualifying for a loan or being denied.

If you have any questions regarding loan limits, refinancing or purchasing a home, please feel free to reach out to The Rice Team.

Federal Reserve keeps rates static, predicts no hikes in 2019 Static rates could lead to steady or declining mortgage rates, economists say BY: PATRICK KEARNS, STAFF WRITER THE INMAN REPORT MARCH 2019

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 2.25 to 2.50 percent as was widely expected. The board also signaled it expects no increases in 2019 – after four in 2018 – which could mean mortgage rates will continue to hold steady or even dip, according to economists.

“It’s no surprise that the Fed decided to hold rates steady today, given its January pledge of taking a patient approach to reviewing data and making interest rate decisions,” Danielle Hale, the chief economist at realtor.com said, in a statement.

The Fed projections indicated an expected economic growth of 2.1 percent in 2019, down from December’s projection of 2.3 percent. Next year, the Fed is projecting growth to slow to 1.9 percent and 1.8 percent in 2021.

“In our interpretation, the Fed may be overreacting to market volatility that occurred in December and distortions to economic activity and data from the government shutdown,” LendingTree Chief Economist Tendayi Kapfidze said in a statement. “While many measures of economic growth have slowed, sentiment data which is more timely has rebounded from those declines.”

“There are also seasonal distortions that have been occurring in the first quarter, with the economy often accelerating in the second and third quarter,” Kapfidze added.

Kapfidze believes that, despite the Fed signaling it won’t raise interest rates this year, there still remains the possibility of one or two rate hikes later in the year, perhaps beginning in September. Those hikes would occur if growth accelerates back above potential, unemployment remains low and inflation is pushed back towards 2 percent, perhaps by wage inflation, Kapfidze said.

While interest rates aren’t directly tied to mortgage borrowing rates – which have remained under 5 percent on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages for most consumers in 2019 – the Fed keeping interest rates static could mean that mortgage rates stay the same or even dip.

“Today’s meeting also gives us clues about the road ahead for mortgage rates, which are influenced by both shortterm rates and the longer-term economic outlook,” Hale said. “Despite current short-term rate increases, recent economic forecasts have been less certain, which has caused mortgage rates to slip recently.”

Kapfidze noted that lower interest rates could support the slowing housing market. For consumers, the pause in rate hikes will directly result in a break in rising interest rates on borrowing for credit cards and personal loans.

KEEP YOUR PROPERTY LEAN AND GREEN TO HELP PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND HOME Creating defensible space is essential to improve your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. It’s the buffer you create between a building on your property and the grass, trees, shrubs, or any wildland area that surround it.

This space is needed to slow or stop the spread of wildfire and it protects your home from catching fire—either from direct flame contact or radiant heat. Defensible space is also important for the protection of the firefighters defending your home.

Defensible Space Zones Two zones make up the required 100 feet of defensible space.

Zone 1 Zone 1 extends 30 feet* out from buildings, structures, decks, etc.

• Remove all dead plants, grass and weeds (vegetation).

• Remove dead or dry leaves and pine needles from your yard, roof and rain gutters.

• Trim trees regularly to keep branches a minimum of 10 feet from other trees.

• Remove branches that hang over your roof and keep dead branches 10 feet away from your chimney.

• Relocate wood piles into Zone 2.

• Remove or prune flammable plants and shrubs near windows.

• Remove vegetation and items that could catch fire from around and under decks.

• Create a separation between trees, shrubs and items that could catch fire, such as patio furniture, wood piles, swing sets, etc.

Zone 2 Zone 2 extends 100 feet out from buildings, structures, decks, etc.

• Cut or mow annual grass down to a maximum height of 4 inches.

• Create horizontal spacing between shrubs and trees. (See diagram) • Create vertical spacing between grass, shrubs and trees. (See diagram) • Remove fallen leaves, needles, twigs, bark, cones, and small branches. However, they may be permitted to a depth of 3 inches.

About Firewise Communities Program

Making your community more Firesafe

Brush, grass, and forest fires don't have to be disasters. National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Firewise USA Program encourages local solutions for safety by involving homeowners in taking individual responsibility for preparing their homes from the risk of wildfire. Firewise is a key component of Fire Adapted Communities- a collaborative approach that connects all those who play a role in wildfire education, planning and action with comprehensive resources to help reduce risk. The program is co-sponsored by the USDA Forest Service, the US Department of the Interior, and the National Association of State Foresters. To save lives ad property from wildfire NFPA's Firewise USA program teaches people how to adapt to living with wildfire and encourages neighbors to work together and take action now to prevent losses. We all have a role to play in protecting ourselves and each other from the risk of wildfire.

STEP 4

Implement plan recommendations

Homeowner Association – If your community has a homeowner association and the association wants to develop fire safe standards and enforcement tools, the Council can put you in touch with other associations that have done this.

Defensible Space – Fire resistant materials and fire safe conditions in the area immediately adjacent to a home substantially reduces its vulnerability to ignition by wildfires. Community-wide efforts, such as clean-up days, encourage homeowners to improve their individual lots. Volunteer efforts can also be effective in treating communal property, or helping persons unable to do their own work. The Council also has a program to assist seniors and disabled persons with defensible space improvements.

Hazard Fuels Reduction (HFR) Projects – The reduction of fuels within the community and within a buffer zone around the community is a key component of structure survivability. These projects can be funded and implemented in a number of ways: •

Community Initiative – A community, especially larger communities with established organizational infrastructure, can finance projects itself. The first step is generally to hire a Registered Professional Forester to design a project that can be put out to bid to contractors.

•

HFR Grants – Various grants are available through state and federal agencies to reduce fuels in and around communities, especially if identified as a Community at Risk within the WildlandUrban Interface. There are two methods of obtaining grant funds: 1. Local Organization – If a community has an approved CWPP and a local organization, such as a CSD or homeowners association, that is eligible to apply for and administer a grant, it may apply directly to the funding entity.

2. Fire Safe Council – All communities, regardless of whether they are Firewise designated or have a CWPP, can request assistance from the Council in obtaining grant funding. Firewise Communities and communities with a CWPP have a much better chance of success: 1)They have identified the work that needs to be done, 2) Landowners have been educated to the importance of the work, 3) Landowners are likely to sign up to have work done on their properties. All HFR work on private property can only be done with the landowner’s approval, and projects must be of a sufficient size to be cost effective.

The daughter of an American Civil War veteran, Sonora Smart Dodd led the efforts for fathers to be recognized after hearing a Mother’s Day sermon at her church. Her father had cared for his six children after their mother passed away while giving birth to the sixth child.

There is a famous quote by Mark Twain about his father: “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.”

In 1972, President Nixon signed it into law and Father’s Day became a permanent national holiday in the US. “He adopted a role called being a father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a protector.” ―Tom Wolfe

Over 87 million cards are sent each year making father's day the fourth-largest greeting card occasion of the year.

The necktie is consistently the most popular gift.

The Latin name for June is Junius. Ovid offers multiple etymologies for the name in the Fasti, a poem about the Roman Calendar. The first is that the month is named after the Roman Goddess Junos, the goddess of marriage and the wife of the supreme deity Jupiter; the second is that the name comes from the Latin word juniores, meaning "younger ones." June is the sixth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the second of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the third of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. June contains the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the day with the most daylight hours.
