(BPT) - Sponsored Ad Content from Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc. Saving up for a new home can take many people years and to most it can seem like there is no easy answer to achieving their dream. According to the U.S Census Bureau as of July 2018, just 64% of Americans currently own their home. The hurdle that stands in the way of homeownership for the remaining: saving up for the down payment. The great news is, there are other easy options to help you open the door to your new home faster. Many lenders will allow land - either owned or given as a gift - to be used as collateral instead of a cash down payment when obtaining financing to purchase a new home.

MORTGAGE RATES

The amount of land equity needed will depend on the borrower’s credit worthiness, which is determined by a lender’s criteria. Depending on the purchase price of the home and the value of the land being used as an alternative to a down payment, little to no additional cash could be required to obtain financing. The lender will hold a lien on the land used as collateral as well as the home, but the liens will be released when the loan is paid in full.

Prefabricated and Manufactured Home Loans

Ameris 229-434-4555

Some lenders will accept land as collateral provided the land has equity value that meets a certain percent of the sales price and the land is free and clear of all existing liens. The amount of equity required is based on the borrower’s creditworthiness, the loan program applied for and other factors. For example, if the sales price of a new home is $100,000 and the lender requires 10% equity for the home loan, the land will need an equity value of at least $10,000. The value of the land is usually assessed by a third party, like an appraiser or the local tax assessor. If the land equity does not meet the required percentage, the borrower can talk to the lender to learn about their alternative options. Typically, manufactured or prefabricated homes have a starting price that is lower than the starting price of a new site-built home with land, so they can be a smart option if saving for a down payment takes a lot of effort.

4 ways to prep your home for winter

(BPT) - When you start feeling those first hints of winter, the instinct to get ready kicks in. You may dig out your car’s snow brush, blanket, shovel and winter survival kit and place them in the trunk of your car. The winter coats and boots come out of storage, and you may pick up some extra mittens.

We do these things to protect ourselves from the cold when we’re out and about. But what do you do to protect your house against the hazards of winter? If you don’t take time for maintenance and winterization now, you can end up paying for it later, in the form of higher energy bills, frozen pipes or fixing a broken furnace. Here are four common problems that can hit home Information Institute, water damage accounts for during the winter and what you can do to ward half of all property damage claims.

supplies at the ready, so you can keep your family comfortable. Make sure you have extra blankets, stocking caps, batteries and fully charged power banks for your mobile phones. It’s also good to have a few gallons of fresh water and some cans of ready-to-eat chili and stew. If you have a camp stove, keep it in an easy-to-reach place, along with a fuel supply. Ice dams: Another thing to watch for in the winter are pools of water forming on your roof. These can be caused by ridges of snow and ice, and eventually cause leaks to the interior of your home. Ice dams can also lead to the formation of large, pointy icicles that hang from the gutters, which can fall and injure people. Luckily, a little work upfront can go a long way toward preventing ice dams and the damage they can cause. First, make sure the gutters and downspouts are clear of leaves and other yard debris, so the snowmelt has a place to go. Next, poke your head into the crawlspace of your attic and see if the insulation layer is still thick enough to keep the heat from escaping through the roof. While you’re up there, look for gaps and leaks. Finally, this is a good time to invest in a simple snow rake, so you can easily remove wet, heavy snow from your roof before the dams can start forming.

Now that you know the most common winter Before winter hits, make certain your generator hazards that can hit home, you can take the steps or other backup power source has ample fuel to protect your investment and keep your family and is in good working order. Keep some basic comfortable and safe.
