What are QR codes?

The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can scan them.

They look like this: ____________

How does the cell phone read the code?

They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. We use QR Codes in our magazine to see the virtual tour or website of a property. Once it is in your cell phone, it will give you details about that property or business.

The cell phone needs a QR code reader, which most of them are free from your app store. It takes literally 1 minute for someone with an iPhone or Android phone to find and install the reader

How QR codes work 1. The QR code is scanned by a device, in this case a smart phone.

2. QR code software on the phone analyzes the image and extracts encoded information.

3. The decoded information - such as text, numbers or even website addresses - is displayed on the device.

UPDATE ON HUD $100 DOWN PAYMENT! HUD has recently changed the way they market their HUD foreclosed homes. They are trying to upgrade their image and they do not want to their foreclosed homes to be lump in with the other “bank foreclosures”.

You still have to place your bid for a HUD foreclosed home on the Internet and you still have to use a Realtor. So, for the homebuyer that part is pretty much the same as before.

But, the most important thing is they are still going to offer the HUD $100 Down Payment Incentive in most parts of the country!

The normal down payment for FHA Home Loans is 3.5% and for conventional loans the down payment is up to 20%. Most people that want to purchase a home really don’t have a lot of money available for a down payment so they are left out of today’s home market. But everyone should be able to come up with hundred dollars for a down payment.

But this is a government program and there are, of course, some strings attached.You have some requirements in order to take advantage of this $100 down payment program.

The $100 Down Payment Program Has the Following Requirements: 1. HUD Foreclosed Homes Only! This FHA $100 Down Payment Loan is for the purchase of HUD foreclosure homes.

2. Have to use FHA financing.You cannot use conventional financing.

3. This program is for Owner-Occupants only, not for Investors.You have to sign a form at closing stating you are going to live in the property and not use it has an investment such as a rental property.

4.You still need to have the earnest money of $1,000 for properties listed above $50,000 and $500 for properties listed for less than $50,000. Earnest money will be returned to you at closing as a credit on the Closing Statement.

5.You can ask HUD to pay for closing costs up to 3% of purchase price.

If you are going to buy a home in the near future, you need to consider HUD Homes with this HUD Homes $100 Down Payment Program. This program is a national program and the perfect HUD foreclosed home could be in your area.

We have some investment money available & wonder if buying an apartment building would be a good idea. What do you think?

Answer:

Many indicators are in favor of apartment ownership.

Ask the Editor

Lisamarie Schmidt

There’s a lot of pent-up demand for apartments from millions of 18- to 34-year-olds looking for a way out of their parents’ homes. About 22 million of them still live at home, which is way more than the longterm average for that age group.

There has been quite a bit of new apartment construction this year. Up to 240,000 new units, vs. only 160,000 in 2013.

The vacancy rate in some cities is as low as 2.6 percent, but the national average is 4.4 percent, which is still pretty favorable. And they predict rent increases of about 3 percent in the next few years.

Traditionally, lenders ask for a 50 percent down payment on rental property loans. If you buy a four-unit building and intend to live in one of the units initially, you would still qualify for a super-low down payment on an FHA loan.

Regarding interest rates, now could be a better time to buy than next year. Rates are widely expected to rise.

Economists and other experts expect a rise of at least 1 percent in 2015. They calculate that on a typical home, the monthly payment would be around 12 percent higher. They don’t say whether that rise would be the same for an apartment building, but they do predict that buyers will be less enthusiastic next year.

The Mortgage Bankers Association says homeownership in the United States recently dropped to 20 percent, the lowest level in many years and won’t rise much in 2015 if interest rates rise again.

That means more individuals and families will be choosing to rent, so there would be more prospects for your property.

Listing Codes IN - Insurable: All properties listed as “INSURABLE” are eligible for FHA financing. All requests for insurance will be under Section 203(b) of the National Housing Act Program. An interest rate will be charged on the loan and is negotiable between the purchaser and lender. The mortgage may include some mortgage insurance payments.

24

IndyInvestorMagazine.com

IE - Insurable with Escrow Repairs: Properties listed as “INSURABLE WITH ESCROW REPAIRS” means that certain repairs (not to exceed $5,000.00) are required to meet Minimum Property Standards for an FHA mortgage. These properties can qualify for FHA 203(b) mortgages if the purchaser and lender establish a repair escrow at the closing for the completion of repairs within 50-days of the closing. This is not a gift from HUD. The sales price remains the same and is added to the mortgage. No repairs prior to closing.

UI - Uninsured: Properties listed as “UNINSURED” means that certain repairs and or improvements are required to be eligible for an FHA 203(k) mortgage. The required repairs on most of these properties exceed $5000.00.

Purchasers of these properties have the option to purchase “as-is” with cash or conventional financing. These properties are also eligible for an FHA 203(k) mortgage if the required repairs end or the improvements are completed within 90-days of the closing.

Earnest Money Forfeiture and/or Return The following provisions are applicable in all instances except those where HUD is unable or unwilling to close the sale, in which case the entire amount will be returned.

Investor Purchasers: •

Uninsured Sales: 100% of the deposit will be forfeited to HUD for failure to close, regardless of the reason.

•

Insured Sales:

• 50% of the deposit will be forfeited to HUD for failure to close if the purchaser is determined by HUD to be an unacceptable buyer.

• 100% of the deposit will be forfeited to HUD if the sale fails to close for any other reason.

Owner-Occupant Purchasers: Return 100% of the deposit when:

•

There has been a death in the immediate family (purchaser, spouse or children living in the same household).

• There has been a recent serious illness in the immediate family that has resulted in significant medical expenses or substantial loss of income, thus adversely, affecting the purchaser’s financial ability to close the sale.

•

There has been a loss of job by one of the primary breadwinners, or a substantial loss of income through no fault of the purchaser.

•

For an FHA insured sale, HUD (or a D.E. underwriter) determines that the purchaser is not an acceptable borrower. For an uninsured sale, the purchaser was pre-approved for mortgage financing in an appropriate amount by a recognized lender and, despite good faith efforts, is unable to obtain mortgage financing. “Pre- approved” means a commitment has been obtained from a recognized mortgage lender for mortgage financing in a specified dollar amount sufficient to purchase the property.

• There is other equally good cause, as determined by AM Contractor, in keeping with the spirit and intent of the above policy.

Return 50% of the deposit when: For an uninsured sale, despite good faith efforts by the purchaser, there is an inability to obtain a mortgage loan from a recognized mortgage lender.

Forfeit 100% if the deposit when:

• No documentation is submitted.

• Documentation fails to provide an acceptable cause for the buyer’s failure to close.

• Documentation is not provided within a reasonable time following contract cancellation.

Vacant Lot Sales: The purchaser is considered to be an investor and instructions pertaining to investors will apply.

Closing Costs (Line 5) HUD pays certain Closing Costs up to 3% of the purchase price, IF inserted on line 5 of the sales contract when the electronic bid is submitted. Enter this numeric figure (not percentage) on line 5.

IndyInvestorMagazine.com

Closing Time Frame For DEMCO & OFORI: HOMETELOS: Just exchange 45 to 30 & 30 to 45 All purchasers must close on or before forty-five (45) days of contract acceptance date for normal and cash closings.

203k must close sixty (60) days of contract acceptance.

Closing Extension Policy ALL SALES ARE EXPECTED TO CLOSE WITHIN THE APPLICABLE TIME FRAME IDENTIFIED ON LINE 9 OF THE SALE CONTRACT. Closing Extension Request: If the closing does not occur on the specified date on line 9 of the HUD Sales Contract 9548, the Broker should contact HUD’s Closing Agent at least two weeks prior to that date to request an extension.

AM Contractors, as HUD’s Representative, may grant an extension of closing time and, if approved, each extension will be for a period of fifteen (15) days: • Submit the “Request For Extension of Closing Date” (Extension Request form) and all the required supplemental supporting documents to HUD’s Closing Agent prior to the expiration of the sales contract.

• Documentation submitted with the extension request must establish that a closing can reasonably be expected to occur within the extension period.

• The extension request must be accompanied by a cashier’s check, money order or other certified funds in the appropriate amount and made payable to HUD. The fee is based on the Contract Sales Price:

Fill out a utility activation request form. The utilities are to be turned on in the purchaser’s name and at purchaser’s expense. The purchaser is responsible for the actual costs to activate, deactivate and when necessary, re-winterize the property. The purchaser must place a refundable $150 deposit, in the form of certified funds or money order. The amount is sufficient to cover these costs. This deposit is required to ensure the property has been re-winterized. It is the buyer’s responsibility and cost to re-winterize. If the property has not been re-winterized at the end of the allowable 72 hr period, this may result in a delay of closing (buyer will also be responsible for any property damage incurred).

As you might expect, newer homes generally experience the fewest problems or defects.

However, the survey does point to some areas which can be of concern, even in a new or newer home.

Homes in this age range tend to require more repairs than newer ones. In a few categories, homes in this age group actually score worse than older homes. This is generally because systems in these homes are nearing the end of their useful service life, while in the older homes these systems will have been replaced.

While the expression “they don’t build them like they used to” has some truth behind it, older homes generally need more repairs — due to normal wear & tear and aging. It’s interesting to note that in selected categories, the often simpler systems in older homes hold up well.

AmeriFirst Home Mortgage

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administers various single family mortgage insurance LenderThe ID 110139 programs.

Section 203(k) program is HUD’s primary program for the rehabilitation and repair of single family properties. As such, it is an important tool for community and neighborhood revitalization and for 800.466.5626 expanding homeownership opportunities.

IndyInvestorMagazine.com

203(k) - How Is It Different?

of the property being financed. A portion of the loan proceeds are used to pay the seller, or, if a refinance, to pay off the existing mortgage, and the remaining funds are placed in an escrow account and released as rehabilitation is completed. You may also roll in up to six months of mortgage payments if the HUD consultant determines you need to be displaced from the home during the repairs.

When a homebuyer wants to purchase a house in need of repair or modernization, the homebuyer usually has to obtain financing first to purchase the dwelling; additional financing to do the rehabilitation construction; and a permanent mortgage when the work is completed to pay off the interim loans with a permanent mortgage. Often the interim financing (the acquisition and construction loans) involves relatively high interest rates and short amortization periods. The Section 203(k) program was designed to address this situation. The borrower can get just one mortgage loan, at a long-term fixed (or adjustable) rate, to finance both the acquisition and the rehabilitation of the property. To provide funds for the rehabilitation, the mortgage amount is based on the projected value of the property with the work completed, taking into account the cost of the work.

We will discuss both of these loans in detail but first letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discuss the 203(k) process from start to finish.

Most mortgage financing plans provide only permanent financing. That is, the lender will not usually close the loan unless the condition and value of the property provide adequate loan security. When rehabilitation is involved, this means that a lender typically requires the improvements to be finished before a long-term mortgage is made.

These are two Different 203(k) Loans Available

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s What You Can Expect:

1. Find a Property and Make the Offer - A potential homebuyer locates a fixer-

upper and executes a purchase agreement or sales contract after doing a feasibility analysis of the property with their real estate agent.

2. Find a FHA approved Lender and Meet with a 203(k) Specialist

- The homebuyer then selects an FHA-approved 203(k) lender and arranges for a detailed proposal from licensed contractors showing the scope of the work to be done, including a detailed cost estimate on each repair or improvement of the project.

3. Appraise the Property - The appraisal

is performed to determine the value of the property Choosing which loan suits you best will depend after renovation. The appraiser will also determine on the amount of improvement your property if there are any additional repairs necessary for the property to meet minimum FHA property needs. guidelines. Any health or safety issues would be Streamlined: The 203(k) Streamline is an addressed at this time. all-in-one loan used for homes that need minor repairs.

There At closing, the seller of the property is paid off and must be a minimum of $5,000 worth of repairs, and the remaining funds are put in an escrow account again, the borrower must occupy the property. FHA to pay for the repairs and improvements during the loan limits are based on property type and location rehabilitation period.

5. Work Begins on the Property

(2) Must be owner occupied (no investors)

The mortgage payments and renovation begin after the loan closes. The borrower can decide to have up to six mortgage payments (PITI) put into the cost of rehabilitation if the property is not going to be occupied during construction, but it cannot exceed the length of time it is estimated to complete the rehab.

(4) The lesser of 5 units in the project or 25% of the total number of units can be undergoing rehabilitation at the same time

6. Disbursements & Payment (Draws) - Escrowed funds are released to the

contractor during construction through a series of draw requests for completed work. To ensure completion of the job, 10% of each draw is held back; this money is paid after the lender determines there will be no liens on the property. The borrower will always approve the release of funds to the contractor.

(3) Rehab is limited only to the interior of the property

(5) The maximum amount of the loan cannot exceed 100% of the after improved value (6) No more than four condo units per building

How the Program Can Be Used This program can be used to accomplish rehabilitation and/or improvement of an existing one-to-four unit dwelling in one of three ways: (1) To purchase a home and rehabilitate it.

Eligible Properties

(2) To purchase a dwelling on another site, move it onto a new foundation and rehabilitate it.

To be eligible, the property must be a one- to fourfamily dwelling that has been completed for at least one year. In addition to typical home rehabilitation projects, this program can be used to convert a one-family dwelling to a two-, three-, or four-family dwelling. An existing multi-unit dwelling could be decreased to a one- to four-family unit.

(3) To refinance an existing mortgage and rehabilitate the home.

A 203(k) mortgage may be originated on a “mixed use” residential property provided: (1) The property has no greater than 25 percent (for a one story building); 33 percent (for a three story building); and 49 percent (for a two story building) of its floor area used for commercial (storefront) purposes; (2) The commercial use will not affect the health and safety of the occupants of the residential property; and (3) The rehabilitation funds will only be used for the residential functions of the dwelling and areas used to access the residential part of the property.

A 203(k) mortgage may be originated on a condominium provided: (1) The condominium project has been approved

by FHA

Contractor Requirements

Borrowers must use contractors to complete rehab unless borrower can provide documented proof that they can perform the work. Example: Borrower is a licensed plumber or electrician, etc.

Timelines & Disbursements for the 203(k) Streamline

Timelines - When the loan closes, the mortgage proceeds will be disbursed to pay off the seller

of the existing property and the Rehabilitation Escrow Account will be established. Construction may begin. Depending on the type of improvements the homeowner has up to six (6) months for completion.

Disbursements & Payments (Draws) - No more than two payments may be made to each

contractor. The first payment is intended to defray material costs and shall not be more than 50% of the estimated costs of all repairs and improvements. The Lender will allow the first payment at closing to cover for, and not exceed, actual required contractor deposits, building permits, and/or the cost of building materials incurred prior to construction.

Before a final disbursement is made, the borrower must sign a statement acknowledging that the work has been completed in a workmanlike and satisfactory manner. A final inspection is required regardless of the improvement or repair, and must be done at completion before the final disbursement is released.

Any leftover funds are applied to principal balance of the loan.

Features of the Standard 203(k)

FHA Approved Consultants

- All Standard 203(k) loans must use a FHA Approved 203(k) consultant. The HUD consultant will be very helpful as they will assist you in determining the scope of repairs and the budget for the work to be done. Once the project has been determined the HUD consultant will give you a “specification of repairs” plan that will detail the work to be completed and the associated costs. The HUD consultant will also carry out the disbursement and final inspections needed to pay your contractors. Basically they are there to help you through the construction process and verify all work is completed satisfactorily and as stated and that the home meets HUD’s minimum property guidelines when repairs are completed.
