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.

LED-lit ceilings can mimic the changing hues of natural light Researchers are looking at how dialing up & down the brightness, color & richness of household lighting can help regulate our circadian rhythms. They are the mental and behavioral changes that occur in response to light cues over each 24-hour period.

In the living room: Where people gather to watch TV or play games, a whiter light is best. Turning off electronic devices & switching to a a softer, warmer color of yellow or orange two hours before bed will help the body get ready for sleep.

The kitchen: The quality of light for cooking is a major consideration.

Lights with high-color rendering help colors pop and bring out details of meat, vegetables and other ingredients. It helps the food look good.

Bathroom: Rich color rendering with over 90 CRI is desirable for applying makeup or shaving. We need more light to see as we age, so a dimmable light allows people to adjust the lighting.

Adult bedrooms: Dimmable lights with a warmer glow are ideal to minimize the disruption of melatonin, the hormone that makes us sleepy. It is produced when the lighting dims.

Hallways: Ultralow and warm lighting helps people navigate halls and stairs without affecting their night vision.

Answer:

Gas is cheaper. Maybe mortgages are too? I would like to check on financing.

What will I find?

Ask the Editor

You’ll find some good news on the mortgage front, too.

New mortgage-lending guidelines were scheduled to take effect December 1 with the largest mortgage lenders set to ease their standards in 2015.

Lisamarie Laurie Goodman, director of the Housing Finance Policy Center at Schmidt the Urban Institute says, “The moves are going to be big, but it will take time to see the full impact of the changes.”

The Urban Institute estimated that new lending standards could make it possible for as many as 1.2 million additional home loans to be made annually if mortgage availability returns to “normal” levels.

Lenders say borrowers should begin to see changes soon, including faster processing times for mortgage applications. Currently, it can take two months or longer between when the application is made and when the loan is made.

New types of borrowers that lenders will accept include those with somewhat lower credit scores. Lenders will give greater leeway if a credit history suffered because of one-time events, such as a job loss or big medical bill.

Economists have maintained that tight credit could be holding back the housing recovery and dampening economic growth.

It’s likely that more mortgages will be granted under the new guidelines to those with credit scores of 640 to 699 and even with scores of 620 to 639.

The new guidelines are going to be permanent, not temporary.

Experts say you will see banks expand their criteria, but some lenders are still too hesitant due to the constantly shifting regulatory environment to ease credit very soon.

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.

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.

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:

Contract Sales Price

Extension Fee

Equal to or less than $25,000.00

$150.00 ($10.00 per day)

$25,000.01 to $50,000.00

$225.00 ($15.00 per day)

$50,000.01 and over

$375.00 ($25.00 per day)

• The initial 15-day extension will be provided for owner occupant purchasers, at no cost, if documentation is provided indicating that proper and timely loan application was made, that the delayed closing is not the fault of the purchaser and that mortgage approval is imminent.

• The extension fee will be retained by HUD. In the event that the purchaser closes prior to the end of the extension period, the unused, prorated portion of the extension fee will be credited to the amount due at closing.

•

The approval of an extension does not obligate AM Contractor, as HUD’s Representative, to grant future extensions.

Home Inspection

(Optional, but highly recommended)

There is a 15 day due diligence period.You must have FSM authorize your home inspection.You have 48 hours to complete home inspection after last utility is turned on and you must turn off utilities after inspection. When you receive written permission (executed sales contract), contact the local utility companies, and coordinate dates between them and your inspection.

IndyInvestorMagazine.com

37

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).

Don’t overpay when you are looking to buy in a top school district Great school districts can pad home prices and some home buyers actively choose the school district as much as they shop the home. For these buyers, an expensive, but smaller home or condo is worth it if their kids get in the top public schools.

One tool for these homeowners is the jumbo loan, which today is easier to get. The amount of a loan that is considered jumbo, varies. In some locations, a jumbo loan might start at $417,000. In others, it could start at more than $600,000. It all depends on home values in the area.

As it happens, jumbo loan qualifications are easing and more buyers can now qualify.

According to CNN Money, rates on jumbo loans have dropped, sometimes even below rates for conventional mortgages.

Down payments requirements have been reduced and even the high credit scores for the jumbos have been loosened from 700 to 650. Buyers in areas where home values are stable or rising might especially find this to be true.

Meanwhile, more parents willing to stretch their budgets to get their kids the best education, may qualify for a jumbo. But they might have a problem buying a house.

Many jumbo borrowers still have trouble competing in markets where multiple bids and cash-only deals are commonplace, according to The Wall Street Journal. Families may also pay too much for a home, thinking they will save money on private-school tuition.

Here’s what experts say about buying a home with good public schools.

• Your real estate agent could be your best choice for information • Private schools. A less-expensive home in a neighborhood or on public school districts and home pricing. county that allows you to pay for a competitive private school • Define your needs.

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.

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 are are approved and the loan closes for an amount no minimum repair costs and the borrower must that will cover the purchase or refinance cost of the property, along with the improvement costs. The occupy the property. amount of the loan will also include a contingency Standard: The Standard 203(k) is an all-in-one reserve of 10% to 20% of the total renovation costs loan used when homes need major rehabilitation, and is used to cover any overages resulting from or when repairs are structural, involves landscaping, extra work required to complete the work proposed. or when the renovation costs exceed $35,000. 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

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.
