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.

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.

Answer:

We’re wondering if we should buy a home now or pay rent for another year or two. What do you think?

The decision is different for every prospective home buyer.

Nationwide, statistics show that owning a home costs less than renting. That’s because rents are already high, and they rise with each passing year.

Ask the Editor

Lisamarie Schmidt

If you continue to rent, you won’t have to spend your savings on a down payment, but you’ll end up paying more for your living quarters in the long run and have nothing to show for it.

It’s also true that home prices will continue to rise, but that’s really not a bad thing. It means that the home you buy now will be worth more in future years. According to the Case-Shiller & Poor’s index of 20 cities, a survey taken a few months ago showed that home prices had risen 12.8 percent over the previous year. That means people who bought a home for $200,000 would now own a place worth $225,600. All 20 cities posted gains in home values. Home values continue to go up, probably not as much as 12.8 percent, but even at lower percentages, a home purchased today will be worth a great deal more in years to come. “Home value appreciation is better when it’s boring,” according to Stan Humphries, a Zillow economist who now says. “It’s good to see the price of home appreciation moderate, allowing the market to get back into a sustainable balance and not topple over.” Cities like Las Vegas had a one-year gain of 29.2 percent last year, followed by San Francisco at 25.4 percent, increases that are not sustainable. What do I think? If you have the money for a down payment, and a little more to make changes or updates in your new place, as most people do, I think buying a home now is a good move. You might even be able to get a discount because some buyers are feeling anxiety over how the government is working.

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

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).

FHA Amendatory Clause This addendum is not required and will not be executed on HUD sales. HUD homes are exempt from the clause.

Replacing windows

Nothing is more satisfying than beautiful new windows -- a joy to look at both inside and out. If windows are on your list of home improvements, you might be surprised at how affordable they really are.

Replacements windows come in two main types. If the original framing is sound and square, you can install a glass into the original framing, replacing sashes, side jams and trim.

If the original frame is rotted or significantly out of square, a new-construction window must be installed, which can cost 50 percent to 100 percent more than a replacement window.

Your new windows could cost from $200 to $700 depending on what has to be replaced and what options you take. When selling your home, you’ll recoup a large percentage of the cost. Some estimates say new windows return about 72 percent of their cost at sale. You will immediately reduce your energy bills, but be sure to seal up a leaky house and insulate it for further savings.

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.

New LEDs take bold steps into the lighting market

Consumers hated the twisty CFLs but the new LED offerings are cool enough for Apple Stores. When the federal government lowered the boom on incandescent light bulbs, it pressured makers of compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) to fill the gap, according to USA Today. So manufacturers tried to fill the gap. But the efficiency standards were high and consumers were unwilling to pay more for lights they didn’t like. Fluorescents blink slowly on and emit cold light in a bluish color. They also can’t be dimmed with traditional dimmers. Even though some of these drawbacks have been solved, consumers still snub CFLs. One alternative is the LED, which has been also slow to gain footing because the price is higher.

CREE, a company based in Raleigh, N.C., now has $10

bulbs in many markets. Its products have risen to become the No. 1- and No. 3-selling light bulbs at Home Depot. LEDs actually have a feature that outdoes the ordinary lightbulb: They have an extraordinary life expectancy. CREE offers a 10-year guarantee on is bulbs and suggests life spans as long as 22 years are possible under certain conditions. Philips has released a line of hue connected light LED bulbs. Hue bulbs contain multiple LEDs whose output can be controlled from a smartphone, allowing for millions of possible colors. Now that is so cool, the lowly lightbulb got a spot in Apple’s retail stores. “The tech has to be better than what it’s replacing, says Mike Watson, CREE’s vice president of Corporate Marketing.

This next big thing in decor and furniture: brass!

Though it’s often called the poor man’s gold, brass is a gold alloy of copper and zinc that’s typically relegated to plumbing and door knockers. But now it has gained a strong following from the country’s leading designers. They are offering chairs with brass arms, barware, chandeliers, lamps, desk accessories and more. Brass is entering the mainstream and is prominently featured in catalogs such as those by Crate and Barrel and Restoration Hardware. While relatively affordable, it speaks to a 21st century desire for luxury, timelessness and artisanship, says The Wall Street Journal’s David Keeps. Designer Jonathan Adler currently offers a 60 pound sculptural peacock table and other pieces. Designer Calvin Klein says, “Brass equals warmth, English clubbiness, Moroccan craft and Italian and midcentury fantasy.” It’s also called an essential component of organic modernism, a look that is rooted in natural materials such as leather, stone and wood. Boomers are embracing the softer and more mottled qualities of brass. It ages gracefully.

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.

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.
