Francis Phillips Senior Loan Officer

Six ways to benefit from the U.S. Government bail out with the help of 1st Metropolitan Mortgage® Loan Officer of the Year 2006, 2008

1st Metrpolitan Mortgage® Can help you with the following benefits! 1. LOW RATES:

Branch Manager of the Year 2007

Refi! Refi! Refi! YES you can lower your rate with APR’s in the 3’s, 4’s & 5’s! Lower your payment and re-finance to a new 30-year fixed rate or ARM or pay off your home faster with a 20-year or even a 15-year mortgage! The Federal Reserve launched a bold $1.2 trillion effort 3/19/09 to lower rates on mortgages. The Fed will spend up to $300 billion to buy long-term government bonds and an additional $750 billion in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Refi now while rates have been pushed down for your benefit!

2. MAKING HOME AFFORDABLE REFINANCE PROGRAM:

575 202 8351 ext 103

Has your home dropped in value & you think you can’t refinance? YES you can! The “Making Home Affordable” Program will launch. It is for certain† borrowers who are current on their mortgage payments, but have found it difficult to refinance because their homes have lost value and they are unable to obtain mortgage insurance or wish to refinance into a mortgage with more predictable payments. This new program is perfect for borrowers with 80-105% Loan To Value. This new program was rolled out by the U.S. Government as part of the new “Financial Stability Plan”**. 1st Metropolitan Mortgage® will offer loans for clients with this program.

3. MAKING HOME AFFORDABLE MODIFICATION PROGRAM:

“Making Home Affordable” Loan Modification Program. Modification is for borrowers who are not current on their mortgage payments or who may be current, but are at imminent risk of serious default and foreclosure, due to life circumstances.* This new program was rolled out by the U.S. Government as part of the new “Financial Stability Plan”**. Contact your 1st Metropolitan Mortgage Loan Officer who will offer details on how you can seek assistance.

4. $8000 TAX CREDIT: First Time Homebuyer? YES you can buy now! The new $8000 (increased from 7500.00) Tax Credit for First Time Home Buyers is a provision under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009! This credit will not need to be paid back if you remain in the home for 3 years. • Homes purchased between January 1, 2009, and December 1, 2009. • Income limitations $75,000 for single tax payers and $150,000 for married tax payers • Credit remains refundable. This means that first-time home buyers who owe less than $8,000 in taxes for the year are still eligible for the full $8,000 credit when they file their tax returns. In that case, the IRS will write you a check for the difference between $8,000 and your actual tax bill. • The credit can be claimed on your 2008 tax returns that you file by April 15, 2009, even if you buy the home in 2009. • The tax credit is for first-time home buyers but there are some exceptions: 3 years not as owner occupied. Divorce resulting in loss of home. Call for full details.

5. REVERSE MORTGAGE: Retired and looking to get a Reverse Mortgage? YES you can get Higher Reverse Mortgage Loan Limits. The loan limits for FHA-insured reverse mortgages have been increased from $417,000 to $625,500 across the entire country. 1st Metropolitan Mortgage® offers Reverse Mortgages and has Certified Reverse Mortgage Specialists on staff that can assist.

6. GREEN TAX CREDIT: Want a Greener Home, but think you can’t afford to make the upgrades? YES you can! Expansion of Home Improvement Tax Credit for making energy efficient home improvements is now 30% of the cost of the improvements up to a maximum of $1,500. This means that if the improvements cost you $4,500, you would receive a tax refund of $1,500 when you file your tax returns. Eligible improvements include energy efficient exterior doors and windows, insulation, heat pumps, furnaces, central air conditioners and water heaters. Generally, your home improvement contractor and/or the manufacturer selling the improvements issues a certification that clarifies whether the improvements meet the necessary standards for energy efficiency. Most modern windows, furnaces, and air conditioners meet these requirements. If you’ve been holding off on making some of these improvements, now is a great time to get a move on it. 2nd Mortgages/ Home Equity Lines of Credit are available with 1st Metropolitan Mortgage®.

1st Metropolitan Mortgage

Behind on your Mortgage Payments? YES you can save your home with The
