BUYING RESOLUTIONS REQUIRE DETERMINATION

Renters want to buy, but new buying challenges are keeping the transition to homeownership a lengthy process

t’s the time of year when people start saying, “We’re going to buy a home next year.” But, one study suggests that the majority of renters planning to buy within a year won’t: The Federal Reserve followed a group of renters who in 2013 said they’d be buying, but in a follow-up a year later, two-thirds remained renters. The basic reason why younger adults aren’t buying homes at the same rate as earlier generations is financial, says Nela Richardson, chief 4

economist at real estate brokerage Redfin. “A good credit score is now so important to qualify for a mortgage,” she notes. “And if you don’t have much money for a down payment, you’ll need a very good score.” Indeed, a survey of active home shoppers aged 25 to 34 by the National Association of Realtors found the most common “trigger” pushing them into buying was an increase in income. A boost in income can make it easier to save for a down payment, but it still can take months of on-time bill paying to repair credit, notes Richardson. Sometimes, it’s an effort to uncover financing options that help renters buy, says Doug Leever, mortgage sales manager for Tropical Federal Credit. Since 2012, the

Florida credit union has quadrupled the number of purchase mortgages it’s made, largely due to counseling borrowers on low-down-payment mortgage plans and how best to pay down debt. According to the Federal Reserve, some 81 percent of current renters said they’d prefer to buy if they could afford it. But renters shouldn’t always fixate on buying, notes Christopher Herbert, managing director at Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. Resolve to buy only if future plans align with that goal. Says Herbert: “Moving costs, including sales commission, are high, and so a rule of thumb is you should be very likely to stay put for at least five to seven years.”

NOW COULD BE THE TIME TO SELL A NEW HOME AND EARN A SLICE OF THE REAL ESTATE PIE

IN PRINT AND ONLINE Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people. “When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors.

ARE PIGGIES STILL IN THE MARKET? Question: There used to be piggyback loans. Is such financing still available and, if so, is it safe for borrowers?

Answer: In basic terms, a piggyback loan is a form of financing – really two loans – that are used to avoid private mortgage insurance. The way it usually works is that a borrower can buy with 10 percent down. That’s a solid down payment but less than the 20 percent lenders want up front before they will finance without PMI. So, instead of financing with 10 percent down and a mortgage equal to 90 percent of the purchase price or the appraised value, whichever is less, the borrower goes for a piggyback loan. With piggyback financing – also called a “simultaneous second” – our borrower puts up 10

percent in cash, 80 percent in the form of a first loan and 10 percent with a second or junior lien. In this transaction we still have 90 percent financing, but because the first loan is only for 80 percent there is no PMI requirement. Because there is no monthly cost for PMI, the total mortgage payment for both loans with piggyback financing can be lower and more affordable than 90/10 financing. That said, the PMI savings can be offset – and perhaps even eliminated – if the interest-rate cost for the second is higher than the first mortgage. This brings us to an important point: If you’re considering a piggyback loan you have to compare it with 90/10 financing and look at the total monthly costs for each option. See which is best for you. The second loan with a piggyback mortgage can be either a second loan or a home equity line of credit. It may be that the second loan has a term of less than 30 years and thus higher monthly payments. Or, conceivably, you could have a fixed-rate first loan and a second mortgage that is adjustable, meaning that monthly interest costs for the second loan could rise in the future. In some case lenders will not allow an 80/10/10 piggyback arrangement and instead will want a deal

with 75/15/10 financing, meaning the buyer must have 15 percent down. Speak with lenders about specific programs and shop around for the best deals. You may want a piggyback loan if you feel that a substantial amount of cash is coming your way and intend to quickly pay off the second loan. Such a pay-off means the 80-percent first loan remains outstanding, but the second loan and its required monthly payment will be gone, so the borrower now has a lower total monthly housing cost in addition to no PMI. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protect Act, lenders are entirely free to offer piggyback loans under the condition that the borrower is qualified for financing on the basis of the ability to repay both loans. This is an important protection for both borrowers and lenders because nobody wants to see more foreclosures.

Master of the House SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES MAKE UP A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE RENTAL MARKET. BUT BEFORE INVESTING IN A PROPERTY, BE AWARE OF WHAT AWAITS IN THE LAND OF LANDLORDS

ooking into being a landlord? No longer can homebuyers count on purchasing now and selling for a profit later. Instead, buyers wanting to wring cash out of a home are eyeing an immediate payoff: rental income. The foreclosure crisis has scared off or prevented thousands of families from owning a home. But the lure of a nice home and yard endures: According to the Urban Institute, there are nearly 15 million units of single-family housing units in the U.S., making up about 35 percent of rental housing units. More folks looking to rent prompts more people to consider becoming landlords. “Investors of all types approached us to ‘teach’ them on how to become a successful real estate investor,” says Jim McClelland, president of MACK Companies in Tinley Park, Illinois, which purchases rentals for investors.
