How to find the right home mortgage so you don’t overpay STATEPOINT MEDIA

A

mple bedrooms and bathrooms?

Check. A roomy kitchen? Check. A nice-sized backyard, storage space in the attic and just the right amount of curb appeal? Check, check and check.

Once you’ve found your perfect home, the next step is finding the right mortgage -- which can sometimes feel like you’re competing in a contact sport, being blindsided by confusing requests or financial surprises

as you go through the application process.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 63.7 percent of Americans own their home.

But getting there wasn’t necessarily easy. A 2017 NerdWallet survey reports that 42 percent of homeowners felt the home-buying process was stressful, a third said it was complicated, and 21 percent found it intimidating.

To help make you a mortgage all-star, Ally Home has created “The Mortgage Playbook,” a free, easy-to-read resource.

Authored by members of the Ally Home Team, a dedicated group of loan experts, the “Playbook” features four sections that cover the entire field -- from a getting-started game plan to approval and closing on a mortgage.

It also breaks down confusing financial terms, helping applicants avoid pain during the home buying process.

To help you prepare for your mortgage game day, here are three top tips from the experts at Ally: • Maximize your financial fitness.

There are five steps consumers should take to improve their “financial fitness” before applying for a mortgage. These include demonstrating stable employment, managing debt, paying down credit accounts, accumulating assets like savings or retirement accounts to boost credit histories, and reviewing (and correcting, if necessary) your credit reports.

• K n o w y o u r n u m b e r s . B o rrowers can take advantage of free SEE MORTGAGE/PAGE 38

A

house with a fabulous view can be hard for a homebuyer to resist. But seeing the mountains, water or city lights from the comfort of home comes at a price. The hazy part is figuring out what that added cost is — and whether it’s worth it.

That’s where real estate appraisers and analysts who study home values can help, even though they recognize there’s no simple answer.

“V iews are actually really dif ficult to quantify,” says Andy Krause, principal data scientist at Greenfield Advisors, a real estate research company. “It’s somewhat subjective. What makes a better water view? Do you want it to be wider? Do you want more of the water from a taller angle?

You know, some of that is in the eye of the beholder.”

Assigning a dollar value can also be difficult because not all views are equal or valuable, and a view that’s sought-after in one location may not be in another.

In Manhattan, a place that overlooks a green space will cost you a lot extra. In the countr yside? Not as much, says Mauricio Rodriguez, a real estate exper t who chairs the

A home par tway up a hill with a par tially obstructed water view over neighbors’ rooftops could increase the overall price by 10 percent to 30 percent. It depends on how much of your field of vision the view fills, both ver tically and horizontally, Krause says. In this example, a home other wise wor th $500,000 might fetch $550,000 to $650,000.

To make the most of small outdoor spaces, designed by Parker, a landscape architect. Parker suggests using plants with bold Parker recommends using one large, dramatic planter rather than several smaller color to bring maximum beauty to a limited outdoor space. ones.

Squeezing the most out of small outdoor spaces

BY MELISSA RAYWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A

s herb and vegetable gardens, composting and other aspects of green living become more popular, many people with limited outdoor space are looking for ways to squeeze the most out of it.

“A client in a modern high-rise in downtown Chicago did not have a typical garden per se, but did have a large outdoor balcony with a beautiful view,” says interior designer Edyta Czajkowska, founder of the Chicago design firm Edyta & Co. “We created a garden space for her by using planters in varying sizes that she could plant flowers and herbs in. We stuck to one plant per planter, which created an organic yet tailored look, while still elevating something as simple as garlic or chives.”

Even a small patio or balcony can be made useful and plant-friendly, interior designers say.

Here, Czajkowska and two other exper ts — Connecticut landscape architect and designer Janice Parker, and Atlanta interior designer Jen Sypeck — offer advice on creating a lush and plant-friendly area even in a tiny space.

Decide what your goals are. Do you want to fill the space with beautiful blooms, cutting some for indoor flower arrangements throughout the summer?

Or would you love to grow an ample crop of herbs for cooking or become a composter? Once you choose, get creative.

“A vertical garden is a great option for smaller spaces as it only utilizes wall space, and you can actually plant quite a bit in it,” Czajkowska says. “Just like with small interior spaces, you’d be surprised at what you can fit into a space that’s well thought out.”

As you plan, consider which tools or equipment you’ll need for gardening or other outdoor work. One space-saving solution: For seating, choose closed benches with storage space inside.

ef for t, consider a pre-planted container of succulents such as cheveria, kalanchoe and sedum. They’re hardy, Sypeck says, “but they don’t look like it, as they produce vibrant colors and flowers. When paired together, they create a striking container garden, with the same care requirements.”

If you want color and beauty during the warm season, Parker says, “stick with annuals for high impact color from May to October.”

If your outdoor space doesn’t get much sun, choose plants that do well in the shade.

And in a limited space, “choose plants that grow slowly and keep their form,” Parker says, like boxwood roses or Japanese maples.

EMBRACE COLOR AND DRAMA CHOOSE PLANTS STRATEGICALLY

If you’r e a first-time gar dener, Sypeck says, “star t with a hardy plant like rosemary or lavender. Both of these beauties of fer a statement moment, an ornamental element, aromatic benefits and are hard to kill.”

Another good option is buying premade container gardens with plants and flowers that work together. “Chances are a garden expert paired ever ything with similar needs,” she says.

MAP OUT YOUR PLAN Assess your space realistically, says “That way, you can water accordingly Czajkowska, and then seek inspiration and provide the correct amount of sunat a home and garden store or on Pin- light needed.”

For vivid color without too much terest.

In a small space, Parker says, don’t be afraid to go big. For example, instead of planting herbs or flowers in small planters, choose one large and dramatic planter as a design statement.

She and Sypeck say there are many beautiful, lightweight planters available made with a mix of fiberglass and zinc or bronze, so you can create a dramatic look that’s safe to use on rooftops or balconies where weight is an issue.

“I personally love mixing materials and styles with my outdoor containers,” Sypeck says. “Layering with a variety of heights and textures is my approach, and I tend to favor copper, cement and

stone, all with a soft, modern sensibility.”

She also recommends repurposing unexpected items as eye-catching containers: “An old copper ice bucket was one of my latest victims turned into a now thriving succulent garden,” she says. “I’ve also been known to spray paint a pot or two if I’m craving a new color and vibe.”

Even a small composting bin can be hidden inside an attractive planter, helping that practical item blend well into an outdoor living space.

Earth tones work well for planters, Parker says, but “one wonderful brightly colored planter can be terrific” too.

MAKE OTHER DETAILS COUNT

Think of a balcony or small patio as an outdoor room, Parker suggests.

Choose a beautiful table as a focal point, even if it’s small and will have plants on it.

Also consider lighting, and how the space will look and feel at night, as well as during the day. If the outdoor space doesn’t have electricity, no problem.

Use LED candles or batter y-powered lights clustered around the space.

“Outdoor lighting will really create a sense of intimacy,” Parker says, “and welcome you out into the space.”

As a finishing touch, add a sculpture or other item — like a decorative birdcage painted a bright color — amid your plants.

How many miles per gallon does your home get?

E

BRANDPOINT CONTENT

veryone wants the inside scoop on how to get the best deal.

Ironically, consumers will do a bunch of research over a $500 smart phone and relatively little for the largest purchase of their lives, their homes.

Most home buyers focus on price and payments, however, factoring in a home’s energy consumption costs

could save tens of thousands of dollars over years of ownership. Comparing the performance and construction quality of one home to another is often not apples to apples. Newly built homes tend to be more energy efficient than older homes, but total per formance is also influenced by the builder and design, said CR Herro, a building scientist and vice president of environmental affairs for Meritage Homes.

HOME ENERGY RATING SCORE When buying a new or resale home, buyers can use a shopping tool to help them understand the anticipated costs of a home’s energy bills. The Home Energy Rating Score, or HERS, is the industr y standard for measuring a home’s energy efficiency. It was created by the not-for-profit Residential Energy Ser vices Network (RESNet), an independent consortium of building

scientists and construction experts.

Think of HERS like miles-per-gallon fuel economy for your car, except that a lower HERS is better: • According to the U.S. Depar tment of Energy, a typical resale home in the U.S. rates a HERS 130 and costs approximately $200,000 in utilities over a 30-year mor tgage.

‘Genuine leather?’

‘Real wood?’

How to read furniture labels

A

mericans spend billions of dollars a year on furniture, but they’re often not getting what they paid for. A big part of the problem is misleading labels, experts say.

Terms like “genuine leather” and “real wood,” which seem straightforward enough, can be industr y codewords for composite materials.

And once items arrive on your doorstep, furniture — unlike most other consumer goods — is often too cumbersome to return. It’s also the type of product that people buy infrequently, and so they might be unsure what to look for.

“The language that companies sometimes use to sell their furniture is so funny and misleading that even I was duped by an online ad into thinking I was getting something made of solid wood,” says Jen Levin, who owns the Maine-based Chilton Furniture Co. with her husband, Jared. They specialize in Shaker-style wood furniture.

“I am extremely par ticular about wood, and my husband laughed his head of f when he lear ned I’d been fooled into buying furniture made of some kind of composite. And guess what? It would have been such a pain to return the chairs that I ended up keeping them,” she says. “It’s embarrassing to admit.”

“The minute I pulled them out of the box I knew they were wrong. They were

too lightweight, and if you look at where the chair leg meets the seat, there was a little space where the so-called ‘wood grain’ stopped and the leg was just a pulpy white.”

Levin and other furniture exper ts advise consumers to ask questions about what they’re buying. The term “top-grain leather” indicates a higher quality product than “bonded” or “genuine” leather. “Solid wood,” or better yet a specific type and quality of solid wood, indicates higher quality than “real wood” or, for example, “cherry colored wood,” terms often used to misrepresent lowerquality wood furniture.

“The dif ference is tr uly in the details,” says Tracy Paccione, senior vice president of merchandizing for Ethan Allen furniture. But, she says, “there are some things you can look for to distinguish high-quality furniture from the rest.”

WOOD

“We recommend looking for quality construction details, such as dovetailed drawer cor ners, mor tise-and-tenon joinery on furniture tops and rails, and floating anti-warp cleats on dining table tops and headboards,” Paccione says.

“Intricate wood carvings or hand-applied accents can only be achieved with great attention and skill. They are good indicators that the piece was made with care.”

LEATHER

Ethan Allen via AP

In this photo provided by Ethan Allen, a craftsman is shown sanding the detailed shapes of the Ethan Allen Quincy Bed post with a hand-held brush sander in their North American workshops..

When looking for leather furniture, ask if the piece is fully upholstered in genuine leather, Paccione says. Some upholstered leather pieces may be vinyl-matched, meaning they are partly upholstered in a vinyl that matches the leather. Paccione says Ethan Allen “only uses top-grain and full-grain leather for its upholstered furniture pieces.”

Know your leather lingo: “Bonded leather” is a material that has been reprocessed from many leather pieces, which typically have been ground up, reconstituted and glued together into a sheet. It is typically less resilient than hide, and is more likely to crack and peel.

“Genuine leather” is made from a hide, but the term doesn’t necessarily mean it is well made. Bonded leather that contains only hide parts can be marketed as genuine leather.

“Top-grain leather” comes from the most durable part of the hide. It is lightly sanded

or buffed to minimize natural markings.

“Full-grain leather” is unaltered by sanding or buf fing, so it retains the hide’s natural markings and is often thicker and more durable.

FABRIC

When choosing upholstery, think about your lifestyle, Paccione says.

“Does it need to withstand pets and the kids on a sofa, or is it being used for an accent piece in the bedroom? Look for details about the fabric’s wearability, or consider highperformance fabrics that are Stretch Studio | Chilton Furniture via AP specially treated with protecThis photo provided by Chilton tive finishes,” she says.

Credit tips for buying an investment property

f you love the idea of being a landlord, and don’t mind being on duty around the clock, buying an investment proper ty may be the wealth-building option for you.

Property values have enjoyed a steady increase over the decades. That’s why real estate has earned its reputation as a sound investment that builds wealth and credit.

Most people, however, don’t have the quantity of cash on hand to purchase a house or apar tment building outright.

Still, if becoming a landlord means taking out a 30-year mortgage, the monthly payments from the tenants should be enough to service the loan and build equity for you, while leaving some cash flow so you can maintain the property.

If buying investment property sounds like a step you’d like to take, here are some credit considerations every investor needs to know.

in good living condition for your tenants. One thing that can affect your credit score is the amount of credit you’re using.

Unfortunately, keeping a higher balance could result in a lower credit score.

As a rule, keep your credit utilization at 30 percent or less. For example, if your credit card has a $5,000 limit, the balance should not get any higher than $1,500.

Throughout the billing cycle, keep an eye on the balance, and pay it down when you can.
