Question: My husband got approved for $80,000?

I didnt get approved cause of my credit but he did……so once we got approved for this amount….we looked at a 89,000 home…what the max amount you can talk down the price of a home. and what price range is sutitable to look for cause we want money to use from the lenders for repairs and better furniture…im a first time buyer and making sure we dont make one of the biggest mistake of our lives…i know real estate agents arent going to be straightfoward with you

Answer: How much do you have saved for your down payment? You really are about to make a huge mistake if you do not have about 7% saved up, then wanting new furniture (understandable and why many people run up the credit to furnish and end up loosing the house because they can not pay all the bills) add to that that that you want even more money than the 80K loan you qualified for for repairs.

MANY realestate agents are going to be your very best friend especially if you are a first time buyer.

Question: what kind of interest rate im looking at for an auto loan with a credit score of 750?

I want me a 2005 chrysler sebring so baddddd!! And whats the best place to apply for that loan besides my shady credit union? I been with my credit union for 6 years now…and if i was to take my income tax check there they crazy @#$%^ want to hold it for 10 days, like the dam check aint mines!!

Answer: HomeSchoolMom said it best… perhaps you should rethink that 2005 Sebring. Is your current set of wheels really that bad? Hold on for another year, and that Sebring will cost you even less.

I know. I just saved a bunch of money buying my car with cash. Got a great deal on a former rental car, well maintained, low mileage, etc. But the best part? NO CAR PAYMENT!

Okay… just in case we haven’t convinced you yet, go to your credit union and talk with a lending officer. Credit Unions are the best place to get your car loan. Don’t step foot on to a car dealership without having your funding already lined up.

If you’d like to run some numbers, here is a web site with some great calculators that you can use to see what the true cost of the car will be and what the best loan for you will be: http://www.dinkytown.com/auto.html

Good luck!

Bernard Hickey talks to Marcus Lush on Radio Live

Across America the real estate market is suffering from the economic climate; in some areas the economic decline combined with overbuilding in previous years has left many condominium units standing empty and unwanted for extended periods of time.

In the years before the recession, there was a boom in condo construction in many cities across America as real estate values just kept climbing with no apparent end in sight. This recent building boom has, in many areas, helped cause an even bigger glut in the condo market when combined with the economic downturn and resulting epidemic of foreclosures.

One of the programs that has been supporting condo sales is that of urban tax abatements that allow home owners in certain areas to pay reduced—or no—property taxes to give buyers an incentive to live in areas that have been previously seen as undesirable. Many of these tax breaks were set up for finite amounts of time, running anywhere from five to fifteen or twenty-five years; and some of these tax abatements are now coming to an end at a particularly bad time.

Because there are so many home owners who’re already having problems paying their mortgages currently, the end of these tax breaks has the potential to increase this problem exponentially. With all of the foreclosed homes on the market at present—as well as homes that have already been on the market for an extended period of time—there is the very real possibility that American city’s condo markets are very soon going to be in even worse shape.

The increased numbers of condos that will possibly be unoccupied once these tax abatements have expired are likely to cause condo owners who stay in their homes additional strain as well. In condominiums, association fees are paid by owners to collectively cover maintenance costs for the building and pay any employees—like doormen or security. The fewer owners there are in a condo complex, the fewer pieces this monthly payment can be divided up into and the bigger chunk of change that each of the individual home owners will have to fork over. These bigger monthly association fees will put further strain on already overburdened owners struggling to keep their condos.

There doesn’t appear to be any plan in the works for home owners who will be affected by this tax abatement expiration at this time; but it would likely be in the municipal governments’ best interest to start coming up with ways to help ease home owners’ financial pain that they are more than likely going to feel over this issue.
