Can You Afford To Buy?
Welcome > For Buyers > Can You Afford To Buy? ...

Today, more than ever before, there are a number of programs out there to help you purchase a home!   Here we highlight a few of these programs.  For example, there are grants for down payments, help with home repairs, assistance for union workers, low credit score mortgages, rent to purchase options, and more!  Often these special programs require a lot of paper work and sometimes will not be presented to you as a solution by your mortgage specialist.  Call us today at 845-401-4345 to explore these possible solutions.  We will do everything we can to give you the “giff” of the American dream.

Need help coming up with a down payment?  State of New York Mortgage Agency (Sonyma) now offers a $10,000 grant (FREE MONEY) for your down payment.  Additionally, Sonyma will help you finance your closing costs.  If that is not enough, after living in your home for a qualifying number of years your mortgage will be FORGIVEN!

Have a low credit score?  Recently, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) revised their lending guidelines.  Now you can qualify for a FHA mortgage with a FICA (credit score) of 580!

Need to do home repairs?  The Federal Housing Administration (FHA)  has a program to help you complete needed repairs on your home.

Are you a union worker?  There is a program that will help in many ways.  For example, this program will help you with closing costs. Additionally, if you can’t pay your mortgage due to a family emergency?  This program will cover your monthly mortgage payments for up to six months.

Renting, but want to buy?  Rent with the option to purchase is becoming more and more popular.  In this case, part of your monthly rent goes towards the home purchase.  In some cases, only one or two years of renting will lead to you owning the home!

Do you not qualify for any of these programs?  It is a buyers market and today many sellers are offering incentives.  You may be able to negotiate for help with closing costs, home repairs, property tax payments or home owners association fees.

Let us help you explore the best option for you!  Contact us today at 845-401-4345 to learn more!  The “giff” of the American dream can be yours!

Real Estate Tips
Buyers Remorse >Buyers Remorse

If you are like most buyers who sign a purchase agreement on a new home, you will almost certainly feel a wave of overwhelming anxiety. You may begin to question your judgement -- did I pay too much? Is it the right home? Can I really afford the mortgage payments? How can I get out of it? This response--referred to as "Buyer's Remorse"--is completely normal!

Call your friends who have owned a home for a few years if you experience an attack of buyer's remorse. Are they bothered by rapidly escalating home prices? Probably not, because that means the value of their home is increasing. Did they feel anxious when they first signed the agreement? They may tell you that they felt just as anxious as you are feeling, but now are really glad that they went through with the purchase. Have they made improvements to the property that heightened their enjoyment of the home? They will probably say they much prefer the creative freedom of being a homeowner compared with having to ask the landlord's permission to put in a garden or paint the living room.

When you experience a buyer's panic attack, be strong -- you have a great deal to gain!
