Veterans must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.
Length-of-service requirements apply in most cases.

HUD came out with three major changes for FHA this week March 2012
|
| HUD came out with three major changes this week for FHA loans when case numbers ordered April 1 2012 and afterward. This does not mean that the loan must be closed by April 1, 2012 but a contract must be executed and the FHA case number ordered through their system by that date.
These changes have the potential to hurt the housing industry and disqualify buyers who could have purchased in the past!
Change #1- Increase in Upfront and Monthly MIP
The UFMIP will be increased from 1 percent to 1.75 percent of the base loan amount. This increase applies regardless of the amortization term or LTV ratio. FHA will continue to permit financing of this charge into the mortgage. Again, this change is effective for case numbers assigned on or after April 1, 2012. In addition, the monthly MIP will increase by .10.

Austin Energy $50 Old Refrigerator Rebates.
|
| Austin Texas has another great program to help you save the environment and to put a few bucks in your pocket as well.
If you have an old refrigerator with a standard size of 14-27 cubic feet and it is currently working. You can call 1-800-452-8586 and arrange for Austin Energy to come pick it up and give you a $50 REBATE to boot. So far they have collected over 15,000 fridges and 2 of those are from me. It is a great thing for the environment and plus when a major company charges you 50 bucks to deliver this can help offset the cost.
The refriderator is an appliance that uses most of your energy so when you buy new and recycle you help to save some money on electricity.
If you want to save more money my rebate program can help. Whether you are looking to buy or sell a home I help you save thousands of dollars in the process.
Give me a call or email to learn more about my rebate program here in Austin Texas.
Have a great 2012
