HUD Offers Columbia South Carolina REO Homes for

$100 Down….

HUD has approved a program that will help get Columbia foreclosed homes back into the hands of owner-occupied buyers. HUD $100 down payment program can also be applied to FHA 203K loans, which can be used to fund repairs and renovations of the home. The 203k program allows Columbia buyers to finance both the mortgage and additional money for rehabilitation needs with a single government- insured loan.  With an FHA 203k loan, Columbia buyers can find a property that needs some TLC, fix it up however they want to, and finance the whole thing for $100 down. In addition to $100 down instead of FHA’s typical 3.5 percent down payment, HUD says it will also cover up to 3 percent of the closing costs in most cases.

So now lets say you find a home that you love but the roof leaks or the kitchen is outdated. For your house that is almost perfect, with a FHA 203K mortgage and home improvement loan all in one you can,

  • Remodel kitchen
  • Paint the house or add siding
  • Replace a leaky roof
  • Install new flooring
  • Repair/replace HVAC
  • Update electrical wiring
  • Repair/replace plumbing
  • Add new appliances
  • Paint the interior
  • Finish the basement
  • Remodel bathrooms

Halloween Safety

Halloween in Columbia is exciting for children, dressing up in costumes, games, and most important trick or treating. These cherish memories will last a lifetime.

I would like to remind adults and children of Columbia SC some necessary precautions that need to be taken during Halloween.

• Children should always trick or treat with an adult or older sibling

• Only go to familiar homes and neighborhoods

• Stay out of the road and always walk facing traffi c.

• Wear costumes that do not restrict movement or limit vision.

• Carry a flashlight

• Do not accept anything from anyone in a vehicle.

Columbia what do you think?

20 Thursday Oct 2011

I just read somewhere that a proposed measure in congress would offer visas to  any foreigner making a cash investment of at least $500,000 on residential real-estate—a single-family house, condo or townhouse. Applicants can spend the entire amount on one house or spend as little as $250,000 on a residence and invest the rest in other residential real estate, since they can only live in one home at a time the others can be rented out. This bill is suppose to help the struggling real estate market recover. I was wondering what you thought; will this help the real estate market or pose more potential financial problems for the country and individual states in the long run? Let me know how you feel.

Buying your first home

Columbia SC your first home

I can still remember buying my first home – it was a big deal in my life; and majorly scary. Boy did I loved that home. It was only 700 square feet, 4 rooms and I think the builder forgot the closet in the house plans because they were so small it had to be an after thought.

I know how scary buying your first home can be it is not a decision one takes lightly.  I want to encourage you to take that leap. Owning a home will not only lay a foundation for your financial future but it will also enable you to live the ultimate dream and help set the tone for your personal lifestyle. I know for many buying your first home may be the most expensive investment you have ever made, it will also be one of the smartest.

The process of buying your first home can be downright confusing, from writing an offer to obtaining the financing to purchase; even navigating the closing. You are bound to have a lot of questions, and not knowing the answer can not only be scary but stressful, but after all that I can guarantee it will be absolutely worth it.

As a professional Realtor helping you to buy your first home is one of the most satisfying aspect of my job. I know that becoming a homeowner is a huge milestone, and I feel honored to be involved. it is a very exciting opportunity, an emotional moment that can mean so many powerful things to the first time home buyer. I have arrived; I’m responsible, we’re secure, we’re part of a neighborhood, and best we’re home.

I love this business and I am proud to help people take ownership of their first home. I have no doubt that whoever guides you through the process feels exactly same. So, good luck on your milestone journey. I hope it is an enjoyable and memorable ride, and I know you will be thrilled when you get there – your first home

18th-ranked Gamecocks call on Shaw to take over at QB over Garcia against Kentucky

Steve Spurrier’s decision to swap out senior quarterback Stephen Garcia with sophomore Connor Shaw in the South Carolina Kentucky game Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium was the rght call. I believe Spurrier has finally gotten the South Carolina’s Gamecocks on the road to championship.
