Ready For Rent EXPLOSION?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Many of you might not know that in addition to doing home mortgage loans, I also own and co-manage about 100 rental units in Salt Lake City, Utah. Over the last 6 months we have gone from 15% plus vacancy to ZERO vacancies as I write this article. Guess what is going through my mind, guess what is going through every landlord and apartment manager in the city’s mind? You guessed it, we’re raising rents. You see inflation is upon us and the first thing that goes up is rent! Compare that to a homeowner who has a 30 year fixed mortgage rate at 5% or less. Guess what happens to him when inflation comes… Nothing! His or her rate is fixed and their payment CAN’T go up.

If you are employed and have reasonable credit, renting right now makes little sense for several reasons.

Think twice about Holiday shopping

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Want to buy a home or refinance your current mortgage?  Think twice about how you shop this holiday season.

OK everyone. Stop what you’re doing and think again.  Before you head out for Black Fridays “deals” or cyber Saturday’s online deals make sure you have the cash to purchase everything and a list to stick to.  You may ruin your credit score and any loan or refinance you have in the works if you raise your debt ratios or open a store card.  That store card and its “10% off” may be the difference between owning your dream home and continuing to rent.

Contact us at  www.UtahCreditCoach.com   with questions.

p.s. The lower your score the higher your interest rate.  Its expensive to have a low credit score.

Should I Continue To Rent?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Incredible!!!  Roughly a $98,000 savings when you buy a home vs. continuing to rent

 The following breakdown is based on monthly rent of 1200/m0nth with 40/m0nth in renters insurance  vs. home purchase price of 225,000 interest rate 4%, 30 year loan, home owners insurance of 400/year and property taxes of 1500/year.

Something to think about, so if you feel that renting gives you freedom, you seem to be paying a lot of money for that freedom.

If you are unsure if you would even qualify for a loan? Ready to move forward and get going on buying a home?  Need to refinance?   Check us out  www.UtahCreditCoach.com  You would be amazed at what we can do.  Why wait, you’re just flushing money down the drain.
