Naples Balloon Mortgage

Naples Balloon mortgage basically means at the end of the fixed period or maturity their will be a balance on the note that is due immediately.The last payment is called a final payment and normally is substantially higher than your loan payments during the fixed period. I really never understood why borrowers would select a Naples Balloon mortgage. It seems to only put you in a position to refinance or maybe reset if you have worked out another more favorable term thereafter. 
This could be a valid reason to do a balloon payment if the reset terms and conditions are more favorable than the initial program. A majority of lenders do not use balloon payments because it puts both the borrower and lender in a precarious position if the loan does not reset.
If you are considering a balloon program, my recommendation is to make sure their is a reset clause and the terms are favorable and do not cause you to refinance and avoid costly reset conversion fees.

Good luck and hope this helps!

Naples VA assumable mortgages

Naples VA assumable mortgages has been a topic of a few calls this week. Borrowers lately have been asking questions about the process of assumable NaplesVA loans. A Naples VA assumable mortgage/loan is one that allows a new home buyer to take over the obligation of the seller's loan with no change in loan terms. This is generally true of loans without Due-On-Sale Clauses. Due on Sale cause would prohibit an assumption of the mortgage because the note is due upon selling the property.There is two ways to assume a NaplesVA loan.

First, the new buyer is a qualified Veteran who "Substitutes" their eligibility for the eligibility of the seller. In addition, the new buyer must be able to qualify through the current NaplesVA loan parameters.
This is the safest way for a seller to allow their loan to be assumed because the new buyer is responsible for the note. You will be released from the promissary note to repay on your Naples VA mortgage.. In addition, the seller can then use their full eligibility to purchase another home right away using their VA loan.
If the new buyer is not a veteran or qualified for a Naples VA loan, they have no eligibility to give the seller. Should the seller grant permission for the new buyer to take over their loan, the seller does not get back their eligibility to use on another home, and the seller is still on the hook for the payments should the buyer default. This generally is not the best course of action. Make sure if you decide to do a assumption of the mortgage with another vet that you do not have a due on sale cause or you do not give up your elgibility rights.

Hope this information has been helpful and please review all options with your mortgage professional.

Naples FHA 203k Rehab Renovation mortgage

The Naples  FHA 203k Renovation and Rehab loan has been doing really well in southwest Florida last year. Foreclosures, bank own properties, distressed and short sales are a major part of the homes listed for sale. In turn, sometimes these homes needs some"TLC"
  Fannie Mae is purchaser of most loans on the secondary market and is very strict about lending only on properties that do not have many issues.
Lenders are not lending unless a property is in almost perfect condition due to Fannie Mae investor requirements. This put a huge void in the market for "fixer uppers" and homes sitting empty for years at a time.
The Federal Housing Administration  and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, designed a program to fit this growing concern of abandoned homes. The Naples FHA 203k rehab program was then implemented by lenders according to their investor overlays. This program is only for rehabilitation and repair of single family primary residence properties. Not many lenders are currently participating in the Naples FHA 203k rehab loan. We are proud to announce that we have become experts in Naples FHA 203k rehab/renovation mortgages.

Many first time home buyers are taking advantage of the Naples FHA 203k home loan, because of the very low down payment requirement of 3.5% and you can get financing up to 110% of the fair market value once the house is completed.
Only one closing is required and the funds to make the repairs are held in escrow until the work is competed. My punta gorda office recently has been completing a lot of these 203k rehab loans. We have a very aggressive Naples FHA 203k rehab loan. Call me today to discuss you options.

Naples Title Insurance

Naples title insurance is a requirement to complete any loan transaction. The lender requires title insurance which is normally paid by the buyer in collier county. We are one of only two counties in Florida that the buyer pays title. If the seller has their existing title insurance policy they can get what is called a "re-issue credit" or a significant discount.
Naples title insurance is issued by an insurance company that guarantees that the title to the parcel of real property is clear and properly in the name of the seller. The reason for the insurance is should the Naples title insurance at a later date have problems that arise with the title such as incorrect description the insurance company would pay the damages to the holder of Naples title insurance.
The abstract of title is the historical summary provided by a title insurance company of all records affecting the title to the property. This is imperative for the lender in making a underwriting decision on the loan package that is provided by tile insurance company or attorney's agent. We usually review the title report policy prior to sending the file into underwriting to ensure that title is not "clouded". An example of title being clouded would be a tax lien on the property. The seller has an undisclosed lien or property encumbrances.

Chain of title is the entire historical past of the specific property as it pertains to the public records that are recorded at the clerk of courts office. We analyse the chain of title to see if any recent sales have been worth noting. Lenders to do like to see a lot of title transfers in a short time period unless the property is a foreclosure and the ownership and rights can change frequently.

Borrower's can expect to pay the title policy with any Fannie Mae owned foreclosures. Naples title insurance calculator rates are located on the link provided. Fannie Mae Foreclosures also make the buyer pay the doc stamps on the deed. These two fees can get very costly. My advice is to make sure when you decide to put in a contract to review all the Fannie Mae (FNMA) fees assoc with the purchase. Sometimes it might be better to walk than pay the hefty fees if you are not getting a really great deal on the purchase price.
Title insurance also has three more standard items that are required to complete the Naples mortgage transaction. Florida form 9 and Alta 5.1 PUD if in a planned unit development and Alta 8.1 Environmental protection lien fee.
We hope this post has helped you in understand why the lender requires Naples title insurance. The lender has to protect their investment but you as the borrower also are getting a service with knowing your purchase is protected with title insurance.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any Naples title insurance questions.

Clams's pass Naples, FL beach

CLAM’S PASS NAPLES, FLORIDA BEACH

I love this beach ! I would rank this beach #1 in Naples. You can take one step into the water and the tide will take you to the other side of the beach. The tide is very fast and fishing is Awesome. This beach is located close to Naples Grande hotel. In order to get to the beach you have to take a trolley that has a very scenic route. Its about a .25% mile as you go through the beautiful mangroves. The county built a wooden bridge years ago that takes you to the beach. Once you reach the beach drop off you have a pavilion where you can get food and drinks
The area is very narrow and shallow in most spots. The mangroves add another beauty to the area. Check it out, you will enjoy this spot.

Picking between a 30 year fixed vs 15 year fixed

Recently a lot of borrowers have been asking my opinion on which product to select between Naples loan products 30 year fixed versus 15 year fixed.

A majority of home buyers select a 30 Year Mortgage payment without considering the 15 year option.
The first question I ask a client is what is your long term goal with the property?

With the 15 year option, you will receive a lower interest rate compared to the 30 year fixed. The 15 year option is becoming increasingly more popular now than recent years according to clients I speak with on a daily basis.
With the 15 year option, you will pay less in interest over the life of the loan and will build equity much faster. You will build equity but your payment is also considerably higher. The 30 year option the payment is much lower; in turn you pay more interest throughout the life of the loan. Let me give you an example: If you close on a $200,000 at 5%, you will pay around $175,000 in interest over the life of the loan compared to $75,000 in interest on a 15 year fixed at 4.5%. Picking between and 15 and 30 year fixed can be a difficult decision.

I always ask borrowers to consider if their cash reserves are sufficient to carry the loan if employment becomes an issue. You can always select the 30 year option and make additional payment towards the balance reduction. This protects you with a low payment but if times are good financially, you can always apply towards principal reduction.

It is impertive to weigh all the options and make a sound decision based upon your short, near and long term goals. Naples loan products can  be a very tough decision.

Take your time and evaluate what is BEST for your current financial situation. Please do not hesitate to contact us , I will guide you through the process.
