Boston Rent Cap and Eviction Law Public Hearing March 14th at 4:00 pm.

Tue, 01 Mar 2016 20:29:59 GMT

March 1, 2016
Boston Rent Cap and Eviction Law Public Hearing March 14th at 4:00
On March 14th, the Boston City Council will hold a public hearing on a move to cap rents and amend the eviction law in Boston. Members of the public are welcome to attend the meeting which will be held at Boston City Hall, 5th floor in the City Council Chamber at4:00 p.m (please note the hearing was originally scheduled for 2:00).
Current state law provides for "no-fault" evictions. The proposed law if approved by the City Council and the state legislature would fundamentally alter existing landlord tenant law and contractual relations in the City of Boston. Among the proposed changes are:

Prohibiting non-payment of rent until a resident is "habitually late;
Limiting and in some cases prohibiting an owners' right to occupy their own unit for person use or for the use of their family;
Prohibiting evictions for property damage if the tenant agrees to enter into a "reasonable" repayment agreement and not to cause further damage;
Limiting evictions to those of "just cause" as determined by the City;
Mandatory mediation with City selected mediators for lease expirations, terminations of tenancy-at-will and rent increases in excess of 5%;
Granting market tenants the right to remain after the expiration of their lease term;
Limiting terminations of tenancies-at-will;
Limiting rent increases in excess of 5%

No councilors have formally introduced legislation. However a draft has circulated at Boston City Hall and the order for a hearing will allow proponents the opportunity make the case Councilors advance formal legislation.
According to the Boston Globe the measure has the tentative support of Mayor Walsh. Members of the City Council also commented on the proposal in a recent edition of the Banker & Tradesman.
GBREB strongly opposes changes to the eviction law that will severely limit an owner’s ability to evict a tenant and alter existing landlord-tenant law by local option, undermining uniformity across the Commonwealth.

Conventional loans now offering 3% Down Payment programs.

Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:20:11 GMT

READ THE FULL FORBES ARTICLE WRITTEN BY MARK GREENE: http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgreene/2014/12/09/3-down-conventional-loans-are-here-for-real/

3% Down Conventional Loans Are Here For Real

"Last week I shared that this was coming but that no announcement had been made. Well here it is, officially announced on Monday, 12/08/2014 and effectively online over the weekend of 12/13/2014;Fannie Mae will offer 97% LTV financing to help home buyers who would otherwise qualify for a mortgage but may not have the resources for a larger down payment.

I read the FannieMae press release and the official Selling Guide Announcement SEL-2014-15 to see if either was signed by Santa Claus, but they were not. First time homebuyers can now in fact put as little as 3% down and get conventional financing (no longer confined to the FHA only box). There are no prohibitive restrictions; in fact if two people are buying a home, only one of them need be a first time buyer. Standard FannieMae underwriting guidelines and standard PMI coverage and costs apply. This is a significant mortgage financing event and should bring more first time buyers into the active home buyers’ pool.

I would expect to see mortgage and real estate people waiving the 3% down payment banner in all of the parades and in all of the advertising media in the months to come. Up until now, the limited-down-payment-first-time-home-buyer market was sorely underserved primarily with HUD insured FHA financing as the primary option. As FHA mortgage insurance (MIP) costs have risen to dizzying heights in the last few years, consumers in this market segment stepped back to assemble more down payment and qualifying virtues to secure conventional financing. Expensive FHA upfront and monthly mortgage insurance made the economics of low down payment mortgage financing prohibitive.

Enter 3% down payment conventional mortgage financing and the landscape changes dramatically. Conventional financing does not handcuff borrowers to mortgage insurance forever like FHA MIP does. Once equity targets (20% – 22%) are reached, current appraisal supported value can eliminate conventional PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). Not so with that FHA MIP, once you get it, the only way to get rid of it is to refinance out of the FHA loan or sell the house!

And let us not forget about that upfront FHA MIP insurance which is 1.75% of the loan amount added to the loan. So a $200,000 FHA loan would actually start at $203,500 ($3,500 for the upfront MIP). I did not make that up, go look it up for yourself!

By the way, conventional PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) has no upfront PMI, never has.

If you were a first time homebuyer with a limited amount of money for a down payment, which would you choose?

I gotta’ think that the justification model for that ever increasing FHA MIP is getting a hard second look over at HUD. Or at least I certainly hope that it is, otherwise these new FannieMae enhancements will further erode already reduced FHA loan volume. With the MMI (Mutual Mortgage Insurance) Fund already running an unsustainable deficit, reduced FHA volume and the reduction in the attendant MIP will visit the kind of financial crisis upon HUD that may necessitate a dreaded bailout.

Historically, Commissioner Galante and her team respond with increasing FHA MIP to solve the MMI Fund deficit management issue. Not sure if that will help this time because all of those potential MIP contributors will be over at FannieMae making payments on their 3% down conventional loans."

FHA loan limit will remain $426,650 for Bristol County in 2015.

Wed, 10 Dec 2014 17:07:19 GMT

For all those FHA buyers out there that were hoping the FHA loan limits would be raised in 2015, you will be disappointed to hear that the FHA loan limit will remain $426,650 for Bristol County in 2015.

You can look up the FHA loan limits by County here:https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm

If you need a loan for more than $426,650 you will need to use another type of loan.

If you want to know what your financing options are please contact me today and I can refer you to our lender. From there they will review your entire financial scenario and explain what loan options are available to you.

"News Corp. closes realtor.com deal" reported by Inman News.

Tue, 09 Dec 2014 21:52:55 GMT

Paul Hagey with Inman News reported today that, "It’s official: Global media giant News Corp. now owns realtor.com operator Move Inc., with the $950 million deal closing today.News Corp. owns media outlets around the world including The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, HarperCollins Publishers and London-based The Times. Those assets are expected to expand realtor.com’s reach in ways that haven’t been detailed yet."

I hope News Corp can get Move to wake up and get Realtor.com back to being the number one source for online real estate consumers. Move has done a HORRIBLE job so far and has let Zillow, Trulia, and Redfin become leaders of our industry over the past several years.

Conventional loan program changes! "...now allows borrowers that had a foreclosure included in a BK to buy after 4 years instead of waiting 7 years..."

Mon, 15 Sep 2014 17:04:36 GMT

I have received this email below from several lenders over the past few days explaining the NEW time requirements for buyers with previous short sales and foreclosures. As of August 16th you can not get conventional financing after only 4 years from your foreclosure if it was included in a BK. this is down from 7 years previously. That is the good news. The bad news is that buyers with previous short sales now have to wait 4 years instead of 2 years. So this change could help you or negatively impact you. Please call us today for more info.

"Robert,
Several people have reached out to me with questions regarding Fannie Mae's recent guideline changes. These changes affect borrowers that have had short sales and borrowers that had BK's with foreclosures involved.

As of August 16th, 2014 it might be harder to buy a new property after experiencing a short sale, assuming you plan on using conventional financing. The prior guideline allowed you obtain a Fannie Mae loan just two years after short selling your previous home even without extenuating circumstances as long as you had at least 20% down payment.

The new Fannie Mae guideline states:

There will be a standard four-year waiting period after short sale, with a two-year waiting period if you can prove extenuating circumstances.

*Freddie Mac has a standard four-year waiting period after short sale as well.
** FHA allows borrowers who have had short sales to get mortgages after just three years (without extenuating circumstances).
***Fannie Mae defines an extenuating circumstance as nonrecurring events that resulted in sudden/significant reductions in income, or a catastrophic increase in your financial obligations.

Call, Text, or Email as soon as you have mortgage questions and when your clients need to be Pre-Approved!

P.S. SILVER LINING That same guideline change now allows borrowers that had a foreclosure included in a BK to buy after 4 years instead of waiting 7 years. Let me know if you have buyers that may be in this situation."

Which is better Zillow's Zestimate OR Real Estate Agent's CMA?

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:20:28 GMT

Zillow's Zestimates are known for their inaccurate quotes. The problem is zillow gets data fed to it by other sites like MLS, tax records, assessors, government sites, etc. However receiving second hand data causes a time delay in increased or decrease values if it calculates it at all. If a property never reflects that it sold on Zillow then the Zestimate will not calculate that new value.

The best way to get a homes value is to contact a few agents and have them prepare you a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). It is free and it will reflect the most recent sales. The agents can also look and see what properties are in contingent and pending status meaning they are in escrow. Often times the agent can contact those listing agents as well to find out a ballpark value as to where those properties will close. This helps predict which direction the neighborhood values are moving in.

I recommend using an agent to get you the homes value as well as if you want to do a home search. A ton of homes on Zillow and other similar sites are listed as available for sale but are not. In fact there are some that have close 6 months ago that are still listed as available. You can get set up on a direct feed from the MLS through your agent and they will send you homes that only match your criteria the second they become available. This data remains first hand data straight from the source and this data is up to date because agents will get fined by NAR if their data is left inaccurate. Zillow and other similar sites are not held to this standard.

Most consumers are unaware of all of these factors. To top it all off the seller pays the agents commissions so if you are a buyer you get professional representation and accurate/timely data for free (sorry seller's but you pay the fees).

I hope this is helpful.

"...Along with ultra-low FHA mortgage rates which rival those from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, FHA loans are attractive because they offer a minimum downpayment requirement of just 3.5 percent -- the lowest of all widely-available loan programs.And now, a new Federal Housing Administration program -- the Homeowners Armed with Knowledge program -- is expected to add to the program's allure.

Via FHA HAWK, first-time home buyers will get access to reduced mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) at closing and, after 18 months of payments, will earn an MIP reduction which lasts the life of their loan...."
