Halloween Decorating and Marketing Tips For Selling Your House

October 12, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Planning to deck your house out with ghosts and skeletons and every last one of the pumpkins and gourds in your supermarket’s produce department? If you’re also planning to sell your home, you might want to rethink that strategy.

There are mixed opinions on how much to decorate for Halloween—or if you should at all—when selling your home. Can it actually help you sell a home if you turn the holiday into a marketing opportunity? Possibly. We took the temperate of the industry for some guidance.

When should you put up your decorations?

You may want to keep an eye on your neighbors for this one. If you’re the first house on the block to decorate, your home may stand out for the wrong reasons. If you’re still worried that your Halloween décor may distract from the home, follow Mass Realty’s advice. “Overall, you won’t want to put up spooky Halloween decorations until the night of Halloween and make sure to take them down the next morning,” they said. “Instead, it’s alright to put up seasonal decorations, such as pumpkins, bright leaves, or colorful corn cobs. That way, no one gets offended and you can keep them up for weeks to feel the spirit of the season.”

Should you continue your annual spooky theme?

You may be known for your elaborate displays that have a different theme (Friday the 13th, Carrie) each year, but perhaps it’s best to forgo that when trying to sell your home. “If Halloween is your holiday, it is best to take a break this year,” said Shorewest Realtors. “Over decorating will hide your home and turn off potential buyers. Instead think of how you will decorate your new home!”

If you do want to add some Halloween-specific decorations, use common sense. “Experts say keep Halloween decorations neutral,” said Lyst House. “So what Halloween decorations should you avoid? Well for starters…clowns, dead children, blood and gore, and rotten pumpkins.”

Time your listing photos right

Be careful with your listing photos if you do decorate for Halloween. If your home is still for sale come Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s and even Valentine’s Day, your photos will look extremely dated. This will likely turn off buyers, who may wonder what’s wrong with you home because it’s been on the market a while. A good tip is to use spring photos, if possible, said Fortune Builders. “If you can, try to take property photos when the sun is shining and you can take advantage of all the great natural light that spring has to offer. It will help your property stand out in a cold (and gloomy) market.”

Don’t miss a marketing opportunity

“If you must decorate for the holiday, hold a Halloween open house to attract buyers with children or those young at heart,” said Mass Realty. “Set the date for the weekend before the spooky holiday to bring in more potential buyers. Offer homemade cookies and a $10 gift certificate to an ice cream shop for the adult with the best costume who registers at the door. Take photos to compare costumes after the open house. Have your real estate agent contact the winner to pick up the prize, giving the agent time to discuss the home with all who registered.”

Turn it into a party

We love this idea from Opendoor, who threw Halloween Open Houses in three Arizona cities on Halloween night last year. “We greeted trick-or-treaters at three Opendoor houses in Glendale, Gilbert, and in North Central Phoenix,” they said. “We gave out more than 1,000 candy bars…as well as other tasty treats. We had games and activities for the whole family, including a fun real estate trivia game. The big hit, though, was the haunted GIF photo booth to capture the fabulous costumes of our visitors—we had lines at every house! The event was a huge success. We saw more than 1,200 guests across all three homes and, more importantly, we brought our neighbors across the valley together on Halloween night.”

Old House Renovation: Making Those Hard Repair-or-Replace Decisions

September 24, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

When you’re planning (or in the middle of) a whole house remodel there are always questions about what to keep and what to do away with. Sometimes those questions are about big things, such as hallways, bedrooms or walls. Other times they’re about more particular items, such as doorknobs, trimwork or old wooden windows.

No matter what type of item, the question is usually a challenging one because there often is no “right answer.” If this sounds like a question you might have to tackle in your future, maybe I can help you be more prepared.

Always Lean Toward Restoration

The first step in making the decision of “restore vs. replace” is one of mindset. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a home with a contractor, tradesman or even homeowner who just thinks everything that’s not brand new needs to find its way to the dumpster! That’s the wrong mindset in my opinion. Replacing something just for the sake of replacing it is wasteful at best. In the case of something really special like the wavy glass in my kitchen windows it can be downright tragic.

So the first thing you want to do is to adopt a “restore over replace” attitude. Whenever an item is being considered, your first thought regarding restoration should be “how can we?” By looking at things with this mindset you’ll find yourself thinking creatively and seeing solutions that lead to restoration. In the long run, this kind of mindset is key to creating a beautiful project that has the unmatched depth of character that can only be achieved through restoration.

Pay Attention to Unique Details

In the restoration of an older home, there are those older elements that are unique and unlike brand new homes, and then there are those items that are essentially the same today as they were yesterday.

When it comes to decorative building elements, the saying, “They just don’t make them like they used to,” is often true.

Walls are a good example of something that isn’t “usually” that different in a brand new home as compared to a 300-year-old home. Sure, there are exceptions, but I’m talking about smooth interior painted walls. Restoration of an old plaster wall in a bedroom might cost five times as much as just replacing that same wall with drywall and the end result may look nearly identical.

A solid wood interior door, on the other hand, may be the opposite situation. The existing home might have solid doors made of a hardwood you just can’t buy anymore. If you look closely, those old doors might have a particular profile on the trim or the panels. Even if you can get a similarly designed door, the chances of replacing that detail are slim. When it comes to decorative building elements, the saying, “They just don’t make them like they used to,” is often true.

I Just Love It

I was talking with some fixer-upper owners one day in their home when the homeowners and I started talking about an archway between two rooms. I mentioned how unique and interesting that archway was and the wife said, “I just love that arch, but I know it has to come out.” When I inquired further, I found that two other contractors had told her the arch had to go to accomplish the other objectives of the project. I helped them find a solution that saved the arch.

Whenever there is any element of your home, no matter how tiny or how big, that inspires you to use the words “I just love that,” my advice is to work very hard toward restoring that item rather than replacing during your whole-house remodel. Even if it’s difficult or something else has to be sacrificed. Those “love it” items are what makes the house yourhome.

Cost is Always a Factor

The last factor, of course, is cost. Sometimes restoration of an item is less costly than replacement; other times it’s far less expensive to replace than to restore. When you’re attempting a major project like a whole-house remodel, sometimes it can just come down to money. What makes the most financial sense in the long run?

Options Are Good

The great thing about this question is that it reveals the fact that there are options. You’re not forced to go one way or another and you shouldn’t listen to people who try to take those options away.

Restore when you can, replace when you have to … and enjoy the process either way!

Ready For Staging: 4 Repairs You Need Before Selling Your Home

September 10, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

 

Selling your home is a complex process that may take weeks to complete. This is partially because your house may need to be updated or renovated before it can go on the market. What are some of the most crucial fixes that you should make before listing your property?

Update the Exterior

The first thing that you will want to do is make sure that the home’s exterior is in good condition. This may involve landscaping work such as removing trees or shrubs that are dead or dying. It may also involve inspecting the roof, siding or other exterior components that may need to be repaired or updated to make the house easier to sell. At the very least, a fresh coat of paint should be applied before putting the house on the open market.

Check the Air Conditioning

If you have a central air conditioning unit in your home, make sure that it works properly. This means that it should start easily and produce an even amount of cool air throughout the house.

Ideally, you will have it inspected once a year by someone like Doctor Fix-It. However, inspecting it and making repairs prior to selling your home should be considered mandatory. It may also be a good idea to check the furnace and clean the ducts before you show the home to buyers.

Make Sure the Floors Are Adequate

Whether your home has wood floors or carpet, make sure that they are in good condition. If necessary, wax and clean the wood or put down new carpet in areas where it may be frayed or dirty. If you are going to replace your carpet, make sure that it is the same color and style throughout a given space.

Check the Plumbing and Electrical Systems

Buyers aren’t going to want to put an offer on a home that has poor water pressure. They are also unlikely to want to make an offer on a home that has dangerous electrical wiring. If the fixes to either system are relatively minor, you can do them yourself. However, it may also be a good idea to call a professional to make sure that the job is done safely.

Selling your home can be a great way to help you downsize or lock in profits. However, if the process is not done right, it could reduce the sale price of the home or result in the home staying on the market longer than you anticipated that it would.

Eight Things You Need To Know Before Buying Your First Investment Property

August 28, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

 

Although there are numerous examples of people who have earned themselves a fortune with real estate investment, real estate, like every other business, has many risks associated with it. Moreover, regardless of the type of property you are purchasing or whether you plan to rent or resell it afterward, investing in real estate requires a good amount of cash — which makes it critical to take extra measures to ensure profit on your investment or at least save yourself from a huge loss.

I’ve observed a shortage of property in good areas over the past few months. This lack of property creates an excellent opportunity for investment. However, it doesn’t mean that anybody can earn a fortunate by investing in real estate. You need to know a lot of things before buying your first investment property.

1. Don’t let your emotions play with you.

Most of the time when buying a home, people listen to their heart more than actually thinking about it logically, which is perfectly fine when it is the place where you will be living for many years of your life. But don’t let your emotions affect your decision when buying your first investment property. Think of it as purely a business investment and logically negotiate to get the best possible price.

Remember, the lower the price you get for a property, the better the odds that you will earn a higher profit from it.

2. Do your research.

Depending on the clients you are targeting, you need to do proper research before buying your first investment property. Make sure that the property is situated in a location that will attract the type of clients you hope to sell or rent to, that it will reach to the returns you are expecting and that it will appeal to the market.

Doing the proper researching and using an analytical approach logically based on the financial factors, rather than considering your personal likes and dislikes, will surely help you in purchasing the best property. After all, investment isn’t about emotions; it’s about economics.

3. Secure a down payment.

Unlike the 3% down payment on the house you are currently living in, you are going to require at least 20% down payment for buying your first investment property. This is because mortgage insurance is not applicable for investment properties. Moreover, investment properties require greater down payments than your regular building and have strict approval requirements. Keep in mind the expenses needed for the renovation before you pay your down payment.

4. Calculate expenses and profits beforehand.

As the expression goes, only the paranoid survive. OK, not always, but there is no harm in being a little paranoid and considering every detail beforehand. Start with calculating the money that you already have and what you can borrow before buying your first investment property. Next, calculate how much it would cost to purchase and renovate the house. Also, keep in mind the operation costs. Finally, estimate the price you are going to list your property for and cut out the expenses to get a rough estimate of the profit you stand to make. Honestly speaking, you may not even hit half of the estimated profit, but this calculation is necessary to keep yourself in the safe zone.

5. Select a low-cost home as your first investment property.

Even if you are ready to invest up to a million dollars in your first investment property, it is always a good idea to go for properties that lie in the lower- to mid-range price brackets. Some experts suggest the house that doesn’t cost you more than $150,000. Don’t forget, you will need to spend more money on the renovation of the house before renting or selling it.

Furthermore, since it is your first investment property, keeping your investment as low as possible will help you stay in the safe zone. Even if you don’t hit the expected profits, you won’t risk losing too much on it.

6. Pay your debts.

As a new investor buying their first investment property, you might need to consider the investment loan options — one shouldn’t be carrying debts as their investment portfolio. You must clear all of your debts, student loans, medical bills, etc., before starting out in real estate.

7. Consider investment loan options.

There are a large number of options available when it comes to collecting funds to purchase your first investment property. Choosing the right option that could make a positive difference to your financial situation requires a lot of research.

Different investment loan options come with different benefits, and the best possible option depends on your situation. However, you need to consider features such as which loan option is giving you the freedom to split the credit or if it provides you with the line-of-credit facility.

8. Choose your partners carefully.

Many people consider partnering up with their friends instead of talking an investment loan to start in the real estate business. First-time investors need to carefully consider many factors while choosing partners, such as how comfortable you are with them and the implications of a partnership agreement.

Like every other business, investing in real estate can go either way: You could earn a good chunk of money, or it might turn into a disastrous experience. If you follow smart tips and play it safe from the start, you will surely be on the winning side.

Can You Use Bonus Income to Help Qualify for a Home Loan?

July 2, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Yes, you can. But the bonus income needs to follow a few rules, first. Employees get paid in different ways. The most common is a regular paycheck on the 1st and the 15th of each month or maybe every other week. One of the primary responsibilities of a mortgage lender when evaluating a loan application is to make the determination the borrowers have the ability to repay the new mortgage along with any existing monthly credit obligations. The process is relatively simple. The lender compares total monthly credit obligations with gross monthly income. When calculating the mortgage payment, which includes an amount for taxes and insurance, lenders like to see this amount be somewhere near 28-33 percent of gross monthly income and closer to 41 percent when including all monthly payments.

Lenders then verify income by reviewing the most recent paycheck stubs covering a 30 day period. The stubs will show the gross income, deductions and net pay. It will also show a year-to-date amount. In addition, copies of your last two years of W2 forms will be needed. Lending guidelines require there be at least a two-year history of employment and then make the determination the income is likely to continue into the future. If someone is self-employed, then the last two years of personal and business income tax returns will be reviewed along with a year-to-date profit and loss statement.

Okay, but what about a bonus? Can that be used if needed? Guidelines for bonus income follow the same type of review as other types of income. Is there a history of receiving bonus income? There needs to be verification the bonus income has been received for two years. In addition, the bonus income needs to be regular and of a similar amount each time. Let’s say an employee gets a bonus each quarter for reaching a particular goal. The bonus amount is $1,000. The lender will need verification this amount has been received for the past two years. With this history, the lender can reasonably determine the bonus is likely to continue. Using this example, there is an additional $333 per month that can help the borrowers qualify.

If on the other hand, the bonus amounts vary in amount or frequency, it’s possible the income cannot be used, even though there is evidence the employee has received it. Or, the bonus might be an annual bonus paid at the first of every year. In this instance, the additional income can’t help, even though it’s been the same for the past two years. Why? Because a bonus paid in January probably might not be around come August or September.

One final note about bonus income- if more than 25 percent of the individual’s income comes from a bonus or as a commission, that person is then considered self-employed and will be underwritten as such. If you’re planning on using your bonus income to help qualify, it’s a good idea to speak with your loan officer first to see how you’ll need to document this additional income.

How much house can I afford to buy?

June 26, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

If you’re thinking of making the move from renter to homeowner, simply diving into home shopping is the wrong first step. What you need to do is first answer the question:

“How much house can I afford?”

The best way to determine your spending ability is to do a step-by-step calculation. While there are alternate rules of thumb for figuring out your housing budget — such as a ceiling of 2.5 times your annual salary or limiting your housing payments to a third of your gross monthly income — you should not take shortcuts on a financial decision as important as this.

Calculating ‘how much mortgage can I afford?’

Here are the major factors you will need to consider to determine how much house you can afford to buy:

Income. 

First, add up the income that will be used to qualify for the mortgage, including bonuses and commissions. Make sure you have the documentation to prove every source of income; otherwise it cannot be counted when you meet with a mortgage lender.

Debt. 

Add all the payments you make each month for car loans, credit cards, student loans and any other debt. Based on your income, there are limits on how much debt you’ll be allowed to carry, including your mortgage. These debts will limit how much mortgage you can borrow.

DTI ratio.

When a mortgage lender calculates your level of debt based upon how much money you make, it is known as your “debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.” Debt-to-income ratios are the province of mortgage calculators. One important ratio, referred to by mortgage professionals as your “front-end” or “top-end” ratio, is calculated by taking your proposed housing expense divided by your gross (before-tax) income. Many mortgage calculators set 28 percent as the desirable value for this ratio. The other ratio involves all of your loan payments – your housing expenses and your monthly debts (but not utilities or other living expenses) — divided by your gross monthly income. A home affordability calculator frequently set this number at 36 percent. This is called your “back-end” or “bottom-end” ratio.

Monthly obligations.

While your mortgage lender cares about your auto and credit card payments, they really don’t care whether you have cable TV, the latest iPhone or even that you eat on a regular basis. Those monthly expenses are up to you to include, and cable, smartphones and a few trips to the grocery store can easily add up to several hundred dollars each month.

Down payment. 

The minimum down payment for an FHA loan is 3.5 percent; for conventional loans, the minimum is 3 percent for certain buyers and 5 percent for most buyers.

Taxes.

Today, it’s easy to get an idea on a home’s property taxes by looking at the listing online. You can also get in contact with the county tax office or ask a local Realtor to investigate for you. Most homeowners will have their property taxes paid from an escrow account attached to their monthly mortgage payments. One percent in taxes is equal to $1,000 per year for a $100,000 home.

Insurance.

Lenders require homeowners insurance to cover your property. Contact an insurance company or ask a Realtor to estimate your homeowners insurance costs which will vary according to the type of property, cost and features of the home, and its location. To get a rough idea, you can ask a family member or friend what they pay for insurance (if their home is similar to the home you are interested in buying).

Homeowners association dues.

If the property you purchase includes monthly dues, don’t forget to include those fees in your monthly payments.

Mortgage insurance.

If you make a down payment of less than 20 percent on a conventional loan, you will need to pay mortgage insurance. You can utilize HSH.com’s mortgage insurance calculator to see how much this could cost each month. For FHA loans, there is an upfront and annual mortgage insurance premium.

Interest rate.

You can check today’s mortgage rates at HSH.com, but remember that your rate will depend on your credit score, the type of property you are buying, and the choices you make regarding fees and points. A lender will be able to give you a customized mortgage quote given your situation.

Loan term.

While many buyers opt for a 30-year home loan, if you can afford higher monthly payments, you may want to consider a shorter loan term. Shorter loans have lower interest rates and cost you less over the life of the loan.

As a homeowner, you need to have enough money set aside in an emergency fund — at least three months worth of expenses – in case you lose your job or have a medical emergency, and enough reserves set aside to pay for maintenance and unexpected repairs.

Considering all your financial goals and your monthly comfort level with your mortgage payment is the key to accurately calculating how much house you can afford. It’s smart never to borrow the maximum amount you can qualify for so that you leave yourself some financial breathing room.

8 Things to Do Before Applying for a Mortgage

May 4, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Know what to expect

Buying a house is one of the largest financial commitments many people make in their lifetimes. Between the down payment, principal, interest, taxes, and insurance payments, utilities, maintenance, repairs, and updates, the financial outflows can be overwhelming.

A key aspect for most homebuyers is a mortgage — a loan secured by the house that enables the buyer to pay for the cost of the house over time, instead of all at once. It’s a big deal to apply for and get a mortgage, and taking care of these eight items before you do will help you along the way.

1. Determine how much house you need

If your income is decent and your credit score is good, you might find that banks are willing to lend you more money than it takes to buy a house that meets what you really need out of a home. While it’s tempting to buy up to a larger house in a nicer neighborhood, remember that many of the costs — not just the mortgage payment — scale right along with the price of the home you’re buying. Keeping your home buying decision attuned to what you really need will help you keep your total costs in check.

Key factors to consider include:

  •          How many people will be living in the house?
  •          Is the school district a ‘must have’ of a ‘nice to have’?
  •          What does the commute look like to work/grocery stores/etc.?
  •          Is the neighborhood safe?
  •          How much work are you willing to do to update/upgrade/maintain the home?

2. Scrape together a down payment

Most lenders will give you better terms on your mortgage if you have a substantial amount of your own cash tied up in the home you’re buying. Generally speaking, you’ll need at least a 20% down payment to get the best rates and terms on your mortgage. That means that if your house costs $200,000, you’d need to cough up $40,000 of that amount yourself and be able to borrow the other $160,000.

You might be able to get a mortgage if you have a smaller down payment, but chances are that you’d pay a higher interest rate and/or be stuck paying private mortgage insurance on top of your mortgage. Those raise your cost of borrowing over time, which means you’ll end up paying more in the long run than if you had the down payment available.

3. Check your credit report — and clean up any errors

If you’re borrowing a large chunk of money, lenders want to know you’re a good risk before they offer you theirs. To see most of what the lenders see, you’ll want to check your credit report. You can get a free copy of your credit report from each of the major credit bureaus once per year by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com. From that report you can see which companies you owe money to, how much you owe, and whether or not you’re considered to be on time with your payments.

Around 20% of credit reports have errors in them, either because of things like identity theft or because of more mundane clerical errors in data entry. If you see errors in your reports, the bureaus have a process to allow you to challenge those errors to get them corrected. By correcting errors before you apply for your mortgage, you improve both your chances of getting that mortgage and getting good terms on it.

4. Pay off what you can, and get current on everything else

In addition to wanting to see that you have a good history of managing your debts, mortgage lenders want to make sure you’re not over-extending yourself by taking on that large of a debt. They will calculate ratios based on how much you currently pay towards debt service and how much in total you will pay towards debt service once you have your mortgage.

Generally speaking, you’ll need to be putting less than 36% of your income towards debt service before considering your mortgage. Once your mortgage is factored in, you’ll absolutely need to keep that ratio below 43% of your income to have a qualified mortgage.

If that sounds like a crazy high percentage of your income to be putting towards debt, you’re absolutely right. The less you owe, the easier it is for you to make your payments on time and in full, and the more flexibility you have when things go wrong. By getting your other debts under control first, the less risk you’ll pose to the lender, and the better the overall deal you’ll qualify for.

5. Document your income — and the source of your down payment

Your lender will want to see proof that you make enough money to cover your mortgage payment as well as proof that youcame up with the money for your down payment. Proof of income comes in the form of your W-2 or 1099 from work or investment income that you use to file your taxes. A recent paystub would also help showcase that you’re still earning the income you’re claiming as part of your ability to pay your mortgage.

Proof of down payment money comes from checking account, savings account, and brokerage account statements, along with explanations for any large deposits into those accounts in recent months. The lender is looking for evidence that the money you’re using to make your down payment is yours, and they prefer “seasoned” money over recent windfalls.

Seasoned money is money that you’ve saved up over time, and it’s preferable because it gives the lender confidence that you’re good with money. If the lender suspects your down payment money is a gift or loan from family members — because it’s a recent deposit of a lot of money — the lender will ask for documentation on where that money came from. If the lender isn’t satisfied with the explanation, it could jeopardize your ability to get favorable rates or the mortgage at all.

6. Figure out what mortgage terms you want

The key choices you’ll make are the length of the mortgage and the rate type of the mortgage. The most common length for a mortgage is 30 years, followed by 15 years, but several other lengths are also possible. As a general rule, the shorter the length of the mortgage, the lower the interest rate you’ll pay on it, but the higher your monthly payments will be because you’re paying the balance down that much faster.

You can also choose between fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages. With a fixed rate mortgage, your interest rate and the principal and interest part of your payment never move throughout the life of your mortgage. With an adjustable rate mortgage, your interest rate resets every year — sometimes after a preset number of introductory years at a steady rate. With an adjustable rate mortgage, you take on the risk of rising interest rates, but the benefit is typically a lower starting rate than a fixed rate loan has.

7. Avoid taking on any new debts around the time of your mortgage

If you’re buying a house, you’ll typically have a lot of expenses above and beyond the house payment. Things like renovating, buying new furniture, moving, fixing up your old place, and so on all require money. Avoid the temptation to borrow money for any of those items — or anything else — between the time you start shopping for a house and the time you close on your mortgage.

That can be trickier than it sounds. Even if the merchant offers you deferred payments like “no payments for 90 days” or interest free financing, it still counts as a loan and shows up on your credit report. If your lender sees you taking on excessive borrowing capacity before your mortgage is issued, it will react in a way that protects its interests. That likely means either cancelling your mortgage altogether or reducing the amount you can borrow based on your credit no longer being as strong as it had been previously.

8. Research lenders before applying for your loan

The act of applying for credit — whether or not you’re approved for that credit and regardless of whether you accept that credit — causes an inquiry on your credit report. That inquiry will typically lower your credit score by a few points. If your credit is borderline, the impact to your credit score can be enough to knock you into a higher risk tier or out of contention for a mortgage altogether.

As a result, you’ll want to check around to see which select group of lenders you want to do business with before filling out the mortgage application. Banks and credit unions frequently post their current mortgage rates online, and other mortgage lenders often advertise on real estate listing or similar sites. By researching lenders in advance and limiting your applications, you reduce your credit inquiries and the cost and hassle of applying for your mortgage.

A home is a big commitment — so plan for it

Your home may very well be the largest financial commitment you’ll make in your lifetime. By planning well for the financing associated with it, you can minimize the costs of ownership and put more of your hard earned cash towards what really counts, rather than towards fees, interest, and overhead costs. And that will go a long way towards allowing you to enjoy your home — and the mortgage burning party you might want to throw once you’ve paid it off.

When You Want To Renovate Everything, How Do You Choose What To Do First?

April 29, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

New fence. Covered patio. Expanded bathroom. Painted kitchen cabinets. They all cost about $3,000 (give or take a couple bucks). So when you want to renovate everything, how do you chose? What comes first, and what shouldn’t you bother with at all? It’s all so confusing.

That’s the conundrum many people face when they go to renovate, or they’re simply trying to make a plan of action that doesn’t include having to sell their house because they’ve gone broke fixing it up. Moving forward can be tricky, and the renovation process can be anxiety-producing. Taking the time to properly research, set your budget, and determine the return on investment of individual projects – if that’s even important to you – are the keys to success. Follow these tips before you swing that hammer.

Ask yourself why you’re doing it

“It is vital that you know the objective of the renovation before you start as this will help you keep on track and make the appropriate decisions once the work has started,” said Your Investment Property. “The objective may be any one of the following: increase rental return; improve capital value; own enjoyment; keep up with the next door neighbors; provide an income when property is flipped (ie: purchased, renovated and then sold in a short period of time); or something else that is important to you.”

Prioritize

This one can be hard when what you really want is a top-to-bottom overhaul, and it may require you to have a few tough conversations with yourself. You may love the idea of a covered patio, but will you get real use out of it? If you’re a person who doesn’t much like to go outside (or if the covered patio would only be the beginning of the expense because you’ll now need to add an outdoor fan and a heater and drapes and mosquito netting and new outdoor furniture and a waterproof television once you have the patio cover), perhaps your dollars are better spent elsewhere. When you have limited funds, taking care of renovations on items that are more frequently used, or that you can at least look at and appreciate on a more regular basis, might be a better bet.

Consider your budget

About that budget…some renovations obviously cost more than others. And some might be more important to you than others. Some of us have instant gratification issues (umm, guilty!). Perhaps it would be best to knock out a few small items that will make you feel good about your progress. Or, perhaps what you really need is a couple months of serious money-saving so you can put in those countertops you’ve been dreaming of.

Ask around

You might be able to slash your hard costs by finding a skilled handyman to do your flooring installation instead of going with a flooring company. Or, you may be able to take advantage of a special from a big box store that cuts down on costs, like free carpet installation at Home Depot – a special they are currently offering. Signing up for daily emails from Home Depot and Lowes is another way to take advantage of limited-time specials that can save you money. Both have “Daily Deals” they send out in their emails, which are good for that day (and until they’re all sold out) only.

Consider the ROI

If you can’t rule out one or the other based on how much use you think you’ll get from the areas you’re looking to renovate, look at the potential value. One might provide a much better return on investment than the other. The Cost vs. Value Report, which “compares average cost for 21 popular remodeling projects in 149 markets with the value those projects retain at resale in 100 U.S. markets,” is our Bible when it comes to determining ROI.

Assess Your House

You might have a lot of “wants” related to renovating, like updating your master bath and re-facing your fireplace. But there may be more pressing issues that need to be addressed before you get to the pretty stuff. “Hire a licensed home inspector to check your house from top to bottom,” said Home Guides. “He’ll climb into the attic to check for dampness, scour the basement looking for leaks, test the heating and air conditioning systems, examine the roof, the plumbing and electrical panels. Evaluate the results before deciding on a plan of action.

Think about everyday costs

New appliances and items like new doors and windows can have a significant upfront cost, but they will save you money on a regular basis because they’re energy-efficient.

Here are 3 ways parents can help their grown kids to own a house

April 21, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

When responsible first-time homebuyers need help buying a home, the family bank sometimes can lend a hand.

Younger homebuyers face a mountain of obstacles, including rising home prices and interest rates, too few homes for sale and unpaid college debt. Student debt is a major source of trouble. When the National Association of Realtors surveyed recent homebuyers who had problems saving up a down payment, 53 percent of those in the youngest group (37 and younger) blamed student loan debt for their difficulty.

Families appear to be pitching in to help, according to the results of that survey in the 2018 NAR Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends Report. Among homebuyers who made a down payment, 23 percent of those 37 and younger used a gift and 6 percent a loan from family or friends — the highest proportion for either type of assistance among all age groups.

Family assistance like this works best when the kids qualify for a mortgage on their own and parents make the purchase more affordable with, for example, a bigger down payment or a lower interest rate, says Jeremy Heckman, a certified financial planner with Accredited Investors Wealth Management in Edina, Minnesota.

FIRST, THE GROUND RULES

To create a businesslike distance for these transactions, Heckman suggests that parents:

• Consider disclosing the assistance to all immediate family

• Consider treating all siblings equally

• Use contracts

• Document gifts

Formal agreements offer important benefits, says San Francisco real estate attorney Andy Sirkin. They define obligations and minimize misunderstandings. And if parent lenders die or become incapacitated, all their heirs can view the transaction and its history.

WAYS TO HELP

Here are three ways parents can help make it more affordable for new homebuyers to purchase a home:

1. GIVE MONEY

A gift of money is often best, Heckman says. Parents can write a check for any amount they choose. That’s it — no contract or ongoing commitments. Or they can pay all or part of an expense such as mortgage closing costs. Providing down-payment assistance can help new borrowers avoid paying for private mortgage insurance, which helps keep their monthly payment low.

HOW IT WORKS

Strict rules dictate how cash gifts are used in a home purchase, and they vary by mortgage type, lender and lender offer, says Mark Case, a senior vice president at SunTrust Mortgage.

Lenders like to see money gifts — easily traceable checks, bank transfers or wire transfers — in a borrower’s bank account three or four months before applying for a mortgage, Case says. Givers and recipients may need to sign letters confirming that the money isn’t a loan.

When it comes to taxes, anyone can give any other person a gift up to $15,000 in value (money or, say, stocks) in 2018 without filing the gift-tax return IRS Form 709 . So a parent with two children can give each of them — and even the children’s partners — up to $15,000 this year without having to complete Form 709. A tax professional can confirm how the rules apply to individuals’ specific circumstances.

2. FINANCE THE MORTGAGE

Parents with cash to invest can become the mortgage lender, offering extra-easy terms, like no closing costs or no down payment. Heckman says they can charge a higher rate of interest on their money than it earns in a savings or money market account and still offer kids a lower-than-market mortgage rate.

“I said, ‘This could be a win-win for both of us,’” says Jay Weil, an attorney in Wayne, New Jersey. He and his wife, Judy, have financed two mortgages for their son Matt and Matt’s wife, Allison.

HOW IT WORKS

Jay and Judy fully funded the younger couple’s first home, a Columbia, Maryland, townhouse. They decided to use a service that facilitates family loans. They worked with National Family Mortgage, which charges one-time setup fees of $725 to $2,100, depending on the loan size; provides all necessary forms and documents to meet state, local and IRS requirements; guides families through the settlement and filing process; and connects borrowers with loan servicers.

Then in 2017, the Weils lent the kids money again, for a $579,900 house in Laurel, Maryland. Matt and Allison got two loans. One was a primary mortgage from SunTrust Mortgage for $259,900, at 3.875 percent. His parents provided a second mortgage for $260,000 at 1.98 percent. They used money earned from the sale of their first home to make a down payment.

Family lenders must charge at least the Applicable Federal Rate , the minimum interest rate required to keep the assistance from being considered a gift.

3. CO-BORROW

Although riskier for parents, co-borrowing is another option. Mortgages with co-borrowers were nearly a quarter of all new-purchase mortgages in the third quarter of 2017, according to ATTOM Data Solutions, a real estate data company.

Co-borrowing helps borrowers overcome a limited credit history or a too-high debt-to-income ratio, says Case, of SunTrust Mortgage.

HOW IT WORKS

Parents apply for the mortgage, too. They must meet the lender’s credit requirements and sign loan papers with their kids at closing.

Aside from the mortgage itself, a separate family contract can define expectations and details such as who gets how much equity when the home sells and what happens in case problems arise, says Sirkin, the real estate attorney.

For parents interested in being co-borrowers, there are some things to keep in mind:

• Not all loans allow co-borrowers, so it’s good to confirm the option when shopping for mortgages

• Some lenders may call this step co-signing, which may have different parameters, but the outcome is the same: Parents and children are equally responsible for the loan and any missed mortgage payments

• Parents’ credit could be affected, making it hard to finance another big purchase later, even if children make payments on time

With all the headwinds facing first-time homebuyers, family help sometimes makes all the difference.
