1.) The mortgage business is very volatile now and a lot of
alternate programs are gone. Can I still buy a home?
-Remember that buying is a better idea than renting. Yes, many of the rather irresponsible
loan programs have been stopped. The good FHA and SONYMA loans are alive and well. They
require more documentation than the higher interest loans. We give buyers three years to
qualify so they don't need to get the sub-prime loans. So, it is more important now to work
on your credit profile immediately after moving in. Waiting until the last year was okay in the
past. Today, it will require earlier attention and discipline. These are beneficial steps
anyway, so we like the new environment better. 2.) My credit has been damaged by bankruptcy. How can I buy a
house?
- Our Rent to Own program does not require a credit check. Your down
payment and income qualifies you. Once you are in your house, we can
refer you to a mortgage broker who will help you improve your score.
3.) I want to paint, add an extra room and buy a pool! Can we do
that?
- We assume you are going to buy the house, not rent it. You are
encouraged to customize and personalize. This increased value will
benefit you alone. The price we set will not change.
4.) Can we have pets?
- Although our objective is to remain in the background as much as
possible we do require a $500.00 option deposit for dogs which will be
added to your equity when you go to the bank for financing. Pets
must be licensed and our rent to own program does not allow aggressive
pets with a record of attacking.
5.) I don't have 10-20% down payment. How can we buy a house?
- Our down payments are around 4%, and each month we add your earned
monthly credit to your
down payment. We expect you to remain in our program until your credit
or income improves to the point where you qualify for an FHA 3% down
payment loan. We will refer you to a lender who can give you advice, and
a plan for your future mortgage.
6.) What if I am transferred out of state before I get a bank loan?
- You can sell the house at a price above the price we set when you
moved in. The new buyers will pay you the difference.
7.) Who pays the school, county and village taxes?
- Easy to Own Homes Inc. pays the taxes, it is included in your
monthly payment.
8.) Who pays the insurance?
- Easy to Own Homes Inc has a policy to cover the structure. Just like
the taxes, insurance is included in your payment. Your renters policy ($10-$15 per month)
will cover your contents in
the home.
9.) I'm interested in the program. What do I need to do?
- Drive by any of our properties in your area. If you want to see the
interior, have the required down payment and are ready to move, call us
at 458-7047. Our properties sell very quickly, so call
us right away. The down payment and prorated monthly payment and proof
of income qualifies
you. There are no closing costs.
10.) What do I bring with me when I sign paperwork?
- The process is easy and fast. Just bring the required funds in a
cashier's check, copy of your most recent pay stub, copy of your license
or other photo ID, a copy of your Social Security Card, and proof of
renters insurance.
11.) What if you don't have a house in my area?
- Fill out our information sheet and we'll call you if a future house meets
your needs. We will email you with new properties.
12.) What if we can't get a bank loan by the end of our 3-5 year
option period?
-As long as you have treated the house as an owner, and followed our
program guidelines, we will renegotiate the terms and keep you in the
house.
13.) My friend is selling his house? Do you buy?
- We will pay you $300 if we buy an unlisted house for our program that you referred to us.
14.) What is Seller Assisted Financing?
- Buyers whose credit is almost ready for bank approval may need our
help financing some of their down payment. In this case, one of
our mortgage lenders would approve you for a loan with a high down
payment and we would hold a second mortgage so you have very little
money out of pocket. During this approval process you may be
living in the home already.
15.) I'm a first time homebuyer. Can you help?
- Most of our buyers are new to the home buying process. We will teach
you about financing at one of our educational seminars.
