Reverse Mortgage, When?

Reverse Mortgage, When?

While a reverse mortgage is not the perfect fit for all senior homeowners, when it is the process and financial security are well worth it. During the past year I have been working with several families that we're interested in getting a reverse mortgage, but would never commit to the process. Either they were getting comfortable with me as their broker or educating themselves about the loan. The one problem was their home values were falling during this time, some had appraisals done and were happy with the amount of money they would receive, but decided to wait. Unfortunately for the seniors the reverse mortgage was no longer desirable option because their home values had fallen to a point to where the seniors were bringing money to the close, instead of receiving money. Seniors should be aware that the FHA appraisal that they receive today only last six months, and with the current real estate situation, property values look to be heading lower.

Seniors need to be educated and reminded on how their home value may dictate when a reverse mortgage may be attainable.

An example of this situation happened to the Parker family, where in early 2008 Mrs.Parker had an appraisal done on their home in Florida. Mrs Parker wanted to go through with the loan, but Mr.Parker was apprehensive and wanted to explore other options at the time. We kept in constant contact with the family and informed them that the FHA appraisal would only be valid for 6 months. They kept saying they understood this but by the time Mr. Parker agreed that a reverse mortgage was the best option, it was after the 6 month period. When they got their home re-appraised the Parker's home no longer appraised at a value that made the loan attractive. If they had obtained the loan on the previous appraisal they would have pocketed substantial funds, where as if they obtained the loan with the latter appraisal it would have cost them money to close on the loan.

This unfortunate event happened to more than just a few of my clients recently, where they simply waited too long to complete the loan. In some situations, what looked to be a smart financial decision in early to mid 2008 could have possibly turned into a financial disaster if the client decided to go ahead and complete the loan in the later part of the year. Homes simply were not appraising for the same value they did just months earlier! This caused the loan to not be a viable option any longer. These unfortunate situations have caused me to make even more of an effort to educate seniors and their families on how their Loan to Value comes into play in a declining housing market where homes are losing value at an alarming rate. Our clients are encouraged to get the appraisal on their home done and consider all the facts before making a decision to obtain a reverse mortgage. Unfortunately, due to the rapid decline in home values, timely decisions are very important. In certain situations if the senior waits too long they may not have the option of doing the loan at all.

Purchase Panama Real Estate - You Won't Regret it

Purchase Panama Real Estate - You Won't Regret it

Purchasing real estate in Panama can be a profitable, satisfying experience. The country is far more advanced than Costa Rica, but real estate prices (in general) are far lower. Foreigners have the same property rights as Panamanian citizens, and if you purchase your real estate through a corporation (very easy to set up) you will be exempt from property taxes for 20 years.

However, you need to be very careful when buying property through a real estate agent. Fraud is rampant throughout Panama, and little is being done to stop it. In 1999 the Real estate Technical Board (Junta Technica de Bienes Raices) of the Republic of Panama was formed. Supposedly this government agency has the power to consider complaints arising from any real estate transaction, and to impose any sanctions that are deemed necessary. This includes anything from a reprimand up to a revocation of an real estate agent's license, so they can no longer sell property in Panama. This all looks good on paper, but in fact the Board has proven to be almost completely impotent in stopping real estate fraud in Panama.

Case in point: my first real estate property purchase in Panama was done through a company called Great Land Panama. The owner of the company, Khadine Smith, defrauded me out of thousands of dollars when she charged a 30% commission. She then turned around and stole $20,000 from the landowner, by not paying him the price that was in his contract.

I had to talk with five attorneys before I could even find one who knew how to file a formal complaint with the Real estate Board. The complaint was filed in May of '08, after which I heard nothing for more than six months. Finally in Dec '08 I was able to get in touch with a senior official on the Board. He informed me that this particular Panama real estate agent had four other complaints against her, involving millions of dollars. The Board had not yet investigated any of these complaints, but he assured me that they would "get around to it very soon." Bottom line - she is still out there ripping off unsuspecting foreigners, and will probably continue doing so for the foreseeable future.

So what is one to do? It's fairly simple; make sure that you either work directly with the landowner or with a foreigner who is already developing a project, with no intermediaries. I personally know several "gringos" in my area of the Azuero Peninsula who are working on various projects, and none of them used an agent for their real estate property purchase. If you don't speak Spanish I can help you with translation services, as well as guiding you through the entire process of purchasing property and real estate in Panama. Feel free to contact me at www.thePanamacollection.com, and I would be happy to help you in any way I can.

Real estate in Argentina

Real estate in Argentina

by Rick Ballester


Buenos Aires is a vibrant city, which has a sophisticated, genteel Latin flair… but is cosmopolitan like New York or Paris. Large boulevards, expansive parks and plazas, tall trees… it's a walking city with an aristocratic European feel. Here people use all the community green space. Stroll through a park, and you'll see people reading, picnicking, talking… and even dancing the tango. Buying real estate in Argentina has become an excellent way to invest in real estate abroad. Some of the recent benefits include the increasing cash flow from renting the property, low expenditures on the property, and low real estate taxes. In a recent article "Real Emerging Property Markets are to be Found in South America," in Property Wire August 2008, the analysis of South American real estate suggests that while the United States and European property markets are depressed, there are still many opportunities to make money in emerging markets. South America has many such emerging markets, specifically Argentina. The article sites Argentina as one of the best places in the world to live right now and argues that the nation's trade and government surpluses are a draw for Europeans. Argentina has beaches, ski centers, mountains, and vast, open tracts of land for visitors and potential investors to enjoy. Property prices have risen 50% since 2002 and tourism has grown 10% every year since then as well. There is high demand for rental properties and buy-to-let property owners make rental income of up to 6% of the original purchase price in Buenos Aires's popular neighborhoods. An article from the New York Times July 2008 entitled, "For Sale…in Buenos Aires," The reason that Argentina is a cheaper option can, in many ways, be attributed to the crash in 2001. While the nation has been recovering rapidly from its crash, growth has slowed somewhat in the last two years and prices are still much cheaper than in the US or Europe (3 pesos to 1 dollar). With tourism expected to grow to 10 million by 2010 the demand for hotels, one and two bedroom apartments and hostels will no doubt continue to make buying and renting real esate in buenos aires a great investment. Americans are coming in droves and so moving the market in particular areas such as Palermo and Recoleta. The most poplular options are one and two bedroom apartments. MSN travel section lists Argentina as still the best deal in which to buy property in South America.

Ask Your Real Estate Agent These Questions

Ask Your Real Estate Agent These Questions

A real estate agent is a person licensed by a state to represent a buyer or seller in a real estate transaction in exchange for a commission. They work in association with a real estate broker or a brokerage company. Smart customers always want an agent who will help and guide them to find a suitable home that meets their needs and can get them through closing without any hassle. On the other hand, a good real estate agent should know how to counsel you, how to give answers to your queries to better serve you. Therefore, interviewing a potential real estate agent is a sensible idea before deciding on him/her.

There are certain key issues you should discuss with your agent before considering.

How much experience do you have in this business -This does not mean that new agents are not valuable. What matters most is their training. In fact, freshly licensed agents have more time for you to concentrate.

What will be your strategy for my needs-Buyers should expect their agent to have a plan to help them find their right house within a stipulated period. They expect their agent to have good information about each property and every thing related to it like professionals who will be helpful in inspection and financing. Sellers, on the other hand, expect their agents to sell their house in a good price.

Can you provide any references-Before deciding on any agent, you must ask to provide references. Even new agents have references from the previous employers.

Do you have enough time to devote for me-If the agent is working with several buyers at a time, it will be difficult for him/her to devote much time for you. The success of your transaction depends on regular communication.

How will you help me getting other professionals-Your agent should be able to provide professionals like mortgage brokers, lenders, and home inspectors.

What will be your price-Generally, real estate agents charge a percentage from either the seller or buyer, they represent. A listing agent may charge more.

What happens if I am not satisfied with your services-If, after a certain period, I realise you are not good enough for my needs, will you cancel the agreement? What is your company’s policy about cancelled agreements?

Last, but not the least, why you think I am going to choose you-A good agent will not hesitate to answer this. Most customers want their agents to be good communicators, honest, punctual and friendly.

Once you have found the right real estate agent to represent you, help him get you the best deal.
