Before we move back into our conversation with Mark McLaurine, I want to share something that Jo Garner, our regular host, shared recently with a business group. Here is some of what Jo said :

“If you are looking at a see-saw with home buyers sitting on one end and home sellers sitting on the other end, the see-saw would have moved to a more even position. From the mortgage desk, I am seeing buyers finding the house they want, getting their offer accepted, and, the seller is willing to pay closing costs for the borrower more often now.”

If you can afford a home, let’s talk about your financing options. We can work with you online or by phone or in person—your preference.

THE BEST HOME MAINTENANCE IS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE!

Ed Hill, Senior Consultant, Masters Roofing Midsouth

How many times have you or I known about a minor home maintenance issue that we brushed off or worse, pretended not to see, that soon became a major home maintenance problem costing us hundreds or thousands of dollars? Too many to count.

Let’s make an action plan today to spot problems when they’re small so that they don’t become big.

  1. Perform a home maintenance inspection of your home regularly

  1. Note possible preventive maintenance issues such as missing shingles,

peeling paint, disconnected HVAC pipes, leaking gutters, continuously running furnaces or AC units, drafty windows, etc.

  1. Make a priority list in order from most urgent to it can wait

  1. Plan action steps to address each problem such as call Mark McLaurine of Refrigeration Unlimited to find the reason why your furnace runs continuously but your home doesn’t warm up or call Ed Hill with Masters Roofing to check the storm damage on the roof to see it is repairable or if the roof needs to be replaced

  1. Find the funding required to make needed repairs or home improvements by calling Jo Garner, Mkrtgage Loan Originator with Cardinal Financial to apply for a cash out refinance to provide the money needed to solve the problems.

After 9:45 AM break 4th segment : REAL ESTATE TIP OF THE WEEK ( Ed and Mark has about 1 min each to share a real estate related money-saving or time-saving tip):

Tip from Jo Garner:(read by Ed or Mark) These are still two of the most common calls I get these days. They sound something like this:

“ Jo, a need a strong mortgage preapproval letter to make an offer to buy a house. I realize the mortgage rates are higher than they were a few months ago. Just help me buy this house. One day if the rates go down, I can refinance. Just help me buy the house today.”

The other common call:

“Jo, we have racked up some credit card debt and owe quite a lot on a home equity line of credit on our house. It is costing us more as the payments go up on these loans. Can we look at refinancing our mortgage to roll in the home equity line and credit card debt? We would like to have all our debt on one fixed-rate loan. “
