Steps to Acquiring a Loan

Hi Everyone,
   It's October...'nuff Said ! Since I am a Halloween baby, it's my birthday month (please don't ask my age!).

   Not Long ago, we were quoted in an article on the new "Currency" site from American Express, titled, "3 Steps to Getting a Loan", and the article could serve as useful to any of our readers that are interested in procuring a loan.

   The author, Christina Couch, summarizes the 3 steps as, "Stimulate Your Score", "Steady Your Finances", and "Readjust Your Debt Ratio".

Under the "Readjust Your Debt Ratio" step, Couch writes:
"...if you still can't get a traditional loan, you're not out of options. There are other financing opportunities to investigate, like renting with the option to buy. 'Deals like that typically last for 12 to 36 months and require tenants to pay a non-refundable option fee instead of a down payment—and usually, that fee is a lot cheaper,' says Robert Eisenstein, president of HomeRun Homes, a real-estate firm in Lake Ronkonkoma, New York.'There are a lot of creative ways to buy, and a lot of very specific mortgage programs out there, if you don't qualify for traditional loan products,' Eisenstein says. 'You just have to do a little homework.'"

   Head on over to the new American Express "Currency" Site to have a look around at some really great articles (as well as the one mentioned above).

   Next Week (Monday 10/4), the Pending Home Sales Index will be released. These are key figures, so let's monitor them together.

Have a Great Weekend, and Happy Rent-to-Owning !

Short Sales, Press, Housing Numbers - A Recap

Hi All,

   Can you believe that it's already Friday? We are headed into our last few weeks of summer, and from whatever corner of the globe that you are reading this, the summer here in the Northeast has been brutal! Time to polish up the snow shovels...yes, it won't be long !

   Today, we just wanted to recap a very eventful week for HomeRun Homes/Lease2Buy, as well as to take a look ahead at next week.

   Over the past week, we have provided you tips and strategies on the Short Sale Process, provided a free widget that shows all current Ads on our website in "Real Time", and we have humbly received some great write-ups in a new American Express Magazine Article, as well as another write-up in AOL's Patch.com.

   We hope that over the past few days, we have given you some great investing tips, a handy new utility for your website, and have brought multitudes of people to our site to either offer you a Rent to Own Home or to Buy your Rent to Own Home ! In the process, I hope we have also made some new friends and helped many others to meet their goals.

   Next week, we have some additional goodies coming along (Stay tuned to this Blog). Further, there are important numbers coming out next week:

   Tuesday 8/24: NAR Existing Home Sales
   Wednesday 8/25: New Residential Sales & FHFA Quarterly House Price Index
   Friday 8/27: Revised Building Permits

   As you can imagine, these are all key numbers that will give us a sense of where we are headed in terms of the housing market and an economic recovery (recovery? lifeline?).

Have a Great Weekend, and Happy Rent-to-Owning !
