47 Skills You Need to Survive Homeownership | This Old House

by

Homeownership survival skillsWhether you have just purchased your Midtown Atlanta Condo or home, or you’ve been a homeowner for years, a home or condo simply does not operate on auto pilot. You need Skills to Survive Homeownership!

Especially if you live in a condo, you often think there is nothing to maintain….that “auto pilot” idea again! Nothing could be further from the truth. Take your dryer duct work as an example. Look at where your dryer is located in your condo. Now, where does the vent exhaust? Certainly someplace on the outside of the building, and it could be your balcony. Those lo-o-o-o-ong dryer vents can eventually get some lint and such built up in them from the dryer. Ever thought about having it cleaned? I thought not.

I found this article at MyOldHouse.com that lists some 47 “skills” you need as a home owner. Now, not all of them are going to apply to a condominium, but most of them will. And some of these skills could help you save some money when you call a professional to fix the problem.

Midtown Atlanta Condo Buyer Tips | What Happens When Repairs Are Not Completed?

by

As part of the Midtown Atlanta Condo buying process, you will have an inspection done. You want to know if there are any issues with systems such as the HVAC, as well as knowing that all appliances are working. Once you determine there are items that need to be fixed, an Amendment to Address Concerns With Property is completed and the repairs are negotiated out.

Sometimes, it may be easier to get a credit off the originally agreed upon Sales Price of the condo. This may be ok, your loan is still in the underwriting process. But let’s say, it’s day of closing (or day before) and you do your final walk through. The repairs have NOT been made….

Do NOT adjust the sales price for last-minute repairs

Condominium Maintenance TipsMost buyers will have a list of desired repairs based on their home inspection report, and the sellers are expected to complete these repairs prior to closing.

On the final walk-through, many buyers will discover that everything on the “punch list” has not been done, and they will want a reduction in the sales price or another type of credit.

Try NOT to adjust the sales price:

1.    Buyers’ loan amount will probably change, especially if it is 80% or more of the sales price (such as FHA), and this could even trigger PMI (private mortgage insurance);

2.    Buyers’ loan must go through underwriting again;

3.    Commissions are reduced if based on a % of the sales price;

4.    Entire contract may need to be re-written.

 

Better ways to handle the credit (always subject to lender approval) for the Midtown Atlanta Condo Buyer:

1.    Increase seller-paid closing costs;

2.    Have sellers provide a home warranty or extend it for an additional year;

3.    Have sellers provide a termite bond (or extend it);

4.    Have sellers waive reimbursements of prorated property taxes or HOA assessments;

5.    Have sellers pay for the HOA letter (if not already paying).

This yet another point and time in the home buying process when you want to have a great lender working with you to make sure there are no last minute hangups with things like this!

 

Buyer Tips For Midtown Atlanta Real Estate

by

Buyers Agent for Midtown Atlanta CondosCONGRATULATIONS!

You’ve made the decision to become a home owner! Believe me….I know the anxiety and the emotions you are feeling. Not only have I purchased and sold several of my own homes, but I work daily with people just like you! I’m here to help you every step of the way.

These Buyer Tips For Midtown Atlanta Real Estate are about some of the steps you should take to protect yourself during the home buying process. These steps are not really about the process, but just some things to keep in mind as you purchase your home or condominium. You can learn more about the buying process by reviewing and reading our Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyer’s Guide. 

Reading and Keeping Copies of EVERYTHING!

The real estate or home buying process is not with out a few sheets of paper. Seriously! While you will have gone through some of the paper process with your loan application, the next big document will be the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Now, this won’t be a strange document to you when you work with me. At our first initial consultation, I’ll have given you a blank copy of every document related to the purchase so you’ve had a chance to look them over and know what they are about.

The Purchase and Sale Agreement is a legally binding contract that obligates you to complete the purchase of the home or condo we’ve found! There will be various timelines (or deadlines) established by this contract, and I’ll be right  alongside you to help make sure we meet each and everyone of them. Critical deadlines are your Due Diligence Period (when we will do your inspection)  and your Appraisal and Financing Contingencies. 

Home Inspection

Home Inspections for condosSpeaking of Due Diligence and inspections….you should ALWAYS have the home or condo you are buying inspected by a professional home inspector. (We have two great recommendations on Our Team Page here.  While a condo may have less issues to address, most homes have at least a few item that me need to be repaired, or even replaced.

A home inspector will do a detailed inspection of the systems such as plumbing, electrical and appliances. This is mostly all you can check in a condo. In a single family home however, there are more things to look at like the roof, gutters and foundation and a basement, if there is one.

Once the inspection is completed, we will receive a report that we can review and determine which items we want to request be repaired.  This is somewhat of a “second negotiation” after you are already Under Contract. It can be one of the times that your home purchase can be derailed if the Seller is unwilling to make repairs (if they are significant enough) or make any concession in the agreed upon price of the home.

The Neighborhood

LCI Grant Awarded to Midtown Alliance for Transit Station enhancementsWhen you are searching for a home or condominium, the neighborhood, or location is every bit as important as the home itself. You should take time to familiarize yourself with the area.

Are you moving from a quite suburban home with a yard to a high rise condo in Midtown Atlanta? Well, you might see that there is a difference in the noise levels of outside activity you hear. Just because you bought on the 27th floor, does not mean that you won’t hear cars or emergency vehicles. If you sleep with your balcony doors open (when the weather is cool!) you are certain to hear even voices from the street.

You want to look for both the desirable and undesirable conditions. Will you find the “perfect” place? Probably not…but we will get really darn close!  There might be a Publix Market on the ground floor of Plaza Midtown, but if your view includes the Downtown Connector, this might not be what you are looking for. If there are vacant lots in the vicinity of the building you are looking in, you can do further research via local planning authorities as to what (an how high it could be that would affect your view) can be built there.

You should also consider purchasing a Home Warranty. Often times this can be negotiated to be paid for by the Seller of the property. If not, you may want to consider purchasing one on your own. They don’t cover everything, and often times have many exclusions, but can be worth it. They can cost up to $575 per year, but the cost of replacing a hot water heater can be more than that.

If you have other questions about the home buying process, just ask me! I’m here to help you make the biggest purchase of your life one of the easiest!!

FHA Assumable Mortgage – The Seller’s New Marketing Tool

by

FHA MortgagesSee on Scoop.it – Midtown Atlanta Conversations and Condos

Mortgages from the F.H.A. and Department of Veterans Affairs have a little-known feature: assumability.

 

Thom Abbott‘s insight:

Homeowners with a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs should consider using their loan terms as a marketing tool when it comes time to sell. The FHA assumable mortgage may be the best marketing tool for the Seller!

Mortgage loans from both government agencies include a little-known feature known as assumability. In other words, the buyer of a home financed with an existing F.H.A. or V.A. loan may be able to take over, or assume, the seller’s loan, under the same terms, rather than take out a new mortgage.

During periods when interest rates are rising, homes offered for sale with an assumable, lower-rate mortgage may have extra appeal for certain buyers.

“If You Sleep ON It, You May Not Sleep IN It! – Midtown Atlanta Condos”

by

Midtown Atlanta CondosBuyer’s Beware! The dynamics of the real estate market have changed in many cities and neighborhoods….and Midtown Atlanta is no exception! While as a Buyer, you need to make an educated decision on the home or condo you buy, you need to be READY to make that decision.

“If You Sleep ON It, You May Not Sleep IN It!”

Being READY to make that decision involves several things.

  1. Having a mortgage loan pre-approval from a lender that know the market you are buying in. Purchasing a condominium has different aspects than a single family home. Take for instance, the existence of two or three Associations within the building! Not every lender or underwriting department is prepared for that.
  2. Knowing what you want in your home or condo, and amenities. If you want a building that has a club room, or 24 hour Concierge, then make sure your agent narrows their (and your search) to only those buildings that offer those features.
  3. Be ready to make that offer the moment you see the home you like! You are not alone in the real estate shopping world! The very condo you are standing in has probably been shown at least once, if not 3 or 4 or 5 times today.

Such, comes the saying, “If you sleep ON it, You may not sleep IN it.” Taking to long to make a decision, or make that offer, could either put you in a multiple bid situation where you will be competing with another buyer, or 2 or 3 with your offer.  Or, the Seller may have already accepted another offer.

As you step into the “real estate ring” make sure you have been working out and are ready.
