Lo que todo dueño de casa debe saber Nadie compra una casa esperando atrasarse en los pagos mensuales, para que después el banco ejecute o embargue la propiedad. A continuación le damos algunos consejos para evitar este problema y soluciones en caso de que ocurra. No anticipe el fracaso Hay dos maneras principales de evitar la ejecución hipotecaria: No se ponga en la situación de no poder pagar su hipoteca. Conozca cuánto puede realmente pagar antes de salir a buscar casa y manténgase dentro del presupuesto. A menudo, la gente extiende demasiado sus posibilidades financieras, cuando en realidad no tienen ni tendrán los medios para pagar la hipoteca. Tan sólo porque el prestamista hipotecario le aprueba un préstamo de cierta cantidad, no significa que usted...

What every homeowner should know No one buys a home hoping to get behind on payments and have the bank foreclose on it. Here are a few tips to avoid this problem altogether, and what to do if it does occur. Don’t set yourself up for failure There are two main ways to avoid foreclosure: Don’t put yourself in a situation where you won’t be able to afford your mortgage. Know how much you can really afford before you start shopping for a home and stick to that price range. Often, people over-extend themselves financially when in reality they don’t and won’t have the means to pay their mortgage payment. Just because the mortgage lender approves you for a loan at a certain amount doesn’t mean you can actually afford the payments on that loan. Understand your loan. Many...

Ser propietario de su hogar puede ser más fácil de lo que usted se imagina Saber es poder, especialmente si lo que desea es comprar su primera casa. Aunque el proceso de compra tiene muchos mitos que distorsionan la realidad, ser propietario puede ser una realidad a su alcance.

Owning your own home may be more realistic than you think Knowledge is power, particularly if you are striving to afford your first home. The homebuying process has many myths, though.

Texas REALTORS® are committed to dispelling these myths and making the American Dream of homeownership a reality for more people. Some have taken additional training in affordable housing through a program called the Texas Affordable Housing Specialist certification.

Look at every home through the eyes of a burglar. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that 2.1 million burglaries were committed in 2004. Not all of these situations involved forced entry; many were the result of unlocked doors and windows. Once you close that loophole, though, how can you determine if one house is more vulnerable than another? Well, a residence surrounded by a 15-foot electric fence and patrolled by guard dogs might be a giveaway, but here are some more-subtle ways to judge a house’s security. Entrances should be visible and the exterior well-lit. Thieves don’t like to be seen. If a home’s doors and most-accessible windows are visible from the street or a neighbor’s house, they might look for another home. Most homes have outside lights;...

Credit problems can seem like an insurmountable barrier to getting a home loan. It’s not an easy task, but with patience and some insight you can turn things around. Here are four ways you can get on the road to credit repair—and put yourself in a better position for homeownership. 1. Develop a budget Stop all credit transactions right now. It might sound harsh, but you should hide or destroy all of your cards if necessary! Now you can manage your inflow of cash and, more importantly, your outflow—money in and money out.

Una casa de $200,000 cuesta más que una de $185,000, ¿verdad? Bueno pues si y no. Asumiendo el mismo tipo de financiamiento para ambas casas, la casa de $200,000 costará más incialmente. Pero existen muchos factores que contribuirán a que el costo de la casa se incremente a largo plazo. He aquí algunas cosas que hay que tomar en cuenta cuando trate de determinar el costo real de una casa: ¿Tiene piscina o jacussi que requiera mantenimiento? ¿Qué tanto mantenimiento require el jardín y quien se hará cargo de él? ¿Hay árboles que remover? ¿Cuales son los costos de la luz, el agua, etc.? Aunque sus costos no serán los mismos exactamente que el de los dueños actuales, se puede obtener las cuentas de servicios del año anterior a través de ellos o directamente con...

A $200,000 home costs more than a $185,000 home, right? Well, yes and no. Assuming the same type of financing for both homes, the $200,000 home does cost more initially. But many factors contribute to the overall long-term cost of a house. Here are some things to keep in mind when trying to determine the true cost of purchasing a particular home: Does it have a pool or hot tub that requires maintenance? How much yard maintenance is required and who will perform it? Are there trees that should be removed? What are the utility costs? Although your usage won’t be exactly the same as the current owners, you may be able to get their utility bills for the past year from them or directly from the utility company. How soon will the roof need to be replaced? Does the...
