Hello Everyone!
This selling season is a good time to take advantage of the many finance programs designed to help buyers purchase with little or no money down. Besides that, Sellers will some times help by contributing 3% to 6% of the selling price for closing costs or prepaids, depending on the type of finance program used by the Buyer.
There is also USA Rural Development financing which provides home loans for low to moderate income households through it’s Direct and Guaranteed loan programs. Applicants may obtain 100% financing to purchase an existing home or construct a home in a community outisde of a metropolitan area. The Direct Loan Program can also provide monthly payment assistance to help reduce applicants monthly house payments. Monthly payments are calculated according to the buyers’ ability to repay the loan.
For more information contact Rural Development at 563-6006, ext 4 or any other Rural Development in your area. Then call Dick Davin Real Estate for help in finding the perfect home using either Rural Development Financing or any other First Time Home Buyers program.
Till next time,
My best real estate tips to you

Hello everyone.
Because interest rates can dictate the size, location, and type of your home, everyone wants to know where interest rates are going in the future… up or down. I do not have a magic ball, but I can tell you one thing: Now is the time to buy if you are looking to get in a new home!
As of today (March 15, 2007) rates are about xx, depending on your cedit and where you go for your loan.
Back in the 1980’s interest rates were 23+ or more!
Please contact me about current rates, where to go to be pre qualified for a loan and we’ll get these great rates locked in for you!
My best,
Mary Davin

Well, I’ve been saying it for a long time, now other people are rating us in the top 10 too!

Here is just a small excerpt from the article.
