On an REO, would a lender be receptive to, full asking price, 7%, and 0% down?

Orlando Realtors help me find a Condo

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:56:00 GMT

Orlando Realtors who have Condos listed:

I need to find a Condo in Orlando - preferably within 5 miles of downtown, or within a mile or two of I-Drive.

Price = somewhere in the 50K range (I have pulled up hundreds of these on websites - help me narrow it down).

Buyer has $50,000 cash.

Criteria: at least 51% owner occupied. Condo Association "in good standing".

Pool, workout room, clubhouse, etc. are a plus. (This is for my friend's 30 year old daughter - it needs to have some "cool" amenities). [Something along the lines of Millenia, although Buyer says "no" to that project].

Gated, or security on site.

Condo Conversion okay if the building is less than 10 years old.

Low Crime area.

Preferably Vacant.

Short Sale okay (and probable), if LA has established communication with the Lender, etc.

Here's the deal -
I am a Licensed Florida Real Estate Broker - my paperwork with My Florida MLS is in process, and I will belong to MFMLS in 6 to 7 business days as a Broker-at-Large.

I have a Lockbox Key - ORRA has already activated my GE Supra eKey for ORRA Listings (if the property is vacant, I can let myself in). This will be a cooperating sale between the listing office and my office.

I am at FAR Convention this week - leave a voice mail, or post the listing here, or email me using Zillow Contact info, or use the contact button on my Website.

My agency position will be Transaction Broker.

TIA,
Frederick Griffin, Licensed Real Estate Broker

Can a home be purchased at auction using the first time home buyers credit for the downpayment?

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:30:00 GMT

I plan on using the first time home buyers credit as the downpayment for a house, I was wondering if I could still purchase a home at auction using that credit and paying the rest of the balance through a traditional mortgage. Are auctions for full cash only? How can I find a realtor that will guide me through the home auction process?

what are the steps involved in buying a renovated house using FHA

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:44:00 GMT

I'm tying to buy a house I really like in the Orlando, 32825 area. Its a house that has was purchases 5/29/this year for aprox 70,000 and fixed up to resale at 125,000. the thing is counting the option to use the $8,000 to use towards down payment I can comfortably pay 12,000 down.... because I am doing FHA I was told by my Realtor that I'd have to wait until 8/30 this year to start going to the loan process for the house etc... my questions are.
1) looking at the OCPA website the house Just value is $106,000 is 125,000 too much (house is 3/2 1089 sq ft.)?
2) Do I really have to wait all the way until August to and use FHA or could I get a conventional loan at about the same rate having only proximately 10-15% to put down?
3) why can't we start looking for loans now on the house? wouldn't it be best to start early and have everything ready before the 30th of august if I do have to wait that much longer?

This is my very first home so any advice will help with the buying process.
