Various Ways to Hold Title to Real Property

Title is the legal documentation that bestows ownership of real property. This is to be indicated in Part II of the 1003 Uniform Residential Loan Application as "manner in which title will be held."

The decision of how the title will be held should not be put off until the last minute since it has a great impact on future tax planning, the financial future of the borrower(s) and their respective heirs, and the choice of the lender.

It is most important for the mortgage consultant to work hand-in-hand with the borrower's financial planner or tax consultant to assist their mutual client in order to make decisions that work best for their particular scenario.

For example, most married couples would consider holding title with Joint Tenancy. But if one spouse has a good credit history while the other has damaged credit that may prevent funding of the loan, it would be advantageous to place title in the name of the spouse with the good credit rating.

Common ways to hold title are broken down into options that fall under the categories of sole ownership or co-ownership. Many states permit the holding of title in a living trust, but some lenders do not accept those terms. There are ways around this, but this is where the financial planner and the mortgage planner can make a tremendous difference by working together.

Our real estate & economy in laymans terms

Rates - they are great. 5% or lower if you pay your bills on time. Look here:

http://www.nevinhomeloans.com/RateSheet I told you so

Real estate sales - they are up!

http://bestrealestatelakenorman.com/lake-norman-real-estates-1st-quarter-2009-sales-analysis

Well, no..they are down: http://www.trianglencrealestatescoop.com/

Are you suprised? When the US Government says, Hey I'll buy that loan and I'll do it for 4.5% why wouldn't sales be up?

Guess not everyone is buying it..literally!

http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2009/05/march_phsi

Foreclosed home clean up:

If you clean trashed foreclosed homes then you are cleaning up! Good job you dirty entrepeneurs: http://hubpages.com/hub/Cleaning-Foreclosed-Houses-for-Banks

HVCC - ah the highlight of my career. We can't even trust our appraisers. Hey I don't trust you either Mr loan person or you Ms. real estate agent or you home inspector. I know! Why don't we raise everyone's taxes and create a government agency called US Government Real Estate Control Department where people who know nothing about real estate can tell all of us how we should do our job. Here is what I envision the complaint office to look like:

http://moneybob.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/1930-depression-bread-line-in-nyc.jpg

Healthcare - still a mess and really expensive. We are paying for Research and development so other countries can buy the drugs for a few bucks. Remember if you were sick before we insured you we ain't gonna cover it! Maybe try Norway... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_the_United_States

Social security - it is not secure. Thank your lucky stars if you get any $$$. If you do end up getting it try to live to be 120 so you might get your money back. http://www.ssa.gov/history/pics/idamay5.jpg

Recession/depression/hard times, whatever... ah, printing money always makes us look good for a while. http://www.urbanconservative.com/2009/03/16/fed-chair-bernanke-the-fed-is-printing-money/

The Big bail Out wasn't really a bail out-it was a huge bridge loan:

The guys that borrowed "bail out money" well some of them have assets (stuff) so they will likely pay us back when they get back on their feet. So we only need about 50 years to pay off what we borrowed not 70 years. Think I am kidding? Read 'em and weep: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=AIG&annual

Ben Bernanke - the grizzly adams looking dude that keeps shoveling... I mean selling us...I mean, stating that we should be "stable" by years end. This image of Ben tells the real story: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/files/images/bernanke_0_3.jpg

Spirits are up! Well the sales are anyway since people are drinking their sorrows away. Consider these stocks: BUD STZ MOND RVWS ahh.. read it your self! http://www.forbes.com/2001/04/09/0409sf.html

I hope you make some money on this hot stock tip!

So anyway, if you want to buy a home or refinance and are tired of all of the sales garb just call me and let's talk like human beings. What do you want? I'll tell you what I want and if we both think it's fair let's do it! I can help you buy a home or likely better your monthly money situation. Call or e-mail me anytime! (look below at the fine print)
