Buying a condo can be a good experience if you know what you are getting into. If you enjoy the easy life but you still want to own your own home, buying a condo may be just the thing for you! Today, we will look into a few things you may want to consider when buying a condo.
Get to know your HOA if there is one. Find out what you can and cannot do in and around your new condo. Many people take getting to know about their Homeowner’s Association for granted until it is too late and they run into a problem.
Look into the bylaws of the condo you are thinking about purchasing. You can find out about rules regarding pets, parking, maximum occupant guidelines as well as finding out about things you can and cannot change in the unit if you decide you would rather rent for a while.
Have the building inspected to see if there will be any need for repairs before you purchase it. This will help you in the long run avoid spending needlessly on things that could have already been fixed before you move in to your new condo.
Find out what your voting rights might be as a condo owner. You can check this by again looking into the HOA and those that govern it.
Check into the finances of the condo to see that there are reserves for building maintenance that may come into play in the future.
Go door to door and get to know your potential neighbors. You will be living in close proximity to your neighbors if you do choose condo life, so spend a little bit if extra time getting to know those around you.
Condo life can be great if you are an empty nester or if you are single or an older individual looking for a more relaxed lifestyle than typical home ownership offers you. The last thing you want to be doing in your later years is worrying about keeping up a house and all that it entails. Start looking into condo life today by doing a bit of research online for condos in your area for sale or rent. There are pros and cons to owning your own condo so be sure to do your research and figure out if living in a condo works for your lifestyle. You may find that you have found the gold at the end of the rainbow by purchasing your own condo.

There are some homeowners that have been waiting for months to get a price they hoped for when they originally listed their house for sale. The only thing they might want to consider is… If it hasn’t sold yet, maybe it’s not priced properly.
After all 15,315 houses sold yesterday, 15,315 will sell today and 15,315 will sell tomorrow.
15,315!
That is the average number of homes that sell each and every day in this country according to the National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) latest Existing Home Sales Report. NAR reported that sales are at an annual rate of 5.59 million. Divide that number by 365 (days in a year) and we can see that, on average, over 15,315 homes sell every day. The report from NAR also revealed that there is currently only a 4.8 months supply of inventory available for sale, (6 months inventory is considered ‘historically normal’). This means that there are not enough homes available for sale to satisfy the buyers who are out in the market now in record numbers.
Bottom Line
We realize that you want to get the fair market value for your home. However, if it hasn’t sold in today’s active real estate market, perhaps you should reconsider your current asking price.

Over the years there hasn’t been that much to talk about when it came to housing for Veterans but as the months and years go by things are beginning to look up for those who have protected our country and are still continuing to do so. Let’s take some time and look at a few ways that veterans housing is improving for the better.
Many companies are beginning to get on the band wagon of helping out veterans in our country. One of those companies is the Arizona Fisher House. This facility will provide housing for vets and their families who are being treated in medical facilities in Tucson Arizona. This housing will be temporary while the vets are being treated but it will be provided at no charge to the veterans.
Homes For Heroes is an awesome program that allows veterans as well as other home town heroes a chance to own a home of their own. In order to find out more about homes for heroes you can look them up online. This program offers great discounts to veterans and their families so that their dream of owning their own home can become a reality.
Marmion Apartments in Los Angeles is offering housing for 24 veterans and their families as well as 24 low income families. There are almost 3,000 homeless veterans in Los Angeles alone. That number is not acceptable and this is one of the reasons why changes are finally being made.
In Green Bay Wisconsin Veteran’s Manor will be opening in June for Veterans who need a place in which to live. This location will offer 50 one bedroom apartments in which to house 50 veterans and their families.
If Tennessee is where you call home you may want to check out Patriot Place which is a 34 unit apartment complex for Vets and their families.
These are just a few ways that things are beginning to look up in the housing market for veterans. I believe as time goes on we will see programs like this in our local community. After all veterans have done and how much they and their families have sacrificed their lives for our country’s freedom, this is the least that can be done. If you see a Veteran today, be sure to offer them your sincere thanks and appreciation for your freedom!

Most folks these days are living paycheck to paycheck and are having a hard enough time trying to pay all of their bills on time. This is one of the biggest reasons many people are looking for some sort of down payment assistance when it comes time to purchase a new home. For many people owning their own home cannot become a reality because they simply cannot afford to come up with the down payment needed. Rest assured if you are one of those people who have a hard time coming up with enough money to pay bills much less enough money for a down payment on a house, there is hope for you! Below are a few ideas for down payment assistance and what you need to do to qualify for it.
Figure out what your adjusted gross income is so that you will know if you can or cannot qualify for down payment assistance.
Complete a HUD application at your local HUD (The US Department of Urban Development) office. In order to qualify for HUD your adjusted gross income must not be more than 80 percent of the local median income.
The down payment assistance program from HUD has a limit of 6 percent of the home’s purchase price or $10,000 so be sure that you know what size and price range you are looking for in a home before you apply for assistance. Knowing some of these things beforehand will possibly save you a lot of hassle in the long run.
You may possibly qualify for a grant that you do not have to pay back such as with the American Dream Down Payment Initiative Program. This program is known as the ADDI. If you need assistance with your home down payment be sure not to let this particular program slip through your fingers.
Hopefully these few ideas for down payment assistance will get you started in the right direction when looking for a home of your own. It is important that you don’t get discouraged and give up when looking for these types of assistance programs. They are out there for the taking you just have to be diligent to look for them and see which ones may be able to assist you in your home buying experience. It is all too easy to give up and not look deep into all the different home down payment assistance programs but I promise you if you do enough research you WILL likely find one out there that is just waiting to help you.
