My mom said that when she got out of college, mortgage rates were 13% and fell 3 percentage points in just a year. Just this fact alone lets us know how rapidly rates can change up or down or how high those rates can really get. So if a borrower is in a market where home prices are reasonable andthe rates are as low as 4%, the borrower or "boomerang buyer" is going to want to repair their credit as soon as possible to take advantage of these market conditions. The "rent to own" option is the…
of my wife’s income as a result of leaving her job because of an out-of-state relocation. In addition, we purchased a home (with a mortgage) and experienced various expenses with new home ownership. Although these are not “emergencies”, the funds that we have set aside have served the purposes that we have needed over time. Establishing an emergency fund is extremely important to maintain a household during times of hardship. During the financial crisis of 2008, nearly half of American…
Fisher channel and unhedged interest rate exposures through which the aggregate consumer spending increases.

time, but even with that I knew that we still came up a little short. But I wanted this house so badly and the mortgage loan had been so easy to get, I knew we could make ends meet. If the bank believed we could, surely that was enough. But then the bills started coming in, fast and high. And soon, they stayed unopened, collecting dust on the dining room table. Then the notice came and just like that, after three short months, we were forced to leave. The beautiful home that we had mortgaged for…
He is able to make payments on the property for a couple years and when his score has recovered he can get a traditional mortgage and still have his rent payments count toward the balance of the purchase price. This produces a win-win for both the owner and buyer because the buyer was getting income from the property during the period of time before the final sale. The ‘large down payment” advantage can be achieved by taking time to save, save, save! We all need to do this, but “boomerang…
