PREVENTING FORECLOSUREOnce you're in your new home, you'll need to make your monthly mortgage

payments each month and on time.

If you don't make your mortgage payments over a period of time, your mortgagelender can foreclose on your house. Foreclosure means that the lender takes thetitle to your property for nonpayment and sells the property to recover the amount

you owe the lender. As a result of foreclosure, youwould no longer be able to live in your house and youwould lose all of the equity you held in your home

including your down payment.

If this happens, the foreclosure becomes part of yourcredit record. This may adversely affect your ability to

secure credit in the future.

Be sure that you understand the serious commitmentyou are undertaking when you decide to buy a home.

En Route ...Develop a savings plan to protect your investment inyour home. Financial planners usually recommendthat you save 3 to 6 months worth of expenses in

case you lose your job or become seriously ill.If you do foresee that you will have a problem making your monthly mortgagepayments, contact your mortgage lender immediately. Mortgage lenders will

work with you to avoid a foreclosure.


PREAPPROVALIf you think homeownership is for you, getting pre-approved for amortgage is a good idea. This determines the size of the mortgageyou qualify for, and therefore, decides the price range for the homesyou can look at.

Pre-approval helps you to:

• Know how much you can borrow.• Confirm your ability to qualify for a mortgagebased on your credit, financial and employmentinformation.

• Strengthen your position to make an offer on a house.A seller will be more willing to accept an offer if the buyer ispre-approved.

To become pre-approved, you'll need to work with a mortgagelender. The mortgage lender will review your credit history, earningsinformation, employment history and assets. You will need toprovide certain documents to the lender to verify this information.

After the review, the lender will give you a "pre-approval letter." Thepre-approval letter tells home sellers that you have the ability toqualify for a certain mortgage amount.

A pre-approval letter tells home sellers that you have the ability toqualify for a mortgage.

Getting pre-approved is not the same thing as getting pre-qualified.Pre-qualification simply states that the borrower qualifies for a loanbased on some preliminary questions but does not commit themortgage lender to approve the mortgage. The mortgage lender willstill have to conduct a complete review of your financial situation,including your credit report and your income and employmenthistory.

The pre-approval processis more thorough. Thelender does most of thework for full approvalexcept for an appraisaland title search becausethere is no propertyidentified to buy.

“Beginning Traditions”

Preparing YourHome for Your Move

1. Take the necessary steps to transfermemberships in clubs and organizations.

2. Inform creditors and credit companies ofyour change of residence.

3. Change your address at thePost Office

4. Notify insurance companies.Be sure to have propercoverage if you aremoving to a new state.

5. Notify the utilitycompanies of your newaddress for final billingand advise them of whichdate to discontinueservice: gas, electric,telephone and water.


HOW MUCH CAN IAFFORD TO SPEND?

For a general idea of your buying power, multiply your annual grossincome by 2½. For example, if you had a household income of $50,000,you might be able to qualify for a $125,000 home. The actual number maybe more or less, depending upon your individual situation, debts and credithistory.

You need to decide for yourself if you canlive comfortably with the amount of yoursuggested monthly mortgage payment.

However, mortgage lenders generally usetwo ratios to help determine how much youcan afford to spend each month on yourmortgage payment.

HOUSING EXPENSE RATIO

As a general guide your monthly mortgage payment should be less than orequal to a percentage of your income, usually about a quarter of your grossmonthly income. The percentage can change depending on the type ofmortgage you choose. However, there are mortgage productsavailable that focus solely on the debt-to-income ratio. Yourlender can provide more information on these types ofmortgage products.

DEBT-TO-INCOME

Debt-to-Income Ratio is the percentage of gross monthly income that goestoward paying for your monthly housing expense, installment debts, alimony,child support, car payments, and payments on revolving or open-endedaccounts such as credit cards.

Your buying power can be affected by factors such as your income, debt andcredit history. Your debt, such as credit card bills and car loans, and otherexpenses such as housing expenses, alimony and child support, should not bemore than about 30-40% of your gross income.

Some helpful hints...❖ Set a budget with your estimated mortgage payment. Make sure to includetaxes and insurance in your estimated payments.

❖ Remember your housing budget should include utilitycosts and a set amount for future home maintenance

and repair costs.

❖ Make sure you can meet your other financialgoals, such as saving for retirement and payingfor college tuition.

❖ Once you review your finances, select a mortgage amount thatallows you to reasonably meet your long-term goals and needs.

How to Feel at Home After You Move(ARA) - Moving to a new community can be a great adventure, if you go with the right attitudeand a sound strategy for settling in. Make an action plan and you’ll stay focused, organized andproactive -- just what’s needed to put roots down fast.

Before You Go* Complete a change of address form with the post office, which can be done online at usps.com.

You’ll also want to send your new address to any publications you subscribe to.* Make initial contact with childcare facilities. Depending on the area you move to, you may

need to put your name on a waiting list.* If possible, enroll your children in school. Firm plans will reduce the stress.* Pack a box with essentials for your first few nights, such as prescription medicine,

toiletries, a telephone, clothing, towels, toilet paper and bed linen.* You’ll also want to make arrangements to have utilities transferred to your name or turned on.

Upon Arrival* For safety and peace of mind, change the locks.* Locate emergency services -- police and fire stations and the closest hospital.* Hang drapes or curtains to give you some privacy.* Select one room, perhaps the family room, as a place of refuge. Make it a cozy space, free

of unpacked boxes, empty cartons or anything else move-related.* Stock the fridge with prepared entrees and the makings for no-fuss meals.

The First Week* Check with the post office to see if they are holding mail for you. Finish sending out

change of address to credit card companies, clubs, associations, friends and family.* File away all documents related to the move. You’ll need them for verification of moving

expenses at tax time.* Call your waste removal company or department of sanitation for a trash collection schedule.* Update your driver’s license and transfer the vehicle registration.

* Register to vote.* Take a tour of your neighborhood

to become familiar with your newsurroundings.Learn the routes to work, school,grocers, etc.

Help Your Children Adjust* Maintain family routines.

Kids will appreciate the continuityof family life.

* Involve the kids. Allow them toselect new furnishings or decoratetheir rooms.

* Visit the local playground.* Try to be home when the children return from their first day at school. Kids feel reassured

when a parent is there to hear about their day.

Get Involved in the Community* Spend time outdoors. Neighbors may greet you and come by for sidewalk chats.* Walk your dog in an area where you see other dog owners congregating.* Schedule an after-work coffee or dessert hour. Invite neighbors to drop by.* Choose a place to worship and get involved; consider doing volunteer work.* Select professional service providers such as doctor, dentist and financial and/or tax advisor.* Join a club or take up activities you enjoyed before the move.* Take a job-related class to develop new professional contacts and update skills.

Don’t hesitate to contact local financial and real estate professionals for more ideas or informa-tion about your new community. By re-establishing daily patterns and developing ties soon afterarrival, your new environment will feel like home in no time.

DOWN PAYMENTAND CLOSING COSTS

DOWN PAYMENTSYour down payment is a percentage of the value of the house you want

to buy. The exact percentage depends on the requirements of the lender for thetype of mortgage you choose. In order to qualify for most mortgages you will need adown payment between 3-20% of the price of the house.

Closing costs usually range from 2-7% of the property value.

You may be required to have private mortgage insurance (PMI) if your down paymentis less than 20%. Private mortgage insurance protects the lender if the mortgagegoes into default.

CLOSING COSTSYou will need additional money for closingcosts. These costs vary by region butgenerally range between 2-7% of theproperty value.

Closing costs include points, originationfees, taxes, title insurance, financing costsand items that must be prepaid or escrowed and othercosts. You will receive a written estimate of these costsfrom your lender after you apply for the mortgage.

BEGIN WITH YOURCREDIT REPORT

When you look for a mortgage, lenders will review your credit report. Your creditreport is a history of how you have managed your finances and repaid debt. Itprovides information on money you have borrowed and a history of yourpayments.

Your credit history is pulled together into a credit report by three privatecompanies: Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. These companies sell yourcredit report to banks and other creditors so they can review mortgage and loanapplications.

Your credit report includes:

• A list of debts, such as credit cards and car loans, and a history of howyou have paid them.

• Any bills that have been referred to a collection agency. This caninclude items like phone and medical bills.

• Public record information, such as tax liens or bankruptcies, even ifthese have happened several years ago.

• Inquiries made about your creditworthiness. An inquiry is madewhen you request credit. Many times your report will also show ifyou were given credit based on the inquiry.

Most of the information in your creditreport is deleted after 7 years (a bankruptcyis deleted after 10 years) and is continuouslyupdated to reflect the latest information.

Your credit report is a history of howyou have managed your finances and

repaid debt.

If you would like to receive a copy of your credit report, contact oneor all three of these credit reporting agencies.

Can Irealistically

afford a home?

Lenders typically want thebuyer to contribute a portion of theirown funds toward the purchase ofa home. These funds are oftenreferred to as the down payment.

There are many options availableto home buyers who need help withdown payments. Some mortgagefinancing requires as little as 3percent down. How much will youneed at closing? Consider a familythat wants to purchase a $150,000home with a required down paymentof 5 percent. The down paymentwould total $7,500. You also haveto be prepared to pay closing costs,which can range from 3 percent to6 percent of the sales price of thehome. For a $150,000 home, thatwould mean $4,500 to $9,000,depending on your down payment.

HOUSE BUYING TIP

DON’T BUY A HOUSEIN AN URGENT RUSH!!!

Don't wait until the day you have tomove out of your old house or gettransferred to buy a house. You needtime to carefully plan your purchase. Itcan take 2 months or more to get anagent, shop for the house, get approvedfor amortgage, and close escrow. If youknow you will be relocating and need ahouse soon, you should start lookingnow, because you don't want to bepushed up against a wall and forced intomaking costly and hasty decisions withadverse financial ramifications that willcome back to haunt you. If the sellersknow you are desperate to get a housesoon, they will not drop the price. Thislittle mistake can cost you thousands.Always make the sellers think you haveplenty of time and resources to analyzeeach deal carefully. Make sure theyknow you are the one that they have tochase. then the deal will proceed onyour terms, not theirs.

Budget Do-it-YourselfMoving Tips(ARA) – If you’re one of the approximately 50million Americans moving this year, you prob-ably don’t want to spend a fortune to get frompoint A to point B. With a little planning ahead,it’s possible to execute a do-it-yourself movewithout breaking the bank.

* If you need to rent a truck or trailer, espe-cially if you only have a few large itemsthat can’t fit into your vehicle, check outyour local big box retail hardware store.They often rent trucks and trailers by thehour at a fraction of the cost of rentingfrom a moving company.

* Collect free boxes from friends, familyand from local grocery and liquor stores.Save old newspapers to wrap valuables ininstead of purchasing expensive rolls ofbubble wrap.

* Plug in the refrigerator at your new place a dayor two ahead of time. Pack frozen and perish-able foods in a cooler with ice packs and un-pack that food into your new fridge first.

* Pick up change of address forms, free ofcharge, from the post office. Request afree “welcome kit” from the local cham-ber of commerce in your new community.These kits contain valuable informationand often include money saving couponsfor local businesses.

* Pack wisely and avoid filling boxes somuch that they’re too heavy for you to liftwithout help. You’ll get more done witheach person carrying their own box.

* Clear a path. Before you lift a load, makesure you’ve got a clear path to your des-tination. You won’t be able to see well ormove obstacles out of your way once theload is in your arms.

* Use the right tools for the job. Hand truckscan be rented inexpensively and should beused to transport multiple boxes at onceor smaller items of furniture. Rememberthat hand trucks are not good for movingitems up or down stairs and are difficult tomaneuver around tight turns.

* Don’t end up in the hospital. When liftinga load, keep your back straight and bendyour knees. Keep your head up and lookstraight ahead to ensure your back remainsperpendicular to the ground. Hold the ob-ject securely and use the large, powerfulleg muscles to lift the weight. Avoid twist-ing or turning at the waist when lifting.Turn your entire body by moving yourhips first, which will force your shouldersto stay in line.

WANTS VERSUS NEEDSBefore you begin house hunting, create a realistic "shopping list" to narrowyour search and give you an overview of different properties. Looking for ahome can take time, especially if you have not focused on what is mostimportant.

Create a "wish list" and a "must have" list. Many people focus more on "wants"than "needs." As a result, they sometimes reject homes that perfectly meettheir needs in search of homes that meet their wants. That's not to say thatyou shouldn't try to get what you want – you should just be able to tell thedifference between what you really need and what you would like to have.

The following is a chart to help guide you in your search:
