Since the Florida mortgage meltdown went bust there has been a massive increase in Florida FHA mortgage applicants. Florida FHA loans have become popular for many reasons. Some of the reasons that FHA financing has become the best source of financing for Florida homebuyers  purchasing or refinancing their primary residence includes:

High LTV Florida FHA Home Loan Purchases- Florida FHA mortgage lenders allow for 97.75% of the purchase price to be financed. Conventional Florida lenders requires a minimum of 10% of the purchase price to be put down from the Florida home buyer. A Florida FHA loan will save any buyer purchasing their primary residence from having to put the additional 6.25% of the purchase price that conventional financing would have required them to do. This higher loan to value allows the Florida FHA loan applicant to keep more of their hard earned money in their pockets instead of locked up in the equity of the Florida home. In today’s market where sales prices have been falling it makes perfect sense to keep as little out of pocket expenses locked in the equity of Florida home as possible. 

Now More Florida property types allowed for FHA Financing – Florida FHA home loans now allow Florida home buyers to financing not only your typical 1-4 unit single family or multifamily homes, but also mobiles homes, Florida manufactured home loans, condos and townhouses. Conventional Florida mortgage lenders will not do Florida mobile homes or manufactured homes and they put sever restrictions on financing condos or townhouses. This is another reason that the Florida FHA loans are  far superior to conventional financing in Florida. If you have a property type that others have turned you down over, we can show you how to use a Florida FHA home loan to meet your needs!

FHA mortgage insurance cost less – Florida FHA mortgage loans provide much lower mortgage insurance premiums than conventional financing does. Typically your  FHA mortgage insurance will cost a Florida FHA mortgage applicant  1/2 of the cost of conventional Florida mortgage insurance. This is even more monthly savings that a Florida FHA loan will be able to provide over your typical conventional loan. 

Higher FHA cash refinance limits allowed - Florida FHA cash out refinances will now allow for 85% of the appraised value of the Florida home  to be obtained when doing cash out on your Florida home. If you just want to lower your interest rate, Florida FHA refinances can go up to 96.5% of the value of your home to help you lock in a lower 30 year fixed Florida mortgage rate. Conventional loans only allow borrowers to cash out up to 80% of the value of their homes. The Florida FHA loan allows an additional 5% over what typical conventional lenders will allow. More cash in your pocket with a Florida FHA cash out refinance!

(PRWEB) July 22, 2005

“This is insane,” says website and newsletter publisher, Sydney Tremayne, of house prices on both U.S. coasts. “Those modest three-bedroom homes selling for $ 1 million should probably be priced at $ 100,000,” the former investment advisor, now living in Panama, suggests.

He says homes are at outrageous prices because the Fed has been stimulating the economy for so long with cheap interest rates. Result: people have borrowed at bargain-basement interest rates, and spent. Credit cards are maxed out, and there is heavy secondary financing against the increased equity in these homes. Some of that equity, he says, has been used to speculate on other homes, forcing prices higher.

“But what happens when the U.S. enters the next recession or depression? When the economy contracts and people start to lose jobs? When buying dries up and homeowners can’t meet their mortgage payments, especially if they have adjustable rate mortgages? When bankruptcy levels rise to historic proportions, putting more companies out of business?”

Tremayne, whose 1987 book Take the Guessing out of Investing was a bestseller, says much of the wealth of private America is in its homes, not in other forms of investment or cash. High real estate values have led to a feeling of wellbeing and to some extent of complacency. With inflated-value assets, increased credit has been easy to obtain, and that borrowed money has mostly gone into consumables.

“When the economy contracts (and history shows it always does), spending dries up. Factories cut back production. People are laid off, put on reduced hours, overtime disappears, and the average person has less money to spend. Some of the early ones may be lucky enough to sell their homes without too much of a discount. But the real estate bubble will burst. Make no mistake about it. Record numbers of people will simply walk away empty-handed from a lifetime effort to keep a roof over their heads. And they will still owe money.”

But, he adds, when a $ 100,000 home can be sold for $ 1 million, especially in a region prone to hurricanes that are forecast to increase in intensity over the next few years, some people may now want to consider their financial options carefully.

Get away from ownership, he recommends, even if that means renting.

Why, he asks, is a modest three-bedroom house now worth $ 1 million in certain markets when the same house, with the same degree of comfort and convenience, can be had for $ 50,000 to $ 100,000 in Panama? “And this Panamanian house will be constructed in concrete, not wood, in a country that is modern, democratic, safe, and where there are no hurricanes.”

His recommendation for those able to move: Sell your $ 1 million home, and retire to Panama. “You can buy a better property than the one you now own, and you still have $ 800,000 to add to your retirement savings.”

There is no tax on foreign income in Panama, and the U.S. does not tax the first $ 80,000 of income made overseas ($ 160,000 per couple). The IRS even lets you deduct the interest portion of your mortgage payments in accordance with your tax bracket.

Tremayne, publisher of http://www.yourpanama.com, says Panama is an attractive place in which to live in any economic climate. The economy is not an industrial one, and that will shield it from the worst aspects of a global depression. Coincidentally, he adds, Panama real estate is an excellent investment decision.

Earthrace, Ltd., the charitable organization run by volunteers, steers the eco-friendly boat with the same name to North Cove Yacht Harbor where it has been open to the public since Friday, November 17. It is fitting that this extraordinary vessel is on display in Battery Park City, a green neighborhood that “leads the way in setting standards for healthy and sustainable environments.”

Renowned New Zealand navel architects Craig Loomes Design Group designed Earthrace. Calibre Boats, a builder of high-tech custom yachts, built the attention grabbing trimaran, or multi-hulled boat. To ensure the lowest weight and highest strength possible, the hull construction is carbon fiber and Kevlar.

Earthrace’s design is a showcase for environmentally friendly technologies provided by sponsors Cummins Mercruiser Diesel (CMD) and Better Biodiesel (BBD). CMD provided two standard engines that power the boat using only 100% biodiesel fuel provided BBD. Even the paint used for the boat is a natural, non-toxic wax.

Earthrace will be open for tours through 5:00 p.m., Sunday, November 19. Her crew invites the media and public to stop by to tour the boat and learn more about their 18-month promotional tour of 60 cities and plans to set a new UIM (Union International Motonautique) powerboat record for circling the globe before she leaves Manhattan on her way to Philadelphia.

For more information on Earthrace, to make a donation or sponsor Earthrace, or to track the voyage, please e-mail Devann Yatta or visit http://www.earthrace.net.

About Earthrace

The Earthrace mission is to raise awareness about environmentally friendly, sustainable fuels and to be the world’s first UIM powerboat to attempt to break the record for an equatorial circumnavigation via the Panama and Suez canals using only alternative fuels.

Ryan Heron, 23, from New Zealand, is filming and documenting the voyage.

SEATTLE, WA (PRWEB) October 11, 2005

Avatar Financial Group, a private hard money lender specializing in commercial real estate loans, today announced it has completed a three-year $ 18.85 million bridge loan for the purchase of the Pelican Apartments, an 379 unit apartment complex located in St. Petersburg, FL.

On schedule to complete the purchase with a conventional lender, the borrower, APD Custom Homes of Alpharetta, GA., was shocked at the eleventh hour to hear the lender wanted new and additional collateral in the form of another project the borrower had underway in Panama City, FL.

With the contract to purchase already signed, and financing now dropping out at the last moment, APD’s broker turned to Avatar Financial Group to fund the commercial property loan before the opportunity and $ 1.5 million in earnest money was lost altogether.

Avatar Financial Group approved the commercial real estate bridge loan for the acquisition of the property with a loan to value ratio of 65% percent in a first lien position.

TR Hazelrigg, President of Avatar Financial Group discussed the project. “Banks simply cannot fund commercial real estate loans of this size – or any commercial property loan for that matter – in two to three weeks,” he remarked. “Avatar Financial Group jumped into this difficult situation and made it happen. We made sure our client didn’t lose his $ 1.5 million earnest money because of a last minute demand by the conventional lender.”

Hazelrigg noted that the time constraint for funding was fairly common for Avatar’s clients. “We fund mortgage bridge loans on a timeframe that banks can’t match,” he said. “And, since Avatar doesn’t charge a pre-payment penalty, APD will be able to refinance as soon as they are ready.”

The property sits on 31.9 acres of beautifully landscaped land with lakes and water features located at 10200 Gandy Way in Saint Petersburg, an excellent location for residential properties.

With the property now purchased, long term plans include conversion to condominiums. In the immediate future, the client will refinance the property with another bank. Avatar’s bridge loan made that possible.

ABOUT AVATAR FINANCIAL GROUP

Based in Seattle, WA, Avatar Financial Group is a private hard money lender that provides commercial real estate loans in as little as two weeks. Avatar Financial Group specializes in mortgage bridge loans for income producing commercial, industrial, and investment residential properties nationwide, ranging from $ 1 million to $ 15 million and above.
