You will have a stronger offer when you find the right home. However you need need to ask a few questions of your mortgage representative before you decide to use a specific lender in the credit market we are in some lenders are saying the right words to get you in bu the are not able to fund the deal.

Hi Joe, when you visit Columbus and drive around the area you will be able to answer your questions as to "why" the homes are cheaper on the near Eastside. The village areas Victorian, Italian, and German, have undergone a revitiliztion these areas are unique and receive a higher price. If you are looking for older charm and family oriented areas you might consider Clintonville, Worthington, and older parts of Westerville.

Columbus and the suburbs have every type of housing with little commute time any home buyer would want. For a no cost or obligation relocation package with interactive DVD or for information on how to save thousands when you buy your home please visit my website.

Angela, You ask a good question. I don't think it can be answered with a simple yes or no. I know things are rough with Wall St. but I would not advise pulling everything out at this time. You would realize the huge losses you talk about. The country is in a shift and it will stablize. Once it is stablized and you still want to pull your money out that would be a better time. I would also not look at the Dow loss numbers, but look at your individual stocks or nutual funds. The Dow number is made up of a small percentage of companies and not all companies are hurting. Energy and commodity stocks and funds have been doing quite well in this market.

Part II of your question about real estate and renting. The price you would receive for rent would depend on several factors, location, style, bedrooms, other available units. You can get an idea of price by calling "For Rent" signs to see what others are asking. You can also do an internet search or ask a Real Estate Agent to give you the statistics of the neighborhood which should include average rental price. Keep in mind you may have a greater tax burden with the income of rent. The rental market is soft in some areas of Columbus, meaning rental prices are coming down. People who are stuck with a large payment are taking what ever they can to help cut their losses.

If you would like more information or have a specidic questions please feel free to email me at Todd@ToddOrrill.com or visit my website for helpful information.
