Wait or sell now with a loss? (Aventura, FL)

Thomas Martin answered:
If you cant make money on the property sell it if you can. There are plenty of opportunities to buy now. But if you wait theres a chance it could lose more value as inventory builds. - Sun Jul 6 2008, 15:11

WHAT FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR A FIRST TIME BUYER?

Thomas Martin answered:
If you are looking to buy a foreclosure as a primary residence FHA can help you purchase the home with 100% financing. Federal Housing Administration has waived their 90 day requirement for homebuyers. Previously homebuyers had to wait 90 days for a home to be approved for financing to stop flippers from using FHA loans. The infusion in FHA loans will provide another pillar for the market to regain it's balance.

Note: FHA is for Primary residence only.

This is how it works FHA will give you 97% of the purchase price. The Seller can give you up to 6% to cover your closing cost and prepaids. The 3% downpayment can come from a friend, a family member, or a non profit.
I have NON PROFIT that will give you the 3% all day long, Becasue they charge min $500. The seller signs a pre arranged aggreement giving instructions to the title company that the 3% plus $500 processing is wired back to the Non Profit from the seller proceeds.

Example of how it works,

You find a house listed for 100,000
Seller aggrees to give you
6% back to cover closing or -$6000
Seller also Aggrees to
contribute 3% to the
Non Profit downpayment 3% of -$3000

The Non Profit
Charges -$500
Processing fee.
At the end the Seller
Walks with $90,500

And you have a home financed for 100,000.

This is a good way for Seller to market their home as well. Offering your home for 100% finaning is a good way to attach more buyers. Any Renter that has stable, predictable income likley to continue and has a steady rental history can qualify for this program.
