Mark Borst answered:
i would ask your friends and family for a referral to someone. like joe said, avoid online and "teaser rates" in advertisements. payment has many variables. Principle, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance, flood insurance (if applicable). From all these variables only the interest, hazard ins, and mortgage insurance would vary. Sounds like you may want to look at an FHA loan. Good Luck - Fri Aug 8 2008, 19:18

In CP unless you can get the condo at a discount, it is not a great investment. That being said even if you pay retail for a condo, you could keep it as a rental property after you want to move somewhere else. Good Luck.- Mark - Tue Jun 10 2008, 19:48
Mark Borst answered:
Stated loans are getting tough to do. A Great Loan officer i work with often is Heather Opperman of CTX Mortgage. (219) 942-9333. As far as a good offer, what are your plans for the house; are you going to live in it? or fix and sell? If the later, i would suggest no more than 75% of that132k number to be able to make something on the back end, but there are a lot of variables. Consult with a Realtor no matter if someone in my office or others. A good realtor should be able to help you with comparable homes in the area, to get a better feel for the current market as well as an estimate of where the market is headed.

Good Luck,
