Where can I find detailed information about the Mortgage process with extensive Calculators to help give me an idea of the monies involved?

There are many sites which cover the financial aspect of making a purchase. Warning: Mortgage information sites do not cover every aspect for every situation. I recommend that you just use these links to get an idea about the costs but always go to a Mortgage Professional, as well as , a real estate Attorney to get a better idea of the costs involved. Keep in mind that a "pre-qualification" letter will go a long way to having your purchase offer being taken seriously. Many sellers insist on a copy of the "pre-qualifying letter" when the offer is made.

 

Visit the following for Mortgage information and Calculators

At the National Association of Realtors: Learn all about interest rates, the mortgage loan process and which mortgage is right for you with their Mortgage Library. Calculate How Much House you can Afford. Figure your Monthly Mortgage Payments.  Check your Credit Reports, Local Rates and Lender Directory, as well as, Today's Mortgage Rates And much more! 

National Association of Realtors-Mortgage Information

Excellent Calculators and Mortgage information exists at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) site.

What homes and Real Estate does the Federal Government offer?

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has an excellent site for searching for properties being sold by the government. At the link below you will find     "Several federal agencies have properties to sell. In fact, HUD sells both single family homes and multifamily properties. Check them out - one might be just what you're looking for!" as stated at the site. Act quickly they go fast when put on the market and usually you will have competition in trying to  get one of  them! BE SURE TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS OF BUYING GOVERNMENT HOMES. THIS " HUD" SITE SHOULD BE EXPLORED IN DETAIL IF YOU WISH TO UNDERTAKE THIS PROCESS. START AT THE "HOME" LINK AT THE SITE!  

Contact me if you are interested. You must place bids with a participating real estate agent
