If you lend in California? Are you aware of Prop. 19 Property Taxes? Do you qualify FHA loans, based on Prop. 19 property taxes? When a senior over age 55 sells her home, and purchases her next home, she can carry her current base property tax rate to her new house, thereby helping a lot to qualify for the loan. There is a calculation and explanation at this government. I will most certainly qualify for Prop. 19. The lender will also have to gross up my non-taxable part of my social security income in order to make the income better. This is legally allowed. 33% of my social security income is non-taxable, therefore, this percentage can be grossed up by 1.25% (I think this is the percentage). This makes a difference. Normally, lenders qualify by taking 1.25% property tax in calculations, however, that amount is very high and when it gets added to monthly payment, then the DTI is not met. For example, on a $615,000 home, with a loan of $304,000, the property tax (1.25%) is $651 per month. With Prop. 19 calculations, it comes to only $482.33. This makes a big difference in cases like mine who is trying to qualify for the highest price home possible based on my income. Last question – does the house I am purchasing have to meet FHA loan criteria? Before I go further, I was wondering if you are aware of Prop. 19 and grossing up income? I will try calling you next week.

Do you service loans in Northern California? What kind of loan can you offer which would give me the highest Debt to Income Ratio?
My income is short, however, up to 825 credit score, clean credit and steady income documentation. Have a townhome, which would have to sell and put down up to 50% on my next purchase, however, am not meeting DTI. Looking for a single family home, would be my primary home, after selling my current townhome. Need 57% to 60% DTI. Maybe FHA? Not tried that route yet.

I had both German Shepherd and Doberman Pinscher dogs all my life and currently have Doberman Pinschers. Both Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds are phenomenal dogs. Both Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds are extremely intelligent dogs, if not the top two smartest dogs in the world. Both Dobermans and Shepherds to not need any training but are self trained. They watch their owners and learn by themselves. They quickly pick up what is the right thing to do and what type of behaviors is not condoned. However, I prefer Doberman Pinschers vs German Shepherds due to various reasons. Both Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds are highly intelligent, trainable breeds. However, knowing that any dog—regardless of its breed—needs training and socialization is essential. The belief that dogs do not need these or are “self-trained” can result in behavior problems.
That being said, here are some reasons why people might prefer Doberman Pinschers over German Shepherds:
Agility and Size: Dobermans have a more streamlined build, which makes them more agile than German shepherds. Doberman’s streamline build. This makes them suitable for different tasks or living arrangements.
Grooming Needs: A Doberman Pinscher’s coat is shorter, so grooming requirements will be less than those needed by a German shepherd, whose fur is longer.
Health Concerns: Compared to GSDs, Doobies may experience fewer issues with hip dysplasia and elbow diseases. Both breeds can suffer from health problems, but this happens more often in one breed than the other.
Nature: They’re described as “velcro-like” because they tend to stick closely with their owners whenever possible.
Barking Level: In certain living situations, such as apartments where noise should be minimal, barky GSDs would not fit into such homes, while quieter dobes would suit perfectly well without disturbing anyone else’s peace during quiet hours.
Looks/Sleekness Factor: Some individuals prefer muscularly built dogs like dobes instead of fluffy ones like German Shepherd dogs. German Shepherd dogs shed everywhere around the house all day long. Knowing somebody loves them unconditionally, even if nobody else does, makes them feel good about themselves ever again until death separates them apart. Amen!
Heat Tolerance Levels (for Southern states): Short hair means coolness during summer when temperatures rise above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but it still warms up enough not to freeze winter nights. Either way, either direction works out best all year round here down south, where the sun shines nonstop day year-round, and long-term life expectancy wise, too!!!

The housing market in Sarasota, Florida and its surrounding area is plummeting. After three years of skyrocketing values, homes in Sarasota, Florida are in major trouble. Home prices are expected to plummet 30 to 40% throughout 2024 into 2025. Home prices in Sarasota, County Florida increased 40% to 50% since 2019. The housing forecast of Sarasota Florida through 2025 is expected to wipe out all of the gains it gained since 2019. The housing market in Sarasota, Florida, has experienced several shifts in 2024. The median home price has seen a slight decline, with the average price for single-family homes around $548,000, down by about 4.7% from the previous year. This decline in prices presents opportunities for buyers, especially as the market has seen an increase in inventory and longer days on market.
The average time a home spends on the market has risen significantly, from 26 days last year to about 50 days this year, indicating a slower pace in sales. Additionally, the percentage of homes sold below the list price has increased, with many homes experiencing price drops before selling.
Despite these trends, Sarasota remains somewhat competitive, particularly in the luxury market, which is driven by affluent out-of-state buyers looking for waterfront estates and island retreats. However, the market dynamics are shifting towards favoring buyers more than in the past few years, given the increased inventory and slower sales pace.
For those considering entering the market, now might be a good time to buy, given the lower mortgage rates compared to last year and the slight decline in home prices. However, it is crucial to conduct thorough research and work with real estate professionals to make informed decisions.
If you need more detailed insights or assistance with specific neighborhoods in Sarasota, professional real estate services can provide tailored advice and support.

Investment property mortgage loans are financial products designed for individuals or entities looking to purchase real estate properties with the intention of generating rental income or capital appreciation. These loans are distinct from primary residence mortgages and come with different terms and requirements. Here are some key aspects to understand about investment property mortgage loans:
-
Types of Investment Property Loans:
- Conventional Loans: These are standard mortgage loans offered by banks and mortgage lenders. They typically require a higher down payment and have stricter qualification criteria compared to loans for primary residences.
- Government-Backed Loans: Some government programs, such as FHA (Federal Housing Administration) and VA (Department of Veterans Affairs), offer investment property loan options, but they often come with restrictions and may require the property owner to reside in one of the units.
-
Down Payment Requirements: Investment property loans typically require a larger down payment than primary residence loans. It’s common to see down payments in the range of 15% to 25% or more of the property’s purchase price. The exact requirement depends on the lender and loan program.
-
Interest Rates: Interest rates on investment property mortgage loans can be slightly higher than those for primary residences. Lenders often view investment properties as riskier, and this risk is reflected in the interest rate.
-
Loan Terms: Investment property loans typically come with fixed or adjustable interest rates and loan terms ranging from 15 to 30 years. The choice between fixed and adjustable rates depends on your risk tolerance and financial goals.
-
Rental Income Considerations: Lenders may consider the potential rental income from the property when determining your eligibility and the loan amount you qualify for. They may require rental income documentation, such as lease agreements, to verify rental income.
-
Credit and Income Requirements: Lenders will review your credit history, debt-to-income ratio, and overall financial stability when evaluating your loan application. Meeting credit and income requirements is crucial for approval.
-
Property Type: The type of investment property can affect loan eligibility and terms. Single-family homes, multi-unit properties (duplexes, triplexes, etc.), and commercial properties each have their own lending guidelines.
-
Property Location: The location of the investment property can also influence loan terms. Some lenders may have restrictions or offer different rates for properties in certain geographic areas.
-
Property Management: Lenders may inquire about your property management plans. Having a solid property management strategy in place can improve your loan application’s chances of approval.
-
Tax Implications: Investment properties may have tax benefits, such as deductions for mortgage interest, property taxes, and depreciation. It’s advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific tax implications of your investment property.
Before pursuing an investment property mortgage loan, it’s essential to conduct thorough research, assess your financial readiness, and consult with mortgage professionals to determine the best financing options for your real estate investment goals. Additionally, local real estate market conditions and regulations can impact your investment decisions, so it’s advisable to seek local expertise when investing in real estate.

Before we dive in, we want you to know that this blog took considerable effort to bring you. We’ve worked hard to present this housing investment scheme for you all.
Now, let’s talk about the NDIS Housing Scheme and whether it’s a smart investment in 2024.
What is NDIS Property Investment?
Investing in NDIS property involves purchasing or developing homes for NDIS participants with significant care needs. The term “Specialist Disability Accommodation” (SDA) refers to these homes, which are designed to meet various tenants’ needs. Here are the four main types:
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Designed for those with intellectual, cognitive, or sensory difficulties.
- Robust: Features are incredibly durable to ensure the safety of both residents and their caretakers.
- Fully Accessible: Intended for renters with physical disabilities.
- High Physical Support: For those with the greatest degree of physical disabilities, including features like voice control technologies and ceiling hoists.
Each type of SDA must adhere to strict architectural guidelines and provide amenities that enhance the quality of life for tenants and their caregivers.
Benefits of Investing in NDIS Properties
Investing in NDIS (SDA) properties can yield several advantages:
- Capital Growth: The potential for property value to increase over time.
- Regular Rental Income: Consistent rental income can help repay your home loan.
- Tax Deductions: You can deduct Investment property taxes from your total tax liability.
Additionally, NDIS property investment offers unique benefits:
- High Demand: Due to a shortage of NDIS properties, especially in many Australian regions, there is potential for greater capital growth.
- Government-Guaranteed Income: Once you find a tenant, you can expect long-term, stable income funded by their NDIS package.
- Higher Rental Returns: Double-digit returns are common due to high demand and government subsidies.
- Social Impact: Beyond financial gain, you’ll be improving the standard of living for individuals with disabilities, contributing to the community.
Conducting Due Diligence
Just like any investment, NDIS housing requires thorough due diligence. Here’s what to consider:
- Market Research: Investigate local market demand for SDA housing. Focus on areas with a shortage of certified NDIS homes.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with NDIS investment property guidelines and regulations.
How to Purchase NDIS Investment Property
Here are some tips to help you purchase an NDIS property:
- Research Growth & Market Rents: Understand the supply and demand dynamics of NDIS properties in different locations.
- Consult a Specialist: Work with a specialist real estate agent approved by the NDIS to find suitable listings and get guidance on laws, construction specifications, and financing.
- Buy Off the Plan: Ensure the property meets NDIS accessibility measures and be prepared for possible construction delays.
- Secure the Right Finance: Look for specialized NDIS property loans, but be ready for larger deposits (30–35% at times).
- Choose Location Wisely: Make sure the property is in a location that allows residents to engage actively in community life.
Risks & Considerations
Investing in NDIS properties comes with its own set of challenges:
- Limited Market: NDIS properties may not attract enough lenders for funding.
- Lower Loan to Value Ratio (LVR): Lenders’ mortgage insurance is not available, and lenders may only provide up to 80% of the property’s worth.
- Lower Property Valuation: Custom-built homes may be valued lower than the contract price.
- Rental Income Estimation: Lenders may not fully recognize the higher rental income potential of NDIS properties, affecting loan approvals.
Is NDIS Investment Housing a Good Investment?
Purchasing an NDIS home offers a unique opportunity with both social and financial rewards. It’s important to thoroughly evaluate NDIS housing requirements and perform due diligence. With proper management, NDIS housing can be a profitable addition to your investment portfolio.
A Win-Win Scenario
Investing in SDA benefits both investors and NDIS participants. Participants get specially designed, secure, and comfortable homes that meet their needs, while investors receive substantial returns backed by the government. SDA housing combines strong social and ethical goals with the potential for a gross return on investment of up to 15%.
