Many people like to purchase homes with acreage so they are not close to neighbors. Some homeowners have over 20 acres and are having difficulty getting financing on first or second-mortgage loans. Working on a case now where my client has a home on 81 acres, and there is not a single non-QM wholesale lender that will touch this property due to the large acreage the home sits on. The Veterans Affairs Administration will allow VA loans on large acreage if the property is not a working farm. In this thread, I like to go over financing a home that sits on acreage, what a working farm is, what the definition of a hobby farm is, and the loan options homeowners who want to buy or refinance on a home with acreage have. Luckily, I have a super cool client who is working with me on getting these obstacles answered. I have not yet encountered a single wholesale lender who will finance a first or second mortgage on homes larger than 10 acres.

Lately, we have seen many late payments in the past 12 months from mortgage loan applicants. I just got news from Alex Carlucci that he got clear to close on a manual underwritten FHA loan for a borrower with many late payments due to extenuating circumstances. Due to extenuating circumstances, Alex Carlucci got approved with tons of late payments in the past 12 months via manual underwriting.

There has been a trend in recent years of Americans moving from higher-cost, typically more liberal-leaning states to states with a lower cost of living, many of which lean more conservative. This is a complex issue that involves many factors beyond politics, including housing costs, job opportunities, taxation, quality of life, and climate.
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there’s been a significant outflow of residents from states like New York and California to states such as Texas, Florida, and Tennessee, among others. While these trends may be influenced by political preferences for some, it’s important to note that not everyone’s reasons for moving are political. Many people are likely motivated by economic factors such as the cost of housing and the job market.
It’s also worth mentioning that migration trends can change over time due to shifts in the economy, changes in state and local policies, and evolving societal attitudes. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected migration patterns as more people started working remotely, giving them more flexibility to live in places with a lower cost of living.
The impacts of such migration trends can be significant, affecting the economies, demographics, and political landscapes of both the states people are leaving and the ones they’re moving to. It can lead to shifts in political power, as reflected in the decennial redrawing of congressional district boundaries and the apportioning of seats in the House of Representatives.
To get the most current information, please refer to the most recent census data, state demographic data, or surveys from moving companies, as these sources can provide a more accurate and updated picture of migration trends.

This is a quick synopsis of what you absolutely need for and manufactured, mobile, or modular home purchase or refinance.
1. Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FHA, VA: The manufactured home must have been built on or after June 15, 1976. For single-wide & double-wide manufactured homes.2. It must be Real property (A clear chain of tile) The home cannot reside in a mobile home or RV park. It must be fixed to a concrete slab (slab on grade) by hurricane straps or wire ties. If fixed to pylons, you must ensure the appraiser notes how the home is fixed.
3. Engineering Certification. This must have been completed by the original owner or any previous owner. If there is no engineering certification, this will need to be done before closing. Schedule this at the same time you schedule the 1004C appraisal.
4. Make sure the realtor, homeowner, or appraiser locates the data plate from the manufacturer. This is crucial. If this cannot be found the homeowner should have a copy of the original closing docs, which will likely have the data plate serial number. If not, check with the title company, they may be able to locate it through title records. If that does not work , your last hope is with the county records.
4. All manufactured, mobile or modular homes can only be approved with a 20-year term. NO EXCEPTIONS! When entering data into your LOS, you set the term as custom (20 years).
Modular Homes: Modular homes must have an additional egress (Exit) other than the stairway if the home has a basement. The modular home must sit on a seal plate.
If you have all of these must-haves accounted for, you will have a much better chance to get a CTC.

Is Kamala Harris the best candidate The Democrats have to face former President Donald Trump for 2024 Presidential Election? Are the Democrats that desperate of having a semi-descent candidate for President? Do Democrats think the American people are that stupid? Do Democrats need to name Kamala Harris, the person who slept her way up the political latter? Kamala Harris slept with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown to kick off her political career. Kamala Harris is not too smart. Many people cannot believe how she even became a lawyer let alone District Attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, United States Senator, and Vice President of the United States. Now she is running for President? OMG. What has Kamala Harris ever achieved in her political career. Watch this video clip about Kamala Harris.

My application is currently in underwriting. I am concerned that because my student loans are so high that my DTI may not pass. I have found a home that is scheduled to close on 12/2. Honestly I did not see you site until after applying thru my current lender. Would you be able to take over the case and will I still be able to close on 12/2 or earlier? I am in Illinois and also seeking downpayment assistance from IDHA. The Home Inspection and Appraisal have all been completed. My student loans total 186k and I am currently in deferment, but the lender is saying that the payments are coming up to 1300 per month…but I am paying $0.00. My credit score middle is 643. Also I am currently employed but will start a new job in a week making more money. Can you help? What steps will I need to take.

For those who do not have a DIVVY CARD, I strongly suggest you request a DIVVY CARD through Marga. A DIVVY CARD is like a Corporate Debit CREDIT CARD. You can use it pre-tax for business-related expenses such as NMLS CE, NMLS LICENSING, CELL PHONE, OFFICE EXPENSES, MEALS on Recruitment and Realtor Partners, Fuel & Mileage, Marketing EXPENSES, Leads, Tools, Travel, Utilities for OFFICE, etc. You can start small and always increase when you see EXPENSES coming up. In our office, Carlucci, Dale, John Strange, Mike Gracz,, and all active independent loan officers sponsored by Team GCA should absolutely sign up for a DIVVY CARD IMMEDIATELY. Marga, please follow up on this urgent matter and keep a note to send out multiple reminders. I have this memo and updates posted on GCAFORUMS.COM.
Thank you.

I’m looking for a business model (investing in real estate in Chicago area). I would like to find a way to buy condos in a place where I will pay less for them and rent for more. It would be good to find a map with Property Price -> Renting Price relationships. I know that my friend used to buy a single-family home in Burbank for $80,000 and remodeled for $40,000, sold for $180,000. But I think there are better options there.
I’m in the process of a FHA Streamline Refinance, and the loan officer is requesting all these documents: W2’s, bank statements, pay stubs, etc., plus he’s pulled a credit check. Is this normal and required?
