What are the basic safety rules for handling firearms?

Can anyone tell me more about contract processing? I do not know how contract processing works and want to know how this concept will benefit my home buyer. I have been a real estate agent and managing broker for 25 years and have worked with dozens of loan officers over the years and never hear of such thing. Is it better for real estate agents to refer clients to mortgage brokers without contract processing? Do real estate agents connect with contract mortgage processors? Who pays for contract processing? Are contract mortgage processors competent and experienced? I think processing is the most important step throughout the mortgage process. Thank you in advance.

Buying a house in New Mexico, like purchasing property in any other state, involves several steps and considerations. Here is a general overview of the process:

1. Determine Your Budget:

   • Calculate how much you can afford to spend on a house. Consider your income, expenses, and any available savings for a down payment.

2. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage:

   • Contact a mortgage lender or a bank to get pre-approved for a home loan. This will give you a better idea of the price range you can consider.

3. Choose a Real Estate Agent:

   • Hiring a qualified real estate agent can be extremely helpful. They can provide insights into the local housing market, show you properties, and negotiate on your behalf.

4. Start House Hunting:

   • Begin searching for properties that meet your criteria, such as location, size, features, and price. You can use online listings, work with your agent, and visit open houses.

5. Make an Offer:

   • Once you find a house you like, you can make an offer through your real estate agent. Be prepared for negotiation with the seller.

6. Home Inspection:

   • It’s essential to have a professional home inspector evaluate the property’s condition to identify any potential issues or necessary repairs.

7. Appraisal:

   • The lender will require an appraisal to determine the fair market value of the property. This ensures that the property’s value matches the loan amount.

8. Secure Financing:

   • After your offer is accepted, work closely with your lender to finalize your mortgage application and secure financing.

9. Closing:

   • The closing process involves signing the final paperwork, transferring ownership, and paying closing costs. This typically takes place at a title company or attorney’s office.

10. Obtain Homeowners Insurance:

    • You’ll need to secure homeowners insurance before closing on the property.

11. Move In:

    • Once the closing is complete, you can take possession of the property and start moving in.

When buying a house in New Mexico specifically, here are a few state-specific considerations:

• Property Taxes: Research property tax rates and how they vary by location within New Mexico. Property tax rates can significantly affect your ongoing homeownership costs.

• Homeowners Association (HOA): If you’re purchasing a property in a planned community, check if there’s an HOA, as it may have specific rules, fees, and regulations.

• New Mexico Real Estate Market: Stay informed about the local real estate market trends, as they can affect property prices and availability.

• Legal Requirements: Consult with a real estate attorney to understand the legal aspects of buying property in New Mexico, including the closing process and any state-specific laws.

Remember that real estate transactions can vary, and it’s crucial to work with professionals like real estate agents, inspectors, and lenders to navigate the process successfully. Conduct thorough research and due diligence to ensure you make an informed decision when purchasing a house in New Mexico or any other location.

I was on a call, not sure which one about assignments. Commented, stating some lenders allow assignments, and buyers can close a loan with assignments. Did I hear it right? Like years ago, before Obama, my husband was flipping.

He helped a friend out, and we did some work. The buyer did a conventional loan. I did not do the loan. We did back-to-back closings,

Assignments have really gone crazy here. So, the state made some new rules because of it.

I personally think one was getting taken advantage of.

So I am asking that the form you provided us from Utah is awesome.

Can one do an assignment on a standard conventional loan? If so, I figured it would be just a few investors. How do I find them?

I am seeing opportunities with our new products. Where I may get a chance to get a foot in the door. My old-school investors, are now running investment groups and doing classes and things with them. A few of them are on a national level.

I will talk to you later about that and a few other things.

I am terrible at email.

Absolutely 💯. I am a strong believer of positive criticism and not compliments. That’s how you learn and get better. A lot of people can’t take criticisms. With compliments most people take it to a new arrogance level. However, compliments are well served for people who deserve compliments. Kevin DeLory and Eddy G Perez Jr. Deserve respect and compliments for setting the foundation of EPM. There’s a reason why a mortgage company produces great employees like Christian Sorenson. It’s folks like Christian Sorenson that make a great company. It’s due to a strong foundation. Great leadership makes a great company and differentiates from the mediocre competition. Competition never sleeps. Thanks for everything you do Mr. Perez and Mr. DeLory. Giving us loan officers the opportunity to do tough loans gives the dream of homeownership become a reality for hard working Americans. You guys are the true silent heroes who are appreciated and not taken for granted. Love all your inspirational videos, sir. Don’t stop being you. Never try to miss Mr. DeLory’s videos no matter how hectic my day is.

Money is not wealth. Money comes and goes. However, you need to realize how many millionaires lost everything they have and had to restart over. Wealth is relationships. You cannot take that away. However you need two people who are committed to make the relationship work.

The taxes in the state of NJ are just out of control. This is not sustainable and people are leaving. Businesses are also leaving and with the tax revenue leaving the state, the entire burden will rest on the shoulders of the middle class.

At some point, property values are simply going to decline sharply.
