Mt. Hood: Investor Lending to Change Parameters!

by Liz Warren

If you are considering using an investor loan to purchase properties in the Mt. Hood area of Brightwood, Welches, Rhododendron and Government Camp consider this, If your lender is selling their loan to Fannie Mae they are going to add on substantial fees to your loan after December 1st. Depending upon your downpayment, these fees could be anywhere from 3 to4% and maybe even greater. Some private mortgage insurers may stop insuring investor loans altogether.

So, if you are an investor you should find your property now and lock your rate in the next six weeks and close before December 1st to insure you don't get caught with higher fees or the inability to buy at all!

New Restrictions on Condo Lending

by Liz Warren

If you are looking at condos in the Welches, Rhododendron, Brightwood and Government Camp areas you will need to know the new future lending requirements on Condo projects. This may affect Golden Poles, Thunderhead Lodge, Eidelweiss, Sno-Bird, Collins Lake and Grand Lodges, Fairway Estates, Clear Hills, and Shadow Hawk condo units.

Rules are coming down the pike that if investors own more than 49% of the units, in other words, if they are not owner occupied or second homes, the project may not qualify for convenetional financing.

I am not sure of trhe exact date this may happen but be advised that we may see many owner carried contract sales in the future.

Mt. Hood Friday Inspiration

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"It is a simple procedure to calculate the number of seeds in an apple. But, who among us can say how many apples there are in a seed?"

~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

WANT ABUNDANCE IN YOUR LIFE?

Who among us would answer "NO" to that question? Yet abundance often seems beyond our reach. We see it in others, but do not believe it is in us. We see ourselves as the apple (limited), rather than the seed (limitless).

So, what's the first step on the road to abundance? Wayne Dyer thinks it is giving thanks - for what you already have. That might include good health, a new baby on the way, loving parents, a career you enjoy, or money in the bank. You do have a few things going for you - right?

Just as the potential of the seed in the apple is limitless, so is your ability to attract abundance. By focusing on what you already have, you begin to deny what you don't. Your attention is drawn away from the scarcity in your life - and towards the abundance that already exists in your world.

You may be thinking that when you achieve abundance, you will finally be complete. Therein lies the surprise - that you are already complete. You are never going to get it all, because you have it all already. That's right. If you are not currently thankful for the good in your life, having more of it will make no difference.

The secret to abundance then lies within you. Place your thoughts squarely on what you already have, be grateful, and it will expand beyond your wildest dreams. Believe you have nothing until you get more, and you will spiral endlessly downward in despair at how unjustly the world is treating you.

Want abundance in your life? Think about it!
