Mt. Hood Log Cabin In Timberline Rim

Saturday, October 5, 2013
by Liz Warren

Bart's cabin is a stunning log cabin across the street from the Sandy River in Timberline Rim. A well built log home with one large master bedroom and a cozy loft for guests. High vaulted ceilings with skylights, paned windows, and a beautiful stone fireplace make this a special place. Perfect for vacation cabin or full time living. It sits on a third of an acre so plenty of room to spread out. A log garage is detached from the cabin and serves as a one car garage and shop area for toys or woodworking.

Mt. Hood Home Buyers

Saturday, October 5, 2013
by Liz Warren

If you're currently in a transaction in the Mt. Hood area, or starting one, and are getting an FHA, VA, USDA or conventional loan, you might be wondering what the current government shut down is doing to your loan and transaction. Read about NAR's summary of the delays for each loan and the impact it will have on your purchase. Which government services are having an impact on your loan?  The IRS and social security divisions are needed for many types of loans so this "might" cause delays. USDA loans are dead in the water. Current processing times for USDA are already three weeks out so this could cause even more of these loans to have long delayed closings!
