AGENTS AND LOAN OFFICERS:  WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH A VA HOUSING BENEFITS ARE STABLE BUYERS WHO ARE DESERVING OF THE BEST SERVICES THAT WE, AGENTS AND LOAN OFFICERS HAVE TO OFFER. 

VA FINANCING IS GOOD FOR ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY MEMBERS!

VA FINANCING IS GOOD BUSINESS FOR LENDERS!

VA FINANCING IS GOOD FOR THE HOUSING INDUSTRY!

VA FINANCING IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY! . 

VA BUYERS AVOID FORECLOSURE WITH A VA LOAN.   Veterans are more likely to avoid foreclosure with a VA-Backed Loan.

The success of the VA loans is attributed to the dedication to success of

• The VA's loan professionals
• Support of the mortgage industry, and
• Responsibility of Veteran home buyers and desire to maintain home ownership.

"VA is making good on its promise to help Veterans achieve the American dream of owning a home."  Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Eric K. Shinseki.

THE VA HOME LOAN.  There are about 1.3 Million active home loans financed by the VA Home Loan Guarantee Program.  VA home loans are available for Active Duty Military Members now serving, veteran military members and surviving spouses.  If the borrower fails to repay their mortgage loan, the program protects lenders from losses.

VA loan limits.  Generally, the no down payment loan follows the conventional "conforming" loan limit of $417,000.  However, for high cost areas across the country including Hiwaii and Alaska, the loan program permits no-down payment loans up to more generous amounts.  In my area of Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and most of Maryland, the maximum no down payment loan amount is $768,750.  

FOR HIGH COST AREAS, higher loan limits are available on the VA web page.

VA LOAN DELINQUENCIES ARE THE LOWESTof all loan types, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association National Delinquency Survey.  VA loans have the lowest delinquency rates for the last five consecutive quarters.  The VA loan specialists work hard to give Veterans every opportunity to remain in their home.  The VA specialists can, under certain circumstances intervene on behalf of the VA borrowers to arrange, repayment plans, forbearance and loan modifications.  If home retention is not possible, the VA can help arrange a sale, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, avoiding foreclosure. 

The VA home-loan guarantee program has been available to active duty and veteran borrowers since 1944 and has guaranteed more than 18.8 million home loans valued at more than $1.06 Trillion.

When Homefinders.com receives a telephone or e-mail inquiry from a prospective home buyers who has VA home financing benefits, we know that we'll be working with a serious, focused and cooperative home buyer.  The mortgage officers that specialize in VA Home loans are at the top of our referral list.

THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT FOR WOMEN CITIZEN VOTERS. 

Now for THE OUTRAGE OF 2010.

The MOVE Act, enacted last October, ensures that servicemen and women serving overseas have ample time to get in their absentee ballots. The result of the DOJ's alleged inaction in enforcing the act, say Eric Eversole and J. Christian Adams - both former litigation attorneys for the DOJ's Voting Section - could be that thousands of soldiers' ballots will arrive too late to be counted. . . . MORE.

Sadly, we may need a new Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to enable ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL to vote in November 2010. 

The government appears to be manipulating the process for military folks to vote making it impossible for them to get the forms and return them in time to BE COUNTED.

FRANKLIN PARK IN PURCELLVILLE, VIRGINIA - FISHING, SWIMMING, TENNIS and MUCH MORE.

NEVER BEEN FISHING??  GOODNESS, LET'S GO.

A wonderful fishing lake is right here in Purcellville in Loudoun County, Virginia.  It's right in FRANKLIN PARK just west of downtown Purcellville.  If you don't have a license, you can get one online.  Of course, if you need fishing gear and want to save some cash, visit Dicks Sporting Goods at Dulles Town Center Shopping. 

There are fish in Franklin Park Lake.  I've caught them.  I took a family with me one summer afternoon and Jack (2 years old) and Hanna (11 years old) caught lots of Bluegill.  You can fish from the banks or from the fishing piers on both sides of the lake.  The lake is stocked with Largemouth Bass and Bluegill, perfect fish for an afternoon of adventure for the youngsters. 

Careful Jack.  That hook is sharp.                                           Hanna can cast almost like a pro.

Catching fish at the lake in Franklin Park is easy from the fishing piers.  Dad enjoyed it too.

I use my trusty bamboo fly rod and even a little Bluegill is fun to catch. 

Franklin Park - offering 203 acres of rolling hills with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains since opening on July 4, 1998 with outdoor activities for individuals and groups and teams.


Welcome to a place for play and pleasure.

HOME INSPECTIONS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION ARE IMPORTANT, HOWEVER. . . . .

It is important that the home buyer(s) understand that, unlike most resale contracts, in new construction, there is no HOME INSPECTION CONTINGENCY.   The financing bank may have code or other inspections throughout for draws of money by the builder, but the buyer, even if they have purchased and own the lot, usually has no contingency.   So, for these and other reasons, periodic inspections for the buyer are as important for new construction as well as resales. 

Home buyers with previous home buying experiences may have had seller corrected defects.  However, new construction is a different world since "operating condition" is not usually the basis for defects, it's the actual construction of the property that may be defective. 

This is why I encourage new home buyers to have pre-scheduled inspections throughout the construction process.  Waiting until the home is completed could leave construction defects hidden behind drywall. 

My experience is that, while building superintendents are not overly friendly with home inspectors, builders will take documented defects quite seriously.  Let the builder know in the contract phase that you WILL hire an outside inspector.  You just might get a better house.

HOME INSPECTIONS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION ARE IMPORTANT, HOWEVER. . . . .

Jay Markanich an experienced home inspector in Northern Virginia, offers good advice for new home buyers.  Have your new home inspected by an experienced new home inspector.  Good advice, however, it is also important that new home buyers work with an experienced new home Buyers' Agent.

NO HOME INSPECTION CONTINGENCY.  One critical matter that a buyer's agent is likely to convey to a new home buyers is the fact that, new home contracts of sale are written by attorneys for the builder.  In that process, new home contracts are often silent on the matter of buyer's home inspections.

It is important that the home buyer(s) understand that, unlike most resale contracts, in new construction, there is no HOME INSPECTION CONTINGENCY.   The financing bank may have code or other inspections throughout for draws of money by the builder, but the buyer, even if they have purchased and own the lot, usually has no contingency.   So, for these and other reasons, periodic inspections for the buyer are as important for new construction as well as resales. 

BUYING A NEW HOME IS NOT THE SAME AS BUYING A RESALE.  Home buyers with previous home buying experiences may have had seller corrected defects.  However, new construction is a different world since "operating condition" is not usually the basis for defects, it's the actual construction of the property that may be defective. 

This is why I encourage new home buyers to have pre-scheduled inspections throughout the construction process.  Waiting until the home is completed could leave construction defects hidden behind drywall. 

WHOM DOES THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE REPRESENT?  In my experience, after selling dozens of new homes, while building superintendents are often not overly friendly with home inspectors, the builders will take documented defects quite seriously.  Let the builder know in the contract phase that you will hire an outside inspector.  You just might get a better house.  In time and with experience, buyers' agents learn builders in their area who are cooperative with home inspectors and those that are not.  It isn't unusual for the builders' representative, who represents the builder, to advise a buyer that "You don't need to pay for a home inspection.  The county inspects the house throughout the building phase."  While that is true, county code inspectors inspect for safety, not necessarily quality of construction.  We've had home inspection reports with several pages of construction deficiencies that were not noted by the county code inspectors.
