Foothill Ranch FHA Approved Condos and Townhomes For Sale - Updated 10/28/2013 Foothill Ranch: There are four neighborhoods, or tracts, of homes designated as condominiums in Foothill Ranch.  Of the four neighborhoods of condos, three are attached condos/townhomes (Salerno, Vineyards, and Tuscany).  The remaining tract, Brittany, is a neighborhood of detached condominiums. As of October 11th, 2012 none of the four condo projects in Foothill Ranch are FHA approved.  This can change and I will monitor it closely. An Ounce Of Prevention: If you are planning on using an FHA loan to finance a condo it is vital to know ahead of time (before you waste time and effort touring homes that are not eligible) which tracts/neighborhoods of condos are FHA approved. There is no exception to this FHA ru...

Foothill Ranch Bank Owned Homes For Sale Alternatively known as "foreclosures" or "REO Properties" bank owned homes usually offer the astute buyer the ability to buy below current market values.  (Learn More: What Is An REO Property?) Although Foothill Ranch was less hard hit than other nearby communities by the mortgage/real estate meltdown that began in 2007 a slow but steady supply of bank owned homes have been available to buyers.  Although it remains a "buyer's market" in Foothill Ranch the bank owned homes that have come on the market are generally priced well below market value and multiple offer scenarios have become common.  My advice on bank owned homes... (don't worry, it's free!) Analyze the comps well.

If you own a home in Foothill Ranch and your loan modification has been denied you are not alone.  As bank's recover from the housing crisis with massive government assistance more and more distressed homeowner's in Foothill Ranch have been denied conventional and government backed loan modifications.  Why?  Because the Making Home Affordable program was not really designed to assist homeowners, it was truly intended to assist the banks.  It is time we accepted the truth about loan modifications.   Making Home Affordable Is Providing A False Sense Of Security Too Often. Admission into the trial modification phase of MHA does not mean you are in the clear!  Unfortunately less than 25% of all trial modifications initiated under the program have resulted in permanent loan modifications. (D...

Know Your Options Before Choosing Any Course Of Action. Explore Your Options Before They Are Removed. Lenders that have been slow to move towards foreclosure are streamlining and speeding up their foreclosure timelines. I've noticed that many people struggling with their mortgage payments avoid thinking about and addressing their options.  Often, until it is too late and many of their choices are no longer available. You do face some tough choices.  Do you stay in a home you may no longer be able to afford?  Or, do you leave your home in search of an alternative solution?  It is difficult to think about leaving your home but it may be the right option for you. Whatever you do, do not walk away from your home.  The most important thing you can do for your future is to avoid foreclosure a...

Foothill Ranch Real Estate - First-Time Buyer Program: First time homebuyers interested in purchasing in Foothill Ranch may wish to apply for a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC). The MCC Program is a federal tax credit program that allows you to take a federal income tax credit of up to 15% of the annual interest you pay on your home.  Because the MCC reduces your federal income taxes and increases your net earnings, it is helpful in qualifying you for your first home mortgage.  The MCC is registered with the IRS, and it continues to decrease your federal income taxes each year for as long as you live in your home.To qualify, a 1-2 person household may not earn more than $111,600 annually, and a 3 or more person household may not exceed $130,200.  The maximum purchase price for a home i...
