I have seen a few blog posts stating that Fannie Mae is offering special Homepath financing on the properties that they own.  You can find properties that qualify for the home path mortgage HERE. Most of the time if the property qualifies for this loan it will be noted on the MLS sheet.  Recently one of the buyers I've been working with emailed me a link to a home that qualifies.  I had them preapproved to go FHA.  We went to the house and looked around.  It didn't take long to realize that in its current condition this house could not go FHA.  The problems were the following - Leaking roof, hot water heater not connected/didn't work, furnace from a company so old not even the contractor could identify it, and signs of some water issues in the master bath (unrelated to the roof). Thanks... 08/31/2009

In our current economic situation, it's not just houses that are falling into foreclosure. I have written before about shopping centers and other commercial locations that are being foreclosed but this is a first for me. The Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Country Club, located in a very historic area, is being sold at sheriff's sale on January 9, 2009. The club has been unable to attract enough new membership to pay off a $2.9 million loan for renovations completed two years ago and actually closed it's doors in May 2008. The story from the Carlisle Sentinel: "The 60-year-old Gettysburg Country Club is slated to be sold at a sheriff's sale next month after a rescue of the troubled organization failed.Susquehanna Banks, which foreclosed on the property, is seeking a minimum of $2.9 million whe... 12/26/2008

The front page of the Gettysburg times today read that Gettysburg Homeowners would face 2,500 to 10,000 dollar sidewalk repair bills in order to comply with the ADA. The streets listed as first priority are the following. Pape Alley, Baltimore St, W. Middle St, Chambersburg St, Middle St, Washington St, High St, and Breckenridge St.  A list of contractors will be supplied by the Gettysburg Borough.   According to Borough Code.  The owner will have 30 days to comply.  Meaning that there must be some sign of progress at the end of the 30 day period. The Borough is aware that many of the people in the town are on fixed budget and suggest that people should start saving.  I am sure many of you know that Gettysburg is a Historic town.  There are two people that are disabled activists that ha... 10/28/2008

You've seen, many times I'm sure, celebrations where Kings, Queens, Brides, and other special honorees are paraded through the public arena preceded by cute little very young ladies strewing rose petals along the path ahead of them as typically appropriate beautiful music accompanies and commemorates the event...   And so, along life's journeys, we are fortunate enough to witness some epiphanial events in our own lives...perhaps not so formal, perhaps not so grandiose, perhaps not so regalitarian...yet nevertheless memorable and significant in the real scheme of things...   Sunday and Monday were days when Gil, my son in law office manager and I attended Old Republic Title Insurance Company's annual Pennsylvania agency seminar...it was held in Gettysburg, Pa...the infamous Civil War bat... 09/25/2008
