This was a beautiful house that sold for way under value because it had some problems.  This house was bank owned and sat on the market for 202 days before my clients bought it.  For the bargain basement price of $249,900, they got a 2800 square foot house with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a 2 car garage on almost 2 acres of land in Tolland, CT!  How did they get all that for that price, you ask?  Enter the 203K loan!  A 203K loan allows you to borrow up to $35,000 over the agreed sale price of the house to be used for repairs.  This house had been vacant for a long time but was still in great shape with one big problem.  Broken pipes.  After having a heating and plumbing contractor come in to evaluate the situation, my clients decide the reward would be worth the risk in this house.  A little extra work was done by all parties involved but in the end, these guys got a great new house for their family and as soon as the pipes are repaired, they're going to be swimming in equity!  

Do you have questions about how you can qualify for a 203K loan and make a cheap house your dream house?  Call me!   Build your kitchen or bath renovation right into you mortgage!  It opens so many possibilities.

Tips for Homeowners:  Dryer Maintenance...

2/1/2019

Dryers require regular simple maintenance to keep working safely & efficiently.

Why?  To avoid potential fire hazards and having to do costly repairs to your appliances.

How?  It goes without saying that you should clean your lint screen after every load of laundry. Keeping the filter clear will shorten the drying cycle, save you money, and prevent any potential fire hazards. It is also a good practice to regularly, but at least twice a year, remove the lint that accumulates at the bottom of the housing that holds your lint screen. You can generally use a vacuum cleaner's flat attachment to reach down in the housing to suck out anything that has accumulated in there. Finally, you should be cleaning out your dryer's exhaust duct using a dryer duct cleaning brush (it's a stiff bristled circular brush with a flexible handle that you can buy at most hardware stores) at least twice a year. The exhaust duct vents your dryers exhaust to the outside of your house and can become a fire hazard if not kept clear. Consider doing this more often (say monthly) if you do heavy amounts of laundry on a consistent basis. Many service providers sell regular service plans to handle this for you, so consider signing up for one.
