HOPING TO BUY A HOME?

3 WAYS TO UP YOUR CREDIT GAME

Planning to purchase a home in the next year?

Don’t let poor credit dash your hopes!

Subprime credit—generally between 300 and 600 on the VantageScore scale—can inhibit a buyer’s ability to secure a mortgage. Recent research from TransUnion, one of the three major credit bureaus, shows many first-time buyers, particularly millennials, are lacking in the credit department: 43 percent of would-be millennial buyers surveyed by the agency have a subprime credit score.

“Credit scores are a crucial component of the home-buying process, impacting everything from the size of a mortgage payment to the interest rate on a home loan,” says Ken Chaplin, TransUnion’s senior vice president. “People with subprime credit may face financial barriers to homeownership, making it difficult for their dream home to become a reality.

“The home-buying process begins well before you start looking for real estate,” adds Chaplin. “A credit score, which significantly impacts the home financing process, is built on good spending habits and a pattern of responsible borrowing established over a lifetime.”

To better your financial circumstances—and your chances of being approved for a mortgage— Chaplin advises the following tips: CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT FIRST

Mortgage lenders will look at your credit report and score when you apply for a mortgage. To catch issues before they do, check your report three months before starting the home-buying process. Bear in mind your credit score is built over a lifetime of spending. Keep an eye on your score and track how your spending habits affect it.

BUILD CREDIT

Those with low or no credit must build a healthy credit score.

This includes paying all bills on time each month and maintaining a low credit utilization ratio, which is a ratio of how much credit you use out of your available credit limit. Other ways to build credit include factoring existing payments into your report, such as student loans (automatically included) and rent.

18TREB036_CL_Issue43_FullSizev5.indd 1

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Research mortgages and interest rates. While placing a larger down payment will lower your monthly mortgage payment, don’t put down more than you can afford. Keep in mind, also, that you will need money for closing costs, including a home inspection, before you can purchase your home.

Remember, Chaplin says, that improving your credit can take time. If your finances aren’t in shape for a home now, that doesn’t mean homeownership isn’t a realistic goal for the future. Talk to a reputable mortgage lender to discuss your options, even if you have a lower credit score, there might be a loan that is right for you. Mortgage insurance is another possibility; borrowers with a low credit score may need to pay for mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance lowers the risk to the lender of making a loan to you, so you may be able to qualify for a loan that you might not otherwise be able to get.

Fall Maintenance FOR YOUR RENTAL PROPERTIES

By Brentnie Daggett Editor’s Note: This was originally published on RISMedia’s blog, Housecall. See what else is cookin’ now at blog.rismedia.com.

Do you own a rental property or several rental properties? Routine maintenance will ensure that your properties are protected from the harsh fall and winter elements, and most can be done without detracting too much from your time or pocketbook.

Begin With a Tenant Check-In

Complete Indoor Maintenance

It’s important to consistently check in with tenants and ensure that they are maintaining the rental unit to lease standards. Seasonal maintenance is the perfect time to inspect the unit for issues that should be addressed. Ask tenants if they have questions or concerns.

Windows and Doors: Apply weather stripping or caulk to any needed areas along windows and doors. This will prevent against overtaxing your heating system on those blustery fall days, and will keep your tenant’s utility bills down, ensuring satisfaction with the unit.

Checking in is also the best way to establish open communication. Good communication is the foundation of a healthy tenant-landlord relationship.

Not to mention, when a tenant feels that there is a direct line of communication, they are much more likely to report on a minor but time-sensitive issue before it becomes an expensive repair.

Fireplace: If your unit has a fireplace, check that the chimney is swept and free of debris. A blocked chimney is an easily avoidable a fire hazard and a smoke inhalation risk. If you don’t already have one, take the time to install an animal-proof chimney cap to prevent further blockage from nesting critters.

18TREB036_CL_Issue43_FullSizev5.indd 2

7/31/18 12:40 PM

Smoke and CO Alarms: Regardless of whether you require your tenants to change the batteries, it is crucial to check that they have indeed kept up with the task, and, moreover, did not remove them altogether. Ensure your tenant’s safety—and your legal protection—by ensuring that the alarms are in working order.

Trees and Shrubs: Now is an excellent time to trim any branches or vegetation that touches the exterior of the building, as they can lead to damage over time. Protect your investment and ensure that all foliage is maintained before the wet season gets in way.

Attic: Check your attic’s insulation. Poor insulation can lead to expensive roof repairs. Inspect for signs of small animals that can sneak in looking for a warm place to nest—they can destroy crucial insulation that prevents against ice-damming on your roof.

Hire a Professional

Complete Exterior Maintenance

Animal-Proofing: Attics and basements are very enticing to rodents and small animals who seek shelter from the cold weather. The Humane Society has recommendations to prevent nesting in your property: ensure animals are not inside the home already (you don’t want to seal them in) and then caulk small holes and staple hardware cloth over larger holes. To stand up against stronger animals, opt for 16-gauge, 1x1 steel mesh.

Gutters: Fall leaves can lead to clogged gutters.

Clogged gutters can create ice dams in freezing weather, and this can cause the gutters to break entirely. Trim trees or install gutter guards where necessary to ensure that your gutters will appropriately channel water away from the property and prevent water damage to the foundation or structure.

Stairwells, Walkways and Patios: Verify that all supports, stairs, and handrails are secure. Make sure that the handrails can support a person who is slipping due to rain or sleet.

Irrigation Systems: Fall weather means that sprinkler systems can often be reset, since seasonal rains will keep the foliage appropriately hydrated.

Follow your manufacturer’s instructions to winterize your sprinkler and irrigation systems. This will protect the functionality of the system and ensure your property looks its best.

AC Units: Depending on where your rental unit is located, be prepared to wrap the outside box units in order to protect it from rust or weather damage.

For some costly items on your list, it will pay to have a professional inspect them. Big-ticket items like your HVAC system and your roof should be inspected yearly to ensure that any slight damage is dealt with proactively, before a serious issue occurs.

HVAC Have it serviced, inspected and cleaned. Proper maintenance will extend the life of the furnace, so be sure to remind your tenants to change the filters.

To be certain the task is done, consider supplying some extra filters yourself. This makes the task simple for tenants, and is a minor expense for you compared to an expensive system replacement.

Roof Extreme temperatures and general exposure to the elements can wreak havoc on your property’s roof.

Have a licensed, certified roofing professional inspect the condition of your roof. Simple repairs like loose or damaged shingles can lead to water exposure that can lead to deterioration of insulation, wood and drywall, or make electrical or plumbing systems vulnerable. It’s much simpler to deal with a repair now than an emergent leak come winter.

Seasonal maintenance is a chore, but being proactive will ensure that your rental property remains in good shape and your investment is protected for years to come.

Creating Appeal: 8 HOME STAGING TIPS THAT WORK

By Barbara Pronin

First impressions count – and experienced real estate professionals know that a clean, attractively organized home will pique buyer interest and sell more quickly than its neighbors.

“Clients tend to focus not on what the house could potentially become, but on how it looks on their first walkthrough,” said Kathy Murphy, a top-performing agent with in Royal Oak, Mich. “If the front door is peeling, or the kitchen is a mess, that’s the way they will remember it.”

Staging a home to show at its best can make a remarkable difference. That’s why most agents work with their sellers to help create maximum appeal. Effective home staging can be accomplished without excessive effort or expense. The work should begin before the listing photos are taken, so that buyers are intrigued when they view the home online.

Listing agents can broaden their staging know-how with these tips from home staging experts: 1. START AT THE STREET

5. KEEP IT NEUTRAL

Curb appeal is more than a catchphrase. Advise your sellers to be sure the lawn is mowed, flowerbeds are neat, bikes and trash cans are stashed away. Paint, replace, or clean the front door as needed, and set off a drab entry area with a potted plant or two.

Sellers love their collections of figurines or bowling trophies, but buyers need to envision the home filled with the things they love. A savvy seller will keep it simple and consider repainting colorful interior walls in neutral tones.

2. GET RID OF CLUTTER Most homes have too much furniture and far too many accessories. Suggest your seller rearrange the furniture to create better traffic flow, and consider putting a quarter of it in storage. Thin out bookcases and closets, because jam-packed spaces give the impression they are too small.

3. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN Kitchens and bathrooms should be scrubbed and counters kept clear. Wet towels, hair dryers, and dishes in the sink are a no-no. If heavy cleaning is a burden to the seller, suggest an affordable cleaning crew to clean the carpets and make the windows sparkle – even steam-clean a dingy exterior.

4. FIX WHAT’S BROKEN A leaky faucet or a wobbly railing may not seem like a big deal, but it makes buyers wonder what else is wrong with the home.

18TREB036_CL_Issue43_FullSizev5.indd 4

6. FRESHEN THE ENTRYWAY The second most important impression begins just inside the front door. Lights should be on, the area neat, and a vase of fresh flowers on a foyer table is a nice touch.

7. REMEMBER THE BACK YARD Be sure it’s tidy and that the swimming pool, if there is one, is sparkling clean.

8. ON SHOWING DAYS A pot of potpourri simmering on the stove and a dining table set with attractive tableware are inviting and cost-effective touches.

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR AUTUMN: MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR THE END OF SUMMER

BY ANITA ALVAREZ

It’s almost time. Sigh. Summer is drawing to a close, like it or not.

Before the leaves fall and the wind turns chilly, it’s a good idea to do some seasonal maintenance on your home. Here are some things to add to your fall “honey-do” list.

HAVE YOUR FURNACE INSPECTED. It’s smart to have your heating system serviced before you actually need to use it. Experts say that as much as 75 percent of the calls they receive about homeowners without heat are a result of not having the furnace serviced and cleaned. It will also keep your heating costs down and help keep the air in your home healthy.

INSPECT YOUR INSULATION. The most important area to check

INSPECT YOUR ROOF. You’ll want to check for shingles that are

flourish. Check locations such as around leaky pipes, basements, or areas that don’t get good ventilation. You will want to remove the mold as soon as possible. It’s wise to have this done by a professional.

cracked, buckling, or missing. Check for caulking that needs to be replaced, or moss or lichen, which could indicate deterioration underneath. If you don’t trust your own assessment, work with a certified inspector.

CHECK THE AIRFLOW. Focus on areas like vents, the hood over

your stove, dryer vents, baseboard heaters and room fans. Not only is a buildup of dust a fire hazard, but you also want to keep the air flowing and the allergens at bay.

GET CONTROL OF GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS. Clogs in gutters

and downspouts can cause the roof to leak, which can lead to a host of other problems. It’s a slippery slope from clogged gutters to water damage in your home!

is your attic. You should have the highest concentration of insulation here. See if there are any gaps that need to be filled. You don’t need to check the insulation in your walls unless you notice heating issues.

CHECK FOR MOLD. The humidity of summer can cause mold to

LOOK OVER YOUR SIDING. You’ll want to look for any areas on vinyl siding that are buckled or warped. If you have wood siding, look for curling, splitting or cracking. Should you find an issue, you’ll definitely want it taken care of before the weather gets cold!

MAKE SURE YOUR DETECTORS ARE WORKING. Ensure both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have fresh batteries. It’s smart to test them, also. Both are especially important once your furnace is in use.

REPLACE WEATHERSTRIPPING ON DOORS. There could be gaps that

Each season brings its own challenges and wear-and-tear on your home. With summer ending and autumn on the way, you can go into the new season secure that your home is in tip-top shape!

ventilation, so the best time to tackle a paint spruce-up is the time of year when you can open up your windows.

FIVE FALL CURB APPEAL IMPROVEMENTS Fall is here, and with it comes a prime time to sell your home. Summer is a great time to sell, but if you weren’t able or ready to list your home at that time, the fall is a great option as well.

And as lovely as your home may be, there are always things you can do to take it to the next level, especially when it comes to curb appeal. Fitting in a few simple exterior home improvements can add value to your home before the weather turns cold, helping to snag those end-of-season real estate browsers. So what upgrades can you make that are easy, cost-effective and will make potential buyers “fall” in love with your home this season?

Here are a few tips: Front door décor – The front door leaves a lasting first impression of your house. While completely replacing the front door is an option, simply sanding and repainting your existing door can make a big difference and save on costs. A bright or bold color like red can really make your door pop, especially against a white or tan exterior. For a little extra: Add a nice fall foliage wreath, or a doorknocker to accentuate your home’s entrance.

Sync hardware – Mismatched exterior hardware can make your home appear disheveled and create a non-cohesive aesthetic. By streamlining your house numbers, lock, door handle and exterior light fixtures with matching finishes, you can give your home a consistent, put-together look in less than a day without a large investment. For a little extra: Upgrade your lock with a high-end deadbolt with cover plate for added curb appeal and security.

18TREB036_CL_Issue43_FullSizev5.indd 6

7/31/18 12:40 PM

Great greenery – A well maintained lawn can tie together the overall look of the outside of your house, presenting a clean and sleek front to accompany your home’s entrance. With fall being a transition time for many plants, adding mums or ornamental grasses in hearty autumn colors like gold or orange to complement changing leaves can bring depth to your yard. For a little extra: Add reusable window boxes and porch containers filled with gourds, cornstalks and leaves to create an autumn feel.

Light the way – A well-designed walkway leading to your front door can make your home seem even more warm and inviting.

Make sure the path is well lit by installing outdoor lighting that not only provides illumination and value, but also security. For those without a walkway, installing a lamppost or lantern at the end of our driveway is a good option. For a little extra: Incorporate solar lights along your front door walkway for an easy and cost-effective makeover that is also energy efficient.

Make-over your mailbox – Sitting at the end of the driveway, the mailbox is often forgotten about when it comes to your outdoor décor.

Making sure your mailbox complements your look and feel is yet another way to catch the eye of a potential buyer. If you don’t live in an area with strict rules, spruce up your standard letter holder with trim, new paint or fancy finish (and steer clear of novelty sport or hobby mailboxes).

Pay attention to the mailbox post as well. If the wood is weathered or showing signs of rot, it should be replaced. Consider a post made out of polymer, treated wood, iron, bronze, or even brick. For a little extra: Add a trellis behind the mailbox for extra landscaping and a pop of color.

Preparing your home for sale, especially as the busy summer season is ending, can seem stressful, but with a few quick, easy and cost-effective improvements you can increase your home’s curb appeal no matter the season, especially in the fall. Doing so will boost your home’s value and attract more potential buyers, which will help the stress of selling your home slip away!

FACTORS THAT PUT YOUR HOME AT RISK OF A BREAK-IN Did you know that sixteen percent of Americans have experienced a home break-in? From open windows to a lack of alarm, there are a myriad of reasons that could put your home at risk. Below are the top five, in order, according to DIY home phone and security company Ooma.

NEIGHBORHOOD OR SURROUNDINGS

Nearly a quarter of American homes are at risk simply based on their neighborhood or surrounding neighborhoods. Now, just because you might live in an area like this doesn’t mean you have to, or should, up and move. But contacting your local home security company to do an analysis and find the best home security system for you is a great start.

16%

NO ALARM

Failing to install a home security system is the second leading cause of a home invasion, results show. If you can’t afford an alarm system, placing a sign by your door claiming that you’re protected may help sway cautious burglars.

14%

AN UNLOCKED DOOR

While only fourteen percent of Americans who have experienced a burglary say an open door was the cause, nearly 42 percent leave their doors unlocked, which is just begging for a (not so forced) entry. So please, lock your doors.

18TREB036_CL_Issue43_FullSizev5.indd 8

8%

AN OPEN WINDOW

Windows come second to open doors. Never leave ground floor windows open when you leave the house, and make sure they are locked when you are away or asleep. Burglars can open them from the outside.

7%

LIVING IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING

Simply living in an apartment building ups your chance of a break in, as housing units see more foot traffic, and can be easier for strangers to enter without suspicion. Look for a building with front entrance security measures, like an ID swipe, fob entry, key code, or doorman.

Minimize your risk for a break-in by making sure you always lock your windows and doors. Installing a double bolt is a great added step as well. But to really insure your and your home’s security and wellbeing, contact a reputable home security company to install a home security system in your home.
