Real Estate Financing Options

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 27, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

T

he decision to buy a home is significant.

Real estate is the biggest investment the average person will make in his or her lifetime, which underscores just how significant the home buying decision can be.

The real estate experts at Zillow recently reported that the national median price of a home in the United States is $272,446.

However, since the National Association of Realtors reported a record low housing inventory late in 2020, the average house price has been rising rapidly nationwide. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis estimates the median home sales price at $374,900, and certain states have much higher prices. WOWA, a real estate and finance technology company, says the average sale price of a home in Canada was $679,051 in July 2021.

Most people do not have $300,000 to $600,000 in savings on hand to purchase a home in cash. That means they’ll need to rely on financing to pay for their dream homes.

Conventional lending Conventional lending refers to when a bank or another financial institution loans a home buyer money to buy a home. This is one of the most common ways to fund a home purchase.

Personal credit score as well as credit history help determine eligibility and interest rates for conventional loans.

Availability of assets as well as income level are some additional determining factors. Conventional loans are traditionally 10-, 15- or 30-year notes and will require a certain percentage as the down payment to secure the loan. The bank will determine the down payment requirement, which is typically somewhere between 3 and 20 percent.

FHA loan A Federal Housing Administration loan is issued by an FHA-approved lender. These loans are designed for low-to-moderate-income borrowers, according to the financial guide Investopedia. FHA loans require lower

weaving to reflect upon identity and community building.

Singh presented the workshop to other art teachers from across the country at the National Art Educators Association’s 2022 National Conference, held in New York City on March 3-5. Participants

created an autoethnographic poem and visual imagery on a strip of fabric. The strips were then interlaced as an essential part to building a collective tapestry while opening a dialogue about equity, inclusion and community building through art.

HELOC A Home Equity Line of Credit, commonly called a HELOC loan, borrows against the available equity in your home to create a line of credit, much like a credit card.

These funds can be used for large expenses or to consolidate higher-interest rate debt on other loans, according to Bank of America. It may be possible to use a HELOC to secure funding to make improvements to a home for those who want to flip it as an investment property.

Private money lenders Individuals investing in real estate who do not intend to use a property as a primary residence may turn to private money lenders. These investors can tap into capital from personal connections and lend at specified interest rates and payback periods, according to Fortune Builders, a real estate investing resource. Keep in mind the interest rate will likely be higher with a private lender than through a conventional lender. The repayment term also will be shorter.

VA-backed loan The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has a program for acquiring loans through conventional lenders that will be partially guaranteed against loss through the VA. This enables a lender to give better loan terms, such as the option to pay no down payment. Interested parties need to qualify for a Certificate of Eligibility and then work with qualified lenders.

People have several options to finance the purchase of a home. These loans can help make the dream of home ownership a reality. Potential buyers are urged to speak with mortgage professionals or financial planners to consider their options.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF ISLIP HAMLET - On Wednesday, April 13th, the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet hosted author Bill Bleyer who gave a very informative talk on "Sagamore Hill: Theodore Roosevelt's Summer White House". Attendees got an inside look at the life and times of this magnificent home. What began as a summer getaway during Mr. Roosevelt's presidency became a meeting place for the movers, shakers, and other luminaries of that era. Society board members are shown with Mr. Bleyer (center). For more information on our May program and the July Garden Walk, visit www.isliphamlethistory.org, or call 631-559-2915.

The Most Appealing Outdoor Features

ccording to the National Association of Realtors, the 10 most appealing outdoor features to potential home buyers are: standard lawn care, overall landscape upgrades, a new patio, new wood deck, softscaping, sod lawn, seed lawn, outdoor firepit, outdoor fireplace and of course, a new pool.

Expanding Living Spaces inviting spaces no matter how much square-footage is present.

A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update.

In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining.

Create a relaxing nook

Rather than turning a storage area into a catch-all for items time forgot, clean out the space and put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and backyard guests need to seek shelter.

Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space.

Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat.

Add privacy to a porch If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true three-season room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer.

Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.

Historical Society Of Islip Hamlet And The Islip Public Library Co-Sponsoring A Program Titled "Plum Island: A World Unto Itself"

omeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces.

Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable.

Hope for Youth is an Amityville-based, notfor-profit organization that works to facilitate positive change in the lives of Long Island children, youth and families.

In this article we focus on their vital role in promoting foster care across Long Island.

As next month is quickly approaching, it is appropriate to mention that May is National Foster Care Month, an initiative conducted through the US Department of Health and Human Services. The month is devoted to “ensuring a bright future for more than 407,000 children and youth in foster care.” The average age is 8 years old for those children, and there is just about an event split between how many of them are boys and how many are girls.

The month acknowledges foster parents, family members, volunteers, policymakers and others who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections.

Friday, May 13th • 10am-11:30am, 11:30am-1pm, 1pm-2:30pm, 2:30pm-4pm Saturday, May 14th • 9am-10:30am, 10:30am-12pm

Nationwide, 45 percent of foster children reside in a foster family home with a nonrelative, while 34 percent are with a foster family home with a relative. For 54 percent of foster children, the goal is to reunite the child with a parent or primary caretaker.

The goal is adoption for 28 percent.

For further information or to reserve a time slot, please call JoAnn at 631-348-1389 or email her at frontoffice@pal-o-mine.org

On Long Island, Hope For Youth is a central player in the identification and training of foster families. All Hope For Youth foster families receive multiple certifications in parenting skills.

Foster parents take part in mandated educational workshops throughout the course of the year.

Parking for Job Fair:

The organization places children in the most appropriate and nurturing home settings for their recovery and healing, all geared toward permanency and stabilization. By providing the best opportunity for successful placement, Hope For Youth also prevents multiple placements. They also emphasize the role that relative and kinship caregivers

899 Old Nichols Road, Islandia, NY 11749

400546N042722

play in the child welfare system and helps children and youth stay connected to their family, their community and their cultural roots if they are unable to safely remain at home.

The team members at Hope For Youth are keenly aware of the unique role that kinship caregivers play in working to achieve reunification for children and youth in foster care. This focus helps to keep moving the system toward one that truly supports families.

The organization also participates in “Wendy’s Wonderful Kids,” part of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

Under this program, Hope For Youth has two adoption recruiters who bring children waiting to be adopted from foster care closer to safe, loving and permanent homes. The Foundation’s adoption recruitment model has proven effective nationwide in serving children who’ve been in foster care the longest.

Hope For Youth is always looking for new foster parents. They also welcome volunteer and charitable donations to help advance its foster care work, and to advance all of its programming in support of children Island-wide who deserve more stable and fulfilling lives.

They invite you to contact them at 516691-5100 or visit www.hfyny.org for more information.

Meet Islip High School’s 2022 Valedictorian And Salutatorian

Islip High School’s Class of 2022 valedictorian and salutatorian are Timothy Mak and Anthony Lopez, respectively. The pair are best friends and have supported each other in reaching this pinnacle of high school academic achievement.

Mak, who earned a 106.19 weighted GPA, serves as vice president of the school’s National Honor Society, president of the Interact Club and co-president of Mathletes. An AP Scholar with Distinction, he also serves as a junior commissioner of Keep Islip Clean Club and plays on the school’s varsity tennis team. In his spare time, Mak is a junior instructor and seconddegree black belt in mixed martial arts. He has not yet decided which college he will attend, but plans to major in finance/accounting.

“It’s been a lot of work since eighth grade,” Mak said. “Growing up with all my friends through this journey, and Anthony being my best friend since middle school, we worked together and through it, so it’s not really work. It’s doing something you enjoy and moving on to the next chapter of your life. I’m excited to see what the future holds for us.”

Lopez, who earned a 105.13 weighted GPA, serves as president of the school’s World Language Honor Society, captain of the Science Olympiad team and co-president of Mathletes. An AP Scholar with Distinction and Gates Scholarship finalist, he also works as a citizenship preparatory class co-teacher for Pronto. Lopez will attend Princeton University, majoring in biochemistry.

“Throughout my years of high school, I’ve worked so hard, and it’s nice to finally see it all come to fruition,” Lopez said. “So here I am now at the end goal, and it’s nice to see what I have left in my future.”
