One of our foreclosure homes protected from pests by green solutions
GaHomeForeclosures is proud of the work we do turning foreclosures into new opportunities for first time homebuyers and other house hunters. We strive to include environmentally friendly actions in that work. This starts with the core of our mission to stop neglected homes from falling apart, which helps both neighborhoods and the environment. Once we get our lender owned foreclosure homes in show ready condition, we are careful to make sure our affiliated agents are energy conscious when showing the homes or hosting open houses. We also use environmentally friendly upkeep methods for pest control from Northwest Exterminating, including NorPest Green Pest Control and The Sentricon System Green Termite Control.

One of the GaHomeForeclosures investor-ready homes
GaHomeForeclosures is proud to announce that our investor ready homes are flying off of the market. These homes are priced less than $100,000, in many cases less than $25,000, and are located all around Georgia. These investment homes are typically cash purchases and close in just a few days. GaHomeForeclosures is proud to announce they have more inventory coming onto the market all the time for the investment buyer.
While the homes are marketed to investors, there are amazing deals for those looking for a fixer upper home. Whether you have a fair hand with tools or know a great contractor, you can’t beat deals like a three bedroom, two bathroom, four sided brick ranch for only $38,900! Add on to that hardwood floors and a private backyard, and you’re going from a deal to a steal at that price. Read More→

BUY NOW – New Charges Coming to FHA Loans Soon!

FHA Mortgage costs are increasing in April
In GaHomeForeclosures’ effort to keep our buyers informed about the latest changes in home financing, we want to share some important information from preferred lender Gina Spearman at Academy Mortgage. This news has to do with an increase in the Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium for Fair Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages, which will become effective on April 9, 2012.
FHA loans are popular, especially with first time homebuyers, because they offer down payment assistance options and greater loan to value ratios than conventional loans do. These benefits come at the cost of having private mortgage insurance to reduce the lender’s risk for offering more money to help the borrower make the purchase.
The changes in the mortgage insurance rates essentially mean borrowers will be paying a slightly higher premium for FHA loans. This higher premium will be felt both up front and monthly over the life of the Read More→
