Maryland Financing Agreement




Maryland Senate Bill 392 eliminates the required use of the Maryland Financing Agreement for all loan transactions subject to the TILA / RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules beginning 7/1/2017.  Perhaps others will drop the duplication of information which causes confusion for mortgage borrowers

Ellie Mae discontinued this document on July 18th for all loans subject to TRID. 

Please note that Maryland Financing Agreements provided from July 1st through July 17th for TRID loans are not subject to regulatory scrutiny.

Sink or Swim? Check with City Planning or NO?

Before you sell check with your California County or city
But decide first do you want to make this public information?

to see if there are restrictions regarding
Planning, safety, Permits, Lack of Permits, Health issues

Not asking in advance could cause disclosure problems,  hiccups at closing and liability.
If the home has un-permitted additions
some cities may force the homeowner
to revert to original.
Ask your Realtor what's the right decision

Here is a list of California cities and county planning contacts which may not include
all of them.
For example residents in Moss Beach found, though unincorporated, appointed Design Review members take interpreting the law into their own hands. They may force residents to take down structures which are built to code years ago.

Better to know before you buy or sell.
Note BEFORE you call or ask consider ---
Do you want them to snoop about the address?

Reverse Mortgage No Monthly Payment

















A little bird says you need a reverse mortgage!
Enjoy the Good Life You deserve to Relax.

Here is a case story about a couple who decided a HECM was a good choice.

for their home loan.

Agnes and Arthur had lived in their charming little bungalow for over 50 years. It was filled with memories of raising their children, hosting countless holidays, and enjoying countless cups of coffee on the porch swing. But lately, the house had begun to feel a bit more like a burden than a blessing.

Arthur's knees were giving him trouble, making it difficult to climb the stairs. Agnes, ever the meticulous homemaker, found herself struggling to keep up with the yard work. And then there were the bills. The property taxes had gone up again, and their fixed income just wasn't stretching as far as it used to.

One day, Agnes saw an advertisement for a reverse mortgage. "A loan for people who own their homes?" she asked Arthur skeptically. "It sounds too good to be true."

But Arthur was intrigued. He did some research and learned that a reverse mortgage is a loan that allows homeowners 62 and older to convert a portion of their home equity into cash. You don't have to make any monthly payments, and you can use the money for anything you want – home improvements, medical bills, even a long-awaited vacation.

Agnes was still hesitant. "What if we outlive the loan?" she worried. "Will we lose our house?"

Arthur reassured her. "No, not with a government insured HECM loan. We'll always have a place to live, no matter what."

The more they thought about it, the more a reverse mortgage started to make sense. They could use the money to fix the leaky roof and install a walk-in shower for Arthur. Agnes could finally hire someone to help with the yard work, and they could even take that trip to Ireland they'd always dreamed of.

Best of all, they wouldn't have to worry about making ends meet. The reverse mortgage would give them the financial security they needed to age comfortably in their own home.

So, they decided to go for it. The process was surprisingly smooth, and soon they had a lump sum of cash in their hands. They used it to make their home safer and more accessible, and they even splurged on a new porch swing – a little wider and a little sturdier than the old one.

Now, Agnes and Arthur can sit on their porch swing every morning and sip their coffee, watching the world go by. They don't have to worry about the stairs, the yard work, or the bills. They're living comfortably in the home they love, and they're finally able to enjoy their golden years.

A reverse mortgage isn't right for everyone, but it can be a lifesaver for senior citizens like Agnes and Arthur. It can give you the financial freedom to live your life to the fullest, right in the place where you made so many memories.

So, if you're a senior citizen struggling to make ends meet, don't be afraid to explore your options. A reverse mortgage might just be the key to unlocking your golden years.
