So You Think You Can’t Refinance Because You’re Underwater On Your Mortgage?

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

Guest Blogger : Equity Mortgage Lending

What would you say if I told you there was a federally funded government program designed to help the 5 million homeowners “underwater” on their mortgage and that only 894,000 of them have used this program to refinance their loan and save themselves money?

I’d say, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? The Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) allows qualified borrowers to refinance a loan that has a loan-to-value ratio of 80% to 125% and sometimes even higher. This is just one of the refinance programs designed to help people in this circumstance. If you have a conventional FHA, or VA loan and thought you couldn’t refinance because you are underwater, now is the time to see if you qualify for one of these programs.

There are only a couple of quick steps you need to take to see if you may qualify.

If you have a conventional loan-

First, your home mortgage must be owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac prior to June of 2009. The bank that collects your payments is most likely just the servicer of your loan. There is a very good chance Fannie or Freddie owns your loan and you were never made aware of this.

To see if this is the case, you will need to go to each of the websites below to determine whether Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac owes your loan. All the information you will need to do this is your name, address and the last 4 digits of your social security number.

Fannie Mae- www.fanniemae.com/loanlookup

Freddie Mac- www.freddiemac.com/mymortgage

Once you have determined that Fannie or Freddie owns your loan, please contact your local, licensed mortgage professional to continue the qualification process.

If you have an FHA or VA loan, you should qualify for a streamline refinance. Streamline refinances typically require very little documentation and often have no closing costs to obtain.

The team, which played in the 16-team competitive division, won its first three games handily and made it all the way to the championship (refereed by Ed Reed, himself), only to fall to the eventual champs.

Still, all involved – including two AWP employees (Zach Moore and Bobby Lubaszewski) – loved every minute of the event, which included appearances from other Baltimore Ravens players, such as Lardarius Webb and Michael Oher (both pictured below with the AWP team).

Signage

If you provide a service that will naturally use signage, then use your signage to display your social media accounts and website.

How To Use A Blog As A Successful Business Strategy

Friday, December 30th, 2011

Does your company have a business blog or looking to start a business blog? If yes, we are here to help you have a successful blog that will bring you leads and turn those leads into loyal customers. Read below to get some tips on creating a successful blog with strong content.

Recent research suggests that blogging is here to stay in the business world and beyond. Just like the powerful tools of social media, blogging is steadily increasing in numbers and influence. As of December 2011 BlogPulse has discovered that there are over 178 million active blogs. In 2004, there were only 3 million blogs.

Here are the most actively used types of blogging:

Hobbyist

The hobbyist is a blogger that blogs for fun and makes no income off of blogging. This is the average consumer.

Professional Part-time

This type of blogger uses a blog to bring in extra personal income. The blogger discusses personal beliefs and talks about technology.

Professional Full-time

This is a blogger who makes a living solely from blogging. They accomplish this by doing freelance writing.

Corporate

Companies use this type of blogging to promote products and services, while assisting blog readers with tips, steps or advice.

Most bloggers are between the ages 25 to 44 years of age. They are often highly educated and self-driven individuals.

To be successful in the blogging industry you must be current and innovative. Blogs should be posted on a weekly basis to increase the potential of having a loyal following. When you do not have a blog or you do not post on a weekly basis, you are losing out on valuable search engine optimization.

What Can Blogging do for You?

A blog can help your company increase its brand value to consumers. When you blog about why your products and services are the best in your industry, bloggers will pay attention to your business. If they really enjoy your products and services, bloggers will help you promote your products and services simply because they like what you offer. It is a known fact that more than 65% of bloggers follow brands on social media and they are very loyal in support to those brands.

Blogs Build Trust

Another great reason to start a blog is that consumers trust blogs more than advertisements. Why do consumers trust blog? They trust blogs because blogs are recommended information by friends and family. In fact, consumers will trust a blog more than anything else when it comes to social networks.

Where are blogs most likely to be shared?

Most people that read blogs will predominately share the information from blogs on email and on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

Blogging is a great investment for your company. Start today. Adventure Web Productions is here to help you not only create a professional company blog but manage it for you.

Here at Adventure Web Productions, we provide traffic to your website and increase your profits by truly utilizing all the crucial social media networks!  We can help get your company notice on all the main social media platforms.
