Do you really think your child can really trust what you say? Some parents say things and in our busy lives, we sometimes forget. A young child is very perceptive to what comes out of their parent’s mouths. So we must be careful if we are to continue to hold their trust and respect. I once told my son that there was nothing in the world he could not tell me, and nothing is more important than the people you care about.

One day while cleaning out a property, I came across a trunk filled with old comic books. Most of them were water damaged, so I trashed the bad ones and kept the goods, as some were in very good condition. After reading a few, I couldn’t resist, I noticed that most of them were from the 1970’s. I checked a website to see if they had any value, and to my surprise many were valuable. The first thing I thought about was saving them for my son to have when he got older and perhaps help pay for college. I was so excited to have a little pressure of some college bills off my back.

When I was much younger, I was an avid comic book reader. I wanted my son to share in some of my excitement. I gave them to him to read, and he loved them. I then reasoned that since they were really his, he could keep them and read them when he wanted. I forgot about them for a couple of months. One day I asked him about a particular issue, and was floored. He said he took them to school and gave them to his friends. I promptly shouted “how could you do that?” Boy, was I ever mad, until I saw the look on his face. There was such a look of embarrassment and disbelief. My son trusted me, and at that very moment, I failed him.

I’ve taught my son the importance of things that really matter. He is not materialistic, and the value of a comic book had no more value than friendship. Those comics will eventually whither and fall to pieces, he will have his friends for life. What a valuable lesson he taught me, more valuable than the comic books. I trust my son, I just hope he can still trust me?

The first step in purchasing a home is qualifying for a mortgage.  To qualify for a mortgage a home buyer needs a credit score of 620.  However, it is best to get a copy of your credit report before going to the mortgage professional because there is often mistakes on your credit report.  The reason there is often mistakes in your credit report is that the report is done by people and computers.  Sometimes, the computer can compile or mis-compile information of people with similar names, similar numbers in their social security number, similar addresses, etc.  The reason I know these errors can occur as a result of the latter reason is that I had a client who was a junior.  His father filed a bankruptcy and the bankruptcy was showing on the son’s credit report.  I helped the son and father correct the incorrect information, and the son was able to purchase his home.

To find out if errors are on your credit report visit the credit bureau:

• Experian -www.experian.com
• Equifax - www.equifax.com
• Transunion - www.transunion.com

Once you have a copy of your credit report and you discover errors.  Dispute the errors with the credit bureau.  It will take 30 to 45 days for the credit bureau to investigate.  If the error can not be substantiated then the information will have to be removed.  By the way, the remove of the negative information does not automatically increase your credit score.  It may take as long as 60 to 90 days before the removal of the negative information will affect your credit score.

There are two additional facts that you need to know to be successful with getting a mortgage.

The first thing is that the mortgage company uses all three credit bureaus’ scores to create what the mortgage industry terms as a tri-merge.  Once the tri-merge is compiled the mortgage company uses your middle or median score to determine your eligibility for the mortgage.  This is the reason it is important to get a copy of all three credit bureau’s report.

Another fact that you need to know is that shopping around for a mortgage lowers your credit score, so take a copy of your credit report with you to prevent the reduction in credit score.  If the mortgage professional is not willing to use your copy of the credit report to give information about what products or mortgages they have to offer find another mortgage professional to work with that will.  Once you are happy with the product or mortgage allow the company to pull your credit report and begin the process.

However, before you finalize your choice in products please read tomorrow’s post to find out the difference between fixed and adjustable rate mortgages.

Are you a single parent wondering if you could afford the “American Dream” of home ownership?  The answer is a resounding, “yes”.  However, it will require planning.

In order for you to be successful with your dream of home ownership it is is important to understand several things before getting started on your path to home ownership.  You must know:

• the difference between a home appraisal and a home inspection
• what your credit score is
• how much home you can afford
• what property tax exemptions you are eligible for and why
• what is the difference between fixed and adjustable rate mortgage
• what is replacement cost and how does it affect your insurance premium
• why is it important to shop around for insurance coverage
• why it is important to shop around for a mortgage
• what is mortgage insurance and what does it protect
• what is a FHA loan
• what is a conventional loan
• how much is needed, really, to purchase and maintain a home
• what money saving tips are available to help you maintain your home
• what should you be looking for in a home

Over the next series of posts a renowned and successful broker, author, co-author, and speaker will be addressing the above issues.

Ms. Brown has worked with several first time home buyers, but more importantly she has worked with and coached several single parents through the buying process.  In addition, all of the single parents that she coached through the buying process are still successful and happy homeowners today.

Ms. Brown has over ten years of experience as a real estate professional.  She prides herself on ensure that her clients understand the buying or selling process.  She accomplish this goal by educating her clients with books like “Should I Short Sale My Home” and “How to Make Your Home Sell”.  She also has a successful blog at Taylor-Brown Real Estate Talks.com.

Ms. Brown is not only a license real estate broker in both Indiana and Illinios, but she has two bachelor degrees.  One of her bachelor degrees is in business administration and the other degree is in electronic engineering technology.

It is equally important to point out the goal of Taylor-Brown Real Estate Talks.  Taylor-Brown Real Estate Talks’ goal is to empower the customer through education about real estate, mortgage, insurance, so that the consumer can achieve wealth through the listing and selling of real estate.

Tomorrow’s post will be on the all important credit score.  There has been a lot of changes in the mortgage industry in recent years, and Ms. Brown wants to share with you how those changes will affect your buying experience.

If you asked this question in a bar, a gym, or a football game the answer might not be an honest one.  The fact is women, mainly I might add, have raised a lot of boys.  These boys, subsequently turned out to be some very incredible men.  Men have not always been there for their children, for whatever reason that may be.  Women, mothers, mamas have always been there for their children.

That is a fact that can never be ignored or forgotten.  Some men have been there, but not a lot.  In reality the child does suffer, this I can not deny.  This I know for sure.  It is hard to break the cycle, but not impossible.  An effort must be made to change the way society treats its children.  If the father is not around, the other men in the child’s life MUST step up.  A child should never feel like a burden to anyone.  I promise you they will feel that way, eventually, even though they are not.

A woman can raise a boy to be a man, but it still takes MEN to help.  A boy would feel akward hearing about sex from his mother.  He may not fully want to understand what she is saying, because of the embarassment.  In my experience a man can better explain what to do and say to a female.  Also in my experience a woman can tell you what to expect and why from a female’s point of view.  The best of both worlds.  The best of BOTH.  Women are so very beautiful, little boys would appreciate that fact if they really knew why.  If a man could show and tell them why.  I can tell you why womem are so beautiful, without them the world would DIE.  Women are the life of the world, and the world is beautiful.  A woman raised me, a very beautiful woman, and I am a MAN!
