				Refinance to a Fixed-Rate Mortgage This option is feasible if you have enough equity and can afford higher payments. If homes prices fall and appreciation declines, you might not have any equity. Beware of prepayment penalties; some equal six-months of unearned interest. Adding refinance costs and points to the loan further reduces equity because your loan balance increases. Talk to a Reputable Credit Counselor Arrange to make lower payments, deferring unpaid interest, which will increase your loan balance. Work out lower payments on other debt obligations to allow for higher mortgage payments, called debt reorganization under bankruptcy laws. Persuade the lender to come to an agreement on forbearance or postponing your payment increases based on ability to pay at a future date. Sell Your House List your house for sale with a real estate agent, providing you have enough equity to pay commissions and costs of sale, typically 7 to 10 percent of sales price. Sell your house without representation, providing you can afford advertising and marketing expenses, including the advice of a real estate lawyer. Deed your house to the lender under a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure arrangement, accepting that you will receive no money for your equity and a ding on your credit

Before You Buy Your First Home - Tips for First-time Home Buyers

It's not uncommon for a first-time home buyer to say to me, "Gosh, just last week I called you about buying a home and now I'm in escrow! How did this happen so fast?"

The answer is it didn't. First-time home buyers start the search long before most even realize it.

Here's what you can expect from your home shopping experience.

Figuring Out the Benefits

You should buy a home. That's what you've been hearing from friends and family, right? So, by now you have likely already weighed the benefits and decided that home ownership was the best decision for you. That's a major hurdle now passed. You are focused and certain. Good.

Defining Search Parameters

Almost 80% of all home searches today begin on the Internet. With just a few clicks of the mouse, home buyers can search through hundreds of online listings, view virtual tours, and sort through dozens of photographs and aerial shots of neighborhoods and homes. You've probably defined your goals and have a pretty good idea of the type of home and neighborhood you want. By the time you reach your real estate agent's office, you are halfway to home ownership.

How Long Should It Take to Find What You Want?

In seller's markets, often I show only one home. After all, how many homes does one family need? A few buyers will look for years, but buyers who do that aren't motivated. A motivated buyer will find a home within two weeks. Most of my buyers find a home within two days.

Good real estate agents will listen to your wants and needs and arrange to show only those homes that fit your particular parameters. Your agent should preview homes before showing them to you as well.

How Many Homes Will You See?

Studies show that the your memory dramatically improves after consumption of carbs and slows upon consuming sugar. So, layoff the soft drinks and have a hearty meal of carbs before venturing out to tour homes. The average number of homes that I show to a buyer in one day is seven. Any more than that, and the brain is on overload. Therefore, don't expect to see 20 or 30 homes; although it's physically possible to do so, you probably will not remember specific details about any of them.

The "Red Shoes" Experience

Women will relate to this. Say, you need a new pair of red shoes. You go to the mall. At the first shoe store, you find a fabulous pair of red shoes. You try them on. They fit perfectly. They are glamorous. Priced right, too. Do you buy them? Of course not! You go to every other store in the mall trying on red shoes until you are ready to drop from exhaustion. Then you return to the first store and buy those red shoes. Do not shop for a home this way. When you find the perfect home, buy it.

How to Rate Inventory

Bring a digital camera and begin each series of photos with a close-up of the house number to identify where each group of home photos start and end.
Take copious notes of unusual features, colors and design elements.
Pay attention to the home's surroundings. What is next door? Do 2-story homes tower over your single story?
Do you like the location? Is it near a park or a power plant?
Immediately after leaving, rate each home on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.

View Top Choices a Second Time

After touring homes for a few days, you will probably instinctively know which one or two homes you would like to buy. Ask to see them again. You will see them with different eyes and notice elements that were overlooked the first go-around.

At this point, your agent should call the listing agents to find out more about the sellers' motivation and to double-check that an offer hasn't come in, making sure these homes are still available to purchase.

Making the Selection

I'll let you in on a little secret. I generally know which home a buyer is going to choose, and I suspect most other agents operate the same way. It's an intuition. But I make it a practice not to steer buyers, and I insist that buyers choose the home without interference from me. It's not my choice to make.

Real estate agents are required, however, to point out defects and should help buyers feel confident that the home selected meets the buyer's search parameters.
