Pam's Real Estate Ponderings: Buying Homes: Up-and-Coming ...

Buying Homes: Up-and-Coming Trends

As a result of the changes in the real estate market and economy over the last few years, several new real estate trends are appearing. Here are four of them you might want to take into consideration when searching for ?homes to purchase.
1.????? Buy a home you can afford. In the past, some buyers bought more home than they could really afford. Today?s trend is to buy within your means (or even below your means). You still want to get pre-approved for a loan so you know the maximum you can spend, but don?t let that be your only guide to determining how much home you can afford. Consider your lifestyle. Do you want to spend your hard-earned income on vacations, hobbies, clothing, charity or your children rather than spending it all on mortgage payments? Do you prefer to live frugally now so you can save for your retirement? Or is your home where you prefer to spend the majority of your earnings?
2.????? Consider live-in value as well as resale value: Buy a home that you?ll enjoy living in for the next five to seven years, rather than focusing exclusively on the future resale value of the home.? The rule in the past was that you needed to own a home for about five years in order to break even when you sold it. Now that real estate values are increasing at a slower pace, you may need to stay in your home up to seven years in order to break even or earn a profit when you sell it.
3.????? Search for homes based on proximity: With the increasing price of gas, your daily drive to work can be very costly if it?s a long commute from your home. Consider buying a home that?s close to your work place or close to inexpensive mass transit. If you can find a home you enjoy that?s also close to where you shop and play, even better. You?ll save travel time and money.
4.????? Compare the benefits of a well-planned smaller home to a rambling McMansion:? According to Sarah Susanka, architect and author of Not so Big House, you can comfortably live in one-third less space than you think you can. Buy a home that you find beautiful and functional, and the size won?t matter.
Whether you?re looking at large or small ?homes, I can help you find and buy the home that fits your needs. Give me a call today at 336-682-7653 or email me at sold@pamboyle.com.

Avoid Home Purchasing Mistakes With These Ideas | South Jersey ...

Home buyers need resources in the current day's market place if they hope to find the sweetest deals on properties. Articles like the one you're reading now, are all about pointing you in the right direction and giving you a great deal of beneficial tips that you can use, to make the right call. And don't forget to check with a real estate lawyer should you face any aspects of a property exchange that you don't understand.

When buying a home, put down at least twenty percent of the house?s selling price as your down-payment. If you put down less than this amount, you'll often be need to buy non-public mortgage insurance (PMI). This fee is around half of a %, which would be about $1000 a year on a $200,000 house.

Understand the diversities between all the differing kinds of mortgage loans that are out there. Because there are many various options available when it comes to loans, you want to be certain to make the right choice for you and your folks. By doing your research, you'll be capable of making a sensible decision.

Never start a property negotiation by making a low-ball offer you do not expect to pay. Your opening bid should invariably be a reasonable price. Low-balling divides the seller your are dealing with, and sets a combative tone for the remainder of the negotiation. It's much better by far to keep the entire sales process easy and honest.

Do not buy the 1st house you see and do not jump on a home because it is inexpensive or will close quickly. Do research, see other houses, and keep track of offers. By rushing into a purchase, you may skip steps like doing an inspection or buy something that you don?t actually like.

A key tip when buying real-estate is to be certain that you have a reputable real-estate agent. Your real-estate agent should be helping you review the documents and get you the best offer practical. If you sense that they are not the best at their job, it may be a good idea to find a new real-estate agent.

Home purchasers or any other kind of real estate shopper would do very well to aim for fixer-uppers in contrast to new, perfect homes. If you're prepared to provide the finishing touches on a property, you can save thousands upon thousands of bucks by putting in the work yourself. Purchasing brand new means you'll pay lots more.

When planning out how much house you can afford to buy, remember to work out in the maintenance costs of the home. Upkeep is one of the costliest factors in owning a home, but it's something many first time home purchasers will forget. Once you own the home, your property owner is no longer responsible if a pipe breaks, so economize for circumstances.

It?s all about making the right decision as a property buyer. If you're approaching buying without the correct information about the market, you could finish up losing money in a multitude of alternative ways. Use the tips that you have just learned here, to ensure that you purchase the best real-estate available.

Rajat Gupta faces jury in insider trading case

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Barely a day went by at the insider-trading trial of multimillionaire hedge-fund founder Raj Rajaratnam a year ago without mention of Rajat Gupta, a boldface name in business and charity circles.

On Monday in the same federal court in New York, it will be Gupta's turn to go on trial. The former Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Procter & Gamble board member is accused of leaking stock secrets to Rajaratnam, his erstwhile friend and business associate who was convicted and is now in prison.

But while prosecutors have called Gupta the "illegal eyes and ears" for Rajaratnam, this is a very different case. At Rajaratnam's trial, jurors spent weeks listening to the Galleon Group founder discussing stock trades on calls secretly recorded by the FBI. With Gupta, prosecutors have no direct conversations on tape related to the trades central to their case.

One of the government's core allegations is that Gupta tipped Rajaratnam to Berkshire Hathaway Inc's $5 billion investment in Goldman during the 2008 financial crisis and Goldman's surprise fourth-quarter loss that year.

Gupta, 63, has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers have argued that others may have leaked information about Goldman to Galleon and that Gupta, who once led management consultant McKinsey & Co, had no reason to illegally spill corporate secrets.

"This is a classic reasonable doubt case," said Tom Dewey, a partner at law firm Dewey Pegno & Kramarsky in New York, who is not involved in the case. "The core defense message will be: 'There is just not enough evidence.'"

Gupta also is charged with providing non-public information to Rajaratnam in 2008 and 2009 about P&G.

A jury of 12 and four alternates will be chosen on Monday for the trial before U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who expects it to last about three weeks. Opening arguments from Assistant U.S. Attorney Reed Brodsky and defense lawyer, Gary Naftalis, could start later Monday.

Gupta is charged with five counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison, though such a long sentence would be unlikely. Rajaratnam was handed an 11-year term in October, the longest for insider trading in the United States, after being overwhelmingly convicted on 14 criminal counts.

DECADES AT MCKINSEY

Gupta, the most prominent person indicted in the government's insider-trading crackdown, has had a remarkable fall from grace. Born in India, he earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and spent 34 years at McKinsey, serving as its global head for nine years. He retired in 2007.

He joined Goldman's board in 2006 and left in May 2010, seven months after Rajaratnam's arrest. Gupta, who was arrested last October, was also formerly a director at P&G and American Airlines Corp.

Naftalis has touted Gupta's charity, particularly his work to combat AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, to rebut any possible government argument that he was motivated by money.

"He has had a wonderful, blameless life and out of the clear blue sky in the seventh decade of his life he decides to become a criminal?" Naftalis said at a pre-trial hearing.

Naftalis fought unsuccessfully to exclude three wiretaps between Rajaratnam and two traders that could implicate Gupta. But the judge said his ruling was not final.

Naftalis has not said if Gupta will testify in his own defense. Some high-profile witnesses could take the stand including Goldman Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein, who also testified at the Rajaratnam trial as a government witness and said Gupta breached his fiduciary duty to the investment bank.

The case is USA v. Gupta, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 11-907.
