Recent had a great chat with friend, mortgage broker, and East Bay Realtor David Tang Pitch Black movie download Streets of Blood the movie Persuasion on dvd Touch of Evil move
about the recent spike in mortgage interest rates. David has always provided some sound advice and updates on how the current real estate and finance markets are doing. This is what he had to say:
Mortgage rates took a big jump yesterday as investors looking at the United States Government’s efforts to sell nearly $2 TRILLION
in U.S. Treasury bonds this year to fund its various Stimulus programs decided that the risk of inflation and rising interest rates were too high at the current record low yields.
In addition, signs of a recovery in the United States and globally are prompting some investors to lighten their holdings in U.S. Treasuries in search of other opportunities with greater potential returns.
Mortgage rates jumped from 0.25% to 0.75% as banks and lenders tried to figure out what was
a reasonable rate to charge for mortgages in this new climate of potentially rising interest rates.
For potential home buyers and those considering a refinance, it would be strongly advised to double check with your lender to see if your rate was locked prior to Wednesday – and if not – what the new rate is going to be.
After a period of relative calm in the interest rate markets, it looks like there could be some turbulence ahead so make sure you get good counsel on what your options are to protecting your financial position.

Last month, we posted some basic information about available home buyer tax credits. Don’t forget, buying the home is the first step, but you must make sure to apply for tax credit right away. Below you can find out if you qualify, for how much, and what forms you need.

First, identify yourself as a first time buyer. To qualify, a first-time home buyer must be a taxpayer (or spouse, if married) who had no present ownership interest in a principal residence in the U.S. during the 3 year period before the purchase of the home to which the credit applies. If the individual is married, neither the individual nor his/her spouse may have had a present ownership interest in a principal residence during the three-year period, even if they file as married filing separate. *Also note that the home does not qualify if it is acquired from a related person, and or by gift of inheritance. *
For homes purchases after April 8, 2008 and before January1, 2009, credit is equal to the lesser of:
-10% of the purchase price or $7,500 ($3,750 for married individuals filing separately)
-This credit is essentially a loan as the credit is repaid to the IRS ratably over 15 years.
Homes purchases after December 31, 2008 and before December 1, 2009

The Rainmaker Properties team wants to wish you all a very Happy Mother’s Day. We hope you enjoy and honor the mothers in your life today and every day for all they have done and sacrificed. Enjoy the quote below and have a great time celebrating Mother’s Day.
A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
“Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.”
God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.”
Again the child asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?”
God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
God said, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”
“Who will protect me?”
God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it’s life.”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”
God said, “Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”
“You will simply call her, ‘Mom.’”
