Self-employed borrower basics

Two of the most important things lenders review to qualify you for a mortgage are income and assets, which respectively, determine how much monthly payment you can afford and where your down payment is coming from.

When it comes to income, self-employed borrowers report income as sole proprietors or owners of entities like corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies (LLCs).

As a sole proprietor, you will file your self-employed income on IRS Schedule C, which tracks your income and expenses for a given year.

Unlike with salaried employees, who get to use their gross income for loan qualifying, sole proprietor borrowers must qualify using their net income from Schedule C. Furthermore, lenders calculate a 24-month average of net income for sole proprietors (as opposed to sometimes requiring just one year from salaried borrowers), and if the most recent Schedule C has lower net income than the previous year, lenders will use worst-case income by calculating a 12-month average of the most recent year.

If you're self-employed and conduct business via a corporation, partnership, or LLC, the IRS requires these entities to file separate sets of tax returns. If you own 25 percent or more of the entity, you will need to provide lenders with these full business tax returns, as well as your personal returns.

Just like with Schedule C, lenders will average income for 24 months using two years of filed business (and personal) returns, and if the most recent year is lower, they will average 12 months of the lower year.

When it comes to assets, self-employed borrowers sometimes have a lot of their money in their business, and may want to use those funds for down payment. Some lenders will let you do this, and if so, they often require that your tax preparer verifies that use of business funds for a home purchase won't have a material impact on the business.

New rules for self-employed borrowers In February 2016, Fannie Mae updated self-employment income calculation guidelines for borrowers who own partnerships and S corporations. These guidelines impose stricter analysis on income and debt trends of a company to determine whether the company has sufficient assets to support the withdrawal of earnings to pay its owners.

If you own an entity like this, your income from the entity shows up on a form called Schedule K-1. This form is part of the entity's tax filing, and the figures on this form get carried over to your personal tax return as income.

This income most often comes in two main forms: "ordinary business income" and "distributions."

New rules for self-employed borrowers now impose conditions on whether you can use either of these forms of income. For example, if distributions are greater than ordinary business income, then ordinary business income may be used to qualify. But if distributions are less than ordinary business income (or distributions don't exist), then there are a host of guidelines to determine how you qualify.

These guidelines will be specific to your profile and they will vary by lender, so the best way to determine whether you qualify for a loan as a full or part owner of a corporation or partnership is to find a local lender who can analyze your tax returns for you.

Know Before You Owe 6 Questions To Ask Your Mortgage Lender

Shopping for a home loan is just as important as shopping for the home itself. Here's what you should "know before you owe." From weeding through paperwork to searching for optimal loan terms, purchasing a home can be as mentally taxing as navigating a foreign country without knowing the language. Let's face it: Channeling your energy toward finding the perfect home in Angel Fire, NM or Taos, NM, is a much more pleasurable experience than agonizing over potential lenders and loan applications.

Yet, the loan and lender you ultimately choose should be just as important as the neighborhood you explore or the home on which you put an offer; therefore, the amount of legwork for each chore should be comparable. In an effort to bolster consumer education, improve the loan-shopping process, and cut through the jargon on loan documents, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) last year established the Know Before You Owe mortgage program. (Now there's really no excuse for not doing your homework before buying a home.)

Here's a quick rundown on what Know Before You Owe entails -- and what mortgage questions you should ask along the way. Wield the Loan Estimate tool

Prior to October 2015 and the start of Know Before You Owe, loan applicants would have received two forms upon applying for a loan: a Good Faith Estimate and a Truth-in-Lending disclosure. Created by two separate federal agencies and filled with overlapping information, the forms made it difficult for consumers to compare everything from loan amounts to interest rates.

With Know Before You Owe's streamlined Loan Estimate, it's easier to find pertinent loan information, which in turn can encourage comparison shopping instead of hindering the process. Seek details from lenders.

Once you've become familiar with the paperwork and application process, start interviewing lenders about their mortgage products. Here are six questions to ask.

1. Are points included in the quoted interest rate?

Points are upfront fees -- equal to 1% of the loan amount for each point -- paid to reduce the interest rate on the loan. It's important to clarify whether the quoted interest rate includes points and, if so, how many.

2. What are the closing costs associated with this loan? Closing costs typically fall between 2% and 5% of the total loan amount -- a large enough range to make this question an important one.

3. What is the required down payment?

A variety of loan types are available, and not all of them require the same down payment. Make sure to ask how much you will be required to put down and, if it's less than 20%, ask if tacking on Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) will be an additional requirement.

4. Is it a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage?

A fixed-rate mortgage keeps your interest rate and mortgage payment locked for the entire duration of the loan (yep, all 15 to 30 years). An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) can adjust after a designated period depending on the market, potentially increasing your monthly mortgage payment substantially.

5. Can the interest rate be locked down? If so, for how long?

The interest rate offered by a potential lender isn't a guarantee -- unless the lender can lock it down for you. If you are offered a particularly low rate, make sure you know when you need to lock it down and how long it can be held.

6. Are there any prepayment penalties on this loan?

In exchange for a lower interest rate or lower out-of-pocket costs upfront, some lenders will charge a prepayment penalty. Depending on the terms, the prepayment penalty might have to be paid before refinancing or selling the home within a designated period. It's important to know beforehand exactly what your loan requires.

How to buy the House of your Dreams

Writing an offer letter sellers will love might seem like a no-brainer, but don't underestimate this powerful tool.

It's like striking gold: After hours of scouring homes for sale in Atlanta, GA, or Seattle, WA, you've found the house of your dreams. In fact, you went home last night and played a little game of Where Does the Sofa Go? But before you can say "home sweet home," there's an offer to be made (and accepted). While these three tips won't guarantee that your offer will be chosen, they will help you be competitive, and you'll be one step closer to landing your dream home.

1. Carefully consider your approach

If you think your dream home's listing price is just a place to begin negotiations, think again. First, have a conversation with your real estate agent here at New Mexixco Mountain Properties. Looking at comparable homes will give you a better idea of the seller's asking price in relation to similar properties and can help you shape your offer based on property-specific amenities and location.

Next, you should decide how you'll pay for your purchase: cash or financing. Cash offers can sometimes command a lower selling price since there aren't mortgage details to sort through and the sale should close faster. If you're using financing but can offer a quick close (less than 30 days), take that into consideration in your offer price -- your real estate agent may be able to leverage a quick close to sweeten the deal.

If you're thinking of submitting a lowball offer, engage in a candid conversation with your real estate agent. Agents know the market well and might even know a thing or two about the listing agent through previous sales. There are certain times when a lowball offer might start favorable negotiations, but there are many others when such an offer can derail the reality of landing your dream home. If you decide to submit an offer substantially below the listing price, be prepared for a negotiation process-- or a flat-out "no."

When you're ready to make your offer, back it up with everything the seller needs to know. You want the seller to believe that yours is the one offer to look at twice. Be sure to include completed offer paperwork with signatures where they belong, and make sure you're asking for seller concessions that make sense for the market.

2. Weigh the pros and cons of your requests for repairs

Maybe you're looking to have some of your closing costs covered. Perhaps you just want the old, worn-out carpeting replaced. Asking for seller concessions is a normal part of the offer process, but you need to know what you can reasonably expect.

If you're in a competitive bidding situation, odds are that the seller is going to choose the offer requiring the least amount of work on the seller's part. Work with your real estate professional to make a list of "musts" and "would like" items for the sellers to tackle. You can put these concessions side by side with your offer price and see what makes for the most compelling deal. Bottom line: If you're negotiating and something's got to give, consider your requested concessions to stay competitive.

3. Don't be swayed by emotions

One step that's important not to forget in the offer process is setting a maximum price. If you're financing, you will have a purchase ceiling from your mortgage lender, but when the perfect home comes along, it's easy for heartstrings to overrule good financial sense. Ask yourself realistically, how much can you comfortably carry as a mortgage payment each month? How much is that home really worth? How long do you plan on staying in the home, and does that justify a higher-than-asking price? Remember, the tips we're including here are for traditional sales, not short sales or purchases of bank-owned properties. Those types of transactions have nuances all their own.

What is your fear about buying real estate

Buyers' biggest real estate fears sometimes hold them back from buying -- not just around Halloween, but throughout the year. The scary thing is, these fears are sometimes well-founded. Here are some of the issues that commonly keep home buyers awake at night, and what you can do about them. "The house has a cracked foundation, dry rot, or a leaky roof" Renovating, fixing and repairing are on few buyers' wish lists. When faced with the home of their dreams, they fear the inspection. What if there is dry rot, or a roof or foundation issue?

Most homes will need routine maintenance, and a good inspector will point this out. But it's important not to let your fears get the best of you. Much of what the inspector comes up with during the inspection is for informational purposes only. Every problem does not need to be repaired right away. The inspector's job is to point out every issue he sees in the house. Ask him to explain how bad the issue is, and how long it can go before needing replacement or repair. If an issue arises that needs immediate attention, go back to the seller and see if they will repair or credit you back to repair after you close.

"I'll lose my deposit"

Buyers typically put in an earnest money deposit with a signed contract. Typically, this is 3 percent of the purchase price. The seller does not cash the check. Instead, the money sits in an escrow account and can't be released without both parties' signatures.

It's nearly impossible for a buyer to lose their deposit. If you have an inspection, disclosure review or loan contingencies, work closely with your real estate agent to mark those timeframes. If you need to remove these contingencies in writing, plan to firm things up a day in advance. If you are in negotiations around a contingency date, be sure to extend the contingency date to keep yourself under contract. "I'll lose the house"

If you find the home of your dreams, you may have to move fast. Particularly in competitive markets, many homes sell before the first open house to quick acting and super-motivated buyers. If you see a new listing hit the market, be sure to let your agent know right away. Try to make an appointment to see the home as soon as possible.

Also, find out immediately how the seller's agent plans to handle any offers received. Sometimes they will take the first offer, especially if it's a good one. More often than not, the seller and the agent will have an offer date to review offers or ask for best and final offers by a certain day.

If you are travelling or busy with work, be sure not to miss out on your dream home. Be in constant contact with your agent, and flag potential homes that look like a great fit.

"My agent doesn't have my best interest in mind"

Great agents are always on the prowl for new properties, checking out the market and protecting your best interest at all times. Some buyers fear that their agent might have different motivations, or that they aren't on the same page. If you have doubts, change agents. Never settle or take any random agent that comes along as your buyer's agent.

You and your agent should be committed to each other. Sit down before you begin the process and speak to your agent, much like a job interview. And if you have any doubts about your agent's abilities or motivations, find another agent.

"We'll never find a house in time for..."

A real estate purchase should never be rushed. If you have a firm deadline creeping up, make a plan B. For example, many buyers face an expiring lease or a school application deadline. If you are three months out from a deadline and you haven't found a house, take the pressure off by putting an alternate plan in place.

Home buying is an expensive and complicated transaction. You don't want to rush into a purchase and make a mistake. It's much easier and safer to get another rental or find a temporary address or try some out-of-the-box idea. It may be a little inconvenient, but you can handle it.

If something scares you about a home, the buying process, or a third-party involved in the sale, voice your concerns. Listen to your voice of reason, and stick with your gut. Many home buyers' initial fears will fall by the wayside as the buyer gets into the market. Take it slow, and don't be afraid to take a step back to allow time and space to think things through. It's better to take your time than to let buying your dream home become a nightmare.

Late Spring Hiking in Taos

The snow is now melting and it will be time to hike at higher elevations. For now, the lower-elevation hikes near the river are still good choices in the morning and on the cooler days. Las Minas Trail begins at the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center in Pilar. You can visit the center for maps and advise. The trail begins at just more than 6000 feet and climbs 400 feet to the over-look bench. The hike is moderately steep in this section, and there's a sprinkling of wildflowers on the trail. Look for the scarlet paint brush lavender-colored phlox, white evening primrose and the purple pincushion cactus.

After the first overlook the trail heads southeast away from the edge. Continue on the rocky trail as it switches back towards the rim. An additional climb of 500 feet and about a mile of hiking bring the hiker to a flat overlook spot with views to the Rio Grande and all the way to Pedernal to the southwest. This is a good spot for lunch to end the hike or rest before continuing on.

Be sure to bring enough water for everyone in your group, including dogs. There are no water sources available and I can be hot on a clear day. On the way home, you may want to consider a visit to the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center. If you plan to stay more than a half hour there is a $3 per day use, payable at the fee stations.

If you are feeling adventurous on the way home, you can continue north of NM 570 and cross the Taos Junction Bridge. Drive 2 miles up the dirt road switchbacks for views down into the gorge. From the top of the rim, it is 8 miles north on the west rim road to the Rio Grande gorge bridge.

While you're visiting the Rio Grande gorge you may want to take some time out and come see our Modern, top of the line, efficient, luxuriant Earthship homes we have to offer in Taos, New Mexico, We also offer Land in Taos NM. Come see our vast selection of homes for sale in Taos New Mexico and Angel Fire New Mexico. Take a look at our condos for sale in the Taos Ski Valley and Angel Fire Resort.

What loans can affect your credit worthiness

Different types of debt can boost your credit score -- but over borrowing can hurt you

When you're shopping for a mortgage, your credit score is a really big deal; it can make or break your mortgage approval and ultimately determine whether you get that home for sale in New Mexico. But before you analyze your credit score, it's important to look at how your existing debt affects that score.

Debt comes in two types: secured and unsecured. When you borrow money to buy a house, the bank can take back the house to recoup its money if you don't pay the debt. That means the debt is secured -- it's balanced against something you want to keep and gives the bank some measure of security that it can recover the money it lent you. Unsecured debt, on the other hand, means the bank can't reclaim what you're buying with the borrowed money. (Credit card debt and student loans are unsecured.) The following four key consumer loans affect your mortgage worthiness in different ways. Read on to find out what steps you can take to improve your credit if you have these loans (or are considering them), so you can qualify for the best mortgage rates out there.

1. Student loans

Student loans are unsecured debt, but they're not necessarily bad for your credit score if you pay your bills on time. Because they often take decades to pay off, student loans can actually help your score. Likewise, other loans held (and paid consistently) over a long period raise your score. Student loans will figure into your overall debt-to-income ratio, though, so a large student loan or other loan might affect your ability to qualify for (and afford!) a mortgage.

2. Auto loans

Auto loans are secured debt, because the lender can repossess the car if you don't pay up. In some cases, auto loans raise your credit score by diversifying the types of debt you carry. And because auto loans are harder to get than credit cards, some mortgage lenders may look favorably on you because you've already been approved for a loan that wasn't a slam-dunk.

3. Payday loans

Payday loans don't usually show up on your credit report. But if you default on the loan, it could ding your credit. These loans are unsecured -- the lender doesn't have any collateral -- and their interest rates are often exorbitant.

4. Existing mortgage loans

Mortgages are the classic example of a secured debt, because the bank has the ultimate collateral -- a piece of property. Mortgages, when paid on time, are great for your credit score. However, missed payments on previous mortgages will make your new lender nervous.

If you already have a mortgage and are applying for a second one, the new lender will want to be sure you can afford to pay both bills every month, so they will look closely at your debt-to-income ratio. If your second mortgage is for a rental property, you may expect the rental income to count toward the income side of the equation. However, most lenders won't count rental income until you've been a landlord for two years. Until then, you'll have to qualify for any additional mortgages by using documented income from other.

Here at New Mexico Mountain Properties we will help you locate the perfect home you're looking for. You will find beautiful mountain land for sale in Angel Fire, our homes for sale in Angel Fire capture the majestic mountain views.

How to Choose The Best Agent for your Real Estate needs

Searching for a home and engaging with a real estate agent today is not the same as it was a generation ago. The space (both physical and virtual) between the buyer and the real estate agent was much larger, and coming together was slower and more methodical.

If a buyer saw a For Sale sign or an ad in the paper, they might call the real estate agency's office, get some information, and move on. Or they could walk into an open house solo. They could be rather anonymous.

But today's home buyers live online. They can click, text or email with agents, and seriously engage within hours. But does that mean they are active and serious buyers ready to transact? Not necessarily.

The real estate agent's experience

Meanwhile, real estate agents, who are commission-only independent contractors, will sometimes drive around for hours showing homes. They may take these buyers around for days or weeks, thinking they have a live client they can help. They might make an offer or two on behalf of the customer, even be present at a two- to three-hour-long home inspection ... all before the buyer decides to back out. They may buy a different house from the agent, or they may not.

Well-intentioned, hardworking agents can end up feeling like their time isn't valued -- particularly when they never hear from that buyer again.

Who's responsible?

Is it incumbent on the agent to be better at time management and qualifying their potential buyer clients? Or should the buyer be clear with the agent early on if they aren't serious just yet? I think that the consumer comes first, and it's up to the agent to better qualify -- as best they can. But it's also part of the business, and par for the course. Agents sign up for a sales job, and they can't win every deal. They need to ask lots of questions of their new "client" before offering up their time and cashing a paycheck that doesn't exist.

Some consumers relish the attention they receive from this new "friend" who will drive those places, show them around, and teach them something new about the world of real estate. If the buyer isn't paying for the agent's time, the reasoning often goes, why not take a few rides and see some great houses? But soon-to-be homeowners should be mindful of their intentions, and considerate of the resources the agent is delivering.

So what's a buyer to do?

Should everyone stop looking online or clicking the "Contact Agent" button? No way. Consumers should always feel free to click away, ask questions and gather information.

But they should be mindful of how things work once they start seriously engaging. Most buyers don't realize that there is a process to buying a home, and that it rarely happens overnight. From the time they first click on the photo of the killer master bathroom until they get the keys, it might be one year and three dozen (or more) house tours.

And if things don't feel right with the agent with whom you engage early on, move on. Keep researching independently, or get a referral for a good local agent. Or, better yet, just go with the flow and the right agent will come along organically.

And what about agents?

Real estate professionals need to understand that one text, click or email does not make an active buyer. A good agent has a handle on the sales process, and asks buyers lots of questions to get a read on them. A good agent fills their sales funnel with a mix of folks in all parts of the home buying process.

Early on, an agent needs to be a guiding light, resourceful and ready to answer questions. As some of their buyers get more serious, smart real estate pros know where to direct their attention.

The agents at New Mexico Mountain properties will be your guiding light, they are resourceful and always ready to answer any of your questions. Living in this beautiful valley you may choose to buy another angel fire home, or even convince a relative or friend to move here. If you do, choose NM Mountain Properties for all your real estate needs!! Call 575-377-2626 in Angel Fire, Taos is 575-758-5852 or call an agent directly at 575-770-3306.

May is the best time To Sell a House

Why is May the best time to sell a house? We've asked real estate agents from several metro areas to chime in on why it's such a magical month for home sales.

1. The timing aligns with the new school year

If they intend to move, families really want to close on a new home before the end of summer. Why? Changing school districts after the school year starts is no picnic for anyone. If you take the month of May to search for a home, you can be closed in July or August, which gives you a little time to settle in before school.

2. Buyers are getting serious

When the spring housing season begins, typically right after Presidents Day in mid-February, many buyers feel as if they have plenty of time to find their perfect home and perfectly time their summer move. So they might bid more aggressively and offer less than asking price. If no sellers bite, though, by the time May rolls around, these same buyers may relent to submitting more competitive offers in the hopes of finally sealing the deal. Remember, though, that May is typically a seller's market. When buyers are just starting to look at this point, "They are excited and have not experienced the agony of defeat by being outbid once, twice, or three times -- at which point deal fatigue sets in. After missing several deals, buyers begin to feel as if they are settling and then begin to think that it would be better to just wait. As we move into late June and early July, in addition to being weary of looking, buyers make house hunting less of a focus for this year and more of one for next year.

3. The weather is beautiful

People normally discuss the weather for two reasons: When there's a huge weather event or natural disaster, such as a hurricane or tornado, or when they have nothing else to talk about. But there's actually a third reason: Weather plays an important role for home sellers and their open houses. Here in Angel fire or Taos, NM, we can have tough winters where people just don't want to be going from home to home in the snow. 4. People haven't left yet for summer vacation If you're selling to a clientele that typically "summers" elsewhere (lucky ducks!), you need to catch them while they're still around. But if you wait until July to list your home, you've lost [those buyers] until after Labor Day.

5. Tax refunds are burning a hole in buyers' pockets

Scraping up money for a down payment and closing costs can be quite a formidable undertaking. After filing your taxes, "You have a clearer picture of your financial situation. So when you get that big refund from Uncle Sam (if you're lucky), you might be in a better financial situation to buy. Or if you owe, you at least have that expense out of the way. And sellers take note: You might want to use your tax refund to make repairs and get the home ready to sell.

6. The mood is just right

Just as Goldilocks had to have everything "just right," home selling has its sweet spot too. Most people are home from the spring break vacations they took in April, schools are still in session, taxes have been paid (or extensions filed!), flowers are in bloom, and everything looks fresh and new. Everyone is in the home-buying mood.
