Broward’s First Free-Standing Children’s Hospital
November 30th, 2009 categories: Community Information, Events
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood Undergoing Major Expansion
The addition of a new four story building scheduled to be completed by the end of 2011 will have capacity for 204 beds and will be our first Broward’s “Children’s Hospital”. Being built across the street from the Joe DiMaggio’s wing of the Memorial Regional Hospital you can follow literally as it is being built and how it will look once finished.
To help raise funds to complete such an ambitious project the Joe Di’Maggio Children’s Hospital Foundation is hosting the Tour de Broward on February 14, 2010 at Miramar Regional Park. It will be a fun day to ride, run, walk or spin for Joe’s Kids; Fitness, Food, Entertainment, Bounce House, Children’s Activities; what a better way to give love on Valentine’s day?

Can you Prevent Foreclosure?
November 16th, 2009 categories: General RE Info, Mortgage, Tips for Sellers
Show me the Money!
I often hear about the lengthy letter borrowers are sending lenders to explain their hardship. Once the letter is sent they expect the bank will contact them right away to offer a loan modification; but it doesn’t work that way and borrowers get frustrated. Even though having gone through some financial issues help banks being more empathic; what they really want to know is if you can afford a “modified payment”.
Fannie Mae uploaded a Video in YouTube explaining the documents your lender need to be able to help you. Before you call your Lender gather the following information:
- Mortgage Statement
- Condo/Homeowners Association Statement (if applicable)
- Pay stubs and W-2’s if employed or Profit and Loss Statement if Self Employed
- Income Tax Returns
- Statements on every other debt, balance owed and monthly Payment. Including lines of credit, credit cards, car loan, student loans in other words….document every single penny you owe. Remember that this is not to tell the bank how broke you are but to help them figure out if you qualify for a “new loan”.
- And of course a letter stating the reason why you can’t pay the current mortgage payment.
Be truthful, don’t hide anything!!! and Good Luck

Home Buyer Tax Credit has Been Extended Until April 30, 2010
November 6th, 2009 categories: Tips For Buyers, Tips for Sellers
Good News for Buyers and Sellers!
Even though it was approved by the Congress we were not 100% sure it would be extended. It’s oficial! Obama signed it as part of his plan to stimulate the US housing market.
Other than the extension of the deadline who favors Buyers seeking Short Sales and the addition of existing Homeowners as beneficiaries of the Tax Credit, the most interesting addition to the law is the increase in the amount a Buyer can earn to Qualify. It went from $ $75,000 to $125,000 for single Buyers and from $150,000 to $ 225,000 for married couples. This increase mat trigger the sales of higher priced homes.
