Buy A Home With $500
Down
How would you
like a new $150,000
home for less than
$1,200 per month
and only $500 out of
pocket? Bankers First
Mortgage has been
helping hundreds of
new clients purchase
a home for less than
the cost of rent. And
the best part is they
will take care of everything. They refer the
real estate agent, title
company, insurance
company,
inspector
and appraisal. They
do it all so you don’t
have to.
George Hanzimanolis,
President
of
Bankers First Mortgage, states, “every
renter wants to own a
home. They are just
worried they won’t
get approved.
So,
we’ve taken the process over for them.
We meet with them,
or talk with them over
the phone. Once we
know what their concerns and wants are,
we go to work for
them. We pick several realtors that fit their
needs and they determine which one they
feel most comfortable with. Once they
do that, everything
else falls into place.”.
When asked about the
obstacles most people
encounter, Hanzimanolis states, “Most people in today’s economy have some items
on their credit. They
think they can’t get
a mortgage because
someone at their local
bank told them they
couldn’t work with
their credit scores. I
review their credit and
help them get it fixed.
Sometimes it’s an easy
fix, and they’re ready
in 30 days to proceed”.
Bankers First Mortgage was founded
in 1992 and has lent
nearly $3 billion in
residential mortgages in this area. They
were awarded the
prestigious honor of
“National Mortgage
Company of the Year”
in 2008 by Fannie Mae,
and have been called
upon to help draft
consumer protection
legislation on several
occasions in Washington DC. I encourage
anyone that wants to
buy a home to contact
Bankers First Mortgage at 570-620-9561
or visit our secured
website at www.BankersFirst.com and let us
go to work for you!
A different world cannot be build by indifferent people.

Millennial Mortgage
Myths Debunked: A
New Light On
Homeownership
( N A P S A ) - T h e
American Dream may
have looked like more
of a nightmare to the
millions of millennials who entered the
workforce in recent
years-but there could
be good news.
This
generation,
born between 1981 and
the early 2000s, has a
desire to pursue passion over traditional
expectations. Dreams
of white picket fences
have been replaced by
a strong desire to invest in the future. This
shift, however, means
many millennials pay
rent instead of a mortgage.
“Millennials have

lows, making payments quite affordable
while gaining valuable equity.
2. I need a larger
payment: Millennials
often assume their
limited years’ worth
of savings won’t equal
a large enough down
payment on a home.
The reality is, with
standard Fannie Maeand Freddie Mac-insured loans, a down
payment as low as
5 percent is enough,
while
FHA-insured
loans only require 3.5
percent.
3. My credit score
is too low: With the
stresses of credit card
debt and student
loans, millennials often struggle to maintain a desirable credit
score.
Fortunately,
several
programs,
including the FHA
mortgage, offer favorable credit score minimums.
4. The process is
complicated and confusing: With their busy
lives, millennials often
assume the process of
buying a home is too
burdensome.

5.
Homeowners
must take on a 30-year
payment: Thirty years
can seem overwhelming for the millennial
with a lifestyle fueled
by the ability to be
free. In reality, many
out
lenders offer terms
ranging from eight to
30 years, for as much
flexibility as desired.
Of the positive outlook for millennials,
Gurman adds, “The
future of our housing economy looks
bright for millennials
looking to re-evaluate
their current financial
hopes and dreams.”
A Fresh Approach To
Fresh Air
(NAPSA)-If
you
think a screen door is
a great way to let fresh
air in and keep insects
out of your home, you
may want to retract
that. The door, that is.
That’s because you
can now get a screen
door that retracts
into its frame, hidden
from view so it’s there
when you need it and
out of sight when you
don’t. One such door,
the Brisa Retractable
Screen Door, is mounted to the outside of
the doorframe rather
than the inside like
many others, so you
get a full, clear view
of the outside without
losing valuable walkthrough space. You
also avoid the annoying banging and slamming of traditional
hinged screen doors.
What’s more, Brisa is easy to install
yourself
whether
you have inward- or
o u t w a rd - s w i n g i n g
single-entry
doors,
sliding patio doors or
double doors.
Three-Step
Installation
Brisa requires a mere
30 minutes to install
from start to finish and
a single tool: a power
drill. It takes just three
simple steps:
1. Assemble the five
components.
2. Place the screen
onto the door frame.
3. Secure the screen
onto the door frame.

that homeownership
means a financial burden and stress,” said
mortgage lender Joel
Gurman. “The reality
is our current housing
market, paired with
the financial opportunities made possible
by generationally low
interest rates, have
opened up homeownership to many people and have actually
proven renting to be
an expensive and unnecessary burden.”
Here are five mortgage myths and actualities for millennials:

more expensive than
renting: Unlike rent
money, a mortgage

“Mom didn’t want to go to Personal Care ...
It was tough! Mom didn’t even want to think
about Personal Care. She kept insisting that
she could manage. I was tempted to remind her
that it was me that took her shopping and to the
hairdresser and the doctors appointments and
the pharmacy but that really wasn’t the crux of
the matter at all. After all she’s done for me, I
was happy to help out, to do what I could to help
her stay in her home. It was the not knowing
that kept me up at night. Not knowing whether
she was eating regularly, if she had taken her
medication or if she’d fallen or left the stove on.
I worried constantly and so did my brother so we
started checking in on her more often. Eventually we arranged for home care for a couple of
hours every day but no matter what measures
we took we couldn’t shake the feeling that she
was in a rut and had lost that spark. She seemed
to lack direction, sleeping odd hours and staring
at the TV seemingly unaware of what she was
watching half the time.
After a family meeting and no small amount
of consternation we agreed to suggest to her
that she begin to think about a Personal Care
Residence. As you might imagine she wasn’t
crazy about the idea. The only concession she
would make was that she would at least visit a
couple of facilities for ‘future reference.’ The visit
to Walden III was a revelation to her. I can only
imagine what she expected to find but what she
did see, people her age engaged in all sorts of
activities or talking animatedly at meals, clearly
made an impression on her and although she
wasn’t ready to ‘sign on’ then and there, the
seed had been planted and within a month she
agreed to at least give it a try.
It’s been positive for everyone involved! Within a couple of weeks, Mom’s focus shifted from
all that she was ‘giving up’ to all that she’s getting. The staff and the residents both seemed to
understand what a vulnerable time it can be for
newcomers and everyone gave her a very warm
reception. The residents are a very nice group
of people and their desire to want to continue
to do as much as they can for themselves was
contagious and Mom seemed to get a boost
from the start. I think the key to the whole thing
is that they’re engaged in life and now thankfully
so is Mom.
She still won’t say to us that she thinks the
move was necessary or that she’s happy to be
there but when my brother or I have her home
for dinner or a family event at some point during
the visit she will invariably inform us that she
“should probably be getting home!”
... but she’s glad she did!
Just the right amount of care at the right price.

(NAPSA)-Finding
an auto repair shop
you can trust can be
a challenge. Here are
three warning signs to
watch for on your next
trip to the mechanic.
• While no one likes
to be overcharged, beware of estimates that
are well under market
rate. This can be a sign
the mechanic is using
low-quality or even
used parts. Some mechanics use lowball estimates to lure you in
for additional repairs
that they will tack on
later.

nology is rapidly
evolving and some
shops fail to keep up.
Without
up-to-date
diagnostic tools, a mechanic could misdiagnose your problem,
which means you’ll
pay for unnecessary
repairs that don’t even
fix your original problem.
