Mortgage Lender In Magnolia, TX



About: I have been in the mortgage industry about 15 years now. I am married with two daughters and my wife is a second grade teacher. After 15 years, there isn't much that i haven't seen when it comes to mortgage. My mortgage career has taken me from Victoria, to Austin, to San Antonio and I now call Montgomery, Texas home. I do loans all over the great State of Texas from Brownsville to Abilene and anywhere between. Besides originating mortgages, I am also a registered financial advisor and hold my Series 7, Series 66, along with Insurance license in the fields of Life and Health and Property and Casualty. I am strong believer in personal growth and education and by having these licenses, I am able to share share this knowledge with my clients and give them the service they deserve. Just as a doctor or any other professional pursues education, I believe we as originators should also for our clients. My personal time is spent with a few different service organizations. I am a Lion and belong to Conroe Noon Lions Club there in Conroe. I also serve on our home owners association and have been the President a number of years. I am heavily involved with softball for my young girls as well as umpire in a number of the leagues in the Montgomery area. I would like to also say "Thank You" to our teachers, policemen, firemen and those that serve. We all know the pay is not great, but that isn't what it is about. To the men and women who defend our country, there is no way I can ever show enough gratitude to you. If you would like to discuss in more detail or ask any questions, you can reach me on my cell at 281-844-3690 or email me at mike.kelly@corelending.com. You can also reach me toll free at 800-680-2805. I look forward to working with you as a client and I hope blessings fall on you and your family in great abundance.

In answer to: I would like to sell my current home and buy another one more spacious.what do i need to do?
Esther, one of the first things you need to do is get pre-approved for the mortgage if you don't plan on paying cash. You most likely won't have an issues since you already own a home. Checking your credit up front will let you know if you have any issues that need to be addressed you may not be aware of. If you do plan on paying cash, you may want to talk to a financial advisor and come up with a plan to leverage your situation. I do both if you are looking for that kind of help. One of the next things I would do, if you haven't done so already, is put together your wish list. This will give you and the realtor a good idea of what you are looking for. No matter what you do, make sure to get a great realtor and a great mortgage specialist. Good luck on your endeavors, let me know if I can help in any way, and God Bless.

In answer to: How do I list a property for lease?
Go to the Q&A all the way down to contact corporate directly and they should be able to help you. I would also talk to a realtor and they may list it for you which if you do that, they take care of vetting the renter and finding you someone good because they will know what to look for. I would actually utilize the second option because they are going to promote your property other places in addition to this site.

In answer to: Hi all! I have been reading a lot about rent to own deals. Are they legit? Thank you!
I have seen them before but as you can see from the answers of my colleagues, rent to own is not the best route to go. Most often rent to own is done to individuals with poor or no credit. You have to keep great records and sooner or later, you are going to be looking to refinance and as a mortgage lender we are going to ask fro every document avaialble to satisfy investors and the federal government that it is a legitimate transaction. I would stongly suggest looking into getting a loan and doing the work needed to qualify on your own so that house is yours, you get the tax advantages, and all the other glories that come with owning your own home. If I can be of any help, please feel free to give me a call.

In answer to: I'm interested in this property, what steps do I need to take next?
One of the first steps that needs to be done is talk to a qualified mortgage banker. That is where someone like myself comee in. We can go over all the programs available to you such as potential bond money that will help you with your down payment. FHA requires 3.5% down so that is usually going to be the most inexpensive route unless we are able to secure bond money for the down payment. There are closing costs involved but there is always a possibility that the seller will help pay for those costs also. If you don't have a realtor, I would also suggest the fine services of many of the realtors on here. Once they know you can qualify, all of them would be happy to help.
