Portsmouth New Hampshire Real Estate - NH Bank-Owned Properties For Sale
2008-03-12 15:18:56
New Hampshire Bank-Owned Real Estate For Sale I wrote a post a little while back about buying bank-owned properties and the potential issues surrounding the purchases of bank-owned properties. All are sold in 'as-is' condition, but 'as-is' can mean different things to different banks who own those properties. And the majority of those bank-owned properties are typically in less-than-desireable condition most of the time. Some look as though the owner took really good care of the property, and others look as though they were beat up really badly by the previous owners. Potential buyers of bank-owned homes and condos really need to have their eyes wide-open when looking at buying real estate in these situations. Sure, you can get some really great deals, but those deals don't

Portsmouth NH Real Estate - Homebuyers and The Importance of Credit Scores
2008-03-18 18:34:02
If you're thinking about buying real estate in the Portsmouth NH and Maine Seacoast areas, here are some important things to know about credit scores and how that impacts your ability to obtain a home mortgage. Your credit score is more important today than ever before, and if you've got a good credit score, you want to do everything you can to protect that good score. Your credit score is a good indicator of how likely you are to pay off your debts on time. The more likely your credit history shows this to be, the better the mortgage program will be that you qualify for. The higher your credit score, the better you look to mortgage companies and banks.
