Any advice for a first time home buyer?
What should I be looking out for?
I haven't bought anything yet, so I need advice. It would be my husband and I's first home. Should we go through an agent, owner, etc...
Should I look for specific things in a house?
Tears In Rain
Question answered by Dan B
Google for information. I can only give you a limited amount from what I've learned in 40 years.
1. Get your own agent. Don't use the agent that's listed with the house you plan to buy. He's representing the interests of the seller, not you. Since you are inexperienced, never consider going through an owner.
2. Figure out how much mortgage you can afford. Don't let a lender tell you what you can afford. That's what got everyone in the mortgage mess that we're in now. I can afford a $160,000 mortgage, but my lender said I can qualify for a $220,000 mortgage. WRONG. What I can afford is much different that what I can qualify for. Their numbers would have left me with no wiggle room for repairs or upgrades, or other unexpected expenses.
3. Do what you can to shed as much debt as possible. Then pre-qualify for your loan. That way you'll know what price range you should be considering for a home. You won't waste your time or your agent's time looking at homes you cannot afford.
4. Don't take on any new debt within 6 months of your planned purchase or after you pre-qualify. Wait until after closing. Taking on new debt will change your profile and will most likely require another qualification effort, credit check, etc.
5. Start saving money NOW. The more you have in savings, the more favorable your lender will consider your credit profile. and loan request. You'll need about 5%-6% of the purchase price for FHA/VA loans (3.5% down, plus another 2.5% for prepaids - taxes, insurance, loan fees, etc). Conventional will probably require 20% down.
6. Get on the internet and look for crime and sex offender statistics in the area you plan to buy.
7. Visit the neighborhood on Fri & Sat nights to see what goes on during "party nights". Everyone is at work during the day. You don't want to move into a neighborhood where people are outside playing loud music that you can hear inside your home. That's why we moved out of your old neighborhood. Mariachi music from 7:00 to 10:30 pm almost EVERY NIGHT! Quality of life went downhill. That's not to say that the neighborhood won't change - it most definitely will.
8. Check the schools if you have children or plan of them.
9. Get a "Seller's Property Disclosure Statement". This is a statement from the seller of all known deficiencies in the property. This is in addition to a home inspection.
10. DO NOT go with an ARM loan. They ALWAYS adjust up to beyond your ability to pay, seldom do they adjust down. 15/20/30 yr fixed is your best option.
11. Define what you want in the home. Floor plan, square footage, # beds, # baths, electrical service (200 amp or more - nothing less), heating and cooling, how much is the electric bills (available from the utility company), etc. I've seen 960 sq ft 3 bed home. The bedrooms are a little larger than a walk-in closet. So, be sure to define what you want in the home.

Is it normal for insurance company to take photos of electrical meter?
StateFarm wants to come to my home to take photographs of the electrical service and meter to prove that I have 150 Amp service before they can begin the homeowner's policy. Is this normal? I have never heard of this before.New York State.
The house was built in 1850. I have had policies with other companies before going to StateFarm. No other company has requested to come inside of the house and take photographs. My real estate agent is surprised and says it is not standard practice for them to request to go inside of a home (according to her). That is why I am wonder, is it something new the ins companies are doing now? Or is it just because the age of the house, or is it just certain companies?

Question answered by mbrcatz
It's sort of normal.
Most insurance companies flat out won't insure a house over 75 years old - they'd just refuse you a policy, and not even bother inspecting.
But you can bet your bottom dollar that any insurance company willing to consider writing a house that old, is going to go over it with a fine tooth comb - checking for wiring is one of the primary inspection areas. They want to be darned sure when your house was converted to electric, it was done properly. Faulty wiring is one of the major causes of loss in those super old houses (heating & pipes systems the second, and failure to maintain the roof properly the third).
Your real estate agent just hasn't ever sold a house that old before, and isn't connecting the dots between the age of the home, and the inspection. In a 20 year old home, no one would be wanting to go inside of it. In a 160 year old home, darned tootin' they will, BEFORE writing it.
is this job legitimate?

He then called me on the phone Thursday, wants me to meet with his agent to receive office lease papers and office keys, to (in 2 weeks) arrive at the office at 9am to open the office. There was no interview between emails. A lot of he's told me DOES sound valid, but cashier's check concerns me. Also, the website doesn't work, when I asked him about it, he said it is currently under construction and will be back up next week..PLEASE HELP!!!

You can check http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/ccxvconsult.com to see if it is consistent with you current information - it doesn't look like it, at this point.
This is not enough of a job description for an international employer; if they don't have the resources to book their own hotel room, or expect you to help them find a house...
Even if this is legitimate, these people need to do a lot more homework than indicated here before moving stateside.
tell the something about reliance insurance?

Question answered by sanjubuddy
Jan 3,2006
RELIANCE General Insurance has received IRDA's nod to set up 17 branches in various cities across the country. Currently, the company has 15 offices.
Apart from opening four new branches in Mumbai and three in Delhi, the company will also spread its network to Nashik, Nagpur, Kolhapur, Solapur, Indore, Rajkot, Coimbatore, Chennai, Hubli, Vizag, Kochi, Gurgaon, Noida, Kanpur, Kolkata and Bhubaneshwar.
The company currently offers 75 insurance products and has plans to introduce new value added products in segments such as travel, health, home, rural, commercial and liability.
Reliance Life buys AMP Sanmar
July 31,2005
THE Chennai-based Sanmar group today announced the sale of its interests in AMP Sanmar Life Insurance Company to Reliance Life Insurance, a subsidiary of Reliance Capital Ltd (RCL).
An official statement from Reliance Life Insurance said: "The proposed acquisition will mark the immediate entry of RCL into the exciting growth area of life insurance in one of the world's fastest growing and most under-served markets."
RCL already has a subsidiary, Reliance General Insurance Co Ltd, which is present in the non-life insurance business.
AMP Sanmar Life Insurance Company is a joint venture of AMP, Australia and the Sanmar group.
Headquartered in Chennai, it has over 90 offices across the country, 9,000 agents, and more than 900 employees.
The decision to sell the company was taken consequent to AMP's intention to exit the insurance business in India.
The consideration for the deal has not been disclosed.
WhoGain What?
Reliance Capital : entry into life insurance as applying for license will take time .
Taking over AMP Sanmar Life will get Reliance Life a readymade infrastructure and a portfolio.
Sanmar group: going to get around Rs 300 cr from the sale
AMP : to exit from Indian operations as it will focus on wealth management business in Newzeland and Australia
Sanmar Said :
Asked about this, the Sanmar group Chairman, Mr N. Sankar, told Business Line that AMP had requested to keep the consideration confidential because of regulatory requirements in Australia. (AMP is a listed company in Australia.)
He added that Sanmar's stake in AMP Sanmar Life was through two investment companies of the group, which in turn are wholly owned subsidiaries of the group holding company, Sanmar Holdings Ltd.
A Sanmar release said that the group had "agreed to co-operate with AMP in selling its interests in the venture."
About this, Mr Sankar said that the Sanmar group had been open to a buyer buying only AMP's stake or the entire equity of the company.
On deploying the funds that come in, Mr Sankar said that group had no plans for any new venture.
"We have four businesses - chemicals, plastics, shipping, and engineering," he said, adding that all the four were growing.
Industry observers said that buying a licence-holding life insurance company makes sense for Reliance because its registration with the IRDA lapsed, as it did not start its business within three years of registration.
It is understood that Reliance Capital has applied afresh for a registration.
In 2003-04, AMP Sanmar issued 46,000 policies and earned premium income of Rs 28 crore.
In 2004-05, the company issued 35,000 policies but earned a premium income of Rs 91 crore.
AMP Sanmar has a capital base of Rs 217 crore and is present in about 80 cities mainly B class
