Buying a Home in Austin, Texas – Step One: Get Pre-Approved for Mortgage Financing
Buying a Home in Austin, Texas – Step One:
Get Pre-Approved for Mortgage Financing
This is the first post in a series designed to get you prepared for what to expect when you are considering buying a home in the Austin area. I intend to link to the other parts as soon as they have been written.
When you are ready to begin shopping for a home to buy, it is best to start by determining how much you can afford, so that you don’t waste time with properties that are out of your price range. I realize that this is not the glamorous or exciting part to buying a home in Austin, but it is a necessity and not as painful as you may think.
Mortgage
But how do you begin?
Our team works with a trusted network of mortgage professionals who can assist you in getting pre-approved for a loan so that you can comfortably begin looking at homes with the assurance that you can obtain the proper financing. Give us a call anytime and we can provide some names to get you started. But the fact of the matter is I have ONE trusted mortgage professional that I send all of my business to because I have complete trust and confidence in his services. He has proven himself to be on top of the ball, detailed, operates out of honesty and integrity, under promises and over delivers, and always beats deadlines. His name is: Chad Mullenix an Executive Mortgage banker with LeaderOne Financial.
Chad Mullenix’s Contact Information:
Mobile: 512.657.8017
Office: 512.356.9436
Email: Chadmullenix@leader1.com
Feel free to speak to any mortgage professional that you would like to – I just happen to recommend Chad since he does such an outstanding job and operates out of the same motto as me: Service based! Like I said I have a network of trusted mortgage professionals if you desire to compare apples to oranges in regards to the fees.
Pre-Approval vs. Pre-Qualification
Generally, our mortgage contacts can help you with a pre-qualification by getting some basic information (address, social security numbers, etc.) over the phone or internet. This only takes a few minutes, including pulling your credit report.
In order to get fully pre-approved, you will be required to provide all of the normal documentation required, which would include:
* Full loan application
* 2 years of tax returns, W-2 forms
* Year-to-date pay stubs
* A couple of months’ worth of bank statements
* List of monthly debt, account numbers, minimum payments, and balance
* Address of mortgage company or landlord for past 2 years
* Driver’s license
* If VA financing is wanted, you will need your VA Certificate of Eligibility (DD214)
In Austin, most lenders will require you to pay for your credit report and property appraisal upfront. This would run $400 or thereabouts. The appraisal is a third-party assessment of the value of the home you choose.
Comparing Lenders
If you choose to purchase a new home, many builders have mortgage companies that will offer large incentives to use them. Sometimes, the offer is too good to pass up. We can help you to compare “apples to apples” by looking at the estimates provided by lenders that you speak with. A GFE (good faith estimate) is the only way to easily compare quotes. Sometimes, you might get a lower interest rate from one place, but they charge exorbitant fees. We can help you to avoid potential pitfalls.
I always require that my clients begin the loan process before we begin looking actively at homes together, in order to best spend my time and yours. Believe me, it is much more productive this way. As I have said many times to potential buyers, you would hate to find “the perfect home”, only to later realize that you won’t be able to get a mortgage for it.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call me anytime at 512-771-0754 (cell) or email: mlatxrealestate@gmail.com

Some positive News for Austin & Texas: Texas Poised to Outpace Nation (Again)
Some POSITIVE “News” for Austin and Texas in the article below. Basically the outlook is positive based on several key factors:
- Texas is a business friendly state with tax friendly policies and incentives which are enticing nation wide companies to relocate to Austin as well as the rest of Texas
- Low cost of living for the employees of the companies that are relocating to Texas
- Job growth in several key sectors in Texas
I’m so lucky to live in Texas and especially Austin. If you don’t live in Texas you should 
TEXAS POSTED TO OUTPACE NATION (AGAIN)
COLLEGE STATION (Real Estate Center) – Texas’ economic outlook for 2012 is positive. Job growth is occurring in several sectors, and a low cost of living is enticing businesses to move to the Lone Star State.
It will be tougher going for the nation, however, because of several factors. The housing market needs to clear a high number of foreclosures. Consumers need to pay off their debt. The banking system needs to write off bad debt. Small businesses need to start hiring again.
Writing for the January issue of Tierra Grande magazine, Real Estate Center Chief Economist Dr. Mark Dotzour says, “Fortunately, Texas is poised to outperform the U.S. averages. Home sales volume in Texas should show modest improvement over 2011, and prices should be stable throughout 2012.” Dotzour’s economic outlook is titled “Texas Sails On: Nation Battles Headwinds.”
If your thinking about visiting Austin and taking a closer look into to the local real estate market and considering a move I encourage you to reach out to me and give me a ring: 512.771.0754 or drop me an email: mlatxrealestate@gmail.com
It would be my pleasure being your personal Tour Guide & Ambassador to this great place we call Austin, Texas.
The only way to get a closer look is to come visit and explore this Rock ‘in town we call Austin. The term that I’m sure you have heard: “Keep Austin Weird” is a marketing slogan but it’s also who we are – were weird because we are special and different. Unlike any other city in the world. Trust me but don’t take my word for it.. come explore and find out for yourself. That’s what I did back in 1999…. I came down for a long three day weekend and three months later my bags were packed and I was officially moved in just in time to celebrate New Years in my new city! Now that I’ve lived in Austin for over 12 years I get to claim the title Austinite – it’s a title I wear proudly and so can you …. so let me help.
It would be my pleasure to serve you and your real estate needs regardless of if you are all ready living in Austin or considering the move.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Keep Austin Rock’in,

Harris Branch & Belhaven Real Estate Market Update
Harris Branch & Belhaven Real Estate Market Update: January 2012
Theirs no need to cloud the truth or fudge the numbers. Harris Branch and Belhaven has been hit with a wave of bank foreclosures. The reality of the situation is this is great news if your a buyer in Harris Branch or Belhaven but no so much good news if your a seller. This news hits close to home because not only am I Harris Branch and Belhaven’s neighborhood Real Estate expert which effects my business but I’m also your neighbor which effects my own home value. I’ve owned a house for the last four years on Cromarty Cove with my adorable puppy Maximus.
If your not in a hurry to sell your home or not in a desperate situation now is not the time. I would encourage you to hold off, hunker down, or look to rent out your property if you have to. But if you are left with no other options and you must list your home because your moving out of state then that’s a different story.
If you are currently living in Harris Branch or Belhaven and or thinking about moving into the neighborhood I would encourage you to like the Harris Branch Neighborhood fan page: http://www.facebook.com/Harrisbranch to keep up with all the local news and what’s happening in your neighborhood! It’s a great way to keep up with your neighbors and form better relationships.
Harris Branch and Belhaven is a beautiful master-planned community in northeast Austin just off of Highway 290 and Parmer Lane. This little sleepy community features over 2,000+ homes, and has over eight subdivisions.
* Recreational facilities
* basketball and tennis courts
* Junior Olympics-sized pool
* Jogging trails
* On-site daycare
* Lots of beautiful small lakes and ponds dot the landscape
Tech-industry workers living in Harris Branch and Belhaven can look forward to easy commutes, thanks to tech industry giants like Dell, Samsung, Applied Materials, and others. You are only 11 miles away from the University of Texas campus and Texas Memorial Stadium which is home to the UT longhorns football team. Being so close to the university makes it an attractive community to call home for the University of Texas professors, students, and alumni. Also an easy drive south in little over 12.7 miles you will be enjoying all of downtown Austin’s favorite attractions such as live music, entertainment, delicious food, and all of Austins’ famous culture and nightlife.
Now to the Numbers:
Sold during the last 120 days in Harris Branch and Belhaven (Sept, Oct, Nov, & Dec) 2011:
- 5 homes sold between Sept 1st and Dec 31st
- Median sold price: $138,000
- Median days on the market: 113 days
- Most expensive home sold: $152,000
- Median Sold $ / Sq Ft price: $67 per sq ft.
Foreclosed during the last 120 days in Harris Branch and Belhaven (Sept, Oct, Nov, & Dec) 2011:
- 6 homes sold between Sept 1st and Dec 31st
- Median sold price: $115,000
- Median days on the market: 74 days

Active Listings in Harris Branch and Belhaven:

- Median home features: 2,752 sq ft, 4 beds, 2 bath
- Median days on the market for active homes: 90 days
- Foreclosed/REO homes on the market: 2 homes
Note: Having a Buyers Market does not mean that Buyers can have their way with making super low ball offers, but it does mean sellers are going to have to be realistic and not over price their home from the start. The key to selling your home for top dollar is setting a realistic list price from day 1 by not getting greedy and over pricing your home for the first 6o-90 days and then having to drastically lower the price of your home by 10-20% after 90 days. The good news for the sellers of Harris Branch and Belhaven is typically you have two types of buyers: A) Those wanting a home that’s not bank owned (foreclosure) and B) Those wanting a bank owned property. Typically bank owned properties are in bad shape, foundations need repair, and left in bad shape, not always but typically many bank owned properties will require a lot of fixing up to bring up to a liveable standard.

Fu*K Wall Street (Get Your Money Back)
Hey!
Yeah I said it. “FU*K Wall Street!”
Wall Street is broken.
Washington is corrupt.
And your wealth, (what you have now AND whatever you make in the future)…
It’s under attack.
Need proof?
Tell me – how did you 401K/IRA, mutual funds or stocks do last year?
Not so good? Or… non-existent returns?
The top 13 mutual funds based on a CNN survey got 0.25% in 2011 so far. Your savings account is paying more… and it’s GUARANTEED interest.
Something is severely wrong with how you can save, protect, and grow your money in these economic times.
But you can escape this financial mess.
Over the last twelve months, my good friend, real estate client, and business mentor, Mike Dillard from Austin, TX has gotten on the plane and flew all over the country looking for self-made millionaires, under-the-radar businessmen and quiet entrepreneurs who have net worth of least $10 million to $1 billion.
He had one simple question for them:
“How do you protect and even grow your money during this economic crisis?
HINT: It’s NOT on Wall Street.
They do what Mike calls “BLACK BOX” strategies.
Mike has collected over 15 safe, reliable and proven wealth strategies that safely return anywhere from 10.5% to 27% annually.
He calls them “black box strategies” because it
seems like only the ultra-rich know about them…
even though nearly ANYONE can use them. (They just
don’t know about them).
One of these “black box” strategies has tripled
his money since 2008.
Discover what it is here:
=> Another puts his money in a tax-sheltered,
hidden-from-creditors vehicle that pays 8-10%
annually with a guaranteed principle (meaning, it
NEVER goes below what you put in).
=> Yet another shows you how you can safely,
reliably make 27% annually for the next 20 years.
And finally, even if you don’t think you have
“extra money” to invest…
You need to watch this video Mike just put
together…
Why?
Because he’ll also introduce you to someone who
can “crack open” your IRA/401K and put it in
better investments than what Wall Street
prescribes you
(i.e. mutual funds that don’t perform and steal
1.5% management fees every year even when they
lose money)
Mike is revealing FOUR of these “black box” strategies for FREE here…
Keep Rock ‘in,
Matthew

P.S. All four of the “black box” strategies above
has very little to NOTHING to do with Wall Street.
The ultra-rich are smart enough to stay away from
that filthy swamp. They use out-of-the-box
thinking instead.
You can too

The 7 stage progression of every Empire
My good friend and mentor Mike Dillard just re-opened The Elevation Group today and I wanted to write a blog post about the 7 stage progression that acts as a “pattern” for every major empire since the beginning of time.
No matter how things change every thing still remains the same. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying you can predict the future by studying the past. This may be partially true but Mike Dillard makes an interesting point “I am not a major student of historic events because I believe there is a more reliable predictor of future: human nature- of which I AM an avid student.
Because no matter how much our society has grown technologically or how much knowledge we have acquired, at the END of the DAY, we are still HUMAN. Our decisions, patterns, and behaviors are still dictated by the one thing from which we can never escape: our nature and our drive to AVOID PAIN and PURSUE PLEASURE.”
Mike hits the nail on the head with his assessment of the human condition. One just has to look at Black Friday where literally you had hundreds of thousands of Americans waiting hours and hours in the cold to have a shot at buying goods and electronics at a discount. You have a waffle riot at Wal-Mart where dozens of customers are fighting over a supply of $2 waffle makers. In another case you have a Wal-Mart shopper in Los Angeles use pepper spray to fend of customers in the Xbox aisle injuring about 20 people. These are perfect examples of the great lengths humans will go to bring about pleasure or to avoid pain. The fear of loss comes into play here as well but that’s a topic for another day. Experts say well we have evolved as creatures and with knowledge and technology we hold all the power to fix or prevent any challenge that may come about. But the experts are forgetting the one and only thing that matters most….
My point is simple… regardless of if it’s Rome days, Colonial days, or now here in 2011 that were still the same animal behind the wheel and that our nature has not changed. In fact, as my friend Michael Maloney documents in his recent book on the history of currencies, “Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver,” there’s a 7-stage progression that happens over and over again…
- STAGE 1: A country starts out with good money, which is either gold, or backed by gold.
- STAGE 2: As it develops economically and socially, it begins to take on more and more economic burdens, adding layer upon layer of public works and social programs.
- STAGE 3: As its economic affluence grows so does its political influence and it increases expenditures to fund a massive military.
- STAGE 4: Eventually it puts its military to use and expenditures explode.
- STAGE 5: To fund the war – the costliest of man’s endeavors – it steals the wealth of its people by replacing their money with currency that can be created in unlimited quantities.
Chart of Military Spending ($Billions)
It does this at the outbreak of war; as in the case of WWI, during the Vietnam War, or as a perceived solution to the economic ravages of previous wars as Germany did after WWI.
Despite the fact that this chart from 2005, it clearly shows the massive disparity between the military spending of the US vs. the rest of the world.
And the trend is increasing exponentially, with $711 Billion going to the military in 2008 vs. $420 Billion seen here in 2005.
- STAGE 6: Finally, the wealth transfer caused by the expansion of the currency supply is felt by the population as severe consumer price inflation, triggering a loss of faith in the countries currency.
- STAGE 7: An en masse movement out of the currency into precious metals and other tangible assets take place, the currency collapses, and massive wealth is transferred to those who had enough foresight to position their money into the right asset class before hand (example: Gold & Silver, Real Estate, Oil & Gas, etc)
Once you are registered inside Mike will demonstrate in more detail within the Elevation Group videos about how right NOW we are in the United States sitting between Stage 6 and Stage 7. It’s scary to even think about that we … the good old USA have gotten ourselves this far down the rabbit hole and we are on verge of being the next great failed Empire!
It’s important for you to know the timing of all this and what’s happening today, and also how you can profit from it…
United States: Consumer Credit Outstanding (year-over-year difference, US$ bins)
On the surface, most people think the severe recession we’re in right now is a result of the busted housing bubble, which resulted in a massive credit contraction show here.
And while that is indeed the case, what people fail to realize is that the credit crunch is only 1 of 5 challenges we’re about to face, and in fact, the other 5 are much larger.
So what are these 5 major trends you ask?!?! We’ll I’ll give you a few hints: Housing Bubble, Record amounts of New Debt, Your Parents and Grandparents … Also known as Social Entitlement Program Obligations, the Great 401K Fake-Out or Pull-Out, and Peak Oil!
But to learn about these 5 MAJOR CHALLENGES that are looking us dead in the EYE you are going to have to go watch the full presentation yourself – You will also get an opportunity to watch PART 1 of Mike Dillard’s Elevation Group “Year-In-Review,” I was 1 of the lucky 12 Elevation Group members who got to attend the live filming of the event a few weeks ago here in Austin, TX at the beautiful swanky W Hotel and Residence in downtown Austin. Since you were not able to attend The Elevation Group “Year-in-Review” in person here’s your chance to watch PART 1 and here from Mike about his economic predictions for 2012, and it’s a MUST WATCH http://bit.ly/ukPFTh
The Changing Face of Austin Demographics
Top Demographic Trends for Austin, TX
-
Total growth and population increase during the decade:
Austin’s total growth increased incrementally over the past 50 years. During the 1960s, the total growth in Austin totaled 90,000. The numbers rose to 190,000 during the 70s and 250,000 in the 80s. By the 90s, the total growth number was almost 400,000 and in 2010, hit 466,000. The total population for the Austin-Metropolitan Area was 1,720,000 in 2010. The metropolitan area is often referred to as the Austin MSA, or the Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Austin MSA ranked third in a list of top 30 metropolitan areas ranked by percentage growth. In 2010, the City of Austin ranked 14th, just under San Francisco, for Top 30 largest cities in the country.
-
A decidedly suburban tilt to the decade’s population growth:
From 2000-2010, almost 72 percent of all population growth came from the suburbs. This is a significant shift from the 1990s when the growth coming from the suburbs was only 52 percent.
-
A lumpy landscape of population growth and decline within the central city:
There are various attributions to these changes, including many middle-class families fleeing from the central city to the suburbs; a big overall drop in household size; a steep increase in the cost of central-city housing, large-scale changes in the racial and ethnic makeup of many central neighborhoods; and unequal tear-downs and rebuilds in terms of total units.
-
Deep urban pooling and suburban sprawling of working-class households:
The total population growth of whites was 176,000 compared to almost 200,000 Hispanics from 2000-2010.
-
Significant suburbanization of African-American households:
From 2000-2010, Austin was one of the top cities where African-Americans moved to its suburbs. Other cities that made the list include Atlanta, New York, Dallas, Denver, San Jose, and Los Angeles.
-
Substantial increase in international immigration:
Immigrants played a part in population growth, with 65 percent domestic migration, 28 percent natural immigration and eight percent international immigration. The domestic percentage slowed to 41 percent domestic migration, growing to 36 percent for natural immigration and 23 percent for international immigration.
-
New growth numbers for the very young, baby boomers and seniors:
In 2010, the under-five age group was 122,000; there were 60,000 boomers and 19,000 seniors. Austin was one of the metro areas with the fastest growing pre-senior (age 55-64) and senior (65 and older) population from 2000-2010. Other cities on the list are Raleigh, Madison, Salt Lake City and Portland.
-
The Asian boom:
From 1970 to 2010, the total Asian population grew to 82,000. Asians make up over six percent of the total Austin population, with Houston’s Asian population at 5.8 percent. The total Asian population includes 29.9 percent Indian; 23.1 percent Chinese, 15.2 percent Vietnamese, 13.0 percent other, 11.0 percent Korean, 5.4 percent Filipino; and 2.4 percent Japanese.
-
Hispanics now dominating the younger cohorts:
Compared to other races under age 18, Hispanics make up 50 percent; Anglos are 31.8 percent; African-Americans are 8.3 percent; Asians 5.7 percent; and 3.3 percent are other.
Austin and its suburban cities continue to boom, with an increase in African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, as well as the baby-boomers and seniors. It will be interesting to see how Central Texas and its populations evolve over the next decade.
This data came from City of Austin Demographer Ryan Robinson, who studies data mapping and interpretation, population change, and the rise of socioeconomic inequality.
