People usually do not know the difference between cash and equity when it comes to homes. They think they are the same but they are two differences all together. Either they pay cash down on the home loan or they pay cash for the home. The down payments help to buy the home and are part of the equity. The equity is the value of the home minus the loan balance.

The reason many people put cash down on the mortgage is to reduce the monthly payment and the lender requires the down payment to qualify for the loan. Some pay more down on the loan to avoid the higher interest charges for the life of the loan. While others decide they want to own the home faster without the loan restraining them from have a clear title to the home.

Equity of the home creates a different meaning since it is the market value of the home minus the loan balance. If the homeowner pays more for the down payment, they will have a larger amount of equity in the home as long as the value of the home does not decrease. In the economy today, this has happened reducing the equity of many homes.

Equity is a liquid asset where as cash is a liquid asset. To get the equity out of the home, the owner will have to refinance the home or sell the home. Equity takes longer to get a hold of where as cash is easily obtainable. It is not wise to count on the equity as an asset since the value of the property changes thus changing the value of the equity. It is nice to know there is positive equity in the property yet to rely on the equity, as a fast means of having money is not something to be counted on.

One of problems with equity is sometimes it has be discounted in order to get the cash value of the property. Many people have been victims of this fact when they sale their home thinking they will get a certain amount of money only to find out they get a reduced amount. This happens from the home sale since there are costs involved with the sale such as closing costs, realtor commission fees, loan origination fees, and even points the seller pays to help the buyer out with their loan. These are factors to consider when selling a home or refinancing to get the equity for other bills or expenses.

Knowing the difference between cash and equity will make decisions easier when relying on the money from the equity in the future. It is wise to know all the costs associated with selling the home or property since they will affect the final value of the equity.

Look at the fascia and soffit of the roof to see if there are signs of rotting wood or termite damage. Look at the top of the roof for loose shingles. Inside the house, look at the ceilings to for water damages, discoloration or holes. This is a sure sign of a possibly leaky roof.

This is a great method for both the buyers and the sellers of home or property. This article concentrates on the buyers. The sellers have an issue since they need to sell the property to obtain something they want or to avoid something they have but cannot afford to keep. This creates motivation on the part of the seller. They usually want to sell their property badly, which creates an advantage to the buyer.

Stating the benefits for the seller is the key to getting the best deals. Since they are motivated to sell, they are looking for any benefit they can find. Speed of the transaction creates a great benefit to the seller. Let the seller know if they act now on the deal they will get their money faster to solve many of their problems.
Mention the sale will bring them peace of mind they are seeking. Tell them if they sell the property now they will not have to worry about another payment, the insurance, or the maintenance on the property any longer than necessary.

Mention how if they are concerned about any credit problems the sale of the property will help them avoid further credit issues since they will not have the liability of the mortgage any longer.

Mention the capital gains they receive when selling the property. Money is a big motivator for many people, especially sellers. Hearing they will have a capital gain or extra cash will cause the seller to move faster towards selling the property.

Mention the fact of no longer having the interest that is very expensive. People love to save money so when the person sells the property they will stop all the interest accruing on the property mortgage. This adds to the seller being more motivated for the sale.

Mention how when they sale the property they are now free to purchase another property more of their liking and needs. Once again, play on the seller’s needs of earning money they can spend for things they want to buy.

Mention how if they do not sell they may not have the same opportunity as they have right now. Kind of the take it or lose it type of comment. Some sellers are afraid of losing the best deal so they will be motivated to sell before losing the chance to make the money as well as possibly having to continue to make the payments on the property they may not be able to afford.

Do not make the comments as a push too much or you could lose the seller’s interest. No one likes to be forced to do things they are not comfortable doing so always listen to what the seller is saying in all areas of their life to make a better judgment for any of the comments not to make. Keeping the seller comfortable will produce the sale and is more beneficial to you when you take the time to listen to the seller.
