4015 W. McNab Rd Apt 303D is Sold!

Windward Lakes investment propertyon Dec 15th my listing at 4015 W. McNab Rd Apt 303D was sold. The 3 bedroom unit in Windward Lakes was a tenant occupied investment property. It had been listed for $143,500 and closed for $139,000. Occupied investment properties tend to take longer to sell because showing the unit can be a challenge. Still it was on the market for only 68 before it was sold in an all cash deal.

The unit has rental income of $1500 a month. Windward Lakes in Pompano Beach has few rental restrictions and units tend to rent very quickly making it an attractive complex to invest in.

Mortgage Help For Those in the Path of Hurricane Irma

The State of Florida has been declared a Disaster Area by the Federal Government. 

If you have a mortgage on your home, your lender is required by law to give you a three month Forbearance on your mortgage payments with no cost implications or negative affects on your credit report. This is required by Federal Law.

A three month break from making mortgage payments could really help reduce the financial disruption caused by hurricane Irma. In cases where there is damage to the home the forebearance could be for up to a year so your mortgage payments can be diverted to make the necessary repairs.

You must call your lender and request this forbearance 

Although they aren't required to, many banks are also eliminating fees for things like overdrafts or allowing borrowers to skip payments for other loans like car payments and credit cards. Check with your lender if hurricane Irma has put you in a financial pinch and see what they can do for you.

Those having trouble contacting the servicer can call 1-888-995-HOPE (4673) for assistance.

Homeowners with Fannie Mae Loans can call 1-800-2FANNIE (1-800-232-6643) for more information.

Owners with Freddie Mac loans can call 1-800-373-3343 and select option 2.

Information also is available for homeowners at FEMA.gov, HUD.gov and RedCross.org
