Lethbridge Real Estate - Keyword Searches

Lethbridge Real Estate

lethbridge real estate

As I review my blog I am amazed at some of the strange things that I have posted and am now ranked in google for.  There are some pretty strange things that if you search for them, the top of the search comes up with this blog.  Now that was not my intention, heck I blog for the fun and entertainment of it as well as because it is good for my business.

 

Point of fact is that the majority of my clients still come directly from personal referrals.  However, second to that is the number of people who find me online.

 

In an effort to expand my presence I have decided I will increase the scope of my keyword content.  Some of the words and phrases that I plan to try to incorporate into future blog posts include:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lethbridge

real estate

mortgages

homes, houses, residences, rentals, condos

Lethbridge real estate

Lethbridge homes for sale

Lethbridge houses for sale

Open houses in Lethbridge

Lethbridge Realtor

Real Estate companies in Lethbridge

Lethbridge mortgage broker

Lethbridge interest rates

moving to Lethbridge

Lethbridge mortgages

Real estate agents in Lethbridge

Lethbridge MLS

Lethbridge Listings

 

I think those should be a good start.  The key to me is that I target only my local geographic region.  I realize that lots of people move from across the Province or Country, but the focus of my business is very local.  To that end, I will combine Lethbridge with all sorts of search words related to real estate and mortgage financing.   For now I will avoid subdivision specific search terms as I do not think they are generating enough search interest to bother with.  Hopefully with a week or two of focus I can improve the content and frequency of these words within my blog pages.  Improving the content and reach of this blog is always a hobby and interest of mine.

Lethbridge Real Estate - The weather is warm, the market is Hot!

Lethbridge Real Estate

The Lethbridge real estate market has remained surpisingly robust through the global economic turmoil.  There were a few months where things slowed down and the Lethbridge real estate market appeared to be taking a turn for the worse, but then as soon as the weather would warm up the Lethbridge real estate market would get buzzing again.

 

Currently, Lethbridge is enjoying some nice warm spring weather and that has the local real estate market going at full speed once again.  If you are thinking of selling real estate that you own, or are looking to purchase Lethbridge real estate for either your own residence or for real estate investment purposes, there are lots of great opportunities.

 

The Lethbridge real estate market remains strong for those who have the help of an experienced and skilled Lethbridge Realtor working for them.  There are bargains to be had and there are still great financing terms available from a Lethbridge mortgage broker.

 

We are bound to get a bit more cold weather before spring is officially here, but in the meantime, lets make the most of this great real estate market that we are experiencing and lets make some money.  Give me a call if you want to talk about the Lethbridge real estate market, real estate investments, or any aspects of real estate financing.

Lethbridge Real Estate - Lethbridge Mortgage Rates

Lethbridge Real Estate - Lethbridge Mortgage Rates

Here is a heads up to anyone who has been watching Lethbridge interest rates and waiting to make a move.  The bond market went crazy in Canada the past 2 days and by the end of today it will be even crazier.  This is putting huge pressure on interest rates to rise, as the lenders like to maintain a spread between the bond rate and the fixed long term mortgage rates.

 

Expect to see the 5 year fixed interest rates rise by at least .50% (thats half a percent!) before Monday.  I urge anyone who is sitting on the fence to get off their butts and get their financing or pre-approvals done ASAP!  I even expect that some lenders will jump the gun and raise rates before the close of business today.  Contact your Lethbridge Mortgage Broker today.  Contact your Lethbridge Realtor today.  Get on it.

 

If you are in a variable mortgage, this may not be an issue today, but it will soon.  Rates are moving up a bit and they are doing it NOW.

Lethbridge Real Estate - Buy Rental Property NOW

Lethbridge real estate - Buy Rental Property Now

 

Once again, I want to urge anyone who has been considering purchasing investment or Lethbridge rental real estate property in Lethbridge, to hurry up and act fast.  With the mortgage financing rules changing very soon it will become increasingly more expensive and difficult to purchase this type of property.  Please read my last post on this subject for the specifics of the changes for rental property mortgages.

 

I have just listed and have access to a couple of great rental properties.  The owners know that by selling them in March, they will have access to many more buyers than will be available after the rules change.  As a result of these changes I have a few new buyers and a few new sellers, who I will be trying to match up with each other and find properties and deals which work for everryone.  

 

If you are a potential buyer or are thinking of selling a Lethbridge rental property that you own, please contact me right away and maybe I have a client who will match up with your needs.

Lethbridge Real Estate - Rental Properties

Lethbridge Real Estate - Rental Properties

 

LAST CHANCE!!!

 

Just a heads up to all those Lethbridge real estate investors.  The rules regarding the financing of rental properties are changing in just over one months time.  After the rules change, it will no longer be possible to purchase revenue property with less then 20% downpayment.

 

However, if you act fast, you can still purchase under the existing rules.


I have lenders who will allow you to purchase rental properties with as little as 5% downpayment!  But you must act fast to take advantage of this before the rules change.  I urgently invite you to take advantage of this opportrunity before it is gone, as you will never again have opportunity to leverage your investment in a rental property like is currently available for the next month.

 

Here is an example of one mortgage product that I have available TODAY!

 

 

Rental Properties

  • Minimum Credit Score of 650
  • 80% Rental Offset for subject property
  • Up to 95 LTV Financing on 1-2 Units, 90 LTV Financing 3-4 Units.
  • Personal Lending only No Company names.
  • 80% Rental offset can be used for non-subject properties when it is verifiable to 2 of the following:
    • lease agreement (established)
    • economic rental value via appraisal (known rental – history)
    • bank statements (1year min)
    • Tax Returns.
  • No area or location restrictions
  • Down payment must be from own resources, no borrowed or gifted down payments accepted.
  • Maximum 5 properties (individual units) in portfolio including primary residence.
  • Max Mortgage of $1,000,000.00.

 

Beacon GDS TDS
680+ na 44%
Below 680 35% 42%
  • Fully Income Qualified.
  • All Rentals are insured regardless of LTV.
