In the face of Hurricane Sandy and other natural threats

Two stories in the 11/4/12 edition of the New York Times talk about the weather and its impact on living on the water. My opinion boils down to this – build on the waterfront, be it ocean, lake, bay, lagoon or river, the Federal and state governments no longer step in to help you rebuild.

IF tropical storm Irene last year was an eye-opener, was a reality check. Waterfront property in the New York area is some of the most coveted in the nation, but after back-to-back years of supposedly once-in-a-generation storms, public officials, developers, brokers and homeowners are being forced to re-evaluate.

Read Would you buy on the Waterfront?

The Real Luxury: A Way Out The damage caused by Hurricane Sandy speaks to something so obvious it is often overlooked: New York City shores are not fit for living.

Big jump in VA mortgages reported

Applications for VA mortgages jumped 50% according to a story in the New York Times.

MORTGAGES guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs surged by 50 percent in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, as tighter credit standards on conventional financing made these programs all the more attractive to current and former military members.

VA mortgages are available to former and current members of the military.  My parents obtained one when they bought their home in 1960.  The attractiveness of the VA loan program is due to low rates guaranteed by the US government.

Borrowers also benefit now that rates have dropped.

Borrowers who already have a V.A.-backed mortgage can get an interest-rate reduction relatively easily. The department’s streamlined refinance program doesn’t require these borrowers to “re-prove” that they qualify, said Nathan Long, the chief executive of Veterans United Home Loans, an online broker of V.A. loans.

Information about VA loans is readily available on the Internet.  Read the full story here.
