Just wanted to alert you to the fact that they are in New York, aat Suffolk County Community College's Brentwood Campus, in Long Island, from today, August 15, through Sunday, August 19, at the Health, Sports and Education Center - 1001 Crooked Hill Road. You can take the Long Island Railroad from either Manhattan or Brooklyn, on the Ronkonkoma line to Brentwood. You would then transfer to one of the local buses (call <a target="_blank">631.852.5200</a> for schedule) which will take you directly to the campus. <br /> <br /> The daily schedule to Brentwood from LIRR in Manhattan is 8:14am; 9:14am; 10:14am, etc.<br /> The return is 8:52am; 9:52am; 10:52am - in other words the trains leave and return at either 14 past the hour or 52 past the hour respectively.<br /> <br /> The fares are $11.75 each way/off peak; $16.25 each way, peak; $8.00 for seniors each way.<br /> <br /> If you have a property getting ready to go into foreclosure, or a toxic mortgage, I strongly suggest you get your documents together and take advantage of the 80+ banks that are there to make instant onsite decisions. <br /> <br /> If you are a potential first time homebuyer, and are looking to purchase your first home - whether it be in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Westchester, Long Island, or any where else in the US, NACA has thebest mortgage ever - but I've already told you that several times.<br /> <br /> According to their schedule, this is the only time they'll be in the New York Area for months to come, where they have amassed the banks to make instant decisions. Whether you are living here in New York, or you're reading me from New Jersey, Connecticut, Philly or DC, since NACA is national, it really behooves you to get here and take advantage of their FREE ASSISTANCE. <br /> <br /> As I mentioned, NACA is touring the United States with their Home Save and First Time Homebuyer program-providing comprehensive assistance to those who are facing foreclosure, while at the same time providing the best mortgage ever for those homebuyers who are purchasing for the first time: No Down Payment; No Closing costs; Mortgage 1% below Prime. No one else does this. You don't have to have perfect credit; you just have to have good character and your documentation about your current living situation. They provide counseling and other services free. You are only required to attend their two-hour purchase workshop - MANDATORY - and they will then provide you with a counselor who will work with you throughout the entire process.</span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">The website is easy to maneuver: Locate your city and see when the next workshop will be in your area. You then go on line to sign up. Bring a notebook - a pen; they will provide you with an official NACA Booklet with all the details and paperwork you need to get started.</span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">In the New York Area there is an upcoming four-day NACA marathon in Long Island - August 15-19. For Oklahoma, Chicago, Philadelphia, just input your state and city and they will indicate when the next workshop is taking place. Additionally, many churches host NACA events to help people in their community; you may also attend these as well. Look up the number of the local NACA office in your area and find out if they have anything coming up that you can attend. The only rule is that you can not currently own or be on the deed of a home; they are not in the business of helping small time (or big time) investors. They are only helping those who want to own their own home and who will reside in the home as their primary place of residence. Additionally, there is a ceiling on how much you can pay for a home based on the size (one, two, three, or four family home; condo or co-op); and following the federal guidelines, the location may play into the maximum allowable mortgage. <br /> <br /> They will not allow a realtor to use emotional blackmail to force you into paying more than you can afford; and they will not send you to a realtor who does not value you as a client. All the realtors they use have been trained by NACA; if it is found they are violating their policies, they will no longer have access to you as a client.<br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /></span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">This is my favorite organization because they will not be pushed around by the banks and mortgage companies and have saved nearly 1 million homes from foreclosure since the Bush Administration put us in the trick bag we're in. Feel free to share this with your friends, family, even your enemies. We need to own something; we need to control our community. We should have a stake in where we live.<br /> <br /> If you think you can't own a home, look at this little chart and see where what you're paying in rent can actually end up servicing a mortgage. Interest rates will vary according to the prevailing rate at the time, so they are not included in the chart below. However remember when you factor in the rate that NACA's rates are always 1% below whatever the prevailing rate is. So you are still ahead of the game. If you follow my chart below, you will see how you are putting money into something for which you cannot get a deduction, over which you have no control; and cannot leave to your children or family members. <br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">If You Can Pay This - You Can Own This*</span><br /> <br /> $ RENT X 12 Month x 30 Years = $ MORTGAGE <br /> 400 4800 144,000 $144,000<br /> 500 6000 180,000 180,000<br /> 600 7200 216,000 216,000<br /> 750 9000 270,000 270,000<br /> 800 9600 288,000 288,000<br /> 900 10,800 324,000 324,000<br /> 1000 12,000 360,000 360,000<br /> 1200 14,400 432,000 432,000<br /> 1500 18,000 540,000 540,000<br /> 1750 21,000 630,000 630,000<br /> 2000 24,000 720,000 720,000<br /> 2300 27,600 828,000 828,000<br /> 2500 30,000 900,000 900,000<br /> 2700 32,400 972,000 972,000<br /> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">3000 36,000 1,080,000 1,080,000<br /></span></span> <span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">(c) "If You Can Pay This, You Can Own This" by Gloria Dulan-Wilson (c) 6/2012<br /> <br /> As you can see, there is almost no reason to continue paying cutthroat rent; even in New York City there are properties that you can afford to purchase. </span> <span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;"><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /></span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">If you need any additional info, please feel free to contact me. </span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">Stay Blessed &</span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">ECLECTICALLY BLACK</span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;">Gloria</span><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><br style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;" /><br /> <br /> <br /></p><div><table border="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><table cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td width="50%"><img src="https://www.naca.com/nacaweb/utilities/images/NACALogo.gif" alt="NACALogo.gif" /></td><td align="center" width="15%"><div> Forum/Blog </div><div> Volunteer </div><div> Español </div></td><td bgcolor="#AE1C1D" width="35%"><table style="text-align:right;font-size:8pt;color:#e6ce1b;font-weight:bold;" border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><font style="font-size:10pt;color:#ffffff;">America's Best Mortgage!</font><br /> <font style="font-size:8pt;">One Mortgage Product - $10 Billion Committed</font></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><font title="30 year simple fixed rate loan with no downpayment requirement.

On <span style="font-weight:bold;">Saturday, February 11, at Mt. Zion Bishop Church 106-60 Union Hall Street</span>, in Queens, NY (near York College), they will hold back to back seminars beginning at 10:00AM and ending at approximately 3:00PM.</p><p>These seminars are mandatory prerequisites to be able to receive the free assistance NACA provides. For those who are facing foreclosure, regardless of what borough you reside in, it is imperative that you not procrastinate, or stand on false pride, or continue to hold out hope that your bank will suddenly see you as a human being and relent.You need to get help FAST!</p><p>If it's not you, but you are aware of someone who is going through it, then urge them to make it their business to be there to get the assistance they need.</p><p>President Barack Obama is working to get the relief we need from the onslaught of banks who have served as predatory lenders and are now trying to take your home; while at the same time lying and saying they don't want them. And while he is dealing with a hostile Congress, and businesses that would rather bleed you dry than see you thrive, you need to go where the help is.</p><p>On the other hand, for those who realize that paying rent is a road paved to nowhere, there is no equity, there is no ownership; that you are paying the same money you would if you were paying your own mortgage, but at the end of the day you have no control over the property, <span style="font-weight:bold;">NACA'S FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM</span> is the only one in the nation that provides you with free counseling, a completely pre-APPROVED loan; Free Down Payment, Free Closing Costs, and a Mortgage 1% below prime. It is indeed <span style="font-weight:bold;">THE BEST MORTGAGE IN THE NATION.</span></p><p>Now is the time for you to make that move, while the prices of housing are down, and the interest rates are low. Don't wait or procrastinate until everything is perfect with you. There's no such thing, for one, and perfection is totally overrated for two. Make it your business to become a homeowner this year. Release yourself from the shackles of being a tenant. You can own a one to four family home and become a landlord (who charges reasonable rents), and reap the benefits of tax deduction that ownership conveys.</p><p>New York State Housing Commissioner Darryl Towns recently revealed that over 1600 lis pendens (foreclosure notice) were sent out in Central Brooklyn alone, within the last three weeks. What to do to save these homes was the topic at a meeting held by Assemblywoman and NY State Banking Commissioner Annette M. Robinson, at Bed Stuy Restoration on January 27th.</p><p>It has also been high on the radar of State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, who hosted Commissioner Towns at a round table discussion in late December.</p><p>Both legislators concur that Brooklyn continues to be the hardest hit in foreclosures, followed closely by Queens, because both boroughs tended to have high home ownership ratios. The scurrilous fact is that while rent is being pushed as the antidote for the housing crises, with so many landlords trying to gouge tenants for higher than normal rents - approximating what one would pay for a mortgage; and with needed employment being slow to the region, there appears to be no relief for those in the middle, who are once again caught in a vicious squeeze play.</p><p>Couple that with the pervasiveness of the recent economic downturn, which basically rolled over Brooklynites - employed and business owners alike, and there has been little in the way of the kinds of comprehensive remedies necessary to return these communities to stability.</p><p>As a result of the high foreclosure numbers in Brooklyn, NACA will be hosting a Home Save workshop on Saturday, March 11, 2012 in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn address has not been finalized, but owing to the overwhelming numbers, we are anticipating using either the Armory on Bedford and Union, or a facility with a similar capacity.</p><p>However, a word of caution to those of you in Brooklyn who need help now, please do not wait until the March 10 workshop. You must go where the help is - and right now that's Mt. Zion Bishop Church 106-60 Union Hall Street, in Queens, NY. Take the F Train to the last stop, and walk two blocks to the facility. It's across from York College. There will be NACA signs posted to guide you to the right destination.</p><p>Those of you who are unfamiliar with NACA can go online and learn first hand the story of how this stalwart organization was founded. In fact, someone needs to give NACA's Founder and CEO Bruce Marks and his dedicated NACA staff of NACA counselors, an award for having saved hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the United State, while at the same time providig those would not have had the wherewithal, homes of their own.</p><p>You owe it to yourselves, your family, your community to take advantage of these services, and to share the information with family and friends. Don't sit there and suffer in silence. And for those who know, make sure the rest are as well informed as you are.</p><p><span style="font-weight:bold;">NOW THAT YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?</span></p><p>Stay Blessed &</p><p>ECLECTICALLY BLACK</p><p>Gloria Dulan-Wilson</p></div>
