The Advantages of Teacher A+ Groups

Our Teacher A+ network currently consists of nine groups:


Realtors

Foreclosures and Short Sales

Loan Officers

Insurance Agents

Title Companies

Appraisers

Real Estate Advisors

Remodeling & Construction

Teachers



The idea of each group is to allow teachers and members find each other and information about a specific topic or groups of individuals. Realtors should belong to the Realtor group because this is where teachers are going to seek out information about real estate agents and the topics they cover. The same can be said for loan officers, title companies and all the other groups.

The teacher group is an area that teachers will create profiles so they can interact with the rest of the members. This will grow to be our biggest group over time. Most of the personal information will optional, this will allow them to be comfortable and interact at the same time.

Feel free to create a group at any time, just remember with this creation comes with responsibility. Individuals that create their own group should be motivated to grow not only the number of members that belong to it, but content as well. This content should at all times be relevant to teachers, faculty, schools, community and real estate.

Kindly join the groups that you can participate with and help grow our real estate network.

Loans catering to educators make home ownership possible
By Michael K. Rich
July 29, 2008


Attention: educators in the market for a new home, a loan is available designed to suit your needs.

This loan program, called the Teacher A+ Home Loan program, is available to all teachers, school faculty and staff.

With three new Maricopa Unified School District schools opening next month, it might be just what new and existing MUSD employees need.

The way this program differs from a standard loan is that it allows teachers to claim income they make from a summer job with limited documentation and no time requirements.

“A standard loan requires the borrower to have a two-year history at a job in order to claim it as income. With teachers, a summer job is often part time so it can not be claimed,” said Troy Schuricht, owner of Community First Financial, a company that offers this loan program.

In addition to being able to claim income from their summer jobs, the loan program allows teachers to use what is known as boarder income.

Boarder income is rent a potential roommate may pay the future homeowner.

Community First Financial has been offering this loan program for seven years but reports seeing a drastic increase in activity during the past several months.

“For a while, home prices got so high teachers could not afford them; now that prices are falling back into affordability we are seeing a return to this loan program,” Schuricht said.

The loan is available in both fixed- and adjustable-rate formats, and up to 100 percent financing is available.
