Nursing home malpractice is unbelievably widespread form of abuse in the United States of America. It is consider negligence or an intentional act of abuse by a nursing home service provider; which can cause mental, physically or social harm to the resident. Around 1.5 million Americans are currently cared for in some type of nursing home or nursing care facility. Sadly abuse is common in these types of facilities and the results are a nursing home malpractice lawsuit. This can be a financial strain on the family bring forth the suit, including relocation costs of the family member, legal costs, etc. A lawsuit settlement loan is an excellent no-risk method to cover these costs.

 

A lawsuit settlement loan is a type of lending product, but in theory not actually a loan. It’s really considered a non-recourse debt; which is a secured loan backed by collateral. In this case, your future nursing home malpractice settlement is your collateral. The reason you can consider a settlement loan as a no-risk option is the fact that if you happen to lose your case you do not have to repay the lawsuit settlement loan. If you do win your lawsuit, the settlement loan is repaid in full, plus interest and any underwriting fees. If your family is struggling to meet the financial needs of your pending nursing home malpractice lawsuit and relocation efforts than a settlement loan might be right for you.

 

The approval process of a settlement loan is different from traditional loans. You aren’t required to provide your credit history, employment history or income status. The settlement loan provider will review your case; if it has merit and is a strong suit against the nursing home facility they will approve you for your settlement loan and you should receive your money with 48-72 of submitting your application. Frivolous suits against nursing home providers will not be funded; these companies do their research and will deny any settlement loan request that appears to be frivolous.

 

I’m in my 20’s, working hard and my girlfriend and I am thinking of buying a house. Being one of those “creative types”, I have limited knowledge of what exactly is involved in buying a house. Firstly, I want to know, what I have to do to qualify for a home loan / bond. Secondly, I want to know how big a bond I can get. Thirdly, I want to know whether my boyfriend and I can buy a house together, thus apply for a bond together.I set out to do some research before going out to look for our dream house. Starting at my number one question, “What do I have to do to qualify for a home loan / bond?” I started searching the Internet for more information. I discovered that there are certain criteria that one has to meet in order to qualify for a bond. Firstly, I discovered that you have to be at least 21 years of age before you will even be considered for a home loan. You have to earn a minimum salary of between R8000 to R10 000- that’s as a single income, or as a joint income of you and your partner. You must take into consideration that your credit history will be checked- any negatives on you credit history will count against you when you apply for a home loan / bond! Further more, you need to have a permanent job, where you have worked for at least 6 months, or in the case where you are self-employed you need to have been at it for a minimum of two years.The above mentioned are the basic requirements in order to qualify for a home loan. Secondly, I was interested to know how big a home loan I could get. As soon as I knew how much, I could start searching for a house. According to numerous reputable websites online, it seems that the size bond I could qualify for is roundabout 25 -30% of my salary (or you and your partners joint salary). The bigger your salary, the bigger the bond you will qualify for and the bigger house, or rather more pricy house you can buy.Thirdly, I was interested in finding out whether or not my boyfriend and I could apply for a home loan together. This means that even though we are not married, I wanted to know if we could still buy a house together and how this will influence us in the long run. I wanted to know whether “partner” or “couple” means married or not.According to my bank manager, my boyfriend and I can apply for a bond together, but there are certain things we must take into consideration when we do. It is best to register the house in both our names just incase our relationship ends somewhere in the future. According to Bonny Feldman (First National Bank’s Media Liaison), ‘common law’ relationships are not recognised by South African law. This means that if a relationship ends and the house/property is only registered in one of our names, the other will lose out. She further states that “because you’re not seen as husband and wife, the one in whose name the property is registered in is entitled to the full property, even if the other partner contributed significant amounts to settle the bond, for instance. The unlucky partner could try to recover some of this money, but that would involve a legal case, and you’d have to have records of everything spent over the years – and that’s not very practical!”. Taking the above into consideration, I’ve realised that buying a house together is not a small step in ones relationship. There are a lot of things to consider and you will have to work with knowledgeable people who will help you make sure you don’t step into any flames later on.While doing my investigating I came across quite a few websites, which apply for your home loan or bond- making everything easier in the sense that they do all the hard work for you. They call themselves “independent bond origination” companies and all they need from you are certain documents. Their specialised home loan consultants will contact you and help you through the process step by step. I think this sounds like a definite option to consider as we are first time buyers and still need some form of guidance. Who knows, this home loan / bond thing might still be easier than I expected!

The news about the housing market has ‘not been good’ for some time now. It seems that we are bombarded on a daily basis with fresh headlines by Caty Couric or Charles Gibson about the latest woes to befall sub-prime mortgage home-owners. The sheer plethora of news on the subject is getting so depressing that I think it could actually be adding to the overall mental state of the nation, almost willing us into a recession.

The facts are undeniable. Foreclosures are up to 7.6% from 7.3% of loans past due or in foreclosure. The biggest rise in these numbers relate to what are called sub-prime mortgages. These are mortgages that were sold to lower income families where the original starting payments were set at a reduced rate. When interest rates rose, the borrowers of this type of mortgage were caught out. Instead of having to make a payment that they had been quoted when the mortgage was sold to them, they faced much higher payments in line with the higher interest rate prevailing at the time.

Now its easy to say that this is their own fault and that they should have been more careful when entering into the loan and that the duty of care is on the borrower to ask about the risks involved and the potential downside that a rise in interest rates would cause. The worrying thing is though, that many of these loans were sold to people who were novices in owning their own home and such complicated financial instruments. They came from low income households and were ‘blinded’ by a dream that most of us take for granted.

I am not the only one who thinks so. The Attorney General in Illinois is already investigating Countrywide Financial Corp for its potentially illegal targeting of minority groups for the purchase of high cost loans. This is just one of many State and Federal investigations underway.

Countrywide is also under scrutiny as its CEO Angelo R Mozilo is now being investigated for possible illegal securities transaction in which he cashed nearly $120 million dollars worth of stock shortly before his company announced bad loans of $422 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Countrywide who are currently being taken over by Bank of America has also been named by the F.B.I. today,(9th March 2008), as one of fourteen lenders being investigated for lending practices.

As with most investment stories, when people are losing money, there is usually someone making it. It emerged in recent days that Warren Buffet may be about to step in to take a stake in Countrywide. Mr Buffet, who recently topped the world list of the richest men on the planet, knocking off Bill Gates after thirteen years, has been sitting on a cash-pile of some $50 billion dollars for some time now. His investment company, Berkshire Hathaway has reported taking a stake in Bank of America recently and rumours abound that he is looking to get involved once again in the financial & mortgage securities markets. As usual, Mr Buffet, your timing is impeccable!

Even ‘The Donald’ could be seen recently on National TV bestowing the virtues of property investment. I have to agree with Mr Trump that those who have the ability to invest in property in a depressed market are possibly the people who will profit the most. For the average man in the street though, I think the message is clear. When taking out a home loan or refinance package, get some professional advice. Check the small print and know the downside before signing the agreement.
