Atlanta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/26/2011 -- Tired of paying rent? Are you ready to move to the next level of homeownership? Do you need a good tax deduction that will put money in your pocket? Would you like to purchase a home with a monthly payment that is very comparable to the amount of rent you are paying right now?

Those and other questions are answered in home buyer seminars offered by 25-year veteran mortgage lender Sam Thompson in several convenient locations in the Atlanta area.

"This is one of the best times in the last five years to go ahead and purchase a home," says Sam Thompson, an Atlanta, Georgia based mortgage consultant. "They're becoming much more attainable now, thanks to low interest rates and a variety of other factors that benefit buyers."

In fact, Thompson is seeing this trend first hand as at least half of those purchasing homes these past couple of years are first time homebuyers.

If you've been thinking about purchasing a home, here are some things to remember:

* The tax law is created so that homebuyers receive a tremendous tax break/ savings. If you do not own a home, you are probably not able to itemize on your return.

* Based on the current historically low affordability index and low mortgage interest rates, you may be able to purchase a home and still maintain a monthly payment that is very comparable to what you are paying right now in RENT!

* There are still loan programs and special promotions available that might allow you to purchase a home with $1,000-$2,000 total investment.

Atlanta, Georgia - based mortgage expert Sam Thompson specializes in providing information to Georgia residents that allows them to make informed decisions about their mortgage financing options and learn the insider secrets that can save them thousands of dollars over the life of their loan.

Atlanta, Georgia based Mortgage Lender Sam Thompson reveals 3 things you should watch out for when shopping for home-finance products on the Internet.

Atlanta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/23/2010 -- Atlanta, Georgia Based Mortgage Lending veteran Reveals 3 Things Lenders Don't Want You to Know About Shopping for a Mortgage Online

Anyone who's even remotely interested in shopping for a home loan has probably paid attention to all those commercials on TV touting the ease of using any of a variety of Internet services to compare mortgage offers from the comfort of your home. You may even have tried a couple of them yourself. But Sam Thompson, an Atlanta Loan Officer, says Georgia residents need to watch out when trying to use the Internet to do the heavy lifting for them.

"Sometimes, these Internet services might work fairly well for certain people." "But the one-size-fits-all approach they offer is going to leave a lot of people with loans that aren't the best for them, or even worse, they may be shut out of the process altogether."

Thompson says the problem with these services is that they never really get to know anything about your financial situation other than your credit history and income level. "So basically what winds up happening is that you're reduced to a number to them. And if they don't like whatever that number is, you're out of luck."

Here are three things you should watch out for when shopping for home-finance products on the Internet – things most online mortgage sites hope you ignore:

*Do they take the time to find out about your unique situation, or are you just a cyber-borrower in their eyes? Most of these sites simply don't have the manpower to individually work with every borrower. So a lot of times you wind up with a bad loan simply because there was no one to check if they could have gotten you a better deal.

*What do they offer people in special financial circumstances – such as the self-employed or people with damaged credit? Most of these sites don't even want to work with you unless you meet their stringent criteria.

*Do they provide advice to help when choosing between loan products? Most sites simply gather offers, throw them in your lap, and pressure you to choose between them. Unless you're a pretty experienced mortgage pro, deciding on the best offer can be difficult, if not impossible.

So, what's the solution? Use the Internet to educate yourself and then work with a real human being. You may not have thought about "old-fashioned" methods of finding the best deal, such as working with a mortgage broker. "But for anyone who values a real person sitting down with you and working through the process, there's no better option," says Thompson.
