Protecting investments is something Tri Cities area residents and business owners consider in many aspects of life. Insurance policies provide one of the most basic forms of protection, but there's another form of protection that many people overlook: surety bonds. Knowledge of the bonding process can be an especially valuable resource for those invested in the local housing market, including homeowners, house flippers, bankers, construction workers and real estate agents, just to name a few.

The basics
Although surety bonds protect an individual or business up to a certain amount for an upfront fee, it is important to note the difference between insurance policies and surety bonds. Loss is not expected with bonds as it often is with insurance. Bonding is more of a pre-established credit in case an entity fails to fully complete its duties.

Bonding involves three parties:

1. the principal–the person or entity who is responsible for completing all agreed-upon obligations
2. the obligee–the customer who is seeking protection in case the principal falters
3. the surety–the individual or business who issues the the bond between the principal and the obligee

Choosing which type of Washington surety bond best fits your needs might seem tricky, but it's quite simple once you determine the type of protection you need based on the project at hand. Business owners are usually well-acquainted with the bonding process, as many state and local regulations require businesses in many industries to be bonded before they can be issued a license. For examples, sometimes local wineries need to secure a surety bond before being issued a business license.

Bonding in the housing market
In regard to the real estate industry, contract bonds protect consumers in the field of construction and development. These bonds are very applicable to homeowners looking to remodel or renovate their current homes, as well as potential buyers looking to buy a fixer-upper. Home buyers who might be reluctant to buy a house that needs renovations often don't consider how bonding contractors protects their investments. To protect the homeowner and guarantee the quality of his work, the contractor would purchase a contract bond to ensure that all duties are completed as agreed upon. Should he fail to fulfill his duties, the contractor might be responsible for reimbursing the customer up to to the bond's full value.

While surety bonds might seem complicated or confusing, a little research could go a long way in protecting your investments.

Save Out-of-Pocket Costs with an FHA loan

Buying a home can quickly become expensive with the numerous out-of-pocket costs. If a first time homebuyer purchased a home for $350,000 near the Seattle metropolitan area with a conventional loan, they could expect to pay a 20% down payment on top of closing costs which would mean an out-of-pocket expense of at least $77,000 for the buyer.

However, for first-time buyers, a Washington FHA loan can increase their home buying power allowing them to save money while purchasing the first home. FHA loans offer an average mortgage rate between 4-5% and a required 3.5% down payment – 16.5% less than a conventional loan. Even with these low numbers, buyers in Washington can still receive a loan ranging from 217,000 to $400,000 depending on the area they are looking to buy in.

How else is a FHA loan going to save me money? In addition to a 3.5% required down payment and competitive monthly mortgage rates, FHA loans provide eligible buyers other benefits to prevent high out-of-pockets expenses:

• Regulated closing costs
• Down payments that can be made in the form of gifts
• 3% of the sales price can be credited towards buyer costs
• Integrated mortgage insurance

With these benefits, a buyer who would normally have to put $60,000 down on a $300,000 home with a conventional loan would only have to put $10,500 down on the same home with an FHA loan. Closing costs, which range from 1-8%, can be a huge out-of-pocket expense for a buyer, however, with an FHA loan, a buyer can roll those costs into their mortgage, and not see a penny out of pocket.

Do I qualify?

Even when a borrower doubts their eligibility for an FHA loan, he or she is always encouraged to submit an application. Borrowers should meet the following minimum requirements to be eligible for an FHA loan:

• a mid-range credit score of at least 620
• consistent employment for two years
• income remaining the same or increasing for at least two years
• a perfect credit rating two years after claiming bankruptcy or foreclosure

To quicken the application process, prospective buyers should obtain a credit report prior to the application process. By reviewing your credit report before meeting with a loan officer, buyers can clean up their report to provide the best credit score possible. A better credit score can determine whether or not a buyers saves hundreds every year through mortgage rates, and will provide them with better loan terms.
