Well the City of Kalamazoo has release there Summer 2013 Newsletter. Couple interesting things to note.
- Landlords so be sure to schedual reinspection for renew certificates well in advance to take advantage of the 40 month certificate. To find out when a certificate expires click this link Property Tax then select city of kalamazoo, then click rental property.
- New fee schedule see the newsletter for details but something I personally got burned on. . . what happened to the warning letters. In the past if a resident didnt mow the grass I recived a warning letter, called them and made them mow. Just recently the waring letter had a fee associated with it, basically no more warnings! They send a letter you pay a fine, ouch!
- I found it interesting that they note Lead Paint, scary. . . . more info at www.michigan.gov/leadsafe

S.O.S. SAVE OUR SALE: WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR LENDER STALLS WEEKS BEFORE CLOSING!
Did your mortgage lender suddenly go radio silent, request the same bank statement for the fourth time, or drop a last-minute loan denial right before your scheduled closing date?
Yesterday, a panicked real estate agent called my office from Portage. Their buyer had been under contract for three weeks on a home near Milwood. The closing date sat just nine days away.
Out of nowhere, the buyer’s out-of-state call-center lender issued a denial letter. The call-center underwriter miscalculated self-employment write-offs, panicked over an unpermitted porch repair on the appraisal, and threw the entire transaction into the trash can.
