GKAR Tax Appeal Meeting
On January 22nd at the Greater Kalamazoo Association of REALTORS® will be hosting a presentation by Alan C. Jeffries from Advanced Property Tax Services. Mr. Jeffries will talk about why you would and/or should appeal your property tax, how to appeal and the process involved. This is sure to be a great event. I’ve personally used their services and am happy to say they have saved me thousands of dollars a year. Disputing property taxes is hands down best left to the pros. But understanding the process is equally as important so that you can properly advise your clients. Don’t miss this event!
Breakfast begins at GKAR at 8:30am. Presentation is from 9:00am to 10:30am. RSVP with GKAR

The Family Opportunity Mortgage
Unlocking Homeownership: Supporting Loved Ones with the Family Opportunity Mortgage Program
For many, the dream of homeownership remains a significant milestone. But what if you could help a close family member achieve that dream, even if they face financial hurdles? The Family Opportunity Mortgage Program, often referred to as the Family Assist Program, is a specialized mortgage solution designed to do just that – empower families to support loved ones in purchasing a home.
What is the Family Opportunity Mortgage Program?
This unique program was created to address a common challenge: families who want to assist elderly parents, adult children with disabilities, or other qualifying relatives in buying a home, but where the assisting family member might not be able to occupy the home themselves, or where the assisted family member faces challenges meeting traditional mortgage qualifications alone. It essentially allows family members to secure financing for a loved one’s primary residence, often with more favorable terms than a standard investment property loan.
