A good mortgage for contractors will address your mortgage needs adequately. There are many types of contractor mortgages. Understanding what each one covers is the key to finding and choosing the right one. They should also have a good repayment plan. You know the mortgage is good if you can comfortably pay back the loan over the agreed period.

Good contractor mortgages have low rates. You may be sceptical about getting low interest rates on a contractor mortgage but it is possible. These types of mortgages have been marketed as a prime rate product right from the beginning. The truth though is that you can get a contractor mortgage at the same rate as a conventional mortgage. Only do not go looking for them from traditional lenders. You will find them at contractor mortgage lenders’. Rates typically start from as low as 3.1%. With a thorough search or the help of a broker, you may even get a lending company with lower rates.

A good contractor mortgage will ask a reasonable down payment. The average is 10%-20% and 25% for first time buyers in many cases. It should also have a balance between the interest rate and down payment. Some lenders will ask for a low down payment but give a high interest rate. Others may ask for a high down payment and give low int

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

Orange County startup SignNow, launches its Android application in a string of mobile product releases beginning this month. The Android app hits the Market February 15th and is free to download.

The SignNow app allows users to open documents and add a signature by using their finger to draw right on their mobile device. With a single tap, the user is given the choice to open a document from their email or Dropbox. They can also take a photo of a document and add their John Hancock.

The beauty of the SignNow Android app is its simplicity. The entire process is three steps.

1.    Import your document

2.    Sign your document

3.    Email and/or Save your document

Founder and CEO, Chris Hawkins, said:

“Electronic signatures are part of our everyday lives; we use them more than we realize. But when a deal needs to get done, or a contract needs to be signed, the majority of people print, sign, and fax or scan and email. SignNow eliminates all those steps. Whether you’re signing a loan document, a proposal agreement, a job offer letter, a lease, a new patient form—anything that needs a signature—you can sign and return it in less than a minute from your mobile device. That’s the speed at which the world today moves and we are confident that anyone who uses SignNow once will appreciate its elegance and ease of use.”

In 2000, President Clinton passed the U.S. ESIGN ACT that says a contract or signature “may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form”. This means that electronic signatures are not only acceptable, but are legally binding and subject to the same scrutiny of authenticity that applies to paper documents.

“Big business has been using electronic signing for years and with great success. We want everyday people to be able to legally sign any document for free and help the environment in the process. The two, (kind of lousy) printers in our office are gathering dust as we speak. I can’t honestly tell you the last time we used them. “

About SignNow.com

SignNow is the free and easy way to sign documents and much more. Our goal at SignNow is to let everyone sign agreements anywhere they want using any device, and then to make those agreements easy to enforce. SignNow hopes to eliminate the question, “Did this person actually sign this document?”

SignNow is an independent, privately held company headquartered in Newport Beach, California. Major investors include Khosla Ventures.

Clopton Capital, a commercial mortgage provider based out of Chicago, IL is seeking advertising space within commercial real estate listing websites at rates far below rate card. Recently the firm bought a significant amount of advertising in the form of banner advertising on the popular commercial real estate listing website LoopNet.com. They believe that advertising their commercial mortgage services, namely the ability to issue commercial mortgages at rates as low as 3.5% on relevant websites will help them expand throughout 2012. If there are any similar websites that had banned advertising and believe they can make a competitive offer to Clopton Capital, then the firm would like to be contacted via their website’s contact form at CloptonCapital.com. “We want to expand via target banner advertising, but frankly we see no reason to pay retail rates to do so. We’re a great client to have since we are financially stable and believe in consistent advertising, but we’re also savvy enough to not overpay for the ability to advertise on other’s websites,” said Jake Clopton, the founder of Clopton Capital.

The firms future plans involve engaging in link exchanges and banner advertising with numerous other relevant websites as part of their objective towards continued growth throughout 2012. “There are a lot of great businesses and websites we would like to partner with if it can be mutually beneficial and help build our brand positively in the long term,” said Matt Reed, an associate of Clopton Capital.

Any businesses or commercial real estate owners who are seeking business loans are urged to contact Clopton Capital at 866.647.1650 or via their website CloptonCapital.com.

Hartland, WI (PRWEB) February 05, 2012

AQS, a leading provider of insurance solutions and services to the property and casualty insurance industry, congratulates Canal Insurance Company on being named a Model Carrier by Celent for its innovative use of technology in the area of Product Design, Definition, and Development.

In January 2011, Canal had the opportunity to engage in an exceptional business opportunity. Canal’s challenge in closing the deal, though, was that they had to start quoting renewals within six weeks. Using Canal’s traditional product development technology and processes would not allow Canal to meet this requirement, and the opportunity would be lost.

After investigating alternatives, Canal engaged with AQS and ISO Rating Service (ISO’s automated rate-management system) to provide the answer. The core solutions deployed included ISO Rating Service, AQS Designer Access, and AQS Quote Access. Those solutions were integrated with Canal’s iQuotes portal and back end systems. The three teams worked together collaboratively to integrate the solutions, implement commercial auto and general liability products in 46 states, and issue the first quote – all in less than six weeks. Canal estimates that the effort decreased product implementation time by 75% and product implementation costs by 85%. Most important, the new opportunity met all business expectations. Canal increased their premium written by 10% within eight months.

“It’s not that often that the business and project expectations are both exceeded so significantly,” said Adrian Brown, CIO, Canal, “but this effort has been the exception. The new book of business was a complete success, the AQS application met all our needs, the ISO Rating Service performed as advertised, and the AQS and ISO teams worked together seamlessly to provide the support we needed for us to be successful.”

AQS and ISO have a long history of working together supporting their clients’ needs. “More than 20 companies use the AQS application in conjunction with ISO Rating Service,” said ISO Rating Service practice leader and Assistant Vice President Mark Sheehan. “Canal’s success is indicative of the type of benefits clients have realized from these solutions and services.”

Adrian Brown summed up his thoughts: “I can’t say enough about the teams that made this happen. I’m especially proud of the Canal Insurance team that quickly mastered the AQS tools and were able to become productive so rapidly. AQS provided us with the jump start, training, and just the right amount of mentoring to ensure our success. This is a model of what a partnership should be.”

Loan Value Group

(PRWEB) January 30, 2012

With more than two full years of performance results available, Loan Value Group, LLC (LVG) today announced that its Responsible Homeowner Reward® (RH Reward®) program, which provides cash awards to eligible homeowners who remain current on their mortgages, has reduced delinquency rates on 1st lien mortgages by 54%. Delinquency rates on 2nd lien mortgages – a source of even greater concern for banks – were reduced by nearly 24% over the same period.

RH Reward, launched in January 2010, is currently being used by major lenders, servicers, insurers and mortgage investors, and at present, affects mortgages with an aggregate balance of nearly $ 3 billion.

“RH Reward aligns the interests of mortgage risk owners – including Government agencies and local municipalities – with the homeowner in ways that produce tangible benefits for both,” said Frank Pallotta, Managing Partner of Loan Value Group. “In addition to reducing delinquency rates on 1st and 2nd lien mortgages however, RH Reward programs are being used to increase refinancing activity, accelerate loss mitigation efforts and launch new origination programs. Finally, risk owners are benefiting from enhanced contact information, behavioral insight and borrower connectivity.”

This is how the RH Reward Program works:

1. The homeowner is selected by their financial institution, enrolled in the RH Reward Program and granted an initial RH Reward amount.

2. The homeowner agrees to make full and timely mortgage payments in accordance with their mortgage note to keep their RH Reward status active.

3. For a period of time following enrollment, the RH Reward account will grow at a predetermined rate.

4. Once a milestone is met – for example, by selling the home, refinancing the property, or by paying off the mortgage – the homeowner is paid the entire RH Reward amount.

About Loan Value Group LLC

Founded in 2008, Loan Value Group LLC is a mortgage solutions provider of a large-scale, low-cost, turn-key platform that positively influences consumer behavior on behalf of residential mortgage owners and servicers. Based in Rumson, N.J., LVG provides owners of risk with a solution that directly addresses strategic default through the use of incentives. LVG is the exclusive provider of the Responsible Homeowner Reward® (RH Reward®) program, named one of the “50 Best Inventions of 2010″ by Time Magazine.

Medford, OR (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Tuition Express, the integrated payment processing solution from Procare Software, has earned the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard Level 1 Service Provider Certificate for 2012.

“The security of account information is our highest priority”, says Jeffrey Blum, President of Procare Software. “The annual PCI audit we go through is intense and thorough.”

PCI DSS was developed by VISA International, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and others to help organizations that process credit card payments prevent credit card fraud and various other security threats. The payment card companies require banks to ensure that companies that process, store or transmit payment card data demonstrate PCI DSS compliance or risk losing their authorization to process credit card payments.

The audit process validates a company’s compliance with numerous requirements including building and maintaining a secure network, establishing programs that protect cardholder data and developing a comprehensive information security policy. The audit was conducted by Coalfire of Seattle, Washington.

“From concept to implementation, security has always been a major focus of the Tuition Express architecture,” said Darren Gapp, Chief System/Software Engineer. “This focus has been strengthened by technological advances we have adopted over the years. The result is an isolated and extremely secure processing system, utilizing industry accepted encryption standards that exceed Government requirements for securing sensitive information.”

“Being a Level 1 Service Provider is of the utmost importance to Tuition Express. Our merchants’ information is secure – and so is the information of their customers,” added Blum.

This is the fifth year in a row that Tuition Express has earned the PCI Level 1 Service Provider Certificate and since its inception, Tuition Express has processed over 12 million credit card and ACH transactions, totaling nearly $ 4 Billion in payments for its customers. Fully integrated with Procare Software – the nation’s number one selling child care management system – Tuition Express automatically posts payments to customers’ ledger cards and sends customers automated emailed receipts.

Tuition Express offers its merchants multiple payment processing options, including recurring credit card and ACH transactions, POS/Card Swipe transactions and Online Payments.
