Chinese Drywall Back In the News - 04/09/10 10:08 PM
It is so hard to believe that this could happen in the US and we can't even sue the folks because the companies in China do not have to answer the US courts.
Why in the hell do we keep letting our government put the screws deeper and deeper then they pound it in with a hammer.
We need a leader in this country to step up and lead. Then we need to let our military run Congress all the way to China.

 Sitting at the Rotary Table

I must admit, for being a Nampa Rotary Club member since 1997, I have missed a lot of meetings lately!
I attended the lunch meeting at noon on Tuesday at the Brick 29 Restaurant here in Nampa, Idaho.
While sitting at the table, we laughed and joked and interacted like school kids giggling during a quiet church meeting.

It's Over. The Recession has finally ended! - 04/06/10 11:00 PM
It is amazing what folks will believe on a day to day basis. Real Estate is local and not run by the Washington. Think of making a move, get with a local Realtor and move on.
Via Arlington Capital Mortgage:
Yes it is "pretty clear" that the recession is over. It must be true. I read it in the Philadelphia Inquirer. It was on the back page of the business section. It would have been on the front page of the newspaper but the Eagles traded Donovan McNabb to the Redskins and that took up the entire front page. But seriously this is … (7 comments)

RULE OF "72" - 04/05/10 04:10 PM
Here is something that could easily be taught in schools, along with balancing a checkbook. As a life long student of Math I already knew this and have found it to be quite the conversation starter.
Via Don Wixom (RE/MAX Advantage Nampa, ID):
RULE OF "72"
I've always found the concept of compound interest fascinating!
The Rule of "72" basically calculates that your money will "double" at an exact point by dividing 72 by the % of interest!
72 - 1% interest = 72 years*
72 - 3% interest = 24 years
72 - 6% interest = 12 years
72- 9% interest = … (2 comments)

Finding financing when buying a home in Pensacola Florida - 04/04/10 11:17 PM

Once a contract becomes binding, you probably will have to arrange for financing. Depending on the terms of the contract, the purchase of the home may be contingent on your being able to get financing at certain terms by a certain date.
LendersThe REALTOR® might provide you a list of lenders. Most home buyers get loans through savings institutions and mortgage bankers and, to a lessor extent, from commercial banks, credit unions, or other private sources. In some cases, the seller may be willing to offer financing. Sellers often can offer a loan to a buyer at a competitive interest … (3 comments)

Simply closing the transaction in Pensacola Florida. - 04/04/10 10:54 PM
Closing the Transaction
The sale is formally ended at the closing table. In most transaction, the closing lasts less than an hour and often occurs at the title company office. Your REALTOR® and the buyer's agent may be present, and a title company officer or escrow agent will preside.
Basic documentsThe sale actually consists of two transactions: 1) transferring the property to the buyer and 2) paying off the existing mortgage on your home (or allowing the buyer to assume your mortgage). To transfer the property, the title company will present documents proving that you have the title. Proceeds of the … (2 comments)

WHY I LIKE SARAH: SHE CARES - 04/04/10 10:38 PM

Via Hugh Krone Sussex County NJ Realtor (Savva Realty):
   Let me start by saying that I think there is a VERY good chance that Sarah Palin is going to be our next president and she will have the main stream media and the liberal elitists to thank for the win. Americans by and large do not like being told who we are allowed to like and what we are allowd to believe in. I figure Sarah is good for about a million votes just because of Joy Behar and David Lettman.
     As much as those reasons alone would probably be … (2 comments)

Choosing a Lender while buying a home in Pensacola Florida - 04/04/10 10:36 PM
Despite an excess of loans and lenders, comparison shopping has been eased by the development of computer-loan origination systems and mortgage-reporting services - firms that survey major lenders in metropolitan areas every week or so and publish information sheets on who is offering what loans on what terms.
Shop for lenders offering the best deals. Check with several mortgage companies and use one or more reporting services. Rely on your own efforts, lots of telephone calls and possibly some old-fashioned legwork. If there isn't a reporting service covering your area, begin the search at your own bank or savings and loan.

Buyer's Checklist when buying in Pensacola Florida - 04/04/10 10:33 PM
There is no way to guarantee a "smooth" path from an approved contract to the settlement table, but doing your part is at least half the job. Expect minor problems and delays along the way. On the seller's side, title problems are a common cause of postponed settlements. On your side, bureaucratic snags such as extensive credit checks and slow appraisals can bog things down. In many cases, there isn't much you or the seller can do but wait.
While you're waiting for completion of all the processes now in motion, you should:

Avoid These 10 Home Buying Mistakes in Pensacola Florida - 04/04/10 10:27 PM

1. Not doing your homework. Enter the market well-prepared by researching location, school district, deed restrictions and taxes.
 
2. Trying to make a shrewd investment. Focus on finding the best place for you and your family to live rather than trying to predict the real estate market.
 
3. Choosing a poor location. Consider what part of town you would like to live in and avoid homes located on busy streets.
 
4. Overlooking an inferior floor plan for an attractive exterior. Choose a great floor plan over a great exterior because you'll spend far more time inside the … (2 comments)
