How should one approach the task of selling the House of God ?
The Synagogue and the Ark, the Church and the steeple, the Mosque with the minaret.
Usually, once the board of directors, or the congregation, has decided to part with their place of worship a variety of factors have influenced the decision to sell beforehand. The most important of these is the need to relocate because the property has outgrown it's usefullness to the congregation because of age, or perhaps the sanctuary is just not large enough to accommodate a growing membership.
The place of worship is a sacred place and will hold very personal meanings to all of the members assigned the task of making the decision to part with it.
A very sensitive issue to contend with, once the decision to sell has been made, is the question of who is going to occupy the facility once the congregation has moved ?
Must the building continue to be used in service to the Lord, or can it be used for other things at this point, such as converting the property for commercial use such as a shopping center or a school ?
It is important that the congegation hire a broker with experience in the sale of the house of worship.
In some cases, a congregation will have to lease a place temporarily if they're building a new facility and, at the same time, trying to sell the old one. An experienced broker will retain a specialized awareness of title issues and other legal concerns and understand when legal matters should be reviewed by an attorney if transference of the property or other problems involving the land might become an issue.
What are your experiences with the house of worship ?
I've included some music for you for on this "Quiet Day". Hope you enjoy it.
I really appreciate all of the fantastic comments and all of the sweet, and thoughtful, expressions of approval for the music from all of you. I certainly believe that greener pastures are the reward for patience and we'll all get through this disgustingly foul national financial calamity together, and come out smelling like roses. The market will slump and the market will soar, but throughout it all my piano will roar. So in the spirit of fun and good camaraderie, here's another for you to enjoy and have a good laugh. Happy Independence Day !
I woke up this morning, about 3am, put on my bathrobe, sat down at the Steinway and thought about our many, many friends, families and colleagues that have lost their jobs, their income, retired and given up their licenses, have had their homes foreclosed, and are struggling with divorce, illness, bankruptcy, hopelessness and unspeakable tragedy.
This is what I hear. And it seems as though there's nothing you or anybody else can do about it, while we're continuously being slammed with rhetoric, false positives, and the insane sophistry of politicians.
Hasn't the 'American Dream' finally become the American nightmare ?
When will the lies end ?
I had to stop because I felt like Nero fiddling while Rome was in flames.
I still have my job. I play the piano.. Do you have yours ? I hope so.
A homeowner has without warning, and without knowing, constructed a fence in his backyard about 7 inches over the property line of his neighbor.
This would be considered an encroachment.
Is this fact true or false ?
Please take your time. The solution is posted below the wildlife photo.
A. True
An encroahment is a building or impovement to a property or any portion of it that extends beyond the legal property limit of the owner constructing the improvement or building.
An encroachment illegally intrudes on the land of the adjoining owner's property.
Once the underwriter has been able to verify the amount of a borrower's stable monthly income, the underwriter will then use a process which will employ gross multipliers to determine whether or not the income is adequate enough to repay the loan that the applicant is seeking.
Is this fact true or false ?
Remember to take your time. The solution is posted below the wildlife photo.
A. False
Once the income has been verified the underwriter will use debt to income ratios to make a determination as to whether or not the applicants income is sufficient to repay the loan.
The quality of a loan applicant's income generally depends on whether or not it's taxable income in the decision making process for the underwriter, and not as much the dependability of the income.
Is this fact true or false ?
Please take your time. The solution is posted below the wildlife photo.
A. False
The dependability of the income will indicate to the underwriter that the source is reliable and secure.
Whether the income is taxable or not is not an issue when establishing the quality of the income.
