homeowners: Tax deadline extended two days this year - 01/04/12 11:48 PM
I will take the two extra days! I'm sure I'm not alone haha. Here is the information from the article on Marketwatch.com...
The normal deadline, April 15, falls on a Sunday this year. And Monday, April 16, is Emancipation Day in Washington. Any holiday in Washington is like a national holiday for tax-filing purposes.
If you’re an early-bird filer, more likely to send in your tax return in January than April, then Jan. 17 is your date to get going. That’s the first day the IRS will accept electronically filed returns, and those filed through the “free file” program.

A plan allows you to complete stages as your budget allows and make sure that what you do this season won’t have to be undone next season. Collect pictures of scenes that please you.Tastes vary. Some people like precise formal gardens, some want to play croquet on a big lawn, others like the informal country look. Take an inventory.

homeowners: Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - Tuesday 10-19-2010 - When to Consult an Attorney - 10/19/10 12:04 PM
In the United States, foreclosures are hitting an all-time high. What does this mean? It means that you may be impacted, if you haven’t already been. When it comes to foreclosures, many homeowners and renters do not know where to turn. There may come a point in time when you need to consult with or hire an attorney.
Most media attention surrounding foreclosures is focused on the property owner. Yes, many of the individuals facing foreclosure are owners of single-family homes that they live in, but not always. A large number of rental property owners are finding themselves in foreclosure. As a … (0 comments)

homeowners: Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - Tuesday 10-12-2010 - How to talk to your Lender about Foreclosure - 10/12/10 10:39 PM
Many homeowners can find alternatives to foreclosure by negotiating with lenders, often with the help of foreclosure counselors. If you’re facing foreclosure, call your lender right now to determine your options, which can include loan modification, forbearance, or a short sale.

homeowners: Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - Thursday 09-09-2010 - Plant Trees! - 09/09/10 02:48 PM
Trees don’t ask for much—dirt, water, sunlight. Yet they provide a wealth of benefits: They improve the air you breathe, cut your energy bills with their shade, provide a home to wildlife, and add beauty and value to your home. But every year, 3.2 million acres of forest are cut down, according to the Nature Conservancy. Several million more acres are lost to fire, storm, and disease. That’s why planting new trees and protecting the ones we have is so important.

homeowners: Pacific Palisades Real Estate Blog - 5 Tips for Saving Energy in the Family Room - 08/13/10 11:02 AM
The three biggest energy hogs in the family room are the plasma television, DVR/Tivo box, and digital cable box.
The fun—a video game console, TV, DVR, DVD, and stereo system—that your family room provides comes with a price. By reducing standby power, using rechargeable batteries in remotes, and replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, you could save up to $130 a year in energy costs.
And if you’re in the market for a new TV, you can save even more energy by being flexible on the type you buy.
