What will happen, when a home owner has a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) (aka Reverse Mortgage) and their home is no longer worth what they borrowed?
This client needs to sell their home and they will owe around $200,000.00.

I am thankful that the Tempe police are taking a proactive approach toward protecting vacant homes in our area. Making a priority of keeping squatters, party crews and illegal drug labs out of them, by conducting security checks, will help decrease vandalism and other crimes.
Sgt. Ken Harmon, who heads the Tempe Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit, said he passed out the list about a month ago to the beat cops so they could familiarize themselves with the homes so they will know when something is out of place.
Police recently arrested a man during one of these security checks.Tempe police found the man sleeping in the home.He had crawled in through the doggy door.
Harmon said transients have a reliable network and once one finds a vacant home, others will follow.
With the number of foreclosed homes in Tempe and the Phoenix area, I’d say the short stops to check these homes will be time well spent and have positive results for all residents of Tempe Arizona.
Of course, if you observe any suspicious activity taking place at a vacant home contact the police right away.
Thank you to the Tempe Arizona Police Department.

If you have a holder or a frame on your license plate, you may want to check and make sure it complies with a new state law going into effect today. This does not affect out of state license plates.
I’ve made it a point to look at plates this week and have found there are still many who have not changed or removed the frame.
I personally would expect a grace period, but have found no mention of one in anything I’ve read.So, expect to be ticketed if you are stopped.
The fine averages about $136 here in the valley.That’s not small change, at least in my book it’s not.
Judging by the comments made on the articles appearing in the EV Tribune and the ArizonaRepublic, this is definitely not a popular law.
I finally removed mine this evening.Now I'm wondering if it would have been OK to keep it since the Arizona on the plate was covered by the Arizona on the frame.
Remind your friends and neighbors.
Have a very Blessed and Prosperous New Year!
I had to scrape a few years worth of tags from the plate.
This license plate has seen better days. It's almost 12 years old and has been through a couple accidents. Next car gets a new plate.

At least for those of us who have lived here most of our lives, when the temperature drops to the 30’s, it gets our attention.
Some of us don’t even own ‘appropriate’ clothing!!
I’m not going to get into the statistics, but, I will say that it does not freeze here every winter.When we do have a freeze, it usually happens more in the outer parts of the valley.
Every now and then it creeps right into the middle of town.
There are a number of plants that do not withstand the low temperatures and that is how I know where it really froze.
When you drive through neighborhoods and the rubber trees and the bougainvillea are dead, it was cold.
It was freezing cold.
This photo was taken early this morning.The weather service said it was 35°.

For several years now my brother-in-law, Stan, has been frying the turkey for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.(one of my brothers actually introduced us to this method a while ago)
If you haven’t had turkey cooked this way, I recommend you try it. (looks kind of like he's protesting his fate, doesn't it?)
See below for after.
After
Frying keeps the juices and moisture in the turkey.I don’t really care for turkey, but this is different.About all I can say is try it, you’ll like it.
(memo to self: always check contents of the large yellow bowl.)
