Lauren Corna, Broker (Archway Realty, LLC) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:10:57 -0800

Welcome to The Bald Truth Weekly Thought Greetings! The Bald Truth is just that, a straight forward approach on how to live a more productive, effective and fulfilled life both personally and professionally.Daily we are blasted with images that are mostly negative. Here at Peak Performance we will provide you with a weekly positve thought and my personal perspective on how to use this in your life. Sit back, relax and take a few minutes for a positive oasis in your week.

The Right Thing "The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it." H. Norman Schwarzkopf

Sometimes we waffle over what to do in a difficult situation simply because we're reluctant to do what we know we have to do. Maybe there's some sacrifice we don't really want to make. Maybe we're afraid we might alienate someone. Maybe we just don't want to put out the effort it's going to take. So we procrastinate - asking for advice, weighing alternative, hoping we'll find some way out of the situation. This is usually a futile exercise; we still have to do the right thing. As we begin yet another year full of hope and promise, think about those things that you want to do. Keep them in your sights and take steps to make them happen. If you would like some help set a plan of action contact us for our 2010 planning guide and we will send it to you free. Just send e-mail to info@mypotentialplus.com with the subject 2010 planning guides and we will send it to you. An Affirmation for you: If I know what I have to do, I will do it rather than look for excuses not to. The satisfaction of knowing I've lived up to my own values will be worth any discomfort I might experience.

Most Communities have websites in place so that a Potential Home Buyer can review the City Ordinances prior to investing in a home within that community. Why should a Buyer be concerned with City Ordinances? Because It could be a matter of life or death in at least one growing rural Texas community....Recently, a Texas Community was featured on the news because the residents are concerned with all the hunters allowed to hunt with rifles in a field behind their homes.... Apparently, according to the City Ordinance hunting is allowed as long as it takes place 150 feet away from the homes.I wonder what happens when kids wander off into that field? Buyers Beware...Lauren Corna

Make Your Own Microwave Popcorn without Health Issues....

I read the newspaper everyday....Today there was an article about a man who has lung problems because he would eat microwave popcorn everyday and the fumes from the popcorn has been linked to his lung problems. Additionally, the article claims that workers from the manufacturing facility have health issues as well.... I google it and found an article on this issue.... http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=83684In the Real Estate Office that I work in, we have a lot of Agents and support staff.... Almost every-time I'm in the office someone is popping up some microwave popcorn....I have been making my own microwave popcorn for years... It is so simple and contains no chemicals or cooking oils ..... Ingredients:A package of regular popcorn ( I buy a jar of Orville Redenbacher's)brown paper lunch bag ( I use the larger size) Optional melted Butter for the topping salt to taste Fill the large brown paper lunch bag with a good sold layer of the popcorn. Close the top of the bag tight by folding it down a couple times and squishing it tight. Place in the microwave and press the popcorn button or cook on high about 3 minutes... Because some microwaves are more powerful than others, when your popcorn slows down on the popping remove immediately or it will start to burn. Optional: Swirl the melted butter on top of your finished popcorn and salt to taste. Note: I have found from experience, that you can only use the bag one time. So for every bag of popcorn you make, you will need a new brown paper lunch bag. Do not use any cooking oils or you will have a huge mess in your microwave. Lauren Corna

Foreclosure is not a Conspiracy Against the Homeowner...

Lauren Corna, Broker (Archway Realty, LLC) — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 07:26:35 -0700

I have been in foreclosure properties that look like a crime scene. It's quite apparent that the Homeowner was disgruntled and decided to destroy the home. I have seen the built-in appliances torn from the wall. I have seen doors removed. I have seen the meters removed. I have seen the water heater removed. anything not attached was removed....It is not the Lenders fault that the home has gone into a foreclosure. The Lender is not in business to own homes. Additionally, it is not the Lenders fault because you might be in a wrong loan program for your needs. Your loan program is determined by you and your Loan Officer / Loan Originator. The foreclosure process is expensive and could range from $30,000 - $40,000. Freddie Mac claims that the foreclosure process costs $60,000.Homeowners know when they have financial problems. The minute this becomes an issue it is important to create a plan to financially manage all creditors and understand that monthly payments are weighted differently. Don't wait until your home falls into a foreclosure status to do something !!!Here in Texas, the Homeowner needs to understand what the Homestead Rights means and how it applies to them. If a Homeowner understood how the Homestead Rights worked they would understand how their monthly payments should be allocated to their creditors with respect to how they are weighted....Meaning, the Homeowner needs to contact all their creditors to adjust their monthly payments to allow the Homeowner to pay the mortgage first. The mortgage needs to be paid first.Texas Homestead Rights can easily be found on the web.... The following is one resource... http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/HH/mlh2.htmlThere are several resources on Homestead Rights and how it works.... However, it can be difficult to understand... There are Credit Counseling Services in almost all communities....Take the time and set up an appointment a Credit Counselor.... A Credit Counselor can help you create a plan to manage you all your creditors.The Homeowner needs to call their Lender to let them know that they are currently having financial problems. Ask your Lender what your alternatives are..... Do not call a Loan Originator. The Loan Originator might be able to help or the Loan Originator will try and sell you another loan... Go to your Lender. There is a difference between the two.There is a lot of information on the web to help homeowners to understand the foreclosure process and how to take steps to stop foreclosure..... http://www.all-foreclosure.com/ is a great resource.Homeowners do not wait until your home falls into a foreclosure status to do something about your situation. Take the responsibility and call a Credit Counselor if you do not know what to do.Credit Counseling Services .... https://www.cccsstl.org/enroll/enroll.asp Lauren Corna
