pembroke pines: HOMEOWNERSHIP IS STILL THE AMERICAN DREAM
- 11/13/22 10:40 AM
Buying a home is a powerful decision, and it remains a key part of the American Dream. In fact, the 2022 Consumer Insights Report from Mynd found the majority of people polled still view homeownership as a key life achievement. Let’s explore just a few of the reasons why so many Americans continue to value homeownership.
The Financial Benefits of Owning a Home One possible reason homeownership is viewed so highly is because owning a home is a significant wealth-building tool, and it provides meaningful financial stability over renting by locking in your monthly housing payments for the length of your home loan.

- 06/20/22 06:51 AM
Experts in the real estate industry use a number of terms when they talk about what's happening with home prices. And some of those words sound a bit similar but mean very different things.

Where Home Prices Have Been in Recent Years For starters, you’ve probably heard home prices have skyrocketed over the past two years, but homes were actually … (2 comments)

pembroke pines: BUY OR RENT A HOUSE IN BROWARD COUNTY, FL.
- 05/05/14 09:28 AM
Making the decision to rent or buy a property is often easy. For those with no savings, unstable employment, impaired credit and/or a preference for mobility, it's clear that renting is the way to go. However, once the opposite is true, i.e. renters have savings for down payments & closing costs, improved credit, etc., then making the decision to continue to rent or buy becomes more complex. Consumers have to decide if, financially, renting is more advantageous in the short & long terms. Financial considerations aside, the need for more/less space and/or a particular neighborhood also greatly influences whether a consumer remains a renter or becomes a … (0 comments)

pembroke pines: THE DEMISE OF MALLS? NOT YET!
- 03/18/14 02:18 AM
I recently read about the demise of neighborhood malls & was intrigued. Two weeks ago, I visited the mall near me (Pembroke Lakes Mall) and noticed that the place was packed! Many of the retailers in this mall are also hiring. And this mall doesn't even have a cineplex to draw customers from. So, why the gloom?
I learned that several factors are coming together to undermine these centers of commerce & sociology. Although the first reason cited for lower mall traffic by many is online commerce, retail pundits agree that online business alone isn't the chief reason for the decline in traffic. In fact, online purchases account for only 6% … (1 comments)

Purchasing a home is the biggest investment most people make in their lifetime. During the process, it's important to think twice before doing anything that can negatively affect the important credit score & debt ratios. Following are examples of ill-timed decisions that may derail the home purchase:
Incurring Major Expenses: Making a major purchase such as a vehicle, taking a lavish vacation or incurring debt to pay for a spectacular wedding are examples of expenses that can wait until after closing on the purchase;
Moving Money: Moving money from account to account is suspicious. Lending personnel will ask to see 2 or 3 months’ of statements … (0 comments)
