In the context of residential lending and real estate, "points" typically refer to mortgage points or discount points, which are fees paid to a lender at closing to reduce the interest rate on a mortgage. A point is equivalent to 1% of the loan amount, and it can be used to buy down the interest rate. This is essentially a way for borrowers to pay an upfront fee to secure a lower interest rate on their mortgage, which can save them money over the life of the loan.
There are two types of mortgage points:

Friday Fun…What Popped Into Your Mind?

Since today is Pay It Forward Day I have a question for you. I want you to share with us the first thing that popped into your mind when thinking about an act of kindness…a Pay it Forward act that you experienced. 
 

 
What popped into your mind???
 
I’ll share mine…in 1987, Larry was transferred to Florida to start up the South Florida Region of a large home builder. I was 37 and had never lived anywhere but Houston.
 
I was devastated.  My work, my friends, my family, the Galleria,...everything … (4 comments)

azvhv: Can the IRS Seize My Home and Assets? - 04/25/23 11:25 AM
I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, and across the United States. If you owe taxes to the IRS and are unable to pay, you may be concerned that they will seize your home and assets. While the IRS does have the power to seize property to satisfy a tax debt, it is important to note that this is not something that happens without warning.
The IRS would generally only consider seizing a taxpayer's property as a last resort. Before taking such a drastic step, the IRS would typically send multiple written notices and give the taxpayer opportunities to … (2 comments)

azvhv: Motivational Monday ~ In the Moment - 04/24/23 05:22 AM
Living and enjoying life in the moment has taken on a whole new life. So many times we are so busy snapping our experiences on our phones, Go-Pros or Gimbals; we are not present and enjoying, breathing and inhaling the moment. We miss the essence of the experience by not totally embracing and preserving the experience in our hearts and mind.

azvhv: Like Fresh Seafood? Make a Short Trip to The Gulf Coast! - 04/23/23 05:29 AM

Another great thing about The Villages, Florida is where it is located.  Just a short 70-mile drive to the Atlantic coast for a few days get away and a 40-mile drive to the Gulf coast to buy the freshest seafood around!  Shelly’s Seafood Market is located on one of the waterways to the Gulf and what you buy today was swimming this morning, right off the boat.  I have been there as the boat pulls up and they unload the catch of the day.  Here is the story on this 37-year-old family owned and operated commercial fishing business:

azvhv: #TWIB- This week in Baseball / Gallen threw seven inn. of two-hit ball - 04/22/23 11:58 AM
PHOENIX — Zac Gallen has never been too concerned with things like streaks or statistics, saying he’s done his job each inning if there’s a zero on the board for the other team.
It’s safe to say the job is going very well at the moment.
 Gallen threw seven innings of two-hit ball to run his scoreless streak to 21 2/3 innings, Gabriel Moreno had three hits and three RBIs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Diego Padres 9-0 on Friday night.
 
How about our First Place Diamondbacks!

azvhv: The Sunny Pint Taproom in The Villages, Florida - 04/21/23 05:51 AM

I had the pleasure of visiting the Sunny Pint Taproom in The Villages, Florida last weekend.  Friends suggested meet there and was I surprised at what a great place.  The first visit you feel the sunshine, I know cheesy but true.  When you first walk in the delivery system for the 26 different beers on tap get your attention.  We do have two World of Beers in The Villages but this is like that but more 2023 with each tap having a display about the beer.  This from their website:

azvhv: 4/20 - The Marijuana Holiday - 04/20/23 06:07 AM
Over the past decade, 18 states plus DC have legalized marijuana for recreational use.    4/20 has been a day that has been recognized as a national Holiday for cannabis culture.
 
When police officers say "420", it means marijuana smoking is in progress".
 
The true meaning behind 4/20 started in Marin County CA, in 1971 when five students at San Rafael High School would meet at 4:20 pm by the campus' statue of chemist Louis Pasteur to partake.   They chose that specific time because extracurricular activities had usually ended by then.   This group became known as the "Waldos" because … (4 comments)

Wordless Wednesday…Modern Hitchin’ Post?
 
On a recent morning walk at The Boardwalk at Towne Lake, Larry and I came across these….

We had an idea what they were but since we’re in Texas, I thought perhaps they might be the modern version of a Hitchin’ Post!!!
