Rent To Own

Rent to own or lease option to purchase what ever you want to call it is a valid purchasing technique. This is an option that can benefit the seller and the buyer equally.

For example if you have a home that you want to sell and the present tenant would like to purchase it you may check into the option to lease purchase. This is a lease for a fixed period of time with an option to purchase the property on a future date usually within three years. The advantage to this is the seller gets to collect his rent over the entire period of this time and the buyer will have the option to purchase on the agreed upon date. The tenant has the right but not the obligation to purchase the property. According to what financial arrangements have been made the tenant may have to forfeit some of the funds paid into the escrow account. This is an option that can both benefit the buyer and the seller but you should see a qualified real estate attorney to draw the necessary papers so both parties will be protected.

Jennifer Lopez Car Ad

While watching television the other day I saw an advertisement for a small compact car the new Fiat. It featured Jennifer Lopez.

At the time I said to myself I doubt seriously if Jennifer Lopez would ever be seen driving around in a small compact car in the Bronx in New York. The ad went on to portray her returning to her old neighborhood saying that she was inspired and this was her type of world.

Come to find out according to Yahoo Jennifer Lopez was nowhere to be found in the Bronx when this car commercial was shot. She was actually in Los Angeles. The girl featured in the ad was the body double for her. It was reported also that the car actually broke down while filming the commercial. I think the ad would a be more believable if J Lo would've been driving a Mercedes or Cadillac around the streets of Miami or Los Angeles I doubt very seriously if she's ever been in a Fiat or for that matter ever will be. Maybe soon we will see her in a smart car.

Where is Michelle Parker

While driving to Cocoa beach yesterday I noticed many people on the side of the road searching for something then I realized they were looking for any signs of Michelle Parker. Michelle is a missing mother who has disappeared in the last days. Her black, Hummer was found but no signs of Michelle.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family I could not imagine what they are going through. So if you are the person that is holding this poor girl just let her go she has kids and a family that love and need her. Michelle wherever you are hang in their there are many people looking for you and praying for your safe return my family among them. To the people or person who is holding her remember this is the Christmas season a time for compassion and giving so in the spirit of the season give this family the greatest gift that you could and return this girl to her family.

Black Friday

The Christmas season is already upon us boy it came fast. I guess if it was up to the merchants they would like to start on the Fourth of July.

In a few days we will have one of the biggest shopping days of the year commonly known as Black Friday. I have to omit last year I did get up at four clock in the morning and go with a friend of mine to do some Black Friday shopping. I found some pretty good bargains in the electronics department but my biggest purchase was at one of the big box stores where I purchased a washer and dryer. The regular price was $1700 this was one of those washer and dryers that sit on the pedestal you pay extra for the base about $250 each. I bought it complete for $1200 so it was worth my time and loss of sleep.

This Black Friday really I don't need anything but I'm still planning on going out with my wife to see if I can find any great deals. I'm sure I will find something that I can't live without.

Rusty, My Dog

Last year my wife and I were living in Mississippi taking care of my father who at the time was 90 years old. The house we were living in was located on the Gulf Coast in an area known as Gulf Islands National Seashore Park. Some of the land is private property and the rest is owned by the federal government. It is considered a wetlands and there are many wild animals such as red tailed Fox, gators and snakes plus your usual raccoons and possums.

I would normally get up early in the morning have my coffee sitting outside enjoying the fresh air.

One morning while sitting there drinking my coffee a very large rustic looking dog came into the yard. I was thinking wow some kind of wild dog from the swamp as he did look quite ferocious at the time. As the dog approached I said what the heck do you want here! To my relief he began to wag his tail and walked over to me and sat down. This was the beginning of a morning ritual that would last until I moved back to Florida. This dog would come around every morning for breakfast as I had bought some dog food and snacks for him. I gave him the name Rusty because he looked like a Rusty nail. While playing with the dog I learned he was quite intelligent somebody had trained this dog well he would roll over and sit and chase the ball on command. I don't know how this dog ended up in the swamp but he seemed to enjoy his freedom after two or three hours he would disappear and I would not see him until the next morning. I always wondered what happened to him I went back to the neighborhood recently in the morning but did not see him maybe he found a nice home somewhere I hope so.

If There Is The Will, There Is The Way

We went shopping yesterday and later in the evening, my wife and two friends decided to go to a bar to unwind. We were having fun and we made friends with the people on the next table who were blowing circles in their electronic cigarettes.

Well, it was not a perfect circle though and my friend was curious why she cannot smell cigarette from them. She later found out that it was an e-cigarette. She was smoking since high school and she is willing to quit but, her system cannot do it. She tried alternative ways to quit such as eating gums and it did not help. The people told her that using the electronic cigarette helps a lot and it made them forget smoking.

There is a significant change in their smoking habit as what they said. My friend was curious about it and she was planning to buy a starter kit. I was thrilled with her excitement about it. I am hoping that she will do it and can quit her smoking habit with the help of the electronic cigarette.

Deceptive Advertising

When dealing with immigration services there are many companies that will use deceptive advertising. You may go to a website that you think is the State Department they even use the same layout.

These companies will make applying for a visa, or US citizenship or green cards sound like the impossible dream but you must remember they are all trying to sell you something normally their overpriced services. Many of the services and forms these companies try to sell you are in actuality free from the State Department. They will give you an extremely long timeline to complete whatever task it is you need done by the government unless you use their services which can expedite it this is totally false of course. Some of these companies will actually drag out your process so they may charge more. So be sure to check with the State Department website for your processing information as they will not steer you wrong.

Home Inspection A Must

If you are in the market for a new home before you buy be sure that you have a home inspection. Many people sign a waiver declining the inspection this is a big mistake.

If you decline the home inspection you have nothing to fall back on if something is wrong with the home and there can be many things hidden that you will not see with the untrained eye. A good example of this is the roof it may look like it has been replaced recently but there are places that could have leaks and the wood could be rottten underneath. A home inspector will find these defects this could save you a lot of money. There could also be hidden problems with plumbing, hot water heater or the air conditioner unit all of these things could count up to a lot of money that would have to come out of your pocket.

The home inspection is not that expensive they could run from $200-$300 but this is money well spent in the long run you could save thousands. So before you purchase a home make sure you have it inspected by a reputable home inspection company.

Technology Loving Son

Posted by Virgil Burks:

My son is a huge technology lover. At first I thought it was a phase, but now it is starting to become a problem. He wants to be on the computer all the time. I finally went to get.wildblue.com/ and got internet, but I am starting to regret it. I was thinking it would be a good source of information. I was hopeful my son would be able to use it for school. I even thought it would be a good way for him to make friends. Instead, he uses the internet to research new technology updates or read technology chat boards. I have started limiting his computer use and making him go outside to play. When he was little he loved the outdoors, I would have never thought ten years later I would be forcing him to go outside. I was so excited about what the internet could bring to our household, but I am starting to wonder if it was a good decision. I am hoping this is another phase and he will eventually love going outside again.
