Virtually all insurers charge less if it appears less likely the home will be damaged or even destroyed: as an example, if the home is situated next to a fire station, or even if the home is equipped with fire sprinklers and fire alarms.Often, claims aren't paid ...

Inspecting a House Before you buy any house, take the time to thoroughly inspect the structure and mechanical systems. Costly repairs can often be avoided or at least anticipated by a preliminary inspection before a purchase offer is signed. If the house is inspected before a purchase offer is made, you will know in advance if heating equipment, rewiring, or any other costly repairs or replacements will be needed. If defects are found, you do not necessarily have to reject the house.
Another option is to offer a lower purchase price based on the cost of correcting the problems. After an offer to purchase contract is signed (but before a loan is applied for or a title inspection ordered), a thorough inspection should be done. Some lenders require a mechanical ...

Groton, VT (ContentDesk) May 7, 2004 - Saving money may sound like opening a savings account but not necessarily according to Gene Jolley, President of Kingdom Financial Principles. Going against the grain of traditional teaching, Jolley advises not to be so quick in depositing extra money in a savings account. Instead people should first concentrate on freeing themselves from debt. Jolley teaches in his seminars a key way to faster debt elimination: save money by finding ways to reduce monthly spending habits.
This is a vital step toward saving money and should not be overlooked. "You will be surprised" Jolley adds, "how much money is going to little items." Once this step is complete the consumer will easily recognize where every dime is being spent and will also be able ...

Do You Qualify For Home-Based Tax Deductions?New changes in the tax laws have made it easier than ever to claim Home Office Deductions and keep more of what you earn. If your home is a place of business, many of your personal expenses can be deducted as business expenses resulting in lower taxes. You may be thinking, "I have an Accountant/CPA/Tax Preparer/Tax Software who knows all about tax deductions so I don't have to know anything about them." There are several reasons why that thinking could be costing you thousands of tax dollars.
Most Accountants/CPA's/Tax Preparers do not "specialize" in Home-Based Businesses and do not keep up with the ever-changing laws pertaining to them. You are ultimately responsible for knowing what you can and cannot deduct as ...

I had a client who called saying that his bath tub just fallen through the floor in his new home (new to him). Mold had eaten away the floor from the crawlspace up. The seller had placed a few 4x4s under the floor to hold everything up long enough to sell the house and get out of town. I asked if he had the house inspected before he bought it. He said, "no, was that important?" Even if you do get a home inspector, look for these things yourself. Some home inspectors don't look for these items. Some never go into the house. Mold test The number one problem faced by new homeowners is mold.
Every week I get a call from an attorney gathering info for a lawsuit against ...
