Resolved Question: Praise the Goddess!!! I have found the light!!!!!!?
I have finally truly found the answer to the question that has been haunting me for nearly two years now. I could not for the life of me figure out WHY this local ultraconservative cult like Christian church has been driving me nuts with the constant harassment. I asked alot of questions on here trying to figure it out and I know that many of you thought that I was just trying to get attention or was nuts. But I have found out why they have targeted me!!!!!!

Their church owns a ranch just north east of here where my great grandfather homesteaded many years ago. Guess what people…. I OWN THE MINERAL RIGHTS TO THEIR RANCH!!!!!!!!!! I inherited them about four years ago from a bachelor Uncle who died. They may own the property but I HAVE THE MINERAL RIGHTS!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They want to make me a member of their little group any way they can so they can get me to GIVE the rights to them.

I don’t know if you guys know this but this area is over a huge lake of sorts of natural gas and oil. This is eastern MOntana, north dakota and I think south dakota too.

SO it is all about money… not my soul, life or the fact i am a wiccan witch…. Just old fashion greed!!!!!!!!!!!!

My question to you is…. What should I do with these rights???????
Zan.. in the state of MOntana… I DO have access to the oil and gas… by LAW. They can’t denie the oil companies I contract with access!!!!!

You’ve certainly heard people say that it’s impossible to save money when there’s a recession going on, but that’s really not the case and there are ways that you can save money, even when there’s not much money to be had. The main thing with saving money during recession times is that you have to be more creative with both spending and saving so that you can still get what you need while putting some money back for a rainy day. Don’t get afraid and buy the hype that you won’t be able to save and that you’ll end up going broke because you can’t even make as much as you need to spend – that’s simply not true for most people.

If you’ve always been a saver and not a spender you’ll probably have some money put back, and if you do that’s a great thing because the recession will be a little bit easier on you overall. When you have some money in the bank you’re generally not as worried about the recession unless it goes on for a very long time, because you know that you can just lower your spending a little bit and live within your means without much of a problem occurring from that. If, though, you’ve always been a spender and not a saver, you probably won’t have very much put back and you won’t be very likely to try to save much during the recession.

Really, though, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been a spender or a saver in the past, because you can learn how to hold onto your money during a recession and you can even learn how to save money and build up a nest egg when other people around you are struggling. You could end up seriously needing that money in the future if the recession doesn’t ease, so recession times can be some of the best times to concentrate on saving some money. When you’re able to save during a recession when you’re making less money and things are tight, just think of how much you’ll be able to save once the recession eases up and things return to a more normal level.

In order to save during a recession (or anytime, actually), you have to spend less than you are making, and there are many different ways to do that – most of them very simple. For example, do you go out for lunch at work or stop and buy yourself a coffee in the morning? If you do, you probably don’t realize how much money you’re actually spending on these things when you could make coffee for yourself in the morning and carry your lunch to work from home, both of which would be much less expensive and often better for you, depending on what kind of lunch you typically eat.

The food that you buy and cook at home for dinners and breakfasts can be an area where serious savings can occur, too, since most families eat pretty heavily today and they often buy whatever looks good instead of paying attention to any of the sales that the grocery stores are offering. When you look for sales you can often buy something and get another one for free, save several dollars each on certain items, and use coupons to get more savings – but be careful of coupons because the store brand is often cheaper than the name brand, even if you use a coupon. At first glance it could seem as though you’re giving up a lot, but you can turn it into something more fun by trying to see who among your family and friends can find the best deal and comparing your shopping with other people who are playing the same ‘game’ of saving money.

Things are not great deals if you don’t need them, no matter how cheap they might be, so don’t fall into the trap of buying things that you really don’t have a use for just because they’re on sale. Those kinds of purchases are usually things that you’ll end up regretting, especially when you see that you could have saved that money to put back or to purchase something else that you really did need. If you read the sale fliers each week and make lists you can shop at the grocery for a lot less money than you used to, meaning that you won’t have to worry as much about how you’re going to save money, and putting you into better shape financially.

If you use a budget or keep a list or journal of the money you’re spending, it can help you spot trends that you might not have otherwise noticed. You can see where literally every penny is going that way, and you won’t have to worry about ‘forgetting’ where a lot of your money went or not understanding how you could have spent so much. A budget can also show you places where you could cut corners and spend less without causing a hardship to your family, and that will help you save even more, even when there’s a recession going on.

So you have tried unsuccessfully to sell your home the usual way. Your home has been on the market for way too long without any type of offer.

Are you like millions of others who can not bear the thought of yet another mortgage payment on a home you no longer live in or do not want any longer? Have you decided to try to sell the home with a Lease Option or Rent to Own Contract, but are questioning whether you should do it alone or enlist help?

One option is to do the work alone. There are several things that you can do to sell your home yourself. Putting a sign in the front yard and placing ads on the internet are both good things to try. Keeping all the upfront money and having to pay no commissions is the clear advantage here.

There are a few things to take into account prior to going down this path.

Since selling a home using the Lease Option is more than likely something you have not done previously, ensure that you comprehend the contracts so that you are protected in the end. Wrong verbiage can make the difference in your actions if the tenant defaults.

You also need to consider your goals and determine if you have the knowledge you need to achieve them. How important is it to you that the tenant/buyer be able to buy the home at the end of the term? Are you comfortable carrying the note long term?

If the goal is to pay off your mortgage and move on, you should consider if you know enough or even care to steer the tenant toward repairing their credit and then ensuring they stay on that track to credit worthiness.

When the day is done, while keeping money in ones pocket is always a benefit, sometimes it is just not the right option.

Lease Option companies are an answer to your problems. They usually contain long lists of clients and can help you in selling your home in short time for full market value.

These companies focus on this type of transaction, unlike a regular realtor. Realtors usually do not have the experience in completing Lease Options and may not be using the best documents that will be for your benefit. When utilizing a lease option company, they normally collect their fees from the buyer upfront, leaving all the end profits for you.

A key advantage is that the buyer is required to be in a supervised credit repair program.

Whatever your decision, using a Lease Option or Lease Purchase can be a great way to sell your home quickly in a down real estate market!

Many real No Money Down Real Estate Programs taught by well known instructors will teach you to go out and make 100 low ball offers to find a good priced rental property. The instructors create this sensation that makes you feel like the only way you’re a successful real estate investor is if you are practically stealing rental property you’re getting them so cheap.

Many of the techniques they teach are very effective – if you have time to make 100 offers in search of a cheap rent house. But, while you’re obsessing about finding that wickedly low priced rent house, you are missing out on really good deals that could be putting cash in your pocket right now!

Let me give you an example of this. When my husband and I purchased a duplex, we instantly added $20,000 to our net worth and $500/month positive cash flow to our pockets. And we did it simply by getting to the heart of the sellers problem and offering a perfect solution.

Notice I didn’t say anything about making low ball offers, hard nose negotiation tactics or crazy clauses to squeeze every ounce of blood from the seller? All we did was look for a problem to solve.

In this particular example, the foreclosed-upon duplex was owned by a bank. With some digging, we found the outstanding balance on the mortgage. We also researched the area thoroughly and learned that the place was worth about $20,000 more than the outstanding balance on the mortgage.

The bank had two problems. They needed to sell the duplex quickly to get rid of the debt, and they had to sell it at a price that would allow them to recover the outstanding mortgage amount. Most other bidders went in with low-ball offers and lost out on this high-quality income-generating property. But my husband and I took a different tack. We offered a quick close and a price equal to the amount of the outstanding mortgage and we had the winning bid.

From this one duplex we make $500 every month; And we added to our net worth the day we bought it.

When you are looking at buying a rental property, instead of focusing on making a steal of a deal, turn your attention to finding the sellers biggest issue and figuring out how you can solve it. When you take a problem-solving approach to deal making, you are more likely to create an even better deal for yourself than if you had focused only on the price. And, no matter what, you’ll be saving yourself the headache and pain of making 100 different offers!

Question: How Sterile is a Seller Expected to Leave the Home After Moving Out?

A reader questions: “I just sold my house on a short sale rather than let the banking company take it in foreclosure. I don’t know who bought it, and I don’t care; we’re just glad to be rid of it. My broker says the house must be “broom swept.” What does that mean? Am I demanded to sterilize it up later moving out? How clean am I supposed to leave the house for the new household buyers?”

Answer: That’s a great question. Break for a instant to weigh the shape of many bank-owned homes. Dirt, filth and mold are often the least of buyers’ worries when they find all the appliances are ripped out, the H2O heater has been stolen and the front doorway is boarded up.

Some banks don’t clean anything, and they insist that house is sold in “as is” shape. Houses in a seller’s possession that are turned over to a new buyer are different. It doesn’t count if that home is a short sale or a standard sale, sellers may have responsibilities to clean the house.

Legal Responsibilities for Cleaning a Home After a Sale In some states, real estate purchase contracts stipulate that the home is to be “broom clean,” meaning the seller should at least sweep the floor, the walls and ceiling. The language in some of these contracts is ambiguous.

Standard contracts don’t deal with the condition of the house apart from stating that the home should be left in fundamentally the same shape as it was when the offer was received. The Residential Purchase Agreement says the prop is sold in its present physical condition as of the date of acceptance, and the seller is to remove all individual property and junk.

To determine the extent of cleaning that you are contractually held to do upon vacating, you should read your purchase agreement.

Regular Ways to Leave a Home After Moving In the absence of a binding necessity to clean the home before moving out, most sellers take particular measures on their own to present the home in an solid condition to buyers. It’s perceivable that after moving all day, sellers may be too beat to expend a lot of time cleaning.

Employing a cleaning service can be an super answer. Sometimes, listing brokers will pay to have the home professionally cleansed.

When buyers bought a Boise home in a nice neighborhood, the listing agent inspected the home upon closure. He determined the carpeting wasn’t good enough, so he hired carpet cleaners to shampoo the carpet before the purchasers moved in. He paid for the cleaning as a courtesy, not because he was duty-bound.

While most purchasers will clean the home to their own measures before moving in, regardless of a sellers’ efforts, following is a listing of things a seller can do to leave a home sensibly clean and produce goodwill:

Cleaning Inside the House Before Moving Away * Take Out all personal property. * Vacuum the floors. * Clean kitchen appliances, inside the refrigerator and oven, and rub down counters. * Scour sinks and bathtubs. * Wipe down interior cabinets and shelves. * Wash tile and vinyl / linoleum flooring.

Cleaning the Garage * Move Out personal belongings. * Throw away junk. * Properly dispose of toxicant chemicals. * Sweep the floor. * Stack items pertaining to the home such as paint cans, roofing materials or surplus flooring.

In essence, leave the home in the condition that you would like to find your new home. Remember, the new home owners might acquire some of your mail by mistake or packages over the holidays. It’s a solid idea to stay on nice terms with the new purchasers. And it’s also the correct thing to do.

Homeowners with bad credit should not discount refinancing their home because it is still a realistic option even with bad credit. Despite the financial climate there are still companies who are still offering bad credit mortgage refinance to home owners with bad credit history. The lenders will show you the options available to homeowners with a poor credit rating. They can show you refinancing options also, if your credit problems are not so bad.

There are many lenders that are reluctant to loan any money regardless of the type of borrowing you are looking for especially when you have a less than perfect credit history. When you find yourself in a situation of bad credit rating, there are still lenders who have expertise in finding you a mortgage refinance even with bad credit. Sourcing these lenders might not be easy but with a bit of effort it is possible.

Be under no illusions, because of having a bad credit history, you are not going to get as good a deal in terms of interest rates and fees than if you had a decent credit rating to start with. It is even possible that before you start there may be a period of time that high interest repayments and pre payment penalties have to be made, prior to repayment of the loan.

A lender who deals with bad credit home loans, are able to help a loan approved regardless of how bad your credit is. They should be able to help you find the best company that can either refinance or purchase a home. Doing a bad credit mortgage refinance can help the homeowners to save tons of money in the long run. It can help them save thousands of dollars, from the duration of the loan. Should have better credit at the time of refinancing then your interest rate could drop drastically and make for a lower home payment. That will help the homeowners and their family live a more comfortable life, during hard times that can get financially trying.

As is common practice for whatever type of credit you may be applying for, the lender will perform extensive credit checks and the individual’s personal circumstances. The lender will want to investigate your credit history and the details of any debts that you have. They will want to know about your current and past employment history and salaries. They will require proof of the information that you provide them with including bank statements and other documentary evidence. Even when going through a bad credit refinance you should you must review your credit score and confirm that it is correct.

Because you are refinancing with bad credit the money lender will want to reduce their risk and will require a larger deposit on the mortgage refinance. Normally a mortgage down payment would be approximately 10% but with bad credit and the deposit will be somewhere in the region of 25%. And so for this reason the lender will want to know how much money you have available when applying for the mortgage refinance. The worse your credit score is the more money that will be required to successfully make the bad credit mortgage refinance.

There are untrustworthy lenders in the market whose priority is not about the welfare of homeowners looking to refinance their mortgage, but rather looking to exploit their financial predicament for their own gains. For this reason care should be taken when choosing the mortgage provider and particular attention should be paid to the finer details of any financial agreement entered into. Be aware of any fees and penalties involved in the future should you have trouble meeting your obligations. When investigating what your options are available for a mortgage refinance be sure to look at all the options available before making any decisions.

With the best intentions in the world, sometimes even the most financially sensible of homeowners can find themselves in a situation of bad credit due to unforeseen circumstances, such as divorce, unemployment or illness. But adverse financial situations can be reversed. But be aware that circumstances can be made worse by making the wrong decision when carrying out a bad credit mortgage refinance. Be sure to investigate the market thoroughly before making your decision, make sure that your financial situation is improved and that any loan agreement entered into will not put you in worse debt than before.

Real estate investing is a tempting proposition these days. With so many great deals out there, how do you know if you should invest in a property? Real estate evaluation can be tricky.

While it is true that you can make money by investing in real estate, it does take time, money and know-how to do it. Here are some property tips to keep in mind.

First of all determine what kind of property you want: commercial or residential. If it’s residential, will you use it as your primary residence, a secondary residence or a rental property? Also, as they say in the real-estate industry, the most important thing to consider is “location, location, location.” Where do you want your new property to be?

Finding property can be fun. A lot of the legwork you can do on the Internet. You can find property listings with pictures and all the information you may need. If you want to invest in more than one parcel, consider purchasing access to a multi-list service (MLS), but be advised that, depending on local regulations, you may need to be a licensed real-estate professional.

You can easily spend hours, days or weeks checking out the listings, but you should not buy a property without stepping away from the computer and going to look at individual sites. As you visit each one, be sure to notice the surrounding neighborhood. Are other properties in good repair? Do you see a lot of “For Sale” signs? If you are really interested in a particular area, take the time to visit briefly with some of the residents. Are there any major problems in the area? Read the local newspaper: does the area seem to be on the rise?

If there is a specific parcel you are interested in, talking to a neighbor may help you find out about problems. The neighbor could tell if the property ever becomes flooded or if he or she often sees repair trucks on the site.

Be sure to visit the parcel itself several times, at different times of day and in different weather. Go when it’s raining and you may find out about a leaky roof or basement. Going on a weekend night will tell you if the neighbors are noisy. Going in the winter will tell you if the furnace works properly.

Unless you are a real estate professional, be sure to hire an inspector before you buy a property. The inspector will list all the major and minor problems he or she finds. Of course, do some inspecting yourself as, unfortunately, not all inspectors are honest.

When you find flaws, do not consider them to be “deal killers”. Instead use them as bargaining chips to drive down the selling price. The owner may be willing to reduce the price if you offer to pick up the cost on some repairs.

When all is said and done, real-estate investing takes a bit of effort. However, if you do your research, both online and onsite, you can get a great return on your investment.

Fluorescent lighting is a form of electric lighting option that is based on the usage of neon gas and mercury. These produce a chemical reaction that causes the phosphor to glow and ultimately give off visible light. Depending on the amount of energy, a fluorescent light will give off a significant degree of illumination that would certainly benefit any home. If you want to know more about fluorescent lights, then this article will provide for you an overview of this topic.

Good Alternative to Incandescent Bulbs

As an alternative to incandescent bulbs, fluorescent lights make a good choice for several reasons. The main advantage is that fluorescent technology is different in that it uses gas discharge and electricity to create light while incandescent bulbs rely on heat reaction. Fluorescent lights are more energy efficient and convert more of the power supplied into visible light. The luminous efficacy factor of fluorescent lights is approximately 22% and for incandescent bulbs only 10%. That is a main reason for the popularity of fluorescent lighting.

Financial Benefits

Fluorescent light bulbs are more expensive to purchase, but nonetheless in the long run will save you money. Many make the mistake of thinking that since incandescent bulbs are cheaper that they will save money. This is wrong, since regular bulbs require a lot of energy and the more energy efficient fluorescent lights will help lower your electric bill.

Last Longer

Fluorescent lighting definitely lasts longer than the average incandescent bulb. It’s estimated that fluorescents have a lifespan that’s six times longer than incandescent lights. What’s more, they can be turned off and on multiple times without you worrying if they’ll quickly burn off or not.

Less Heat

Fluorescent lights also produce less heat than incandescent bulbs. This makes fluorescent lighting suitable for rooms that get too hot, workplaces with heat sensitive equipment and crowded area. However, the disadvantage is that fluorescent lights don’t make good mood lights and don’t create a decorative ambience.

Fluorescent lighting definitely has a lot of advantages. But before you go, here’s a few advice on fluorescent lights: If you don’t have basic knowledge of electrical installation or electronics, then don’t try to install fluorescents yourself. A lot of fluorescent lights are best left to the professionals. You’d do well to heed this advice. Always use your common sense whenever you’re installing or repairing the lighting in your house, whether it’s an incandescent or a fluorescent light.
