Tips On Making A Do-It-Yourself Move

For a growing number of families, relocating has become a “moving experience.”That’s because whether they’re going across town or across the country, they’re choosing to move themselves.

For some, it’s a way to have more control over the process. For others, it can add up to significant savings.To help you take part in this trend, here are some tips from the professionals at an industry-leading company—Penske.

• Rent from experts. Renting trucks from knowledgeable professionals can help ensure that your move is smooth and easy. “Moving is one of life’s most stressful moments,” said Don Mikes, vice president of truck rental for Penske. “Our goal is to help guide people through their journey.”

• Select smart. A 12 or 16-foot truck can be a very versatile size—excellent for moving everything from a few large items or the contents of a small condo or apartment.

• Reserve early. Book your rental truck at least two weeks in advance.

• Pack wisely. Load your heaviest items first.

Avoid injury by always bending your knees and lifting with your legs.

• The right accessories can make a difference.

Boxes, bubble wrap, moving blankets and hand trucks are essential to protect your items and make your move more enjoyable.

• Get oriented. Ask the truck rental associate to walk you through the vehicle’s features. It should be a clean and well-maintained vehicle.

• Drive green. Use a truck rental company affiliated with EPA’s SmartWay program. A little preparation goes a long way to ensure an easier and safe move.

Make Your Lawn

Something to Share

A lawn is an extension of our living space, a place we can enjoy outdoor activities with family and friends. When pests invade our yards and threaten our comfort and safety, it’s important to take action to control insects and weeds by choosing and using lawn and garden products carefully.

Follow these simple instructions for a PEST (plan, execute, stay aware and treat products with care) plan of action for caring for your lawn: Plan - Before taking action on any lawn care project, research potential problems carefully.

Execute - Once a plan is in place, proper action can be taken. Remember, however, that lawn care products are not effective unless they are used properly.

Stay aware - After the application of pesticides and other pest-management tools, keep track of lawn conditions. Lawns require care beyond the use of pesticides, so it remains important that grass is kept trimmed and watered.

For more information on properly choosing and using pesticides and fertilizers, visit debugthemyths.com or www.pestfacts.org. (ARA)

Treat products with care - Store all pesticides according to label directions, away from children and pets. Handling pesticide products responsibly protects both lawn and homeowner.

• Think safety first. Rental trucks are taller, wider, heavier and require more stopping distance than cars. Pick up your truck early. Practice driving.

Take precautions when the truck is loaded.

Beware of low-hanging branches and overhangs when cornering. Park in well-lit areas and padlock the rear door. Penske Truck Rental has 24/7

emergency roadside assistance and optional protection plans.

• Mark it up. Label as you pack. It makes it easier to put the boxes in the right room when unloading.

Avoid Foreclosure

Rescue Scams

6. “Your lender never had the legal authority to make a loan.” Don’t listen to anyone who claims “secret laws” can erase your debt.

• Clean out, throw out: Take time to go through expenses that aren’t really necessary or useful anymore. Consider cutting them and saving that money or applying it toward paying down another debt.

Following a few suggestions can help save many homeowners struggling with mortgages and other debt from seeing things go from bad to worse.

7. “Just sign this now; we’ll fill in the blanks later.”

Read and understand everything you sign. Never let anyone else fill out paperwork for you. Don’t let anyone pressure you into signing anything.

• Get organized: Explore how you can simplify your finances by making savings and payments automatic, switching to online statements, and consolidating accounts if appropriate.

You can get free assistance from a housing counselor approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at (888) 9954673 and makinghomeaffordable.gov.

8. “Call (800) Fed-Loan.” Beware of companies that imitate official federal programs. Providers must tell you they are affiliated with the government.

• Check your credit health: Consumers should check their credit once every three months. If you haven't checked your credit report and score lately, obtain yours today at TransUnion.com.

As for people or companies offering mortgage modification assistance or foreclosure relief, Federal Trade Commission rules ban advance fees, require clear disclosures and prohibit false or misleading claims.

Experts at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency suggest you beware of these 10 lines: 1. “Pay us $1,000 and we’ll save your home.”

Companies cannot collect fees until you have a written, acceptable offer from your lender and a written description of the key changes to your mortgage.

2. “I guarantee I will save your home—trust me.”

Beware of guarantees like this one. Providers must give you realistic evidence for any claim they make.

Central New York

3. “Sign over your home and we’ll let you stay in it.” Signing over the deed gives the recipient the power to evict you, raise your rent or sell your house—and you’ll still have to pay the mortgage.

L i f e and H o m e s

■

4. “Stop paying your mortgage.” Don’t trust anyone who tells you to stop making mortgage payments to your lender or servicer, even if that person promises to do it for you. You could lose your home and hurt your credit rating.

5. “If your lender calls, don’t talk to them.” Providers cannot tell you to stop communicating with your lender or servicer.

9. “File for bankruptcy and keep your home.”

Filing for bankruptcy stops foreclosure only temporarily. If you don’t make your mortgage payments, the bankruptcy court will eventually let the lender foreclose. Some scam artists may file bankruptcy in your name, without your knowledge, to temporarily stop foreclosure and give you the impression that he or she has negotiated a new agreement on your behalf.

• Plan today for tomorrow: Make sure to save for the unexpected and future goals. Also, if there is a large purchase on the horizon, save now and pay more upfront later - helping you avoid charging the purchase to a credit card and accruing more interest. (ARA)

10. “Why haven’t you replied to our offer? Do you want to live on the streets?” High-pressure tactics signal trouble.

Soft Water: Better for Your Home and Wallet Nearly 90 percent of U.S. homes have hard water, according to the United States Geological Survey. So it’s no surprise that water hardness is the most common water problem reported by consumers.

Hard water is water that contains higherthan-normal amounts of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals cause many problems in a home, including deposits in bathtubs and sinks, spots on faucets and fixtures, and buildup that clogs plumbing and shortens the life of appliances.

* Plumbing stays clean. When scale builds up over time, it will cause clogged pipes and reduced water flow. A 2010 WQA study tested showerheads and found they lost 75 percent of their flow rate in less than two years when using hard water. The same build-up that affects the inside of pipes also affects the outside of showerheads, faucets and drains, eventually making them lose their high polish and becoming harder to clean.

Different products are available on the market to remove the hardness-causing minerals from water. “Water softeners provide the best protection against the problems hard water creates and keep everyday appliances in tiptop shape for years to come,” says Kovach.

While hard water itself is not a safety issue, it can be an expensive nuisance.

“Hard water buildup not only makes appliances and plumbing work harder, shortening their life spans, but it requires them to consume more energy, costing homeowners money,” says Jerry Kovach, vice president of research and development at Kinetico, a leading manufacturer of water treatment products.

* Appliance life. Appliances will last longer because soft water prevents the build-up of scale - from mineral deposits - and allows them to operate effectively. Washing machines and dishwashers can wear out nearly 30 times faster when using hard water.

We br i n g p e o p l e a n d h o m e s t o g e t h e r .

Homeowners can assess the hardness of their water by getting a thorough water quality evaluation to see if any kind of water softening system is needed. Many local water treatment professionals offer in-home testing for free.

Soft water, on the other hand, can provide families with benefits they can literally feel and see. Some of those include: * Detergent savings. With soft water, households can use less soap - whether it is laundry detergent, dish soap or shampoo - and they’ll get better cleaning results. In fact, a recent study funded by the Water Quality Association (WQA) found that when hard water is softened, detergent use can be reduced by 50 percent and washing can be carried out in 60-degree cold water instead of 100-degree hot water and achieve the same or better stain removal, yielding whiter clothes.

Kovach recommends looking for water treatment systems that only regenerate when necessary by measuring water usage to indicate it is time to recharge. That means when a homeowner goes on vacation, so does the system.

Quick & Easy

Garage Organization Tips 1. Hanging Racks - Getting racks that you can hang from the rafters of your garage works great for a variety of items. This garage organization solution works especially well for bikes. It keeps them from taking away valuable floor space while still keeping them easily accessible.

2. Hooks - Long handled items that have a hole in the end work well to hang on hooks.

If you use tarps or any sort of cover for your car or grill, hanging these things on hooks in the garage when they are not in use works very well.

3. Pegboards - Pegboards are the most flexible and inexpensive garage organization tools that there is. You can easily change how your garage is organized just by changing where you put your pegboard holders. When you do get it organized exactly the way you want, take a picture of it and hang the picture up next to the holders. Do this for every section of the garage that has pegboard holders. It

5. Keep sharp and dangerous items off the floor - Making sure things like rakes and hoes get put in their proper place is important for safety. When these items end up on the floor, you can have an unpleasant surprise if you are not watching where you are walking. Always put back items in their proper place that are potentially dangerous.

6. Secure hazardous items - This is another one of those garage organization tips that has to do with safety, always an important topic when you are dealing with garage storage.

7. Wall Tool Holders - These work well for weed trimmers, shovels, rakes, garden equipment and brooms. Having a wall tool holder not only helps keep these items organized but it also means that they stay off the floor.

4. Shelves - The best way to use shelves in your garage is for storing containers and smaller items. Make sure whatever shelving you install will be able to handle the weight load of what you are going to put on it.

should be kept in a secure area that small children and pets cannot reach. Things like paint, weed killers, bug sprays and gas all belong in this category. If you have pets that go in the garage and they can climb, this means putting these items in high cabinets that you can close. If you have children, it is always a good idea to let them know at a young age what is and is not dangerous in the garage.

Selling FSBO? This year, more than ever, is not the time to go it alone. Buyers have many homes to choose from.

A realtor provides maximum exposure, screens prospects, has contacts with attorneys, home inspectors, surveyors, lenders, contractors. We guide you through the maze of contracts, disclosures, marketing, setbacks and myriad of details. More than ever, you need a friend on your side; someone who knows the market, the risks, the ropes. Now an approved HUD broker. You need Neu.Dot Realty.

“Trust in the Lord with all your Heart.” Prov. 3:5

Getting Organized Can

Save You Money Is your life so disorganized that it’s costing you money?

If you’re like all too many Americans, you’re spending so much time rummaging around for lost or misplaced items-wasting a combined 9 million hours a day—that you’re probably too frazzled to even contemplate that question. That’s a real shame. Because it turns out it’s not just stuff like car keys and medicine we’re mislaying. According to Harris Interactive, 23 percent of adults admit to paying their bills late because they’ve lost them in what we’ll call The Great Abyss.

• Baskets are your new best friend. Everyone in your house should have his or her own decorative one to hold loose items. “It’s an instant declutterer,” says Pollack.

And you know what happens when you don’t pay your bills on time, right? You incur late fees— and, in the case of bank credit cards, for example, also open yourself to sky-high annual interest rates.

• No one should be without a “home management” binder. Well, okay, you can probably do without it if you’re paying someone $100,000 a year just to keep track of your family’s schedule, emergency contact numbers and all the rest of life’s minutiae that contribute to high stress levels. But for the rest of us, Pollack advises separating each section with Avery NoteTabs (www.avery.com) that have the advantage of being writable, highlightable, stickable and removable.

“People have to realize that being disorganized has real-life consequences,” says organizational expert Jill Pollack, who’s been featured everywhere from WE’s “Bridezillas” to FoxNews.com.

Time you organized your life? Read on for some expert tips:

• Your second-best friend is your coding system.

Alphabetizing your files—yes, you’ll need files— is apparently so yesterday. The “more intuitive” way to go? Colors. You know, green for financial documents, red for health matters, and so on.

• Stay on top of your bills. Not only do current bills rate a file folder all their own—color code it neon green, if you like—but you need to make a habit of going through it once or twice a week to remit payment.

• Clear your desk. If your home’s cluttered, odds are so is your office. Make a point to clear it before you leave at night so you can start fresh in the morning.

Pollack has three final words of advice for pack rats who insist on keeping every last tax return (seven years normally suffices), every last paycheck (toss once you’ve gotten your W-2 form) and every last credit card statement (shred immediately, after checking for accuracy, since they’re a prime source of identity theft).

Those words? “Purge, purge, purge.” (NAPSI)

Finding the Right Mortgage and Lender Choosing a home and applying for a mortgage in this market can seem a daunting task, especially with all of today’s options and constantly changing news on rates, rules and credit. We’ll help you get started with the basicsinformation and terms you’ll need to know as you enter the home buying (or refinancing) market.

Of Interest Of course, one of your first concerns is the interest rate you’ll get on your loan. How are rates determined? They fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including inflation, the pace of economic growth, and Federal Reserve policy.

Inflation tends to have the largest influence; modest inflation generally leads to lower interest rates, while rising inflation normally causes interest rates to rise. The Federal Reserve, our nation’s central bank, implements policies designed to keep inflation and interest rates relatively low and stable. In addition to interest rates, you should consider closing costs, and the kind of lender with which you want to work.

Details, Details There are many details to consider. What size mortgage can you handle on your income?

To cut through the confusion, choose a friendly, helpful lender with your best interests in mind (preferably one that has a loan officer in the branch to whom you can speak). Do your homework upfront: visit their website to get all the information you can, and if they have online calculators, try them out to get ballpark figures. Write your questions down beforehand, and be prepared to take your time to get all of them answered.

Buying a home is a big step emotionally and financially. If you work with a reputable and helpful lender, it will be a rewarding experience as well.

L i f e and H o m e s

The higher your credit score the better, but remember this is not the only measure used.

ARMed and Ready?

The primary mortgage categories are fixed rate mortgages and adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). A fixed rate mortgage locks you into a fixed payment every month, on a regular schedule, until the principal (cost of the home) and interest are fully paid. The most popular terms of payment are 30 and 15 years. An adjustable rate mortgage offers a lower initial interest rate, but with a trade-off: the rate can change periodically, usually in relation to an index, and the monthly payment will go up or down accordingly. Rising interest rates could lead to higher monthly payments in the future.

If your income is likely to increase in the future or if you only plan on being in the home for three to five years, an ARM can be an attractive choice.

Should you pay discount points in exchange for a lower interest rate? How much money (if any) do you need to put down at closing? Will you save money with a shorter term mortgage?

What taxes, fees and insurance are required?

And so many more.

April

What’s the Score?

A credit score is one of the primary pieces of information used to evaluate your application.

Financial institutions have only recently begun to use credit scoring to assist with their mortgage loan decisions. Credit scores are based on information collected by credit bureaus and information reported each month by your creditors about the balances you owe and the timing of your payments. Some of the things that affect your credit score include: your payment history, outstanding obligations, the length of time you’ve had outstanding credit, the types of credit you use, and the number of inquiries made about your credit history in the recent past.

Many lenders make decisions based purely on “the numbers” -your credit score, income, assets and liabilities - while others will take into account your personal situation as well.
