You’ve Got The Keys. Now What? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - especially when it comes to home maintenance. Routine maintenance and renovations can not only help thwart potentially expensive repairs, they are are key factors in ensuring your home will last for generations. Coupled with consistent upgrades over the life of the structure, they can help your home hold value over the years. The first item on every homeowner’s maintenance list should be looking for and addressing moisture issues, both inside and outside. Gutters, drainpipes, outdoor faucets, roofs, windows should all be inspected to ensure they are in proper working order. Clean moisture-retaining debris from foundations and basement window wells. Apply quality waterproofing products to wooden outdoor decks and steps. Indoor condensation encourages growth of mold and mildew. Look for, and fix, loose caulking around tubs, leaking faucets/tubs and under-performing bathroom fans. Roofing, siding, electric, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) are all big ticket items that require seasonal monitoring for any necessary updates/replacements. Unless you have proper training, contact professionals to help with these systems. Thankfully, not every repair or upgrade has to be a major one. You may be able to personally handle many items on your maintenance list. Just make sure you get to them. Little fixes can prevent bigger problems down the road.

Top Tips For A Worry-Free Vacation

When it’s time to embark on your well-deserved getaway, the last thing you want is to worry about the things that could go wrong at your unattended house. It’s pretty common to wonder if everything is OK while you’re on vacation, says Chip Wade, an HGTV expert. Especially since there are plenty of hair-raising tales out there of people discovering a bad situation awaits them at home, from burst water pipes to a break-in. “If you have this nagging thought following you around that maybe you forgot to lock the back door before you left, that can really mess up your head space,” Wade says. “And that’s not good, especially since the point of vacation is to forget your cares and enjoy yourself.” Before you go, eliminate worry from your itinerary and ensure a happy homecoming by following this pre-vacation checklist from Wade. Stop the mail: “When fliers, deliveries and bills with sensitive personal information pile up in your mailbox, you may as well post a sign in your front yard that your house is unoccupied,” Wade says. “Trust, me, burglars live for these clear-cut signs.” This is a simple fix. Just fill out a quick online form with the U.S. Postal Service, and they’ll hold your mail until after you return. It’s also a good idea to check your inbox just to make sure there aren’t any lingering online orders set to arrive while you’re gone. Tidy up: Even in your pre-vacation rush to get ready, leave some time for a quick cleanup, because it always feels good to come home to a clean and orderly house. That means getting everyone in the family to pick up and put away. Also, be sure to go through your fridge and cupboards so you can toss any items that are likely to spoil so you can avoid being greeted by unpleasant odors.

newsShorts Turn off the water: It happens so often, Wade says, that it feels like vacation is something that activates Murphy’s law of homeownership: Somewhere in the house, a pipe springs a leak. After many days of undetected dripping, streaming or gushing, it can add up to major damage to anything in the water’s path: cabinets, floors, ceilings, furniture, drywall. Play it safe and before you go, turn off the water main. Adjust the thermostat: When no one’s home, there’s no need to keep the thermostat set to your favorite at-home setting. At the same time, you don’t want high temperatures from a heat wave to damage plants or overwork your refrigerator. In the summer, set the thermostat to 85 degrees. It’s also helpful to own a programmable thermostat like the York Affinity Hx Touch-Screen Thermostat, Wade says, because you can adjust the setting from your mobile device from anywhere in the world. Plus, you can remotely monitor your system for alerts, so if something goes wrong, you’re still in control even when you’re not around. Turn to a friend: Not every situation calls for a house-sitter, but just knowing that someone has an eye on the place lends tremendous peace of mind. Enlist a friend or trusted neighbor to swing by your house each day, checking the doors and collecting any fliers or packages left behind for safekeeping. “To make sure you have a worry-free vacation, make a list, and check it twice,” Wade says. “And once your friend does that first check-in, just let your worries go. After all, if something really goes wrong, they will let you know.” If you’re interested in learning more about the York Affinity Hx Touch-Screen Thermostat, visit York.com. (BPT) -

If It Can Rain,

It Can Flood:

Why Flood Insurance Is a Wise Bet For Homeowners

The federal government considers floods the nation’s most common natural disaster. They strike every state and leave homeowners with huge repair costs. Why? Because typical homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage. Those policies may provide protection for water damage when it comes through a hole in the roof or from wind-driven rain. But coverage doesn’t extend to damage caused by water from a stormswollen river, torrential rainfall or other floodinducing conditions. Homeowners are required to purchase flood insurance if they have a federally backed mortgage and live in a high-risk flood area as identified by the National Flood Insurance Program. For others, though, it’s optional. With premiums starting as low as $171 a year for a home and its contents, it’s coverage homeowners should highly consider. “Floods can occur anywhere,” says Corise Morrison, executive director of residual markets for USAA. “Low risk does not mean no risk.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) establishes flood-risk ratings for areas based on hydrologic studies and other data. In high-risk areas, a 1 in 4 chance of flooding exists over a 30-year mortgage. In moderate- to lowrisk zones, the chance of flooding is reduced but still present. More than 20 percent of the NFIP’s claims come from people with property outside of high-risk areas, according to federal estimates. USAA sells and services coverage under the NFIP. The program’s maximum coverage is $250,000 for a home and $100,000 for its contents, but USAA can refer members to a broker if additional coverage is needed. The program also provides coverage to condo owners and renters. Homeowners can assess their risk for natural disasters plus get tips on how to minimize them and protect their personal property with USAA’s Property Risk Assessment Tool. But don’t wait until an extreme storm is approaching to act. Normally, flood coverage won’t begin until 30 days after purchase. Get a a quote for flood insurance at USAA.com. (BPT) -

Selecting The Right

Deck Railing

As one of the most visible elements of a deck, the railing serves an important aesthetic and structural role — adding support, safety and style. Here are five expert tips for creating the perfect perimeter for your outdoor space. 1) Aim high and low - When choosing railing, look for high-performance and low-maintenance materials, so that you’ll be able to spend more time relaxing on your deck rather than maintaining it. Although a classic option, wood railing requires frequent staining and sealing and is prone to rot and decay. Glass also requires a lot of upkeep, while iron is heavy and can be difficult to install. Aluminum and composite offer durable, attractive and versatile options that are easy to work with and maintain. 2) Showcase your style - Selecting railing color and style should be fun, but it also can be overwhelming considering the myriad options available. To simplify things, use one of the following approaches to achieve a successful decking and railing pairing: Coordinate - You can never go wrong by selecting railing in the same shade as your decking, such as dark brown railing for a dark brown deck. This creates a cozy, well-coordinated look. Contrast- If you have trouble finding a perfect match for your decking — or if you’re open to trying something different — consider railing in a contrasting color, such as black or white. Both are classic options that complement virtually any outdoor setting. Customize- For homeowners seeking a custom look, let the creative juices flow. Mix colors and materials, such as combining dark aluminum railing and balusters with white composite posts, to create a dramatic, distinctive design. For those who prefer to eliminate any guesswork from the process, Trex Company offers a Decking & Railing Duos tool on its website, which features designer-curated railing pairings for the brand’s most popular decking colors.

newsShorts 3) Optimize views and privacy- If you’re lucky enough to have a view beyond your deck, optimize it with aluminum railing that offers maximum strength with a minimalist style. Designed to offer all the benefits of other horizontal baluster railing designs without the hassle of maintenance, Trex Signature Rod Railing blends into the background, allowing your view to be the focal point. If scenic views are not the focus, opt for railing options that feature thicker posts and larger balusters to help enhance the privacy of your outdoor space. 4) Factor in function- One of the most popular trends right now — especially among homeowners who like to entertain outdoors — is “cocktail railing.” This design approach uses a deck board as a top rail to create a flat surface ledge at just the right height for holding drinks and plates. By using boards that match the decking, you can achieve a look that perfectly complements your home’s deck, while making great use of space. 5) Light it up- Augment the beauty of your railing and lengthen the time you can spend enjoying your deck with discrete outdoor lighting that can be integrated on railing posts and caps. Not only will lighting set the mood, it also will add safety and security. Consider LED dimmable options to maximize energy efficiency. (BPT) -

Survey RevealsTop

Neighborhood Priorities Features such as walk-in closets and multiple bathrooms are repeatedly named “must-haves” by home buyers. It turns out, however, the old adage “location, location, location” is as true as ever when it comes to what homeowners really want.

According to the latest independent survey from Ally Home, the direct-to-consumer mortgage unit of Ally Financial Inc., the feel of a community, its “vibe,” is a critical component for home buyers. Fully 88 percent of Americans surveyed said a neighborhood’s vibe plays an important role in deciding where to live- and nearly half say it’s extremely important. “The home-buying process can feel overwhelming at times, and it can be

easy to lose sight of the important factors,” said Diane Morais, President of Consumer & Commercial Banking Products at Ally Bank. “If consumers think ahead of time about the characteristics of their ideal neighborhood whether it’s an area with a close-knit community, a place that’s walkable to stores or restaurants, or even a neighborhood with strong cell phone coverage - it can help put them in a stronger position to find that perfect home.” A home’s price and its physical location are important considerations, but as a homeowner, your tastes and lifestyle need to align with those of your community. The survey found nearly threequarters of respondents would be willing to settle for a smaller house or pay a little more than originally intended to reside in their perfect neighborhood. So what are the characteristics that comprise the ideal neighborhood vibe? Millennials make up more than a third of today’s home buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors’ 2018 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends Report. Almost 30 percent of millennials seek a modern community where they can walk to everything, including reasonably priced bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Millennials are willing to swap curb appeal for great schools nearby for their kids (or future families) and strong Internet and cell phone service. Despite their reputation, millennials’ ideal community doesn’t need to include an organic market. Home buyers of all ages are attracted to pleasant locales, with 36 percent of respondents interested in a safe community with friendly people. Another 21 percent prefer a family-centric neighborhood vibe, where families live in close proximity to one another and socialize frequently as a community. Perhaps surprisingly, cultural centers are not must-haves for most. The survey found just 15 percent are interested in having cultural attractions such as museums, historical sites, or theaters nearby. And less than 10 percent prioritize a great selection of retail shops and an upscale urban setting. Visit: https://www.ally.com/do-it-right/home/ whats-your-ideal-neighborhood-vibe/ to take a short quiz to reveal your personal neighborhood vibe. For further facts on home buying, go to www.ally.com.

Owning A Vacation Home Is More Affordable Than Many Realize Relaxing by the water or in the mountains is more than a once-a-year vacation for people who own a second home, and the explosive growth of the vacation home rental industry has put the dream of affording a vacation home within reach for more people. For those who already own a second home, the increasing popularity of renting those homes to others is boosting retirement savings, college tuition payments and disposable income. How It Works: Here’s helpful information to know when estimating how much you can earn by renting out a second home to others: Vacation home owners who list their properties for rent on one site, HomeAway.com®, garner an average of $32,000 each year, according to HomeAway data. That income lets most owners cover a significant chunk of their mortgage payment each year, 75 percent or more. The numbers get even more appealing if house payments are split among more than one owner. In fact, nearly one in three vacation homes are owned by multiple people, typically family members and friends. What You Should Know: Here’s what potential buyers should consider before taking the plunge into buying and renting out a vacation home:

Realtor Spotlight

You’ll do better with

• HomeAway.com offers a free online tool called “Earn” that lets you enter a home’s address and other information, then presents a range of rental income potential based on nearby highperforming, like-sized properties already being rented out. The tool is available at HomeAway. com by clicking on “List Your Property” or going directly to www.homeaway.com/earn. • Calculate more than the mortgage. Vacation home owners often must pay for additional insurance coverage and may want to hire professional cleaners between guests. New owners may need to invest money to get a house guest-ready with fresh paint and linens, as well as for professional photography for the online listing. Also consider the tax obligations on the home’s income, as well as any local or state tax that may apply to the home as a rental property. • Be realistic about how much time the house will be available to renters. The typical vacation home on VRBO.com is occupied by renters 18 weeks a year, leaving plenty of time for use by

“Working hard to get the best value for you and your family.”

the owners’ family and friends. Owners who use their homes during peak travel times will earn less than those who block their calendars during less popular vacation times. • Decide whether managing the property is a do-it-yourself project or is better left to a professional property manager to handle reservations, guest communications, cleaning and maintenance. Homeowners report they spend seven hours a week managing their vacation homes when they do it themselves. Vacation rentals continue to grow in popularity each year. Travel research firm Phocuswright measures the private accommodation industry in the U.S. alone to be worth nearly $37 billion by the end of this year, a figure that is growing at twice the rate of the travel industry’s.

Your Fiduciary: As a registered Investment Advisor Firm, it is required of us to always act as our clients fiduciary. This means always putting our clients best interests first. This is in contrast to that of a Broker/Dealer relationship, as Broker/ Dealers are only required to make “suitable” recommendations versus always being required to make recommendations that are in your best interest. Transparent: Registered Investment Advisor Firms are required to always fully disclose all fees and potential conflicts of interest to you, the client. Our clients know exactly how much they pay for our services in a clearly spelled out written agreement – again in stark contrast to traditional Broker/Dealer representative requirements on transparancy. Fee Only: As a registered Investment Advisor Firm, we are compensated from fully disclosed fees, and accept no commissions or any other forms of third party compensation, thus eliminating any conflicts of interest. Again, as a Registered Investment Advisor Firm, we are always required to act in your best interest, and we can think of no better way than by refusing commissions and third party incentives for recommendations we make that create conflicts of interest.

In addition to all of the above, we are:

Salvatore T.Valente III, RFC®

Independent – We work for our clients, rather than representing a speciﬁc bank, investment or insurance company. We have no sales quotas, contests and accept no compensation from third parties, therefore we can offer our clients many, many more investment options at a much lower cost.

Are you ready to experience the fee-only difference? We are never paid commissions or referral fees, We do not sell products (Loaded Mutual Funds or ”other products”).
