COVER STORY
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT: EAGLE CREEK GOLF CLUB
T
his month we spotlight our cover woman, Jennifer Abrahamson, who is the new Food and Beverage Manager for the Eagle Creek Golf Club.
Please tell us what’s happening at Eagle Creek? We are going to provide our residents with Community Events, Live Music, Dinner Specials—like Burger Night—themed events, such as Oktoberfest, as well as Holiday Buffets.
Please tell us a little about you and your background: I was born and raised in Kissimmee and currently reside in Saint Cloud. I am married with three children, ages 15, 13 & 10. I started a successful children’s party planning business in 2004, which I continued for 10 years. In 2014, I decided to change paths and started a Wedding & Event Planning Company, which I have continued. During this time I also worked at Harmony Golf Preserve where I started as a banquet server then worked my way up to Banquet Manager, Catering Sales Manager then Food & Beverage Manager. I’ve been there for 13 years.
I know you support many local charities and organizations, are there any you care to mention or discuss? I feel strongly about supporting our
local teachers and students along with our First Responders.
Anything Else you would like me to mention or highlight? I am really excited about the new challenges that Eagle Creek Golf Club will provide me and I look forward to meeting the wonderful residents that come to all of our special events. I always welcome any input or suggestions from the residents on events or themes. Q
Jennifer Abrahamson, Food and Beverage Manager
Eagle Creek is rapidly growing and I feel that it is the perfect place to showcase my talents. They have an amazingly talented Chef, Kimberly Rice, who I have had the pleasure of working with in the past. I am excited to have teamed up with her again to provide an exceptional service to the community

Required Minimum Distribution Rules for Inherited IRAs By Jason Flowers CPA, CFA, CFP, EA, CTFA
T
he penalty for failing to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from an IRA is steep… 50% steep. This hefty penalty applies not only to IRAs you own, but those you inherit. Distribution rules for beneficiaries of inherited IRAs vary based on your relationship to the original owner of the IRA, as well as, whether the original owner died before their own required beginning date for RMDs or on/after their own date for RMDs. In this article we will explore the rules for RMDs based on 2 of the 3 possible relationship categories as well as the timing of original owner’s death. DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY IS SPOUSE ONLY If the original IRA owner dies on or after their required beginning date the spouse may choose one of the following three options: 1. Treat the inherited IRA as their own… i.e. delay RMDs until their own required beginning date. 2. Begin to distribute the assets within the inherited IRA over their own life expectancy. 3. Distribute the assets over the life of the original owner of the IRA (This option makes sense if your deceased spouse was younger than you and you are close to or already at the required beginning date for RMDs). If the original IRA owner dies before their required beginning date the spouse may choose one of the following three options: 1. Treat the inherited IRA as their own… i.e. delay RMDs until their own required beginning date. 2. Distribute the entire balance by the end of the 5th year following the original owner’s death.
3. Distribute the assets over the life spouse that inherited the IRA with the 1st distribution occurring in the year the original owner would have turned 70 ½. DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY IS A NON-SPOUSE INDIVIDUAL If the original IRA owner dies on or after their required beginning date the nonspouse beneficiary(ies) may distribute the assets: 1. Over a period of time based on the younger of 1.) beneficiary’s age or 2.) Owner’s age at birthday in year of death. 2. If multiple non-spouse beneficiaries inherit an IRA, the distributions should be based on the age of the oldest beneficiary for all beneficiaries (unless separate accounts are created). 3. If the inherited IRA is divided into separate accounts for multiple beneficiaries by December 31st of the year following the owner’s death the Inherited IRA can be distributed over the lives of each respective beneficiary. If the original IRA owner dies before their required beginning date the nonspouse beneficiary(ies) may withdraw the entire balance by the end of the 5th year following the original owner’s death. n

BUYING vs RENTING By Jeanine Corcoran
“C
an I afford to buy?” The real question to ask is “Can I afford to continue renting?” Most renters don’t realize the amount of money they pay over a period of several years. An average rent of $2000 a month over 10 years is $240,000! “Why should I buy when I can rent and not have the responsibility of house problems?” Here are the top 3 benefits of home ownership. 1. Tax Advantages – Both property taxes and interest payments are tax
deductible. Always talk to your tax advisor as to the benefits specific to you. 2. Home Value Appreciation – Benefits from increased value over time which builds equity and increased value from home improvements added for your enjoyment. 3. Pride in Ownership – It’s yours! No more asking for permission
to make changes on the place you call home. You now have a sense of permanence and solid foundation in your own home.

There are many programs available for buyers today including programs for Teachers, Medical Professionals, Police Officers, Military and Firefighters. Also, there are county bond programs and state programs to help buyers. Even our company offers a New Buyer’s Program that works in coordination with these programs on new construction to help buyers even more. When considering purchasing a new home or a resale home, it’s important to have a Real Estate Professional and a Mortgage Professional to represent you and help you get the most for your money. Don’t do it alone! Seriously consider the pros and cons of buying versus renting—paying your own mortgage or paying someone else’s mortgage. With interest rates still historically low at or below 4% on a 30-year fixed mortgage, why rent? Now is a great time to buy. n Jeanine Corcoran is the Broker and Owner of The Corcoran Connection, LLC – A Real Estate and Property Management Company.
