Know your indoor air pollutants It is important to have a basic understanding of indoor air pollutants whether you are buying a new home or just wanting to improve your current home. Radon, mold, dust, lead base paint, asbestos, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and combustion gas are the most common pollutants that are found inside a house. Radon is an odorless gas. The EPA lists radon as the second-leading cause of lung cancer. It enters the home through cracks, drains and sumps. A simple test can determine whether the level of radon is dangerous. Mitigation is relatively simple and inexpensive. Mold is very common and occurs to some degree in all homes. Depending of your level of sensitivity this can be a serious problem. Mold grows where there is moisture. So if you find mold the first home improvement is to find the water source and stop the moisture issue. There are several environmentally friendly alterative to removing and cleaning existing mold. mary love

Radon is an odorless gas. The EPA lists it as the second-leading cause of lung cancer. It enters the home through cracks, drains and sumps. A simple test can determine whether the level of radon is dangerous. Dust is a complex mix of grit, pet hair, crumbs and tiny insects. Many people have allergies to dust. It is important to keep your home clean at all times. Removing shoes before entering and wiping pets feet are helpful practices. Utilizing a vacuum with a HEPA filter can reduce the impact of dust blowing around in your home. Lead Base Paint is probably in homes built before 1978. It becomes a problem when it chips and cracks. It is very important to follow the Environmental Protect Agency guidelines when remolding an older home. Asbestos was used in insulation and other products during the 1970s. It becomes a health issue when it is removed and the dust gets into lungs. If you suspect your home has asbestos you need to contact a professional remediation expert before you do any remodeling. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are ingredients that may be carcinogen. They usually have that "new car smell" and can cause immediate physical systems. Common products in homes are cabinetry, carpet and paint. It is important that your home is aired completely before moving into a new or remodel house. Combustion Gas is utilized in homes for heating and cooking. It is critical to maintain properly working equipment and to have carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Understanding these basic pollutants will help you when planning on creating a healthy indoor air environment.

Getanswers answerstotoyour legal questions about realreal estate ...... Get legal questions about estate Email your questions to reweekly@rewnc.com and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get them answered

the question: What time of month is better to close?

the answer: There are differing opinions on this topic. Many lenders will tell you to close at the end of the month so that you have to pay less in per diem interest for the money borrowed from the bank. However, if the extra cash out of pocket is not the biggest concern I would recommend closing at a slower time of the month as your lender and closing attorney will not be as busy. This will help in getting you the closing date and time you want and should make the whole process less stressful. Of course, if you are a cash buyer then timing is not a big issue, but I would still pick a time of the month other than the end so as to not be caught up with those getting loans.

Understanding Real Estate Terms As a first-time home buyer, you are likely to encounter a number of terms that are unfamiliar. To become a more informed and knowledgeable buyer, you should familiarize yourself with the following terms: Closing Costs: The expenses that buyers and sellers normally incur in a real estate transaction. Closing costs are in addition to the price of the house and usually add up to between 3 percent and 6 percent of the mortgage amount. Conventional Loan: A mortgage that is not insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by Veterans Affairs. Origination Fee: The fee charged by a lender to prepare all documents associated with your mortgage. Escrow: A special third-party account that is set up by the lender until all conditions of the purchase contract have been met. Title Search: An examination of public records to ensure that you are purchasing the property from its legal owner and that there are no leins, overdue assessments or other claims that would affect the value or marketability of the property. Deed: A legal document by which the ownership of property is transferred from one owner to another.
