O U T D O O R L I V I N G S PA C E ?

WE SHARE OUR TOP 5 DIY SOLUTIONS.

Written By: JULIE ACHTERMEIER

After another long, drawn-out Covid winter, summer has finally arrived, and we need the enjoyment of the outdoors more than ever. Your backyard may need a makeover but booking a landscape or pool company is a one- to two-year wait.

So, what can you do yourself that’s easy and affordable while providing that wow factor?

Other popular designs this year are powder-coated aluminum pieces, teak wood, and natural ceramics that can handle our summer climate and give a new life to your outdoor living space.

Here are our top five DIY trends you can start implementing this weekend!

Whatever your style, it’s all about comfort, elegance, and being entertainment-ready.

FURNITURE The style grabbing all the attention this year is rattan – but not traditional rattan that has a reputation for being uncomfortable. New and improved styles feature robust backrests and stylish cushions to ensure ultimate comfort while relaxing, sipping wine, or enjoying a ball game on your outdoor TV.

LIGHTING Outdoor LED lighting has become a popular element that complements the mood of your evening while remaining an energy-efficient solution for your home. It can be as easy as a string of lights across your gazebo to twinkle lights under an awning or garden spotlighting beautiful trees and plants.

87621.31.6_014.indd 1

Outdoor day beds and low coffee tables project an open and spacious appeal for those relaxing moments reading or reclining.

2022-05-18 4:45 PM

15

Today’s lighting options range from soft, calming colours for background elegance to bright or colourful lighting perfect for a party atmosphere.

COLOUR PALETTES Soft, dusty accent colours like pink, blue, and neutrals are all the rage this year, adding charm and elegance. Summery colours and contemporary patterns are great for cushions and outdoor rugs.

Or, go for a brighter hue in vintage furniture like a retro-inspired hoop chair or Miami mod accent piece.

FIRE PITS AND OUTDOOR COOKING Outdoor kitchens continue to be on-trend with new additions to the usual BBQ setup. Smokers are gaining popularity as a slowcooking method to prepare meat while spending an afternoon at home. A trip to your local home renovation store provides a range of sizes and prices to suit your needs.

Pizza ovens are very popular again this year but abide by your local bylaws when installing them in your backyard. When designing your outdoor cooking area, consider setting up a patio corner as a dedicated kitchen space.

After your meal, create a ambiance with a modern and cozy chairs. In areas bylaws restrict the use of

87621.31.6_014.indd 2

warm firepit where wood

fires, look for ethanol and propane alternatives for a similar effect.

Many styles also come with a cover, so fires not in use can double as additional tabletop space.

GARDENING In 2021, we saw the emergence of ‘hardscaping’ with prominent stonework bringing a featured look to the backyard. This year, the focus is on ’nature-scaping,’ a natural, wild garden look. Long grasses and rustic garden paths are meant to soften the hardscape with a more natural and less structured look. So, whether you’ve already done hardscaping or are planning to incorporate a feature this year, adding wildflowers and grasses can create a more natural yet unique look.

Are you looking for a change from the same old gardening style?

Vertical planting, also called living walls, is a hot gardening trend to create height and drama in your yard. Whether there’s a plain wall you want to cover or just spruce up your back garden, a living wall can be as simple or intricate as you like. Hang plant pots on vertical frames for a simple, costeffective solution or create a more sophisticated look with modular, hydroponic panels requiring electronically monitored water and nutrient delivery. The only rule to follow is to plant upwards instead of outwards!

PRIVATE MORTGAGE

D I F F E R E N T F RO M A

TRADITIONAL BANK MORTGAGE written by JASON WOODS

Understanding the difference between private mortgages and traditional bank mortgages can help you make the best decision for financing a new home. Each option provides the money to secure real estate, however, they are structured and processed very differently. In general, private lenders are more flexible and responsive, although they may charge a higher interest rate for the loan. This guide provides the necessary information to help you make the right decision on which mortgage type to choose.

What Is a Bank Lender?

Banks take money from depositors and give them a low-interest rate. They turn a tidy profit by lending the money to borrowers at higher rates. Federally chartered banks can also borrow money from the government at lower interest rates, then lend it out at higher rates to make an even greater profit.

What Is a Private Lender?

Private lenders typically manage funds from investors, banks or both. They lend the money out to individuals or businesses who need it. Investors who give money to private lenders expect to make a decent return on their investment. Therefore, private lenders may charge slightly higher rates than banks. On the other hand, it's often easier to get a loan from a private lender, which may have lower criteria than banks and other financial institutions.

Private Lender vs Bank Mortgage Comparison Many borrowers find banks harder to deal with than private lenders. Because they are subject to federal and provincial regulations, banks have more rules and requirements.

Mortgage brokers who deal with banks must be familiar with numerous programs that can vary depending on location. In turn, each of these programs has its own rules about who it can lend to and the criteria needed to qualify for its mortgage programs.

Alternatively, while private lenders also have to conform to federal and provincial laws, they are more flexible and offer more options to home buyers. As a result, private lenders may approve more loans than traditional banks do. Private mortgage brokers can also customize the criteria used to approve your mortgage loan. These criteria include debt to income, loan to value ratio and credit scores.

Banks often rely on computers to make decisions based on your financial history and income sources. They don't handle unusual circumstances very well. For instance, selfemployed borrowers often have a hard time qualifying for bank loans because they don't have wage and tax statements from traditional employers. Private lenders often dig deeper when investigating who should qualify for a loan and are more likely to overlook certain flaws following a valid explanation.

Should I Get a Private Mortgage or Bank Mortgage?

Private lending benefits home buyers in the following situations: • Unconventional property loan • Time-sensitive situations • Unable to secure a bank mortgage • Poor credit • Self-employed, unable to verify income • Lack of credit history

Reasons to Choose a Private Lender More lenient guidelines and restrictions are just one reason borrowers choose private mortgages. Other reasons include: • Easier to qualify: Private lenders create their own rules so they can ask for smaller down payments or accept applications with lower credit ratings. This might be a good option if you're interested in buying an investment property or flipping homes, for example.

• Shorter approval process: Because of the easier criteria, you get to the closing table more quickly with fewer hurdles to jump, including appraisals and inspections.

• Flexibility: You can negotiate your terms, such as flexible repayment plans

Final Thoughts A private mortgage broker provides financing from investors or other unconventional funding sources. This makes private mortgages attractive for those who don't do well when seeking traditional bank loans. While it's important to consider the pros and cons of each type of mortgage, private mortgages offer far more flexibility for borrowers who want to negotiate their terms without strict rules and regulations to be concerned with.

CREATING A

ready - to - sell HOME

2022-05-18 4:57 PM

O

nce spring comes, for-sale signs pop up with the daffodils.

An early start to home-selling season helps homeowners move faster and be ready once it’s time to get their houses on the market. If you’re thinking about selling your home, it’s a good idea to get it into a show state before the for-sale sign is out front.

25

FIRST IMPRESSIONS Everyone has heard that you only have one chance to make a first impression, and it’s true. Begin with a deep clean. Outdated light fixtures are forgivable, but a dirt ring where the carpet meets the baseboard isn’t. It makes potential buyers wonder what else was missed. A deep clean includes steaming carpets, dusting walls, cleaning HVAC returns and vents, and polishing light fixtures.

Even refrigerators and ovens should be cleaned and look appealing.

For one homeowner, while everything looked neat, one peek inside the oven killed any potential sale. It looked like a war had been waged there, and made a sight that couldn’t be unseen. Avoid that mistake by cleaning everything, everywhere, thoroughly. Make windows and light fixtures sparkle, and touch up paint dings and smudges.

REPAIRS Give your home a head start by hiring an inspector before the sale. This enables you to find problems before a potential buyer does. Plus, having a list of corrections that were made in advance of the sale makes a positive impression that the house is in good shape. Look at areas of use, such as door handles. Ensure that all the doors, including garage doors, are oiled and are squeak-free.

MORE THAN SUPERFICIAL Think home buyers won’t look in drawers and under the sink?

Think again. Go through cabinets and closets, and pare down.

Throw out excess, and keep all closets, cabinets and drawers orderly. One rule of thumb is to remove 30 percent of everything you have to create more visual space. This means having closet rods that aren’t packed full and bending in the middle.

Clear off countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, and make as much clear, open space as you can. If decorating isn’t your strong suit, hire a home stager to help you work with what you’ve got before the Realtor sends a photographer to put up photos that will either close or sink the deal.

ADD STYLE Nothing can sell a house like curb appeal. It’s like a pretty box with a satin bow: visually inviting. Polish up your home’s look so that the sale isn’t lost at the street. Find small ways to update, like fresh mulch in the front yard beds or a pot of welcoming flowers by the door. Create a welcoming entrance at the foyer, and before long you’ll be putting a “sold” sign out front. ©2022 KATHRYN WEBER. DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

SAM McDADI HOSTS FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT UKRAINE With the desperately sad humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine, we are all looking for ways to step forward and help. Ukrainian refugees in Canada need support, and the millions of displaced people in Ukraine do too. In response to this, Sam McDadi hosted a VIP event at his office in Mississauga on May 17th, and partnered with NBA star Svi Mykhailiuk, to raise funds and awareness for LEN-D A HAND FOUNDATION. This foundation was established by NBA player Alex Len in 2015, with a goal to inspire and empower disadvantaged youth. In the face of the unsettling situation in Ukraine, Alex Len’s homeland, they decided to assist Ukrainian children, women and families affected by the conflict.

The event was a huge success. Mississauga Mayor, Bonnie Crombie made an impassioned appeal for contributions, and several NBA stars and players turned out to help with the appeal.

To join the fundraiser and make a donation, you can go to the LEN-D A HAND FOUNDATION Instagram page @lendhandfoundation or to donate directly go to https://linkpop.com/lendhandfoundation Please help join the movement and support Ukraine!
