THE TOP 10 CREDIT DONT'S DURING THE LOAN PROCESS

THE TOP 10 CREDIT DONT'S DURING THE LOAN PROCESS
1. DONT'S DO ANYTHING THAT WILL CAUSE A RED FLAG TO BE RAISED BY THE SCORING SYSTEM. This would include adding new accounts, co-signing on a loan, changing your name or address with the bureaus. The less activity on your reports during the loan process, the better.
2. DONT'S APPLY FOR NEW CREDIT OF ANY KIND. Including those you have been pre-approved credit card invitations that you receive in the mail or online. Every time that you have your credit pulled by a potential creditor or lender, you lose points from your credit score immediately. Depending on the elements in your current credit report, you could lose anywhere from one to 20 points for one hard inquiry.
3. DONT'S PAY OFF COLLECTIONS OR CHARGE OFFS during the loan process. Unless you can negotiate a delete letter, paying collections will decrease the credit score immediately due to the date of last activity becoming recent. If you want to pay off old accounts, do it through escrow at closing.
4. DON DONT'S MAX OUT OR OVER CHARGE ON YOUR CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTS. This is the fastest way....read the rest of the article at www.HomeINBrevard.Com http://www.homeinbrevard.com/newspost693-top-ten-credit-donts.aspx

Brevard NC Real Estate Update

The Brevard NC Real Estate update & The Pisgah National Forest

by Jay Kaiser on June 16, 2010

The Pisgah National Forest has 512,670 acres and is one of four in the state of NC. We have the Grandfather, Appalachian as well as the Pisgah district of rangers that spread to the edge of Western NC. Looking for a hike we have 950 miles of trails that are open to foot traffic, bike and horse. Not to mention but the Appalachian Trail runs through our forest for a grand total of 110 miles. The Brevard NC area is so blessed to have this abundance of unspoiled native lands, many parts never seen by mans eyes.

?Mini-Apartments Catching on Among Renters Who Can't Pay Retail for Choice Neighborhoods? Are you ready for the next trentd?

Mini-Apartments Catching on Among Renters Who Can't Pay Retail for Choice Neighborhoods
By Roger Vincent

RISMEDIA, June 11, 2010--(MCT)--Timm Freeman's Santa Monica apartment has 17-foot ceilings, granite countertops and collector guitars hanging on the wall. He's got a built-in microwave, dishwasher and central air conditioning.
All in 350 square feet.
Freeman's coffee table is also his dining table. His desk is three steps from his sitting room. And three paces from his stove.
"Everything is within three steps of the next thing," said Freeman, 40, a graphic designer.
Southern California, meet the Manhattan-sized mini-apartment. In a region known for its sprawl, diminutive dwellings are finding a toehold among renters who couldn't otherwise afford to live in choice neighborhoods.
Freeman's apartment may be smaller than many suburban master bedrooms, but rents in his Olympic Studios complex are comparatively small too: $1,110 a month at the low end, and the beach is just a mile away.
Prospective tenants need to sign up for a waiting list: The 165-unit Olympic Studios has been filled since it opened in late 2008. The developers are now building a similar complex nearby, and a pint-sized apartment project is also planned for the Palms neighborhood of West Los Angeles.
The units are about the same size as a large recreational vehicle and have the same design imperative: Fit as many features as possible into a small space, but don't make it claustrophobic.
"It's like a Rubik's Cube," said Jim Andersen of NMS Properties, which built Olympic Studios. "It's a geometry problem."

This was the last cell phone call

 

The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately 
85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she 
Pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the 
Motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient 
Enough to avoid this accident. 
The car had two passengers 
And the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. 
The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact 
And landed 20 feet from where the collision took place. 
 
All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were 
Killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at 
The Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department.. 
Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be 
New drivers, or new motorcycle owners 
AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CELL PHONE!!!!! 
A picture is worth a thousand words. 

Save a life… 

Stop talking on Cell phones and Texting while  trying to drive. 
The life you save may be your own..... Or mine...

The Barns Of Madison County NC

Today we had my wife's family reunion in the Big Pine area of Madison County NC. As we traveled I was impressed at the number old barns in all kinds of conditions and uses. But the actual number of them amazed me. It was obvious that every property or farm was well equipped with one or up to four or 5 barns, sheds, cribs, chicken coups etc.
Here is a sampling of what I saw today. the family names are as follows: My wife's dad is a Worley, and her mom was a Payne, The grandparents to great grandparents were Shelton's and Massey to Canaday Worley who was a traveling preacher that rode his horse or walked sometimes for days, crossing almost impassable mountains and terrain on end to reach his destination to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Payed most times would be eggs, potatoes, a chicken, or whatever they could afford. ,
More to come soon! but for now enjoy the Barns of Madision County
