Mesa Patio Homes On The Market Today

September 4th, 2010 No comments

The new Federal Law may, at first, appear beneficial to those not familiar with the subjects of mortgage financing, real estate, appraisals or other services concerning the managing of real estate. I mean we always believe what we read, right?

On July 30, 2009, a series of significant regulatory shifts occurred with the federal enactment of the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act (MDIA) and the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA). Those pieces of legislation impacted both the Truth in Lending disclosures and the Good Faith Estimate provided to mortgage applicants.

Though the recent addition of the Federal Laws give the borrower more time to read and review their Truth in Lending and Good Faith Estimate this is possibly the only positive aspect of the new law. Since many buyers were not aware of their terms when applying for a mortgage, such as APR ( annual percentage rate), length of loan, fixed rate vs. variable rate, the new law gives the buyer seven days to review these documents. Oh, I won’t argue this. Typical buyers, a category in which I am included, did not fully comprehend the terms of their home loans when they entered into their agreements.

One issue that makes things more complicated is if the Annual Percentage Rate either increases or decreases by 1/8% while the loan approval is still pending, you will have to delay a minimum of 3 business days before you can close the escrow on your home. Any adjustments in the fees for your title work will also result in new documents being required and a new three-day waiting period will begin. If the buyer does not “lock” their interest rate this scenario could very well happen.

Loan types vary, and the waiting period will be reset if the loan switches from “Fixed” to “Balloon”, or “Fixed and “ARM”. ARM refers to interest to amortized 3/1 ARM to a 5/ARM–or conventional loans with or without standard Mortgage Insurance.

Where do such regulations originate? Does anyone consider the domino effect or possible consequences these new laws might have on the housing industry? The most important phrase in real estate has always been, “Time is of the Essence”. As a multitude of properties are now in the hands of banks, that concept has lost its importance.

Since homes takes 4, 5, 6 months or longer to close escrow in today’s market, you say to yourself, what’s another 3 to 7 business days? But, with the ever-changing nature of the fees for title work, and the fact that rate locks typically can be done only for 30-45 day periods, the new regulatory scheme is very likely to be little more than a hindrance to swiftly closing real estate transactions for borrowers.

Perhaps those not involved in the mortgage brokerage, lending, appraisal or real estate sales realms might find the new Federal regulation to be positive. It seems easier to believe things that we see in written form.

Altering a variety of rules with the HERA ((Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008) and with the MDIA (Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act), the most recent federal law was just passed and became law on July 30, 2009. These two Acts directly affect the Truth in Lending and Good Faith Estimate which are given to borrowers when they apply for a home loan.

The only positive to this new Federal Law is it provides a borrower (buyer) more time to review their Truth in Lending and Good Faith Estimate. The new law gives the borrower 7 days to read over the papers in case they were not familiar with the particulars of their mortgage like the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), fixed rates, variable rates and scheduled payments. This is not where my dispute lies. Mortgage paperwork is often very lengthy and complicated, with complex terms and conditions that even a lawyer would have trouble understanding!

Should the annual percentage rate move upward or downward an eight of a percent while your loan application is pending, you will be required to allow another three days to pass prior to escrow being able to close on your transaction. The 3 business day rule begins all over again if Title fees are changed, since this sets off an alteration of the mortgage documents as well. The borrower must lock in their interest rate to keep these potentially endless delays from occurring.

Loan types vary, and the waiting period will be reset if the loan switches from “Fixed” to “Balloon”, or “Fixed and “ARM”. ARM refers to interest to amortized 3/1 ARM to a 5/ARM–or conventional loans with or without standard Mortgage Insurance.

Who comes up with these rules? It makes one wonder if anyone had put any thought at all into how these new practices could impact the housing market.` “Time is of the Essence” is a phrase known to many people in the real estate business. As a multitude of properties are now in the hands of banks, that concept has lost its importance.

Since homes takes 4, 5, 6 months or longer to close escrow in today’s market, you say to yourself, what’s another 3 to 7 business days? This new law will doubtless interfere with the closing date of the purchaser’s new home, as the greatest challenge lies with title fees constantly changing while interest rate locks are typically only available for 30 or 45 days.

The American Education System

September 4th, 2010 No comments

Our American Education System Has Been Hi-jacked by Those Advocating a Dumbing Down of Children. Their Goal is to Create a Population of Workers, Not Thinkers.

The American education system is being systematically changed from one of teaching children to think into one of preparing children for the New World Order. Our young people are no longer learning critical thinking skills; theyre taught to embrace the collective.

The New World Order, also commonly called the Global Community, is the vision of the worlds elite. The elite envision a world where God-given rights are a thing of the past.

They envision a world where constant surveillance and brainwashing ensures that the public is subservient to the elites military forces. The plan is to keep you in a constant state of fear. The plan is to ruin the family structure, to turn child against parent.

If you look closely, this is being manifested in the American education system.

“We no longer see the teaching of facts and information as the primary function of education.”

- Dr. Shirley McCune, at the 1989 Kansas Governors Conference

Thats right; the primary purpose is to identify at a young age what vocation each child is best “suited for,” and then churn out “worker bees,” rather than vibrant people full of their own individual ideas.

Mark Cella on Outcome Based American Education System

“If every parent in America knew what was really going on in the public schools, there would be a revolution.”

- Columnist Thomas Sowell

If youre a parent, you need to be aware of a new idea called “Outcome-Based Education” (OBE).

In his comments in the infamous “Dear Hillary letter,” Congressman Henry Hyde charged that the Goals 2000/STW (School-to-Work) education reforms were a planned concept “for dumbing down our schools and changing the character of the nation through behavior modification.”

Congressman Sonny Bono, in the letter to a constituent said: “Our schools will be restructured to teach labor skills and to focus on changing attitudes and social behavior.”

Lynne Cheney, former head of the National Endowment for the Humanities, showed in her New York Times article that: “School-to-Work programs dont just direct job choices. They also seek to inculcate attitudes.”

The chairman of the Education Committee in the Oregon House of Representatives said that through school “reform” Oregon shifted “from effective education (reading, writing and arithmetic) to affective education where the emphasis is on attitudes, behaviors, and socialization. Academic subjects become secondary.”

- quoted from None Dare Call It Education, by John A. Stormer

Mark Cella on Outcome Based American Education System

Realize that as some people became aware of “Outcome-Based Education” (OBE) in the mid-90s, it came under attack by those concerned with its intent at dumbing down our youth.

Therefore, those advocating it stopped using the term. However, its still in operation under other names, such as, performance-based education, competency-based education, and high-performance education.

Again, we turn to Stormers book for insight on two problems with OBE and its effect on the American education system.

Family Research Council issued a report on OBE in 1994 saying:

” … the outcomes that the gurus of OBE have in mind have less to do with whether Johnny can comprehend the Federalist Papers or place the Civil War in the correct half-century than with his acquisition of the desired attitudes on such issues as global resource inequality, multiculturalism, homelessness, alternative lifestyles, and environmentalism. Under OBE, political correctness goes to grade school. The new outcomes are supposed to make education relevant to real life problems.”

The second major problem with OBE is that its advocates say, “No student will fail-all will measure up.” That sounds appealing. Yet all students do not have the same basic abilities. To insure that all achieve the targeted outcomes there must be a leveling down of the goals.

The problem was spelled out in a September 1992 publication of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), In answering the question, What are some of the major challenges in the process of converting to OBE? DESE said:

“The first and most critical challenge is changing our beliefs and attitudes. We must stop believing that a few students will do well in school, that most will be average and that some will certainly fail. That belief or expectation will be difficult to change because, in all our experience, that is what we have observed. A successful conversion to OBE requires us to believe that virtually all students can learn at a satisfactory level. They can if our schools are organized and conducted to achieve that goal.”

Mark Cella on Goals for the Education System

Earlier, we quoted Shirley McCune. Heres what Stormer had to say regarding McCune and her ideas for the American education system in None Dare Call It Education.

“McCune is typical of the new generation of school reformers and planners. She led the way in bringing key educators to see boys and girls as human capital–raw material to be shaped and molded into the bricks and mortar for building a new world order.”

Later Stormer quotes Lamar Alexander, President of the University of Tennesseeand a former Governor of that state, as he describes how theyll restructure Americas society through brand new American schools:

I would think the brand new American school would be open year round-open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. A second characterization might be that these schools would serve children from age three months to eighteen years of age. A shocking thought to you-but if you were to do an inventory of every baby in your community and think about the needs of those babies for the next four or five years, you might see that those needs might not be served in any other way-they have to be served in some way-and maybe around the school. Or if you study a little more, you might go back to think the school might need to serve the pregnant mother of the baby in terms of prenatal care.”

Do you see what these New World Order nuts envision for Americans? They see and are implementing how they can transform the American education system into a complete invasion of the family and private life.

Unless these plans are thwarted, the future will be one where individual parental control over their children will be replaced with state control.

In 1934, a man named Aldous Huxley wrote a fictional book called, Brave New World. In it he wrote.

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to the ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and school teachers.”

Huxleys “fiction” has turned real.

Mark Cella on the American Education System

Our goal is to expose all aspects of Globalization (New World Order), such as how the American education system is in serious danger. The misuse of our American education system is actually a symptom of allowing international bankers and industrialists to control our monetary system. Our money and banking is the key to the New World Order.

More education on this is available at Federal Reserve banking history and Money Creation. Once you understand that the elite cabal funds its Global Community through illegal taxation and fraudulent debt creation, you can begin to see that one solution is to go after that funding.

By blindly buying into Federal taxes and a mountain of debt, Americans are unwittingly funding the elite and their totalitarian plans. It doesnt have to be this way. If the people are educated on the fraud, the fraud falls apart. We suggest you allow Aaron Russo to educate you on the fraudulent tax issue.

Civil Rights

Mark Cella on Civil Rights

Civil Rights and Liberties Are Under Serious Attack. Without Our Basic Freedoms as Afforded by Constitutional Law, We Are Stripped of All Means by Which to Fight NWO.

Our civil rights and liberties have always been under threat and challenged, but never more so than in these times as the war on terrorism is the buzzword on everyone’s mind. Our government is taking away our rights under the guise of keeping Americans “safe.”

Add new technology to the equation, new technology that allows the government to invade our privacy any time they choose, and our freedoms are backed into the corner.

Americans of all backgrounds are feeling the threat against our rights, but none more so than people of Arab descent. We need to work together as one with the government to repair our civil rights and freedoms, starting with abolishing the Patriot Act.

Other ways in which we can protect our rights are by putting an end to the arrest of civilians without cause or warrant as well as prevent the secret detention of people suspected of terrorist activity.

And don’t forget repealing the phrase ‘probable cause’ which has led to the invasion of privacy in countless incidents anytime the government felt like taking a look. All of these policies point to the weakening of judicial power in the government, power the executive branch has taken over.

Americans, in the name of fighting terrorists, are now subjected to policies and practices that do nothing to apprehend terrorists, but do everything to take away our civil rights and liberties. We once fought for the civil rights of people with disabilities, people of color, for women, and for people of different religions. Now we find ourselves fighting for our basic rights that are clearly outlined in the United States Constitution.

Mark Cella on American Civil Rights and Liberties

Congress passed the Patriot Act in 2001 in an effort to aid in the fight against terrorism. This bill alone has destroyed and eaten away at many of our civil rights and liberties. The Patriot Act allows the United States government to detain and hold any foreigners they feel may be a threat to the security of the country.

The act also allows the government to eavesdrop on conversations between lawyers and their clients who are being held in a federal prison if it’s suspected it might deter future acts of violence or terrorism.

Under the Patriot Act, the government and federal agents are now allowed surveillance of e-mail and telephone conversations. They also have the authorization to search anyone’s home or personal property.

These operations, called ‘sneak and peak,’ don’t require a warrant or prior notification to the individual being searched. The Patriot Act has overtaken and overwhelmed this country in so many ways that it’s hard to fathom it’s actually happening.

This type of government authority is something we once expected of communist countries, but now we’re experiencing this extreme violation of our freedoms here in our own country.

Mark Cella on Civil Rights and Liberties

Even though the government will tell you the curtailment of these civil rights and liberties are directed toward suspected terrorists, the truth is that all Americans are affected by these conditions. The atmosphere of war is contagious and there isn’t one person who isn’t affected in some way, no matter how small.

Our right to freedom of speech, to voice our opinions, has been severely threatened all around the country. On December 15, 2001, Janis Besler Heaphy, publisher of the Sacramento Bee, was unable to finish her commencement speech at California State University.

Heaphy made the suggestion that the United States government had gone too far in the curtailing of civil liberties since 9/11.

She was immediately booed by hecklers who resented her implication that too much was being done to retaliate for the attacks on 9/11 when in actuality Heaphy was simply exercising her right to freedom of speech, to make her opinion in a public forum.

Mark Cella on Civil Rights and Liberties

In the case of Heaphy, the media stepped in and supported her right to freedom of speech:

“Many interpret it as a troubling example of rising intolerance for public discourse that questions the nation’s response to the September 11 terror attacks.”

- Geoffrey Mohan, December 20, 2001, Los Angeles Times

The Los Angeles Times was not alone in reporting on this incident. The New York Times and other major newspapers also made sure this story was heard, and Nightline on ABC News did a special report on Heaphy.

This is just one example of what’s been happening all around America. If you’re not completely for the war on terrorism and up to losing a few of your civil liberties, then you must be on the side of terrorists. How many more of our civil rights and liberties do we have to justify before many of them are gone completely?

Flipping Real Estate For Fun And Profit

September 4th, 2010 No comments

If you have the experience of buying and selling real estate, you would probably be interested in flipping real estate. It is not an easy process, and it is not for the weak at heart. But if you get good at it, and with a little bit of luck, you can make a bundle of money.

Flipping is the practice of buying real estate for a very cheap price and then selling it to someone for more money. If you can cover all of the closing costs and still make a profit, you have done well.

To enter into this business, you will need operating capitol or credit available. You are going to have to purchase the first home in some way. While there is some time between purchase of the home and the loan payment, homes that are not resold will require that you have another way to make payments. This is one of the greatest risks in real estate flipping.

Some homes are sold a a low price because they are in need of repair. While these homes may be inexpensive, you will have to make the necessary repairs to sell them at the best price. You will need to have the experience to make a good estimate of the cost of repairs or you can easily spend more money than the home will bring on the market to make the repairs.

Some of the information you seek will be a challenge to find. A lot of it can be searched and found over the internet, but every county in the United States does things just a little bit differently than the next. And some information may seem impossible to retrieve.

If you intend to buy a house and rent it out in order to make it an investment property when you sell it, you had better make sure that the house is rentable. If it is in bad condition, and it cannot even be insured, you are probably not going to be able to rent it out. And if you do, an investor is not going to want to buy that headache. If you just intend to buy a house and sell it for more money, you should know what you are buying and just how much of a profit you may be able to realize. Even people who purchase through auctions find out all they can about the properties before they bid.

Purchasing real estate has risks just like any other investment. While you can potentially make a lot of money, you could also lose just as much money. When purchasing real estate, investors are advised to do due diligence.

This article presented for you by these two sources of real estate news and flipping real estate tips.
