Save 10,000 Gallons

in 10 Minutes

Did you know that easy-to-fix household leaks could waste at least 10,000 gallons of water per year (and 10 percent of your water bill)?

Join thousands of Americans all over the country this week in taking just 10 minutes to check for household water leaks.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program, in the span of two television commercial breaks, you could save more than 10,000 gallons of water, which is equivalent to the water used to wash 10 months’ worth of laundry.

Finding leaks is easy. To get started, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank to check for silent toilet leaks. Wait 10 minutes before flushing; if color shows up in the bowl, you probably need a new toilet flapper—an easy repair.

While you wait, check your other plumbing fixtures for drips—they may seem small, but all those drops really add up. Next, check your winter water bills. Most families of four use 12,000 gallons of water per month or less in winter. If your bill is showing something higher, you could have a serious leak—inside or out.

Finally, step outside and inspect your garden hoses. Are they damaged or cracked from winter’s frost? If you have an inground irrigation system, an irrigation professional certified through a WaterSense labeled program can check for leaks and broken sprinkler heads.

Fannie Mae recently introduced an expanded HomePath for Short Sales tool to resolve short sale challenges.

The new short sale escalation process is open to any real estate professional working on a short sale involving a Fannie Mae-owned loan. Once a case is escalated, Fannie Mae will directly engage with the agent or servicer to address challenges such as valuation disputes, delays by servicers or uncooperative subordinate lien holders. Agents can also use the new escalation process to receive a recommended list price from Fannie Mae prior to listing the property for sale.

Real estate professionals can visit homepathforshortsales.com for information on Fannie Mae’s short sale process and www. homepathforshortsales.com/hpshortsaleinquiry. html to raise an issue on a particular short sale with Fannie Mae directly. (RealEstateRama)

TVTip-Over Injuries On The Rise A report released by Safe Kids Worldwide and SANUS revealed that every three weeks, a child dies from a television tipping over and nearly 13,000 more children are injured each year in the U.S. This represents a 31 percent increase in TV tip-over-related injuries over the last ten years.

To prevent injuries, assess the stability of the TVs in your home and the homes of relatives where your children visit. Remember, children playing with friends or pets could knock a TV over, while other kids might be tempted to climb up to reach items placed on or near a TV, such as remote controls or candy. Securing your TV to the wall is a safe solution. Much like child proofing with a toddler gate or electrical socket cover, TV mounts and furniture straps are necessary precautions for keeping your family safe.

Show Me The Money Is a picture really worth a thousand words?

DataPro researchers Justin Benefield, Christopher Cain and Ken Johnson evaluated 4,000 home sales and found that including at least one photo of a residential online listing can increase the sale price by up to 3.9 percent.

Additional findings revealed sellers can expect to net about $150 to $200 more for each photo they add and interior photos have more impact on increasing the selling price (3.9%) than exterior photos (1.9%).

Many TV tip-overs are a result of unsteady TVs that are not secured to the wall. Flat screen TVs that are top-heavy with narrow bases can be easily

Young children are at greatest risk of TV tip-overs.

According to the research, 7 out of 10 children injured by TV tip-overs are 5 years old or younger.

This age group also accounts for 9 out of 10 serious injuries requiring hospitalization, including head injuries, which are among the most severe.

"While the photos can help increase the sales price," cautions Melissa Tracey, REALTOR(R) Magazine, "Don’t expect it to help you sell the home faster." The study found that providing buyers with photos translated to more information for buyers to process and actually slows the decision making process - adding 16.5 days to the selling process. (NAR)

Hong Kong is the most expensive location in the world to rent a high-end apartment. Rents for an unfurnished three bedroom apartment in a sought after part of the city average $11,500 US dollars per month. Globally, monthly rental prices for a 3 bedroom apartment average between $3,080 - $3,030 US dollars.

In almost every culture, a red door means "welcome." Some cultures, however, place additional emphasis on red doors. In Ireland, red doors are thought to ward off ghosts. In Feng Shui, painting your door bright red supposedly draws positive energy into a home.

Red doors often symbolized a safe house along the path of the Underground Railway and in Scotland, a red door often singified the mortgage was paid off. At LifeandHomes, the red door simply means the owners like the color red. (houzz.com)

A Japanese company has developed a residential earthquake-proofing system that raises a house off of its foundation as far as 3 centimeters using just air pressure. When an earthquake hits, compressors activate, forcing an immense amount of air under the home. The house will levitate there until the earthquake ends, then be placed gently back on the foundation.

* An umbrella policy or rider provides additional higher limits for liability coverage for your home, auto and watercraft. It may also provide coverage for event not covered by your homeowners policy.

Things You Should Know About

DeductionsThat Could

Homeowners Insurance

.

* Discounts are available if you have higher deductibles, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, dead bolt locks, hurricane shutters, or laminated glass.

* The policy comes with a deductible that you can request to be higher or lower and there are windstorm, or hurricane deductibles for policies issued in certain areas.

*Rates are affected by local fire protection, age and type of building, and use of the building.

For all the talk about taxes during the "fiscal cliff" debate at the end of 2012, many people are still left wondering what it means to them as the April 15 filing date approaches. Brush up on these five deductions before tackling your tax return.

* Rates are affected by the kind of construction, such as brick vs. frame.

* Mold damage is covered if it is due to a covered event. Many policies have a mold limitation for the payment of remediation services. Your policy has to be reviewed for the specific language.

* The building and its’ contents are covered for the named perils. If it is an all risk policy every event is covered except for listed exclusions.

* Some exclusions include flood, wear and tear, earth movement and acts of war.

* Certain items such as computers, silverware, jewelry, guns, money, securities and others listed have monetary limitations. You maybe be able to buy a rider for these items.

* You can purchase an umbrella policy, or rider, if available; flood coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program in many communities, higher levels of liability coverage, lower deductibles, earthquake, coverage for business pursuits on the premises. Just ask the producer concerning any type of coverage you may need.

Cut Your Tax Bill

1. Traditional IRA contributions. You have until April 15 to contribute up to $5,000 to a traditional IRA for 2012 and, if you qualify, deduct it on your tax return.

2. Self-employed retirement plans. If you work for yourself, you can open a Simplified Employee Pension IRA by April 15 and deduct your contribution on your 2012 return.

3. Mortgage interest. You're allowed to deduct interest paid on your primary mortgage, as well as home equity loans, home improvement loans and lines of credit.

4. State and local taxes. The federal government generally allows taxpayers to deduct property and income taxes paid to state and local governments.

5. Sales tax. If you didn't pay much state income tax - or live in a state that doesn't tax income at all - you may be able to choose to deduct sales tax instead. (BPT) Join the Conversation: Go to www.facebook.com/ pages/LifeandHomes-Syracuse to leave your thoughts on this and other articles.

Bathroom Design: It's All In The

Details

It's most likely one of the top reasons you've been putting off pedestal sink or a furniture-style vanity? Will you incorporate that bathroom makeover or remodel - you're not sure where any water-saving faucets or fixtures? And, with all the decisions to begin. What should the decor be like? Do you want a to make, will it all look good together and still perform well?

These questions, and many others, should be at the top of your list when you start mapping out your next bathroom project. Luckily, many manufacturers have made it easier in recent years for you to answer those questions in a painless, affordable way.

L i f e and H o m e s

Syracuse, NY

"We've created several complementing suites of fixtures and faucets," says Kevin McJoynt from Danze, Inc. "The elements of each collection were literally made for each other, which makes your job easier."

So what should you look for when you're planning your next bath or powder room project? Here are a few things to consider when choosing the key pieces:

Sink and vanity Choices are abundant when it comes to the sink area of a bathroom. For those smaller footprint powder rooms, or where storage isn't as critical, consider a pedestal sink. If a pedestal doesn't match your taste or needs, furniture-style vanities can have a significant impact on a room's decor and add extra storage.

We b r i n g p e o p l e a n d h o m e s t o g e t h e r .

Faucet

Shower system

This can be one of the most noticeable accessories in the room and one that homeowners and guests interact with the most. Make sure you choose a style and finish that is consistent with the overall decor. A soft brushed nickel or warm oil-rubbed bronze finish can add a distinct detail to the feeling of the room. If environmentally friendly options are important to you, explore WaterSense-certified faucets that can reduce water usage by 30 percent, without affecting performance.

Years ago homeowners had a handful of choices for showerheads. Today, there are hundreds of styles, functions, finishes and components that can comprise a home's shower system. This is a recently discovered area of the bathroom that can really show off your personality and can help you create a unique retreat. Tastes range from building a "shower spa" with wall- and ceiling-mounted showerheads, to conservation-minded shower stalls equipped with WaterSense-certified showerheads.

Toilet

Bath accessories

This is one of the best places to go "green" in your bathroom. High-efficiency toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf), saving two or more gallons of water during each use compared to many toilets installed in the 1980s and prior. This saves 20 percent compared to more recent 1.6 gpf designs that are standard today. And, just because it's a very utilitarian element of a bathroom, don't skimp on design for this piece. Shape, height, styling and color greatly impact how the toilet can enhance the room's decor.

Careful selection of bath accessories is key to creating a finished look to your project. Once again, homeowners have a huge choice. Whether it's the ornate styling of an old-world towel ring, or the sleek lines of a contemporary towel bar, make sure to select accessories that match your room's faucet, sink and other elements (all the way down to the robe hook).

To accomplish your structured finance objectives, Peachtree Southern maintains close relationships with a comprehensive group of capital providers including traditional lenders as well as emerging sources of capital covering the entire risk spectrum: What kind of commercial mortgage rates can I expect? Commercial mortgage rates are typically about 75 to 150 basis points (0.75% to 1.50%) higher than the prime, 30-year residential mortgage rate. For example, suppose you could refinance your personal residence on a 30-year basis at 4.0% today. If you are an “A” quality borrower, you could therefore expect conventional commercial mortgage rates from commercial banks to be between 4.75% and 5.5%. Commercial mortgage rates on SBA loans and USDA loans are typically 2% to 2.5% higher than the prime residential mortgage rate. Therefore, if the banks in town are quoting 4.0% on 30-year home loans, you will probably pay between 6.0% and 6.5% for an SBA loan or a USDA loan. The commercial mortgage rates of life companies and conduits - because the loans are typically quite large ($3MM+) - are a little better than the commercial mortgage rates of the typical bank. You can expect to pay 35 to 75 basis points (0.35% to 0.75%) over the prime, 30-year residential mortgage rate.
