Real estate or fake estate

Give yourself some ‘credit’…

Real….A piece of land, including the air above it and the ground below it, and any buildings or structures on it. Real estate can include business and/or residential properties, and are generally sold either by a Realtor or directly by the individual who owns the property for sale by owner).

Fake…A mirage, hologram, a puff of air that can be sold by anyone, anywhere. Large stacks of paperwork that require hundreds of your signatures. A promise of green pastures, fertile fields, friendly neighbors and guaranteed high resell value. A location that is private, with no taxes, and where the grass only grows on demand. A property where the toilet never fails, the light bulbs don’t burn out, the floors won’t need vacuuming, and the windows always sparkle.

Okay folks…the reality is if you don’t pay your bills on time (or at all) you may have a challenge getting financing for a home. Why is that you ask? Well, would you like to lend your money to someone who is not real dependable when it comes time to paying it back? Uh….no! Neither does a lender. Good credit history consists of a two year history of prompt payments and no outstanding judgments or liens against you. BUT…if you have a good reason for being late or missing some payments, a reasonable explanation will help your case. Check with your lender and see if your particular situation will enable you to borrow the money necessary. If you don’t ask, you won’t know.

Bill’s Corners I’ve been involved with the real estate and mortgage industry for more than 30 years and feel privileged to have landed here in Asheville. Moving from Detroit gave my family and me an appreciation of… ‘wow, can you believe this place!’ I’ve travelled around the world with my speaking opportunities, but this is the ‘cat’s meow’ when it comes to…you name it ... a list of everything good. Every week I hope to be able to give you some information that is pertinent, interesting, and perhaps a little entertaining. So please enjoy my ‘Corner’, and if you do decide to buy a house, rest assured it was a good decision.

Take your exercise a’ la carte

Name this dog I have the honor of being the national dog of Turkey; which of course, gets me on the Turkish postage stamp (it’s a sticky job). I also have a ‘stinky’ job of guarding livestock, including; pigs, cows, and sheep. I have a black mask and a solid body color ranging from dun to dark gray. And, I typically have white feet (hard to keep clean). I am big and strong, am affectionate with children and am very obedient.

I am only found in the eastern region of Turkey, so scheduling a visit is tough.

Answer:

Rodney Dangerfield once quipped, “The trouble with jogging is that by the time you realize you’re not in shape for it, it’s too far to walk back.” Choosing activities that are right for you is important – otherwise you may lose interest or hurt yourself and drop out. Don’t rely on one activity…that can get stale. Variety helps you stick with your program, too. For example, if you like to play tennis but your partner is out of the game with a cold, you can walk, cycle, or pole vault as a backup plan.

(Well maybe swimming would be better).

Sign up now for pet first aid & CPR class The American Red Cross of WNC and Animal Compassion Network (ACN), are partnering to offer the community a pet first aid and CPR class on Saturday, September 17.

The class will take place from 10 am to 2 pm at The American Red Cross, 100 Edgewood Road in Asheville.

The American Animal Hospital Association, (AAHA) states that one outof four pets would survive an accident or illness if pet guardians are familiar with and capable of providing first aid when necessary.

“Just as with humans, performing first aid to an injured pet, prior to getting veterinary assistance, can be the difference between life and death,” said Eileen Bouressa, ACN executive director, and Mary Barnett, Health & Safety Services Director at the American Red Cross of WNC, in a joint statement.

The Pet First Aid and CPR Class will teach pet guardians: how to recog-

nize an emergency; how to perform CPR; how to respond to choking incidents, how to stock and use a pet first aid kit; demonstration on muzzling and restraining an injured animal; responding and preparing for emergencies.

Dr. Randy Wetzel, director of R.E.A.C.H. emergency animal hospital in Asheville, will present a discussion on household toxins and poison prevention. He will cover other emergencies such as awareness about snake bites and prevention.

Cost of the class is $35 which includes: instruction and demonstrations, an American Red Cross First Aid book and DVD for either dogs or cats. An additional book/DVD is $10. Refreshments will be served and door prizes will be given out during the class.

Stress-free low-cost kitchen storage By: Jan Soults Walker ŠHouseLogic.com Low-cost kitchen storage strategies bring calm to your kitchen, banishing stressinducing clutter and leaving the space calm and orderly.

Rack attack: Store pots, everyday dishes, spices, and wine on racks that are freestanding, wall-hung, and ceiling-hung-and voila! Everything is in its own location, visible, and easily accessible!

Position the racks where they make sense: A pot rack above the cooktop; a dish rack close to the dishwasher for quick unloading; spices near the range or meal prep area; a wine rack near the wine glasses and dining table.

You'll find racks in metal, wood, and other materials, starting as low as $10 to $15.

You'll find cool shelves starting as low as $8.

Great divide: Organize the contents of kitchen drawers and cabinets (http://www.houselogic.com/articles/gree n-kitchen-cabinets/) with wire or wood inserts. Drawer dividers keep utensils sorted and orderly. Vertical dividers inside cabinets create a spot for storing trays and cookie sheets. You'll also find special inserts for storing knives and spices neatly inside drawers.

Available in wire, wood, or plastic, dividers start at about $3.

Elevated thinking: Wire stacking shelves have legs to elevate the storage surface.

Set a stacking shelf on a countertop, existing shelf, or inside a cabinet to increase kitchen storage space. Use a stacking shelf for canned goods, dishware, spices, and more.

Prices start at about $6.

Hang ups: Install pegs or hooks along a backsplash, inside cabinets, or anywhere on a kitchen wall to create a place for cups, hot pads, cooking utensils, keys, and recipe clips. Hooks are available that fit over doors or come equipped with magnets that adhere to any metal surface.

Pegs and hooks start as low as $1.

Good news for budget-minded cleaning compulsives: Getting organized in the kitchen won't drain your piggy bank.

Stash more cash and control the chaos with these low-cost kitchen storage solutions, all readily available at home centers, discount stores, and online.

Shelf expression: You can size an open shelf to fit anywhere you need it and paint or stain it to match your d&eacute;cor.

Use shelves for storing such kitchen necessities as cookbooks, attractive dishware, oils and vinegars, and spices.

Home improvement centers have storage sections where you can hunt, but don't overlook the office supply and bathroom sections for even more low-cost shelves.

Basket case: Baskets come in a variety of materials to complement your d&eacute;cor, from natural woven grasses to canvas to colorful plastic bins. Set baskets on open shelves, inside cupboards, and on the kitchen counter to round up small items, such as napkin rings and bamboo skewers.

Baskets are great for storing dish towels, cloth napkins, and coupons. Prices start as low as $1.

With four home renovations to her credit, Jan Soults Walker is a devotee of improvements, products, and trends for the home and garden. For 25 years she's written for a number of national home shelter publications, and has authored 18 books on home improvement and decorating.
