The progression of home sales within the housing market is dependent on first time home buyers starting the domino affect. Their home purchases are the catalysts that allow people to sell their existing home and then move into a new property such as a larger home, condo or townhouse.

With the 2008-2009 financial melt down; there came job losses, pay cuts, depression and much more pains for all of us. Every day I open up news papers and the headlines talked about job cuts, market crash and big financial houses collapsing or running to government for shelter. I hate to crib about things, so I decided to start hunting for positive news, within the bad news. And soon I could see that the real estate prices were falling, rentals have dropped and manufactures, suppliers were offering good discounts to sustain. This means, I can buy or rent space for my business at cheap cost. This means, my investment to start a business will be lesser than it would have been 2 years[..]

How did it happen? You spent months researching how to invest in real estate. You went to seminars, read books and magazine articles showing the easy way to buy properties to fix up and sell for profit. You may have worked with a great Realtor to find the perfect property or came across a FSBO that was a tremendous deal. After the closing you worked hard to rehab the home to sell quickly: fixed the plumbing, put in new cabinets or carpeting and repainted with neutral colors. Now the home is on the market and it is NOT selling. What went wrong? Although I am aware that each situation is different, I would like to share a story of first time real estate investors gone wrong. If any part of[..]
What an exciting day; the day you close on your new home! A few days before, your Realtor had called to schedule the date and time of the final walk-through. You thought, "This is great! I needed to check the paint color in the bedroom and measure the windows for blinds." But that is not what the final walk-through is for. This is the last opportunity for you to see the home prior to closing. It is an appointment not to be missed or glossed over. It is a time to stay focused on your investment and examine the condition of the property one last time. The purchase agreement that you sign in the state of Minnesota requires the seller to warrant that the central air conditioning, heating,[..]

Earlier this year the pre-foreclosure and REO homes I was showing as a REALTOR® were overpriced and trashed. In most situations buyers were better negotiating with a traditional seller for their first homes and leave the heavily damaged and risky home bank-owned homes to the investor with money to burn. But, as they say, that was then and this is now. NOW, it is time to take a serious look at foreclosure properties. In the past few weeks, I had the opportunity to visit several dozen bank owned properties throughout the area where I work in Anoka County, Minnesota. Though several were in less than desirable condition, my first time homebuyers and I were pleasantly surprised many in[..]
Replacing your old windows can have an extremely positive effect on your heating and cooling costs. Even if you don't think your windows are that bad, even slightly inefficient windows are major sources of energy loss in our homes today. In the long run, the savings you will see on your heating and cooling costs will pay for the initial cost of having new efficient window installed. Having new windows put in will also look better, and bring the value of your home up. The effect new windows can have on your heating and cooling costs might surprise you. Even if you think your windows are in decent shape, you may want to consider replacing them with new ones. Windows that are old are less[..]

Why Build a Screen Porch?
In Architecture, a porch is a structure attached to a building to shelter an entrance or to serve as a semi-enclosed space. It is usually roofed and typically open-sided. It may be screened or glass enclosed. Over the years, the term "porch" has evolved. Its usage has been modified as screen porches have become extensions of living areas. Why build a screened-in-porch? There are a few reasons why. If you have the time and budget to spare, building a screen porch would afford you the luxury of enjoying the outdoors sans the insects and bugs. Minneapolis and Saint Paul may be different from other US cities in terms of other aspects but when summer comes, these two cities are in the same[..]
Welcoming Your Second Baby - Book Review
Our older child cried his eyes out when we brought the new baby home, even though we had thought we had prepared him well. This happened a little more than thirty years ago when there existed no books to educate parents on delicate sibling rivalry issues. Over the years, we managed to ease up the tension between our two boys, but neither my husband nor I will ever forget the horror of that night. As parents of long ago, we may have missed the boat, but I am glad parents of today have reference materials such as "Welcoming Your Second Baby" within easy reach. The book is mostly about preparing the first child for the sibling's arrival. When and how to tell the first child, sharing[..]

The history of cheerleading originates from the United States in the late 1880's with your average crowd yelling and chanting to encourage their team. No one is quite sure how they documented that it was the first cheer ever but credit is given to Princeton University in 1884 for coming up with a Princeton cheer and marking there place in cheerleading history. Then a few years later, the Princeton grad Tom Peebles brought cheering to the University of Minnesota.

s two people to create a child. Each should have an equal right to raise that child and to be part of his/her upbringing. Co-parenting is not always easy, convenient or comfortable, but the opportunity to parent is necessary for both parents. Being a parent should be about caring for your children, making decisions about their upbringing, and watching them learn, grow and mature.

Too quickly language related to our daughter or our son changes and becomes possessory - my daughter or my son. Often, even well intentioned discussions about the[..]

Common Car Modifications that are Useless
Do you ever see a pretty cool car that is completely ruined by a modification? Living in the Twin Cities, I see a lot of these. Sometimes drivers purchase a cool car like an Acura Integra only to ruin its aesthetic appeal by installing lame car body kits. Another mod that really annoys me is the raising or lowering of cars. Why would you want to jump into a car several feet up? Not only that, but it just looks plain tacky. I call it begging for attention. Here are three common body modifications that more often than not destroy the overall coolness of a vehicle. 1. Body kits- I will admit sometimes they do the car some good but I keep seeing cars have a body kit that is a completely[..]

Opry Mills Mall - A Nashville, TN Tourist Spot
One place that many visitors who come to Nashville Tennessee go is what is known as the Opryland area by locals. I grew up only a few minutes away from what was in the beginning Opryland Theme Park. It was your typical theme park with rides and shows with of course a country music twist. It was quite the tourist boon for Nashville. And that is one reason why it dismayed many Nashvillians when they decided to tear it down and build something different. However, the site has grown and now offers more than one attraction to visitors to the city, and you don't have to get on a roller coaster. For one, if you like to eat, shop, eat and go to the movies, there is the Opry Mills Mall. While I[..]
Bank Owned- REO- Foreclosure- Pre-Foreclosure-...

REO or "Real Estate Owned" - Can be read simply as "bank owned" Corporate Owned - Many times this is just another way to say "bank owned" Foreclosure - This is the process by which a lien holder aquires the property through court procedures. Each state operates a little differently, but this process can typically take several months once started and typically does not start until the owner is 60-90 days[..]
Violin Equipment Review - Scott Cao Violins
Scott Cao is an American Violin Maker. One of the divisions of his company specializes in student level violins of all sizes. Made in China, these are called "factory" violins but are actually hand-carved and hand-varnished by makers trained by students of Scott Cao. In the Twin Cities, House of Note in Saint Louis Park sells and rents Scott Cao violins in all sizes. Given that every violin, whether made in a factory or hand-carved by the finest makers, sounds different, achieving a reliably good line of student instruments is a challenge indeed. It is simply unreasonable to expect that every instrument will sound the same, and, indeed they don't. Each has its own voice. Over the years,[..]
