    The Devil Made Me Do It
    Unfortunately there is a growing trend in the US to blame someone else for our own mistakes or bad decisions.If you build your house on the beach and it gets blown over by a hurricane, FEMA will take care of rebuilding it.If you eat too much, some nice trial lawyer will be happy to sue McDonalds or Ben & Jerry’s for making high fat food that you decided to eat too much of.If you smoke, it was the tobacco makers’ fault and there’s billions to be made on those class action lawsuits.And on and on it goes.There seems to be a growing trend in the financial field to blame lenders for the terrible plight too many borrowers are in. After all they had the gall to market a product, credit, that they wanted you to use so they could make money.They bombard college students from the first day of school with credit card offers.They send you unsolicited offers of new credit in the mail.They allow you to carry 5, 6 or more different credit cards with cumulative credit limits well above your ability to repay.And of course there are the easy repayment terms that will stretch you debt out indefinitely.But, just because they offer these products doesn’t mean you have to accept them. And if you accept them, it doesn’t mean you have to use them.There are many temptations in life: be they high fat foods, tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, gambling or credit. There is also a surplus of information on the Internet, in books, in magazines and newspapers an

    Starting Art Restoration Services In Houston: Combination Of Art And Science

Houston is known across the world for several reasons. The City has earned a good name because of the NASA space center, International business, champion sports teams, and world famous medical center.

    The primary California law governing Preforeclosure Sales is Civil Code Sections 1695-1695.17. (In addition there are other California statutes governing foreclosure consultants in Civil Code Sections 2945-2945.11 and predatory lending in Financial Code Sections 4970-4979.6.) Federal bankruptcy law can also have an impact. Finally, there are practical considerations.

    California Law

    The California preforeclosure sale statutes are relatively intricate. They apply to any residential real property consisting of one-to-four family dwelling units, one of which the owner occupies as his or her principal place of residence, and against which there is an outstanding notice of default. Here are the high points.

    1. Every equity purchase contract must be written in at least 10-point bold type and must be fully completed and signed and dated before execution of any instrument of conveyance of the residence in foreclosure. The contract must include the entire agreement of the parties, including but not limited to the terms of any rental agreement. See Section 1695.3 for the full requirements list.

    2. In addition, each contract must contain the following notice in at least 14-point boldface type, if the contract is printed or in capital letters if the contract is typed, and completed with the name of the equity purchaser, immediately above the notice of cancellation:

    NOTICE REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA LAW

    Until your right to cancel this contract has ended, (Name of Equity Purchaser) or anyone working for __________(Name of Equity Purchaser) CANNOT ask you to sign or have you sign any deed or any other document.

    3. The equity seller has the right to cancel any contract with an equity purchaser until midnight of the fifth business day following the day on which the equity seller signs the contract or until 8 a.m. on the day scheduled for the sale of the property pursuant to a power of sale conferred in a deed of trust, whichever occurs first.

    4. Immediately before the equity seller’s signature, the contract must contain a conspicuous statement in a size equal to at least 12-point bold type, if the contract is printed or in capital letters if the contract is typed, as follows:

    You may cancel this contract for the sale of your house without any penalty or obligation at any time before ________________________________________ (Date and time of day). See the attached notice of cancellation form for an explanation of this right.

    5. The contract must be accompanied by a completed form in duplicate, captioned “notice of cancellation” in a size equal to 12-point bold type, if the contract is printed or in capital letters if the contract is typed, followed by a space in which the equity purchaser must enter the date on which the equity seller executes the contract. The form must be attached to the contract, must be easily detachable, and the text of the form must be in type of at least 10-points, if the contract is printed or in capital letters if the contract is typed. See Section 1695.5(b) for the wording of the cancellation notice.

    Beware the Latte of Death
    Good morning, can I get you your regular? You bet a double latte, here is the $5 and see you tomorrow or I might sneak by on the way home. Sound familiar? If so you are suffering from late stage Latte-melanoma and if you are not careful you can die from this. Die of poverty I mean.There are plenty of studies on the Net about how the average coffee house drinker can drop $1000-1500 per year! Holly coffee beans that is a whack of money for coffee. I researched a franchise of a well-known chain and got to look at the numbers, folks that stuff they sell is not that expensive for them to make. We are giving them huge profits and when that happens we suffer.There are several solutions to this health menace. My favorite is stop! Well if that is unlikely, can you go and get yourself a really nice mug and your own machine? I have seen plenty of good quality espresso, latte, cappuccino or even plain old coffee machines for a lot less than what you would spend in a coffee house.As I think about it, $1500 buys a really nice vacation in a tropical location. Is that coffee in the morning really doing it for you versus a week in an all-inclusive resort on the Riviera? Oh I know you need that little “pick me up” in the morning. Did you know an apple has more “pick me up” than a cup of coffee? It’s okay, I did not believe it either until I tested it out in my clinic with patients for a year or so. It takes a month or more to detox from the coffee before the apple can kick in, yes most coffee sold in

    Affiliate Marketing - An Excellent Choice for Your First Home Internet Business

The monetary incentive is usually in the form of a percentage-based commission or a fixed dollar amount. Affiliate programs are sometimes referred to as associate programs or referral programs. Affiliates are also referred to as publishers in many cases.Sponsoring an affiliate program makes sense for an online merchant because it helps to Increase online exposure Increase traffic leading to greater sales Generate more targeted leads For an Internet entrepreneur there are many more reasons it makes sense to start an Internet affiliate business.

    How Intellectual Property Assets Affect Estate Taxes
    Society is currently moving through a transition from a community whose wealth is based in tangible goods, such as the means of production, to a community whose true wealth lies in intangible forms of property. We are moving toward a period where knowledge and ideas are more valuable than physical objects. Intellectual property, such as patents, copyright, trademarks and even trade secrets are what drive many of this country’s booming sectors. With widespread internet access, the creation of intellectual property is no longer restricted to large corporations or wealthy people who can afford to develop such property. Any person can develop value through a copyright, a patentable invention or a trademark. As intellectual property continues to grow as a wealth creation tool, individuals will be faced with the challenge of determining the value of the property, and the effect that such property will have on estate taxes.Estate taxes on intellectual property, especially those based on copyrights, can have a substantial effect. When determining a person’s estate for purposes of estate taxes, it is first necessary to determine one’s gross estate. A person’s gross estate includes probate property and other tangible and intangible assets, such as retirement accounts or joint property. The current exemption for estate taxes is $2 million and will remain at this level through 2008. The estate tax exemption amount will then increase to $3.5 million in 2009, and is currently scheduled to be repealed i

    How to Get Your Promotional Articles Accepted by Publishers
    As the publisher of an article directory, I see this all the time: writers and other marketers who are so desperate to get their promotional seen they really don't think about how they are marketing, where they are marketing, or who they are marketing to.As an article writer myself, who has gone from almost no listings at all in the last year in Google, to over 46,000, I'd like to give you a little insight into to how you can get your articles read and seen so that get you the traffic and sales you are looking for.1. Target your market This should be obvious. If you're writing articles about real estate, find sites that accept articles on real estate. Find directories that accept articles on real estate. Then your article is more likely to get accepted.Some article writers assume, wrongly, because a certain type of article is related to a subject, that article will be published on a certain type of site.Not so. It's a good idea to explore the content of a site before submitting, unless it's a general article directory. This will tell you whether this article is a good fit or not.2. Don't submit an ad or a press release I get this one a lot. My question to people like this is, "What makes you think I'll publish your ad?"I pay for my web hosting, domains, and all the other expenses incurred in running an online business. Why should I help you? Why do I have to waste my time deleting your junk from my site?I'm a writer and then a marketer, but in t

The form must be attached to the contract, must be easily detachable, and the text of the form must be in type of at least 10-points, if the contract is printed or in capital letters if the contract is typed. See Section 1695.5(b) for the wording of the cancellation notice.

    6. Until the time within which the equity seller may cancel the transaction has fully elapsed, the equity purchaser cannot do any of the following:

    (1) Obtain or induce the equity seller to execute any instrument of conveyance of any interest in the residence.

    (2) Record with the county recorder any document, including, but not limited to, any instrument of conveyance.

    (3) Transfer or encumber or purport to transfer or encumber any interest in the residence in foreclosure to any third party.

    (4) Pay the equity seller any consideration.

    7. An equity purchaser cannot make any untrue or misleading statements regarding the value of the residence in foreclosure, the amount of proceeds the equity seller will receive after a foreclosure sale, or any other untrue or misleading statement concerning the sale of the residence.

    8. Whenever the equity seller is given an option to repurchase the residence, the equity purchaser cannot cause any encumbrance to be placed on the property or grant any interest in such property to any other person without the written consent of the equity seller.

    9. Where the equity seller is given an option to repurchase, the presumption is that the transaction is a loan transaction unless there is “clear and convincing evidence to the contrary”. Unfortunately, no one yet knows what would be sufficient evidence. For example, is it enough if there are no monthly payments (for rent or otherwise) due from the equity seller? One has to assume that any attorney later representing the equity seller would argue that the presumption applies, since then certain loan statutes apply. Still, language should be inserted in the agreement that will help prove the transaction is not a loan.

    a. If the transaction is deemed to be a loan, the California usury laws apply. That means the interest rate cannot exceed the greater of a) 10% per year or b) 5% per year plus the rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on advances to member banks. As of December 2004 the federal reserve rate was 3.25%. Presumably the interest in an equity purchase situation would be calculated by comparing the buy-back amount to the purchase amount – and attributing the difference to interest. The contract could presumably designate a reasonable portion of that amount to costs and fees. Note that there is an exception for loans made or arranged by any person licensed as a real estate broker by the State of California and secured in whole or in part by liens on real property.
