Feng Shui Home Improvement Tips
Feng Shui Home Improvement Tips
THIS ARTICLE APPEARED IN LIFESTYLES
Feng Shui has been dubbed “acupuncture for your house.” In recent years, it has grown in popularity in the West and around the world. Corporate businesses and thousands of homeowners and apartment dwellers have designed spaces according to Feng Shui principles, and it has been rumored that the British Royal Family has consulted with Feng Shui experts at times. Naysayers cannot fathom how shifting the placement of furniture can change your luck, or why repositioning a mirror can improve your wealth. However, proponents of Feng Shui, like Certified Feng Shui practitioner Karen Michela Parziale, who has been studying and practicing energy work for years, say that the ancient Chinese practice can give the home and your life the makeover it needs.
According to Parziale, Feng Shui can bring warmth, harmony and well being to your home. By using it correctly, you can create a home environment that promotes the flow of positive energy, while discouraging the flow of negative and destructive energy.
Feng Shui is the Chinese system of living harmoniously with the natural elements and forces of earth. At its core is a regard to chi (pronounced "chee"). "Chi is invisible energy that runs through all things - animate and inanimate. In order to live well and prosper, Feng Shui practitioners believe you need a healthy flow of this force in and around your home," says Parziale. "Chi is energy, and when it is absent, life can be 'blocked' and filled with obstacles."
Where positive (good) chi gathers, life can be filled with opportunities and luck. Therefore, you must assess how the chi is running through your home space and correct anything that prevents the adequate flow of the energy. Feng Shui is the art of creating living and working spaces that are comfortable, supportive, attractive and harmonious with their environments. The main goal of Feng Shui is based on the premise that people lead healthier, happier and more prosperous lives when their interior space is in balance.
There are two types of chi: positive/good chi and negative chi. The goals in Feng Shui are to deflect/diffuse the negative and enhance the good chi. For example, in the bedroom, place your bed against the wall, but not in between two doors and never exposed to a window. The bed should have no clutter underneath so that positive energy can flow around it.
Love is very powerful. If you do not have a favorable attachment to objects in your room, remove them from your space. Only fill your home with things you love and have good energy attached to them.
Create good energy in all areas of the home. For example, a dining room cramped with stuff and clutter can possibly create a feeling of pressure in family relationships and inhibit good digestion. Too much heavy and dark furniture - especially when squeezed into very small space - also generates a heavy dark feeling and blocks the flow of energy.
Fix everything in the home that is broken, chipped and not working.
De-Clutter the home. Clutter prevents the flow of good chi, symbolizing stagnant, choked energy. To let the good chi in, keep your home orderly.

Trustee Sales
It's NOT just a job, it's fun, exciting, it's get the blood boiling...Trustee Sales. Arizona is flooded with properties that are reverting back to the lender through a trustee sale. I have been so lucky to work with a few CA investors and we have been hitting the Trustee Sales and have landed quite a few properties.
The basic requirements for bidding at a trustee sale is:
1. $10,000.00 Cashiers check
2. Ability to pay cash for property by 5 p.m. the next day. (if you are the successful bidder but unable to close transaction by 5 p.m. the next day - $10,000.00 will be forfeited)
3. Nerves, stress and excitement exist while standing on the steps of the courthouse. As the caller, quietly calls the sale, you strain to hear the number you came to bid on. Some are not cut out for all this excitement.
If that is you, please do not hesitate to contact me, I have worked with many investors interested in purchasing a property through a trustee sale.
Finding a home which is being foreclosed upon that is in first position is half the battle, I have many resources available which streamline this process. There are many things you must be aware of before you buy one of these properties - a professional Realtor like myself makes the process easier.

Can You Flip a House for Profit in This Market?
I have 2 California investors who are doing it!!!
Actually it may prove to be the most optimal time for such a venture.
Home flippers can still find plenty of opportunities, though they're not entirely without risk. It's a very good time to pick up bargains in the marketplace. Finds those bargains mostly in neighborhoods where you would like to live. Areas undergoing urban renewal present good investment opportunities.
The key ... is doing your research and knowing what you're getting into. Know the area you're buying, the market, how the price compares to the neighborhood and have a good Realtor.

Top 10 Things to Expect in the Housing Market in 2009
Following the too-good-to-be-true housing boom in the first half of this decade, 2008was a dose of reality. The subprime mortgage crisis and the collapse of major financial institutions made this year a tough one for real estate. Expect 2009 to be filled with more change and adjustment in home values and expectations. On a positive note, help is on the way from the Feds, and some experts say a slow recovery could begin in late 2009. Prepare yourself for the challenges -- and opportunities -- of 2009 by getting familiar with what to expect in the housing market.FrontDoor.com lists the top 10 things homebuyers and sellers need to know about a different topic. So stay tuned for tips on everything from foreclosures to taxes.
1. Continued market adjustments.
With home prices in some markets having reached astronomical levels, it was inevitable a reset button be pushed. Sellers will continue to be challenged in 2009 as the inflated pricing of years past adjusts to normal levels. With banks and builders willing to slash prices to sell a backlog of foreclosures and new homes, individual sellers will have to price their homes competitively.
Read More
2. Action from the Obama administration.
Obama's plan to help the housing sector includes a 10 percent mortgage tax credit for homeowners who don't itemize their taxes and a crackdown on abusive lending practices. Read More
3. More assistance programs for homeowners in danger of foreclosure.
While the federal government is attempting to reduce foreclosures, a report released by the Joint Economic Committee predicts 2 million foreclosures in 2009. Homeowners who are at risk should take steps to avoid foreclosure. Read More
4. Some calm to the chaos of the banks' restructuring.
This should cause loan modifications and short sales to get easier, and will also (eventually) decrease the number of bank-owned properties on the market.
Read More
5. Thorough reviews of mortgage applications.
Before the subprime mortgage debacle, you didn't have to prove you could afford to borrow $200,000 for a home and you didn't need a down payment. Those days of sketchy lending practices are gone. Lenders now require potential borrowers to provide extensive income and expense documentation. Homebuyers with the best credit will get the lowest interest rates. Take steps now to get your finances in order and boost your credit score.
6. Low prices and low interest rates.
2009 could be the time for reluctant homebuyers to act, as this is perhaps the last year of the best buying opportunity in recorded economic history.
Read More
7. Cool tech tricks and tools for the real estate obsessed.
As homebuyers turn to the Web more and more for their real estate needs, video, webcasts and mobile search tools are becoming more prevalent. Sellers should consider using these cutting-edge tools to make their homes stand out.
8. Wiser consumers.
After facing this foreclosure crisis, buyers, sellers, real estate agents and even tenants will have a deeper understanding of real estate, mortgage and credit, which they can use to make better decisions and be more self-protective in the future.
Read More
9. Leaner, greener homebuying.
Across the board, homebuying is becoming more eco-friendly, from transactions being conducted digitally to buyers opting for smaller homes within walking distance of school and work.
Read More
10. An increase in consumer confidence.
As the year goes on and we near the projected end of the recession, sellers can breathe a sigh of relief as buyers regain confidence in the market.

Discount Locksmith in Phoenix AZ - 602-235-0631 DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
I wanted to let everyone know about what happened with Discount Locksmith.
This really rubs me the wrong way...
I have a property getting ready around the 1st of December, I represent the buyer.
We had the home inspection done and the outside utility room was locked, just a regular lock with the key hole in the nob, a $12.99 lock.
The key was missing and we could not get into the room and that is where the hot water heater was.
I called the listing agent and she called a locksmith. "Discount Locksmith in Phoenix 602-235-0631...
He charged her $250.00 to re key the lock...yes, you heard me correct $250.00 .... Discount Locksmith my ass. The selling agent told me that and my blood started to boil and it did not cost me a dime.
So, I just called Discount Locksmith in Phoenix AZ 602-235-0631 and asked them how much to come today and re key a lock and I was told $35.00 service call and $19.95 and up depending on the lock...Well this was a cheap door lock..
The owner Adam just called me back and said yes, he could of put a new lock on cheaper BUT no one said we wanted a new lock.... He yelled and screamed and said his price was below other locksmiths.
Talk about getting ripped off... I urge every agent out there in Phoenix and or other States to call Discount Locksmith in Phoenix AZ 602-235-0631 and give them hell, also Do Not use this company. This was wrong and uncalled for...
Thanks for reading and letting me vent.
What is the first Thanksgiving you can remember?
Mine was at my grandma's home in the countryside of New York a little town called Westfield. I remember the family driving from Erie, PA about a 40min drive to granny's. All of my cousins and Aunts and Uncles would be there. My Cousins and we were a pretty big bunch would go off in the woods to swing on a tree vine across a deep ditch.. What great memories I have. Even the Thanksgiving when the dog grabbed the Turkey off the table... That's when it was great to be Thankful that we are Italian because the turkey was gone but all good Italians always have a side of Pasta.
Thanksgiving is a time to sit back and be thankful for the many blessings that you have been given. Every day you are given is a gift...make the most of it.
Tell someone that you are thankful for them today!
Happy Thanksgiving To All
Have a Safe and Wonderful Holiday

Fannie & Freddie To Suspend Foreclosures Through New Year
A Little Holiday Cheer
Additional Time Taken To Implement New Program
The initiative has come down from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to their network of servicers to halt all foreclosure and eviction proceedings between Nov. 26 2008 and Jan. 9, 2009, meant to give a recently announced rescue plan time to work.
The move is expected to give Fannie and Freddie additional time implement the new streamline modification recently announced and set to launch December 15th. The plan enables delinquent borrowers to get a modified mortgage that lowers payments to no more than 38% of their gross incomes.
"By delaying these foreclosure sales, the nation's servicers will have the opportunity to work with more borrowers who could qualify for a modification under the new [program]," said Freddie Mac CEO David M. Moffett in a statement.
As a result, Freddie has told its servicers to immediately contact the 6,000 borrowers who already have auction sales or evictions scheduled for between the specified dates to tell them the sales are postponed. Fannie estimated that 10,000 of its borrowers will be affected. Borrowers facing eviction between Nov. 20 and Nov. 26 were not expected to get relief.
The foreclosure suspension affects only a small percentage of homeowners facing foreclosure over the next two months. Although Fannie and Freddie mortgages account for more than half of all mortgages, they have relatively few of the most risky subprime loans at the center of the foreclosure crisis.
"The vast majority of what's going into foreclosure are not Fannie Freddie loans," said Freddie Mac spokesman Brad German.
The Fannie, Freddie plan was unveiled on Nov. 11. Eligibility is determined by several factors: Homeowners must be 90 days or more late in their mortgage payments, owe at least 90% of their home's current value, live in the home on which the mortgage was taken and have not filed for bankruptcy.
The mortgage rate could be lowered to as little as 3% for five years. After that, it would increase by 1 percentage point a year until it hits either the market rate or the original interest rate, whichever is lower.
Unlike previous federal efforts, participation by servicers is not voluntary. However, as mentioned in previous articles, this plan may not affect a great deal of at risk borrowers. We will continue to provide details of this plan and others as they roll out.

Phoenix AZ Bargain Hunters
Here in Phoenix we are heading into the slower holiday months of November and December, tis the season..for...Buying that home?? Things are shaping up for a better 2009.
City agents confirm that the Investors are out in groves buying the deals.
Less homes on the market, lower prices and if the experts are right, a lot of folks here in the Phoenix Az area withdrew a ton of cash from the markets and might be looking for somewhere to invest... Obviously, hard to say... the City agents I've been speaking with confirm that cash is still king...
So where has all the excess inventory gone, ask the Wall Street Journal...
Bargain Hunters Help Shrink Housing Glut
Lower home prices are luring some buyers back into the U.S. housing market, but foreclosures and a weakening economy are likely to keep downward pressure on prices for at least another year, economists say.
A quarterly Wall Street Journal survey of housing data in 28 major metro areas shows that the glut of unsold homes listed for sale is shrinking in most of them. In many cases, sales have been stimulated by investors who are grabbing what they see as bargains on homes that can be turned into rentals. Metro areas with the biggest drops in for-sale signs include Sacramento and Orange County in California and the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.
The recent headlines give a mixed picture. On Monday, the Census Bureau reported that new home sales in September were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 464,000 units, down 33% from September 2007. The median sales price for new homes in September was $218,400, down 9% from a year earlier. Last week, the National Association of Realtors said sales of previously occupied homes in September edged up 1.4% from the depressed year-earlier level, the first such rise since November 2005, largely reflecting sales of foreclosed homes.

Ever Dream of living in the Willo
Now here is your chance!! 239,500 ...
Was heading down to the Farmers Market this morning and thought I would STOP by and view this New Listing that just came on the market.. This home is well worth the money.... Just to live in the Willow.. To be Nestled in the very heart of urban Phoenix. I love this neighborhood.. and the lot is huge.
SF: 1,104 239,500 ... Charming home located in the Willo Historic District! 2 bedrooms/1 bath home has been updated somewhat and shows great! Wood floors, master bedroom has a sitting room, separate exit for 2nd bedroom could be an office. To my surprise there was basement. The basement was at least a 9' x 12' it would make a great canning cellar, working fire place and more! This is a find...
If you are a fan like me , or just interested in homes from the 1920’s through 1940’s, then the Willo is for you. The Willo has a wide variety of architectural styles, all nestled in the wonderful area we call the Willo Historic District of Phoenix. A hundred years ago, this was farm land on the outskirts of town, Then in the early 1920’s, a few Bungalow style homes were built, and Willo became a suburb.
Cottage Living Magazine profiled Willo as one of the top ten cottage communities in the United States. More info on Willo Neighborhood News or Map of the Willo The Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission(HPC) implements the responsibilities of the city Historic Preservation Ordinance. There are many Financial Benefits to owning a home in a Historic District which include grants from the city to help with exterior rehabilitation as well as property tax reductions. Check out my web-site or contact Linda for more historic neighborhood info or to VIEW this home or any other home.

Optimal time to buy in Phoenix
This is the optimal time to buy a home in Phoenix
Who should be buying residential real estate in Phoenix right now? YOU!!!
If this just might be your magic moment.
Interest rates are still deliciously low, but both current events and long term trends suggest they’re headed higher. If you are a 1st time home buyer, you will be buying your next home at a bargain-basement price.
I have sold 2 homes this month alone in Tempe, Mesa to college students, their parents are looking to snap up deals on condominiums and homes while prices are so low.
First-time home-buyers are taking advantage of this market, as well, with low-down-payment.
This is a great time to own a home in Phoenix.
The Investors, have already figured that out. It’s very easy to acquire a home in a commuter-friendly suburb that will be cash-flow positive from the first tenant. Investor loans can be hard to obtain, but prices are so low that many investors are simply paying cash.
Evaluate Your Physical and Financial Situation
I came across this today as I was having my coffee. I thought it was great info for the 1st time home buyer, so decided to put it on my blog... THX Frontdoor

If you're selling real estate here in the City, you have a pretty good idea where things are headed... prices are not going up, mortgages are harder and harder to come across and the bad agents are going away...
the folks over at home and garden TV have come up with a similar lists... but to make it sound really authoritative they gave it a fancy title, but it works for me...

Don’t settle for less than someone who does their due diligence and housing homework.
You’re not alone, Many home buyers are looking, waiting ,looking, drooling … looking, longing … looking and wanting to buy a house.
Why don’t more make a move, when it’s a fact that in many real estate markets throughout the country, Prices are LOW the lowest in 6 yrs. here in Phoenix.
Fear turns the dream of homeownership into the perceived nightmare of high risk. In most cases, fear is the number one culprit in letting go of your housing dreams:
Fear of Wall Street worries.
Fear of employment security.
Fear of buying at the wrong time
Fear of the current state of finances in the country.
A lot going on in your head.

5.Get at least three referrals for a mortgage broker from your local real estate agent and from trusted friends or co-workers who have made a recent move.
6.Visit a mortgage broker and get pre-approved. Then sit down with your pre-approval and work out what the numbers..you don’t end up overextending yourself.
7.Can you still buy groceries, pay your utility bills and maintain your desired lifestyle without a big drain on your finances?
8.You must speak to a real estate agent who has a pulse on local neighborhood values - for current and past markets.
Don’t settle for less than someone who does their due diligence and housing homework.

Historic Phoenix Low Prices & Plenty Homes to go Around
Weather you are buying or selling a historic home, you need a realtor who can give you expert advice. Prices are Low and it's time to Buy that Historic Home you thought you could never afford...
Nestled in and around the Downtown and Central Phoenix areas lie a variety of Historic Districts, each with their own unique style and appeal. Vintage Homes range from charming 800 square foot Bungalows to luxurious Spanish Colonials sprawling over 5000 square feet. These "one-of-a-kind" properties beg to be lived in, loved and cherished. Some sport panoramic views of downtown or Central Avenue high rises… Others sit quietly on a block of mature trees, flowers and solitude … All of these homes make up an area with distinctively different architecture and most importantly , a sense of place and belonging.
To own a home that looks like nothing else in the neighborhood. To select an exterior paint that doesn’t dress another home on the block, but fits yours like a fine suit. To sit on your front porch and watch the evolution of an area is inestimable. These are the Historic neighborhoods where most know your name and share in a closeness not achieved elsewhere in the city. These are areas to take PRIDE in, to covet, to enhance with your own special ideas.

Camelback Corridor
Camelback Corridor - Camelback Corridor and Arcadia is one of Phoenix’s most popular regions. Camelback Corridor to us runs from approximately 44th Street, west along Camelback Road, to about 12th Street.
It also runs north and south from Camelback Road from about Bethany Home Road to about Osborn or so. Homeowners in this established part of the city enjoy fabulous views of two stunning natural landmarks, Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak, formerly known as Squaw Peak. Residential neighborhoods in the Corridor, such as Arcadia and Biltmore, contain stately homes surrounded by mature trees and clean landscaping. Camelback Corridor is largely defined by Biltmore Fashion Park and the intersection of 24th Street and Camelback. The area thrives with high rise condo buildings.

2008 US City Rankings - Thinking Green
The 50 largest cities in the United States are at least thinking green, according to the 2008 SustainLane U.S. City Rankings released Monday.
The top five cities this year are Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago and New York.
SustainLane ranks the cities in 16 different economic, environmental and clean-tech categories.
"The SustainLane U.S. City Rankings speak ... to the local leadership found across America and how mayors, city councils and their offices of sustainability are preparing their cities for resource deficits due to high gas and energy prices, rising food prices said James Elsen, the CEO of SustainLane Media, in a press release.
This year, SustainLane found trends that helped raise municipal scores across the board. One of the biggest is the general mainstreaming of the green movement. City Officials nationwide are considering the sustainability of their cities, appointing sustainability offices, creating climate change plans and mandating green municipalities.
The full report is available on the SustainLane website.
