Top 7 Business Card Do's and Don'ts

2007-04-12T11:54:00.001-07:00

A business card is the calling card for your business, so it's important to make your business card is one people will hold onto and not throw away. Want to make sure your business card is not in the discard pile? Here are seven do's and don'ts which will get your business card into the right hands and noticed.

1. Don't Cheap Out

Yes, you can get business cards for free. VistaPrint.com will give you 250 business cards for free. But, you have the word "free" on the backside of the card which tells everyone you can't afford proper business cards. It doesn't cost much extra at VistaPrint to get the word "free" taken off the back of the card. Do it. And, if you're printing your own business cards make sure the card stock is heavyweight card stock. There's also nothing that says cheap like flimsy card stock.

2. Keep it Simple

Don't use too many different fonts or include too much information on the card. Be sure to include all the vital information on the card, such as name, phone number and address, and perhaps a main slogan for your business, but steer clear of listing everything under the sun your business can do. Make sure it's clear by quickly glancing at the card what your company's main focus is.

3. Use a Font Large Enough to Read

Use fonts that are large enough for people of all ages to read. If you're 28 and can read it just fine, let someone who's over 40 read it. If they have difficulty reading the type, make it larger. You don't want to lose any business due to a card that someone has to use reading glasses to read.

4. Use a Larger Font for the Most Important Information

If the desired action is for them to give you a call, highlight the phone number with a larger font. If it's the address, highlight the address. Don't make them have to hunt for the most important information on the card.

5. Include your Website Address and E-mail Address

If you don't have a website address, it's time to get one. People now are used to checking businesses out on the internet. A five-page website won't cost much, but can be the difference between gaining a new client or not.

6. Never Use Cards with Outdated Information

Have you ever received a business card with a phone number crossed out in black marker with another phone number written in ink next to it? All that says is "I'm too cheap to buy new cards." And that implies a business that isn't getting much business.

7. When handing your business card to someone, make sure there's an offer on the back of the card, and hand the card to the person with the backside up so the person will see your offer. This can be 10% off your services, a free consultation, or whatever offer you think is appropriate. Give someone a reason to call you.

Business cards can be one of the most important marketing tools you have. Give it the attention it deserves and you may be richly rewarded.

Online Paid Surveys Pitfalls and Help

2007-04-11T10:42:00.001-07:00

Online paid surveys are nothing new but most people have no inklings of what they are. A little of history here...Market research companies have been paying consumers to be survey takers or panelists for years now. For a fee, a consumer would participate in a paper or face-to-face survey or focus group discussion. In the last decade, with the prominence of internet, this process of data collection was also taken online and made more efficient. But the problem is that since you cannot see the online survey company physically, how do you know if it is legitimate? This difficulty is compounded with the emergence of so many websites offering online paid surveys.

First, there are Tier Two middlemen offering online paid surveys. The term Tier Two means that they are contracted by the survey companies to conduct the surveys. Obviously, this also means the payout for surveys get diluted. Even among these websites, some are misleading honest opportunity seekers how easy it is to make money from participating in free internet paid surveys in their pajamas. The third kind, which is the worst of the lot, would simply ask you for a membership fee and then disappear into thin air after a while, leaving you dry and cleaned out.

The truth is there really are legitimate websites that pay decent fees for completing their online paid surveys. For a simple 5 - 10 minute survey, it is realistic to expect a payment of $5 onwards. Focus groups pay more naturally and bigger companies are willing to offer up to $150. Another fact is that you cannot become rich, and drive sports cars and convertibles, or live in a nice bungalow with a nice swimming pool by doing free internet paid surveys. But to make an extra couple of hundreds to a few thousands is achievable depending on a few factors – the time you put into it and the number of online paid surveys companies you are registered with. Also, earning in your pajamas can happen and is not a bluff.

There are plenty of sites that are willing to sign you up as their registered survey takers or panelists. However, the trouble is you have to really spend hours to days of time to research into these online paid surveys companies. Like what we have seen, some are pure scam sites. If you are new to it, this part of research can be daunting and many times, disappointing and time wasting. But again, this approach is free.

Alternatively, you can always get hold of ready lists or directories from survey sites that sell them. These survey sites are not the market research companies that offer online paid surveys. They essentially scour the internet, attend business discussions, and interview the online survey companies and the survey takers to dig out the best among the lot. So for a fee of less than $40 – 50, you can get started with survey taking and earning some money in no time.

How $2.00 Can Solve Your Marketing Woes

2007-04-10T09:33:00.001-07:00

So...

How do you market to those potential clients that inquire about your services or products?

Is it the typical way?...

1) Receive inquiry for more information or freebie giveaway.

2) Send freebie giveaway or information.

3) Make a follow up call to try and sell your main product or service.

4) Put this inquiry into the "I'll get to it later" pile that you never get to again.

Does your marketing process seem similar to this? Maybe with only slight differences?

Your losing business left and right. And if your excuse is "I can't afford to do it the right way"...

Then the money will run out and you will be out of business, period.

If you actually will see marketing as an investment with a return on that investment after being properly tested...then read on.

In today's business climate, you need "front of mind awareness" to remain competitive. In other words, you have to be the first person or business that a client thinks about when they finally reach the decision to purchase your product or service.

When your marketing process is at an advanced level, you will be the only person on that client's mind when they reach a decision.

So let's take this one step at a time and at least be the first person on the mind...shall we?

Here is the way the process could work for less than $2.00 per client after the initial inquiry:

1) Receive inquiry for more information or freebie giveaway.

2) Send information or giveaway to potential client.

3) Follow up with a phone call to ensure they received the information or giveaway. Perhaps this could lead to a sale. But for those that don't sell...

4) Send letter number 1 asking for their business. In letter number one, offer a compelling bonus or reason for acting on the first letter. For those that don't sell...

5) Send letter number 2 asking for their business about a week from the first letter being received. In letter number two, offer a compelling bonus or reason for acting on this letter. For those that don't sell...

6) Send letter number 3 asking for their business about two weeks from the second letter being received. In letter number three, offer a compelling bonus or reason for acting on this letter. For those that don't sell...

7) Send letter number 4 asking for their business about two weeks from the third letter being received. In letter number four, offer a compelling bonus or reason for acting on this letter. For those that don't sell...

8) Send letter number 5 asking for their business about a week after the fourth is delivered. In letter number five, offer a compelling bonus or reason for acting on the final letter. Use a big close to this letter...with all the benefits and such of the product or service clearly stated and why they need to act now.

9) One final phone call for one last effort with this product or service to offer.

For those that don't sell...don't throw them away. Big mistake. Do you have an alternative, or lesser priced product to sell? Now is the time. But perhaps allow 30 - 60 days and start a mini marketing process for that list.

This is a general, simple, and low-cost process for re - marketing to your inquiries. It takes 5 - 7 contacts before the typical client will consider your offer. Five letters cost about $2.00 to mail, and I guess if you factor in an envelope and the paper, your at $2.25 per inquiry plus phone time. You cannot get much better than that.

Keep the envelope very simple, trying to avoid the "commercial mail" look. The letter is simple, at least use "Dear Friend" as a greeting...but personalizing the letter is even better and will increase response.

The first few sentences of the letter are all you have to capture the attention of your reader. Once they start reading your letter though...you will need to keep "feeding" compelling reasons to continue reading it.

Then, ask for the order with a focused call to action. The more focused and simple you make it for someone to order, the higher your response rate will be.

But you must mail a minimum of 4 letters to make this work for you. Obviously, there are other variables involved...but just using the multiple contact method alone will increase sales.

Consumer Purchase Decision Making Process

2007-04-09T08:26:00.001-07:00

There is more to making a purchase than just making the purchase itself. All consumers go through several decision steps when making any kind of purchase, whether large or small. This chart outlines the state of mind of the consumer from unawareness of the offering all the way down to when consumers become strong advocates for the offering (word of mouth). It also shows how marketing and advertising can significantly influence the decision making process, and what media are appropriate for each stage. UNK/UNKs: Awareness advertising to those "Unkown/Unknowns who do not yet know they have a need.

Need Awareness: Awareness/case making advertising to place advertiser "top of mind", mind share building.

Need Assessment: Benefits oriented advertising to shift need solution toward advertisers offering

Data Collection: Benefits oriented, educational advertising, informational and comparison print collateral such as brochures, fliers, direct mail.

Data Evaluation: Information and comparison print brochures, spec sheets, fliers direct mail.

Decision to Purchase: Sales or price point oriented advertising, direct mail, point-of-purchase, incentive materials and ads.

Actual Purchase: Point of sale materials, posters, Add-on offers, up selling incentives help here.

Buyers Remorse: Awareness advertising again, customer service, follow up, direct mail

Tryers: Direct Mail, awareness advertising, "word of mouth". Educational supportive ads that remind value proposition.

Market And Sell Your Self Published Books Easily

2007-04-07T16:20:00.001-07:00

Whether you've just published a book or have a book that isn't selling, now is the time to start marketing the easy way today! It's one thing to write a book, but an entirely different thing to write one that's saleable, viable, and marketable. Ensuring the success of any book is something even the biggest publishers have never been able to guarantee, but with a good book, a little or a lot of money, and just plain hard work the odds are in your favor; many have done it.

Using press releases for marketing or promoting your book or book's website has become increasingly popular as publishers discover the powerful benefits of using press releases. Invest in press release submitting software and set aside time every week to send out a press release online to the press directories. Mail a press release to all the trade journals in your field over and over again; you can use the same release.

Learning to write and use powerful optimized press releases can often drive tons of traffic to your website while providing multiple back links that can lead to increased page rank and numerous top ten search engine rankings for your targeted keywords. When picked up by wire services, a press release can easily end up generating hundreds of mentions for your book. Send out at least 10 press releases to the print and broadcast media in your area every month.

Send out the same press release to the editor of your local daily newspaper every week until you are called for an interview or are written up. Press releases can easily generate thousands of dollars in sales when picked up by national trade or print media.

Why not give away a copy of your book in a local raffle to get more book recognition? Make sure your sales letter or flier is first class; this is your formal presentation of your title to the prospective buyer. If your book fits a specialty market, find a store that fits the genre and offer to leave books on consignment; many publishers have sold thousands of books this way.

Build a web site that provides another avenue for ordering, a virtual online press kit and link exchanges with sites that relate to your topic. Every day it's important to focus on a variety of marketing approaches. Get as many testimonials about your book, as possible, from experts in the field relating to your title, not customers; use on your fliers and back of books.

Offer to trade writing a monthly column in a trade publication in your books' genre, in trade for display ads on the same page. Find a non-exclusive distributor with a good reputation to carry your book for the book store trade, as well as for other retailers. Arrange to give a simple talk at local, regional and national events that relate to your book topic; bring books along and have an associate sell them at the back of the room.

If your book solves a problem, focus on it in your marketing. Remember to make sure your book is listed in Books-in-Print; don't assume it's already listed. When you get a nice write-up or feature about you and/or your book, have it laminated and set it up on an easel at trade shows.

Your sales letter or flier should include an eye-grabbing headline, the benefits to the buyer, the book features, book sales information and testimonials. Be your own publicist and send a press release along with a review copy of your book to publications in your book's genre and to book review magazines.

It's important to publish a website that focuses on your title; you'll be able to refer editors and customers and all interested parties to your book information with the click of a mouse. Make sure to promote and market your book each and every day, both online and offline.

With well chosen book marketing and book promotion, online and offline, you'll reap the profits you deserve for your efforts by way of the Internet and in your mailbox. Don't delay another day if you've fallen by the wayside; make sure to focus on promoting, selling and marketing your book each and every day. I hope this article has provided you with some easy, helpful tips to accelerate your book marketing and book promotion efforts.

Logo Apparel - More Uses Than You Ever Imagined

2007-04-06T14:50:00.001-07:00

If there's one thing we all have in common, it's that we have to wear clothes every day! Logo apparel is a promotional product that uses this universal need to your advantage. People have to get dressed, so why not encourage them to sport your logo in the process?

When you think of logo apparel, the first thing that probably comes to mind is giving away free t-shirts at trade shows and marketing events. There's no doubt that this is a successful approach. But there are countless other ways to use logo apparel, some you may never have thought of.

Clothing comes in all shapes and sizes, so you're limited only by your imagination. Let's take a look at some unique ways to use logo apparel to promote your company.

Casual Friday

For several years now, "Casual Fridays" have been a popular morale-boosting technique in the workplace. Why not also use Casual Friday as an opportunity to reinforce teamwork and corporate identity with logo apparel? Casual Friday is an ideal time to ask employees to wear promotional logo apparel.

Pairing a logo shirt with a pair of jeans is a win-win situation. Your employees are comfortable and relaxed, and you're utilizing an opportunity to create a feeling of "togetherness" amongst your staff.

Vendors and distributors

When you're ordering and passing out logo apparel, don't forget about vendors and distributors. After all, they're part of the company team, too! The great thing about having vendors and distributors wear your logo is that they come in contact with a variety of companies every day. One of their customers is bound to ask about your company when they see the logo on a shirt or ball cap.

Outdoor events

For outdoor marketing events, promotional ball caps will be a real winner-especially on a hot day! They offer a bit of shade and protect the skin from getting a sunburn. Unlike many other types of promotional products, a ball cap is something the attendees can use that instant. Plus, they'll take them home and wear them again in the future.

The Price Buster 5 Panel Cap is a good choice because it's priced right for buying in bulk. In fact, it's a "buy one, get on free" bargain. It comes in seven colors, and your company logo is screened on the front.

Dressy occasions

As always, you want to have an upscale option for special occasions or particularly valued customers. T-shirts are fun, and polo-style shirts are stylish and right for that business casual look. For dressier occasions, however, a collared, button down shirt is in order.

A great option is the Cotton Twill Button-Down Shirt. It comes in both long and short-sleeve options, so you can select the style that's right for the season. You can even choose a color to appeal to the younger crowd, like khaki or orange.

Button-down shirts are promotional logo apparel that seems anything but promotional. That is, you still get your company name and logo seen, but your customers and employees will appreciate getting a shirt they can incorporate into their everyday wardrobe.

Another benefit to you as that shirt will be worn in professional settings. The upshot? Big-time clients will see you as company that knows how to get serious about business and always puts the best foot forward.

Show Them The Promotions, Boost Your Success

2007-04-04T17:14:00.001-07:00

Trade shows represent an outlet to reach current and potential clients in a direct and active way. The targets come to the show with an active interest in finding both you and your competitors. They come to you to find the best quality products and services. But sometimes they just come to browse the stocks. In either case, history along with general studies have shown that including a promotional product at your trade show booth increases your overall success and ROI. Because, let's face it, when it come to brochures versus logoed goodies, the goodies win the praise and even better, the attention and retention of the target audience.

According to a 2003 Georgia Southern University survey, more than 70 percent of trade show attendees who received a promotional product remember the name of the company that gave them the product. And more than 76 percent of those participants showed a favorable attitude to the company branded to the promotional product. These findings prove that promotional products at trade shows results in greater awareness and a positive perception of the company as a whole. This can generate a more loyal and happy client base as well as new business potential.

Get ahead of your competition by starting your trade show branding with promotional products early. Georgia Southern University conducted another study in 2004 which observed the effects of promotional products as invites to a trade show. The study included all pre-registered trade show participants and gathered attitudes and behaviors. The attendees, divided into three different groups, all received separate invites to the upcoming show. A third of the participants received a post card from a company at the trade show. The second group received a postcard along with a branded magnet of the company. The last group received a postcard with a coupon to redeem a free T-shirt from the company if they visited its exhibit at the show. The study found that 78 percent more attendees responded to the T-shirt offer, while 57 percent more people responded to the magnet more than the postcard alone.

This study shows that getting a head start on trade show branding can ultimately increase traffic and participation at your exhibit, but even more so when you add a promotional product to the invite. This way the target has you in mind before they head to the show and, in turn, make your booth a priority.

Although promotional products generate such a high response and success rate, you need to take into consideration which product to use. Sometimes the typical key chains and pens have little to no effect on the target. Like any other part of a marketing campaign, the product must coincide with the wants and needs of the target audience at the trade show. It must be a product that stands out and makes the clients want to have it and keep it around. Because, in essence, by having and keeping your promotional product, the client chooses to keep you and have you around. For example, instead of using the company stress ball as a premium at a trade show, design a tumbler cup series customized to the specific trade show and your specific booth. This keeps the client excited about not only your premium but you as well. It's also a practical product that tends to get heavy use by more than just the intended target.

By adding a simple, branded gadget to the booth and trade show invite, people tend to return more frequently and also take the company home with them. This generates more word-of-mouth advertising and exposure. It also, as the studies show, creates an overall positive perception of the company and higher interest involvement. So the next time your company plans to attend a trade show, make sure promotional products not only complement your booth, but also appear in the hands of your target before the trade show even starts.

You're A Client? Then Be Afraid – Very Afraid

2007-04-02T10:38:00.001-07:00

Because they are spending your money the wrong way, the advertising industry is shattering all our illusions, one by one the marketing institutions once considered bastions of integrity appear to be falling into a mire of sleaze and mediocrity.

Firstly consider this, has your agency ever once come to you with evidence that the highly expensive advertising campaign you have just concluded has produced sufficient sales to justify the huge investment you have just made?

And they keep on saying "Advertising Works", hmmm well I guess it does, it works very well in removing huge sums of money from you with virtually nothing in return.

Then there is the television industry. The increasingly tacky gimmicks of voyeuristic shows such as Big Brother, the hoodwinking of viewers who try and take part in phone quizzes, and more, has created widespread mistrust.

Please remember that it is your money they're after to fund all these tawdry scams, however your money is slowly becoming debased. TV viewers are quickly becoming bored to tears by the diet of scams, tricks and instantly forgettable programmes. And just to make this a little bit more uncomfortable for you, they are avoiding your advertisements!

Advertising Agencies are making mediocrity their number one business aim. Our once mighty Advertising Agencies are now uninspiring. Merely "One-trick-Ponies", churning out boring predicable 30 Second TV commercials that cannot sell a thing. Increasingly they are produced by twenty somethings who have no idea about the reality of selling your products and, frankly, couldn't care less! All they want is their show reel man, that is the only reality that they want.

However there is one thing that they are very good at, and that is burying the good ideas that could do something for your products, and that is because of the "not invented here" syndrome. And we thought that advertising agencies are a service industry constantly on the look out for new and original ideas for their clients! Not so!

No I do not want to demolish the status quo. However in too many areas of marketing it appears that the only important thing that matters is the making of a fast buck…not the selling of your product.. Just in making a fast buck! Preferably yours!

As I said, be afraid…be very afraid because the feeling among your customers is that we are constantly being ripped off. More importantly is that virtually nobody is delivering what they promise. And the sad thing is…you're the one they blame!

And there is another, far more disturbing element which appears to be getting buried so that nobody really acknowledges that it exists. However your customers are becoming more and more savvy about life and, as a result are becoming more and more disenchanted with the whole ethos of advertising and marketing!
Every day employees and their managers plunder huge amounts of money from the owners of public companies. And, it would seem, nobody gives a dam!

We all hear stories about chief executives pocketing huge remuneration and golden parachutes despite clearly having failed at their job! well that is just the ones we hear about. What about the mammoth City bonuses for workers whose job could be handled by any number of talented individuals?

And that appears to be the way business life is going, you take all the risks and they take advantage. Do you really think that they would behave the same way if their own money were on the line?

Dishonesty is woven into the very fabric of corporate life. Subtle and pervasive and largely unrecognised for what it is. Yes Mr Client, Advertising and Marketing are totally accountable, providing you with expensive expense reports justifying the latest corporate junket, but proving that they have increased sales…nope they are just as dishonest as ever!

Paul Ashby pioneered interactive communication to the advertising and marketing communities some twenty-five years ago. The communication issues he addresses have been neglected during the explosive grown of advertising in the 60s, 70s and 80s, these are Cognitive Dissonance, Selective Retention and Selective Exposure.

Networking Tips from the Networker's Networker

2007-03-30T14:46:00.001-07:00

One of the best compliments related to networking that I ever received was when a highly respected chief executive introduced me to speak as "The Networkers' Networker." Networking is a very powerful marketing tool and one that can be very positive and valuable if done properly and very costly if done improperly or not at all. In thinking about what tips to share with you, I decided to think back over my own personal experiences and what has worked well for me and my
clients. What I have developed is called my MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Networking Tips. Here they are.

MVP NETWORKING TIPS

1. Always develop a plan that has a strategy and clear goals.

2. Always carry plenty of business cards with you at all times.

3. Prepare and practice a great 10 second introduction.

4. Prepare and practice a 30 second advertisement as a follow-up to your introduction. Brand yourself!

5. Be yourself and be genuine. And always remember your manners.

6. Ask "Who do you know?"

7. Listen and hear what people are saying to you. Engage in quality conversations. Take notes on the back of business cards you receive.

8. Always offer something first to help others when networking. Then take something second to help you or your clients.

9. Build relationships and find ways to connect your contacts with your network.

10. Follow up! Keep in touch by calling, emailing, writing, etc. And send handwritten notes and thank yous to really stand out and differentiate yourself from others.

Do you believe you could be a more effective networker? Do you believe you could benefit by using the MVP networking tips?

Your Business Marketing Solution - Generate Free Leads

2007-03-29T12:47:00.001-07:00

What makes a business system so powerful is it's ability to be easily duplicated.

It's probably been written a thousand times before, but McDonald's, despite your love or dislike for their food, is recognised throughout the business world for their powerful business marketing system.

How else would a company like McDonald's (which is predominantly operated by 16 year olds and for which also owns a phenomenal amount of retail real estate across the globe) become to be as successful as McDonald's has become, if it did not have an almost perfectly synchronised business system. Well, the simple answer is, without it's system, it would not have lasted at all.

Companies like McDonald's realise that "companies come and go" – and they also realise that they have their fair share of competition as far as its product base is concerned.

However, where McDonald's has somewhat of an advantage over many (if not most) fast food chains lies in the company's precision and overall concentration on continually developing its business system – therefore making duplication even easier. This of course creates more production, profits and importantly - better ways to develop.

For many network marketers their businesses often run into trouble when they are operating a business or program that is simply too difficult for the majority of their prospects to duplicate – this often causes attrition and ultimately a decline in sales and overall progress.

A common problem is the lack of training and support provided by the company, which often leaves its members feeling slightly despondent and unenthusiastic.

Another major problem is that many folk struggle to keep up with the running costs of operating a business. This leads to many losing or running out of money as the overall sales profits merely meet the cost of running the business. A lot of people often go broke and quit as result.

In order to curb this problem, one of the best business operating systems that can be applied to a network marketers primary program… is a funded proposal.

A funded proposal is a low cost entry opportunity that creates a regular supply of leads and ultimately a regular short term income stream to help cover the operation costs such as advertising.

It's not particularly important to derive a hearty profit through the front end with these low cost entry sales but to at least bring your business's "incoming/out going" costs to a break-even point.

From here it is simply a matter of offering your prospect, or customer, additional products for which will add value to his or her initial purchase. Obviously profits made from the overall sale… you get to keep, because all running costs (advertising etc) were covered in the prospects original purchase.

It's easy to see why McDonald's accompany nearly all their burgers with fries and a soft drink. It's also not difficult to see how by using a funded proposal system the business operator is ultimately providing him or herself with a residual and reliable income stream – not to mention a regular supply of prospects.

Does It Pay To Take Online Surveys?

2007-03-27T08:39:00.001-07:00

There are alot of ways to make money online. Taking surveys is one of them. Beware in how you approach this, it can make the difference between making money, breaking even or just plain losing money.

First off, let's talk about the different online survey database companies that exist all over the internet. These guys will just give you access to different paid survey sites, giving you their adresses, sometimes reviews and some information regarding the sites. If you have some money to waste or don't want to waste anytime, this is good way to get to where you want to fast. If, on the other hand, you don't have that much money to invest, and don't mind working a little harder. Any search engine will do fine to find all of these paid surveys sites.

If you want to take surveys for a company, they won't charge you to enter their group. You should never have to pay to be member of a survey company's focus group. This should therefore not be a factor for you.

What should be a factor, is the type of rewards you will get. Some companies will enter you into sweepstakes, others will give you points that will later be redeemed as money and finally some will just pay in cold hard cash.

Another important thing to pay attention too, before becoming a member, is you geographical position. Canadian and American members will most likely get more surveys than others. If you live in a remote area, you will most probably not make alot of income from this.

So finally, how much will you make? Well it depends. It depends on how much work you put in, how many surveys you take and if you really want it. If you aren't that motivated you won't get squat because you will most probably quit after a short period of time. So the keys to online survey money making: Motivation and where you live!

Take a Bow Stephon Marbury - Boo Michael Jordan

2007-03-25T13:49:00.001-07:00

When I watched John Stossell's show on the comparison between Michael Jordan's Air Jordan sneaker line and Stephon Marbury's Starbury line, I quickly realized that greed in America is becoming more and more the rule rather than the exception. To wit, the shoe experts cut open the two brands of sneakers and found that there were no essential differences—only price. That Marbury can sell his shoes for $15 while Jordan sells his for up to $175-200 per pair only shows that marketing hype is big business and that some people are just never satisfied in ripping off the public.

The show piqued me in particular because both of my sons are big fans of Jordan's sneakers and avid collectors. Both my boys work and buy most of their pairs but I can honestly say that I would rather see them putting that money away for other things. But you try and convince them of that. Personally, I like the sneakers and think they are quite handsome in their design; however, $150 and better a pair, when they probably could be sold at a fraction of the cost! How much money do some profiteers have to make? And when you think of the poor kids in the ghetto who are pressuring their parents into buying them a pair, you see the injustice in all this.

Moreover, this topic tends to further divide the social classes by highlighting the differences between the "haves" and "have-nots." For the kids living in suburban America, whose fathers earn six and seven-figure incomes, a twenty- to thirty-thousand dollar yearly clothes budget, including a substantial allowance for Air Jordan sneakers does not amount to a hill of beans. But for the kid whose parents live on thirty thousand dollars a year or less, a purchase of such sneakers could be a back-breaker.

Now I don't want to hear the part about, "Well, this has been the case throughout history and if poor people want more than they should work harder or strive more to get their desires." You and I both know that the situation is a lot more complicated than that. The point of this article is that life is challenging enough, particularly in the new millenium. Raising kids today (see some of my other articles on these topics) is going to be one of the hardest things a new parent will do (not that raising kids was ever easy). But given the paradigm shifts in economies, social mores, respect issues among teens, and the like, having marketers, like those pushing the Air Jordan sneakers, lurking about certainly will not make things any easier. (And by the way, these marketers know exactly what they're doing. If you thought they didn't then you really need to think again.)

Because Marbury came from a background in which he could not always get the sneakers he wanted, he is showing great compassion and understanding in creating this line of shoes. Moreover, he stands to make a handsome profit at it should this line really take off. He is doing a great service to kids and parents alike, particularly the ones who aren't swimming in Benjamin-imprinted C-notes. Now this is something we can all live with. That's why I say, take a bow Stephon Marbury and boo Michael Jordan.

Financial Rebirth Through Remortgage

2007-03-21T18:34:00.000-07:00

Seldom in 1s life make we get a opportunity to change the errors we made in the past. Remortgage offers a once in a life clip chance to change from a mortgage to another that is more than desirable.

So what are the errors that
Remortgage will assist cure? With the interest rates falling, mortgages taken old age ago volition look to be excessively charged. Mortgagors vie for the new rates of interest by taking the new mortgage.

But there is small warrant that the rate of interest will be changeless at this point or will not fall beyond this level. So, mortgagees always have got a range of business by helping people transfer their original mortgage. Thus, remortgages benefit both the borrower and the mortgage provider.

Remortgages are also taken for grounds other than improving interest rate. Many a modern times people choose for remortgage only to widen the term of repayment. This is more than seeable in lawsuit of interest only mortgages. Interest only mortgages, as we know, necessitate monthly payment of interest on the mortgage and a full and concluding payment at the end of the term of repayment.

Refinancing the former mortgage will prorogue the repayment of the mortgage. The new mortgage will have got a new term of repayment. The new mortgage deal pays off the former deal. The borrower could have got been at hazard of losing his home had he been required to do a on clip repayment at that point of time. Borrowers get clip to program the repayment of the new mortgage deal.

However, we must not disregard the other side of the picture. The borrower is burdened with the debt for an drawn-out period. More is the clip involved in the mortgage, more than than is the interest cost.

Specialized mortgages have got a limited benefit period, after which they go more of a burden. First clip buyer mortgages for instance, offer discounted rates in the initial few years. After that the first clip buyers will have got to pay according to the rates prevailing in the mortgage market. By refinancing the first clip buyer mortgage, borrowers can get away the high interest rates or unfavourable terms.

Full points to you if you guessed that remortgages work as a debt consolidation tool. In fact these are regularly used in order to settle down debts a.k.a mortgages. Remortgage offers a new mortgage through a new lender who holds to settle down all debts through a concerted mortgage deal. This may be advantageous for the borrowers since nest egg generally ensue in the deal. The full value of the mortgage remaining along with the interest is paid as an early repayment. The nest egg are the consequence of the dialogue process. The more than than skilled is a individual in the dialogue skills, the more volition the nest egg be.

However, some lenders explicitly forbid a remortgage by incorporating a clause to the consequence in the terms and conditions. Some mortgagees may freeze the right to remortgage for a certain clip period. For case cash back mortgages where the borrower gets cash at the beginning of the mortgage forbid outright the right to remortgage for a period. The time period may differ with the lenders. This may severely hinder the borrowers’ freedom to change to a new deal. It will thus be of import to closely look for such as clauses when sign language on the dotted line. Having agreed to the terms once there is no looking back again. May be there is no second opportunity for a remortgage.

Finding The Cheapest Loans

2007-03-20T18:29:00.000-07:00

If there’s one thing it’s always worth doing, it’s shopping around for best deal. This is generally true for all purchases you’re going to make, but one place it’s more important than most is with loans. Many people don’t think about it too much, but loans are for many people, the single biggest financial transactions they’ll make in their lives.

All the major purchases you’ll make will involve credit of some sort. If you’re buying a house you’ll be searching for a mortgage. If you’re buying a new car it’ll be auto finance. When you travel you’ll likely need a credit card if you don’t already have one. Remodelling your home, paying for college, for almost everyone, they involve a significant amount of credit.

Shop Around

So it’s worth shopping around. If we spend a day or more looking for a good deal on a pair of jeans, why should we accept the first credit offer we receive? Loan rates and terms can vary enormously from lender to lender. All of them offer many different rates at the same time depending on the promotion you’re applying under. They will also be setting the rate according to your credit rating. The important thing to remember is that credit is a very flexible market and pretty much all lenders will be willing to negotiate rates and terms with you.

You’ve Got To Haggle

For example, if a rate seems too high to you, simply tell them that, and ask if there’s a better rate available. Often their first offer is not the lowest they’re willing to lend at. Another thing you can do is offer security for the loan. If you own you’re home and are confident in your ability to repay the loan, maybe ask what the rate would be if it was secured over your home. You’d be surprised at the difference in rate you’ll get simply for offering security.

Mortgages

If it’s a mortgage you’re negotiating, ask for both the variable and fixed rate. Typically the variable mortgage will be a good 0.2% to 0.5% cheaper. This is because you will be bearing the risk of an increase in interest rates. Auto finance is one of the most varying areas in the market. You’re dealer might be offering you what seems like a good credit rate, but often if you agree to pay cash, the price of the car becomes cheaper, which means the loan is actually more expensive than it appears. If this is the case, try and get the finance from another lender and get the dealer’s cash price for the car.

One other way of making a loan cheaper is by dropping optional extras such as loan repayment insurance. This is often offered when you take out a loan and can make a big difference to the cost of the loan.

Giving Finances a Breather Through Loans for Unemployed

2007-03-14T21:44:00.000-07:00

Martin graduated of the college with dreamings of a highflying career. However, the subsequent unemployment set a check on his dreams. It have now go a matter of making the ends ran into because of the assorted debts mounting up on his account and the unemployment allowance falling deficient of meeting even the basic needs.

Almost every unemployed individual confronts a state of affairs similar to the above until they are exposed to loans for unemployed. Loans for unemployed present assorted options before unemployed people to enable them to purchase the assorted necessities along with a lump sum of money payment for repayment of debts, buying holidays, and for buying cars.

Stable financial income is a requirement for the normal loans. Going by this logic, an unemployed individual would have got never qualified for a normal loan because of an absence of any beginning of income. However, since unemployment is not a rare incident and because the unemployed people cannot be left to fend for themselves (humanitarian grounds), loan suppliers have got designed a few criteria that volition do the unemployed people eligible for financial assistance.

Being a homeowner minimises most of the hazard emanating out of unemployment. The loan supplier cognizes that in the event of the borrower not repaying the loan in full, it can utilise the home to retrieve the amount unpaid. The minor grade of hazard is reflected in a lower rate of interest and more than than flexible terms.

The home kept as collateral, have more of a nominal rather than a tangible function in the Loans for unemployed. The loan supplier throws the right of ownership to the house rather than the house itself. Thus, the borrower goes on living in the home while the home goes on backing the loan.

To be more than concise, the loan for unemployed is taken against the equity in the home. This is the value, in terms of money, that a house will bring if sold in the market. As a loan is taken, the equity in the home depletes. The equity is gradually replenished with monthly or quarterly repayments.

The method that a borrower takes to profit from the loan for unemployed additional classes them into two. These are Home Equity Loan and a Home Equity Line of Credit better known as a HELOC. Under a home equity loan, a borrower pulls the full amount at one count. This is particularly when the borrower have ample disbursals to make. Debt consolidation is the most popular usage to which the home equity loan is set to. The small unemployment grant from the authorities is not able to prolong the borrower’s disbursals during the term of unemployment, and a hill of debts gets collected during the period. Cheap finance through home equity loans will show an easier method to refund such as debts. Another of import usages that a home equity loan is employed to are buying a car, paying the measures incurred while vacationing, and using it for home improvements, that in bend adds up to the equity in the home and thus open ups newer chances for getting loans.

A home equity loan however, will not lawsuit the cases where the time period of unemployment is predicted to last long. Having used up the full equity in home, the borrower will be left with nil to pay for his necessities during the subsequent period. In this case, a home equity line of credit will be more than suitable. HELOC supplies aid to the borrower as and when the needs arise. Since the balance of the HELOC changes regularly with the repayments and withdrawals, the borrower is charged on the loan amount drawn rather than the full loan sanctioned. The interest in HELOC is charged on the footing of the criterion variable rate. This turns out disadvantageous for borrowers at modern times when there is an upward surge in the interest rate. The interest rates rise and addition the repayments in turn. A novel method of escaping the high interest rates will be by requesting for a guaranteed introductory rate.

The financial options for unemployed people without sufficient collateral are no less. A perfect credit report will play an of import function in their lawsuit by inspiring assurance among the loan suppliers regarding the borrower’s capableness to refund loans for unemployed. Interest rates will certainly be different because of the absence of collateral. Like the unsecured loans, unsecured loans for unemployed carry a higher rate of interest.

Loans for unemployed show that the unemployed people make not have got to subsist solely on a meagre grant from the government. Numerous deals from a battalion of loan suppliers are waiting for the unemployed people to use loans for unemployed to disburse their expenses.

Christmas Loans - Background to a Financially Sound New Year

2007-03-10T19:47:00.000-08:00

While Christmas recedes into oblivion in a day or two, the expenses you made during the period are not going to leave you so easily. The breadwinner is familiar with this, and Christmas festivities appear bland to him. With Christmas loans, individuals no longer need to waste off their Christmas brooding over ways to counter the expenses incurred during this period. Christmas expenses are much more easier to pay through Christmas loans than through any other method.

Some of us will counteract this statement with loads of praises for credit cards and similar other methods that have cropped in the recent years. However, for their attention it needs to be stated that a credit card can further increase their festive budget. This is because the interest rates that are charged on credit cards are higher than personal loans by many times. Thus, credit cards are not considered a cheaper method of disbursement of expenses, in spite of the convenience that credit cards provide.

Christmas loan is how a personal loan is used for the desired purpose. Therefore, any loan that is taken for disbursement of expenses can be termed as Christmas loans. There is no rule to bind the borrowers to use the loan proceeds particularly for Christmas festivities. If the borrower is able to save a part of the loan, then he can conveniently use the loan for other purposes.

The borrower enters into a contract with the loan provider for the repayment of loan within a fixed term of repayment. This suits the borrower because paying in instalments will be more conducive to their pockets. Had they been required to disburse each and every expense immediately, by the time Christmas is over they would have little left.

The Christmas loan is required to be amortised within the said period through several small monthly instalments. Though there are other methods too that are available to borrowers, this method of repayment is the most preferred. Through monthly instalments (calculated by dividing Christmas loan and interest into equal parts to be paid over the term of repayment), the loan balance is gradually minimised without leaving a lump-sum amount to be repaid at the end of the term.

When looking for a Christmas loan to finance Christmas expenses, one must search for a loan at the lowest rate of interest. It is often seen that loan providers refer to the rates of interest that they are providing as the lowest. However, the rate of interest differs with every new lender contacted. The actual rates of interest will be much different when the loan quote is presented with the actual loan details. When searching for Christmas loan, borrowers need to keep in mind that interest rate is a dynamic factor. This is dependant on several factors and thus can be dissimilar because of dissimilar circumstances of different borrowers. So, the best method of finding which interest do one qualify for will be to request a loan quote from a set of loan providers and choosing the one that appears the best.

Borrowers however must not focus primarily on the interest rate during the search for Christmas loans. Many loan providers would keep the interest rate low and compensate it with several hidden charges that inflate the cost of Christmas loans. Therefore, borrowers need to read the terms and conditions carefully to eliminate such hidden costs.

The time of employing the Christmas loan into payment of festivities also needs to be decided well in advance. If you have decided to first spend and then take a Christmas loan according to the amount of debts, then it will be best if you apply beforehand for a sum that you think will be the minimum required amount.

However, one must take mortgage protection as a acrimonious pill which will be helpful in crisis states of affairs like death, illnesses, and unemployment. Lenders get the feeling that the borrower is more than concerned about the repayment of the mortgage.

Many a modern times there are disagreements in the credit report. It is necessary to apply for a rectification in the credit report as many lenders may unfit at the very sight of a bad credit.

Before planning to not pay the adjacent installment on the bad credit mortgage, the borrowers must maintain this in mind. There is not always a second opportunity available. While lenders had religion on you in offering mortgages this time, they would not have got it the adjacent time. So, it is better to be regular in making payments to the mortgages. This volition also assist in an improvement in the credit history.

2006-12-06T18:20:00.000-08:00

A home equity loan can be a very utile financial tool in the custody of the borrower, particularly if the avenue where the borrower would put the loan amount would otherwise have got got to be financed at higher lending rates.

Thus the borrower can get access to cheaper loans, which can be used to finance secondary demands like purchasing a car or modifying/renovating his/her existent home, repaying existing debt, medical costs, etc.

Tax deductions: The interest collectible on the secured equity loan is deductible up to a upper limit of $100,000 or the equity value in your home, whichever is less. Thus besides access to lower rates of interest, the equity loan also gives the borrower tax benefits.

Getting The Best Home Equity Loan

Owing to the popularity of home equity loans, there are numerous lending agencies offering a assortment of mortgage products. A bad pick of mortgage can lead to black effects, as there is a hazard involved of foreclosure and losing one's home. Hence it goes necessary to secure the best loan possible.

Simple stairway to stomach that you choose the best home equity loan:

Find out your credit score and credit rating: Each individual can get a credit evaluation based on his/her financial standing and other factors like outstanding debt, equity of the existent home, credit history, etc. Type A higher credit evaluation and credit score would intend lesser hazard involved in lending to such as a individual and hence the home loan borrower can negociate for a better rate of interest on the mortgage. There are a number of credit evaluation agencies, which cipher credit scores for a fee.

Evaluate the alternatives: Even though a home equity loan may look like the best bet, it is better to measure other merchandises like home equity lines, contrary mortgages, etc. For example, for people over age 60, it would be advisable to see a contrary mortgage rather than a second mortgage on the existent home, as this could lead to foreclosure and could render one homeless.

Read the mulct print: Many consumers have got establish out the hard manner that the mulct black and white in the terms of the home loans or mortgage makes matter! Terms pertaining to payment agendas and foreclosure statuses should be given particular consideration. Other fees and prepayment clauses should be evaluated for the full term of the loan.

There may be other issues like the inclusion of life insurance in the loan amount, which may effectively increase the cost of borrowing and may be unnecessary. Only after owed diligence on such as legal and financial issues have been done should the consumer mark the necessary papers.

Is an ARM Right For You?

2006-12-03T07:06:00.000-08:00

Let’s start by taking a look at 7 key elements of an adjustable rate mortgage:

1) ARM defined: While a fixed rate loan is constant and never changes throughout the life of the loan, an adjustable rate mortgage changes periodically. The interest rate of an ARM goes up and down based on whatever external index it is tied to. Add the lender’s “margin” to that, and you’ve got the rate. Add costs to that, and you’ve got the APR.

Other considerations include the fixed period, the adjustment date, and the adjustment interval. There are built in risk management devices such as caps, conversion clauses, rate ceilings, rate floors, periodic payment caps, and periodic rate caps.

So, while fixed rate loans stay constant and are fairly straightforward, future payments on ARMS is an unknown, and they go up and down depending on a variety of variables.

2) Index: An adjustable rate mortgage is tied to an external index. If you look in the financial section of the paper today, you might see a chart posted for the 1 year constant maturity treasury index, also called the CMT, otherwise known as the 1-year “T-bills”. You might see a graph, showing the T-Bills rising and falling in value over time.

About 50% of all ARM loans are tied to the 1 year T-Bills. If this is the index used on your loan, then your house payment will rise and fall alongside the T-Bill index (basically).

This is just one example of an index used for ARMs. There are indeed several, and some are more volatile than others. The point is that if that index goes up, the ARM can go up. If that index goes down, the ARM can go down.

3) Margin: Lenders’ add a specific percentage to the index. This is called “margin”. Put another way, the adjustable rate equals the interest rate tied to the index plus the lenders’ margin. For example, if the T-bills are going for 1.5%, and the margin is 2.5%, then the ARM interest rate is basically 4%.

What’s important to know is that different lenders charge different margin, and margin is different from one index to the next. So, just because the margin is cheaper on an ARM tied to T-bills, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best deal. What if the interest rate on a different index, say the LIBOR, is lower? Maybe the margin is higher? Keep your eyes open, and compare the combination of both margin and index, when looking to compare ARMs.

4) Fixed Period: The terms of the loan typically begins with a fixed period of anywhere from 1 month to 5 years or more, where the rate is not adjusted and stays constant (like a fixed rate loan). A 1 month ARM, for example, has a starting fixed period of 1 month, whereas a 1 year ARM has a starting fixed period of 1 year.

5) Adjustment Interval: After the fixed period has elapsed, then there will be an adjustment date in which the rate is modified to conform to the index within the terms of the loan. This interval is typically 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, but a wide variety of intervals exists.

In other words, you start with a fixed period and the rate is fixed. Then you get to the adjustment date, and the rate goes up or down depending on the index and the terms of the loan. Then you go into the adjustment period, let’s say the interval is 1 year, so for 1 year the rate stays the same. Then you get to the next adjustment date, and the whole process repeats itself.

6) Caps: There are built in devices to the ARM that helps manage the risk. For example, most loans incorporate an interest rate ceiling into their terms. The interest rate charged can never exceed the agreed upon ceiling. There is also usually a corresponding interest rate floor (the rate can never drop below this). There is usually a periodic rate cap, that limits the amount the rate can go up or down (during the adjustment period), irrespective of the index. There may be more in the terms of your loan worth exploring, but the important point here is that Caps help control risk. They make the ARM manageable.

7) Conversion Clause: What if 5 years go by, and the rates are still low, and now you’re fairly certain you’ll be living in your home for the next 10 years. In this instance, it might be wise to switch over from an ARM to a fixed rate. Many loans contain a conversion clause allowing you to convert the loan to a fixed rate mortgage. There is sometimes a fee associated with this provision. Also, the terms of the conversion clause may require a period of time to elapse before it becomes available.

So, is an ARM is right for you?

Of course, that’s a question that only you can decide. However, here a few possibilities:

1. Buying Power: - Adjustable Rate Mortgages, in the right market, can allow buyers to purchase higher valued homes with a lower, initial, monthly payment.

2. Short Term Home Ownership: - The average home owner lives in one residence 7 to 8 years (not 30 years). Do you know how long you’ll be there? If you have confidence that you’re only there for the short term, then an ARM could save you money.

3. Risk versus Reward: - What is your level of comfort with risk and how prepared are you to adjust your finances accordingly? If rates stay steady or decline over the long term, an ARM could offer you the greatest possible savings.

Needless to say, a word of caution is appropriate here. Let’s not forget the tried and true warhorse of the fixed rate loan. Fixed rate offers the least amount of risk to the borrower over the long term. There are many unknowns, many variables, and many terms and conditions that need to be considered when looking into an ARM.

The best place to start is always to evaluate fixed rate loans, as a benchmark, and then branch out your options from there. Know the current rates and get a feel for the “trend”. Compare several loan offers before signing on the bottom line, and explore all the variables that go into these loans, including the 7 mentioned in this article. Talk to 3 or 4 lenders during this process, to see who you like doing business with. Above all, don’t just fixate on the monthly payment. Shop rate, and review the terms of the loan offers.

We provide a free rate-watch at our website, along with a directory of lenders and resources, or you can go to any search engine on the internet and find other useful sites and tools out there.

We’ve enjoyed providing this information to you, and we wish you the best of luck in your pursuits. Remember to always seek out good advice from those you trust, and never turn your back on your own common sense.

Home Loans: Where Do I Begin?

2006-11-28T22:03:00.000-08:00

So you've finally decided you've had enough of paying rent and desire to leap into home ownership. Well you've got your work cut out for you. Plumbing problems are now your responsibility, not your landlord's. A nice, clean pace is also your responsibility, not your landlord's. The air-conditioning travels out in August, who make you call. Not the landlord, you're now responsible. Yep - a batch of work.

But none of that matters if you can't get into the house in the first place. Unless you just won the lottery or your dead Uncle Fred left you a small fortune, you will have got to take out a loan to get your dreaming home. But where make you start. It's more complicated than going to the bank and asking for a loan. There's 100% funding loans for those with no down payment. Government loans for those who qualify. Conventional loans where you, as the buyer have to come up up with a significant down payment. And that's just the beginning. So let's take a quick expression at what is out there to assist you get started on the most of import financial purchase you will ever make.

A conventional loans is the type of home loans most people believe of when they believe of borrowing money. The conventional loan necessitates good credit and at least a 3% down feather payment. That's at least $3,000 down, WITH good credit, on a $100,000 home. And how many of us out there have got a completely make clean credit report? If you've ever been late on a car payment or a credit card payment, or even if you've been late returning a movie, this may not be the sort of loan for you. Anything can demo up on your credit report and maintain you from getting a conventional loan. But you have got options.

Two of the more than popular option home loan programs are 100% funding and authorities loans. One-hundred-percent financing loans are available through the VA, Federal Housing Administration and conventional means. But if you seek to get a 100% funding loan through conventional means, your credit report had better be so spotless that it's opaque. Not an option for most people.

The Veteran's Administration and the Federal Soldier Housing Authority both offer 100% funding loans - which intends you don't have got to come up up with a down payment. But you will pay a price. Both the Virginia and the Federal Housing Administration see 100% funding loans high hazard and offset that hazard with a higher interest rate.

But that's just the beginning. You have got numerous options available to you if you set in the work to really research home loans. In improver to conventional, Virginia and Federal Housing Administration loans, there is a whole host of other options available depending on where you fall on the perfect-to-lousy sliding credit scale. Following are just a few:

A no income confirmation loan allows those with good credit but no verifiable income or assets to get out of their flat and into a home. Imperfect credit loans allow borrowers with less-than-perfect credit to measure up competitory interest rates to purchase a home. This sort of loan can also be used to consolidate debt, lower payments or do home improvements. Pre-approval programs allow you to measure how much house you can afford, as well as get you the information and conditional approval you will need to purchase a house, even before you have got a property picked. First clip homebuyer programs are popular because they allow consumers with good credit, but not a long credit history or a batch of money to set down, to get into a home.

New building loans allow the buyer to get a fixed interest rate while the home is being built and to maintain that loan after they travel in, even if the interest rates have got changed. But beware; this is an advantage if the interest rates travel down. But if you lock in a certain rate and the interest rates travel down during construction, you will still be paying the interest rate you locked in.

So as you can see, you have got your work cut out for you. Don't leap into the first deal you come up across. "Research, research, research" should be you slogan on this new endeavor. Find out every type of loan that you measure up for and make up one's mind which is better for your situation. But remember, you can't wait for the care adult male to come up hole your lavatory anymore. Go bargain a plunger. The lavatory is now your responsibility. After all, it's your house. Good Luck!

Exploring All of Your Loan Options

2006-11-26T22:49:00.000-08:00

When you've decided that you need to get a loan, you might be wondering exactly what type of loan you should get. In general, most people find themselves limited to only a few loan options because that's all that they've ever known… there are a variety of options available depending upon your needs, however.

To help you in exploring all of your options when searching for a loan, below you'll find basic information on several common types of loans that you might find when shopping around for a loan.

Secured loans

Secured loans are those loans which have collateral providing a guarantee that the loan will be repaid even if the borrower is unable to make their payments. The object used as collateral can vary greatly depending upon the purpose of the loan and the value of the collateral… common types of collateral include real estate deeds, automotive titles, home equity, and even jewellery and antiques.

Unsecured loans

Unlike secured loans, unsecured loans do not have any collateral serving as a guarantee of repayment. These loans tend to have a higher interest rate than secured loans, but since there is no collateral securing the loan you don't have to worry about the bank or lender repossessing your collateral if you are unable to make your scheduled payments.

Auto loans

Automotive loans are a type of secured loan that is used to purchase new and used cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Unlike some other types of secured loans, the purchased item in an auto loan (the vehicle) serves as its own collateral to guarantee the loan.

The bank or auto loan lender gains a lien, or legal claim on the automotive title, to the vehicle until the loan has been repaid; once the loan has been paid in full, the lien on the title is legally released and the borrower completely owns the vehicle.

Mortgage loans

Much like an automotive loan, mortgage loans allow the purchased item to serve as collateral for the loan itself. In the case of mortgage loans, the purchased item is a house or other piece of real estate… because of this, most mortgage loans have a loan term of 10, 20, or even 30 or more years.

Mortgage loans are usually subject to a variety of fees at the closing of the deal, which are known as closing costs, and may also require that insurance be kept on the real estate until the loan has been completely repaid.

Home improvement loans

Home improvement loans are those loans that are granted with the express purpose of financing repairs, improvements, and expansions on real estate. The equity in the home or real estate often serves as collateral for the loan, and the improvements that are made tend to increase the value of the property in the end. Depending upon the lender, home improvement loans can either be loans for a specific amount or a credit line with a limit of that amount.

Homeowner loans

Homeowner loans are somewhat like home improvement loans in that they use home equity as collateral, but the subject of the loan is much more open. Instead of using the money from the loan to repair or improve specific real estate, homeowner loans can be used to consolidate personal or business debt, purchase a vehicle, or other purposes.

Because of the ease of working with home equity, homeowner loans usually have lower interest rates and more flexible loan terms than some other secured loans.

Mortgage Prepayment Penalties - Just Say No

2006-11-22T20:44:00.000-08:00

One of the most common terms establish in a new home loan is a prepayment penalty. This type of punishment states that if the borrower pays off the loan early, commonly during the first five old age of the loan, then the borrower will be responsible for paying an further amount of money, typically about six calendar months interest on 80% of the mortgage balance. Sub-prime market loans will typically carry prepayment punishments more than standard mortgage loans.

You may be after on keeping the house for the full continuance of the prepayment penalty, and be tempted not to worry about it much. But sometimes life fortune change, so it's wise to avoid any type of prepayment punishment if you can. A typical prepayment punishment might be five calendar months worth of monthly loan payments, so it's worth checking on. Of course, you should always inquire (before you sign) if a new loan have a prepayment penalty. In fact, inquire the lending officer to point out to you in the written document where a prepayment punishment is discussed.

Most points in a loan are subject to negotiation. If you haven't signed loan document yet, and you happen that your loan have a prepayment penalty, you might offer to pay an further shutting point or so to see if it can be removed. The cardinal at this stage is that if you hold to the prepayment penalty, you should seek to happen ways to reduce either the amount, the term, or both as much as possible.

If you already have got a loan, you are jump by the terms of the document, unless you can negociate them. There are perfectly legitimate grounds why you may desire to pay off a short letter early - most often, owed either to refinancing or merchandising the house. You may be able to reach your lender to see if they will relinquish the prepayment punishment if they are able to supply refinancing. If interest rates have got dropped a lot, and you can't get out of the prepayment penalty, it may be deserving peal that amount into a new loan. And of course, seek to get the new loan without a prepayment penalty.

Mortgage Info You Can Actually Understand!

2006-11-19T19:32:00.000-08:00

This is a great clip to Refinance Your Home or Buy a New Home -- the Mortgage Rates are so low, these days! It's always deserving a shot to happen out what the costs of switching over to a new mortgage would be, to see if that's the right move for you.

Whether you are building your ain house, buying a new property, assemblage finances to make a redevelopment project, or Refinancing your current Mortgage at a much Lower Rate, you’ll be looking for Support -- Money, Money & More Money! Here are some commonly asked inquiries regarding support for a Mortgage or a Home Improvement Loan.

Where should I travel first to get a Mortgage?

You can travel to the Loans Department of your regular bank, or you can travel directly to a Mortgage Broker. (Click on the Mortgage Company Ads on www.buildyourownhouse.ca to see if that's the easiest manner for you to get the money you need... At the very least, it'll state you how much you're qualified for, and the on-line Lenders have got got Rates the Banks have a hard clip competing with. It's all about Economy Money, so check into it all, first -- it's a large financial decision! You can always take your information you've gotten On-line to the Bank -- if they can't or won't fit it, there's your determination right there! ha,ha!).

Keep in head that it is generally easier to work with a Broker, since they have got the ability to be a batch more flexible than a conventional bank. Also, their rates will often be considerably lower than what the banks are offering, too, so shop around – this could salvage you a just spot of money. Brokers can often get a mortgage for clients that a bank won’t even touch, and they’ll make it at your convenience, for the most part, so you can have got a more than relaxed meeting with them.

What inquiries will a Broker inquire person who’s looking for a Mortgage?

There are three chief things you will be required to provide:

i.Verification of Income

ii.How much and where the Down Payment is coming from

iii.Personal information for Credit Checks (Birthday, Sociable Security Number, Address, Occupation Letters, Wage Stubs, 3 old age worth of Tax Returns, 3 calendar months worth of Bank Statements, any current Retirement Savings Funds…)

Your Banker or Broker will desire to confirm your ability to measure up by doing a gadoliniums Ratio (Gross Debt Ratio) and a TDS Ratio (Total Debt Ratio).

A Gross Debt Ratio is determined by taking the Mortgage Payment, the Property Taxes, and a Heat Component (really hot countries will be exempt from this, I’m guessing!), which is usually around $50.00. These numbers are added together. That number is multiplied by 12, then divided by your Gross Income Amount. This number can’t transcend 32% of your Gross Income. Some banks &/or brokers may have got got different criteria, but this is a commonly used method to see if a client can measure up for a mortgage.

The Entire Debt Ratio takes the above information (the gadoliniums Ratio) along with all other debts and payments (whatever else you have to pay per calendar month – credit cards, support payments, etc.) to do certain that the Thousand Sum of all of your payments, including the new mortgage and taxes, won’t transcend 40% of your Gross Income.

N.B. Don’t get too hung up on the mathematics – that’s the occupation of the banker or broker. This is just info to give you a good apprehension of how they get their numbers.

What if person have a occupation that is technically referred to as “Part-time”, but they do a “Full-time” wage. Can they measure up for a Mortgage?

You can apply through a Mortgage Broker (probably your best bet) to see how much your Gross Income will allow you to measure up for. It is particularly good if you have got got a solid work history (have been at the occupation for a few years, or more). A Broker will cognize how to show the certification to assist you get a mortgage. This is particularly important, now, since so many companies and Government Services hire ‘Part-time’ Oregon ‘Contract’ employees. These tin be career positions, and you can be there for 15 years, and still be flatly turned down by the regular banks. Don’t give up on your dreaming to have your ain home because you’re inch a state of affairs like this – phone call a Mortgage Broker, and give it a shot. If that still doesn’t work, seek another one. What’s the harm? At the very least, you can get an honorable reply of what you need to make in order to go qualified. Either way, you’ll be that much closer to owning your ain place, and that’s the goal!

Is there an easy manner to cipher A Mortgage?

There’s a expression that I utilize that is relatively accurate, give or take a hundred dollars, or so. At the very least, you’ll get a ballpark thought of your monthly payment (not including the Tax portion), and whether you can measure up for that amount. Remember that when you’re qualifying for Mortgage money, if you’re even $80.00 over what they believe you can pay, you won’t get the mortgage. It’s best to Pre-Qualify for a mortgage, and inquire how much you will measure up for before you travel house-hunting. Keep in head that as the Interest Rates get lower, the more than you’ll be able to measure up for. Don’t travel crazy, though, since all the costs travel up as you increase in house size, and the monthly operating costs might stop up being higher than you thought, then you’ve got a large house and a crappy lifestyle. Stay within your means; remain happy and comfortable.

The Formula – remember, it’s A ballpark number…

On a 25 twelvemonth Term, you would take the Percentage Rate (say, 5%) and multiply that out by the number of thousand (say, $100,000.), which would give you a mortgage payment of about $500./month (5 Ten 100 = $500.), plus Taxes. So if you’ve establish a house for $165,000.00, and the rate is 5%, (based on a 25 yr. Term), the payment would be around $825.00, plus taxes, per month. (5 Ten 165 = 825)

We utilize this expression all the clip – it’s functional to see if you can even come up close to being able to afford a peculiar property. If you always happen yourself looking at the places worth $300,000., when you can actually afford a $75,000. property, make the math, figure out what you can really buy, and get that. It’s better to purchase something already in your range, salvage your money, delay until your topographic point have gained in equity, then do the move up. Rich Person your Broker or Banker allow you cognize how much you can spend, and have got that up-dated every year, or so, depending on how long it takes you to happen a topographic point to purchase, especially when the rates are fluctuating so much. Also, your Broker will state you the exact payment.

Can I measure up for a Mortgage based on the lowest rates out there?

Different Lending Institutions will have got got different rules, but you will generally have to measure up under their 3 Year Rate, which will be higher than the lowest rates available. Some establishments will utilize the 5 Year Rate (primarily regular banks).

What’s the difference between an Open and a Variable Rate Mortgage?

An Open Mortgage is one that tin be paid out at any time, but you will pay a higher Rate for this privilege. This is a good pick if you’re not certain how long you’ll be staying in the home. You’ll save on the possible Punishment Payments you would have got to pay if you had a Fixed Rate Mortgage, and had to travel before the pre-chosen Time Time Period had elapsed.

A Variable Rate Mortgage (my favorite!) is not fully Open, but it can easily be converted into an Open Mortgage, so you would still salvage on any possible Punishment Payments. With this Mortgage, you’ll usually get better than Prime Rates, and the flexibleness to travel if something better come ups along…! The other thing I really like about this 1 is that you can usually do payments directly on the Principle, which will reduce your mortgage faster than almost any other method. Your monthly mortgage payment will be as low as possible, so with the extra money that you mightiness have got kicking around, set it in a Savings Account, then do the payments annually (or more than – ask you Broker how often and when you can pay off the Principle).

One thing about this type of Mortgage that might look off-putting, initially, is the fact that the interest rates actually fluctuate within the mortgage. This is not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the rates travel down after you’ve established the mortgage. The of import thing to retrieve is that the amount you pay per calendar month volition always be the same – the lone thing that changes is the amount that will come up off the Principle. If interest rates begin to rise, do an extra attempt to put aside some money to pay directly to the Principle.

My biggest Financial Pet Peeve is the whole impression of making two payments per calendar month (or Bi-Weekly Payments) that are really high in an attempt to pay off the Mortgage faster (usually a 15 twelvemonth term). This drives me crazy, since it often sets a batch of unneeded financial pressure level on a family. That’s A batch of money to come up up with in a month, and if catastrophe strikes, they’ll be in serious problem very quickly. I always believe that it’s better to set up the lowest possible monthly expenditures, then if you still have got a large batch of cash left over, great – put option that toward the mortgage. Using the Variable Rate Mortgage will give you the lowest mortgage payment.

Here’s A quick example: If you have got a mortgage of $100,000. @ 5% (using a 25 Year Term), using the Variable Rate Mortgage, your monthly payment would be about $500/month, plus taxes. If you have got the same mortgage in a Fixed Rate Mortgage (also a 25 twelvemonth term), @ 6%--remember that the Variable Rate is lower – the monthly amount would be about $650, plus taxes. (Note that A Fixed Rate Mortgage is calculated differently from a Variable Rate Mortgage) If you were to subscribe up for the two-payment a calendar month plan, that’s $1300/month. The spreading ($500/month to $1300/month) is $800. Multiplied out by a twelvemonth is $9,600 – that would be a huge Lump Sum Payment directly on your Principle.

Keep in head that lone a bantam amount of your regular monthly mortgage payment travels toward the Principle in a new mortgage – have a good expression at your Statement, the adjacent clip it come ups in. Even if you were to set half that amount on the Principle, you would still be making a major dint in it. And your financial life won’t be so stressful, which volition do the remainder of your life much nicer, too, since financial emphasis is one of the leading causes of divorce, but that’s A whole other story…

What’s A Fixed Rate Mortgage?

A Fixed Rate Mortgage is a mortgage that will have got got the same rate for the amount of old age you have chosen to lock in at. Typically, there are 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year, 5 Year, 10 Year, 15 Year, and 25 Year clip periods. If you take to travel before the clip time period is up, you will be required to pay a Wage Out Penalty, so maintain that in head if you’re not completely certain how long you’ll be there.

What’s the best manner to get money for a Home Renovation Project?

Check first with the Financial Institution that’s carrying your Regular Mortgage. They may be able to supply the money you need to renovate. You could borrow on your Equity (the spreading between how much you owe for the property and its current assessment rate) in the word form of a Home Improvement Loan or a Home Equity Loan. Keep in head that you can utilize a Home Equity Loan for other stuff, as well. Your bank should be able to offer you a Blended Rate, and should relinquish the Wage Out Penalties. If they won’t offer that, or give you any loan, phone call a Broker, and see what they can do. They’re not miracle workers, but they can often assist when the regular path won’t come up through for you.

The easiest manner these years is to check out companies on the Internet. You'll get your response a batch faster, and probably get a better rate, too! I'll happen some for you and station them here!

The bank desires to make an Appraisal on my house before they’ll give me a Home Improvement Loan. Are that standard?

Yes. (You’ll need this for the Home Equity Loan, too.) The financial establishment needs to cognize the current value of your home to do certain that their dorsums are covered. Makes sense. You will probably have got to get a ‘Before and After Appraisal’, quotes from the several contractors to demo cogent evidence of renovation, and a verbal description of the type of redevelopments you’re planning. It’s much easier to borrow against the Equity, so seek this route, first. Talk to your Lender before you get too involved to see what you can actually get, and when. If you have got to wage for the whole occupation out of your ain pocket first (as is often the case, which is craaaazy, since if you had the cash just sitting there, you wouldn’t be at the bank, anyway….ah, the joyousness of financing!), make certain that you happen a beginning for stuff that volition supply a payment program (many home improvement supplies will do this), and a contractor who doesn’t head being paid at the end of the occupation when you’re money come ups in.

N.B. Just a small aside – I’ve seen some ‘warnings’ out there that you should nevah’, evah’ pay your contractor up presence or in the center of a job, or only pay them when you are ‘completely satisfied’. Please. There are some people who are never satisfied with anything, even if they get exactly what they requested. This is such as complete crap. You would never work for an employer for a year, then at the end of that year, he would sit down back and make up one's mind whether he should pay you. That’s crazy. Be smart about it, though. Get everything in writing, both of you hold to it, then subscribe the quote. You will often be required to pay for stuffs up-front, since the contractor doesn’t cognize you anymore than you cognize him…Generally, you will do payments as the work progresses, which is easier than getting one large measure at the end, but if you have got extenuating fortune (like the bank won’t give you the money until the end of the project), then state your contractor that at the beginning. All undertakings work more smoothly when there’s unfastened and complete communication.

How make you get a Builder’s Loan?

Apply for a Builder’s Loan the same manner you would apply for a regular mortgage. If you are a new Builder, you may necessitate a ‘New Home Warranty’ on the property. That’s pretty difficult, if it’s your first house, so you may be calling a Broker right away! They’re usually more than flexible in getting you the capital you’ll need to convey the house to fruition, but if you already have got a good human relationship with your banker, give them a cleft at it. This mightiness be easier in a rural area, where it is more than common for people to construct on their own, so the financial establishment will already cognize how to manage this scenario.

When will we get our money?

The money is separated into 3 or 4 sections, or ‘Draws’. Generally, you will get the support in Three Stages:

i.Sub-floor

ii.Lock Up

iii.Completion

Can we get money to get to the Sub-floor Stage?

This is where careful and originative funding come ups in… hopefully, you’ll have got that swack of cash in the bank (at least twenty thousand), and a just spot of equity in your home. You’ll probably need to sell your current property before you begin building your new house, so you can utilize the equity spreading from that sale to get the new house started. If your land is already paid for, you’ll happen this stage easier. Some Developers will allow a new detergent builder to set 5% down feather on the land, then they can pay the balance when the mortgage money come ups in. This is relatively rare, so if you happen this deal and like the location, travel for it.

Talk to your Excavator, Foundation Contractor and Framer to see if you can do partial payments until the First Draw come ups through. They’re inch the business, so they’ll understand your situation. A batch will depend on how busy they are and the human relationship you set up with them. Some Suppliers (lumber, ICF Blocks, etc.) May have got got a payment schedule, too, so it doesn’t ache to inquire if you need to.

A Personal Line of Credit from the bank, along with your regular credit cards (again, if you have an Air Miles credit card, now is the clip to utilize it -- you'll really rack up the points, then you can take a well deserved trip at the end of your house-building adventure!), personal loans, etc. volition all come up into play, now. You might desire to do certain you have got an every other beginning of finances for a ‘just inch case’ scenario. It’s best to program out all the possibilities before you get started so that nil will catch you off-guard.

What sort of Appraisals will the Bank do?

First, the Appraiser will inspect the Land, the House Plans, and your Projected Budget. The amount of money provided for the Builder’s Loan will be based on the Cost to Complete the house, not including the value of the land. The Land will be included with the concluding assessment for the Completion Mortgage (Take Out Mortgage).

The Appraiser will come up out to your property to make Advancement Inspections at the Three Stages – Sub-floor, Lock-up and Completion. You should expect a 1 to two hebdomad waiting time period for the Draw Money to come up through. During that time, the bank will most likely have got a lawyer check the Title each time.

It’s Associate in Nursing involved process, but it makes work, so lodge with it and figure it out! Remember that if one establishment can’t get you the money, seek a Broker or two…eventually, it’ll all work out!

One more than thing -- What is Escrow??? I know, you hear that all the time! It's that seemingly very long time period that your Lawyer throws onto your money while all the statuses are met on the House Deal. Brand certain you inquire your Lawyer for a good thought of the time-frame you might expect, and be certain not to go forth yourself too tight (moneywise!) during this annoyink period!

Just so you know, a Real Estate Lawyer will be very pleasant to deal with ... they don't look to deal with a batch of animosity, like many other types of Lawyers, and that probably accounts for their calm expressions! ha,ha,ha! They're there to assist you get into or out of your home, so don't worry -- it won't ache a bit!
