World's Best Kept Auto Secret!!

WHO KNEW THIS??? I have been driving for nearly 40 years... I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time...I didn't...and I bet you didn't either...Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered...mmm, which side is the gas filler cap? My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car! Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury. If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump? The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump? If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It is that simple!


Don't feel dumb, just go out and share the world's best kept auto secret with your friends.

Economic Report


I have been hearing, "I'm going to buy a property, but I am keeping and eye on the market right now." I wonder what resources are being used to really keep an eye on the true economic state of the market without bringing politics and news media into it. This Economic Report , is the best, clearest, unbiased, report yet. The video presentation is made by Lawrence Yun, Sr VP and Chief Economist for the National Assn of Realtors. The presentation takes about 35 minutes, so take a break, kick up your feet, watch and listen. You will be glad you did!

What you need to know about lease options


KISS is the most important message regarding this topic. My answer to a lease option is: Sign a Lease Agreement, and when the tenant is qualified to purchase, then sign a Sales Agreement. Period.
I was going to go into the details to explain my theory but this lengthy article already has the details. Why so lengthy? Because Lease option IS complicated and there are many details to be aware of!! Read What You Need To Know About Lease Options
