It has been 1 year since our business at Foreclosure Prevention Institute, LLC at www.foreclosureinfo.bravehost.com has intensively and extensively helped Michigan homeowner’s with their home situation to help prevent foreclosures. Times, policies and events within the Mortgage industry have been rapidly changing within this time period. One important change involves the department of Loss Mitigation. When I now call some lenders to loss mitigate, the lender will say that we no longer have a loss mitigation department. Today, they have two departments: A collection department and a loan modification department. I think this is due in part to the new federal legislation that is coming down the pipe (so to speak) to ultimately slow down the rate of foreclosures and to help homeowners who are trapped in a loan due to predatory lending.

On this note and a bit of a tangent, one must also realize that this legislation is also designed to help bail-out the lending institutions, and the national and international investors who backed the loans. The lending institutions are having to make significant changes in this subprime meltdown and economic recession just to meet federal mandates and to stay in business (eg. Bank of America just bought-out Countrywide). Certainly, Congress is pressuring them and their financial portfolios are requiring them to make these changes. Not only are banks hurting financially, but they are also having trouble with property management. Furthermore, banks are no longer able to easily make the “fast and staggering bucks.” Understanding this helps me to say to Mr. and Mrs. Homeowner that the lender truly doesn’t want your home. They know that if a house goes into foreclosure, they will lose between $30,000 to $50,000. Lenders’ commodity is money and they make money on the interest of the performing loan. So lenders, really, just want the mortgage payments to be paid and in a timely fashion as promised within the documents signed at the closing table. In fact, it is in the best interest of the lender to mitigate to cut their losses. So the question always comes back to “How can the homeowner meet this obligation when he/she is similarly facing a financial hardship and can’t pay today?”.

Well, the two parties must communicate, negotiate, and loss mitigate. If the homeowner is behind in their payment(s) and wants to save their home, it is important for the homeowner to call the lender to tell the lender when they think or they will be able to make the next mortgage payment. In the preforeclosure stage, one will be referred to the collection department. The service representative will help to set-up a work-out solution or forbearance plan which usually involves signing a written agreement while they refer the current loan or loan in default to the loan modification department. It is important that the homeowner knows three things:

A. Usually, lenders automatically through a computerized system place a homeowner into foreclosure proceedings when they are 60 days late in their payments. This is the danger zone, and negotiations and communication needs to occur.

B. Loan modifications are not guaranteed. Right now lenders are considering and qualifying each homeowner for a loan modification depending upon their hardship and their adjustable rate mortgage especially if the rate adjustment is going to occur within the next 60 to 90 days. Know that the lenders are more likely to grant a loan modification if the ARM caused the financial hardship or will cause a financial hardship. Simple debt or the loss of a job is not always enough to permit a loan modification. After all, everyone would like to lower their interest rate. Lenders have set parameters, guidelines, and rules that they must follow. A new interest rate in a loan modification is many times determined by the homeowner’s pay stubs (income) and tax returns, and the willingness of the investor who holds the deed. It normally takes between 45 to 60 days to obtain a loan modification. During this time period, the lender wants to be assured that the homeowner can make monthly payments.

C. Documents needed vary depending upon the lender, but typically the lender will need the following items so they have the right information to consider and process the loan modification:

A hardship letter
IRS tax returns from the last two years
Last two paystubs of borrower, coborrower and/or anyone else in the home that would help establish income to cover the mortgage
Last two bank statements
Insurance declaration page to show insurance is paid and current.
Social Security, disability, or chid support documentation
An old or new appraisal might also be helpful within negotiations especially if one cannot sell the home because it is over-leveraged. Completing a financial income statement/budget is also important to establish financial priorities.

Pet cat care should be your responsibility if you have your pet cat at home. Knowing if you have a healthy cat would require that you know how to observe how your cat looks. You should be able to judge if your cat is too thin or too fat. The best thing to do it is to observe your pet cat and see how it looks.

When examining your cat, you may be able to see the telltale signs if it is either too thin or too heavy. Your pet cat may be too thin if the ribs are obviously visible on your short haired cat. The ribs may show or you may be able to feel it on a thick haired cat with seemingly no palpable fat anywhere. You may also observe some slight abdominal tuck as well as no visible fat on your pet.

A cat that is too heavy may have their ribs not easily obvious that may be covered by excess fat. If you observe your cat, you may notice that it might not have a visible waist that has become rounded with excess fat. Your cat would seem rounded with the prominent abdominal fat as well as with fat deposits over the back area. This would be one of the signs that your cat may be overweight.

One of the solutions to problems concerning your pet cat’s weight would be the proper feeding regimen that you cat goes through. It is important that, as a pet owner, you will know the right proportion of food to give to your pet cat. At different points of their life, your pet cat would require different nutritional needs and therefore a varied feeding program.

When you have a pet kitten, you should know that they require twice as much energy per pound of their body weight as compared to a mature cat. Kittens need to be weaned for about the first six to eight weeks of their life and then they can be given a regular diet composed of a well balanced food that will ensure proper growth. Kittens should be fed three top four times a day with a source of clean water always made available for them at all times. This regimen is to help provide the cat’s nutritional needs during its rapid growth.

After seven months to one year, you may now need to bring down feeding your cat to just twice a day. But this should be seen on an individual basis. The amount that you would eventually feed would depend on the level of activity and body condition of your cat. Your vet can assess and would be able to provide you with the right diet to provide for your pet cat.

When you have an adult cat that go through just the normal day to day activity, diet wold be to maintain that type of feline lifestyle. At this time, a cat food that is well-balanced for maintenance of cats in all life stages may already be used. Be also aware that cats are occasional eaters.

They do not seem to finish up their food at just one sitting. You may observe them to eat a bit of the food you serve but never seem to finish them. They usually try to eat at various times of the day when they feel like it.

For this reason, you might need to provide all-day access to food for your cat along with a clean source of water supply.

Okay, so we all love our pets, and if you have children, they of course, do as well. Many people have indoor pets, and while that is all fine and well, indoor pets can cause
significant damage to your home, and if nothing else, leave you with a huge mess to clean up. If you have an indoor pet, or are contemplating getting one, this is something that you should think about. If you aren’t prepared to deal with the mess or the potential damage to your home, then you might want to get an outdoor pet, or rethink the entire thing. If you already have an indoor pet, there are some things that you can do, which will help protect your home from damage, without getting rid of your special pet friend.

No matter what type of indoor pet you have, you will likely have problems with shedding. This can be extremely bothersome, as it gets onto your furniture, into your food, into
your carpeting, your heating system, and even onto your bedding and clothing. No one wants to walk around with dog or cat hair on them all day, no matter how much they love
their pet, and your guests certainly don’t want your pet’s hair all over them either. There are some things that you can do to make this problem easier to handle. If your pet gets onto your furniture, you may want to purchase some nice sheets that can be placed over your furniture, and washed often. This will not only help with the shedding problem, but stains as well. It may also be a good idea to purchase a bed for your pet that can be moved from room to room, so that your pet will be more inclined to stay off of the
furniture.

Another thing that can help control the hair problem is to purchase lint rollers or brushes, that can be used on the furniture and your clothing, which can help get rid of some of the hair that has accumulated there. It is a good idea to do this at least one time each day, depending on how much your pet sheds. If you have an indoor pet, you should also
spend the money to get a good air filtration machine; so that it can help get rid of pet dander, odors, and make the air cleaner for you to breathe. This is especially necessary
for those who have allergies or breathing problems.

Some pets, particularly small puppies, tend to go berserk when left alone, and if this is the case with your pet, you might want to consider putting your pet into the garage or
basement while you are away, to help minimize the damage to your home. Pets can easily destroy blinds, curtains, furniture, shoes, clothing, etc. You may also want to think about obedience training, which can help with this problem. Making certain that your pet gets outside to burn off some extra energy when you come home is also a good idea.

There really isn’t much you can do about potty training your pet, other than expect accidents to happen. You can try crate training, which will limit the mess to the crate
rather than other areas of your home, but either way, it isn’t going to be fun. There are diapers that can be purchased for your pets, but they can be expensive.

Basically, if you have an indoor pet, especially a young one, you can expect to spend a lot of time doing extra cleaning around the house. Again, if you aren’t prepared to do
that, then you might want to consider other options.

Purchasing the hybrid car is a choice that is should be considered carefully. There are many choices on the market today when it comes to hybrid vehicle selection. You must make some important choices when it comes to buying the hybrid car. In this article, you will discover some important things that you should consider when it comes to buying the hybrid car. There are many things that should be established and considered prior to making the choice to buy the hybrid car.

1) The first thing that you should consider when buying the hybrid car is if the purchase is right for you and your situation. Are you simply buying the hybrid car because everyone else is doing it? If so, this is probably not the right choice. If you are buying the hybrid car to save on fuel efficiency, help to protect the environment, and to save money on expenses that concern your automobile, then you are probably buying the hybrid car for the right choices.
2) The second thing that you should consider when buying the hybrid car is the driving habits that you have. Do you practice safe and effective driving? Are you conservative when it comes to the method that you drive in? If you are, then purchasing the hybrid car is probably right for you.
3) The third thing that should be considered when buying the hybrid car is if you are familiar with all the options that come with the hybrid car? There are many makes and models that you can choose from when buying the hybrid car, but it is important that the hybrid car that you select meets the needs that you have in a vehicle.
4) When you consider purchasing the hybrid vehicle, it’s important to understand that you may pay more for a hybrid vehicle than a standard vehicle. You should research the prices of hybrid vehicles to ensure that the costs of the hybrid fit into your budget. Also, when working with a dealer, it is very important to try to purchase a hybrid vehicle that is selling at invoice rate. You should make sure that you get the best deal possible on your hybrid vehicle.
5) You should research many areas when it comes to buying a hybrid vehicle. Research hybrid vehicles online, work with a variety of hybrid car dealers, and try to get the most for your money. The hybrid vehicle is going to have to last you quite a long time, and it is important that you purchase the hybrid vehicle that you like, that has the features that you wish to have in a hybrid vehicle, and that it has the best price available.

As you can see, there are many things to consider when buying a hybrid vehicle. While these vehicles are extremely beneficial, they are not always appropriate for each individual. If you research hybrid vehicles, and find that they are right for you, you should continue with the purchase. If not, then do not continue with the purchase.

Okay, you have done your homework, and decided that you want to become a mystery shopper. You have looked around online, and found the company that you think you want to work for, and so now all you have to do is fill out a simple application, right? Well, the bad news is that those applications aren’t always that simple, and in fact, can be downright confusing to some folks, so let me help you out here with the basics.

Chance are your application will be made up of two different parts, as most are, your job description (including a possible test at the end), and your personal information and work history. Many employers now require you to take basic skills tests, integrity and ethics tests, and reading comprehension tests during the hiring process, so be prepared. Part of your job as a mystery shopper will be to read and comprehend information sent to you by your employer, and to then be able to provide the employer with your own assessment of what you see when you do your shop, which requires good communication skills.

There will be a part of the application that will talk to you about the importance of remaining anonymous; so that no one will actually know that you are a mystery shopper,
which will enable you to get a true study of the site you are visiting. If the employees know or suspect that you are a mystery shopper, they will alter their normal behaviors to try and earn a good score, which will basically defeat the purpose of the mystery shop. You must never carry your mystery shopper paperwork with you to a shop, as this is the
first clue that you are doing something suspicious. You have to be able to browse and remember what you see, so that you can type up your report upon leaving the job.

When given an assignment, you are expected to complete it at the date and times specified, and have all paperwork turned in promptly. If you routinely have problems completing assignments on time, you will be relieved of your position, or just won’t receive new assignments. If you do have a problem, you are expected to contact your employer as soon as possible, just as you would be required to do with any other job.

You must be able to respond to all of the questions that you are supplied with, and not leave anything blank or unanswered. Un-clear or blank answers could result in your not
getting paid, or losing future opportunities.

You must have up-to-date contact information on file at all times. If you change your phone number or move, you should notify your employer right away, as this limits their
ability to process your reports for payment, as well as to contact you with new assignments. Some employers will agree to communicate with you via email if you prefer.

The company you work for will let you know when they process payments, usually it is on a monthly basis, occurring most often on the 20th day of the month. In order to be
paid, all of the required documentation must be completed and turned in by the required date.

Most companies will not allow you to perform a mystery shop on a business where you have a personal relationship with the employees, friends or family. You also have to be at
least eighteen years of age or older to qualify for a position.

Take the time to read all of the fine print, and make certain that you understand and feel confident that you can meet the expectations the company has for you, and if not, ask
questions until you do. Keep in mind that you won’t get rich working as a mystery shopper, but it can be a fun way to make some extra cash!

==========================================================

The Two best direct sales opportunities I have found on the internet are My Internet Business and Abunza but, I want to give a way to judge any home business before you start one.

Since I have been involved in internet home businesses I have put together some guidelines for reviewing a home business opportunity. I believe these guidelines must be present inorder to be successful in the business of your choice. lets get to it…

Your success in a home business is dependent on the below factors so read them all the way through.

1. Find a success mentor. It is critical, you want to find someone you can trust. A mentor that has a proven system that anyone can plug into. This person has to already have the results that you desire. Most importantly they have to be someone who is truly willing to listen to your needs and cares about your success.

The opportunity you choose must have a way of rewarding them when they do help you, in other words a financial intrest in helping you.

2. Be sure that the products are high quality and can stand on their own and offer true value. You are looking for products that would sell themselves if someone were looking for them. Most direct sales and network marketing companies are simply built around the compensation plans and not the product. If there aren’t stand alone products, you will have trouble building a strong team and income in the future.

Find out what percentage of the products sold are retail sales. If distributors are only buying the products so they can sell them to recruits, watch out. There are plenty of good opportunities to choose from so be wise and pick the one that fits you.

3. Make sure that you are working with a team that has a turnkey marketing system in place that anyone can duplicate. This needs to be a fool proof system that ANYONE can plug into and get results right away. If you have to figure out how to generate your own leads or if the company relies on recruiting family or friends, purchased leads or newspaper ads, RUN AWAY. If you don’t have a reliable way of getting quality prospects in front of what you have to offer than you can’t be guaranteed long term success.

4. Make sure that the company has a stong vision in place to carry it forward for many years. You want to make sure that if is something you are going to build and put your heart into, that it will be arounf for years to come. Also make sure that the company isn’t hiding offshore in the Bahamas or Panama to keep out of reach of the attorney general. This is a red flag that something is not right.

5. Find a direct sales company to work with. I have never personally achieved a significant income with MLM or network marketing type business models. The attrition is way too big and the commissions are too small.

6. Make sure you don’t have to pass up sales as part of your qualification
process. You should be able to earn income from day one. This is absolutely
critical so that you may get into profit and recoup your investment as fast as possible.

7. Make sure the company you are working with doesn’t have any conflicts of interest. You can tell by their large monthly fees, trying to sell you leads, or partnerships and alliances that are designed to fill the companies pockets with your money.

8. Find a company of which you don’t have to do any explaining or personal selling. You should have a team of people to help you out or a sales system where you can outsource the closing to a team that will take your calls and sign prospects up. You are looking for more time freedom right? You don’t want to be chained to your phone all day.

9. You need to learn how to trust your gut. If you feel good about what you’re doing, then great pursue it with all you have. However, if you can’t seem to get straight answers about products, services or systems, run away! They probably aren’t telling you the whole truth and they just want your money.

You will be able to tell if someone is trying to actually build a relationship with you or just trying to sell you something. There are tons of scams out there just hiding behind innocence and opportunity.

Finally, is what your about to do something you can truly share with others and be passionate about? If the answer is no, then how will you ever be successful? Do something meaningful and you have to have a willingness to help other people reach their goals as well. If you help enough people reach their goals, you will be able to write your own ticket.
