Getting a mortgage after foreclosure

 

There are some additional hurdles for homeowners who have gone through a foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy, but a little patience and some financial hard work will go a long way.

 

By Marcie Geffner of Bankrate.com

 

Buying a home is a challenging goal for most hopeful homeowners. But for those who have experienced a bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale, the hurdles are even higher.

 

Still, it's not impossible to buy a home after financial difficulties, says Dan Keller, a mortgage banker with Hometown Lending in Everett, Wash. In fact, Keller says, people who have cleaned up their credit and are otherwise qualified to get a mortgage can buy a home as soon as they have outlasted a prescribed waiting period after the bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale.

Snow and Ice Removal

 

By: Sal Vaglica, This Old House magazine

 

The cold, wet stuff has a way of ar­riving without regard for our busy schedules. It's not a problem if the only items on your to-do list are making snow angels and taking a nap, but if you need to clear the path to the car quickly-and drive off safely-it pays to prepare. Start with the right equipment and deicers, then stick to these time-tested removal methods. You'll be on your way-or back inside making cocoa-in no time.

 

Before the ground freezes...

 

...drive tall stakes around plant beds near paths and driveways so that you know where to stop shoveling.

Pro Tip: "If your shrubs get loaded down with snow, leave them alone-you'll do more damage trying to shake it off." -Rick Kier, president, Pro Scapes Landscape and Lawn Care, Jamesville, N.Y.
