My husband is 27 years old, never fished before, but really wants to learn. What is a good starter/1st fishing pole for him to use?

Nothing TOO extreme, in case he hates it, but I don’t want a real cheap one that is a pain and will make him hate it.

Voting Question: What’s your opinion? Is this Perjury and a belligerent attempt to mislead the court?
Please read below for more detials

I recently ended in court to protect a deeded right to ingress and egress to a 10’-0” wide access road that runs from the main road to a lake. Before we went to court the owner of the property the access is on erected a fence and gate on the access.

Access owners Stance 1st Hearing
1)The Access they deeded to me in 1995 went straight over the bank into air and no longer exists.
a)Enter evidence (Deeds) to support their claim
b)Entered into evidence a picture from 1984 showing a small path as the access.
c)They testified that the road that exists now they constructed at a later date to allow them to get appliances to the cottage.
d)Testified that they have parked a car there for over 20+ years therefore they proved adverse possession.
e)Testified that I did ask them not to park in the access

My Stance 1st Hearing
1)I have a clearly state deed to the access. This deeded access was granted to the 2 previous owners of my property. And reaffirmed in 1995 to me with a quick claim deed.
a)Entered deed into evidence
b)Entered a picture of the access from 1994 to show access was present at that time.
c)Testified I requested they quit parking in the access several times.

The Judge’s decision
The Judge ruled against adverse possossion
The Judge stated that their stance that my access no longer existed was simply incredible and ordered that I have the right to the access.
The Judge also ruled they could park a car in the access as long as they were home and they had to move their car within 15 min of my request.
The Judge ordered them to remove the gate and fence.

The Judges ruling did not come until a month after the hearing. In the meantime the neighbors started plowing onto my property to allow them more room to park. We requested they stop. The next thing the neighbor’s attorney requested a meeting with the Judge for clarification of his intent of ruling. Because if the cannot plow my property they have a problem with that and are going to appeal. In the meeting with the Judge he stated his intent was to give both parties free and clear access from the road to the lake. (must have forgot that a car parked in the access is not free and clear). The Judge also stated if the neighbors had to go onto my property 1-2 feet so be it. The Judge said he was open to another hearing to clear this up.

2nd hearing
The attorney for the neighbors now wants to enter into evidence without offering to my counsel for discovery a deed from 1966 and a survey. With the intension that the access was at one time located on the property I now own and the right to use this access was granted to them in this deed. The survey helped to show the location of the access.

Access owners Stance 2nd Hearing
2) Now they have a 1966 deed and survey that they say shows the access was once on the property now owned by me and that deed states they have a right to use my property?
a)Now the access does not go over the bank in fact it was once part of the original property before the neighbors divided off my parcel.
b) Now the survey shows the location of the boat house and its shape. It also shows why my property was divided as irregular and not square. Because the eastern boundary line of my property was the western edge of the access as stated in my deed.
c) Now they testify that the access was topped with railroad ties and
went to the west side of the boat house.
d) They testify they widened the access when they installed the railroad ties for shoring
e) They testify that the bend (dog leg) are in the same place when
looking at a picture from 1994 compared to a picture from 2000.

I also noticed during the hearing the neighbors were able to go thru an assortment of pictures and present them as evidence without presenting them to us as discovery. The Sons Wife who was seated in the Gallery handed the pictures to the Son and Attorney to view right at the table they were sitting at in the court room. They choose the ones the wanted and handed back the others.

Now I am not an attorney however this seems very inappropriate. I feel the Judge should not have allowed the activity in his court room.

Should the judge allowed them to park in the access?
Would this new evidence and testimony by the neighbors at the 2nd Hearing be considered Perjury and a belligerent attempt to mislead the court?
Should the Judge have allowed, condoned, or accepted this behavior in his court room?
Shouldn’t the Trail have been ended right there with a full ruling in my favor?
Do I have a good case to be awarded my attorney fees paid?

Well that didn’t happen. Instead we were ordered to have property surveyed and then have another hearing.

Resolved Question: Real estate Legal advice?
I agreed on a purchase price for a home for $500,000.00. I had a home for sale for the same price. I was wanting to wait to move into the new home after I sold my house. The owner was adamant I moved into the new home in April 1, 2008. We agreed on a price of $10,000.00 a month which I started paying in December of 2007, and have every month since. So I have paid $100,000.00. I went to his lawyers office which is in the same office as my lawyer. I asked my lawyer if it was ok to sign the Buy Sell agreement. He said it was a basic agreement. I knew I had to get financing by 12/15/08, or I would lose my money paid toward the purchase of the new house minus some Interest. The seller moved out of his house and left everything but their personal photos. The seller is regarded as a multimillionaire. I thought it odd he and his wife would move out and leave everything and move into a 14′x60′ mobil home! The agreement listed in the Buy Sell agreement the purchase price of the furniture for $20,000.00. He was insistent we move into his home on April 1, 2008. We did. A few months later the sheriffs office started attempting to deliver papers to the Seller. They left a set of papers with my wife for us to deliver to the Seller. I couldn’t help but read this suit. It was for the sum of almost $500,000.00 for a personal guarantee they made on a loan with a major US bank. I called my lawyer, he told me to return the papers to the sherriffs office. The next day, the sherrifs office came back to my home to drop off more papers. I returned the papers to the sherrif. The officer replied they had several more to serve to the Sellor and his wife. I hired a lawyer to investigate this situation. It was found Sellor was being sued for about $1,000,000.00. The house I am paying $10,000.00 a month on also had up to a $50,000,000.00 attachment for a real estate deal he was doing on condo construction. He denied he was being served papers. He said they were someone elses. I saw the paper. They were his!
Since, Sellors sister told me Sellors condos have a huge note on them, and the loan has been called. Sellors sister was concerned because her father built a new home and the same Sellor of my home, still owns the land fathers house is built on. Sister went to court house and said all of the property my new house, and her fathers house is on is tied up with the called note. I also found out he has a Line of Credit of $350,000.00 tied up in my home also. Sister found out Sellor has been taking $10,000.00 out of fathers account, as he has POA.
Sellor has started building a new home, but construction has stopped with bricks 4′ high. So I knew something was wrong with his finances.
He has been urging, even calling banks and setting up appointments for me to go and try to get financing on the home Sellor owns. I cant get financing on this home, because I havn’t been able to sell my house.
I am in the process of moving out, as Sellor has put everything he has up for sale. Sellor called me and told me I can move out, but this house is mine. I would have to keep making the $10,000.00 payments however until I sell Sellors house. I am out $100,000.00.
My lawyer and I met today, and he said the Buy Sell contract I signed didn’t have the usual terms in it to give me an out if I couldn’t get financing. The lawyer didn’t see this and didn’t advise me it needed to be in the contract before I signed it. Sellor is saying he will sue me for Specific Performance.
I have moved out the furniture from Sellors house, as the 1st two payments went to purchase of the furniture.
I also had a banker who was wanting to finance Sellor’s house for me, but it was found the 20′ of lake front was retained by Sellor. My banker informed me he couldn’t finance the property because the property had to go to the lakes edge.Seller told me I had a nice boat landing on the water. He didn’t say I could use it, that it was his!
What are my options if any except pay for the Sellors house? My lawyer told me I can’t list the home because I don’t own it.
Do I have any other options? Any Recommendations?
Thank you all very much.

So you are ready to rent your house out. Excellent. Perhaps the most important thing you need to do is to get the correcting wording on your rental agreement. If you want to be profitable as a landlord, you need to get your rental agreement in order.

Perhaps the most common question I get is, “I want to rent my home but I don’t know what kind of contract I should have a tenant sign.” Another common question I get is, “I want to rent out my house but what wording should be on my rental agreement or lease agreement?”

The Rental Agreement is the legal contract you and your renter have. It specifically states how the renter must treat your property while renting it. It also states what you are going to charge the tenant each month for rent. But it really is more than this. It is includes all terms and conditions and rules of conduct between you and your renter. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of your Rental Agreement is if you are going to rent for a fixed period of time or are you going to just go month to month.

Common lease periods that most property owners use are for 6 months, 9 months, or 1 year with the 1 year lease being the most popular. The lease obligates you and the renter for a set period of time. After the initial lease expires, most leases are written to automatically go to a month-to-month rental agreement.

A lease is good for tenants because it freezes the rent in place for the term of the lease, and it’s good for you because you can count on having a tenant for a set period of time.

Property owners sometimes offer lower monthly rent on a 1 year lease ($20 – $30 a month less) because renters on a 1 year lease are not as high a risk of early turnover than renters on a monthly lease.

You should know that with a 1 year lease, or any fixed term lease, you can not raise the rent or change other conditions in the lease until that lease expires. You also can not give the tenant a boot like you can on a month to month agreement until the tenant has not paid the rent or has violated some other condition in the Rental Agreement.

Landlord tenant laws in almost every state favor tenants. This means that you can not just violate a Rental Agreement but the tenant can and often does. A tenant can walk away from a lease and there is not much you can do. Keep in mind as well that if this happens, you have to prove that you are trying to rerent your home. Also, as soon as you find a new tenant and he pays the first months rent, you must stop charging the previous tenant for violating the lease. You can not get double payment on a rental unit.

For those who do not understand what a 1031 exchange is, but you have heard of it and would like to know what it is now is your chance. Also, I will do my best to explain it in very simple terms so that no matter your background you will be able to understand it and how you can benefit from it.

Before you can understand how a 1031 exchange works, you should first understand why they exist. They exist so that people can avoid losing money in form of capital gains tax when they sell one property with the intent to reinvest the proceeds immediately. A 1031 exchange makes it possible to defer the capital gains taxes. The term 1031 actually comes from the IRS code. The reason this was created was to encourage people to continue to reinvest their profits, thus helping the economy.

Now that you understand the reason for a 1031 exchange let’s talk about the workings of a 1031 exchange. To get started, you will need to hire a professional QI (Qualified Intermediary). It is required by the law. These are companies that are an independent 3rd party whose job it is to make sure that you follow the rules. They also hold the gain from the sale of the original property until you reinvest it into the replacement property.

Next, there are some rules about what can and cannot qualify for a 1031 exchange. First, remember that we are discussing property. This cannot be done with anything but investment properties. However, that can be widely defined to mean single family rental units, multi-family rental units, office buildings, storage facilities, raw land, retail shopping centers, and industrial facilities.

One of the main factors is that the properties need to be of like kind. Like kind is referring to the nature or characters of properties, not the grade or quality. Another factor in 1031 exchanges is that the properties must be held for productive use in trade or business or for investment.

The 1031 in 1031 exchanges actually comes of the Internal Service Revenue code. Keep that in mind because there are a lot of rules and regulations about how you can and cannot use a 1031 exchange. While it is always advisable to seek the guidance of a professional pertaining to your circumstances, there are some general guidelines that can help you understand the basics.

1- The value of the new property must be of equal or greater value than the one you are selling. 2- The equity of the new property must also be of equal or greater value than the one you are selling. 3- The debt on the new property must be equal or greater to the debt on the property that you are selling. 4- ALL of the net profits from the property that you are selling must be used to acquire the new property.

There are also some strict timeline guides related to 1031 exchanges. First, the investor must identify the new property within 45 calendar days of the close of the old property. (There are some guidelines about how you identify, but that is a later discussion) Second, the investor must close on the new property within 180 calendar days from the closing date on the old property. I hope that this has helped you understand, in plain English, what a 1031 exchange is. There is a lot more information out there on it and you should consult a professional if/when you get serious about doing this.

So you want to rent your house out to anyone? Good for you. One of the first things you need to do is to educate yourself on the various rental agreements and decide on one BEFORE you market your home. The rental agreement is the backbone of profitable property management.

I am often asked something like, “Where should I get the wording for my lease agreement?” Another question that I am often asked is something like, “What legal wording should be on my rental agreement?”

The rental contract specifies the legal terms and conditions for the agreement between the owner and the tenant. It is a legal binding contract between owner and tenant for the possession and use of the rental property in exchange for rent money each month. Perhaps the most important decision you can make is whether to use a lease or a month-to-month rental agreement.

Common lease periods that most property owners use are for 6 months, 9 months, or 1 year with the 1 year lease being the most popular. The lease obligates you and the renter for a set period of time. After the initial lease expires, most leases are written to automatically go to a month-to-month rental agreement.

So why is a 1 year lease so popular? First it is good for you because you can usually count on having a renter in your rental home paying you rent each month for 1 year. It is good for the renter because it locks the rent in place for the term of the lease.

Property owners sometimes offer lower monthly rent on a 1 year lease ($20 – $30 a month less) because renters on a 1 year lease are not as high a risk of early turnover than renters on a monthly lease.

Just keep in mind that with a 1 year lease, or any fixed term lease, you must not raise the rent or change other conditions in the lease until the lease expires. You also can not kick the renter out until the lease expires unless the renter refuses to pay the rent or breaks some other condition in the lease agreement that he signed.

Landlord tenant laws in almost every state favor tenants. This means that you can not just violate a Rental Agreement but the tenant can and often does. A tenant can walk away from a lease and there is not much you can do. Keep in mind as well that if this happens, you have to prove that you are trying to rerent your home. Also, as soon as you find a new tenant and he pays the first months rent, you must stop charging the previous tenant for violating the lease. You can not get double payment on a rental unit.

There are many things to consider before taking on any renovations. Not all homeowners understand the idea behind renovations. Here you will see some home improvement tips for a return on investment, which is important to most homeowners.

Therefore, your renovations must coincide with the type of home you own. For instance, the most expensive materials would benefit only homes that are considered upscale. The kitchen would be a good example here. High end, imported and top of the line, custom kitchen cupboards would suit an upscale home for the affluent. Such value would never be appreciated in average homes, nor would it appreciate the value of the property.

However, if the same is true in high end homes, then it would increase the value of it, and going for the average stock type kitchen may lower the price. In essence, you are looking to improve rooms in your home that would make sense to the future buyers. Therefore, a custom kitchen in a home located where the residents of the area are affluent, a custom kitchen would be the norm.

Making wise choices and knowing where to draw the line with renovations and home improvements are key to getting the return on your investment. There is nothing worse than installing the most expensive hardwood floors in an average home, costing you thousands of dollars and getting nothing for that investment.

With that said, the most return on investment comes from the two most popular rooms in the house, the kitchen and bathroom. In the kitchen, replacing an old backsplash can make all the difference as would new cabinet door handles. Of course, with either of these, there are numerous choices to suit any style and decor.

A new countertop can also breath new air into a tired kitchen. Again, there are endless materials on the market, including the professional look you get from stainless steel. Stone, such as granite is also in demand and would get you a good return on your money. Instead of going for the high end granite, opt for the tiles that still look great and still say “granite” to buyers, at a much lower cost. This is an optimum choice for the middle class home.

A word of caution is necessary, however. When renovating and picking materials, not only should you be looking for durability, but also easy maintenance. Very few homeowners are interested in spending endless hours cleaning difficult surfaces.

The Internet has made it possible to buy anything on line at home. Even if what you would like is a new home to buy things on the computer in, you can get it on line. Real estate listings on line have flourished in recent years and listings with virtual tours make it a fairly thorough experience. For sale by owner as well as established agency sites provide millions of home listings from all over world. The key with any purchase is to know what you are getting for your money, and with enough research this can be done when purchasing a home on the Internet.

When you are looking for land to purchase be it in California or property in Spain, make sure you find out exactly what your options for building on the site are. You want to make sure of exactly what utilities are available for electricity, gas, and water hook ups in this area. Bringing utilities to a piece of land is a major expense when building a home and getting the property right information up front is one of the most important things you can do. Any restrictions must be clarified from the very beginning.

Also, when purchasing an actual house, make sure your information is coming from a reputable website. You want to do everything you possibly can to make sure that the house you see on line truly represents the house you will be purchasing. Also, find out exactly what the neighborhood the house resides in is like. If you have children, research the schools in the area. The best school systems will increase property values.

Is the area in an established flood zone? How about the local weather? Do you need a basement for frequent storm safety? What is the local crime rate? Is there a residential association that may have restrictions? If you are purchasing a condominium or multi-residence unit, what are the parking policies? What are the applicable association fees? All of these charges must be considered when determining your monthly budget and down payment capabilities. You want to ask these questions whether you’re looking for a condo in Florida or a ranch property in Spain.

If you are selling a home on line, make sure you are able to provide all of the necessary information to potential buyers. Being a seller that is easy to work with will usually increase the likelihood of a quick sale. Also, providing all of the necessary information to potential buyers will make your sale appear as a transparent and honest as possible.

Another good thing to watch for are the auction house fees, restrictions and reputation. Going through a reputable service will greatly improve your experience. Try to get references from other people that have used online agencies for home purchases. Also, try to find any advice from those with on line experience that may make the process run more smoothly for you.

If you have been feeling like your apartment rent is eating up most of your income, you may be able to qualify for low income apartments for rent. These apartments are rent subsidized so that qualified renters only need to pay part of the rent.

If you want to live in low income apartments for rent, then HUD requires that your income be a certain amount. You can find this information from HUD.

The way the low income apartment program works is that once you qualify, HUD will pay a portion of the rent for you. You are you still responsible for the rest of the rent that is unpaid by HUD. This usually amounts to a few hundred dollars worth of savings to you.

Ask HUD where you can find low income apartments for rent. They should give you a list of apartments in your area that is participating in the low income apartments program.

Once you decide to go check out the low income apartments for rent, you should take some notes. This can be a big help later when you need to review your notes and figure out which low income apartments for rent you like.

If you have a chance, speak to some of the renters currently living in the low income apartments for rent. They can give you some clues as to whether the landlord is good or not. You might also want to check up on the landlord online.

Once you have narrowed down your choices of low income apartments for rent, have the landlord do a walk through of the house with you. Note all issues and have the landlord fix them before you move in.

Do not forget to buy renters insurance. Some apartments may require them while others do not. In any case, they benefit you in case your property was stolen you would have your things insured.

Podcasting as a medium of communication has emanated from blogging. Very often podders are considered as bloggers who simply include podcasts in their own blogs. Podcasting entails the delivery of online audio content via webfeed. It is similar to radio in demand but gives you many more options with regard to the program style and content as compared to the radio. As a real estate professional, you can use this medium to enhance your online social marketing. There are three main ways in which you can use the medium of podcasting with your blog to get your message across to your target audience.

The first method or way of podcasting in which you can get your message out clearly is via Audio Tours. As an agent of real estate who is looking for potential buyers and clients online, this can be an effective method for your business. You can give a detailed description of properties that you wish to advertise and promote. This audio touring is also a form of virtual touring. Listeners will get a fair idea about these properties and have a mental picture in their minds and decide if they are interested.

You can combine the method of Audio Tours with Audio Seminars for podcasting to further strengthen your online real estate social marketing. You can produce material from your blog in an audio-electronic form.

Podcasting will help you provide to your customers many different ways to access interesting information. And along with them you benefit too because it increases your income and you get to show yourself as a technologically updated thorough professional. This also leaves a nice impression upon your clients and customers and you earn a good reputation too.

The second method of podcasting carves the way for you to provide to your listeners exclusory tips regularly. You can provide a suitable title to them, something like “Tip of the Day”. This can keep your listeners hooked to you as they will keep expecting to receive such data from you.

The third and the best method of podcasting is to host a radio show for your listeners. The benefit in hosting such shows is you are able to remain in touch with your clients intelligently. You can speak about your real estate business and discuss different questions with them in this radio show. You also get the chance to update the clients with the latest news, rates and offers. Choosing the format of the show is up to you and that meets your social marketing demands.

You can express yourself in a manner that is personal in nature by creating a radio show for podcasting your blog. This repeatedly builds a bond between you and your consumers. Consumers prefer to do business with those whom they know, trust and understand. A radio show can be the best mode that can create and reinforce all these sentiments in the minds of your consumers.

Thus to conclude we can say, the most essential aspect of podcasting, if compared to any other means of advertising, is it allows you to send your message across to your target audience successfully. But do remember that your main objective should always be to keep your product or service the centre point of the discussion. Using Podcasting to publicize and promote your product will not make you rich instantly.

In order to have much success in selling your house in this bad economy, you have to do everything you can to get ahead of the competition and make it a great deal for the buyer. You will have to be able to satisfy all of the demands that the buyers will want when considering your house.

One of the things you should not overlook is your backyard. Many homes have very plain yards and that is OK as long as you make sure it is well groomed. Your backyard is part of the house and how it is taken care of reflects on you and how you view your house. It is best to have a complete product (house and yard) that look equally nice and well kept.

However, sometimes people overly decorate their yard with highly personal touches. You might love your backyard’s Japanese garden, but its appeal may limit your chances of selling the home. Your buyer would also need to appreciate that type of landscaping and have the time and skill to care for it. If your home is great but has a yard intricately decorated to suit your individual taste, whoever buys your house must have the same taste, or at least not hate it.

You don’t need to spend a ton of money in order to make your yard into the kind of yard that anyone would be very happy with. All a good yard requires is a nice setup that is comparable to those around you. Your yard should look as good as any other yard in the neighborhood.

Your yard should have the look of a very cared lawn that anyone would be happy to walk on with out shoes. Some owners have trouble selling their house because they haven’t cared for their lawn the way they should. You can’t imagine how much of a benefit having a green well cared for lawn that is well taken care of can be when you are trying to sell your home. The point is everyone looks at the lawn as a part of the house, and if the lawn isn’t well cared for, buyers will feel the the house is not as well cared for.
