Know When to Pounce with a Coupon

Using a coupon at the opportune moment is key to saving big on groceries. If I have a $1 coupon for toothpaste, I don’t want to use it when the toothpaste is selling for its full $2.99 price. I’ll hold onto it until the price dips to $1. A dollar coupon matched to a dollar sale makes the toothpaste the best price of all: free!

Sizing Down, Down, Down

The economic downturn has made many reassess every dollar they spend, from vacations to wardrobes, gym memberships, food budgets and even how much they allot to java. But one big-ticket item many now are re-evaluating is their family home or apartment – pare square footage and they pare their monthly mortgage or rental obligations. With so much inventory available in most markets, as well as lower interest rates, there are plenty of affordable housing prospects to consider.

The 3-Payment Plan

In a short sale where the financing was FHA-insured, is the borrower first required to miss three payments? This advice was given to me by a lender before it would allow a short sale to go forward.

Giving Up The Home. Sort of …

It’s difficult to sell real estate these days. But it’s getting more popular to give it away.
