Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Bailout Costs Taxpayers More than Expected.

According to a recent article posted by Paul Davidson in USA Today, the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will cost taxpayers more that was originally thought. So far, Fannie and Freddie have received $135 billion in funds from the Treasury Department. They are expected to receive another $19 billion by 2013.

Paul also mentions that the $154 billion bailout is not the compete figure...

"All these figures exclude dividends paid, or expected to be paid, to Treasury based on its preferred shares in Fannie and Freddie. If those amounts were included, the companies are expected to draw $221 billion to $363 billion by 2013."

The bailouts for the financial firms and auto industry cost taxpayers $50 billion.

Got Too Much Stuff in Your Tulsa, OK Home?

It is all too common to hear someone say, "I have way too much stuff" or "I don't have any more room in my Tulsa, OK home"! Some people hoard, others save “just in case”, and many find out they have too much stuff when they have to move. Whatever your reasons, now that fall is here, it is the perfect time to go through that stuff and figure out what to do with it. Here are your five basic options: Keep it, Store it, Sell, it, Donate it, and Throw it Away. The hardest part for most people is trying to put that stuff in the right category. Try these tips to make getting rid of all that stuff easier.

First- get five buckets, bags, or containers. and label them with Keep, Store, Sell, Donate, Throw Away. As you go through items, put them in the proper containers. If you have any doubts, set it aside and come back to it later.

Second- ask yourself these questions:

• Does this item add positive value to my life or does it make me feel bad?
• Does this item have sentimental value? Is it a family heirloom?
• Have I used this item or worn these clothes in the last year?

If the items make you feel bad or haven't been used in the last year, don't keep them. Keep the items that are very important to you and that you use regularly.

Third- if the item is in the keep pile but you don't have room for it, consider placing it in a Tulsa, OK storage facility. Remember to think about insurance coverage and special needs for items in storage, such as temperature, parking, etc.

Fourth- if you are getting rid of the item, follow these basic rules to categorize that “stuff”!

• Throw it away if it is torn, ripped, broken, or stained. If you have large items, old building supplies or just too much stuff for the trash can, call a Tulsa, OK Junk Removal Service, like I/Haul.
  
• Sell it if it is something that you think someone else would buy or could imagine someone else using. Remember that selling items will often take time, whether selling in a garage sale, consignment store or online.
  
• Donate items that are in good shape and would be helpful to others. Places like John 3:16 in Tulsa, OK , Tulsa Salvation Army and Goodwill of Tulsa take many donations and some even pick up in certain areas. Also remember that some items like children’s toys, book and videos can be donated to children’s hospitals and other organizations with needy or sick children. Be creative and check around. There are many worthwhile places to donate good used items.

For information on Tulsa, OK storage facilities and moving services call Mike Ellingson, Relocation LLC at 918-459-6683 or www.relocationllc.net.

• Avoid smoking and the use of chemicals indoors.
• Use building materials that don't emit toxins. Ask your builder for some eco-friendly building options.

Do I Repair, Refinish, or Replace My Hardwood Flooring?

When a good quality hardwood floor is installed properly and needed repairs are done well it provides a beautiful and durable flooring option. When repairs, refinishes, and installations are not done properly or a bad product is purchased it can cause many problems. Here are some common problems with hardwood flooring and their causes:

• Buckling is usually caused when the flooring is not given proper time to acclimate, moisture testing is not done correctly, or it is not given proper room to expand.
• Creaking or squishy floors can be caused by incorrect floor preparation on both a concrete slab and a wood sub-floor.
• Fading and color changes can occur simply due to exposure to light over time or from failing to install from different cartons. Since cartons of hardwood flooring can come from different lots it is important for the installer to use several different cartons at a time when installing the flooring in each area.
• Visible and Invisible defects can occur when using a poor quality hardwood floor. Although it can also occur with even the best of hardwood products, it is less likely when good quality hardwood products and good hardwood flooring installers and repair professionals are chosen.

To ensure that your hardwood floor looks beautiful for years to come, select a good quality floor, have it installed properly, and make sure all repairs are done correctly.

For new hardwood flooring in Tulsa, OK, call Jim Ecrette of ProSource Flooring at 918-252-7711 or www.prosourcefloors.com/tulsa and ask for Darryl Baskin's Contractors Rate.

For Tulsa, OK hardwood flooring repair and installation, call Jonathon Knapp of Residential Repair, Inc. at 918-621-1020 or www.residentialrepairinc.com.

Lead, Why it is it Such a Big Deal?

There are many health concerns that go along with lead. One of the main concerns involves children. When kids get a hold of it, it can cause central nervous damage, ADD and many other issues. Why does lead create such a problem? Lead particles are very small and can be easily disturbed. 1978 was the cut off date for using lead in the US, however it has been found in things from other countries. With children it is very concerning because they put their fingers in their mouth and ingesting lead can cause health issues. How do I know if there is lead in my home? The biggest areas to watch are paint and caulk. When disturbing paint or caulk, be cautious and call professionals. Instead of sanding or removing it yourself it is better to paint over it so that it is not disturbed. It can spread easily even when taking precautions. For health reasons, it is important to call a professional instead of trying to handle it yourself. Professionals must be certified in order to handle lead removal.

Call the professionals at PCC Cleaning and Restoration for lead paint removal in the Tulsa, OK area at 918-641-1111 or www.pcccr.com.

Kitchen Remodeling Trends to Consider in Your Tulsa, OK Home...

According to an article in EzineMark.com by Joaquin Erazo, Jr, today's kitchen remodeling trends can help retain or even increase the value of your Tulsa, OK home. The key is knowing what trends to focus on when remodeling. Some areas of current trends to consider include: technology, televisions, green products, sinks and workstations, gathering spaces, tradition, colors and appliances.

Technology: High-tech home improvement options are transforming the kitchen during a remodel. Refrigerators, dishwashers, and stoves offer a wider variety of features to save you time and energy. Sound systems, computers, and televisions are increasingly part of the kitchen. Wireless Internet allows home technology wherever you want it.


Televisions Everywhere: New fridges have televisions built in and come with remote controls and cable hookups. You can even find range hoods with built-in TVs and DVD players!


Green: Today's consumers look for cabinets, flooring, and tables made from sustainable materials such as bamboo. They also want water-conserving faucets and energy-efficient appliances.

Healthy: Another aspect of going "green" includes installing cabinets without Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and adding copper sinks, which have innate anti-bacterial properties. Homeowners also want ways to make their food safer. You can find refrigerators specifically designed to keep food fresh for longer and faucets with built-in filtration.

Fancier Sinks: You can find with built-in strainers, colanders, or cutting boards. Faucets are more likely to be the flexible, pull-out variety and many sinks offer a deeper bowl for filling large pots.

Work Stations: Specialized stations are cropping up all over the kitchen. Areas for preparing bread, making coffee or pizza, and wine-tasting nooks are all growing in popularity.


Kitchen as Family Room: Increasingly, homeowners want lots of gathering space and comfortable touches for when the family gathers in the kitchen. As in the past, they also want kitchens that open onto the family room.

Traditional Styles: A more contemporary look has become less popular. Traditional styles dominate, with Shaker enjoying a great deal of popularity.

Neutral Colors: White seems to be the most popular kitchen color choice since it offers a great deal of flexibility in styles and décor. Other neutral colors such as beige and off-white are now trendy as well.


Colorful Appliances: While cabinets and walls are less colorful, appliances are growing more so. Some dishwashers and fridges come with a variety of panels that you can coordinate with your décor.

Questions for the 2010 Oklahoma State Ballot #7

As Tulsa residents, the upcoming election in November will be very important. There are a record 11 questions on the Oklahoma State Ballot. As Tulsa voters, it is important to be aware of each question on the ballot so that we can make well informed decisions. After all, these decisions will affect Tulsa for years to come. So far we have given an overview of SQ 744, SQ 746, SQ 747, SQ 748, SQ 750, SQ 751, SQ 753, and SQ754- 8 of 11 questions on the Oklahoma State Ballot for November 2010. Today, we will discuss the seventh and eight of the eleven Oklahoma state questions- SQ 755, SQ756, and SQ 757.

SQ 755: This measure amends the Oklahoma Constitution. It changes a section that deals with the courts of this state. It would amend Article 7, Section 1. It makes courts rely on federal and state law when deciding cases. It forbids courts from considering or using international law. It forbids courts form considering or using Sharia Law.

International law is also known as the law of nations. It deals with the conduct of international organizations and independent nations, such as countries, states, and tribes. It deals with their relationship with each other. It also deals with some of their relationships with persons.

The law of nations is formed by the general assent of civilized nations. Sources of international law also include international agreements, as well as treaties.

Sharia Law is Islamic law. It is based on two principal sources, the Koran and the teaching of Mohammed.

SQ 756: This measure adds a new section of law to the State Constitution. It adds Section 37 to Article 2. It defines "health care system." It prohibits making a person participate in a health care system. It prohibits making an employer participate in a health care system. It prohibits making a health care provider provide treatment in a health care system. It allows persons and employees to pay for treatment directly. It allows a health care provider to accept payment for treatment directly. It allows the purchase of health care insurance in private health care systems. It allows the sale of health insurance in private health care systems.

The measure's effect is limited. It would n ot affect any law or rule in effect as of January 1, 2010.

Nor could the measure affect or negate all federal laws or rules. The United States Constitution has a Supremacy Clause. That clause makes federal law the supreme law of the land. Under that clause Congress has the power to pre-empt state law. When Congress intends to pre-empt state law, federal law controls. When Congress intends it, constitutionally enacted federal law would pre-empt some or all of the proposed measure.

SQ 757: This measure amends the State Constitution. It amends Section 23 of Article 10. It increases the amount of surplus revenue which goes into special fund. That fund is the Constitutional Reserve Fund. The amount would go from 10% to 15% of the funds certified as going to the General Revenue fund for the preceding fiscal year.

This information provided by "Do You Have the Answers?" by Sid Sperry published in Oklahoma Living Magazine.

For more information about SQ 755, SQ 756, or SQ 757 or any other question on the November 2, 2010 ballot, visit the www.okpolicy.org website or visit www.ballotpedia.org.

How New FHA Changes Could Affect Home Buyers

How New FHA Changes Could Affect Home Buyers

Earlier this week, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) implemented changes to the premium structures for an FHA-backed mortgage.

My membership in the Top 5 in Real Estate Network® requires that I, along with my team, remain committed to keeping our clients and consumers informed, so it's important that we let you know that these changes may make it more costly for home buyers to procure FHA loan products.

In the wake of the real estate decline and credit freeze of the past three years, FHA-insured loans soared as borrowers sought alternative avenues for securing affordable mortgages. The FHA loan is popular because its minimum down payment is 3.5%, whereas most conventional loans require a much higher down payment. Recently, however, housing experts have raised concerns about FHA's shrinking funds and its ability to handle increasing defaults, sparking the agency’s impending regulation changes.

According to CNNMoney.com, FHA reported that its reserve fund has dropped to 0.53% of its insurance guarantees, well below the 2% ratio mandated by Congress and the 3% ratio it had last fall. This fund covers losses on the mortgages the agency insures. FHA borrowers pay for the insurance that backs their loans in the form of an upfront premium and an annual premium.

The agency has seen a spike in delinquencies amid the mortgage meltdown. Some 14.36% of FHA loans were past due in the third quarter, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. To compensate for its rapidly depleting reserve fund, the following changes will be implemented to FHA lending:

• Upfront mortgage insurance premiums will decrease from 2.25% to 1.00%.
• At the same time, the 0.55% annual premium will be increased to 0.85% for mortgages with loan-to-value ratios up to and including 95%, and to 0.90% for loan-to-value ratios above 95%.
• Borrowers will be required to have a credit score of at least 580 to qualify.

These changes in FHA lending may be paving the way for conventional financing with private mortgage insurance (MI) to make a comeback in lending for low down payment buyers. According to loan experts, both MI and FHA have their place, but borrowers should consult with their real estate professional and lender to determine what loan options are best for their particular situation.

For more information on FHA lending, please e-mail our team, and please forward this email to others who might be unaware of how they may be impacted by these important changes.

Questions for the 2010 Oklahoma State Ballot #6

As Tulsa residents, the upcoming election in November will be very important. There are a record 11 questions on the Oklahoma State Ballot. As Tulsa voters, it is important to be aware of each question on the ballot so that we can make well informed decisions. After all, these decisions will affect Tulsa for years to come. So far we have given an overview of SQ 744, SQ 746, SQ 747, SQ 748, SQ 750 and SQ 751- 6 of 11 questions on the Oklahoma State Ballot for November 2010. Today, we will discuss the seventh and eight of the eleven Oklahoma state questions- SQ 753 and SQ 754.

SQ 753: This measure amends a section of the Oklahoma Constitution. It amends Section 3 of Article 7-B. The measure deals with the Judicial Nominating Commission. This Commission selects nominees to be appointed judges or justices, when a vacancy occurs. The Commission selects three, sometimes four, qualified nominees. The Governor must appoint one of the nominees.

The amendment adds two at-large members to the Commission. At -large members can come from any Oklahoma congressional district. The Senate President Pro-Tempore appoints one of the new at-large members. The Speaker of the House of Representatives appoints the other. At-large member can not be lawyers. Nor can more than two at-large members be from the same political party.

Six non at-large members are appointed by the Governor. They cannot be Oklahoma lawyers. The measure adds a new qualification for non-lawyer members. They can not have a lawyer from any state in their immediate family. Each congressional district must have at least one non-lawyer member.

Six lawyer members are elected by members of the Oklahoma Bar Association. Each congressional district must have at least one-lawyer member.

SQ 754: This measure add a new section to the Oklahoma Constitution. It adds Section 55A to Article 5. The Legislature designates amounts of money to be used for certain functions. These designations are called appropriations. The measure deals with the appropriation process.

The measure limits how the Constitution could control that process. Under the measure the Constitution could not require the Legislature to fund state functions based on 1) Predetermined constitutional formulas; 2) How much other states spend on a function; 3) How much any entity spends on a function.

Under the measure these limits on the Constitution's power to control appropriations would apply even if: 1) A later constitutional amendment changed the Constitution, or 2) A Constitutional amendment to the contrary was passed at the same time as this measure.

Thus under the measure, once adopted, the measure could not be effectively amended. Nor could it be repealed.
