Consumer Focused Real Estate Carnival

I do apologize that this is going to be extremely basic, as I'm in the midst of moving this site to a new host.  I received six entries, of which I accepted five.

Host's Pick of the Carnival: The Digerati Life gives us a really terrific article on home improvement projects, Beyond Home Buying: How Building And Renovating Can Be The Biggest Investments Of Your Life, a sobering before the fact look at remodeling your home.  My father was a small contractor, and the stories I could tell you about remodeling and renovation would have anybody sane thinking three times about home remodeling, and Digerati Life gives you some excellent procedural advice, as well as a little bit of a "gut check."  Seriously folks, sometimes it's quicker, less expensive, and far less stress inducing to just move instead.

Salt Lake Real Estate Blog gives us Don't Take No For An Answer On Your Mortgage, talking about how you shouldn't just accept it if the first place you apply turns you down.  At the risk of beating our own drum, right now brokers are especially important for those with a lower credit score or less of a down payment or less equity than ideal.  Why?  Mortgage brokers deal with lots of different lenders, all of whom want that broker's business.

Myth # 6 Sellers Are Often Told That If The Buyer Cancels, They Can Keep The Deposit (easier said than done) from Silicon Valley Broker makes a good point.  Agents can never honestly tell clients that the deposit will or will not be forfeited - all you can do is say what may place it in jeopardy.  The only way to say for certain who gets the deposit is to answer the question "How did the courts rule?"

Edith Yeung.com Dream Think Act gives us The Money Series - Books that You Just Cannot Miss

My entry for the Carnival is from my other site, Good Intentions and Over-Extended Homeowners, looking at proposals to mitigate the current meltdown and the law of unintended consequences.

The Consumer Focused Real Estate Carnival will return in two weeks.  Contact me if you'd like to host!
