If you own a home, or looking to purchase a home you are probably familiar with the two main mortgage types. Those two types being the traditional fixed mortgage and the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). A fixed-rate mortgage provides you with a fixed interest rate and payment for the life of the loan, typically 15 to 30 years. An adjustable rate mortgage, on the other hand, fluctuates throughout the life of your mortgage. They both have their benefits and drawbacks, so it is important to understand them both when selecting a mortgage that is suitable for your needs.

Many buyers are drawn by the initial low rates that adjustable rate mortgages offer. These mortgage types, commonly offer very attractive, initial mortgage rates. This is where it is important to not get tempted by the attractiveness of the initial interest rates inherit with adjustable rate mortgages. Most notably, if you plan to stay in your home for more than five years. It's important to note here that in proper selection of adjustable rate mortgages are causing numerous problems in the housing industry today. For many individuals, they purchased adjustable rate mortgages, because it was all they can afford during an escalating housing market. The thought was that they could always refinance when their initial low interest rate turned higher. This provides a very valuable lesson, as these individuals are learning the hard way that in declining housing markets, its next to impossible to get refinanced. So, the adjustable rate mortgage holder is really left with two choices, one to stick with the mortgage, even if the monthly payment doubles or even triples. Or the second choice to just walk away and foreclose on the home loan. Unfortunately, many homeowners have no other choice but to choose the latter and walk away from the American dream.

Building a home – house, cottage or chalet? It’s not only the home with its fixtures that are major considerations in terms of Feng Shui but also your choice of lot or what might be considered plot or “the plot”.

Some home buyers or builders will place great emphasis and cost on the physical building itself yet play little attention to the “land” or lot itself. Yet years later when it comes time to sell that beautiful home, that investment, the lot itself may be the limiting factor in the basic selling price of their home. It may be the physical location - a 2 million dollar home facing a group of older rental duplexes for example. If you think of it as a potential home buyer – who wants to spend that kind of money, spend big dollars on city and municipal taxes every year and yet come out each morning and view a less than elaborate residential neighborhood view when paying such good money for a property. Ultimately every home has a buyer at a given price. With a less than optimal choice on a lot a house may sell for a lot less than had the home builder spent a higher percentage of the total building budget on the lot.

What can be said about lot choice in terms of Feng Shui?

In Feng Shui, a square shape, is it a lot, a room, or a table. Denotes stability and balance. Qi is able to flow freely, unobstructed. Ideally, your house should be situated in the center of a lot, allowing qi to circulate around the structure and through its windows and doors. Your occupants will be nourished and satisfied. Next in opportunity in lot purchases and availability are rectangular lots. If your dwelling is situated a front of the lot, Qi flows in and accumulates in the back area of the land.

Your wealth and health will be secure and safeguarded. Think of it all as being similar as a wealth person with lots of cash in the bank to provide a...

Buying a home overseas can mean owning a small piece of vacation paradise, but it can also equal a major headache. From differing ownership and property title laws to navigating an overseas market, foreign home ownership can be complicated. If you're thinking about purchasing an international vacation home, keep reading for some tips that will help save you money.

1. Always Hire a Local Lawyer

Don't settle for just an estate agent or a lawyer that may be recommended. Instead, hire your own local real estate lawyer - local, that is, to the property. An experienced legal mind can help you understand all the title and residency requirements you'll need to know as a foreign owner and investor.

2. Consult a Local Immigration Lawyer

Having a vacation home in the south of France, for example, won't help you if you're not allowed to live in it. Before you purchase foreign property, make sure you are aware of all the residency and immigration rules, particularly if you plan to spend the majority of the year in your overseas vacation property. Regardless of which home is your primary residence, there are tax implications to take into account.

3. Hire a Property Manager

If you're purchasing an overseas vacation home that will be dormant or empty for the majority of the year, give serious consideration to hiring a property manager to take care of the grounds, opening the house during the season, keeping an eye on the property and watching for potential problems.

Alternatively, if you plan to rent out your overseas home as a vacation spot, a local property manager can help you take care of passing on keys, maintaining the property, screening potential renters, keeping an eye out for vandalism, and overseeing payments. The property manager will take a percentage of your rental profits, but a reliable person will be we...
