From the Cafferty File: Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The crisis on Wall Street is enough to rattle any investor Let alone one who is about to retire or whos already living on a fixed income. 401(k)s and pension plans — many of which have exposure to these troubled companies — are taking huge hits as a result of this mess.

Secured Loans: Common Questions, Answered

August 14th, 2009
Charles Landa asked:


Secured loans can be an efficient short or long-term funding solution for UK homeowners. If you are in need of money and have equity in your property, you are eligible to apply for a secured loan. Secured loans are sometimes called “second mortgages” as they rank after your mortgage as security to the lender. Secured loans must be registered as a Charge on your property title at the Land Registry.

Why seek a secured loan rather than an unsecured loan?

The strong growth in UK house prices over recent years has meant that many homeowners have built up substantial equity in their properties. Secured loans are simply a flexible way for homeowners to release some of this equity. Compared with an unsecured loan, a secured loan has a lower interest rate as you are putting your home up as security. The lender will be very confident that the loan will be repaid. Another advantage is that secured loans offer more flexible terms of repayment than unsecured loans. For example, the loan term can be for a longer time period enabling your monthly repayments to be kept down. Secured loan terms can be from 3 to 25 years – it can sit alongside your mortgage if you wish or you can pay it off sooner. If you’re in need of a large sum of money, a secured homeowner loan can range from £5,000 up to £1 million. Unsecured loans are normally capped at £25,000.

What can I use a secured loan for?

A secured loan can be used for any purpose. A secured debt consolidation loan can help you refinance expensive debt, such as credit cards or bank overdrafts, on to a much lower interest rate. A secured home loan can be used to finance substantial home improvements to add value to your property, such as an extension or a new kitchen.

Why choose a homeowner loan rather than a remortgage?

A mortgage is your cheapest form of borrowing and if you want to raise a significant amount of money it is therefore logical that you should first consider a remortgage. However, your current mortgage may be arranged on advantageous terms or have an onerous early redemption fee. Redeeming your mortgage may just not make financial sense. In these circumstances it may be wise to leave your mortgage alone and use the flexibility of a secured loan, especially if the interest rate is only a little higher than your mortgage rate. Finally, a secured loan can be completed in less than 20 days – somewhat faster than a remortgage – and at a lower cost. Remortgaging normally requires that you pay certain fees, such as a discharge fee, a valuation fee, a title insurance fee or an administration fee.

Can I safeguard my loan or mortgage payments against unforeseen events?

You can take out payment protection against specific events, such as unemployment, sickness or disability through Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). Remember that PPI is not always suitable for your individual circumstances and independent advice should always be sought before buying this product. Should the insured event take place, the policy will cover your payments for a fixed period of time, such as 12 months. You should also consider buying sufficient life assurance such that in the event of the death of the household’s main bread-winner, the loan or mortgage will be paid off by the insurance company.

How can I apply for a secured loan?

You have the choice of going direct to the lender or going to an intermediary, usually a finance broker. If you have shopped around and know what you want, you can apply direct to the lender via phone, internet, post or walk into their branch office. If you prefer to seek the advice of a finance broker you may benefit from their expertise in deciding what product and which lender is most suitable for you. This will be particularly true if your circumstances are unusual and you require a specialist product. It is also possible that a finance broker can find you a better deal as some products are only available through intermediaries.

How long does the secured loan application process take?

Depending on circumstances and personal needs, you may obtain a secured loan within 2-4 weeks. But, of course, each case is different. Normally, the consent of the first mortgage lender is required to register the secured loan on your property title and so the lender is unlikely to proceed before consent is obtained.

What factors may negatively influence the secured loan application?

When you apply for a loan it is normal that you will be asked to consent to a search at a Credit Reference Agency, such as Experian or Equifax. The purpose is to avoid fraud and for the lender to assess your credit worthiness. Some factors may have an adverse effect on the secured loan application, such as:



Bankruptcy or Individual Voluntary Arrangement

Low income or self-certification of income

Mortgage or rental arrears

Frequent job changes

Frequent address changes

High indebtedness

Court judgments



But even with a poor credit record, you have a good chance of obtaining a secured loan providing you have plenty of equity in your property. However, you may be asked to pay a higher interest rate if your credit score is low.

Is it important to seek independent, impartial advice?

There are literally thousands of loan and mortgage products available. As we only tend to purchase financial products infrequently, you will not know which products are available or suitable without a serious research effort. For this reason, we believe that most people should seek independent, impartial advice, especially as mortgages and secured loans normally represent a substantial commitment. This should not cost you any more as the advisor is normally paid directly by the lender.

What are the drawbacks of a secured loan?

Although there are many benefits of a secured loan, there are some drawbacks that should be mentioned. In cases where a borrower fails to repay a loan, the property could be taken into possession and sold. Borrowers can also be tempted to borrow large sums for long periods without appreciating the commitment to repay a significant amount of interest, even when interest rates are low.

Homeland Security Michael Chertoff:Another 911 w/o REAL ID

July 23rd, 2009
artbell asked:


Alert – Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff Threatens Another 911, If States Do Not Comply With The REAL ID ACT !!

CNN VIDEO -

Don’t Believe the Hype that the mainstream news is telling you that the REAL ID has been pushed back to 2009 !!

This machination is nothing more than a built-in part of the Acclamation of the American People to Accept the Real ID. Come On Everybody – Haven’t you seen this crap before ???

- Government comes out with a bold new plan !
- There is resistance from the public !
- Several Congress people and media elites start speaking up
against it – The DEBATE begins about it !!!
- Hope is falsely instilled in the public, even in those that are
fighting against it, that the government will not go through
with the plan !!
- The government states some kind of change or oversight
of the new plan !!
- There is cheering and a sense that the people speaking out
was heard by the government and the government backed
down !!
- The people relax in their false victory !!
- Then BAM !!! The government sneaks around, implements it,
colors it in law, corporations and good citizens comply and
it becomes a way of life !!!

THE ONLY REASON WHY THE STATES ARE BITCHIN’ ABOUT REAL ID IS BECAUSE OF THE COST, PERIOD.

BIG BROTHER IS TRYING TO IMPLEMENT HIS PRISON GRID ON THE CHEAP. IF HE CAN GET OTHER PEOPLE TO PAY FOR HIS SURVEILLENCE STATE, THEN HE WILL. IF HE CANNOT, THEN HE WILL PRINT SOME FAKE MONEY UP AND PAY FOR IT !!

DON’T THINK HE IS A CHEAP ******* ??

HE IS ALREADY MAKING THE PEOPLE PAY FOR THEIR OWN MICROPHONE AND CAMERA SURVEILLENCE WHEN THEY PAY
THEIR CELLPHONE BILL EVERY MONTH !!!

GEORGE ORWELL FORGOT TO MENTION IN HIS BOOK “1984″ THAT THE PEOPLE WOULD GLADLY PAY THEIR MASTERS TO SPY ON AND CONTROL THEM !!

DON’T BE LULLED BACK TO SLEEP – REAL ID IS COMING – READY OR NOT !!

AND IT WILL BECOME A PART OF THE NEW AMERICAN WAY. IF YOU WANT A JOB, YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE A REAL ID. IS EVERYONE READY TO SACRIFICE THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING IN ORDER TO NOT BECOME A SLAVE ????

THAT IS THE QUESTION BEFORE US ALL ??????

Vacation Rental Home Security Systems

July 15th, 2009
Brent Vanderstelt asked:


Vacation home security is now more important than ever. With rising unemployment, vandalism due to high scrap prices for copper, metals and aluminum, and longer times between visits due to high gas prices or airline fees.

While foreclosure rates remain high, even for vacation homes or second homes, criminals will be seeking crimes of opportunity.

Some of us turn to time-share properties as a more affordable alternative. Each of these two forms of vacation home ownership present unique home security issues.

If you own your own vacation home and live there either seasonally or on a weekend basis, you’re leaving your second home unoccupied for significant periods of time. You’re also establishing a pattern of occupancy that any savvy intruder can soon learn and use to his advantage. If you own a time-share property, you own a percentage of a vacation home. You’re sharing it with complete strangers who may or may not adhere to the same standards of security that you do. And, of course, you trust your time-share company to properly maintain and secure the property during those periods when nobody is staying there.

You may believe that merely applying the same safety practices you follow in your primary residence should be enough to protect your vacation home. But in fact, you need to go above and beyond the rituals of safety you’d observe in a home you live in on a more frequent basis. Homes that look unoccupied are easy targets. You’ve seen those homes with newspapers piled up outside or that appears pitch black at night when the rest of the neighborhood is lit. Consider the following guidelines for protecting your vacation home year-round:

Consider a GE Home Security System from your local Fortune Hi Tech Marketing representative. With FHTM and GE Home Security, it is now easier than ever to protect what means most to you. With customizable systems to meet your specific needs, keep your family, possessions and investments safe. GE is continually advancing new technologies that help homeowners monitor their properties, make schools safer, improve airline security, and more. Plus GE can integrate new security technologies with existing equipment and IT systems. Whether you need an entire system, or individual products, GE has the right technology to keep you safe.

Introduce yourself to your neighbors – particularly those who reside in your neighborhood year-round. Tell them what your schedule is, and ask them to keep an eye on things while you’re away. That doesn’t mean handing them a key, although you may wish to do so if you know and trust your neighbors well enough. And watching over your home doesn’t have to be a job to which you burden your neighbors; simply ask them to remain alert to your home’s appearance. Leave with your neighbors all of your contact numbers at your primary residence, so that they may contact you immediately in the event they spot suspicious activity. Give them verbal approval to contact the local police department in your absence, particularly if they spot suspicious activity and can’t reach you by phone.

Consider the personal items you’re leaving in your vacation home when it’s unoccupied. Anything expensive – including cars, computers, televisions, DVD players and stereo equipment – should be stored under lock and key while you’re away. Take photographs of all of your possessions in your second home, and store them in a safe at your primary residence for insurance purposes. Engrave your name on the back of your expensive electronic equipment.

If you own a timeshare property, find out from the management company exactly what kinds of security measures they have in place. This includes the policies to which maintenance staff are required to adhere. Find out if the management company replaces the locks on doors in the event that tenants lose a key.

For most homeowners, the acquisition of a vacation home is the culmination of years of hard work. That’s why you owe it to yourself and your family to obtain for your vacation home the most stringent standards of safety within your means.

With the GE Home Security lifetime replacement of parts warranty and state of the art UL listed technology, you can rest easy. The highest quality products, competitive pricing and up to 20% off of homeowner and vacation home insurance makes GE Home Security the leader in the industry. One button arming, pager features, door chimes and a 24 hour emergency button make around the clock peace of mind a reality. Let FHTM and GE Home Security give you the power to protect your family and your home.

Here are just a few of the reasons to trust your security with a GE Wireless Home Security System:

One Button Arming: You arm your wireless home security system by pushing a single button.

The Peacekeeper® wireless home security system comes with entry/exit delays at the doors you select, and you can also put these same doors and windows on instant alert with the push of a single button.

Pager Feature: The wireless home security system has a pager feature. Should your child not return from school at the proper time and turn off the system, the system can be programmed to page you.

24-hour Emergency Button: You have access to an emergency panic button that allows you to summon help 24 hours a day.

Battery Back-up: In the event of a power failure, your Command Station will automatically convert from AC to DC.

Door Chime: The wireless home security system will, at your request, act as a door chime. Should your child try to slip out a door unattended, the system will notify you?

Your security and the security of your guests is the most important concern, if you are considering a home or vacation home monitoring system, please contact your local Fortune Hi Tech Marketing Representative, a GE authorized dealer or visit this link to find a representative near you http://fhtmus.com/monaview.
