The following is a list of documents generally required when applying for a home loan. For a fast and easy loan process, have the following items available when you talk to one of our Home Loan Experts:
Having the necessary financial documentation ready when you talk to a Quicken Loans Home Loan Expert will speed up the mortgage process.
Quicken Loans has exclusive loan options for people with special financial situations such as being self-employed or paid on commission.
Your Home Loan Expert can answer any questions you may have, and help you determine what documentation you'll need for your specific situation.
1. Credit History
When you apply for a mortgage, Quicken Loans must access your credit report to know how credit worthy (or risky) you are as a borrower. The higher your credit score, the more likely that you will qualify for a larger loan, better loan options, and/or a more favorable interest rate . In order to access your credit report, we'll need to know your Social Security number and date of birth.
2. Signed Purchase Agreement
The purchase agreement is the contract between home buyer and home seller that defines the terms and conditions of the sale. It's possible to get approved based on your income and asset information, but having a signed purchase agreement makes the process faster and easier.
3. Proof of Income
In order for us to be sure that you are able to make your mortgage payments, we need to see proof that you have a source of income. You'll usually be required to show original pay stubs for the last 30 days. You may also show two years' worth of W-2s (see #4 below), a verification of employment (VOE) or two years' worth of tax returns. How you prove your income can differ based on your situation, and what home loan is best for you. Your Home Loan Expert will explain what type of proof of income you'll need to show.
4. Copies of Your W-2 Forms
Advantage1st No Doc Home Loan
Your W-2 forms will help your lender verify that you are employed and will show your income history.
5. Copies of Asset Information
To qualify for a mortgage, you need to be able to show that you have some money for the closing costs. Acceptable sources of funds may come from other homes with equity ; a savings or checking account; proceeds from the sale of a house; stocks, bonds, mutual funds, a 401k or a money market account; or gift funds. For some home loans, you may need to show statements and/or investment records for these accounts.
6. Copy of Your Earnest Money Deposit
The earnest money deposit is a deposit made by a buyer towards the down payment in evidence of good faith when the purchase agreement is signed. The deposit becomes part of the down payment if the offer is accepted, is returned if the offer is rejected, or is forfeited if the buyer pulls out of the deal. Be ready to show a copy of the earnest money deposit if asked.
7. Copy of Homeowners Insurance
Just like when you show proof on insurance when buying a car, you have to have homeowner's insurance to verify that you'll have sufficient coverage on the property when getting a mortgage. Homeowners insurance covers any damages that may affect the home's value.
8. Copy of Title Insurance
Title insurance protects a buyer against any errors in the title of the property. Having a copy of your title insurance will help verify the legal description of the property, the taxes, and the names on the title.
Once you've begun the loan process, your Home Loan Expert will let you know exactly what documentation you'll need to get approved.

Getting Pre-Qualified or Pre-Approved. What's Better?
Confused about what getting pre-qualified or pre-approved means? You're not the only one. There's a big difference between a mortgage pre-qualification, a pre-approval and an actual mortgage approval.
Getting Pre-Qualified for a Mortgage
Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage helps give you an idea of how much you might qualify to borrow. But since you have not actually applied for a loan, and the lender only has your word on your credit, income, assets and liabilities, a home loan or mortgage amount is not guaranteed. With a pre-qualification, no information has been verified. If you receive a letter from the lender, it may only state that you are likely to be approved for a mortgage.
Getting a pre-qualification can be easy and fast. At Quicken Loans, you can get an online mortgage pre-qualification in minutes.
Getting a Pre-Approved Mortgage
A pre-approval goes one step further than a pre-qualification. When getting pre-approved, you may receive a letter stating how much you qualify to borrow. Your lender will pull your credit report and find out what liabilities you have. However, not everything (namely your income and assets) is verified.
Pre-approvals don't always guarantee financing since the buyer's information has not been verified. Think of it this way: a mortgage pre-approval is like getting a pre-approval letter in the mail for a credit card. You can't go to the store and buy anything with that letter—you have to have the approved credit card. Having a firm mortgage approval is like having the actual credit card.
And unfortunately, sometimes not all buyers are completely honest or accurate when they give their financial information to a lender. It's not unusual for some buyers to inflate their income or savings. Issues like these have caused many real estate agents and home sellers to distrust pre-approval letters.
The Solution - a Power BuyerSM Approval
Power Buyer - Get more bargaining leverage than a pre-approval!
The best way to guarantee that you'll have the financing to buy the home you really want is to skip the pre-qualification and pre-approval processes. Quicken Loans offers an exclusive Power BuyerSM approval a mortgage approval* that's good for four months while you shop for a home.
With a Power BuyerSM approval, all of your information will be verified and you will know exactly how much you can spend on a house. Therefore, you won't waste time looking at homes outside of your price range.
While it's helpful to be pre-qualified or pre-approved for a home loan, it doesn't always guarantee you'll be approved for a loan. A pre approved mortgage ensures your financial information has been verified, and really puts real estate agents and home sellers at ease. At the same time, you're in control when making an offer to a seller. They'll know you're a serious buyer who's ready and able to make a deal.
If you would like to learn more about the getting approved for a home loan, call us at 800-251-9080 and talk to a Quicken Loans Home Loan Expert today.
*With a Power BuyerSM, your loan will close as long as the property gets a satisfactory title and appraisal and your financial situation remains the same.

Interest-Only Mortgages
An interest-only loan is one that gives you the option of paying just the interest or the interest and as much principal as you want in any given month during an initial period of time after your closing.
At Quicken Loans, we offer a variety of interest-only home loan options, including 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and adjustable-rate mortgages. Our interest-only home loan programs are offered as interest-only loans for periods of either three, five, seven or ten years.
For many, the most appealing feature of an interest-only loan is that you control your payment amount and your cash flow in any given month during the interest-only period, and your monthly mortgage payment will be lower than it would be with an interest plus principal payment. Your interest rate may or may not be lower than a traditional mortgage, depending on your specific situation, but you will have the option of flexible payments.
Who Is an Interest-Only Home Loan For?
There are a number of good reasons to consider an interest only loan. For instance, it might make good financial sense. On a traditional 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, roughly 70% of the payment goes toward interest during the first six or seven years of the loan. If your interest rate is low, then you've borrowed money at a good rate.
SmartChoice Interest-Only Home Loan
Instead of paying down that low rate loan, you could take the extra money you'd have each month from making interest-only payments, and invest it in something that would bring you a higher rate of return. Depending on your loan amount, you could have access to thousands of dollars over the course of several years to invest or reduce high interest debt, including credit card debt.
An interest-only home loan may also be a good option for people who expect to be in their homes for less than ten years. The average homeowner stays in their home between five and seven years. As mentioned before, home mortgage payments are mostly interest for the first years of the loan. Many homeowners like the option of making interest-only payments and using the extra money as they please - save for college tuition, make home improvements, or buy a much-needed new car.
Common Misconceptions About Interest-Only Loans
While an interest-only loan may be an appealing option to many, there are a number of common misconceptions that you should be aware of prior to making any final decisions.
One common myth is that if you're not paying down your loan's principal, you're not building equity in your home. This is not necessarily true. Homes in the U.S. have been appreciating between 5 and 6% a year. Chances are that even if you're not paying down your principal, you're building equity in your home through appreciation.
You should also know that with any Quicken Loans interest-only home loan, there are never any prepayment penalties. You can refinance anytime.
Is an interest-only home loan right for you? Talk to a Quicken Loans Mortgage Expert today to help you decide at 800-251-9080.

Home Office Essentials Part Two
Welcome to Part Two of our series of articles on home office essentials. The last article discussed ergonomics and office furniture and your working environment. This next article will
take that a step further and also look at the computer aspect of your home office.
Decorate It
Some people design their home offices to be like a real world office. They take it that step too far though and strip their
home office of all character and warmth. There's no need for your home office to be sterile and boring. In fact it should be
just the opposite.
Seriously consider adding plants. They're a healthy decoration in so many ways. The colour green has a positive affect on our
thought patterns. This combined with the fact that plants filter toxins from the air around us is another great reason for having a "green" office.
Hate those motivational posters you saw in work? Do you know why? They never "spoke" to you as a person. They were just corporate spindoctoring that meant nothing to you. Choose one single motivational poster that speaks to you and put it somewhere you can always see it. Even if it only makes you smile once during a working day because it's cheesy that's a positive influence on you.
Last but not least consider having your mission statement printed out, framed and on your desk in front of you. You don't have a mission statement? Get one! Write it now!Your mission statement is the reason you started your home business - make sure you are reminded of this every single day. It will push you forward when you need encouragement the most.
Your Computer
Stop. This is the point where you need to be really, really honest with yourself. Computers are expensive and tempting. The question you need to ask yourself is "What do I need in my computer?" and not "What kind of computer do I want?"
Your home office does not *need* the latest superfast, supercool computer, printer, scanner, digital camera and external storage.
You want this stuff. You don't necessarily need it. Your business needs functionality. You business needs cost effectiveness. Buy what you need for your business. Do not buy
what you want for yourself.
Tips for buying your home office computer.
* Mid-range processor power
Ignore the super poweful, super expensive next generation processors.They won't help you type that document any faster.
* 512MB of RAM
This is a minimum. If you can afford 1GB get it. If you can afford more get it. More RAM is always better.
* 40GB hard disk
What are you going to put on a 200GB hard disk? MP3s, movies and games. In other words 200GB of distractions. 40GB - 80GB is more than adequate for home office use.
* 3D Graphic Accelerator
Next generation 3D chipsets are not essential business equipment. Most modern computers will have a 3D chipset by default. Simply don't go upgrading this because you're only doing it to play the latest games. Don't buy a distraction.
CDRW or DVDRW drive
If you value your business you'll value your data. A CD or DVD writer/burner gives you the ability to safely and quickly backup your data. Do not buy a PC without one.
LCD/Flat screens
MTV Cribs has sold more flat screen tvs than any marketing campaign could hope to. Will a 21" LCD screen make you work faster or better? Nope. CRT monitors are cheaper and do the same job. If its supplied as standard with the system then that's fine. Don't go spending money on an LCD upgrade.
Extended warranties
Sales people make large commissions from these. Do you really need a 5 year warranty on your computer? Will you still own the
same computer in even 3 years? Never take these warranties at face value.
Generic Brand Computers
Just because it isn't Dell, IBM, HP or Compaq doesn't mean it's cheap. Generic brands use the same components as and are
therefore equally as reliable as the big name brands like HP and Dell. Buy smart.
Refurbished systems
If the budget is tight and the spec is right then these are well worth considering. Be certain of what your warranty cover on such a system is though. Many refurbished systems only have a 90-day warranty.
Phone-A-Friend
Check with friends who have purchased computers recently. What problems did they encounter when buying their PC? Who did they buy from? What was the aftersales service like?
Printer
Does your business really need a top-of-the-range color laserjet that prints 7,000 pages per minute? Nope? Didn't think so.
Here's a brief list of questions you should ask yourself when buying your printer:
* Do you need color printing capabilities?
* How many pages per minute do you actually need to print?
* What is the cost per page for color and black printing?
* How much does replacement ink/toner cost?
* How many pages of black text can you get from each cartridge?
* How much desktop space will the printer require?
* Are updated drivers and tech support for this model readily available?
Hopefully this set of articles has proven useful to you. Again a few thousand words can't possibly encompass everything you need to know about designing and operating a home office. www.home-office-advisor.com is there for that purpose.

What hope for the first time home buyer?
First time home buyers across the globe are feeling the pinch as property prices continue to rise. From America to Australia and Spain to China the total value of residential property in the developed economies has risen by over £15 trillion in the last 6 years. Fabulous for anyone who already owns their own home as they are now happily sitting on a little goldmine, but for those who were too young, too cautious or who simply did not have the required deposit the picture does not look so rosy.
Buying a home for a first time home buyer is now out of reach for all but those on the highest salaries. Unable to buy, the would be home owner’s only alternatives are to stay in the parental home, or move into a rental property. Many choose the home rental route, but of course this only goes to fuel the buy-to-let market encouraging those looking to buy investment property. The more homes that are bought as investment property, the fewer are available for sale to first time home buyers and through the wonders of demand and supply theory, property prices are pushed higher again and further out of reach.
For years some first time buyers have held back waiting for the property ‘bubble’ to burst. This being the favourite phrase of the post-millennium property expert. In the UK they were convinced it would burst in 2003, they were so sure it would pop in 2004, and if it didn’t explode in 2005 they would eat their hats! Well, many had to eat their own words as well as their headgear in 2006 as they had to admit that maybe they had got this whole bubble thing wrong all along as new theories emerged as to the way people buying homes bought, and the market reacted. No crash in the foreseeable future now say those same experts, just the possibility of a slight slowdown in the relentless tide of rises.
Other first timers have been waiting for their salaries to improve before buying, but they too have been disappointed as property prices have risen far faster than wages, and instead of being closer to their dream home, years on they find themselves still first time home buyers in waiting as many are now worse off than they were before.
It is important to note that this is not a problem limited to a few unfortunates who did not jump onto the property ladder when they could or should have. This has reached political and social issue status in the UK. The statistical average number of first time home buyers here is around 40% of the total home buying public. It is therefore rather worrying to see that in each of the last three years this has fallen into the high 20%’s equating to around 100,000 less first time home buyers each year than there should have been. Numbers that bring a tear of joy to the eye of any rental property owners, but for the first time home buyer things have not looked too good.
It’s not all bad news though there is a glimmer of hope for the beleaguered masses. In the 2006 budget, the UK Government promised £970m to help key workers into their first homes, a number of organisations are launching schemes to offer private shared ownership where they fund a percentage of the property for a rental income, and of course there is the blossoming co-buyer market, something we know quite a bit about as we launched the co-buyer network 10 months ago. Co-buying offers the thousands of potential first time home buyers an opportunity to join forces to help one another onto the property ladder. Through doing this they multiply their buying power, divide all their costs and can afford to own what they want, where they want to live years sooner than they could possibly have done so on their own. There are many innovative options that are launching to help the first time home buyer, and we are hoping to bring as many as possible to you.

How to buy the perfect engagement ring and save $1000s
Buying a diamond engagement ring can be a risky business! For most of us an engagement ring is the third most expensive purchase we are likely to make, after our home and car. However I can guarantee you know much more about buying a home, or a car than you do about buying a diamond ring! This lack of knowledge opens up the opportunity for dishonest people to take advantage of you.
This generally takes the form of selling you a poor quality diamond ring for a higly inflated price.
How can you avoid the pitfalls?
There are some basic precautions you can take, which will significantly reduce the risk. Some of these include:
Get Educated - Research the subject of buying diamonds, in exactly the same way you would if you were buying a car. There is no substituted for this, and if you are willing to make the effort you can have more knowledge of the subject in 2 hours, than 95% of your fellow consumers.
Buy from a reputable source - Whether you decide to make your purchase online or at a Jewelry store, make sure you have some background on the store. Visit the store and ask the salesman questions to gauge his level of knowledge. I would suggest you avoid the Jewelry districts, simply because the competition is so fierce that it breeds questionable practices and half truths amongst the occupants.
Never buy a diamond without a certificate - Without a certificate you could quite easily buy a piece of glass set into an engagement ring setting and be non the wiser, but up to $5000 poorer. However a certificate alone does not guarantee a better deal, you need to be proficient in understanding exactly what it is telling you, and how each factor that is covered affects the price and quality of the ring.
Understand the 4 C's of diamonds - Most people know something about the 4 C's of diamond buying including, Cut, Clarity, Carat and Color. However very few people know how to each of the 4 factors interact to determine the price and quality of a diamond.
If you follow this advice you significantly reduce your chance of being fleeced by a dishonest salesman. Treat your purchase as a significant financial purchase. Set your budget up-front and do not go too much above or below the price you've set yourself. Try not to get to emotionally involved in the purchase and the outcome should be favorable.

Tips for Getting Your Home Loan Approved
Home Loan Tip #1 Pay Your Bills
It is very important that you always pay your bills on time and never miss a payment. When you have this type of history paying bills your mortgage lender will believe you will be just as responsible with your home loan. If you want to be approved for a home loan, be sure you are current on all your payments and have been making them regularly for some time before you apply for a home loan.
Home Loan Tip #2 Employment History
In general, when an individual has been employed in the same job for at least two years, or at least the same type of job for that amount of time, a home loan approval is more likely. So, if you have been in your same job for a year and a half and are considering quitting or changing jobs, but are also looking at buying a house, wait until your home loan is approved before you make any changes. Once you have your home loan, you can make any changes.
Home Loan Tip #3 Pay Debt Down
Your debt to income ratio is considered when you apply for a home loan. If you really want to be approved for a home loan then you need to make sure you pay off as many debts as possible in order to look favorable to the home loan lenders. A home loan is approved for individuals who have a low debt to income ratio.
Home Loan Tip #4 Savings
Before applying for a home loan, make sure you have saved at least 20% of the down payment and also have enough money to cover several months of your home loan payment. When you have enough money in savings to cover you if you experience financial difficulty one month or even two or three then the lender will be more likely to approve your home loan.

Insurance: Bridging The Long-Term Care Gap
Providing for adequate health care is one of the top concerns for today's seniors. And yet, many find themselves coming up short when that need is for long term care. With costs skyrocketing and government purse strings tightening, planning for such care has never been more important. Don't let long term care costs take you by surprise. Read on to make sure you're prepared.
My last two articles discussed in detail the gap that exists between what seniors need in long term care and what Medicare and Medicaid will cover. Combine that with the proposed Congressional bill restricting Medicaid nursing home coverage, and it's clear to see that seniors and those nearing retirement simply can't afford to ignore this important issue.
How you approach your long term care needs, which include custodial and skilled nursing in-home care, assisted living facilities and nursing home care, depends greatly on your economic situation. For those with low incomes and little assets, there are few choices. Most likely, should the need for long term care arise, you'll quickly spend down your assets and easily qualify for Medicaid.
For those with an annual incomes exceeding $75,000 and with assets of $500,000 or more, you could simply pay for it out of pocket. But with nursing homes costing thousands of dollars a month and some seniors needing years of such care, even a well-lined nest egg could experience a drastic drop in value. A more prudent approach would be to purchase long term care insurance and use that to pay for any long term care you or your spouse may need.
The real conundrum exists for those seniors of moderate means, those with incomes between $30,000 and $50,000 who have a few hundred thousand dollars in assets. Long term care needs could gut your life savings and impoverish the healthy spouse. But long term care insurance can be very expensive and hard for these seniors to afford.
Long term care insurance is complicated and there are many issues you must understand when considering it. My next article will be devoted purely to better understanding long term care insurance and what to look for when buying it.
If purchasing long term care insurance isn't an option for you, there are still some strategies you can use to cover that care should you need it. Selling your life insurance policies, called a life settlement, is one option. Reverse mortgages can also free up needed cash. Selling your home, however unpleasant that may be, can also provided needed funds. But in all of these strategies it is better to leverage those proceeds by using them to buy long term care insurance, if possible.
But for now, let's consider some issues that none of us like to think about, but will greatly influence how we each address our long term care needs. When someone is no longer able to care for themselves, usually the healthy spouse, if there is one, will take over the care. Few seniors, wealthy or not, are quick to dip into their savings to hire nurses or other care givers to help out.
The result is that the healthy spouse often sacrifices their own health and well-being to care for the sick one. We've all seen it happen, how the 'healthy' spouse becomes exhausted and emotionally spent trying to meet the overwhelming needs of the other.
If they're lucky, their adult children will step in to help shoulder the burden. Some families have gone on like this for years, with sons and daughters spoon feeding their parents and changing their diapers. The emotional toll on the family in these situations is indescribable.
How much easier life is when seniors take active steps to provide for this care properly. Then the family can spend their emotional and physical strength on cherishing their loved one, without ruining their own lives in the process.
No one can predict with certainty how their end-of-life will go. But the fact remains that nearly half of all seniors will need nursing home care. Those who don't are likely to need some kind of outside help. Plan now for how you're going to provide for your long term care. Your health, and the health of your loved ones, depends on it.

Individuals that are placing their e-book resell rights on the market are mostly likely the original author of the e-book. This gives them the ability to place restrictions on the reselling that you are allowed to do. If these restrictions exist, they should be outlined before you agree to do business.

The best way to find private label ebook resell rights is by looking for a private label ebooks resell rights membership program which will save you more time and money if you would looking them individually, and also the membership site must be offering unique private label ebooks resell rights on monthly basis, if a membership site offering the same ebooks with private label resell rights that everyone are selling on the web then please do not consider joining that site.
Individuals that are placing their e-book resell rights on the market are mostly likely the original author of the e-book. This gives them the ability to place restrictions on the reselling that you are allowed to do. If these restrictions exist, they should be outlined before you agree to do business. Depending on what these restrictions are, they may have a positive or negative effect on your ability to sell the e-book. Common restrictions include advertising methods, the altering of materials, or author rights. In many cases, you are not only able to sell the e-book, but change a portion of it and then claim it as your own, but this is not always the case except the ebook came with no restriction private label rights which entitled you to do anything you want to do with them.

Detailing the Process of How to Build Sauna Rooms in Your Home
We have all heard about the wonders that staying for a few hours in a sauna can provide for the tired person. While there are many ways that you can enjoy these benefits of soaking the steam into your body the best way is probably to build sauna room units. You will be able to find different companies that will provide you with various sized pre-cut sauna rooms.
Some of these companies will also help you with the assembling of the sauna room that you need. You can also find various manuals and articles that will detail the process of how to build sauna rooms in your homes. A few of these materials can be found on the internet and in other cases you can find books on building saunas at your local library and book shops.
The best way to build sauna rooms is to look for a good location for the sauna. You can find the various items that you need for the sauna from companies that supply water resistant wood.
To build sauna rooms the best type of wood that you can buy and place inside of the sauna is that of Cedar wood. This wood is water resistant by nature and it is also stain resistant. You will also be able to clean the sauna once you gave finished using it.
Additionally you will need to locate stones that have the ability to withstand the constant heating and cooling that is needed in a sauna. Therefore when you are buying these sauna stones to place in your sauna stove you should buy good quality Finnish stones. When you about to build sauna needs to have a place set in the center for the sauna stones.
The roof of the sauna should be high enough so that the heat will not press too much on you. You can make this roof level about seven to eight feet about the ground of the sauna. You will have to ensure that when you are about to build sauna shed that any metallic pieces are not showing or protruding outside into the sauna itself.
For the various inhabitants of the sauna you will need to provide long and wide benches. These benches should be attached to the walls in a manner where you won't have any problems with the benches moving aside.
While you are able to create the perfect sauna in your home you may feel less stress when you buy a ready to assemble sauna instead of seeing if you can build sauna rooms with the various pieces that you have.

Home Building - Home Theater Sound Technology
One of the most important advances in home theater has come in sound technology, which now bring the feel of cinema sound into your living room. There are four technologies to choose from - surround sound, Dolby Prologic®, Dolby Digital®, and THX.
Surround Sound
The first big breakthrough in home theater was the evolution of surround sound, which was first introduced in 1982 by Dolby Surround. Dolby Surround works by decoding the surround channel so that it's played back like it was recorded in the movie sound studio.
Dolby Pro Logic
The next step in home theater sound technology came in 1987 with the advancement of surround sound with Dolby Pro Logic, which is able to decode an active center channel to its own speaker. This allowed for clearer dialogue and for the left and right front speakers to be spaced farther apart to give a richer distribution of sound.
In simple terms this technology decodes and converts two channel stereo audio from your VCR, DVD or TV into four channels of audio (by going to your surround speakers) - giving your current system the quality it needs for a true home theater experience.
Dolby Digital
The newest surround sound technology from Dolby is Dolby Digital®, which provides six discrete channels of full range sound: front center, front left, front right, rear left, rear right, and the bass or subwoofer. Dolby Digital technology also allows for more decoding options, so that program material recorded in Dolby Digital can be played as mono, stereo, Dolby Surround or Pro Logic, or to the full 6 channel capacity.
While Dolby Digital offers a better separation of channels and the addition of individual channels for both surround speakers than its predecessor Dolby Pro Logic, you still need a Dolby Pro Logic decoder because of the amount of material that still uses the traditional two channel stereo sound (and only a Dolby Prologic can break those two channels into four for a fuller surround sound). Luckily you won't need two separate decoders because Dolby Digital has a Pro Logic decoder built right in. If you're planning on buying a Digital Versatile Discs (DVD) or High Definition Television (HDTV) than you'll want to go Dolby Digital - it's as close as you'll get to the sound and feel of movie theater without having to leave your sofa.
THX
While THX sounds like it is a brand name, it is actually a licensing technology for home theater equipment, which is used to ensure the highest standards for the best reproduction of theater-type sound. Dolby and THX often work together to create a high quality home theater experience. In short, THX has become the five star standard for acoustics and speaker placement and certifies the equipment that is most capable of playing the best sound.
Thanks to a THX patent, sound which was originally created for the movie screen is now suited for a smaller and closer environment - your home theater. Be sure that your home equipment is certified THX otherwise you're not getting the real thing.
While it comes with a high price tag, the advantages of a THX audio system over standard surround systems are clearer dialogue, easy bass reproduction (great for action movies with lots of explosions), enveloping surround sound and wide frequency and ranges.

A Zero Cost Technique To Triple Your Response
Ok, so you have your marketing message sorted now. You are speaking about what your prospects want. It is clear that you have a competitive advantage, and what you are offering presents great value. Yet still they hesitate! What will get them to make that call? Read this article to find out how to triple the number of prospects.
Trust is the key to all profitable relationships.
A prospect becomes a customer when they part with money to you, to either solve a problem or fulfil a desire. Many of the steps to get them up to the decision process of spending are well known. There is however one final thing that will help finally close the sale.
This article briefly explores the steps to getting to the point of the close, and then uncovers that final clincher, that will help you see your sales triple. And it should not cost you a penny.
In order to create a relationship that leads to a customer buying from you, and hopefully becoming a customer for life, you need to build trust. It needs to be clear to your prospect that you have something that they want, and that they can get it from you.
So how do you go about creating that need - that realisation that you have something they want? I have covered this in other articles, but the main driver, is that you speak to them, in their language about their problems.
How to create the evidence that you deliver what you say.
Next you have to get them to believe that you can deliver what you promise. The easiest way to do this is through testimonials and references. Pick a couple of references, from amongst your satisfied customers that share the same issues as your current prospect. Show them that you have indeed solved very similar problems before.
Your testimonials should ideally include both a time and a value statement. This basically says what value the customer got from your offering. This way, your future customer will have a comfort factor, to help them make that decision.
But is your solution right for them?
Many sceptics may say that, just because it is right for the guy down the road, dose not mean it is going to be right for me. They need to see this offering working for them. In many instances, you should build into your sales and marketing plan, budget to do trials with the customer. You need to prove that it can work for them.
It is vital, with all trials to have a plan, that helps the prospective customer, follow a set of actions with the trial, which clearly demonstrates the benefits of your offering.
Is it however possible to get your money with out having to do a trial? I mean when you walk into most shops, they won't let you take the items home to trial them out, and then go back and pay for them!
But they do give you a mechanism to ensure that you get what you pay for. That if the product does not do what it says on the tin, and then you as the customer are protected. So how do they do that?
Offer a 100% money back guarantee.
Just as you want to ensure that what you buy will work, so do your customers. Yet today few small businesses offer that money back guarantee! I have been told by so many business owners, that I just don't get it! There is no way that they could afford to do that.
But stop! Put yourself in your customer's shoes. If you can not take the risk, and you created the offering - then why should they take a risk? You need to be 100% certain that you are selling a product, fit for purpose, to your customer. They need to be certain, they need to see you put your money where you mouth is!
When your customer knows that you are confident, they will be more confident giving you their money. Especially when they know that can get it back if they are not satisfied.

Solving Educational Problems at the World's Most Recent Personal and Professional Problem Solving Site
Introduction
The aim of this article is to introduce to the world the educational solutions module (http://www.triplacc.com/educational/education.html) of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site (http://www.triplacc.com/). The article is addressed to those readers who may have an educational problem bogging them and who may therefore be looking for a way out of their predicament. The reader may be a parent, child, or student.
The approach that we have adopted below is to describe competitive offerings, the customer profile, problem-oriented solutions, target markets, product offerings, and usability features.
Competitive Offerings
The following are the top educational sites on the Internet, along with their offerings.
US Department of Education (http://www.ed.gov/index.jhtml). It defines the US education policy and provides information on financial aid, educational research and statistics, grants and contracts, and teaching and learning resources.
Educational Testing Service. It provides a range of test resources.
FunBrain.com (http://www.funbrain.com/). It provides educational games for K-8 kids. PrimaryGames.com (http://www.primarygames.com/). It provides fun learning tools and games for kids. GEM (http://www.thegateway.org/). It provides educational resources such as lesson plans and other teaching and learning resources.
Education World (http://www.education-world.com/). It provides advice on lesson plans, professional development, and technology integration.
NASA Education Enterprise (http://education.nasa.gov/home/index.html). It provides educational materials and information relating to space exploration. Spartacus Educational (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/). It is a British online encyclopedia that focuses on historical topics. Department for Education and Skills (http://www.dfes.gov.uk/). It is a UK government department site that offers information and advice on various educational and skills topics. Times Educational Supplement (http://www.tes.co.uk/). It offers teaching news, teaching & educational resources, and active forums to help UK teachers. All these sites are useful in the domains that they cover. Their main limitations are as follows:
1. They tend to cover only a very narrow segment of the educational market. 2. They do not take as their starting point the daily educational needs of the typical family. 3. They lack a problem focus; i.e., they do not formulate the typical learning and educational problems that pupils, students, and parents face on a daily basis. 4. As a result of the preceding point, the solutions offered are not as incisive (i.e. as problem-centred) as they could be. 5. They do not offer merchant products that deepen the visitor's understanding of her problem and of the consequent solutions.
The educational solutions module (http://www.triplacc.com/educational/education.html) of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site (http://www.triplacc.com/) addresses these problems by targeting a multiplicity of market segments, adopting a customer profile that fits the typical education-pursuing family, considering the specific needs or problems that this family may face, offering incisive (problem-centred) solutions to the various problems, and offering a range of merchant products that deepen the visitor's appreciation of her problems and of the solutions that are applicable to them.
Customer Profile
The customer profile or target visitor characteristics of the educational solutions module (http://www.triplacc.com/educational/education.html) is the same as for all specialist sites of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site (http://www.triplacc.com/). The site has been designed to meet the needs of visitors who have an educational problem bogging them. It is designed for both males and females, even though it is often convenient to refer to just one sex when writing.
This visitor uses search engines to research information about her personal or professional problem, with the intention of finding solutions to it. The visitor is serious about solving her problem and is therefore willing to buy products that help her to achieve her mission, provided that she can find reliable and honest information about relevant products so that she can make an informed decision about which ones to acquire. This information will help her to apply her finances economically, and hence avoid wasting money.
The visitor will want a money-back guarantee so that if a product does not live up to expectations or if she were misled into buying a product she can get a refund. Such a guarantee absolves her of purchase risks.
The visitor is intelligent (without necessarily being a genius), educated (without necessarily being a PhD), computer literate (without necessarily being a computer guru), and money-minded (without necessarily being a freebie hunter or an unemployed person). This of course does not mean that freebie hunters or unemployed persons cannot gain a thing from the site. To the contrary, there is a great deal of free information on the site. Just that it is hard to see how anyone can gain the full benefits of the site without buying products.
The visitor wants high quality information products (usually in digital form) and wants to pay the cheapest price for these (without paying so much emphasis on price that she compromises quality). The visitor also wants free bonus offers that are attached to the purchased goods.
The visitor is self-reliant and can cope on her own by reading, digesting, and applying advice about her problem until she solves it or discovers that she needs help from a professional, at which point her acquired knowledge will help her to reduce her consulting fees. As a result of the knowledge gained, the visitor will be able to assess consultants in order to avoid incompetent or fraudulent ones.
Problem-Centred Solutions
Our free solutions are organised in the form of pragmatic articles that are written by top experts. Each article addresses a specific daily problem, but does not go into detail. It explains the problem and tells the visitor what she must do to solve her problem. However, it does not tell the visitor how she must solve it - this is too much for an article. To find out about the how, the visitor must buy a product (usually an e-book or e-book set) that goes into greater depth.

The article has examined competitive offerings, the target customer profile, problem-oriented solutions, target markets, and product offerings. It concludes that the module is a major contribution to the information superhighway.
About the Author
A A Agbormbai is the editor and webmaster of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site (http://www.triplacc.com/) - a web site that fills a vacuum on the Net. He has a PhD from Imperial College London and enjoys an interdisciplinary upbringing having worked or studied in aerospace engineering, information systems development, and management. The educational solutions module (http://www.triplacc.com
The aim of this article is to introduce to the world the educational solutions module (http://www.triplacc.com/educational/education.html) of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site (http://www.triplacc.com/). The article is addressed to those readers who may have an educational problem bogging them and who may therefore be looking for a way out of their predicament. The reader may be a parent, child, or student.
The approach that we have adopted below is to describe competitive offerings, the customer profile, problem-oriented solutions, target markets, product offerings, and usability features.
Competitive Offerings
The following are the top educational sites on the Internet, along with their offerings.
US Department of Education (http://www.ed.gov/index.jhtml). It defines the US education policy and provides information on financial aid, educational research and statistics, grants and contracts, and teaching and learning resources.
Educational Testing Service. It provides a range of test resources.
FunBrain.com (http://www.funbrain.com/). It provides educational games for K-8 kids. PrimaryGames.com (http://www.primarygames.com/). It provides fun learning tools and games for kids. GEM (http://www.thegateway.org/). It provides educational resources such as lesson plans and other teaching and learning resources.
Education World (http://www.education-world.com/). It provides advice on lesson plans, professional development, and technology integration.
NASA Education Enterprise (http://education.nasa.gov/home/index.html). It provides educational materials and information relating to space exploration. Spartacus Educational (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/). It is a British online encyclopedia that focuses on historical topics. Department for Education and Skills (http://www.dfes.gov.uk/). It is a UK government department site that offers information and advice on various educational and skills topics. Times Educational Supplement (http://www.tes.co.uk/). It offers teaching news, teaching & educational resources, and active forums to help UK teachers. All these sites are useful in the domains that they cover. Their main limitations are as follows:
1. They tend to cover only a very narrow segment of the educational market. 2. They do not take as their starting point the daily educational needs of the typical family. 3. They lack a problem focus; i.e., they do not formulate the typical learning and educational problems that pupils, students, and parents face on a daily basis. 4. As a result of the preceding point, the solutions offered are not as incisive (i.e. as problem-centred) as they could be. 5. They do not offer merchant products that deepen the visitor's understanding of her problem and of the consequent solutions.
The educational solutions module (http://www.triplacc.com/educational/education.html) of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site (http://www.triplacc.com/) addresses these problems by targeting a multiplicity of market segments, adopting a customer profile that fits the typical education-pursuing family, considering the specific needs or problems that this family may face, offering incisive (problem-centred) solutions to the various problems, and offering a range of merchant products that deepen the visitor's appreciation of her problems and of the solutions that are applicable to them.
Customer Profile
The customer profile or target visitor characteristics of the educational solutions module (http://www.triplacc.com/educational/education.html) is the same as for all specialist sites of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site (http://www.triplacc.com/). The site has been designed to meet the needs of visitors who have an educational problem bogging them. It is designed for both males and females, even though it is often convenient to refer to just one sex when writing.
This visitor uses search engines to research information about her personal or professional problem, with the intention of finding solutions to it. The visitor is serious about solving her problem and is therefore willing to buy products that help her to achieve her mission, provided that she can find reliable and honest information about relevant products so that she can make an informed decision about which ones to acquire. This information will help her to apply her finances economically, and hence avoid wasting money.
The visitor will want a money-back guarantee so that if a product does not live up to expectations or if she were misled into buying a product she can get a refund. Such a guarantee absolves her of purchase risks.
The visitor is intelligent (without necessarily being a genius), educated (without necessarily being a PhD), computer literate (without necessarily being a computer guru), and money-minded (without necessarily being a freebie hunter or an unemployed person). This of course does not mean that freebie hunters or unemployed persons cannot gain a thing from the site. To the contrary, there is a great deal of free information on the site. Just that it is hard to see how anyone can gain the full benefits of the site without buying products.
The visitor wants high quality information products (usually in digital form) and wants to pay the cheapest price for these (without paying so much emphasis on price that she compromises quality). The visitor also wants free bonus offers that are attached to the purchased goods.
The visitor is self-reliant and can cope on her own by reading, digesting, and applying advice about her problem until she solves it or discovers that she needs help from a professional, at which point her acquired knowledge will help her to reduce her consulting fees. As a result of the knowledge gained, the visitor will be able to assess consultants in order to avoid incompetent or fraudulent ones.

Treat your Ohio home and your Ohio home financing as an investment
Treat your Ohio home and your Ohio home financing as an investment
If you read the personal Ohio finance articles in magazines and newspapers, more than likely you've seen many articles that tell you to exclude your home equity from your projected net worth at retirement. Ohio financial planners or the journalists who quote them say that homes make for relatively poor investments; and because you will still need a place to live after you retire, money tied up in a house certainly won't do you much good.
Regardless of what the media reports, Ohio housing has always been the leading source of wealth for most Americans. Historically, however, the media have primarily focused on dire talk of Ohio housing peaks and bubbles. Take this quick review of headline stories and so-called expert advice from the last 50 years.
* The prices of Ohio houses seem to have reached a plateau, and there is reasonable expectancy that prices will decline. (Time, December 1, 1947)
* Ohio houses cost too much for the mass market. Today's average price is around $8,000--out of reach for two-thirds of all buyers. (Science Digest, April 1948)
* If you have bought your Ohio house since the War . . . you have made your deal at the top of the market. . . . The days when you couldn't lose on an Ohio house purchase are no longer with us. (House Beautiful, November 1948)
* The goal of owning an Ohio home seems to be getting beyond the reach of more and more Americans. The typical new house today costs about $28,000. (BusinessWeek, September 4, 1969)
* Be suspicious of the "common wisdom" that tells you to "Buy now .... because continuing inflation will force Ohio home prices and rents higher and higher." (NEA Journal, December 1970)
* The median price of an Ohio home today is approaching $50,000. . . .housing experts predict that in the future price rises won't be that great. (Nation's Business, June 1977)
* The era of easy profits in Ohio real estate may be drawing to a close. (Money, January 1981)
* In California . . . for example, it is not unusual to find families of average means buying $100,000 houses. . . . I'm confident prices have passed their peak. (John Wesley English and Gray Emerson Cardiff, The Coming Real Estate Crash, Warner Books 1980)
* If you're looking to buy be careful. Rising Ohio home values are not a sure thing anymore. (Miami Herald, October 25, 1985) * Most economists agree ... [an Ohio home] will become little more than a roof and a tax deduction, certainly not the lucrative investment it was through much of the 1980s. (Money, April 1986) * We're starting to go back to the time when you bought a home not for its potential money-making abilities, but rather as a nesting spot. (Los Angeles Times, January 31, 1993)
* Ohio financial planners agree that houses will continue to be a poor investment. (Kiplinger's Personal Financial Magazine, November 1993)
* An Ohio home is where the bad investment is. (San Francisco Examiner, November 17, 1996).
* Your Ohio house is a roof over your head. It is not an investment. (Everything You Know About Money Is Wrong, Karen Ramsey, HarperCollins, 2000)
In the late 1940s, $8,000 to $10,000 seemed like an outrageous amount to pay for an Ohio house. In the late 1960s through the mid 1970s, $30,000 to $50,000 seemed well beyond anything reasonable. In the early 1980s, popular belief held that at $100,000, home prices in California could only go down. Today, similar comments about peaks and bubbles are being raised. But just as those past voices now sound foolish, so too will current opinion as we look back from the future.
Can some Ohio home prices soften or decline in the short run? Sure. They have done so before and will do so again. Local Ohio economies ebb and flow, but over periods of 5, 10, 20, or 30 years, well-selected properties will continue to register high-profit appreciation.

Estate Agents
Estate Agents have a primary objective of becoming the number one agent of choice. Property For Sale Guide has become an online archive holding information about estate agents, which tend to concentrate their energies on a relatively large geographic and social area that have been sought to identify those service enhancements upon which some other industries thrive. As a result, they have allowed their businesses to expand as fast as providers of estate agency support services can think up new agency software, phone systems, digital printing, internet services, virtual tours etc.
These products are also being offered to their competitors, and it is only a matter of time before their latest bells-and-whistles gismo is in daily use by the agent next door. Although estate agents have embraced the innovations as interactive, they have not forgotten to develop the intangible with property for sale guide, which is undoubtedly opening more opportunities and also becoming a part of a database that is open for anyone's perusal on a worldwide basis.
We aim to accumulate estate agents not just in Europe but also globally, giving users a further opportunity to search for their ideal property with our advanced, quick search facility.
If you want to buy a property or sell one, perhaps you should be asking yourself a few basic questions.
Does your estate agent measure up? - whether you are buying or selling a property, make sure you use an NAEA member. Effectively this is an important issue. What is an NAEA member?... The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) is the UK's leading professional body for estate agency personnel, which represents the interests of over a staggering 10,000 members who practice across all aspects of property services both in the UK and overseas. These will include residential, commercial sales and lettings, property management, business transfer and auctioneering.
Whether you are looking to buy, sell, let or even rent a property, the first principle when searching for an agent is to find out whether they belong to a professional body like the NAEA. Why?... Since all members have to complete a minimum entry qualification and are bound by rules of conduct to offer you a fair deal, without overvaluing your home and also providing access to a complaints procedure and a solid understanding of the market. Selecting an agent who is a member of the NAEA will at least safeguard your peace of mind, as well as the highest level of integrity and service available.
Being qualified to having a membership of the NAEA is on an individual basis and will include principals, partners and directors of agencies and employees working in agencies. Usually only those companies which have Principal, Partner or Director as a Member are entitled to use the NAEA logo.
It is good to know that The National Association of Estate Agents is dextrously dedicated to the goal of professionalism within high street estate agency. There is no need for concerns as their aim is to reassure the general public. What do they get?... Appointing an NAEA member to represent them simply means they will receive in return the highest level of integrity and service in both sales and lettings. So whether you are looking for a local estate agent, or one further a field, start your search by selecting an NAEA member.
Responsibilities Of Estate Agents:
The sale, letting or purchase of a commercial property or business requires a high degree of technical knowledge and access to specialised marketing. The success or failure of a business could well depend on the choice of the right property in the best possible location - also know as the geographical status.
Estate agents are there for helping to buy sell or even let your premises. If you are looking to acquire or dispose of commercial property, whether office space, industrial, retail or investments, etc, you will need specialist help and advice of an NAEA member who is conversant with your requirements. This is important. Commercial agents can guide you through the use class system, the ongoing possibilities of tenure, other planning and environmental considerations and so forth. This undoubtedly equips you with information you will require to assess any implications for your property's potential and realise its full resource value.
Marketing and finance is another responsibility that estate agents take on board. NAEA members specialise in commercial properties fully and will therefore be able to understand the market better. They are also in constant contact with the best sources of finance for business purchase. They can assess the financial status of potential buyers and refer them to financial organisations, should capital be needed. They will also work closely with your legal and financial advisers, or even with mortgage brokers if it is a requisite.

Good Nursery Furniture - A Gift for your Bundle of Joy
Shopping for the child in the mother's womb or a newly born baby is an experience to hold on to. The feeling of giving birth to life is unparalleled and the emotional bond shared by the child and its parents is beyond explanation. The first thought that runs across the minds of new parents is that of providing every comfort in the world to their bundle of joy. You wish your child were bestowed with all the worldly comforts that one can think of. Quality nursery furniture becomes the immediate necessity in your plans for the kid.
After you are done with giving attractive paint to the walls of the room decked up with baby themes like Disney characters or nature, it's time for buying the right nursery furniture for your child. The first item on the top of your list is the crib. The styles of baby cribs have undergone sea changes from a simple crib to multi-functional and multi-featured cribs. The folding features enable the cribs to become rocking cribs to small bed to big bed.
A very small child requires lots of clothing, such as diapers and blankets that need frequent changing. Multi-storey bassinets, that form an indispensable part of nursery furniture, meet this requirement. A baby hammock is another vital equipment that pleasures your baby gently with rhythmic movements. Modern baby hammocks come with all the paraphernalia like frames, slings, and mattresses to keep your child cozy and comfortable.
The latest Amish furniture comes fully loaded with every multi-functional system. Amish made furniture provides the missing link in the modern nursery furniture. Your child needs the strength of Amish oak furniture to ensure that it can bear the load of your loved one. Moreover, the child will grow up appreciating the artistic work of Amish craftsmen that produce quality furniture articles by painstakingly working on every single piece.
Coming back to the most important nursery furniture article - the crib, make sure that it has no loose ends that could hurt the baby. Any protruded nooks in the crib mean a potential injurious situation for the child. The crib must be such that even an accidental fall is not possible. A crib with adjustable height enhances the safety of the child. The safety aspect of the crib is most vital to look out for. Always insist on the furniture that complies with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association guidelines.
The baby is your most prized possession and you'll never want your child to accidentally lick some toxic paint on the furniture. Always insist on non-toxic paint finish on every furniture article accessible to the child. If the baby has not yet learnt to balance its own weight, use the strapped furniture articles. The chairs and tables for the kids usually come with straps that can protect the baby from accidental fall.
Here's a list of common nursery furniture items that are an absolute must to pamper your child to the hilt - crib, bassinet, rocking chair, baby hammock, stroller, perambulator, high chair, baby swing, baby carrier...Cannot stop because you want everything for your bundle of joy!
