Getting a mortgage today is vastly different than 10, five, three, even one year ago. In anattempt to protect consumers, the government has implemented steps that lenders arerequired to go through. Mortgage backed securities are not desirable commodities dueto the number of foreclosures and short sales. The impact of reps and warranties hastrickled down from investors to the originating lenders, whereby lenders are document-ing files so thoroughly as to ensure no stone has been left unturned.
With all of the challenges mentioned above, there are still a lot of positives.Rates are low! Housing prices are affordable! Banks are lending money! Here are a few
things to help you navigate a successful course in obtaining a mortgage:Have the following documents readily available for your lender: last two years’ tax returns—
complete copy (if self-employed, include business returns & current P&L), last two years’ W-2s, mostrecent year-to-date paystub, last two months’ bank statements—all pages, even if blank. If you area recent graduate—your transcripts, offer and acceptance letter from your employer, and make sureyou are not still on probation! If you have had a divorce, then your divorce decree, property settlementagreement, and (if applicable) child support agreement will be required documents. Most of all, be COM-PLETELY honest with your lender. There are a host of “behind the scenes” search tools that are usedtoday to fully research all borrowers, and your lender will uncover undisclosed items.
Please be patient and understanding. Once you have furnished requested documents, your lend-er will do a thorough review. If there are deposits on your bank statements that are not related to youremployment, you may be required to explain and document these. Inquiries on your credit report notrelated to the lender you are getting your loan through will need to be explained as well. Tax returns canalso generate a host of questions that need to be addressed. The more forthcoming with information youare, the smoother your transaction will be.
And as a daily reminder: focus on the end goal. You are purchasing the place you will call your home!
Mortgage TipsElizabeth Ralstin, Hancock Bank
Phil and Victoria Klusswill be getting the lastword on tomato stains onmarble thisweek, onlybe-cause their solution is sointeresting, and they sentme before and after pho-tos to boot.
“We got out the colorbymaking a poultice with
food grade diatomaceousearth and hydrogen per-oxide,” theKlusseswrote.“Mix them together soyou have a thick paste,cover the stain and thencover with plastic wrapuntil the mixture driesout.”
___Question: I have blue
stone/slate floors in mykitchen. They were here
when we bought thehouse.
Several years and twodogs later, they are reallydirty. A regular washingdoesn’t do the trick. Anycommercial cleaner I callsays they don’t clean thistype of floor.
Help,beforeIhostholi-day dinners!
Answer: Oddlyenough, I recently tried a
poulticeof talcumpowderandhydrogenperoxide onthe part of our quarry-tilekitchen floor where ourbeagle used to show herannoyance with us.
I hadsomesuccess, butmy thought is that I’llneed a floor washing ma-chine to really do the job.
___What about other
stains?
Reader Joan Fry usesthis procedure to removecopper and rust stains,and she says it works ev-ery time.
Placeadrypaper towelon the stain, pour lemonjuice on the paper toweland cover the juice withtable salt.
Let it set overnight.The stain should be gone.
Reader Karen Dantehashad success removingsuperficial etching frommarble using Marble Pol-ishingPowder (MB-11),byMB Stone Care, availableonline at www.mbstone-.com.
It is an abrasive pow-der that requires a bit ofelbowgreaseandisrathermessy.
___Q: I’ve discovered that
our basement cedar clos-et now has a musty odorand some of the clothesthat have been kept therefor a while have moldspots on them.
We’ve been in thehouse for over 17 yearsand this is the first timeI've noticed this.
I don’t see any signs ofwater getting into thecloset. Could this mustyodor/mold creep in if thedoor was left open? It isusually kept shut.
A: I don’t believe thatwater has to appear in agush to cause this kind ofproblem. Our summersare increasingly warmand humid, and the closetmight just have becomedampandlackedtheprop-er ventilation to dry outcompletely.
Cedar needs to be re-newed periodically to doits primary job, deterringmoths and bugs fromfeasting on fabric.
The experts recom-mend that the cedar besanded using fine-gradesandpaper at the end ofeach season. This will ex-pose a new layer of thewood to the air, and allowthe natural oils in thatfresh layer to evaporateand release their aroma.
___
Q: I have a 22-year-oldhouse. In thegarage in thepast two years, the dry-wall tape is falling off theceiling.
We keep the garagedoor open about 6 inchesso the cat can go to andfrom.
The walls are sheet-rock andboth thewall andceiling only have primerpaint/sealer on them.
Why is the tape comingoff, will thewall start fall-ing apart, and could thisbe stopped?
A: We had the same is-sue in our master bed-room, which gets mistywhen we take showers,and discovered that thereason for it was that thetaping had not been doneproperly.
I tore off the tape andredid it. No problem.
It appears that thereisn’t an excessive amountof moisture, but when pa-per tape gets damp anddries out a couple oftimes, it tends to comeaway from the joint.
I used fiberglass tapethat sticks to the joint, andthis ended my problem.

I was surprised tolearn that a perfectly sen-sible neighbor owns ablow-up raft and oars, notbecause she’s planning awhitewater adventure,butbecausetheraftmightcome in handy in a flood.
A friendwhohas neverplanted a thing besidesgrassmentioned stockpil-ing seeds — for subsis-tence farming.Crazy, yes,but then again, he hasmentioned fear of a zom-bie apocalypse.
I was not even a littlesurprised to hear of thereality TV show “Dooms-day Preppers,” which of-fers extreme examples ofpeople getting ready forwhichever awful waythey think theworld is go-ing to end one of thesedays.
Most of the time, thoseof us not on reality TVdon’t give much thoughtto trying to manage with-out electricity or heat orcellphoneorInternet.Butthe recent “superstorm”Sandy in the Northeasthas people talking aboutwhole-house generatorsandtheadvantagesofbur-iedpower lines, saysMikeBaughman, operationsco-
ordinator in theEmergen-cy Management Depart-ment of the Unified Gov-ernment of WyandotteCounty and Kansas City,Kan.
The good news formost of us is thatwe prob-ably won’t get a hurri-cane. And probably noapocalypses, zombie orotherwise.
But for some there arethe deadly threats of icestorms and tornadoes.Other possibilities in-clude a hazardousmateri-al incident or a pandemicflu.
Any or all of which iswhyyouought to considerputting together a kit ofemergency supplies.
People expect thatwhen somethingasdevas-tating as Sandy goesdown, FEMA and theAmerican Red Cross willshow up the next day. Butthat’s not always realistic.If you can sustain your-self through “the first 72hours (of acrisis), thenweas the government canstart tohelpresolve the is-sue,” says Jennifer Fales,coordinator of trainingand outreach in KansasCity’s emergency man-agement department.
Include emergency essentialsin your home survival kitBy Tim EngleThe Kansas City Star
THREE THINGS EVERYONESHOULD HAVE ON HANDBe prepared to get by onyour own for at least threedays. The American Red Crosssuggests having enough foodand water for two weeks incase you’re stranded. Makesure you have:Water: At least 1 gallon perperson per day, to be usedfor drinking, hygiene andfood preparation. You canbuy bottled water, but stor-ing tap water in clean 2-litersoda bottles works, too.Food: You need a three-daysupply of nonperishablefoods that don’t requirecooking. Examples: peanutbutter, jerky, nuts, proteinbars; canned meat, vegeta-bles, fruits, soup. Comfortfood is a good idea, too, suchas cookies, candy bars, instantcoffee, tea bags. If you havekids, pick foods familiar tothem. If you have a baby,make sure you have formula,diapers, etc.Life-sustainingmedica-tions: Have an extra seven-day supply.Don’t forget your pets. Havefood and water for them.Also: leashes, carriers, toys.OTHER ITEMS THAT MIGHTCOME IN HANDYA complete change of weath-er-appropriate clothing andfootwear per personA first aid kitBattery-operated or hand-crank radio, plus extra batter-ies.Flashlights and extra batter-ies. AA lithium batteries aresaid to have a 10-year shelflife.Cash (there's no guaranteeATMs or credit card machineswill work in an emergency)and an extra credit cardCell phone with charger. Evenold cell phones can be usedto call 911; just keep themcharged.WhistleToothbrush, toothpaste,soap, toilet paper, babywipes, etc.Spare eyeglasses, hearingaids, etc.
Emergencies supplies including a light stick, emergencyblanket, flashlight, peanut butter, multi-purpose tool andweather radio make for a survival kit that can help seeyour family through a disaster. ALLISON LONG/KANSAS CITY

High-rise uptown con-dos and strands of subur-ban apartment communi-ties continue to be built,proof that bigger is notbetter for everyone.
And home furnishingcompanies are catering tothis expandingmarket.Asaresult, consumerscanfitlots of newcomforts into amodest footprint.
With a smart approachto design, smaller spacescan be efficient, elegantand welcoming, expertssay.
Here are some of theirtipsformakingeventheti-niest small space some-thing special.
Scale down – Sleek,clean lines and simple de-signs do better in smallspaces, says home designand staging expertWendyField, owner of Field Con-sulting in Charlotte, N.C.The improved futon Bed-dinge sofa bed from Ikea(starting at $279) has thatuncluttered look thatkeeps a room feeling spa-cious.
Smaller appliancesmight also be the bestchoice. Refrigeratordrawers can be builtalongside the lower cab-inets. A small washer canbe stored in a closet.
Makeeverythingmul-titask – Use tables andchairs in different shapesandsizes.Somepiecescantransition from dinner-time buffet to office orhomework space. Choosea small chest of drawersfor a bedroom nightstandforextrastorage.Acoffeetable should also havestorage.
Choose movablepieces – Ottomans andchairs or a guest bed canbe in the middle of theroom one minute, thenpushed against the wallthe next tomake room formorepeopleorgames.Forexample, a one-bedroomCharlotte condo has asmall galley kitchen thatopens to the living room.The stools can be used forseating or as side tables,says designer Cathy DielofDielDesign&Interiors.Many ottomans also havestorage areas.
Use vertical space –Preventing clutter is a
challenge inasmall space,says Jennifer Foresman,
senior manager of trendand design for Home De-pot. Shelves and cabinetscan conceal personalitems, as well as the bedwhen it's not being used.The same approach tokeeping things tidy can beused in an office.
Splurge – It makessense to spend a littlemore to dress upapowderroom or tiny kitchen, be-cause pricy materials willbe used in small quanti-ties. Use high-end floor-ing, wallpaper or marblethat you could not affordina largespace,Foresmansays.
Las Vegas designerTaylor Borsari decoratedapowderroomwithsilver-leaf pattern on limestonetile from Walker Zanger.The sink is concrete.
Be bold – Color is theleast expensive way todramatically change aroom. Vibrant tones arefine for a small space,Foresman says. Contrast-
ing colors can have a hugeimpact, giving a room di-mension or drawing theeye to architectural de-tails. Diel recommendslimiting the palette to twoor three colors. A widestripe behind the bed canmake the ceiling feel tall-er.
Your goal should be tostriveforanefficientfoot-print. For example, openfloor plans are well suitedtosmallspaces.Theideaisto use every space in asmanyways as possible.
Laptops and other por-table devices make it pos-sible to work almost any-where, so you’re less like-ly to find someone sittingalone in a room behind alarge desk.
Another helpful trendis streamlined furnish-ings. The grand pieces offurniture fromyearsgoneby clutter smaller spaces.Even the television takesuplessspacetoday,thanksto flat-screen designs.

FAIR HOUSING ANDLOCAL RULESBy: Cathy L. Lucrezi, Attorney at Law
The federal fair housing law bars discrimination based on anindividual’s race, color, religion, sex, familial status, nationalorigin, and handicap. Florida law bars discrimination onthe same bases. Although these seven “protected classes”are fairly well known by housing providers, what manypeople don’t realize is that local laws can create additionalcategories of protection.
A county or city can enact its own fair housing law bypassing an ordinance or resolution. Sometimes, when thisis done, the local law mimics what the federal and state lawsrequire. However, many opt to create additional restrictions.
For instance, under the federal and state law, it is okay todiscriminate on the basis of marital status. Not so in MartinCounty! In Martin County, a landlord cannot refuse to rentto an unmarried couple just because they lack a marriagelicense. The same is true of Palm Beach County, PinellasCounty, and the city of Sarasota (to mention just a few).
InBrowardCounty, in addition to the sevenprotected classesof the federal law, it is unlawful to discriminate againsttenants and applicants on the basis of sexual orientation,
age, marital status, and political affiliation. Martin Countyadds ancestry to the list and the city of Sarasota addsveterans.
Sometimes, the difference between legality and illegalityis the city line. A gay couple in Orange County has no fairhousing protection unless they are within the city limits ofOrlando. There, if they are refused housing because of theirsexual orientation, they can contact city government tomake an administrative complaint.
Although the local laws are not so well known, theynonetheless pack a punch. Violations of the local laws cansubject the landlord to fines, damages, costs, and attorneyfees. The local laws can be used to get an injunction againstthe landlord.
If you are unsure what laws apply to your property, someresearch may be in order. You can call your local city andcounty governments and ask to speak to the departmentthat handles housing discrimination. Or, you can go to www.municode.com and look for the link to “online library”. Or,you can call our office at 1 800 253 8428.
Local laws change periodically. Thus, be sure you are gettingthe most up to date info when finding out what restrictionsapply to you.

QUESTION: Years agoweboughtamobilehome,butwe lease the lot that itsits on. The lot lease wasaffordable, but has goneup every year to the pointwhereit isdifficult topay.The landlord had told usthat the leasewouldgouponly if the taxes did, butwhen I recently read thelease contract it said itwould go up 5 percent ev-ery year, which it has. Isthereanythingwecando?– Andy
ANSWER: Probably
not. Generally, contractscan be either written orverbal, but the “StatuteofFrauds” is a rule of lawthat requires certaintypes of contracts to be inwriting to prevent injuryfrom fraudulent conductor just the uncertainty ofmemory. For example,contracts related to thetransferofrealestate, forthepurchaseofgoodsval-ued at more than $500,guaranteeing anotherperson’s debt, and con-tracts that can’t be com-pletedinoneyearmustallbe in writing to be valid.
In your case, the lease
contract is for more thanayearandthereforemustbe in writing. Further,most contracts contain aclause that states that theentire agreement is inwriting and that any pre-vious verbal agreementsare not valid.
Sometimes when awritten agreement isvague, verbal commentsmade about the lease canbe used to help the judgeinterpret what wasagreed to, but when thewritten agreement isclear, as in your situation,oral evidence can’t beusedregardingtheagree-
ment. Because youragreement falls into thecategory that must be inwriting and is clear aboutthe 5-percent annual in-crease, it appears you arestuck with what wasagreed to in the contract.
Even if the agreementwas not required to be inwriting, a written agree-ment will hold muchmore weight with thecourt than conflictingmemories of what wassaid years ago.
Still, you may want tospeak with your landlordand see if you can worksomething out. You can
move your mobile home,and the landlord may de-cidethatatenantpayingalittle less is better thananempty lot.

A written lease trumps any priorverbal agreements that were madeBy Gary M. SingerFort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel
SAN FRANCISCO — SanFrancisco could soon behome to some of the tini-est apartments in thecountry: studios for up totwo people that include abathroom, kitchen and aminimalist living areameasuring 10 feet by 15feet.
The Board of Supervi-sors onTuesday approvedlegislation allowing con-struction of up to 375 mi-cro units as small as 220-square feet. Buildingcodes previously had re-quired that apartment liv-ing rooms alone be thatsize.
Several city lawmak-ers said they were wor-ried that sanctioningapartments so smallwould exacerbate, ratherthan help, San Francisco’sshortage of affordablehousing by driving uprents for bigger places.
The itsy-bitsy studiosare expected to fetch$1,300 to $1,500 a month.The average studio apart-ment in the city now goesfor more than $2,000 amonth.
The board voted 10-1 toallowthemasa limitedex-periment, ordering cityplanners to come back af-ter 325 of the efficiencyapartments have been ap-proved with a report out-lining what they rentedfor and their impact onconstruction of biggerunits.
Already common incrowded cities abroadsuch as Tokyo and Paris,downsized urban dwell-ings are becoming morecommon stateside. In Se-attle, where zoning re-quirements have allowedscaled-back studios toflourish, developers areputting up buildings withapartments measuringbetween 100 and 200square feet and dorm-likecommunal kitchens.

Jerry McFarland, CIPTBA President - 2012
Tallahassee Area Ranks High in Housing AffordabilityThe evidence continues to mount that
Tallahassee home shoppers are enjoying a“buyer’smarket.”Actually, it’s a trend beingseen across the country as historically lowmortgage interest rates are helping makehomesmore affordable to median-incomefamilies even as house prices continued toinch up in many metro areas.
According to the National Associationof Home Builders/Wells Fargo HousingOpportunity Index (HOI), 74.1 percent ofall homes sold in this year’s third quarterwere affordable to families earning theU.S. median income of $65,000. This wasup slightly from the 73.8 percent of homessold that were affordable tomedian-incomeearners in the second quarter.
In the Tallahassee area, the median-priced home of $146,000 is affordableto 85 percent of households earning themedian income of $64,300… making thecapital city region the 80thmost affordablehousing market in the nation.
“The latest housing affordability datais good news on two fronts, because itshows that the share of homes affordableto median-income earners has risen evenas home prices have continued to graduallyrecover from their recession lows,” saidNAHBChairman Barry Rutenberg, a homebuilder from Gainesville.
“This is primarily due to the fact thatmortgage rates are now lower than we’veseen them since the HOI was initiatedmorethan a decade ago,” added Rutenberg.
“That said, given today’s overly tight lendingconditions, we know that it remains verydifficult for potential buyers to qualify forand obtain those great rates.”
Nationwide, the median price of all newand existing homes sold in the third quarterwas $189,000, whichwas up from$176,000in last year’s third quarter, according toNAHB Chief Economist David Crowe.
The NAHB/Wel ls Fargo HousingOpportunity Index is a measure of thepercentage of homes sold in a given areathat are affordable to families earning thatarea’s median income during a specificquarter. Prices of new and existinghomes sold are collected from actualcourt records by CoreLogic, a data andanalytics company. Mortgage financingconditions incorporate interest rates onfixed- and adjustable-rate loans reportedby the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

COLUMBUS, GA. –Looking out my officewindow, I can see threebaldcypress trees thatap-pearonfirewithablazeofred.
Ever since I made myfirst trip to the Frio Riverin Garner State Park, Ihave been completelysoldout to thisnative tree.
Along the Frio, they givesense of having beenthere since Texas historybegan.
After more than a doz-en years at the Columbus,Ga., Botanical Garden,they are among the mostpicturesque in the land-scape. Ours are part of agreat conifer display fea-turing the evergreen Jap-anese cryptomeria andthe dawn redwood, which
was once thought extinct,though the cypress is notevergreen.
Down below, close tothe buttressing trunk,there is another dazzlingshow on the forest floor.Lacy fern-like leaves thathave dropped yield a car-pet of red,with themyste-rious cypress kneesemerging all around. Allwho see it try to capture itwith a camera.
The opposite color ofthis fiery red fall color isgreen and the leaves ofadjacent sweet bay mag-nolias prove to be a per-fect foil.
Many of youmay thinkTexas or Florida when itcomes to thebaldcypress,known botanically as Tax-odium distichum. Incred-ibly it has a huge nativerange of 21 states, as farnorth as New York. Don’t
think of it as a swampytrash tree either becauseit isn’t. It is a superiorlandscape tree that willgrowonalmost any soil. Itcommonly reaches 50 to70 feet high and 20 to 30feet wide.
It can grow beautifullyfrom the Gulf Coast toSyracuse, N.Y. The fo-liage is gorgeous, turningfrom green to a fiery or-ange in the fall. The barkis an attractive reddish-brown and is especiallynoteworthy when itreaches a stage of but-tressing. The seeds feedseveral species of birds,including wild ducks.
The cypress knees,which people see in theswamps and fear will de-velop in the landscape,aremuchmoreprominentin the presence of reallymoist conditions.
Bald cypress trees al-most always are sold ge-nerically, but one varietythat is simply incredibleis called Sentinel. Thesetall trees were narroweror more conical in shape.Even in the winter theystood out in the gardenlikemassivepiecesof finestatuary.
When you buy yoursandyouarereadytoplant,dig the hole two to threetimes as wide as the rootball, butnodeeper.Formabermaroundtheroot zonethat is large enough tohold 5 gallons of water.Thiscomes inhandywhenwatering. The berm canbe removed in the secondyear.
Whenyouarereadyfora tree, why not considerone of the prettiest na-tives in the United States,the bald cypress?
Native bald cypress shows off with fiery shades of redBy NormanWinterMcClatchy-Tribune News Service
The bald cypress thrives in 21 states along the easternseaboard and is considered to be one of the best trees forthe landscape.MCT

NEWPORT NEWS – It’s fall foliage timein the tiny town of Sugarland.
As the weather turns cool and crisp, lifechugs on – the dairy farm supplies milk tothe sugar refinery so the bakery and candyshop can provide lots of sweets for CandyCane Village residents.
The town, served by the Southern R&Rrailroad, is also home to the Donut PoliceStation, Red Hot Fire Department, GingerSnap Park and Rollo Golf Course. Kids at-tend the M&M Elementary and Sugar Highschool; Graham Cracker Farm is home tocows, pigs and chickens.
As Christmas approaches, residents lookout for a visit from the Polar Express.
Welcome to Patricia Moss’ backyard,host to Sugarland and the mini many resi-dents who dwell in her railroad garden.
“I love gardening andmy husband, Char-lie, and I like model railroads, so I’ve com-bined the two,” says Patricia, who lives inYorktown, Va.
“All buildings have candy or sugary-likenames, and most reside on Lemon DropLane.”
Patricia’s railroad garden – 200 feet of G-scale track winding through a 40-by-12-footspace – started in 1997, when she first laidthe track on concrete blocks. When moleskept disrupting soil under the blocks, Char-lie rebuilt the track on treated lumber sup-ported with plastic PVC pipe.
More than 50 colorful cookie jars in theshapes of houses and businesses make upmost ofSugarland’sbuildings.Patricia findsthem in antique and thrift stores, and manyare gifts from friends and family.
“I never knew that cookie jars came in somany wonderful shapes and colors,” saysDavid Taylor, a member of the HamptonRoadsHorticultural Society,which recentlyvisited the railroad garden.
“Charlie and Patsy have created a jewelright in their back yard,” he added.
While trains and buildings form Sugar-land’s energy, plants give the town MotherNature’s special ambiance. Such trees suchas pines, sweet gums and crapemyrtles arepruned to staysmall; nandina is anatural be-cause its tall, stalk-like presence naturallylooks like a clump of close-growing trees.CreepingJennyandmossareusedforgreenspaces.
“I covered concrete block with outdoorcarpet to set the cookie jars on and a beauti-fulmoss started growing there – perfect formy lawn in front of the houses,” Patriciasays.
Anyplantswith small leaves such as nan-
dina, Mexican heather, sedum, dusty millerand pencil trees are used tomake a realisticlook of a miniature town.
Garden Railwaysmagazine always has asection on miniature plants to use, but themain idea is to look for plants that resemblerealistic scenery for the trains’ background.A bonsai book can help you learn the art ofkeepingplantssmall, andgroundcoverswillspread quickly.
As winter nears, Patricia takes the build-ings indoors where she cleans and storesthem. The trains are never left outdoors,
even during warmweather. When the moodstrikesher, she’llbring themout torunwhileshe hasmorning coffee or at night when thetrain lights can illuminate the darkness.
“It’s like an expanded playhouse,” shesays.
“It’s also a tribute to my father, who diedwhenhewas 59 andwas stillworking for therailroad.My father was a pipe fitter, my un-cle an engineer andbothgrandfathersmadetheir bread and butter from the SouthernRailway.
“Forme, it’s displaying life inminiature.”
Homeowner combines love of modeltrains with backyard gardeningGARDEN RAILWAYTIPSPatricia Moss offers these tips oncreating a garden railway:Decide how large you want yourrailroad garden to be and whereyou want to place it.Plan your road bed – the sim-plest is floating track on ballast,or installing track directly onchicken grit (oyster shells) mixedwith fast-drying concretebought at hardware stores.Buy commercially made track ofG scale, which is available indifferent lengths for runningelectric or battery-operatedtrains. A battery-operated traineliminates the need to clean thetrack.Decide on a garden name, onethat allows you creativity andexpansion options.Create realistic scenery. Useminiature plants and buildings,relying on 3-inch people as yourguide. For example, doors onbuildings should be at least 3inches tall.
