Get Positive Cash Flow from Lakewood Ranch Rentals

Adam S. Waxler

Lakewood Ranch, situated about 18 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico and about an hour south of Tampa, in both Manatee and Sarasota Counties, seems to bucking the national downward direction in home sales. Even though the rest of the nation seems to be hurting, Lakewood Ranch, an 8,500 acre master-planned community, has already sold in excess of 170 homes this year. As the president of Lakewood Ranch Commercial Realty Brian Kennelly recently stated, “Lakewood Ranch is without a doubt the growth corridor in the region and the state right now.”

Additionally, the overall Sarasota market is also picking up. Total sales are up approximately 4% on the year and the Sarasota Association of Realtors (SAR) recently informed us that Sarasota just got their second largest volume of sales in the past 6 years.

Having said that, what is important to keep in mind about all these stats that have been appearing lately concerning the Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota areas is that they are specifically discussing the quantity of sales or transactions, NOT the cost of the homes. While there is certainly evidence to suggest that Lakewood Ranch home prices are on the rise once again they continue to stay surprisingly low.

There are a number of reasons why home prices remain low. One, there’s still a reasonable amount of concern about the housing market nationwide and the national economy appears to have stalled once again. And two, it still is tougher to get a mortgage currently than it was prior to the housing collapse. Therefore, even though home prices are low, people are still hesitant to own a home and people who really want to buy a home may not have an easy time acquiring a mortgage. This, consequently, has kept prices low even in a place that generally seems to growing.

The good news is, this creates a market that is ideal for real estate investors. First of all, the fact that the national economy is still stagnant is keeping mortgage rates really low making investing in a home much more inexpensive. And, here’s the crucial piece the fact that home loans are tough to get together with the hesitancy of people to buy a home has produced a red hot market for rentals in Lakewood Ranch.

Rentals in Lakewood Ranch usually have various offers the very day they come on the market. With rents in Lakewood Ranch averaging $1/sq. ft. you will have a positive income right away. Not just that, but rent prices have actually increased in the last few years. The truth is, there is no doubt that the landlords are 100% in the driver’s seat in Lakewood Ranch.

KKE: Interview with the Greek Communist Party

Posted on Monday, May 16, 2022 in Uncategorized

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Wikinews reporter Iain Macdonald has performed an interview with Dr Isabella Margara, a London-based member of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). In the interview Margara sets out the communist response to current events in Greece as well as discussing the viability of a communist economy for the nation. She also hit back at Petros Tzomakas, a member of another Greek far-left party which criticised KKE in a previous interview.

The interview comes amid tensions in cash-strapped Greece, where the government is introducing controversial austerity measures to try to ease the nation’s debt-problem. An international rescue package has been prepared by European Union member states and the International Monetary Fund – should Greece require a bailout; protests have been held against government attempts to manage the economic situation.

Details emerge of Honda’s withdrawal from Formula One

Posted on Sunday, May 15, 2022 in Uncategorized

Monday, December 8, 2008

More details have emerged over the weekend after the surprise announcement last week of Honda‘s intention to sell its Formula One racing team, Honda Racing F1. The team management, Nick Fry and Ross Brawn, have already announced confidence in their ability not only to find a buyer for the team but also to deliver the performance expected of Honda’s 2009 car. Prices as low as £1 have been put forward as possible prices tags for the Northampton based team, with Honda CEO Takeo Fukui stating that “Just to make the team possible to exist, a small price tag is acceptable”.

On Saturday the Japanese car giant said that before selling the team it was going to offer British driver Jensen Button, who had given the Honda team its only victory, a way out of his recently signed multi-million pound contract with the team so he could try to get a drive with other teams. However, Ross Brawn appears eager to retain the Briton and either retain Brazilian Rubens Barrichello or sign GP2 driver Bruno Senna, nephew of legendary racer Ayrton Senna. At an industry awards dinner, Button indicated his desire for a buyer to be found for Honda, saying any buyer would get “… a great team with excellent facilities. And with the leadership of Ross Brawn, and the whole team as they are, we can come through this and be on the grid in 2009”. Button has also spoken of his shock and pain at Honda’s decision.

Ross Brawn, who was brought into the Honda team with much fan fare before the 2008 season, has spoken of his shock at finding out about the sale of the team. Brawn, who is credited with helping Michael Schumacher and Ferrari dominate Formula One for much of the last decade, indicated he was expected funding cuts and had prepared a reduced budget but hadn’t expected the full withdrawal of support that Honda announced. Brawn has also indicated understanding of Honda’s reasoning, with their sales down 40% in some markets and Honda F1’s £200m+ budget a cost they were unwilling to bear.

Though Honda has committed to providing a budget for the team until March, the budget is lower than that which had been expected and so the team has had to pull out of the crucial winter tests at Jerez. This has denied Formula One hopeful Bruno Senna another test with the team and has combined with the engine implications of Honda’s withdrawal to push the new car’s final testing from January to March, just weeks before the first Grand Prix in Australia. Ross Brawn however remains confident of competing with new Formula One frontrunners BMW Sauber and Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has tipped the team as a great buy, saying “I’ve no doubt Honda would have been in top four next year without any problems. They’ve spent a lot of money to put themselves in that position so if anyone does want to be in F1 this is a team they should look to buy. It’s a big opportunity for any company that’s run efficiently to benefit”.

Looking After Your Car’s Paintwork During Winter

Corolla Hybrid Sunshine Coast

The winter months can do untold damage to your car’s paintwork, if you don’t look after it. While it’s not so pleasant washing and cleaning your car on a cold windy day, you will be pleased you did when the spring arrives.

During the winter the roads get covered with salt to stop them freezing and the salt deposits stick to your paintwork like glue. The salt deposits then start to eat away at the paintwork and before long you find rust appearing in vulnerable areas, such as around the wheel arches. Additionally, salt left on windshield wipers can rot the blades.

Firstly, the best thing to do is to ensure that your car’s paintwork gets a good wax coating, before the bad weather sets in. This forms a seal over the paintwork making it more difficult for dirt and salt deposits to stick and eat into the paint. You can always tell a highly waxed car, because when it rains water droplets form over the car and run off easily.

Secondly, try to keep your car as clean as possible. Just a very quick spray from a hose pipe and rub over with a soft brush will remove any build up of dirt. You don’t need to dry the car, just simply wash it down and don’t forget to do around the wheel arches as this is where most of the dirt collects. During the winter dirt deposits may not dry out so they stay on your paintwork which can lead to rust forming.

Thirdly, always wash salt off the car as soon as you can. Obviously if the temperature is below zero it’s possible to wash your car. However, as soon as you know the temperature is above freezing, and is likely to remain so for a few hours, you need to get outside with warm soapy water and a brush. Give the paintwork a good wash down, especially along the sides of the car and around the wheel arches. Rinse off the soapy water with a hose.

If you have a garage then it’s best to put your car in it overnight. The garage protects the car from frost or snow and means that in the morning you are able to get in your car and drive off, rather than having to scrap your windows and wait for the car to warm up.

Once the winter is over and the warmer weather begins, you need to give your car a heavy duty clean. Even if you have followed all the tips in this article, your car’s paintwork will have deep seated dirt deposits. Wash your car a couple of times with a suitable car detergent, rinse it well and then dry it. Once the car is totally dry, give it a good covering in wax. You will find that however bad the weather was during the winter, your car’s paintwork looks as good as it did when you polished it in the fall.

20 injured in Montreal college shooting spree

Posted on Saturday, May 14, 2022 in Uncategorized

Wednesday, September 13, 2006

At 12:41 p.m. local time (UTC-5), a man opened fire at Dawson College, in Westmount, Quebec, Canada; the college is located near the heart of downtown Montreal. Police report at least 20 people being injured. The gunman was reportedly killed at the scene by police. Students told reporters that they heard several shots in the building at about 12:45 local time. One student told a local radio station that she saw two people who had been shot, including one who was hit at the neck. The student said a friend told her four people had been shot.

Hundreds of students fled the building, and the area has been cordoned off. Nearby Plaza Alexis Nihon and Westmount Square were evacuated and the Green line of the Montreal Metro was shut down between Lionel-Groulx and Peel. Police officers wearing bullet-proof vests are keeping people away from the college. “They’re telling me, ‘Go the other way, lady, you’re in the line of fire,'” said CBC News reporter Nancy Wood, who reported from the scene.

Local media have reported police hotlines have been established for loved ones to gain more information: +1-(514)-280-2880, +1-(514)-280-2805, and +1-(514)-280-2806. The Montreal General Hospital has also set up a hotline at +1-(514)-843-2839.

Police have reported that the situation has been neutralized as of 20:06, September 13, 2006 (UTC). Police have been told to stand down and are no longer looking for new victims or shooters.

Dawson College is a CEGEP that hosts about 10,000 students.

Just two weeks after China sent global markets into a tumble, growing worries about sub-prime mortgage lenders in the United States are sending jitters through stock exchanges around the globe. The three major US stock market indices each fell two percent from Monday’s closing price, marking the second-biggest loss of 2007. London’s FTSE 100, Paris’ CAC 40 and Frankfurt’s DAX 30 indices each closed down more than 1 percent.

As the Mortgage Bankers Association reported that late payments on mortgages and home foreclosures in the US homes rose in the fourth quarter to their highest level in years, investors are concerned that not only US banks but also multi-national banks around the globe could have exposure.

More than two dozen sub-prime lenders have closed or sold operations as defaults on those mortgages have risen. “The delinquencies and defaults have started to soar,” said Nicolas Retsinas, director of Housing Studies at Harvard University. “A lot of these lenders started to make loans and lost track of some of the fundamentals.”

New Century Financial Corporation, the second largest sub-prime lender in the US, has recently revealed that its creditors were no longer providing funds and, further, it has become subject of an SEC investigation. The New York Stock Exchange has said it will delist New Century. Accredited Home Loan Lending, another major sub-prime mortgage specialist, said it was seeking fresh capital and waivers on its lending covenants.

Sub-prime lenders provide mortgages to people who do not qualify for loans from mainstream lenders, typically due to their credit histories. The lenders then bundle these mortgages as collateral for loans that they obtain from other financing firms, such as GMAC. Such firms can then repackage these loans and sell them as mortgage-backed securities. These securities may end up in the hands of major multi-national banks such as Citibank, HSBC, and Commerzbank. Each level of lending assumes a level of financial risk, but trouble can arise when the risk tolerances are exceeded. If too many homeowners default on their mortgages, the sub-prime lender can end up defaulting. If too many of these lenders default, as it is feared may be happening now, the defaults can cascade upward. While no one is predicting major bank failures at this point, it is feared that their profits could be hurt.
