CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR A MORTGAGE

The first step in the home-buying process is to get pre-approved by a lender! Click here to apply for a mortgage and get the BEST RATES from Real Living Mortgage!!

Three good reasons to get pre-approved:

1) Find out how much you are approved for, and what your monthly payment will be at different price ranges!

2) This helps us to narrow our search to the best homes in the price range YOU are comfortable with!

3) When presenting an offer for that perfect home, the seller can rest assured that you are qualified to purchase their home, and be more likely to accept your offer!

ENJOY THESE GREAT RESOLUTION IDEAS FOR 2008!

1. RESOLVE TO GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER. Begin by resisting the temptation to splurge. Refrain from using a credit card and keep your other financial goals, like retirement, in mind. You should have at least three months' salary in your emergency fund. Try to stay away from unnecessary spending until you reach this goal. Think about e-payments to prevent you from paying late fees.

2. PLAN AND BUDGET FOR IMPROVEMENTS. If there's any major repair, remodeling or decorating projects you'd like to make to your home in the new year, take your time and shop around for the best prices. If you're hiring a contract, get plenty of references.

3. IF YOU'VE PUT OFF LANDSCAPING, PLAN TO DO IT NOW. The right landscaping can increase the value of your home by 15%, allowing you to recoup 100%-200% of your investment, according to the Association of Landscape Contractors of America.

4. IF YOU DO ANY HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS. You may be eligible to minimize the capital gain that may come your way when you eventually sell. The improvement must me one that permanently increases the value and useful life of the house (like a new roof).

2) 10 TIPS FOR BETTER GAS MILEAGE

Now that gas is over $3.00/gallon, there's no way to escape the high gas prices. But there are ways you can get better gas mileage - which will save you money in the long run, according to Edmunds.com, an online resource for automotive information.

1. Follow the recommended maintenance - A well-maintained vehicle will operate more efficiently. Fouled spark plugs, dirty air filters and clogged fuel filters will diminish fuel economy.
2. Keep tires properly inflated - Under-inflated tires require more energy to roll; properly inflated tires can improve fuel economy by as much as 3 percent.
3. Take a load off - Heavier vehicles require more energy to move. Pack light and remove unnecessary items from the car.
4. Don't drive aggressively - Hitting the gas pedal hard after stopping, slamming on the brakes and speeding all decrease fuel efficiency.
5. Use the highest gear possible - Lower gears use more power, so manual transmission drivers should switch to a higher gear when driving at a steady speed, and automatic transmission drivers should avoid using "sport" mode.
6. Use cruise control selectively - Cruise control is a great asset on flat roads, but isn't the most efficient on hilly terrain.
7. Think clean - Keeping your car washed and waxed improves its aerodynamics, thereby improving fuel efficiency. On a long trip, a quick run through a gas station car wash might more than pay for itself.
8. Avoid excessive idling - An idling car burns fuel. Whenever possible, turn your car off while waiting, and try to avoid drive-through windows and long toll booth lines.
9. Think before you ventilate - Air conditioning consumes more fuel, while rolled down windows decreases aerodynamics. Roll down windows when in slow-moving traffic; use the air conditioner when traveling at high speeds.
10. Combine your errands - Cold engines use more fuel than warm engines. Combining errands means the engine will be warmer for more of the trip.
