To get a loan to build a house, you must understand that a collateral is always needed. But not everybody is comfortable with this arrangement.What becomes of you if you are unable to pay back? Let’s talk about all the means then you choose the one most suitable for you.
1. PERSONAL SAVINGS
This is by far the most popular method people are using to get their house built, there is no fear of creditors knocking on your door and it gives a lot of rest of mind.
Honestly, no matter how small your salary is, you can build a house if you set your mind towards it. There is always a case of you saving from whatever your income is. Study has showned that 30% of the moderate level of what we get monthly goes to buying very unimportant goods and junks.
So you can cut unnecessary costly foods in costly restaurants.Sit down, make an inventory of wasteful spendings and start saving 20% only of your income, no matter how small in 2 years time you will start a home of your own,whatever you are able to save will be enough to start your house.
Professionals benefits most from this type, with upfronts, profit sharing and commissions amongst others.
Personal savings amongst others is the first option if you want to acquire a land and building a house.
ADVANTAGES
i. There is no debts to service or pay no matter the turns of things.
ii Rest of mind, since there is no creditor coming to knock on your door.
iii.It is healthy at the long run, when your mind is free of fear you are most likely to live a healtheir life and avoid hypertension.
iv. It gives you room to channel your earnings towards something valuable and gives you more responsibility.
DISADVANTAGES
i. It may take a long time to achieve your dream
ii It bites on your income and may moderate your style of living
iii.Staying for too long, might make somebody to loose interest altogether and abandon the project.
iv. There is alway fear of families of (Omo Onile) Landowners rising up to lay dubious claim on your land especially when the seller is dead, because of long time of building.
v. There is always probability that the savings might be converted for other uses.
vi. Inflation on cost of materials and labour may also be seriously catching in.
2. WORKPLACE MORTAGE AND LOANS
This is most atrractive to workers that are planning to invest in Real Estate. Though it is mostly used for personal buildings, but giving honest advice from me, it is better for you a young man or woman to build it, then rent out and let the building pays for the loan back while you sit down and collect rents . Then now use the dividends to finance another project.
The National Housing Fund remains the most attractive leeway for those who desire to build with loan especially the civil servant. It is designed by the government to aid the federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, with less bureauracy unlike before and it offers presently a maximum of N5m at an interest rate of 6% and a whopping 25 years of repayment tenor. This fund can be joined through any of the mortgage banks in Nigeria.
ADVANTAGES
i. Fast completion of building
ii. The paying back period is long and is remove automatically from your monthly income without you feeling the pinch because it is usually very small.
iii.The interest rate is very low.
iv. If you understand real estate, this opportunity can turn you into a millionaire.
DISADVANTAGES
i. You are indebted for a very long time.
ii. Interest rates no matter how small will still eat into your pocket.
iii.Sudden severance of your job, may leave you in the cold against your creditors, what if you are unable to get another job.
3. THRIFTS AND COOPERATIVES’ HOUSING SCHEMES
This method is becoming more popular among the young workforce and a lot of cooperative housing schemes are springing out daily. It employs the same old mold of operation, only that in this case you are expecting to own a home. All members pool resources together to build houses for each member in areas of choice. This is an alternative to mortgage for the low income earners, who makes monthly minimal contribution overtime.
ADVANTAGES
i. Just as in mortage loans, fast completion because of readily available funds.
ii. At times members purchase large expanse of land and divide between members which is more comparatively cheap, they get professionals to do the projects in large volume, and the professionals inturn charge less because of large numbers of jobs. Housing cost can be reduced by 25% with this method.
iii.Encourages other mutual benefits and promote friendliness.
DISADVANTAGES
i. It definitely goes without saying that the cooperative society of choice must be well researched and thoroughly investigated to ascertain the commitment and integrity of its members. Some members can decide to default and this may lead to the collapse of the cooperative club.
4. LAND SPECULATION & CAPITAL MARKETS
Have you packed into a developing area before, which is still full of vegetation? Within 3 months what you will notice is a surge in inflow of people of that location either they are trying to secure their land or are encouraged by the moving into the location by you, and are sure of meeting neighbours to talk to, transact business or probably for security, whichever, there is always a trend of people moving into a location because somebody like you have just moved in. So what happens? as you have more traffic, the value of properties in that area will naturally increase. So when you are buying a land, why not make it two or more, as you build one, the other plots will appreciate in value sell them and use it to complete your resident house.
ADVANTAGES
i. You may not feel the pinch of paying so much because of your investment that will augment for you.
ii. This may be a starting point for you in real estate investment, this will give you a first hand knowledge on how it works
iii.Benefits like naming of the street after your name and others.
iv. You are not bothered by repayment of loans, since you are building from your investment.
DISADVANTAGES
i. Because this is a fresh area with less development, you may not have access to some infrastructural facilities already existing in the main towns.
ii. It may take some waiting for other lands to appreciate before you can complete your project.
5. SOURCING OF LOANS FROM YOUR BANK
With consolidation of Nigerian Banks, there is a lot of money now available for business transactions, so banks these days are ready to loan you money to be able to complete your building, though this process is the most difficult to choose.
ADVANTAGES
i. Completion of job in time because of availability of funds
ii.If you are sure of the location then you may sell the building and make quick profit because of fast completion
DISADVANTAGES

ii. Bureaucratic bottlenecks
6. DIVIDENDS FROM HIGH YIELD INVESTMENT PROGRAMMES (HYIP) AND SHARES
Some smart young couples are making use of this program to develop their homes stresslessly. Though high yield, high risk, this is by far the best and the easiest way I can recommend to anybody when building their house. Before present problems with most of the HYIPs, There is an high yield investment program being promoted by an Oil and Gas firm in Nigeria called Nospectus, you invest N450,000 in their company and they in turn by the end of every month will be paying you N40,000 in 12 months you would have made 100% turnover, and the good thing about this company is that you can withdraw your capital of N450,000 anytime you want to.( Also you have Clubfreedom among others.)
A couple grew theirs to N200,000 per month i.e. 5 slots and they build their house of choice so stresslessly, imagine having N200,000 per month as an additional salary without any further effort. “Note: though I am not recommending them, I know of quite a few people in this scheme.
There are a lot of HYIP’s also going on internet but you have to consult those that are already into it before you get defrauded. Less risky ones is to buy shares, bonds etc and use the profits to build your house.
“My general advice is to start small”
ADVANTAGES
i. Very easy to generate steady flow of cash for your building.
ii. The more investment , the more money to help in financing your building project.

Mortage Refinance 2008 Year End Numbers
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Sara Vlazny asked:
The rising unemployment rate, and a shrinking U.S. economy, has struggling consumers looking for relief through Mortgage Refinance. A smaller amount of buyers seeking new loans and those seeking lower monthly payments on current Loans, are currently raising the number of applications. The percentage increase ending January 9, 2009, includes both mortgage refinance and purchase loans. This happens to be the highest combined percentage increase since 2003.
The Index hit an eight year low with a 35.9% drop, in November of 2008, and The Mortgage Bankers Association has their seasonally adjusted purchase index showing a 14.1% drop, although applications for mortgage refinance have jumped by 25.6 percent. Mortgage applications helped the four week average by rising 10.8 percent last week alone.
Everyone is hoping the low mortgage rates will spike demand for new Mortgage applications, even though the purchase market shows slower growth than the refinance market. The Mortgage Refinance sector will show an increase in applications due to the weakening economy as consumers continue looking for ways to reduce their expenditures.
Mortgage Refinance jumped from 79.8 to 85.3 last week, which is the highest increase for the Refinance sector, solely, since 1990. Several factors including the climbing unemployment rate and its role in slowing the economy have contributed to shaky financial markets, keeping buyers from applying for mortgage finance.
The World is watching and waiting for positive change in a situation some have called, the worst housing downturn since the Great Depression. There seems to be little sign of recovery even with a significant rise in applications for Mortgage Refinance so it is hard to tell what is going to happen over the next 6 months to a year. We have to rely on Government proposals and plans for right now.
People will not be comfortable with the way the housing market shows instability, no matter how low the interest rates are, if job security is in question, it will directly affect income and individual ideas about spending. In order to benefit from low mortgage rates or a Mortgage Refinance, these factors have to be.
The 30 year mortgage rates in this Nation dramatically declined in November of 2008, when the Federal Reserve announced its plan to buy approximately $500 billion worth of mortgage securities that were backed by Fannie, Ginnie and Freddie. The Federal Government, prompted by the dive of the finance market, has made a commitment to keep consumers borrowing costs down through the purchase of mortgage-backed securities. As for Mortgage Refinance, now is a great time to lock in at a low rate since we know rates will not stay down forever.
Requests for loans are up 200 percent from two months ago according to one online real estate service company. Companies offering mortgage services say they are working hard to handle the increase in work load from the dramatic increase in applications for Mortgage Refinance. Some mortgage companies happily predict a continuation over the next few months, on average, given the mortgage rates will remain low for at least 6 more month.

In 2007, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer showed growth in the international tourism arrivals. It is expected that this trend will continue until this 2008 despite deteriorating economic climate.
Recently, there was a global rapid increase of the oil price resulting to fare increases in the maritime, land transportation and aviation sector. Aside from that, economies worldwide have weakened due to subprime mortage crisis in the USA. These conditions have reduced consumer confidence and set pressure on spending and travel budgets of individuals and families.
The global crisis may present a gloomy picture of the future for the tourism sector but UNWTO said that the global will not halt the expected growth for the tourism industry. This is based on worldwide tourism statics in the past gathered by the organization.
For one, despite tensions and threats in the Middle East, the region totaled 46 million international tourist arrivals. The region is emerging as a strong destination with visitor numbers climbing much faster than the world total, with Saudi Arabia and Egypt among the leading destinations in growth in 2007.
Data showed that, mature markets such as Europe remain as the leading destinations in the world. In 2007, Europe received about 19 million of tourist arrival.
Tourism growth is driven by emerging markets and developing economies. Now that China has increase participation in global economy and post economic growth over the years, with its billion population, the tourism sector will surely weather the current world crisis though growth is expected at a slower rate.

John Turner asked:
Bad credit is no longer a hurdle in getting a home loan. A few years ago a poor credit score or a bankruptcy or foreclosure would have meant you encountered difficulties obtaining a mortgage loan. In case you were able to get such a loan, you would have to agree to a very high rate of interest and to pay a large deposit.
Mortgage loans are now more easily available for people with bad credit. Note they are sometimes called ‘poor credit mortage’ loans.
Recommended Steps
1. If you have bad credit and you need a mortgage loan, you should first obtain free copies of your credit reports from all the three major credit agencies:
Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
2. Check these reports. Make sure there are no mistakes in them. Find out whether the accounts regarding the bankruptcy and foreclosure are showing collection or charge-off. If you find any errors, aim to get them rectified.
If your report shows any foreclosure or bankruptcy, all the information regarding these should be listed under one item.
Note that your credit score will be affected each time your credit report is requested - so you should only apply to one mortgage agency who might approach many lenders with your application.
3. The deposit you have to pay as part of your bad credit mortage will depend upon your credit score. If you have been able to increase your rating to about 580 to 600 in a period of about two years since your bankruptcy, you might obtain 100% financing. Additionally, you might also be able to get a good interest rate in the region of 7% to 7.5%.

Frank Collins asked:
Loan modification is a word mentioned very often in recent times, also called a mortgage modification, most people have become accustomed with this word during the current economic crisis. As demand has risen to modify ones mortgage rate and terms, assistance with the mortgage modification process has increased from real estate industry professionals and lawyers who specialize in real estate law. In some circumstances, companies charge large high fees upfront simply to begin the process, prior to negotiating any type of loan workout or modification approval which in some states is illegal and unethical. However one leading website is offering a truthful service that provides a money back guarantee and back-up services in case the lender doesn’t see your financial situation as dire. These are the type of honest services a homeowner in these financial times needs that website is applyloanmodification.com
A mortgage modification , or debt restructure as it is sometimes called, is a high demand choice, the objective is to provide a more affordable plan to the homeowners by decreasing their mortgage payments to an acceptable number for the lender and the borrower. The home mortgage modification functions in a way that the terms of the original mortgage loan are modified. This can include reducing the interest rate and/or increasing the loan term and in some instances reducing or forgiving the principal balance.
However, with the mortgage modification process although it is pretty much easy to follow, some issues have arose with how it is handled, with most people feeling that some companies providing these services are not tailoring the plan to their specific needs while charging huge fees before any type of approval, and even worse no guarantee of approval, this leaves the homeowner in a difficult position.
Not all loan modification companies function this way. Companies on the website mentioned below will have a money back guarantee and will diligently help you through the emotional process of getting your home loan modified or initiating a short sale to avoid a foreclosure that lasts ten years on your credit report. This means, unlike many, it is in their interests to get the modification approved, otherwise they receive no payment.
While many homeowners struggling to meet their mortage payment obligations, and the government itself, suggesting leniency, the mortgage lenders have a moral duty to help the consumer. So, with your effort and cooperation a positive outcome is very likely.

These are the type of honest services a homeowner in these financial times needs that website is applyloanmodification.com
A mortgage modification , or debt restructure as it is sometimes called, is a high demand choice, the objective is to provide a more affordable plan to the homeowners by decreasing their mortgage payments to an acceptable number for the lender and the borrower. The home mortgage modification functions in a way that the terms of the original mortgage loan are modified. This can include reducing the interest rate and/or increasing the loan term and in some instances reducing or forgiving the principal balance.
However, with the mortgage modification process although it is pretty much easy to follow, some issues have arose with how it is handled, with most people feeling that some companies providing these services are not tailoring the plan to their specific needs while charging huge fees before any type of approval, and even worse no guarantee of approval, this leaves the homeowner in a difficult position.
Not all loan modification companies function this way. Companies on the website mentioned below will have a money back guarantee and will diligently help you through the emotional process of getting your home loan modified or initiating a short sale to avoid a foreclosure that lasts ten years on your credit report. This means, unlike many, it is in their interests to get the modification approved, otherwise they receive no payment.
While many homeowners struggling to meet their mortage payment obligations, and the government itself, suggesting leniency, the mortgage lenders have a moral duty to help the consumer. So, with your effort and cooperation a positive outcome is very likely.

Personal And Mortage Loans

M S Nath asked:
Personal loans:
A personal loans is a big commitment for your financial future,It’s also obvious that getting the cheapest loan possible should be a priority, The first factor that most people look at when determining how expensive a loan or other form of credit is is the APR, or Annual Percentage Rate. This is the interest rate that will be charged on a loan, and the higher the figure, the more expensive the
loan.
The major thing to look out for is whether the lender or broker will charge an arrangement or setup fee. This is a one off charge which is made when your loan application is approved and completed, and the fee is usually added on to the loan balance and repaid over the term of the loan. This means that not only do you have to pay the fee itself, but also interest, which will make it even
more expensive than it initially looks. Arrangement fees are common on secured loans and mortgages, far less so on unsecured personal loans.
Mortgage loans:
Commercial mortgage loans are to be borrowed by the businesses and not by the individuals and so are secured by the real estate which is not to be considered as a residential property. While deciding on the lender, one needs to be very careful. Whichever enterprise it is, whether big organization or small entity should browse through some good financial websites to be on the safer
side.
Many loans and mortgages feature something called an early repayment penalty or fee which is charged if you clear your loan before the originally agreed term. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the outstanding balance, and is most commonly found in loan products that feature an initially discounted rate, or a long term fixed rate, and is put there by the lender to discourage
borrowers from taking advantage of an introductory deal and then immediately switching to a new loan, so costing the lender money in terms of lost interest charges. The period in which an early repayment fee may be charged is usually limited to the first few years of your loan, and will be made clear on the loan agreement before you sign.
Commercial mortgage loan can be utilized either for expanding the existing firm or for starting a new enterprise. For all those businessmen who don’t have an adequate amount of money, commercial mortgage loans are of an immense help to them as through it they can be fetched with the hefty amount of finance. Than with that money, whatever property the person will procure is
going to be kept as Collateral with the lender for secure repayment. Suppose, if you are not able to pay that funds which were relocated to you than the ownership of your property will be carried away.
There are multiple benefits of commercial mortgage loans. With commercial mortgage loans, you are just required to pay low interest rate, the duration of paying the refund back is quite flexible. Than Apart from this, to get the access of commercial loans is pretty easy for the crutch of reason that they are hardly any intricacies in the procedure of entailing the fund.
The commercial properties in short are used for generating the income. Hence, for this very reason, a commercial mortgage loan is also termed as an income property loan.

Ki Gray asked:
The M-LEC, as it is called, has been created in order to restore investor confidence in some areas of the economy that are neccesary for credit to maintain its liquidity, or ease of transference from one entity (a bank) to another. This loss of liquidity comes in the wake of the discovery of high-risk, sickly subprime mortages that have been sold off in pieces, often in the form of supposedly secure money market funds to thousands of investors. Over the past several years, those funds have changed hands so many times that their spread is difficult to chart for the average investor, who therefore loses confidence investing in a potentially tainted company or financial institution, which, over time, results in a credit crunch, which is a surefire recipe for recession.
In order to avoid such an outcome, this superfund aims to selectively buy large number of securites from what is called Structured Investment Vehicles- or SIV’s, which sell so-called “commercial paper” to finance themselves. Commercial paper is sold at most of what it is worth and matures quickly (over a period of months rather than years) which, although a risky investment (because it has a smaller percentage of the investment reserved in case of a drop in value), means it can quickly be converted into a more stable form, most often in a money market fund. Bond rating institutions rated the money market funds as being much safer than they actually were, because SIV’s transfer the securities through commercial paper before they make their way to the stable funds.
Since it became more apparent that these small conduits only appeared to be trustworthy investments, they have lost popularity and have few potential buyers. Although this is not inherently bad, it reflects two scenarios. The first possibility is that the market is functioning improperly due mostly to a loss of investment confidence, which depends on the perception of the average investor that the economy is stable and therefore worth investing in. The other possibility is that the economy is unstable due to real underlying debts that cannot be avoided, and therefore this new conduit is just a smokescreen for the big banks to pay lip service for making so many bad loans in the first place.
The second scenario is unfortunately the more likely one, which means a recession could be unavoidable. The reason the conduit functions ineffectively is twofold: because it depends on the bank’s promises that they will buy the SIV’s assets even if no one else will, thus placing an artificial incentive in place for investors, and because the bank’s guarantee is also dependent on their securities maintaining a certain amount of their value. This means that the financial institutions can take fees from the securities in exchange for an incomplete guarantee, thus justifying their purchase. The fund could theoretically have a positive impact, if willful suspension of disbelief takes hold of the globe, or if you view a slowdown in the US economy as a positive outcome.

10 Ways to Get Less Search Engine Traffic
Filed Under Seo | Leave a Comment
Jeremy Morgan asked:
So, you got yourself a new website set up and you want to be at the bottom of the “shower head” search results. This may not get you banned altogether, but it will at least get your site deranked enough that new visitors will stop bothering you.
1. Build hundreds of pages with the same content.
Build as many pages as you can, with basically the same content. Build one for “shower heads in Oregon”, then build another for “shower heads in California”. Build one for every state, and all the big cities in that state. Doing this should get your site banned in a month or two if you do it right.
2. Buy 145 domains, and point them all at the same site.
Another old SEO trick that works well. Since you are selling shower heads, you should get:
shower-heads.com
buy-shower-heads.com
where-to-buy-shower-heads.com
where-to-find-free-shower-heads.com
You get the idea. Build up enough of these and submit them all to google and yahoo, so they can index them and properly punish your site.
3. Keep your keyword density as high as possible.
Who cares what the text sounds like, keep it optimized. Here is an example of BAD text:
“At Jeremy’s Shower heads, we have many name brand shower heads to choose from, and you can order online”.
That almost sounds like something a human would say. Try this:
“At Jeremy’s Shower Heads, we have the most shower heads out of any shower heads manufacturer, or shower heads dealer. Come check out our shower heads store and look at all our shower heads and shower heads supplies we have available. Need more shower heads, or a special shower head? We can special order shower heads too.”
Not only do you have more text, but we have 15.5% keyword density for “shower heads”. That should be enough to trip the spam filter in most major engines. If it doesnt, try adding “shower heads” into random spots in the paragraph.
4. Spam your links in wordpress or other blog comments.
Nothing says “crappy spam site” more, and if you do this enough, the search engines will notice. Since very few people probably click those links anyway, you wont have any new visitors bothering you either.
5. Join as many link exchanges as possible.
Try to get as many link exchanges going, with as many sites as possible. If you run a shower head site, trading links with a quilting directory makes perfect sense. Enough irrelevant links, and you should see a good drop in rankings you should actually get naturally.
6. Use as many free for all “FFA” sites as possible.
Same theory, link exchanges with irrelevant sites won’t get you banned, but they will certainly drop your rankings.
7. Target popular keywords and enjoy the extra traffic.
Dont fill your site with keywords about shower heads. Throw in paris hilton, britney spears, and mortage rates. With all those extra people coming in, you’re bound to sell a shower head or two. Targeted marketing is for people who want to be bothered by customers all the time.
8. Generate random text
The more text, the better. Generating random text is a great way to get new people into your site, but dont worry they’ll close the browser once they read the gibberish. And google will punish your rankings also.
9. Build cloak pages!
A cloaked page is a page designed to be seen by search engines, and optimized, then a real user sees an entirely different page. Again, all the people coming to your super britney spears page listed on google, will surely be happy that you have such a wide selection of shower heads. And soon google will catch on to your cloaked pages also.
10. Hide your text
This one is awesome! There is no way the search engines will ever figure out your white text on a white background. This secret text is your key to getting banned, and rather quickly if someone finds it and tattles on you. So get that huge keyword list ready and start loading up the page!
Summary
I hope this has helped. The sarcasm even got old to me by the end of the list, but these are things you should never, ever consider on your site. Many of the tactics haven’t worked well for years, and many of them are futile anyway, as you’re only getting traffic that isn’t interested in your product. Keep these in mind when talking to an SEO also.

Britons Turning to Credit Cards to Pay for Their Homes as Credit Crunch Strengthens Its Hold
Filed Under Mortgage | Leave a Comment
Amy Whittingham asked:
To avoid getting into too much debt, people are using cash and store cards more frequently. Retail establishments such as M&S and Debenhams have reported more cash and store card purchases. Stores are seeing a reduction in charge card usage, and it is believed that shoppers have started using them for living expenses such as utilities and rent.
A Gfk NOP poll raises the alarm that consumer confidence plummeted to a 1990 recession level, as the real estate market continues to dry up and household expenses continue to soar. Nearly two million British citizens have experienced credit card limit decreases in the past six months.
Store credit cards charge some of the highest interest rates, so we can conclude that consumers are hurting financially when their usage of them increases. Charging purchases to a store credit card would be discouraged unless it is your only choice as someone who is cautious about spending money feels completely different than someone who is financially strapped and feels the need to resort to higher cost forms of credit that are available.
The interest rate for store cards can be as high as 31 percent, the average being 22 percent. This is high when compared with 17 per cent on credit cards. According to a poll conducted last week, approximately four million people pay their rent or mortgage with a credit card, which availed up to one million pounds last year. Aside from payday and doorstep loans, using credit cards to pay loans or mortages is more costly. This is a bad sign of what is happening in household finances activities in UK.
While it may go against your better judgment and appear to place you at a disadvantage, if you are in dire risk of losing your home, it actually makes sense. First, seek the guidance of Citizens Advice, you don’t want to miss aid that you are eligible for. If you do have to use your card in an emergency, don’t feel guilty, it might be the best way to buy time until you regain control. It couldn’t aggravate the situation. Debt on your card is not secured by property but if you don’t pay the rent or mortgage, you could be homeless in a matter of months.
