I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Coming up, we'll talk about hits and misses from last night's Grammy Awards. We'll talk about who won big and who got left out. That's in just a few minutes.
But first, we want to continue our series observing Black History Month. We've been highlighting the achievements of African-Americans on the cutting edge in the so-called STEM fields - science, technology, engineering and math. And we know a lot of kids grow up wanting to be astronauts, but today we hear from someone who made that dream come true for himself and helped others who aspire to reach for the stars.
Charles F. Bolden, Jr. leads NASA as the organization's administrator. He's the first African-American to hold that position on a permanent basis. He's also a retired astronaut who's been to space four times and also a retired Marine general, and he's made it part of his mission to get more American children of whatever backgrounds interested in STEM careers. And General Bolden is with us now.
Thank you so much for joining us once again.
CHARLES BOLDEN, JR.: Michel, I'm honored to be here. Thanks very much.
MARTIN: Could we start with some news that's on a lot of people's minds? It's...
JR.: Yes.
MARTIN: ...one of the things people have been talking about, is this asteroid, which is supposed to be the size of an office building.
JR.: Yes.
MARTIN: That it's coming close to earth on Friday, February 15th, and I know that NASA's been taking a look at this. I know that we're not doomed, but tell us what's so important about this.
JR.: We're not doomed and it is - it's a significant asteroid. It's coming about 17,000 miles, which is, in relative terms, that's relatively close, but in terms of endangering satellites, the International Space Station, anything like that, it should not even impact or run a risk with our communication satellites.
MARTIN: But why is it that we're not in any danger? I think some people would feel that if something is that big, it's in space and coming that close there has to be some risk there.
JR.: The biggest reason we're not in danger from this asteroid is because we can track it long enough to know that this orbit is not going to bring it anywhere close to earth where it would be impacting earth. So hundreds of years from now, I think this asteroid may come back around and it may be a different story then.
MARTIN: So tracking these critters is one of the things that you do, but can you talk a little bit more about what else NASA does? I mean, the last shuttle mission flew in 2011 and, at the time, some people worried that the end of that program meant a lost opportunity to get people interested in careers in space and all the related fields. Could you talk a little bit about what kinds of missions NASA is pursuing now that you think engages the public's imagination or that you hope will engage the public's imagination?
JR.: I would love to. And we were very proud when we brought the shuttle era - an incredible 30 year era - to an end in July of 2011 when Atlantis landed, but we are still engaged in robust human space flight. For the last - a little bit more than 12 years now, there has not been a second that an American has not been in space on the International Space Station as a crew member.
The thing I like to talk about is the big A in NASA because a lot of people don't even know it and that's aeronautics. NASA's aeronautics mission director - it is the smallest of the four. And by the way, the four directorates are science; aeronautics, what we call human exploration and operations, HEAL; and then a new directorate that's called the space technology mission directorate.
My favorite because I'm a pilot is aeronautics. We experiment and do research to make airplanes better, particularly quieter, faster, more fuel efficient. If people think about the Hubble space telescope, that's NASA. A lot of people today know about space weather, so we work very closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA. We build the satellites or run the programs for satellites that NOAA and the National Weather Services uses for weather predictions and the National Weather Service.
MARTIN: Is there anything about NASA you don't love?
JR.: Yeah - no. I wake up in the morning ready to go to work and, when I go home at night, I feel like I've made the world better. And I think, if you talk to anybody who works at NASA, they'll hopefully tell you the same thing. It's an awesome place.
MARTIN: We are speaking with the administrator of NASA, Charles Bolden. We are talking with African-Americans in science, technology, engineering and math, the so-called STEM fields as part of our celebration of Black History Month. So did you always know that you wanted to do something like this? Did you always know that...
JR.: I didn't have a clue.
MARTIN: Yeah, really?
JR.: I did not have a clue. I grew up in the segregated South. I grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. My mom and dad were school teachers, and all my life they had told me and my brother we could do anything we wanted to do as long as we were willing to study hard and work hard. But I never dreamed of flying an airplane. I never dreamed of going to space. I knew what astronauts were. On Saturdays, I'd go to the theater and I'd watch Buck Rogers and all that stuff. But I never dreamed that I would be one. And I tell people all the time, the shuttle program just completely changed the face of exploration for African-American - for everybody because until shuttle came around everybody looked alike, and shuttle changed all that.
MARTIN: I was going to ask you about that because I've had the privilege of interviewing a number of astronauts and one of the things that they all say is that going up into space brings you back changed, and one of the things that they've all said is that, you know, when you look at the earth from that vantage point, you realize how small our differences are. But then you still have to come back to earth. And I wanted to ask whether your race has played a role in your career.
JR.: I think race has played a huge role in my career because I've never had any doubt about who I was or what I was. I am a very proud African-American. You know, like I said, I grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. My mom and dad were very successful educators and I have always been very proud that I was able to overcome what some people would consider adversity, but I always considered them opportunities to excel. And so life has been good to me and I can't complain.
You know, as we sit here, the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, 50th anniversary of Dr. King's march on Washington and just after the inauguration of the second time - a black president. That's great. Life is good.
MARTIN: It sounds like you're very emotional about this. What was it that brought that forward for you? Is it just thinking about where you came from? Is it thinking about where we are?
JR.: Oh, it's thinking about all of that, Michel. I think, you know, I stand - and I don't say this, you know, as just something that's being cute, but I stand on the shoulders of giants. Whether you look back to the Montford Point Marines, who were the first African-Americans to come into the Marine Corps in 1942 or the Tuskegee Airmen who came into the Army Air Corps about the same period of time or the Buffalo soldiers, who go way back, or even the Golden 13 in the Navy, who were the first blacks to be commissioned, you know, there are a lot of people who have done things that enable me to be here.
MARTIN: One of the obstacles you faced earlier in your career when you first aspired to join the astronaut program is, despite the fact that you had been to the Naval Academy and had flown, you know, however many combat missions - 100 combat missions - that you couldn't get a referral to the astronaut program. Is that true?
JR.: Oh, no, no, no. I think what you confuse that with is my getting into the Naval Academy. I...
MARTIN: Oh, Naval Academy. Right. From Columbia, South Carolina.
JR.: Yeah. It started a long, long time ago.
MARTIN: You have to have a - what's the word? A recommendation, right?
JR.: You have to have an appointment or be nominated by a member of Congress, the Vice President or the President, and most of the appointments come from congressional representatives and state senators and, at my time, it was pretty clear and it finally became very clear when I was refused by my representative and my senators that I was not going to get into the naval academy that way.
But the good thing for me was...
MARTIN: Strom Thurmond was your senator at that time.
JR.: Strom Thurmond was my senator - was one of my senators. I had Strom Thurmond and Olin D. Johnston and then Albert Watson was my congressional representative and...
MARTIN: But, despite your excellent grades and your excellent athletic contributions, you would not get any referral?
JR.: It was not - and, you know, I'll give them a break. OK. It was not politically feasible for them to do it at the time, and Strom - I will say Strom Thurmond at least had the courage to say that to me, that it was not politically something that he could do at that time. My mother went to her grave believing that Strom Thurmond played a role in my getting an - finally getting an appointment to the naval academy because I got an appointment from Congressman William Dawson in Chicago, Illinois. But that was after I wrote a letter to then-President Lyndon Johnson. My senior year in high school, the day that we traveled to Charleston, South Carolina on my football team to play for the state championship, President Kennedy was assassinated and it was a dark, dark day for everybody, but really dark - it was doubly dark for me because I was so set on going to the Naval Academy and I knew my only hope was Vice President Johnson and, when he became president, I knew I was not eligible for a presidential appointment, so I pulled out my pen and paper and I wrote to him and I said, hey, I know I'm not eligible for an appointment from you, but I need help.
And never heard from him, but about a week later, a navy recruiter showed up at my front door and said, I understand you want to go to the Naval Academy. I said, yes, I do.
MARTIN: So a couple of things that occur to me is, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, only about 3 percent of workers in the STEM fields are African-American, even now. I'm just wondering why you think that is.
JR.: Well, there are a number of reasons, and another former African-American astronaut and the guy who was in this job temporarily for a while is Fred Gregory and Fred was an Air Force Academy graduate and another shuttle pilot and Fred and I worked for years trying to recruit, you know, young black pilots to apply for the astronaut program, and that's really difficult. It's the same thing with trying to get people of color into the STEM fields. We get them excited. We get them onto college campuses and, in many cases, especially with young women, they get there and there frequently is no support structure and so we've got to keep working at it.
MARTIN: OK. I have to ask this, though, because I know that, if I'm asking it, somebody's thinking it. There are those who would say you didn't have any support. Some people would say, well, if you could do it, why do other people need more than you had?
JR.: Well, and I say that to young people myself. I tell them, look, if I could do it, there's no reason you can't do it. But we do know that, you know, I did have support when I went through the Naval Academy. I struggled, but I had a mother away from home, Miss Lily May Chase(ph), who lived right outside the gate and was a custodian in the Naval Academy library and she - every black midshipman who came through there - she brought us into her house on the weekends and gave us a place to get together and talk about what was going on. And although there are only four of us that graduated together, I tell you, we supported each other and - yeah - some few people can make it on their own, but the vast majority of people need some kind of support and that's we try to provide for them.
MARTIN: Why does it matter that there be more diversity in the STEM fields? Some would argue, you know, the United States is still a world leader in these areas. We may not be graduating as many people as we would like, but we are still the world leader in innovation, so why does it matter that there's more diversity?
JR.: Well, if we don't want to be the best in the world, it doesn't matter, but if we want to be the best in the world and we want to come up with all the best ideas, we've got to have a diverse workforce. You know, you can - and I think the research will show. You put a homogeneous group of people together, give them a problem and they'll come up with the same answer that's usually come out of that kind of group.
You put a diverse group of people together who don't even know each other, have totally different ideas about stuff, you're going to get some absolutely incredible answers there.
MARTIN: Well, we're almost out of time and I want to appreciate you again.
JR.: Oh, no.
MARTIN: Thank you again for speaking with us. Before we let you go, I wanted to ask. Do you have some wisdom that you'd like to pass on to somebody who is listening to our conversation now, maybe would like to follow in your footsteps?
JR.: Michel, I think I could give you a quote from Dr. King, who - you know, and I think he said, "almost always, the creative, dedicated minority has made the world better." So for any young person of color who's listening, just - you know, you should know that you will make a difference wherever you go if you're willing to study hard and work hard and not be afraid of failing.
MARTIN: Charles F. Bolden, Jr. is the administrator of NASA. He is a retired astronaut, a retired major general in the United States Marine Corps and he was kind enough to join us from their headquarters.
General Bolden, thank you so much for speaking with us.
JR.: Thank you so very much, Michel.

This is a feature plugin intended to implement #34923: Introduce basic content authorship in the Customizer.
The goal for this plugin is to be able to expose the editing of posts and pages in the Customizer, allowing you to edit post data and postmeta for any number of posts, and preview the changes before saving them for others to see. This plugin was birthed out of the Widget Customizer feature-as-plugin project which was merged into WordPress Core: as widgets (in 3.9) and nav menus (4.3) can now be managed in the Customizer, so too should posts and pages be editable in the Customizer as well.
Did you know that changing the featured image actually makes the change live even before you save the post? This is very surprising/unexpected behavior. The only way to truly preview a change to a featured image is to use something like Customize Posts.
Likewise, did you know that changing a page template cannot be previewed from the post editor? When you change the selected page template, the change will not show up when you preview the page (see #11049). However, in Customize Posts you can preview changes to the page template just by changing the dropdown selection, and then you can see what your page would look like with the new template after the preview refreshes.
Most other changes to metaboxes containing data that gets saved to custom fields (postmeta) also get written when clicking the Preview button. The Customize Posts plugin provides a framework to edit postmeta in the Customizer with a live preview of the changes. (Fixing this underlying issue of incorrectly persisting postmeta when doing a preview is captured in #20299.)
As much as possible, the previewing of changes in Customize Posts utilizes the selective refresh capabilities introduced in WordPress 4.5. Not only does this mean it is faster to preview changes to posts and postmeta, but it also allows you to shift-click on an element to focus on the corresponding control in the Customizer pane. For example you can shift-click on the post title in the preview to focus on the post title control's input field, or shift-click on a featured image to focus on the control's button to open the media library.
Development of this plugin is done on GitHub. Pull requests welcome. Please see issues reported there before going to the plugin forum.
(This Customize Posts plugin is not to be confused with 10up's Post Customizer.)
Demo Videos
The following are listed in reverse chronological order. The first, more recent videos, show more polish.
[2016-04-28] New features in 0.5.0.
[2016-03-28] Previewing post from Post Edit screen.
[2016-03-05] Opening a draft post in the Customizer to preview title wrapping.
[2016-03-04] Demo featuring the WP visual rich text editor (TinyMCE), including the insertion of images from the media library. Post content can be edited in the Customizer and previewed in multiple contexts. For example, this allows you to preview how a Read More tag will appear when the post appears on a post list page, and you can navigate to the single post to continue previewing subsequent paragraphs. You can expand the editor into a full-screen mode to focus on writing and then quickly preview the changes on the site by toggling the editor. You can make changes to as many posts as you want, but none of the changes will go live until you hit Save & Publish: everything is previewed so there is no "save and surprise".
[2016-03-03] Demonstration of integration with Customize Setting Validation (#34893) to gracefully handle failures to save due to post locking and concurrent user editing:
[2016-03-01] Demonstration of hooking into edit post links so that they actually work in the Customizer and expand the section to edit the given post (as opposed to the link doing nothing at all when clicked), as well as shift-clicking on the title and content (needs better discovery UI, see #27403):

[0.8.1] – 2016-09-23
Fixed compatibility with Safari in the wp.customize.Posts.getCurrentTime()
method. See #293. Props Piotr Delawski (@delawski).
[0.8.0] – 2016-09-22
- Add ability to edit and create pages from
controls, such as the controls for page on front and page for posts. AddsstartEditPageFlow
methods from the Customize Object Selector plugin. See #271 and PRs #272, #284, #285. - Allow page/post stubs created via nav menus in 4.7-alpha to also be edited like any other page. See #253 and PR #287.
- For nav menu items linking to a post/page, add a edit button that appears in the nav menu item control next to the original link. Clicking edit will expand the section for that post/page, and collapsing the section will return focus to the button in the nav menu item control. See #147 and PR #288.
- Sync post/page changes to available nav menu items and nav menu item controls, ensuring titles are consistent in available item lists and in the nav menu item control's title, label placeholder, and original link, and in the nav menu item setting's
property. If a nav menu item lacks its owntitle
and inherits fromoriginal_title
, post/page changes will now trigger nav menu selective refresh updates. See #156 and PR #288, #289. - Sync pages additions, changes, and removals to all
controls, in particular to the page on front and page for posts controls in the static front page section. See #153. PRs #190, #270, #275, #276. - Add support post parent control via Customize Object Selector plugin's control (in v0.3). See #65 and PRs #189, #233.
- Add rudimentary number-based menu order control. See #84 and PR #255, #257.
- Add previewing of title changes for pages listed by
. PR #256. - Implement support for all of the
query vars, including post meta queries, ensuring results have posts' customized state applied as expected. This is a big improvement to ensure customized posts and postmeta will appear the same before or after saving the customized state. Previously, previewingWP_Query
results was very limited and often not accurate. As part of this,get_posts()
and any queries made withsuppress_filters
on will be overridden to force filters to apply. See #246 and PR #248. - Add support to
for representing non-single postmeta. Such settings are instantiated with a truesingle
arg and they require an array value. Thecustomize_sanitize_{$setting_id}
filter will apply to each array item separately, as will thesanitize_meta()
call. PR #248. - Ensure that static front page constructs get registered even without any pages yet created. Add active callback to the static front page section so that it will appear as soon as a published page exists (either via adding a new page from the Pages panel or via a nav menu item page stub in WP 4.7-alpha). See #252 and PR #254.
- Refactor editor control to be reusable for not just post content but also custom fields (postmeta). See PRs #216, #269.
- Ensure that the results of
has the customized state applied. This enables support forwp_dropdown_pages()
(and thus the post parent control). See #241 and PR #250. - Prevent the same page from being selected as both the page for posts and the page on front. PR #270.
- Improve support for page for posts by hiding page template and content since not displayed. Show notice that the page for posts is being edited. See #228, #277 and PR #278.
- Allow
component to be filtered out to be disabled like other components (widgets
). See #132 with PRs #219 and #258. - Disable edit-post-links module in customize-direct-manipulation plugin so that edit links in the preview will continue to work in Customize Posts. PR #234.
- Let Customize link in admin bar deep link on the post section when on a singular template. See #105 and PR #236.
- Use non-minified scripts and styles if plugin installed via git (submodule), eliminating the need to add
or do a build. PR #249. - Add all to
wp_transition_post_status()``when transitioning from
customize-draft`. PR #266. - Include nav menu items and their postmeta in requests to fetch settings. This is to facilitate custom fields in nav menus items. PRs #263, #268, #274.
- Support constructing
objects in JS using a specificsettingConstructor
if defined for a given settingtype
when fetching settings. PR #286.
- For registered post type attributes, use
instead ofshow_ui
as defaultshow_in_customizer
flag. See #264 and PR #265.
- Restrict page template control to just the page post type (as opposed to other post types that support
). PR #227. - Ensure that preview urls are used as permalinks for customized posts. PR #245.
- Ensure the page for posts can be previewed as the page for posts (and not a normal page). See #260 and PR #292.
- Fix ability to do translation via translate.wordpress.org. PR #215.
- Ensure wp_insert_post_empty_content filter gets removed after trashing. PR #214.
- Fix theme compat for twentysixteen content rendering by including additional template tags. PR #226.
- Fix display of notifications in date control. See #229 and PR #230.
- Use
instead ofnotification.data.setting
. PR #238. - Add syncing of slug (
) between edit post screen and customize post preview. PR #239. - Eliminate post type names in generic strings to ensure ability to translate. See #237 and PR #242.
- Use flexbox for post selection lookup select2 and add button. PR #244.
- Remove underline from time-info-handle in 4.7-alpha. PR #242.
- Make sure
is string in PHP but keep int in JS. PR #251. - Ensure that a post section is expanded when a post editor control is expanded. Issue #259 and PR #280.
- Prevent ESC key from causing the editor to collapse unexpectedly. See #281 and PR #282.
- Ensure that all TinyMCE UIs are hidden when the editor control is collapsed. See #231 and PR #282.
- Removed the
filter since now unnecessary and irrelevant after refactor in #248.

[0.7.0] – 2016-08-06
- Introduce Select2 dropdown in a post type's panel for searching for any post to load, even if it is not shown in the preview. Selecting a post adds its section to the Customizer and expands it while also navigating to the post's URL in the preview. Trashed posts are also listed, and selecting a trashed post will load its post data into the Customizer in its untrashed state (restoring its original status and slug) so that upon save it will be be untrashed. (#196, #199)
- Add control for post date, including synchronization with publish/future status for when date is in future. Control includes timezone information and countdown for when schedule publish will happen. Also includes reset link to leave the date empty so that it will default to the current date/time when it is published. (#56, #202)
- Improve UX for trashing posts, adding a Move to Trash link. (#172, #211)
- Add initial support for meta queries when the Customizer state includes changes to postmeta. (#174, #191, #197, #193)
- Allow post field control labels to be defined in
so that the names can be repurposed to be appropriate to the custom post type. (#195) - Add low-fidelity live JS-applied previews to post title changes while waiting for high-fidelity PHP-applied selective refresh requests to response. (#43)
- Ensure title is focused and selected when creating a new post. (#209, #208, #206)
- Make sure that posts are loaded for any post sections/controls that are autofocused. (#204, #205)
- Speed up performance by registering post/postmeta settings and partials only as they are needed (just in time), introducing a new
API call to fetch the settings over Ajax and create the relevant section. (#201) - Improve test coverage. (#200)
- Fix editor text not persistent issue across all posts and post types. (#129, #198)

Allium sativum. Family: Liliaceae
Garlic consists of fresh or dried bulbs of the botanical plant Allium sativum. It's cultivated worldwide. The bulb, or clove, is the part of the plant that's used most often. Garlic is best stored hung in a dry place. Garlic can be consumed fresh, as a powder sprinkled over food, or as garlic oil to flavor foods.
Garlic contains alliin. When this is ground, it makes the strong-smelling, potent antibacterial agent allicin. Garlic may have antibacterial effects. It's also said to protect against conditions related to the heart and blood vessels that cause atherosclerosis and stroke. This is because it keeps platelets from sticking together. It may also lower high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Some animal studies suggest that garlic may improve insulin release, but there is no evidence to support this effect in humans.
Other studies show that garlic may improve the elasticity of the aorta. It may also keep atherosclerotic plaque from forming.
There is some evidence that says garlic can slightly lower cholesterol levels. But recent research done by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health found that garlic has no effect on cholesterol.
Some research shows that taking garlic by mouth can modestly reduce blood pressure. This effect was seen in people with high blood pressure. It was also seen in people with normal blood pressure. The evidence indicates that garlic, when used with a knowledgeable healthcare provider, can help lower blood pressure in people with hypertension.
There may be benefits that have not yet been proven through research.
Some reports suggest that garlic may help prevent or treat cancer.
Garlic contains allicin. This is a strong antibiotic. It's released when cloves are crushed or chewed. Garlic has been used as an antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal agent. It may help the body resist or destroy viruses and other microorganisms. It does this by boosting the immune system.
Garlic is also claimed to fight infections. It may also build up strength. Garlic may also have laxative effects.
Garlic may also help treat these issues:
Chronic bronchitis
Chronic mucus in your nose and throat (catarrh)
Recurrent colds and respiratory infections
Chronic earaches
Sore throat
Sinus problems
Yeast infections
Intestinal worms
Garlic is available fresh or dried in oral capsule form. The enteric-coated capsules are easiest for the body to absorb. It also comes as an extract and as odorless supplements. The quality of commercial forms of garlic varies a lot.
Use garlic exactly as directed on the label.
Garlic has a strong taste and odor. Raw garlic can cause stomach upset in some people. Odorless garlic supplements get rid of the strong taste and odor. They may also reduce stomach upset.
Some people are allergic to garlic. When taken in large amounts, garlic may cause side effects. These include causing stomach ulcers and anemia.
Garlic can interact with certain medicines. Using supplements of garlic that contain allicin for a long time may decrease how well saquinavir (a medicine used to treat HIV) works. If you're taking this medicine, talk with your healthcare provider before using garlic. Be careful when taking blood thinner medicines, as garlic may increase the risk of bleeding.

A foreclosure property is a home that has been repossessed by the lender because the owners failed to pay the mortgage. Thousands of homes end up in foreclosure every year. Economic conditions affect the number of foreclosures, too. Many people lose their homes due to job loss, credit problems or unexpected expenses.
It is wise to be cautious when considering a foreclosure. Many experts, in fact, advise inexperienced buyers to hire an expert to take them through the process. It is important to have the house thoroughly inspected and to be sure that any liens, undisclosed mortgages or court judgments are cleared or at least disclosed.
Are there different types of foreclosures?
Judicial foreclosure action is a proceeding in which a mortgage, a trustee or another lien holder on property requests a court-supervised sale of the property to cover the unpaid balance of a delinquent debt.
Non-judicial foreclosure is the process of selling real property under a power of sale in a mortgage or deed of trust that is in default. In such a foreclosure, however, the lender is unable to obtain a deficiency judgment, which makes some title insurance companies reluctant to issue a policy.
In most states, a foreclosure notice must be published in the legal notices section of a local newspaper where the property is located or in the nearest city. Also, foreclosure notices are usually posted on the property itself and somewhere in the city where the sale is to take place.
When a homeowner is late on three payments, the bank will record a notice of default against the property. When the owner fails to pay up, a trustee sale is held, and the property is sold to the highest bidder. The financial institution that has initiated foreclosure proceedings will set the bid price at the loan amount.
Despite these seemingly straightforward rules, buying foreclosures is not as easy as it may sound. Sophisticated investors use the technique so novices may find themselves among stiff competition.
If you are strapped for cash and looking for a bargain, you will be able to buy a foreclosure property acquired by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for as little as $100 down.
With HUD foreclosures, down payments vary depending on whether the property is eligible for FHA insurance. If not, payments range from 5 to 20 percent. But when the property is FHA-insured, the down payment can go much lower.
Each offer must be accompanied by an "earnest money" deposit equal to 5 percent of the bid price, not to exceed $2,000 but not less than $500.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs also offers foreclosure properties which can be purchased directly from the VA often well below market value and with a down payment amount as low as 2 percent for owner-occupants. Investors may be required to pay up to 10 percent of the purchase price as a down payment. This is because the VA guarantees home loans and often ends up owning the property if the veteran defaults.
If you are interested in purchasing a VA foreclosure, call 1-800-827-1000 to request a current listing. About 100 new properties are listed every two weeks.
You should be aware that foreclosure properties are sold "as is," meaning limited repairs have been made but no structural or mechanical warranties are implied.
You can only purchase a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development property through a licensed real estate broker. HUD will pay the broker's commission up to 6 percent of the sales price.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development acquires properties from lenders who foreclose on mortgages insured by HUD. The properties then become available for sale to both homeowner-occupants and investors.
You can only purchase HUD-owned properties through a licensed real estate broker. HUD will pay the broker's commission up to 6 percent of the sales price.
Down payments vary depending on whether the property is eligible for FHA insurance. If not, payments range from the conventional market's 5 to 20 percent.
Buying a foreclosure property can be risky, especially for the novice. Usually, you buy a foreclosure property "as is," which means there is no warranty implied for the condition of the property (in other words, you can't go back to the seller for repairs). The condition of foreclosure properties is usually not known because an inspection of the interior of the house is not possible before the sale.
In addition to it, there may be problems with the title; though that is something you can check out before the purchase.
Buying directly at a legal foreclosure sale is risky and dangerous. It is strictly caveat emptor ("Let the buyer beware").
In addition, only estate (probate) and foreclosure sales are exempt from some states' disclosure laws. In both cases, the law protects the seller (usually an heir or financial institution) who has recently acquired the property through adverse circumstances and may have little or no direct information about it.
Can I get financing on a foreclosure?
One reason there are few bidders at foreclosure sales is that it is next to impossible to get finance for property like this. You need to show up with cash and lots of it, or a line of credit with your bank upon which you can draw cashier's checks.
Trustee sales are advertised in advance and require an all-cash bid. A sheriff, a constable or lawyer acting as trustee usually conducts the sale. This kind of sale, which usually attracts savvy investors, is not for the novice.
In a trustee sale, the lender who holds the first loan on the property starts the bidding at the loan foreclosed amount. Successful bidders receive a trustee's deed.
It depends. Distressed properties or fixer-uppers can be found anywhere, even in wealthier neighborhoods. Such properties are poorly maintained and have a lower market value than other houses in the location.
Many experts recommend that before you make such an investment, first find the least desirable house in the best neighborhood. Then do the math to see if what it would cost to bring up the value of that property to its full potential market value is within your budget. If you are a novice buyer, it may be wiser to look for properties that only need cosmetic fixes rather than run-down houses that need major structural repairs.
Qualified rehabilitated buildings and certified historic structures currently enjoy a 20 percent investment tax credit for qualified rehabilitation expenses. A historic structure is one listed in the National Register of Historic Places or so designated by an appropriate state or local historic district also certified by the government.
The tax code does not allow deductions for the demolition or significant alteration of a historic structure.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 203 (K) rehabilitation loan program is designed to facilitate major structural rehabilitation of houses with one to four units that are more than one year old. Condominiums are not eligible.
The 203(K) loan is usually done as a combination loan to purchase a fixer-upper property "as is" and rehabilitate it, or to refinance a temporary loan to buy the property and do the rehabilitation. It can also be done as a rehabilitation-only loan.
Plans and specifications for the proposed work must be submitted for architectural review and cost estimation. Mortgage proceeds are advanced periodically during the rehabilitation period to finance the construction costs.
For a list of participating lenders, call HUD at (202) 708-2720.
If you are a veteran, loans from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs also can be used to buy a home, build a home, improve a home, or refinance an existing loan. VA loans frequently offer lower interest rates than ordinarily available with other kinds of loans. To qualify for a loan, the first step is to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility.
If you need a home loan to buy a "fixer-upper" and remodel it, look at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 203(K) loan program. The program is designed to facilitate major structural rehabilitation of houses with one to four units that are more than one year old. Condominiums are not eligible.
A 203(K) loan is usually done as a combination loan to purchase a "fixer-upper" property "as is" and rehabilitate it, or to refinance a temporary loan to buy the property and do the rehabilitation. It can also be done as a rehabilitation-only loan.
Investors must put 15 percent down while owner-occupants are required to come up with only 3 to 5 percent. HUD requires that a minimum of $5,000 be spent on improvements.
Two appraisals are required. Plans and specifications for the proposed work must be submitted for architectural review and cost estimation. Mortgage proceeds are advanced periodically during the rehabilitation period to finance the construction costs.
Building codes are established by local authorities to set minimum public-safety standards for building design, construction, quality, use and occupancy, location and maintenance. There are specialized codes for plumbing, electrical and fire, which usually involve separate inspections and inspectors.
All buildings must be issued a building permit and a Certificate of Occupancy before it can be used. During construction, housing inspectors must make checks at key points. Codes are usually enforced by denying permits, occupancy certificates and by imposing fines.
Building codes also cover most remodeling projects. If you are buying a house that has been significantly remodeled, ask for proof of the permits involved before you purchase to avoid future liability for fines.
While hiring contractors recommended by friends is usually a safe route, never hire a construction professional without first checking him or her out. If your state has a licensing board for contractors, call to find out if there are any outstanding complaints against that license holder. Also, call your local Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints on file.
If you are satisfied with the answers you find there, interview the contractor candidates. Ask what kind of worker's compensation insurance they carry and get policy and insurance company phone numbers so you can verify the information. If they are not covered, you could be liable for any work-related injury incurred during the project. Also be sure that the contractor has an umbrella general liability policy.
If they pass the insurance hurdle, next check some of their references. A good contractor will be happy to provide as many as you want.
Finally, don't let yourself be rushed into making a decision no matter how competitive the market may seem. Also, never pay a deposit to a contractor at the first meeting. You may end up losing your money.
Remodeling magazine produces an annual "Cost vs. Value Report" that answers just that question. The most important point to remember is that remodeling a home not only improves its livability for you but its "curb appeal" with a potential buyer down the road.
Most recently, the highest remodeling paybacks have come from updating kitchens and baths, home-office additions and extra amenities in older homes. While home offices are a relatively new remodeling trend, for example, you could expect to recoup 58 percent of the cost of adding a home office, according to the survey.
You can find distressed properties or fixer-uppers in most communities, even wealthier neighborhoods. A distressed property is one that has been poorly maintained and has a lower market value than other houses in the immediate area.
Ascertaining whether the property you're interested in is a wise investment takes some work. You need to figure what the average house in a given area sells for, as well as what the most desirable houses in that area are like and what they cost.
Some experts suggest that buyers who take this route try to find a "cosmetic fixer" that can be completely refurbished with paint, wallpaper, new floor and window coverings, landscaping and new appliances. You should avoid run-down houses that need major structural repairs. A house price that looks too good to be true probably is. A smart buyer will find out why before buying it.
The basic strategy for a fixer is to find the least desirable house in the most desirable neighborhood, and then decide if the expenses needed to bring the value of that property up to its full potential market value are within one's rehab budget.
Using appreciation as a measure, condominiums in some areas have been as profitable an investment as single-family homes in the past five years. And in some markets, condos appreciated even more, according to some experts.
While single-family homes have been the preferred investment by homebuyers, changing demographics are helping make condos more popular, especially among single homebuyers, empty nesters and first-time buyers in high-priced markets.
Also, the condominium community has worked hard in the last few years to overcome image problems brought on by homeowners association and developer disputes as well as all too frequent construction-defect litigation.
While condos never had the kind of appreciation experienced by single-family homes in the go-go 1980s, most ultimately have not lost value, say some experts. And with high prices in many urban markets and more single homebuyers in the market than ever before, the market for condos is strong.
As with any home purchase, you should do your homework about the neighborhood or development before you buy. In the case of condominiums, it is important to read the past six months of homeowners association minutes to see how effective the board is and to learn about any possibly detracting issues (such as protracted litigation with the developer).
The condominium community has worked hard in the last few years to overcome image problems brought on by disputes and lawsuits. Associations are becoming more sophisticated about property management and taking steps to prevent legal problems and.
Condominiums have held their value as an investment despite economic downturns and problems with some associations. In fact, condos appreciated more in the past few years than when they first came on the scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s, experts say.
While there are lots of reports about homeowner's association disputes and construction-defect problems, the industry has worked hard to turn its image around. Elected volunteers who serve on association boards are better trained at handling complex budget and legal issues, for example, while many boards go to great lengths to avoid the kind of protracted and expensive litigation that has hurt resale value in the past.
Meanwhile, changing demographics are making condominiums more attractive investments for single homebuyers, empty nesters and first-time buyers in expensive markets.
Learn everything you can about the homeowners association before you buy into a development governed by one. The association's financial, political and legal conditions are very important to your investment and quality of life.
When run in a properly, homeowners associations maintain the common grounds and keep civility in the complexes. If you follow the rules, the association should not intrude on your privacy or cost you too much in association dues.
Poorly managed associations can drag down property values and make living there difficult for residents. Start by studying the association's covenants, codes and restrictions, or CC&Rs, and find out if you can live by them. For example, if the rules prohibit loud music after a certain hour and you like to play your CDs late at night, this may not be the place for you. Don't move in thinking you can get away with violating the rules or change them later because you may find yourself in turmoil with determined neighbors firmly in control of the association board.
Find out all you can about the association's finances. Beyond reviewing the budget, talk to the association treasurer and find out if dues are expected to increase and if any special assessments are planned. Ask if special inspections have revealed problems with roofs or plumbing that may cause a dues hike or special assessment later on.
Call and meet with the association president. If you are the type of person who despises intrusions into your private life and the president seems more interested in gossip about the residents than maintaining the property, this may not be the right condo complex for you.
Speak to the residents to get their views on the association's finances, its property manager, how it operates and any politics. Associations are volunteer organizations with elected boards, like a mini-government, so politics can enter the picture and spoil a good thing.
Lastly, take some time to understand how homeowners associations are organized and how they conduct business. Like all real estate investments, the more you'll know the better off you are.
If you are buying a rental income property and applying for a loan to do so, the lender will require an area rent survey by a certified appraiser. The amount a landlord can expect to receive in monthly rent largely depends on what the property has rented for in the past, the condition of the building, its location and the current housing market.
Lenders also look at other cash-flow considerations. They want to know if you have enough reserves on hand to cover predictable and unforeseen expenses, such as property insurance, taxes, regular maintenance and repairs.
You can buy a vacation home today for investment purposes as well as enjoyment. And yes, there are tax benefits.
Some people buy a vacation home to use as a permanent retirement home later, which allows them to get ahead on their payments. Another benefit is that the interest and property taxes on a vacation home are tax-deductible.
Some real estate experts predict that vacation homes will appreciate in value due to rising demand from the aging Baby Boom generation. You also can depreciate the property if you live in the house less than 14 days a year.
You also need to consider whether you can afford to carry two mortgages, pay for the extra utilities and maintenance costs, and how this investment fits into your total personal finance picture.
