Our Talents
I do write books, but I'm not trying to prove anything. I love to write and I love being a mother. For me, one doesn't take away from the other. I find joy in writing; it makes me happy. Being a happy mom is important for my kids. It's important to make time in our lives for things that make us happy.
In this discussion, it was suggested that writing books should wait for a time when my kids are grown up. Now is not the time to write books, it was contended. There will be time for that later.
I know so many mothers who are writers. That kind of thinking--that we shouldn't write because our kids are small and we should put it off for later--is wrong. We all have been given talents. If we hide our talents or put them off for another time, then we're not showing our gratitude for those talents. Using our talents shows gratitude to Heavenly Father for giving us those talents.
I'll be honest. I don't have a lot of talents. I sing horribly. I can't play the piano. (I've tried, and I suck.) I'm really bad at cooking & baking. I'm not artistic. I'm not crafty. I'm not athletic.
My two talents are being a mom and writing. And, I see no reason why I can't demonstrate those two talents simultaneously.
We all have talents. I know people who sing beautifully and I love hearing them. I'm glad for mothers who use their talents to sing in choirs or do solos at church. You will never see me singing a solo in sacrament meeting. Not that I don't want to. I'd love to be able to sing, but people have told me not to. Once, even from the floor below I was told that I sing horribly. So, I won't sing, but I'm glad for those who do, who give me goose bumps when they sing solos in church.
I'm glad for moms who play the piano at church. I took a few years of piano and can do okay with my right hand, but my not my left hand. She just does not want to cooperate. So, I've tried, and I can't. I wish that I could.
When I was a teenager, one of my church teachers was a very talented singer. A few times, she participated in theatre productions. I once saw her do Annie Oakley in a local theatre's production of Annie, Get Your Gun. I cried watching her because I was so inspired by her talent. She was a mother of two at the time, and I was grateful for her supportive husband who encouraged her to display her beautiful talent.
I have a friend who sewed her daughter a coat with a matching hat! A coat. She made an actual coat! This same friend also sings amazing solos. Talents are wonderful. We all have them and we should pursue them, not hide them or put them away.
There are mothers all around us who use their talents, who don't hide them. They shouldn't hide them. I'm glad for mothers who make beautiful quilts, who make delicious desserts, who run 5K's, who take beautiful photographs, who do pottery, who cut hair, who teach piano and dance, who paint pictures, who decorate amazing cakes, who coach the girls basketball team at church, and who write books.
Can a mother write books and be a good mom? Just ask my friend, Rebecca Talley, who is a writer and has ten kids. Or, ask my friends, Tamra Norton or Tristi Pinkston, who home-school their kids and have published multiple books.
As for me and my one talent, I will continue to pursue it. It's the only I have. I'll never sing or play the piano. Yeast doesn't like to rise for me. My rice krispy treats don't stick together the way they should. The patches on my son's cub scout uniform are lop-sided. The photographs I take will continue to be off-center. I can't cut my kids' hair. But, I can write. I'm not the best writer in the world, but I do write. I'm grateful for my supportive husband who is my greatest cheerleader. He tells people he's just met about my books and carries my cards to hand out to people. He wishes I would do more book-signings. He's encouraging and supportive of my one talent.

Frankly, I write not to prove something, but so I don't go crazy being a mom! My writing makes me a better mom, because if I kept my thoughts on my kids 24/7, I wouldn't make it. I tried, and the results were bad.
There's nothing wrong with doing the things you love - whether or not you are talented at them - just because you have kids. i'm glad you don't let the people who say so beat you down. Diversity in interests doesn't make our activities in one area or another less good.

Being a mother is not one of my talents. I love my kids, but nurturing does not come naturally to me. I do have a lot of other talents though, and it is through mothering and being a wife that I've gained the self confidence to persue and share those talents.
The person I am has been set free from the confines of my mind and body. That makes me a better mom in spite of my lack of natural aptitude. My kids have someone they can follow to grow up happy and well rounded.
I don't pursue my various talents because I need to prove something, I do it because these things are part of who I am and I have spent quite enough of my life denying who I am, thank you very much.
So kudos to you Marcia. Believe it or not, your one talent will multiply into many more talents as you continue to pursue it.

This is a personal thing and you have to decide for yourself if pursuing your talents enriches you as a mother or distracts you from being a mother.
I put my FICTION writing on hold when my children were little because I couldn't do both. But I did all sorts of other writing. It made me a better mom and I think it set a good example for my children.

When I started my family, I had every intention of putting my writing on hold. I believed that I couldn't write and be a mom at the same time. But that's not how it was to be for me - the idea for my first published novel literally came to me in a dream and demanded that I pay attention to it. I listened, and I've learned that you can do both, as long as you keep things in balance. That's been the hardest part for me, is the balance thing. I can get caught up in writing a chapter and have to be reminded that I do need to make lunch, etc. but overall, like everyone has said, it does make me a better mom. We were given our talents for a reason and if we squelch them, we're not achieving the highest that is in us. I believe that we can reach for any number of dreams, as long as we also work at attaining balance.

I believe if we don't practice the talents that we do have regularly than we will lose them.
I learned that the hard way with the piano. Now, I can hardly play anything at all. After I let that go, I realized that you can lose talents so I've grabbed onto the bits and pieces of talents I have left and I've tried to practice, create and make use of them as much as I can so I can keep them.

i loved this post so much!! i don't know why i'm not visiting your blog as often as i want. i think cuz you'r bookmarked in safari and i tend to click on foxfire (ok, that was totally irrelevant! i guess writing wouldn't be a talent of mine! :) ) anyway, it's always a treat when i come to visit your blog. i'm so proud of mothers who model multi faceted behaviors for their children. i think it inspires them to see the world and it's many possibilities! thanks again for using your talents to write this post!

The Art of Charcoal
On January 21, bring your children to CushCush Gallery and let them practice their creativity by joining in the third session of the "Charcoal for Children" workshop. Organized by CushCush Gallery, this workshop is a part of the gallery's LagiLagi program and is a continuation of the previous "Make Your Own Charcoal" class. However, as the last workshop invited children to recycle off-cuts into daily utensils like spoons and forks, this time the CushCush Gallery will share how to turn twigs or off-cut timbers into drawing charcoal. Children will be able to draw and paint using charcoal as well as learn new techniques and make collaborative artwork with some invited artists. This workshop also aims to increase children's awareness of the environment and raise some funds for LagiLagi's future projects. The CushCush Gallery will also display all the artwork made during this workshop including the ones created during the first and second sessions of "Charcoal for Children" that were held in September and October of 2016. Contact the gallery for more information on the exhibition.

There is nothing more frustrating than getting stuck financially. What's even more frustrating is seeing your friends and family making financial progress while you are still stuck in the same place year in year out. But why is it so difficult for you to move ahead financially? Here's why:
Poor saving habits
When you don't have a consistent saving plan, staying stuck is bound to happen. Saving is like paying yourself for all the effort you put to work. Make a habit of rewarding yourself every month without fail, and you will see progress. Even if you don't make enough money, sacrificing a little won't kill you.
Bad adopted habits
These are bad habits picked up from maybe your dad or a friend. If, for example, your dad had a history of misusing his and other people's money and lying about where the money was going, it's likely that you may also follow that pattern. But you don't have to go down that route; you can still resist that temptation and learn from your dad's mistakes.
Once you figure out the incentives that are driving your bad habits, it would be easier to get rid of them.
Trying to match the lifestyles of others
One of the reasons why you could still be stuck in a financial rut is trying to keep up with other people's highlight reels. Just because your friend is always on vacation doesn't mean you have to go as well. Sometimes the pressure of keeping up is too intense and you end up taking a loan to finance your vacation/lifestyle.
If you want to stop living from paycheck to paycheck, don't give in to pressure to spend cash you don't have. You can start with; creating a budget that works for your lifestyle, setting boundaries, making choices that align with your values and resisting the urge to keep up.
Setting unrealistic expectations
Sometimes setting unrealistic expectations can make us go downhill very easily. Once you don't achieve these expectations, you deem yourself as a failure. And the little progress you had made will sink as well. Hence, you don't even see the need of trying anymore.
Set achievable goals, but be careful not to limit yourself too much if you want to get ahead financially.

Premier Designs is a faith-based jewelry company that sells its products through independent contractors known as Jewelers.
In order to become a Jeweler, you need to invest in some up-front initial expenses, including inventory.
The Premier Designs credit card was created to help finance your new business by helping you pay for a lot of those initial startup costs, such as business supplies and inventory.
In this 2019 review, we'll cover how the card works, how members can earn rewards and what special financing options may be available.
How the Premier Designs Credit Card Works
This is a niche card, designed specifically for Premier Designs Jewelers to finance their new business, so there are no rewards or savings available to consumers who aren't working for the company.
To qualify, you have to be an active Premier Designs Jeweler.
One of the advantages of this card is the special financing options available for qualifying purchases, such as a deferred-interest promotional plan to help you avoid paying interest on a specific purchase.
As long as you pay for your purchase in full within the plan period, you won't be charged interest.
If you are unable to do so, then you will be charged all of the interest accrued.
Cardholders may be offered the deferred-interest plan on purchases as:
- Jewelry
- Furniture
- Medical Services
For all other purchases not covered under this deferred-interest program, the APR is 28.49%.
There is a 25-day grace period for new purchases for cardholders that pay their balance in full each month.
There is no annual fee for the card, but there is a late penalty fee ranging from $27 to $38 for tardy payments.
Get to the Good Stuff – the Points!
One of the main selling points to the Premier Designs credit card is the ability to earn points with purchases.
Jewelers are automatically enrolled in this program when they open their account and earn one reward point for every dollar they spend on good or services.
To maintain eligibility for the program, cardholders must maintain an active status and be in good standing on their account.
Points are posted directly to your account and there is no maximum number of points that can be earned in a billing cycle.
Once you have earned at least 7,500 points, you can start redeeming them.
Points can be redeemed for catalogs, annual renewal fees, and retail jewelry certificates.
For example, you can earn a $150 certificate with 7,500 points all the way up to a $3,000 certificate for 75,000 points.
You will want to stay on top of how many points you have and make sure you use them since they expire two years from the date they were earned.
Because this card is specifically for Premier Designs Jewelers who want to accrue points, it's tough to say how it compares vs. other credit cards.
But if you are a Jeweler who wants the opportunity to earn points towards rewards while making business purchases, this could be your best option.

The Real Difference Between Indonesia and the Rest
Sir, Dennis de Tray (Letters, July 5) attempts to clarify the International Monetary Fund's record in dealing with Indonesia during the Asian financial crisis. He presents what has been repeated ad nauseam from the IMF/World Bank nexus: Indonesia was different from other east Asian countries and the prescribed high dose of standard reform medicine was an appropriate last ditch effort to save Indonesia.
The difference between Indonesia and other countries in the region was that Washington had decided to add regime change to the IMF's agenda. As former US secretary of state Lawrence Eagleburger put it: "We were fairly clever in that we supported the IMF as it overthrew [Suharto]. Whether that was a wise way to proceed is another question. I'm not saying Mr Suharto should have stayed, but I kind of wish he had left on terms other than because the IMF pushed him out."
Even Michel Camdessus could not find fault with this assessment. On the occasion of his retirement, he proudly proclaimed: "We created the conditions that obliged President Suharto to leave his job."

From the just-extended Patriot Act to warrantless wiretapping, in many ways it's easier than ever for law enforcement agencies to engage in domestic snooping. And it isn't limited to phones — the FBI can already access web-based email and things like Facebook messages. So what does the FBI mean when it says it needs better tools for getting wiretaps?
In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee today, FBI General Counsel Valerie Caproni cited two examples where FBI agents were unable to pursue investigations because an ISP and a social networking site didn't have the technological capability to offer law enforcement the data they were legally entitled to collect.
The law that helps cops listen in on digital-age communications, known as the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), was passed in 1994. Even though it was updated to include certain technologies, like VoIP telephone connections, it's woefully lacking in other areas, said Caproni.
Caproni acknowledged that the FBI is already able to access "stored data" on things like social networks. The problem, she said, is that the FBI has a hard time collecting data going over apps, social networks and webmail in "real time." That means "investigators will remain several steps behind" in their efforts to catch bad guys. While Caproni didn't ask Congress to take legislative action right away, the agency appears to want tech companies to be required to build mechanisms in to their products that make it easier for the government to gather the data it wants. Traditional telephone companies and related technologies like VoIP networks are already required to build in these access points.
But while Caproni laid out these problems to lawmakers, she didn't ask them for legislative action, at least not right now.
Companies like Google (NSDQ: GOOG), Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) and Facebook would be key to enabling these new types of wiretaps. But digital-media companies have largely removed themselves from the debate. Writing on his blog, privacy researcher Chris Soghoian speculates that the companies are trying to keep a low profile for now and save their political juice to weigh in on the "Do Not Track" privacy bills now on the table, which could limit behavioral advertising.
Privacy rights groups have published a "letter of concern" about the FBI's desire to update the law, saying that applying CALEA to "edge" technologies like peer-to-peer networks could damage those technologies or render them non-functional.

Grace (and I) did great with the first week of day care. We have a great in-home provider who really eased our minds about this transition. She updates us on how the day went and told us that Grace loves watching the other kids. I imagine they do much more interesting stuff than us adults. My days at work were good too. I wore real clothes (not comfy pants or hooded sweatshirst) and real shoes (not slippers or footie socks). I had real conversations (by "real" I mean conversations with words : ) And I really looked forward to picking Gracie up.
Now we put her to bed between in the early evening, so we make the most of the time we have with her when we get home. On Friday Gracie surprised us by holding her head up (see photo).
Grace is only in day care four days a week, but it's still quite the adjustment. I'm so used to being with her all day that it was weird to not be. I remember three months ago it freaked me out to think I'd be caring for this new being all day and all night, and now that I'm no longer doing that ... it's different. Not good, not bad, just different.

The demand for body contouring in NYC is growing by the day, with more and more men and women flocking to NYC surgical practices to achieve their dream physique. Advanced body contouring surgery involves excision with liposuction which is minimally invasive surgery for safe removal of unwanted fat between the skin and muscular fascia. Recent reports indicate that the global liposuction surgery devices market is expected to see rapid growth. According to medGadget, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% and reach a value of USD 12,852 million by the end of 2021. The report says that the key factor driving this growth is the rising incidence of obesity.
According to World Health Organization, more than 1.9 billion people were overweight in 2016, out of which, 650 million were obese. Besides obesity, competition is driving technological innovation and this is also increasing the demand for liposuction devices. The other key factors driving the growth of this market include
- Increasing aesthetic consciousness
- Rising disposable income
- Technological advancement and reduction in costs

The Void has managed to reach in to the hearts of the Korrigan and found darkness to exploit and is touch corruption of the flesh and twisting of what is generally a good natured race. Inane babbling and what seems pointless direction guide the way in which a Hobgoblin moves and acts - making any who have seen one to think they are in fact insane.
Level One: Twisted Bones: The Hobgoblin gains +1 Hits to all Locations.
Level Two: Twisted Flesh: The Hobgoblin gains +2 Hits to all Locations.
Level Three: Twisted Blood: Three times per day the blood of the Hobgoblin can be used as any type of material component for Hobgoblin Alchemy - if the blood is harvested by Alchemists to be used, its use is always completely random in its outcome, making it an unstable component.
Level Four: Twisted Minds: The Hobgoblin gains +4 Mundane dodges per day.
Level Five: Twisted Heart: By taking prisoners, over the course of five days, by concocting this alchemical brew known only to the Hobgoblins, the Hobgoblin can force feed a victim into drinking pure Void Taint - so a loyal member of the Elemental Union could be turn corrupt over the course of five days.

Love a good topless selfie but lacking in the ab department? There's now an app for that.
Manly is the latest photo editing app designed specifically for men who want to
catfish like a God look hotter than they really do on social profiles.
The app allows users to edit their photo to an endless array of aesthetic options in order to appear more "manly". To be more specific, users take a body shot like they would for Instagram and run it through the photo editing program. The options range in everything from general body shape to chest and pecs to abs and biceps. There's even a "Chic and cool tattoos" feature which allows men to add a raft of tattoo designs to create the ultimate
fuccboi representation of the modern bachelor.
It doesn't end there though, Manly even allows users to alter their skin colour and change their hair-dos and beard styles. Users who want to go full narcissist can opt for accessories or coloured contact lenses. It's basically a surgery-free way to follow in Rodrigo Alves' footsteps, limited only by one's
stupidity imagination.
Whilst it's easy for most men to have a laugh at such an app, other social commentators and male body image advocates haven't been so impressed.
"A lot of people think body image struggles only affect women, but we've seen an increasing number of men desperately trying to live up to the male beauty ideal that we constantly see across the media and advertising- a 'fit, ribbed and bulky' body," Denise Hatton, co-founder of the Be Real Campaign, told The Independent.
"Apps like Manly play into the damaging narrative that to be considered an attractive man, you need to look a certain way, making it extremely toxic for impressionable young men. Just when we finally started to see progress with brands becoming more responsible through their advertising and reducing excessive airbrushing, then comes along an app like Manly. This app and others like it are a massive step backwards in creating a society that is less focussed on appearance and more about who we are."
Manly launched on the App Store late last year and has been fielding cries of refund since. It does however have a high rating probably due to its novelty factor and because it's free to download.
Watch the promo video below to see how the app works.

Flex D'Paper who goes by the moniker 'Kampala boy' of the famous Rapaholix has a new mixtape
Rap music has evolved and several Ugandan rappers have tried to evolve with it. Our very own Flex D'Paper who goes by the moniker 'Kampala boy' of the famous Rapaholix music label is back with a bang! A new mixtape called Not For Sale is already on sale.
We caught up with him and asked him where he has been all this while and why the new mixtape name.
I have been around the globe trying to piece up something good for the rap ears. The title Not For Sale, is inspired by three different reasons.
I have never released a full solo project myself, unlike some rappers in Uganda so this is my first project after being in the game since December 2011 when I was at campus.
Secondly, with increased human trafficking, which is becoming a problem in Uganda I thought I would dedicate this mix tape to the people who have experienced this first hand or have relatives going through this.
We see this daily in the press and social media, but few people openly talk about it.
Lastly, the title is inspired by the common landgrabbing issue that has affected many Ugandans. From houses to land, I noticed there is a Not for Sale sign on them. So this is another dedication I am making to people who have suffered from land wrangles directly or indirectly.
There you have it folks, Flex D'Paper is back and look out for his new single called YenzeAliko, it is fire!

If you are like most home buyers, then you are going to need a mortgage to finance buying a brand new residence. Rent To Own Homes Whiteville Nc
To qualify, you need to have a good credit score and cash for a deposit.
Without all these, the traditional route to home ownership may not be an alternative.
There is an option, however: a rent-to-own agreement, where you rent a house for a particular period of time, using the choice to purchase it before your lease expires.
Rent-to-own agreements consist of 2 components: a standard lease agreement and an option to buy.
Here is a rundown of things to look out for and the way the rent-to-own process functions.
It's more complex than leasing and you will have to take extra precautions to secure your interests.
Doing this will help you figure out whether the price is a great pick if you're trying to purchase a home.
You Want to Pay Alternative Money
In a rent-to-own agreement, you (as the buyer) pay the seller a one-time, generally non refundable, upfront fee known as the alternative fee, alternative money or alternative consideration.
This charge is what gives you the choice to buy the house by some date in the future.
The option fee is often negotiable, since there's no typical speed.
Still, the fee typically ranges between 2.5% and 7 percent of their cost.
In certain contracts all or a number of this alternative money can be placed on the eventual purchase price at closing.
Read the Contract Carefully: Lease Option vs. Lease Purchase
It is essential to remember that there are various sorts of rent-to-own arrangements, with some being more consumer friendly and flexible than others.
Lease-option contracts give you the best — although not the obligation — to buy the home when the lease expires.
In case you choose not to purchase the property at the end of the rental, the option only dies, and you may walk away with no obligation to continue paying rent or to purchase.
To possess the option to purchase with no responsibility, it has to be a lease-option agency.
Because legalese may be difficult to decode, it's almost always a good idea to review the contract with a qualified real estate lawyer before signing anything, which means you know your rights and precisely what you're getting into.
Specify the Purchase Price
Rent-to-own agreements must define if and how the property's purchase price is set.
Sometimes you and the seller will agree on a cost when the contract has been signed — often at a greater cost than the current market value.
In other situations the price is determined when the lease expires, depending on the home's then-current market value.
Many buyers prefer to"lock in" the buy price, particularly in markets where housing prices are trending up.
Know What's Rent Buys
You will pay rent throughout the lease term.
The issue is if a part of each payment is applied to the ultimate purchase price.
For example, if you pay $1,200 in rent every month for three years, and 25% of this is credited toward the cost, you are going to make a $10,800 rent credit ($1,200 x 0.25 = $300; $300 x 36 months = $10,800).
Usually, the lease is a bit higher than the going rate for your region to make up for the rent credit you get.
But make sure to understand what you are getting for paying that premium.
Maintenance: It Could Not Be Like Leasing
Based upon the terms of the contract, you might be accountable for maintaining the home and paying more for repairs.
As sellers are finally responsible for any homeowner association fees, insurance and taxes (it is still their residence , after all)they generally decide to cover these costs.
In any event you are going to need a renter's insurance coverage to cover losses to personal property and supply liability coverage if someone is injured while at the home or if you accidentally injure someone.
Be sure maintenance and repair needs are clearly mentioned in the arrangement (ask your attorney to explain your duties ).
Maintaining the house — e.g., mowing the yard, raking the leaves and cleaning the gutters out — is very different in replacing a damaged roofing or bringing the electric around code.
Whether you'll be accountable for everything or just mowing the yard, have the home inspected, arrange an appraisal and make sure the real estate taxes are up to date prior to signing anything.
Purchasing the Home
What happens when the contract finishes depends upon which sort of agreement you have signed.
In case you've got a lease-option contract and need to get the property, you'll probably need to acquire a mortgage (or other financing) so as to cover the vendor in total.
Conversely, should you opt not to buy the home — or are unable to secure funding by the end of the lease term — the alternative expires and you go out of the home, just as though you were leasing any additional property.
You'll likely forfeit any money paid up to that point, including the option money and any lease credit got, but you won't be under some obligation to continue renting or to purchase the house.
In case you have a lease-purchase contract, then you might be legally obligated to buy the property when the lease expires.
This is sometimes problematic for many reasons, especially if you aren't able to procure a mortgage.
Lease-option contracts are almost always preferable to lease-purchase contracts because they provide more flexibility and you also don't risk getting sued if you're unwilling or unable to buy the house when the lease expires.
Who's|Who is|Who Is} an Ideal Candidate for Rent-to-Own
A rent-to-own arrangement may be an fantastic alternative if you're an aspiring homeowner but aren't quite prepared, financially speaking.
These arrangements give you the chance to get your money in order, improve your credit rating and save money for a down payment while"locking in" the house you'd like to own.
If the alternative money or a proportion of the lease goes toward the cost — that they often do you also get to build some equity.
While rent-to-own agreements have traditionally been targeted toward people who can not qualify for repaying loans, there is a second set of candidates that have been largely overlooked by the staffing industry: those who can't get mortgages in pricey, nonconforming loan economies.
"In high-cost urban real estate markets, in which jumbo [nonconforming] loans would be the norm, there's a huge requirement for a better solution for financially viable, credit-worthy men and women who can't get or don't want a mortgage yet," says Marjorie Scholtz, creator and CEO of Verbhouse, a San Francisco–based start-up that's redefining the rent-to-own industry.
"As housing prices rise and a growing number of cities are priced from conforming loan limits and pushed into jumbo loans, the problem shifts from customers to the house finance industry," says Scholtz.
With strict automated underwriting guidelines and 20 percent to 40 percent down-payment needs, even financially capable individuals may have trouble getting financing in these types of markets.
"anything unusual — in income, for example — tosses good income earners in an'outlier' standing because underwriters can't match them into a box," says Scholtz.
Including people who have nontraditional incomes, which are either self explanatory or contract employees, or possess unestablished U.S. credit (e.g., overseas nationals) — and those who simply lack the tremendous 20% to 40 percent down payment banks demand nonconforming loans.
High-cost markets are not the obvious spot you'll locate rent-to-own properties, which is exactly what makes Verbhouse unusual.
However, all possible rent-to-own home buyers would benefit from trying to compose its consumer-centric features into rent-to-own contracts:
The option fee and a portion of every lease payment purchase down the buy price dollar-for-dollar, the rent and price are locked in for as much as five years, and participants can build equity and catch market appreciation, even when they choose not to purchase.
According to Scholtz, participants may"cash out" at the reasonable market value: Verbhouse sells the home and the participant retains the market appreciation plus any equity they have accumulated through rent"buy-down" obligations.
Do Your Homework
Even though you'll rent before you buy, it's a fantastic idea to work out the identical due diligence as if you were buying the house outright.
If You Are Thinking about a rent-to-own property, Be Certain to:
- Choose the Appropriate terms. |} Enter a lease-option agreement rather than a lease-purchase arrangement.
- Hire a qualified real estate lawyer to spell out the contract and also help you know your rights and duties. You may choose to negotiate a few points before signing or prevent the bargain if it is not favorable enough to you.
- Research that the contract. Be sure to know:
- the obligations (what's because )
- the option fee and lease payments — and just how much each applies towards the purchase price
- the way the purchase price depends upon
- how to exercise your option to purchase (by way of instance, the vendor could ask that you offer advance notice in writing of your intention to buy)
- whether pets are permitted
- who's responsible for maintenance, homeowner association dues, property taxes and such.
- Research the home. Order a different evaluation, acquire a property inspection, make sure the property taxes are up to date and ensure there are no liens on the home.
- Check the seller's credit report to look for signs of financial problem and receive a title report to see how long the seller has owned it — the longer they've owned it and the greater equity, the greater.
- Dual check. Under which conditions could you lose your option to purchase the property? Under some contracts, then you eliminate this right if you are late on just one lease payment or if you fail to notify the vendor in writing of your intention to purchase.
The Bottom Line
A rent-to-own agreement enables prospective property buyers to move to a home right away, with several years to work on improving their credit ratings or saving to get a down payment before trying to receive a mortgage.
Naturally, certain provisions and requirements must be fulfilled, in accordance with the rent-to-own arrangement.
Even if a property broker helps with the procedure, it is vital to see a qualified real estate attorney who will explain the contract and your rights before you sign up.
As with anything, always consult with the proper professionals before entering into any kind of agreement.

The first season of the John Cooper era at Miami University is officially in the books.
Cooper's RedHawks completed a 9-22 campaign Wednesday night with a 58-47 loss to Eastern Michigan in the second round of the Mid-American Conference men's basketball tournament at Quicken Loans Arena.
Will Felder and Jon Harris led the way with 14 points apiece as 11th-seeded MU committed 20 turnovers and shot just 35.0 percent from the floor, losing for the 14th time in the last 16 games.
"I think what you saw tonight in many ways was who we were," Cooper said. "Now do you want to admit that as a coach? No, but that's who we were. I think you've seen through various points of the season where we'd go through scoring droughts. That puts a lot of pressure on your defense.
"Then of course we had games where we turned the ball over entirely too much. In fact, some of the turnovers make you go, 'Wow.' You sit back and you look at yourself and you wonder what's going on.
"Having said that, that was that. Would you want to change it? Yes, but it wasn't something that we didn't continue to work on. There's a reason why we go out and recruit. This group in my opinion was very good at trying to do what we asked. Not one time did this group look at us like we had horns in our head. They tried to do everything we asked them to do, so that's all you can ask."
Vince Legarza, the RedHawks' lone senior, ended his career by scoring two points. He hit his only shot, adding an assist and a steal in 16 minutes.
Legarza, a 6-foot-9 center, broke down in the postgame press conference as he reflected on his five years in Oxford.
"I'm really thankful for my time at Miami and all the different people that I got to meet and play with and play for," Legarza said. "I'll forever be grateful for the opportunity and always be proud to see that Miami M and follow these guys into the future. I'm so excited for the guys that are going to be around and coming in because they're going to get it going, and it's going to be a great thing for alumni and guys that have played here to watch."
Cooper said he's looking forward to maintaining a relationship with Legarza.
"Vince Legarza is a hell of a person," Cooper said. "To me, at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. I probably shouldn't say this, but once he's out of school, I can't wait to sit down and have a cold beer with him and just laugh and talk."
Wednesday's game was ugly in a lot of ways, and not just on MU's end. Not known for its offensive prowess, Eastern didn't shoot particularly well (43.2) and racked up 16 turnovers, but the Eagles' 2-3 zone defense was in fine form.
"Defensively, I thought we were really good," EMU coach Rob Murphy said. "We've bought into the defensive side of the ball all year. I think coming into postseason play, the main difference has been (7-foot) Da'Shonte Riley. He's been super active, and he's not allowed the ball to be thrown into the post. He's blocked shots. He's altered shots. He's gotten steals. Anytime he's playing that aggressively on defense, that makes it tough for anybody to score on us inside."
Riley collected 10 points, nine rebounds, four steals and three blocked shots for Eastern. Derek Thompson (14 points, five assists, four boards), Daylen Harrison (11 points, five caroms) and Glenn Bryant (10 points) also scored in double figures for the seventh-seeded Eagles (16-17).
EMU trailed 10-5 midway through the first half, which says something about the type of game this was. Eastern led 28-25 at halftime after Thompson buried a trey just before the buzzer, then started the second half with a 12-4 spurt.
The RedHawks were never really in the contest from there.
"Their size bothers us," Cooper said. "Even if you get past the first wave of the zone, you still have to deal with the size. One of the things about playing against the zone is you have to play inside out, but you also have to be able to step up and make shots. That's not necessarily a strength of ours."
Some of Miami's turnovers were caused by the Eagles. Some were just passes to nobody.
"Just throwing the ball away without any type of defense on us — things like that definitely hurt us down the line, and it did tonight," Felder said. "We had a little bit of trouble with size. We've got to understand how to work against it."
Said Legarza, "I wouldn't question any of our guys' effort tonight. Their zone was frustrating, and we couldn't really get anything going against it."
EMU. a 65-58 winner over MU on Jan. 19, advances to play No. 3 Western Michigan on Thursday night. Miami, meanwhile, will move into the offseason with a lot of question marks.
"It gives us a lot of motivation," Felder said of having the most losses in school history (excluding the 1988-89 forfeit year). "We've been through it all this season. I think we'll be a lot smarter team next year."

Connor Goldson will remain at Cheltenham Town for a further month we can confirm.Defender Connor Goldson will remain a Cheltenham Town player for a further month after a loan extension was agreed with Shrewsbury Town.
The 21 year-old defender initially joined the club on loan at the end of November with the spell set to end on January 4th but Mark Yates and Graham Turner have confirmed a deal which will see Connor's loan extended until the end of the month with a 24 hour recall option for the Shrews.
For Connor, it is a chance for first team football and he is delighted to have extended his stint at the Abbey Business Stadium.
"I'm enjoying it here and looking forward to playing a few more games and helping us to get some more points on the board," Connor told www.ctfc.com.
"It was disappointing to have a couple of games called off because we all wanted to bounce back and get another run going after the Mansfield game but we're all looking ahead to the weekend now.
"I'm happy to be playing regularly and over the next month hopefully that can continue and we can keep some more clean sheets and get some more wins."
To date he has made three starting appearances and one from the bench for Cheltenham Town with two clean sheets coming against Fleetwood and Exeter whilst he partnered Troy Brown in the back four.
