Thinking of buying a home this year? We compiled five New Year’s resolutions that can help you keep your financial resume in tiptop shape. 1. Avoid job hopping.

If this looks familiar, contact an electrician today. Sadly, after 4 decades of warnings, proof that Federal Pacific falsified their testing data for UL, and testing that shows 1 in 3 Stab-Lok breakers are defective, we still find homes that are serviced by these breakers.

Imagine home valuation in this neighborhood. Every house identical… except for the ones next to the industrial site. As a VA Panel appraiser, we have access to something called “Tidewater” on VA orders. This allows us to reach out to the lender and ask for what the agent used to assist their client in pricing/making an offer on the home in question (most lenders discourage this in any other transaction).
