Refinance your mortgage a good idea to save

Do you know that refinancing your mortgage can save a considerable amount of money on your mortgage rates? Refinancing your mortgage helps you to enjoy the benefit of lower interest rates and reduce your monthly mortgage repayment amount. If you are planning to refinance your mortgage then you need to consider several things to pick up the best deal available in the financial market. Before selecting someone to refinance your mortgage you need to check the details of your present mortgage. That is how many years are remaining for your loan period and which type of interest rate you are currently paying for your mortgage. These days there are several money lenders who offer mortgage refinancing services. But you need to be very careful while selecting a mortgage lender. Before selecting any money lender you need to talk with various lenders and know the various refinancing schemes they offer. This helps you to get a clear idea of how much monthly repayment amount you need to pay after you refinance your mortgage. Check whether the mortgage lender has calculated your monthly repayment amount from the principal left on your mortgage. Remember to compare your present interest rate and the previous interest rate and make sure that your new interest rate is lower than the original one. Some people refinance their mortgage to get some additional money for home improvement or other expenses while some others refinance their mortgage to save money on their present mortgage. Whatever the reason for your refinancing plan let your money lender know that. Most mortgage lenders offer refinancing for 10 to 40 years. It is better from your part to suggest to your mortgage lender a refinancing period after calculating the monthly repayment amount. Similar to other loans, you can select fixed rate mortgages and adjustable rate mortgages. Most people tend to use fixed rate interests for their mortgages. The main advantage of using fixed rate interest rates is that it is less risky compared to the adjustable rate mortgages. This is because the interest rate of adjustable rate mortgages always tends to change – that is you cannot predict how much interest you need to pay in the next month. Nowadays there are many mortgage lenders who offer their services through internet. This is an easy way to find a perfect mortgage lender. Online refinancing helps you to find a mortgage lender with the convenience of your home or office. Just do a search in the internet search engines to find a perfect money lender who can offer you services which best suit your needs.

Is it possible to have a fairytale wedding on a shoestring budget

In her e-book "How to have your fairytale wedding on a shoestring budget" Melinda Barton shows you how to have that dream wedding without spending a fortune. She takes you through some of the important industry secrets that help you to ask the right questions and save money. While the website promoting this ebook is a bit hypey and includes some bonus e-books which sound good but are not of any great value, I found the main 83 page e-book to be packed with very useful material. Melinda takes you from the basics of organising and budgeting through to buying advice for rings, your dress, music, venues, flowers, photographers and more. Melinda Barton, is an international wedding planner who hates to see brides spending money unnecessarily. One of her favourite moments was wearing a $3,575 wedding dress that cost her $680. She believes with the right advice anyone can do the same. In 'How to have your fairytale wedding on a shoestring budget", I found it reassuring that it starts with the right planning foundations and progresses to all the exciting stuff. It is all too easy to get carried away and find you have no money left. The advice on each topic is well structured. For example the four pages on wedding dress selection starts with general guidelines to consider before you start to shop, then looks at ways to save money and key questions to ask suppliers to fairly compare prices and not get caught out. The level of detail in this e-book leaves you feeling more confident as you are not entering an unknown situation. Instead you are armed with a good starting knowledge of what to expect before you walking the door. Apparently there are over 176 ways to save money. These methods are often obvious once they are pointed out but you need either this book or someone who has done it all before to point them out. Sometimes you will be surprised that there are alternatives to consider rather than following the paths that everyone else does. One very useful and time-saving section is right at the end where you will find a 15 page section with well thought out planning sheets to help with budget, record all the prices you get quoted as well as three pages of comprehensive checklists counting down to the big day. The ebooks makes a bold claim that the advice could "save [you] at least 50% from your wedding expenses". Does it measure up? If you follow the majority of the advice you will certainly make some good savings. You will certaintly save more than the cost of the ebook. The book comes with a 90 day no questions money back guarantee if you don't save at least ten times the ebook cost. One weakness I found is that I would have liked to have seen more advice on negotiating for the best prices. Asking the right questions from the ebook will help but some guidance on easy negotiating tactics would have greatly boosted the value of the ebook. If you want to quickly grasp the essentials of good planning and making all the main purchases I recommend this ebook and give it a high recommendation and 8 out of 10. For more information on Melinda's book "How to have your fairytale wedding on a shoestring budget", please visit weddingplanningsecret Hopefully Melinda will create some more e-books on other wedding related topics. Maybe with some real life bridal tales from her wedding planning experiences.

Optimizing google adsense for better performance and more money

So you want to make money with Google Adsense? I don't blame you, who doesn't want residual income! This article will show you how to better optimize Google Adsense to make more money from your web site(s)... Before we get into it, learn more about Google Adsense here: google/services/adsense_tour/ First and foremost is: Positioning Where you position your Adsense link boxes and banner ads is extremely important. Trying to make money from the bottom of your pages within your website just won't cut it. You need to add your Adsense links right in the heart of your template or right in the heart of your content. I would personally suggest both actually. Adding Adsense in the heart of your template: Link Units: Since the introduction of Google Adsense "link units", we can now add what looks like a "menu system" to compliment our menu system within our website. This is HUGE. Have you ever just clicked on a website and kept clicking on the menu links? I know we all have. By adding a "Google link units" to your menu, you will get more clicks than you thought possible. Try adding the link units near the top for better performance and try creating your link units to match the color of your menu system in place. Once in a while I find myself clicking on a menu link unit without even realizing it which in turn gives more money to the website owner. Leaderboards & Skyscrapers: These may very well be your "bread & butter". I only say this because of the sheer size of these ads units. The best place to add these ad units is obvious; Straight across the very top of your website (leaderboards), and straight down the side of your template (skyscrapers). Anywhere else may not look proper within your template and may look unprofessional. Square & Rectangle Ad Units: These are great to compliment the mass amount of content within your website and also within your recommended resources. You want to compliment your content, you don't want Adsense to BE your content because this will look poor on your part. Adsense is very popular with webmasters; who doesn't want to make some extra money. However, don't forget that many of your visitors are also used to seeing Adsense within a website, and need a good reason to click on them. Square and rectangular units are great to use within articles posted on your website or within your link resources. Try adding your Adsense boxes above your resource links within a page to give your Adsense account that added extra exposure. Just remember that Google allows up to 3 ad units per page. Using these 3 strategies will help to better optimize Adsense for positioning! Let's now go onto targeting... website content development Optimizing Adsense: Taking out non-related ads! Do you ever wonder how ads like "business card specials" ever get displayed on to your website when your company content is all about baby clothing? Since the introduction of "Adwords Site Targeting", we now have to keep an eye on the ads being displayed on our website(s)panies may now specifically target your website for more exposure. There is no restriction whether the website is content related or not, just more marketing exposure for the advertiser. Filtering Adsense Advertisers: Within your Adsense manager, you have the option of using the "Competition Filter" which allows us to remove certain websites from the ads being displayed regularly. This is going to be an on-going optimization task in the future. Without filtering the ads being displayed within your website, you might find yourself with ads unrelated to your industry and possibly some ads that have a negative effect within your site. If you don't remove all the unwanted ads being displayed on your website, you might end up hurting your Adsense performance online. The more targeted you can get your Google Adsense ads to display on each page, the better your chances at being able to make more money. Try to take a moment every week to study the ads being displayed on your website. Open up a note pad, or word document and record all the websites you don't want to be displayed anymore. Add these sites to your "filter list" within your Adsense account. Remember to add the website (within your filter list) like so: smartads. info - without the Adding anything after or before the url will only prevent the company from displaying one of their many ads like so ( site/ads/1.html). This way you stop anything from the entire website from showing up within your Adsense campaign online. The more you optimize your Adsense filter, the better your performance will pick up and the less non-related ads will be displayed on your website. One constant that holds true with Adsense: The more pages you have with your Adsense campaign being displayed, the more you WILL make. People who have online networks immediately can profit from Google Adwords because they have the power to add their Adsense boxes & banners onto multiple websites, possibly 1000's of pages. Should you add Adsense to your website? If you own a small company that has a brochure type website that gets maybe 50-100 visitors a day, I recommend NOT adding Adsense to your site. It will never make enough money with that kind of traffic. Remember: Your Adsense campaign needs to make over $100 to get paid out. If your company receives around 500-1000+ visitors a day, you can now start considering to make money through Google. Adsense is all about numbers. Play the numbers to make more money. In fact, try making goals for yourself to make X amount of dollars through your Adsense account by a certain time. Doing this will only increase your business and make your company more powerful online by increasing the amount of traffic it receives. For multiple websites, channels are important: Google allows you to track the performance of multiple websites all in one account which ultimately gives you the ability to track how many visitors you're getting for each website. It also allows you to work harder on those sites that aren't up to par. I consistently look at each individual website channel to work harder at promoting the ones that aren't performing well. By doing this, we increase the amount of promotion going into the websites that under perform, and in turn eventually increase the business for those websites as well. The more you promote your website, the more the exposure you will ultimately deliver for your Adsense campaign and your company. Google Search with Adsense: To top all that off, you can add Google search within your site to give visitors a search function for your content and to allow people to also click on your Adsense program. Please note that for Google search to work, your website and all of its content pages must already be indexed by Google. Adding the Google search bar to your site right away won't help your visitors at all. For more Google Adsense optimization tips, go here: https:// google/support/adsense/bin/static. py? page=tips. html Don't forget to read the Google Adsense Policies & Procedures: https:// google/adsense/policies I hope this article helps you to make more money!

Right blusher for the right type of skin

Gone are the days when women stuck to one color blusher usually pinks or peaches. Now days, blushers come in a whole new variety of colors and different formulations. There are vast array of clever new formulas. The main choices are traditional powder, a cream texture, a modern liquid or a gel finish. So there is certainly one out there to suit your skin type. Powder blush is the easiest to use. If you prefer this type, choose one that isn't too sparkly or it'll enhance your wrinkles. Shimmery blushers are far kinder to mature skin as they diffuse fine lines, making the delicate skin around your cheeks look younger. And as your skin feels drier as you get older, you could also try moisturizing cream formula that gives a flattering sheen to your skin. All Skin Types Right type: LIQUID CHEEK STAINS Reason: They're excellent for all skin types and face shapes, as you can use a little to achieve a natural flush of color, or layer to build up the shading to an intense hue that will last all through the day. How to apply: They work best on bare cheeks and need to be applied quickly to avoid mistakes. Apply powder blusher over cheek stains for ultimate staying powder. Dry or Combination Skin Right type: CREAM Reason: Cream blusher is the best if you have dry to combination skin as there's no powder to sit on your dry patches. Also, the texture helps your skin maintain a natural , luminous glow. How to apply: It's easy to apply on bare skin or over foundation. If you have a round face don't shade apples of your cheek instead apply it on your cheekbones, slanting towards your temples. Oily Skin Right type: POWDER Reason: It's classic, and perfect for achieving dense color coverage. It's the best texture for contouring your cheekbones, and is ideal for oily skin as it lies well on your skin's surface and reduces shine. How to apply: Sweep on to your cheeks in a croissant shape for a natural - looking flush. Mature Skin Right type: GEL OR MOUSSE Reason: Mousse and gel formulas are great for mature skins and if you want a subtle result. They can be worn alone on bare skin or layered over foundation, before powder, and are less fiddy to use than liquid stains. All mousse formulas offer pretty velvety finish and are really smooth to apply. How to apply: When putting on gel or mousse blusher, tap it gently on to your cheeks and blend upwards and outwards with your fingertips. But don't apply it on top of your make - up as you will not be able to blend it.

Patpong nightlife entertainment in bangkok

Patpong is renowned for its go-go bars, discos and late night "constellations." Despite it's somewhat unsavory reputation, it's remarkably safe to visit - though it's as well to stick to the downstairs bars, as some of the upper floor establishments have been known to overcharge. Soi Patpong 1 has a few go go bars but is mainly a shopping street where foreign couples shop and drink. Soi Patpong 2 has numerous smaller beer bars (ba bia in Thai), as well as a row of karaoke establishments and the most popular restaurants on the strip. Soi Patpong 3, an unassuming dead-end lane, is more of a gay venue. The strip comes alive in the early evening, but with the exception of a handful of constellations is more-or-less closed down by 1am. Although sex is for sale in Patpong, the area is much more than just a red light area, being frequented by young Thais and foreign visitors who dance, talk and dine into the small hours. What to see tonight? • Ping Pong Show • Black Marker writing from pussy • Big neon string pulled from pussy (2-3 meter) • Water transfer from bottle to bottle • Dropping weird neon light balls in to a cup • Naked Dancing

Three places to find new clients without a lot of work

: 1. Don't ignore your own "Acres of diamonds" - ask your existing clients to refer some of their family, friends and associates to you. If they're happy with your service they will be more than happy to do it and your job will be much easier since they are coming recommended by someone they trust. 2. Former employers and associates in other fields can be a great resource for finding new business. Give them a call, or better yet - have lunch and catch up with them but don't be shy to ask for referrals! 3. Ask your current prospects who they know that may need your products or services. It may sound odd at first but give it a try and your opinion may quickly change. Especially if you've gone out of your way to help them. Remember that most good people generally enjoy helping others when you make it easy for them. When you ask the people inside your circle of influence to help you by referring new clients, you're helping yourself, you're helping them by enabling them to help you, and you're helping the potential clients by providing a quality product or service that they need.

Common risks involved in real estate investments

Common Risks Involved in Real Estate Investments While a good many millionaires will agree that their fortunes were made in real estate, the honest ones will also tell you that they've probably lost a few fortunes in real estate along the way. This is a risky business and every property purchased doesn't always pan out to become a successful investment. There are many risks involved in real estate investing and you would be going to battle unprepared if you didn't take a moment to carefully study these risks and work to avoid them when planning your property investment strategy. Unfortunately, there are very few one size fits all risks for real estate investing, as each type of investing is inherently different. This means that each type of real estate investment will involve a new set of risks. Below you will find a brief overview of different styles of investing and the common risks that are involved in each. Rental Properties This type of investing offers some risks that are unique and some that are also risks when investing in properties that are lease-to-own or rent-to-own as well. First and foremost is the risk of failing to make a profit. If the property in question cannot achieve an adequate monthly income to cover the expenses of operating the property then it is not a solid investment. Other risks include the risk of getting bad tenants. This is particularly hard on first time investors. Bad tenants are costly and in some cases destructive (which leads to even greater expense). Vacancies are another risk for rental properties. These properties are only costing money as they sit empty rather than earning money as they were intended. Short turnovers are in your best interest as are long-term tenants. "Flipped" Properties This is one of the most enjoyable types of property investments for many 'hands on' investors. This allows the investor to roll up his or her sleeves and take an active role in creating the masterpiece that will eventually bring in serious revenue (at least that is the hope). This is also one of the riskier investments, particularly when trying to turn a profit in what is known as a buyer's market. The risks are simple but often overlooked and they can have a significant impact on the overall success or failure of the project. First of all, the biggest risk is in paying too much for the property. Other risks include underestimating the costs of repairs, over estimating the ability of the investor to do the work him or herself, taking too much time, experiencing a down turn in the housing market, making the wrong judgment call for the neighborhood, becoming overly ambitious, and getting greedy. Sometimes it is much better to walk away with a lesser profit than to end up loosing money by holding out. Personal Residence Keep in mind that your personal home is essentially an investment. The intention is that your home will gain in value over time and that equity in your home will build as you age. There are risks involved in this transaction as well. Buying a home that is in a 'borderline' area or one that is not showing obvious signs of growth is one of the biggest risks. This puts your home in the position to lose rather than gain value. This can make your home a burden rather than the investment it was intended to be. Other risks involve is becoming involved in a loan situation that is not at all beneficial (such as an adjustable rate mortgage or an unreasonable balloon payment). Perhaps the biggest risk of all when purchasing a personal residence as an investment is failing to get a proper inspection that could rule out potentially costly and even dangerous problems within the home your purchase for you and your family. Toxic mold is one problem that comes easily to mind that most proper home inspections would almost immediately rule out. Others include structural problems that are costly to repair and dangerous to leave in disrepair. Each of these risks should be considered before an offer is made on any property. For those seeking to turn impressive profits in short order, real estate is one way in which this can be accomplished. It is in your best interest however to be aware of the risks that are involved and take careful steps to minimize those risks. Taking these steps now may cost a little more on the front end but in many cases the pay off for doing so well outweigh the expenses. 762

Selecting the best deck railing designs for your custom home

Selecting Deck Railing Designs That Match Your Style Most people invest a lot of time and energy into finding the right deck railing designs for their home. Fortunately there is a wide selection of free deck railing designs available on the web for you to choose from. The first step toward selecting the right design for your railing is deciding the right design for your porch. Here are some things to think about when deciding the best porch for your home: 1. Consider your lifestyle. A porch is a key element for many homes. Your lifestyle will determine how large a porch you need for example. If you spend on enjoying long afternoons entertaining friends and family outdoors, you may need a larger surface to work on than if you plan to seldom use your porch. 2. Decide the best place for your porch. For most this is the front of the home or south facing. However some prefer to watch the sunset on their porch so this will dictate location. 3. Select the right materials. Once you decide on the right porch you’ll need to select materials for both the porch and the railings. Most people opt for railings crafted or wood or metal, though you may consider other materials. You’ll want to look for designs that match the style of your home. Some railings and porches for example are better suited for contemporary style homes than Victorian style ones. Popular Free Railing Designs Most people save their money for equipment not for buying designs for their railings. The most popular porch designs often involve wood. Wooden porches and wooden railings often complement both contemporary and Victorian or other style homes. While wood does require some maintenance over time, so too do other materials like wrought iron. Some find the upkeep for wooden railings less tedious than the brushing required to keep iron railings rust free. Your choice of materials may also depend on your environment. Some prefer metal railings because they live in low moisture areas and prefer something durable and weatherproof. Metal designs may also appeal to individuals looking for intricate or ornate fixtures to incorporate in their porch. Here are some additional considerations when selecting a design for your railing: • Consider the cost and expense of deck railing designs. The more intricate the designs and more closely tied to the architectural style of your home the more expense you may incur. • Consider tying rail design into lighting and otter home features. • Be sure to match railing design to the overall porch floor plan of your home. • Consider the ease of installation, the strength of the design and its functionality before buying

Astronomy

The stars have always been a fascinating subject. Perhaps that's one reason why astronomy is so popular these days. In essence, Astronomy isn't just about studying stars, as most people think. It's actually a study of celestial objects, which includes not only stars but also planets, comets and entire galaxies. In fact, Astronomy also studies different phenomena that come from outside of the earth's atmosphere, such as auroras and cosmic background radiation. In addition, Astronomy, is concerned with a host of other sciences, including physics, evolution, chemistry, how celestial objects move and how the universe was formed and developed. Scientists routinely use Astronomy to test some of the most fundamental theories in physics, such as general relativity. In attempting to explain astronomical phenomena, astronomy joins hands with astrophysics. Overall, Astronomy is among the oldest sciences known to mankind. Records show that there were astronomers dating back to the days of ancient Greece and India. This is probably where advanced observation techniques originated. In addition, the scientific history of man shows how many amateur astronomers have contributed and played an active role in observing and discovering what is referred to as transient phenomena. With the dawn of the 20th century, Astronomy was divided into two sciences. These are observational astronomy and theoretical astrophysics. The first one is concerned with getting data and this involves building and maintaining a host of different instruments as well as processing the results of the data it acquires. There are some who refer to this branch of science as "astrometry" or simply as "astronomy". On the other hand, theoretical astrophysics has to do with ascertaining the implications that can be observed through a computer or through analytical models. There are those who confuse modern astronomy with astrology but they are two very different things. Astrology revolves around a belief system that presupposes that the different positions of celestial objects have a direct bearing on human affairs. In a nutshell, it is fortune telling with the aid of the stars. Astronomy and astrology obviously share the same common origins but most scientists and other knowledgeable observers know that both fields are clearly distinct.

Hole in one

A hole-in-one is one of the rare achievements that professional golfers always long for. When a golfer holes out the ball from the teeing ground with one stroke, he or she earns kudos for having made a hole-in-one. As it’s a once-in-a-lifetime achievement, every golfer remembers when he or she achieved the feat. They also remember if their friends have made it. Golfers are crazy about Holes-in-One. Making the shot is the ultimate trial of their skill and proficiency. Those who achieve the feat become so elated that they throw a party at the clubhouse. It’s the memorable moment of anybody’s golfing career. Although the fellow golfers join the party and celebrate the occasion, they definitely feel jealous about the achievement. It’s a dream for every professional golfer to make a hole-in-one at least once in his or her career. But making a hole-in-one doesn’t take too much time. Golfers just need six seconds to make a hole-in-one. Some golfers come extremely close to hitting the target, but the honor remains illusive for them. The closer they come to hitting the target, the more they become hopeful of their chances. But the magical swing that eventually makes a hole-in-one possible is extremely hard to come by. Even for the most prolific player in the golf circuit, making a hole-in-one is a difficult job. A hole-in-one is a 150-yard shot. Golfers start practicing the shot well before the tournament. However, the standards for granting a hole-in-one are still very unclear. If you want your hole-in-one achievement to be recognized officially, you will have to produce a witness in support of your claim. When big prize money is involved, the authorities will ask for authentic proof substantiating your claim.

Advantages of getting tutors

Tutors are basically teachers who help students or learners to obtain more information and skills on specific subjects. Tutors are professionals who are considered knowledgeable or experts in their specific fields like typing, math, English or other subjects. Generally, students who require one-on-one training on a particular subject require coaching outside school hours. Both adults and students sometimes require extra help in some subjects of areas of knowledge and this is where the tutors come into the picture. Often, there are children who require extra assistance in reading or in speech. Likewise, there are also adults who can benefit from individualized teaching in these and other areas. Students who require tutors on any area of discipline can find tutors from schools or through referrals. However, an easier way to find tutors is through the internet. Tutoring can come in any form, from live tutoring to online tutoring. There are tutors who follow up the learning received by children from their schools. There are also tutors who initiate and really teach students about new things. The traditional way of tutoring is through personal tutoring where the tutors go to the residence of the students. This holds true for traditional one on one personal tutoring. There are tutors who teach a small group of students on a particular subject. There are tutors who teach English to Korean or Japanese students online, through the use of web cameras and good speakers.

Superstar growth strategy

Superstar-Growth Strategy of America’s Fastest Growing Companies! By Chet Holmes Here’s a strategy that has catapulted even the smallest of companies into super-growth mode by learning how to find an army of top producers to grow your business. No matter how small your company is, you can hire a sales force that can catapult company growth like you never imagined (one company that took this advice grew 500% in two years). No matter how large you are, you’re probably using the wrong criterion for hiring salespeople. How to attract star talent to your organization? How to learn their weaknesses before you hire them (most companies have to hire a salesperson to find out all the problems they’re going to have - this will show you how to get rid of the lightweights in just five minutes). What about you? How would you stack up against top producers as a person who has a “natural” ability to build your business? One-person armies who were struggling have learned to re-think their model to hire sales-staff, and suddenly they are sold-out. Multi-billion dollar companies had to understand the unique psychological profile of top producers and why they should hire for psychological profile rather than background. The type of person I’m talking about is someone you can put in a bad situation with poor tools, no training, bad resources and still, within a few months, they begin to outsell your best salespeople or build your company in ways you never dreamed possible. Two things drive the superstar and they are both critical and work together perfectly when you can find them: empathy and self esteem—a strong sense of self). Empathy: Top producers need to bond with others, to find something likable about every person. This is a wonderful trait to find in a salesperson. They just keep going at the client every which way, trying to find more and more ways to serve that client, to please that client. Empathy is a key trait and part of your interview process must be specifically designed to weed out their empathy. Self esteem: Make no mistake; great sales results come from people with super strong self-esteem. Only a person with an extra dose of self-esteem barrels into a client eight times after the client has said no. People with weak self esteem go away after only a single rejection. People with weak self esteem fear rejection and so never actually close a sale. Studies show that 48% of salespeople give up after only one rejection. Only 4% will try more than 4 times. Yet today, it takes 8.4 rejections to get a meeting. And what makes the difference between someone who will face that rejection one time and quit or 40 times and never quit, is purely personal (self esteem). howtodoublesales has training programs that do that. But you can hire someone who, without you ever asking or training, is built that way. These people will have way more heart about getting that sale made. Another aspect of a strong self esteem is personal ambition. Don’t you love it when you hire someone who innovates, expands upon and improves every single task you assign to them? This self esteem and need to please can make these people seem overly eager-to-please in a job interview. Maybe even come on too strong. Don’t let a little bravado put you off; it is the quintessential ingredient in every superstar. In an interview, the person is the product, so they must present themselves with confidence, assure you that they are the one you’re looking for. This aggressive behavior will scare some employers, but it is exactly what you need in a salesperson. Ground Rules for Hiring Superstars First, age and background are not relevant. I’ve hired 24-year-olds who have out-sold 20-year veterans. One of my greatest finds came from a stereo store. Here was an awesome salesperson that might’ve never become the millionaire I helped him become had I not seen the traits he had. Another great find was a salesperson who tried to sell me a sweater in a clothing store. I snatched her right out of there and she ended up running three divisions of a company I ran. I recently found a 70-year-old man who has the best skills I have ever seen for getting top executives on the telephone. And he had been a line producer for feature films. So disregard age or background. Second, you must design your ad to attract this rare animal. My ads begin like this: SUPERSTARS ONLY: Don’t even call unless you are an overachiever and can prove it. The ad does not request a resume. The first thing we do is screen calls on the phone. Here’s a great way to test a top producer: Line up your candidates for a simple ten minute conversation. Tell them: “we talk to candidates for ten minutes to determine if we want to interview them.” When screening calls, I always apologize for being gruff and to the point, explaining that I am overwhelmed with responses; then I say, “Tell me why you think you’re a superstar.” I then deliberately act unimpressed and slightly abrasive. If I intimidate them over the phone, I brush them off quickly. A top producer will not be intimidated. If they can’t talk their way into an interview what makes you think they’ll ever talk their way into a client. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get rid of those with weak self esteem right off the bat. Too often you interview candidates as the nice person you are and it gives them the chance to be nice as well. Then you hire them and find out six months later that they can’t close a sale and shy away from the really big sales out of fear (weak self esteem). With the technique above, you find out early how well they handle rejection. It saves everyone a lot of time and YOU a lot of money. For part 2 of this article please go to howtodoublesales ###

Lingerie buying guide written for men but can be used by women

So, you're thinking about buying lingerie for the woman (or man) in your life. A well chosen gift of lingerie is one of the most romantic things you can do. It is an intimate gift which can make lady feel sexy and loved. Purchase the right gift of lingerie and odds are you'll be invited to unwrap it later on. Choose the wrong lingerie and you will almost certainly live to regret it. This guide will show you how to choose the right gift of lingerie (the kind of gift that keeps on giving). First, if you don't know a bustier from a babydoll check out the lingerie glossary at lingeriediva/lingerie_glossary_s/12.htm. 1. The lingerie is NOT for you Yes, I know you think it's for you. But, if she won't wear it, then it's a gift that neither of you will enjoy. So you need to choose something that she will like. How do you know what she'll like? Just follow steps 2 and 3 below. 2. What's the occasion? Or, not occasion at all! Are you buying her lingerie for a special occasion - birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, anniversary? A silky robe or sexy gown makes a great birthday or Christmas gift. For Valentine's Day or your anniversary try a babydoll, camisole, chemise, or teddy. Maybe you're buying lingerie in order to to spice things up. Try giving her lingerie for no reason at all and see the reaction! Depending on her disposition you might want to try something in leather or vinyl. You can also play dress up with a sexy costume or corset. Before you buy, you also need to think about how and where will the lingerie be worn? Is this an item that will be primarily worn in the bedroom, for your eyes only? Will she wear it under her everyday clothes? She might be willing to wear something that's somewhat uncomfortable for a few minutes in the bedroom, but she won't want to wear it all day long. Don't forget that sexy clothes are a perfect compliment to lingerie. They can be worn to a club or for a night on the town. 3. Lingerie recon mission This is something most men can handle - a reconnaissance mission. Feel free to wear fatigues if it helps. You're going to recon her underwear draw and closet. What are you looking for? On this mission you are searching for three pieces of intelligence - size, style, and color. Part A - Size First, you need to know her sizes. So, start by finding her bras. Look at the label. It probably says something like 34B or 36C. Just so you know, the number part is the size in inches around her chest just below the breasts. The letter portion represents cup size (the size of the breasts - A's are smaller than D's). Next, try to find a slip, nightgown, or some of her current lingerie. Note the size - it's usually small, medium, large, x-tra large, etc. Check a few different items and choose the size that appears most often. Part B - Style Now look through her current lingerie and clothes. What styles does she prefer? If all of her panties are briefs, she might not wear a thong (on the other hand maybe she's just waiting for an excuse). If she's never worn leather or vinyl you might need to introduce these type of items gradually. You can start with just panties or a bra. These are not too extreme and are inexpensive. Part C - Color Finally, note the color of her underwear, bras, and lingerie. Who cares about color you ask? Well, she probably does. Some colors might look better on her. Also, if you're planning to buy her something to wear under her everyday clothes, certain colors (like red or black) might show through a sheer blouse. Having said all that, keep in mind that most women won't buy themselves hot red lingerie - this is your job! 4. How much to spend? Remember, cheap lingerie will make her feel cheap. The good news is that high quality lingerie does not have to be expensive. A basic camisole and panty set usually sells for less than $20. Whatever your budget, you can find something she'll love. 5. Time to choose Okay, you've gathered your intelligence and are ready to make a decision. You can travel to the mall and go to one of the large lingerie retailers. Or, better yet purchase online.

Planning your web hosting reseller plan

The reselling of web hosting services became a profitable business. With an investment of one hundred dollars, you can get up to one thousand, but this involves a lot of work by your side of course. Each important company has a web hosting reseller plan and many times, it includes a dedicated server for your hosting account. Reselling web hosting services means to split up the bandwidth and the disk space to lots of smaller customers, and main objective is to get from your clients at least the money you have spent for your reseller account (on the other hand - why not to get 20-30% more that you pay for your web hosting reseller plan?). You will be able to provide the high quality web hosting services to your customers without being forced to learn everything about server maintenance or work with sophisticated hardware equipment. Before you rent a dedicated server, you should learn how to use a reseller control panel otherwise you may lose lot of precious time. The giant companies that provide web hosting reseller plans include also a software program called Control Panel, which helps you to administrate everything that can be managed on your server. The first things that you should learn are: - creating ad deleting accounts - sharing the disc space and bandwidth between your clients. Reselling web-hosting services is a very competitive business and your success depends on the reliability of your dedicated server. There is, also, the option to buy a Virtual Server account but this means that on the real server, there are hosted more virtual servers, and your services quality depends on your server neighbors. Do your best to rent a strong dedicated server with your web hosting reseller plan, if you want to impress your future customers. You can get much more money from your clients if you split your resources to hundreds of small accounts. However, it is very difficult to keep under observation all the users and if you do not pay enough attention to this detail, all your customers will be disappointed and soon you fill find bad reviews about your services all over the internet. Ask your company about the feature of hosting multiple domain names. Not all your clients will love to host their sites on a sub domain and you may lose the most important customers. Check out the prices for customer support. It is useless to rent a server with a web hosting reseller plan at thousand miles away without having knowledge of server maintenance if you do not have specialized personnel to help you, at low prices of course. And final suggestion: do not host on the same server both important clients and customers with free or cheap account. Many of the cheap account are opened for e-mail spam, search engine spam, adult or illegal content. In this case, all your customers will suffer the consequences.

Why web design is advantageous to business and profit

The way you have your website designed is going to influence your online business and how much of a profit you are able to generate from it. There is so much competition online these days that you have to offer a nice looking website or consumers are going to find another one that will. There are some common elements you want to have in place for your website so that it will be profitable for you. Most consumers are very impatient and they won’t wait long for a web page to open up. If you are using animation or Flash to impress consumers you may find it isn’t working well because they aren’t waiting around long enough for it to open up. You generally have three seconds or less before they will go to another website that does open quickly. Since you will likely have links to various web pages, make sure that they can always access the homepage from any of these pages. It doesn’t matter how good the information is on your website if consumers can’t read it. Take the time to choose a reasonable size of font and discover colors that work well together. I recently visited a website that had good information but I couldn’t concentrate on it because the background was green and the writing was in pink. While you want the website design to be attractive it also has to be easy on the eyes. The navigation for your entire website should be very simple to follow. Consumers aren’t going to spend their time trying to figure out how to get where they want to be. Have a tool bar accessible on the top. You can also incorporate simple codes in areas that say CLICK HERE or other similar wording so they can get where they want to be. It is vital that you make the checkout process as easy as possible for your consumers. It should be step by step to follow and move along quickly. Offer plenty of options for payment including e-check, Paypal, and credit cards. The more payment options you include the more sales you will generate. It is a common courteousy to have your website set up to provide an immediate confirmation number for them once the purchase has been completed. This way they know their order was processed and they can contact you about it with that number should they need to. Feel free to be creative with your website design as long as you are able to incorporate these various elements in it as well. You will definitely have the attention of the consumers in your target market if you offer them something refreshing that they haven’t seen before. At the same time though you have to make sure it is easy to ready and easy to navigate. Not everyone has the same level of expertise when it comes to using the internet so make your site accessible to that category as well.

Catching the geocache

Geocaching is the new craze fuelling the choice of places to visit of many tourists now. Geocaching employs Global positioning system (GPS) technology; small items of low value are hidden by tourists and then it is the turn of another group or tourist to find it. Geocaching is the website that geocachers use to communicate, when one makes a cache s/he records it there for others to find. Whoever finds it leaves something in turn. Items are simple and housed in a waterproof usually plastic container. It could be anything a CD, some trinkets, computer games key chains or books. Getting into geocaching is not difficult; one gets registered on geocaching, buys a GPS system, buys a ticket or willing to drive and gets started. The GPS system which uses satellite signals to place the user at location anyway in the world to a few meters accuracy on a screen as well as how to arrive at other locations using their latitude and altitude measurements. By getting information about hidden caches from geocaching the player can then enter the coordinates for the hidden treasures around the area he is at and determines how to locate; once located he leaves something behind something and makes a record on the website. A GPS system can be bought form any store that deals in open air equipment. GPS systems need not be expensive, but the more sophisticated ones are. Geo-caching needs tact and care need to be taken by cachers. Some cachers have been stopped by police for acting suspiciously in an attempt to hide their cache. They also need to take care not to be noticed by the public as caches have been "muggled', meaning vandalised or stolen by those who do not understand the game. When a geo-cache hunter finds a vandalised or stolen cache they make a record on the cachers' website and the original owner is alerted by email that then can replace, repair or delete the cache. Other interesting ways to p-lay this game do not include a physical cache to be found but the players have to use the coordinates offered of the location and email back details of the place. A virtual cache requires a player to email back a name or date on a plaque or a picture of self at location, earth-cache needs details of the fossils or geology at the place and a webcam cache needs the player to take a picture of self using a public webcam at location. Some geo-cachers travel overseas for cache hunting but some keep it local. It is an interesting activity that can be built into any holiday or adventure. It just makes it more interesting and is motivating.

Using free registry cleaners to improve pc performance

Free registry cleaners can help you to get rid of all those pesky system errors and crashes and also improve overall pc performance. Problems with the windows registry is a common cause for Windows errors, crashes and lack of performance. To resolve these issues you can either format your hard disk and reinstall the operating system and all the programs you installed over time or run registry cleaner software. The registry is a file in which the Windows operating system is storing crucial information about your computer. It stores information about your hardware, software and settings you made to this software and hardware. This data is crucial to keep your pc running smoothly. A common complaint of users is that their pc is getting slower after some time. This is because invalid entries exists in their registry due to software which is no longer used or software which was not properly removed. As you keep on installing and uninstalling programs the register will get bigger and it will take windows longer to load or cause problems because it cannot find certain entries. By using free registry cleaners you can clean your registry of obsolete registry keys and other invalid keys that might be causing these problems. There are many free registry cleaning tools available for download on the internet. You can download one of these programs which matches the version of the Windows operating system you are using. Most registry cleaner software offer the option to backup your registry and to perform a scheduled scan. It is advisable to make this backup so that you can restore the registry in case you encounter any problems after the cleanup. The scheduling feature lets you schedule an automatic scan of your pc at a predefined date or time interval. If you are not using this option I would recommend that you run the software each time when you have uninstalled several programs or at least once a month. Another recommended option that most programs offer is to defragment of compress the registry. This will make the file smaller and thus it will be faster for Windows to read the registry for values it's looking for.

Bad credit mortgage lenders finding an online lender

Today, the internet makes applying for a bad credit mortgage easy and convenient. Before, savvy buyers had to contact several lenders by phone or in person to request quotes. This process was time consuming and exhausting. Through online mortgage lenders, your application is immediately reviewed and approval notifications are provided within hours. Advantages of Bad Credit Mortgage Financing Bad credit is not a life-long curse. Those who are determined to improve their credit rating can do so by applying for new lines of credit, and establishing an excellent payment history. If you are looking to purchase a new home, now's the time to begin fixing your credit. By obtaining a bad credit mortgage, you will ultimately rebuild your credit score. Homes are a huge investment. If a bad credit applicant continually makes regular monthly payments, their credit rating will improve considerably. This will open the door for better rates on a future refinancing and other loans. Finding Low Rate Bad Credit Mortgages If you apply for a loan with a traditional mortgage company or bank, look forward to high interest rates. Because mortgage rates are low, it is possible for bad credit applicants to find a comparable low rate mortgage. However, you must choose the right lender and loan package. Browsing mortgage websites is the best method for locating suitable lenders. On average, reputable lenders will include detail information about rates, services, and offers. Moreover, these lenders may also list information pertaining to prepayment penalties, rewards, and refinancing. Applying for a Bad Credit Mortgage Online Prior to forwarding a formal application, request quotes from lenders. With a quote request, lenders will not review your credit. Instead, you are expected to provide an accurate description of your credit history. Thus, it may be wise to review your free personal credit report beforehand. Request quotes from several lenders – at least four. You may either request information from each individual lender, or work with a mortgage broker. Brokers are useful because they do all the research for you. They gather your information, find the best loan packages, and forward offers from prospective lenders. Afterwards, loan applicants can review all offers and choose the best mortgage loan.

Why should people learn spanish

I remember the first time I visited Mexico. It is a beautiful country. I was young so naturally, I went with my parents. None of us could speak more than a few words of Spanish. We had a vague idea of how the Mexican currency worked, but we were clueless when it came to how much to pay people at restaurants and the shops. Let’s just say it was an interesting experience (and I’m sure we were overcharged a number of times). Oftentimes, it’s when you have to go without it that you realize how important communication really is. For example, it’s not fun listening to a group of people talk about the latest widget or gadget when you know absolutely nothing about it. You sure can’t add anything to the conversation. And just listening in on a topic you know nothing about will take a toll on you since you won’t be able to relate to the group’s conversation. (Think about the last time you had to listen to a group of guys talk about football ladies, or for the men, perhaps a conversation related to make-up). It’s even worse to be surrounded by a group of people who are speaking an entirely different language. Just think about it, you may not even be able to decipher what the topic of conversation is! In addition to the awkward moments, not being able to speak the language of the people around you can be a bit frightening. Imagine if you were lost … or had an emergency. Not being able to communicate would only add to the trauma. Like everyone else, you feel alone and a little vulnerable when you can’t express yourself to others. That’s why if you are planning a vacation to a foreign, Spanish speaking country or have Spanish speaking friends, you may want to at least learn conversational Spanish. Otherwise, you may be left out in the cold, so to speak. How to learn Spanish? The problem is learning a new language can be frustrating and time consuming. In fact, learning a second language can be one of the most difficult learning tasks to master. But it doesn’t have to be. You can learn to speak Spanish in a user-friendly and comfortable environment. For many, learning a new language opens the door to a large amount of other activities; like international travel, career advancement, and meeting new people. Believe it or not, learning a new language is usually one of the top New Year’s resolutions. So you’re not alone. Other people learn Spanish, so can you! Learning a new language is easiest if you can see progress and gain some self confidence. Otherwise, you run the risk of giving up. So if you’re ready to start learning Spanish, there is an easy way and a hard way to do it. Studies have show that it’s best to learn a new language the same way people naturally learn their native tongue. That means you need to hear Spanish being spoken and practice speaking Spanish as often as you can. Just keep with it and you’ll learn conversational Spanish in no time. Remember, language is a powerful force. Learning Spanish will only open new doors for you!

Entelechy speaks to bill george about authentic leadership

I’ve had the pleasure and honor to meet some of the world’s greatest leaders and leadership gurus, from Sir Richard Branson, General Tommy Franks, and Captain Mike Abrashoff to Dr. Warren Bennis, Dr. Henry Mintzberg, and Tom Peters. I recently had the opportunity to meet with Bill George, former chairman and chief executive of Medtronic, Inc., the world’s leading medical technology company, and author of the best-selling book, Authentic Leadership: Rediscovering the Secrets to Creating Lasting Value. Bill George speaks boldly against the “shareholders are king” philosophy that has created many of the problems facing businesses today. With corporate accounting scandals rampant and CEOs being handsomely rewarded even while their companies are rushing headlong to failure, George believes that leaders must reexamine their values and principles and refocus their companies on the things that create true sustainable value: satisfied customers serviced through valued employees. In the pursuit of shareholder – not customer – value, CEOs have been driven to pursue quick riches – almost always at the expense of long-term growth and customer service. Worse, this misguided pursuit of shareholder profits has led some – as evident in Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, and others – to create the illusion of profitability and growth. Where’s the leadership? In many cases, the leadership is as vaporous as the long-term profits. Bill George calls on all of us to demonstrate authentic leadership, to return to the core values of sound business. He argues that taking good care of employees and customers will result in a higher stock price than focusing on shareholder value. And his arguments are persuasive. During his tenure as CEO at Medtronic, revenues grew from $750 million in 1989 to $5 billion in 2001. The company’s market capitalization rose from around $1 billion to more than $60 billion – a 37.5% growth rate compounded annually. Bill George has faced many of the same pressures all leaders face: the CEO cult of personality, the 24/7 workday, the passionate pursuit of earnings, the excesses of ego, and the breach of trust by far too many corporate leaders in the 1990s. In his book, Mr. George draws from his rich experiences – as well as from those of leaders he admires and disdains – to illustrate his five dimensions of authentic leaders: • Understanding why you want to lead • Practicing solid values • Leading with a heart • Establishing connected relationships • Showing self-discipline Terence R.

Dangers of south beach diet

The South Beach Diet is considered to be a healthy diet, which is concerned on the right carbohydrates and the right fats for a healthy body. As such, many people were drawn to it believing that the South Beach Diet is really the best diet for them. However, out of this good reputation that the South Beach Diet maintained, still there are some attacks and bad comments about the diet. Well, we don’t need to be surprised about this, for this is how the world is set. What then is the importance of the principle of “yin and yang” if there is only one side for everything? There could be biases, prejudices, and imbalances, right? So, even though there is really no noted “big” South Beach Diet danger, still there are certain resources which hold that the South Beach Diet danger surface when the improper application of the diet is made. Lack of Information and Understanding Numerous resources have noted that part of the South Beach Diet is the lack of information or understanding about the diet. From the word “lack” alone, a sort of South Beach Diet danger is then viewed. According to many studies, the South Beach Diet danger surfaced for the reason that the South Beach Diet is very demanding for those that are accustomed to carbohydrate-rich diets. Lapsing Into the Old Eating Habits In line with such view for the South Beach Diet danger, it is also noted that one of the largest South Beach Diet dangers surface when there is a lapsing into the old eating habits. This was considered to be a South Beach Diet danger for the reason that this lapsing will result in speedy weight gain. Along with that, this part of the South Beach Diet danger may then be a new way of life. Lack of Willpower In relation to such fact, another support states that a great South Beach Diet danger will also surface when there is a lack of willpower exerted for the diet, especially from the carbohydrates lovers. In fact, it is a common view that there is always the South Beach Diet danger of lapsing back into old eating habits and increasing the carbohydrate consumption without even realizing it. Steps To Overcome These South Beach Diet Dangers So to battle this one of the common South Beach Diet dangers, Dr. Arthur Agatston himself recommends that the dieters who do lapse and end up on placing some of the weight back on should then be immediately switch back to the first phase of the South Beach Diet for a short while. This recommendation is given not only to battle such South Beach Diet danger but also to prevent from the occurrence of several South Beach Diet dangers. It is also interesting to know that if this South Beach Diet danger is not prevented earlier, this will lead to an excess in weight gain. With such mentioned possible South Beach Diet dangers, the South Beach Diet then received mixed reviews from most dieters. Despite the South Beach Diet dangers, many people still consider the South Beach Diet as an updated version of the Atkins diet that is a far more balanced diet. Only one thing that this diet plan does do is really to educate the dieters in eating the correct food to reduce heart disease, high cholesterol levels, and other South Beach Diet dangers.

Supreme court abortion decision

Supreme Court Abortion Decision After much deliberation and discussion, the Supreme Court has returned a critical strike to the core of women's rights in the abortion arena. The court in a 5-4 decision banned a medical procedure known as a partial-birth abortion or Dilation and Extraction. This abortion procedure was performed after the 20th week of pregnancy. While the pro-rights crowd is naturally upset over the ban, they are horrified over the fact that there are no exceptions to the ban that would enable a doctor to save the life of a woman if it was medically necessary to perform the procedure. Doctors can face up to 2 years in prison if they are convicted of performing the procedures, which will greatly limit the numbers of doctors performing the procedures and likely increase the number of states placing bans of the entire abortion procedure as well. The decision came from a split Supreme Court, with two of the justices being hand picked by Bush himself. This is a cause of great concern, suggesting that the Supreme Court has turned into a very conservative place, despite the lack of support for Bush and many of his ideas and practices on a broader level. The Supreme Court's involvement in politics is usually noted, but given the gravity of this decision it is clear where certain allegiances lie. Is the Supreme Court really following the wishes of the majority, do they really have the legal right to determine that a medical decision can or cannot be performed? The anti-abortion camps in the GOP are happy following the decision and are busily looking for more ways to put a damper on the rights of women in regards to abortions. How will this decision be regarded when it comes election time, and the Presidential elections come around? What about the midterm elections next time they are scheduled? Many people are left to wonder if the Supreme Court decision is truly a legal decision, or nothing more than a very carefully selected group of ultra conservative judge's who are following Bush's wishes and desires in regards to the case. The case was sitting before a panel of judge's who seem to thrive off of the acceptance of Bush, and Bush was noted as being encouraged by the ruling and declaring it as a victory for his administration. The court defended its decision by saying that it was doing nothing more than drawing a line between abortion and infanticide. There is a difference between killing a child, or an infant, and an abortion. One of the most notable differences is that a child or infant is not considered an infant until the first breath of air is taken into the lungs. An abortion does not allow the infant to take that first breath of air, therefore, removing the term infant from their being. While it is noble that the Supreme Court is looking and seeking to protect all forms of life, they should also concern themselves with the lives of the mothers who carry babies, who should not be allowed to continue to term for medical reasons. There are numerous women each year who become pregnant who are unable physically to carry a child to term, and must abort the child, or risk their own life. What has the Supreme Court done in order to protect those mothers, or improve their quality of life? Word Count 567

Is a home equity loan right for you

Home equity loans are an extremely popular source of credit. Lenders offer dozens of varieties of loans making it very easy to tap the equity in your home. If you browse the marketplace online, you will find most of these loans come with variable interest rates. Some loans are marketed with very low introductory interest rate. There are not many home equity lines that come with fixed interest rates. Many lenders charge upfront fees and large amounts at closing. Some equity loans charge annual fees and may have a large balloon payment due at the end of the loan. Equity loans that do not carry balloon payments typically come with much higher monthly payments. As a homeowner you need to shop around for the best home equity loan that is right for you. The challenge is finding a lender that will match your needs for the best interest rate, fees, and terms. Fortunately, the marketplace is extremely competitive, and a shrewd shopper can find excellent deals. To do this you need to contact as many lenders as possiblepare offers not just based on interest rates, but compare the fees and terms as well. Make sure you read and understand all the fine print contained in your loan contract. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or haggle over terms and stipulations. Mortgage lenders need your business more than you need theirs. Demand more from your mortgage lender and you’ll be amazed how far it will get you. Before shopping for a home equity loan there are several questions you need to have answers for. First, is a home equity line of credit right for you? If you are in a situation where you have to borrow money in a hurry, home equity lines are a great source of credit. Home equity lines of credit offer easy access to your home equity and even tax advantages you won’t find with other loans. The downside of tapping the equity in your home is that you are using you home as collateral on the loan. If the equity loan you choose comes with a large balloon payment at the end of the loan, you could place your home at risk if you are unable to make the balloon payment. If you move and need to sell the home most equity loans require full payment at the time of sale. Many home equity lines allow you to write checks against your equity; this ease of access to your money could lead to spending when you don’t need to. If you are not careful you could piddle away the equity in your home with frivolous spending. There are options available to you other than home equity loans. If you take out a second mortgage on your home you are paid in a lump sum. Second mortgages usually come with fixed interest rates making them less risky than home equity loans. Second, consider how much you really need versus how much you can borrow. Your home equity lender will evaluate your credit history along with your income and debt ratio. Depending on the outcome of this you may be allowed to borrow as much as 85 percent of the value of your home. Make sure you fully understand the loan terms and how the loan works. Interest rates from home equity lines vary widely between lenders. You can save a lot of money by doing your homework and shopping from a wide variety of equity lenders. Make sure you are comparing the annual interest rate for the loans. The interest rates lenders advertise are based on interest paid. To make an accurate comparison compare all fees, including closing costs, points paid up front, and any annual fees you must pay. This will allow you to make an informed decision on a home equity line of credit or a second mortgage loan. Remember loans with variable interest rates typically come with a low introductory period. When this period is over your interest rate and payment amount could increase dramatically. Taking out a second mortgage with a fixed interest rate could shield you from surprises in your monthly payment amount. If you decide on an adjustable rate loan, make sure you understand the periodic cap. This cap limits the amount your interest rate can change at once. Look for loans that come with lifetime caps as this will limit the amount your interest rate can change over the life of the loan. Ask your lender which index your interest rate is tied to. Indexes such as the prime interest rate are used to set your adjustable interest rate amount. Your lender will charge a margin on top of this index when setting your monthly payment amount. Finally, ask your lender if you have the option of converting to a fixed interest rate at a later time. If you do your homework up front and shop around, you can certainly find an excellent home equity or second mortgage for your financial needs.
