The Booming Housing Market

Despite uncertainty created by the current health climate over the last few months, economists have noted a distinct pattern in the housing market: instead of slowing down, it is actually booming. According to Bank of America, mortgage purchase applications have risen drastically and are currently clocking in above pre-lockdown levels. Keep reading for the five explanations for this surge in market activity. 

1. The Disproportionate Recession: State lockdowns and stay-at-home orders affected lower income populations more dramatically than higher income brackets- and research shows that lower income groups are less likely to be homeowners. 
2. Interest Rates Are at an All-Time Low: Last week, interest rates plunged to a new historic low. Compared to…

TOP TIPS FOR TRAVELLING WITH PETS

EXPERTS TELL ALL: TOP TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH PETS

• FOR TRAVELERS
• TRAVEL TIPS

Pets are an important part of our family and when it comes time to travel, it's hard to imagine leaving home without them.

MAKE THIS YOUR BEST YEAR EVER -- 10 NEW YEARS EVOLUTIONS

The New Year is upon us, presenting itself as a fresh chapter in the book called "Our Life." Every year many of us try to figure out how to make the coming year the best one yet while reflecting on all of the things we didn't accomplish in the last year. Although we shouldn't define our lives by each year that passes, we can create a plan to have a killer year to come. But, instead of adding the pressure by making New Year's Resolutions, make this coming year about evolutions. Resolutions are often broken because they are intangible to sustain for an entire year (i.e., I will never eat sugar again). A list of evolutions is a positive reminder, meant to keep you on track rather than punish you for any decisions you have made in the past. To help you…

DOES ALLOWING PETS IN YOUR RENTALS MAKE SENSE?

Written by Dave Van Horn from biggerpockets.com

To be quite honest, in my close to 30 years in property management, I've never had a problem with pets. My problems have always been with the pet's owners.

For example, it is usually not the pet who fails to change the litter box and it isn't the pet's idea to have 8 dogs in one apartment. Yes, that has actually happened to me. I had bought a duplex once, with two one-bedroom units, where I inherited a tenant with one dog who suddenly had a record-setting eight pups. The funny thing was that my tenant decided she wanted to try and keep them all. People are crazy. Obviously, the idea of turning a one-bedroom apartment into a kennel didn't work out very well.

10 TIPS YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR SUCCESSFUL RUNNING WHILE ON VACATION

Written by Amanda Loudin

Off on a family vacation this summer?

You can still train.

Yep, not only is it possible, but it can be the kick we need to rekindle our passion for running again.

Some of my best runs and races have occurred on vacation. I’ve run a 35k trail race in Australia, a half marathon in Palm Springs, a 10k in the Adirondacks, and many others along the way. I’ve run along the beach, in the mountains, and on beautiful river paths throughout Europe.

There's no better way to take in the sights, in my opinion.

At the same time, I am very cognizant of the fact that time alone and away with my family is special and I don't want to infringe upon that.

After all, my husband and kids don't want to spend their vacation time waiting for me to finish a…
