Sorry for the wait, things have been crazy this week, we've been having some technical problems, and we're trying to fix them today.<br />

This video is pretty much a visualization of our last blog post, where we compared mortgages.

In our example we will look at two common mortgage loans and compare which is the better deal! You have to choose between a 30 year mortgage and a 15 year.<br />
<br />
The <u>30-year mortgage</u> has a fixed rate with a monthly payment of <b>$1,074</b>.<br />
The <u>15-year mortgage</u> has a fixed rate with a monthly payment of <b>$1,505</b>. <br />
<br />
For the <u>30-year mortgage</u>, the total cost of interest is <b>$186,343.</b><br />
For <u>15-year mortgage</u>, the total cost of interest is <b>$70,789.</b><br />
<br />
<i>Therefore, you would save <b>$115,554</b> in interest cost by taking the <u>15-year mortgage</u>!</i><br />
<br />

<br />
I've seen people that don't necessarily vlog, but they post youtube videos of game trailers, song clips, etc.. on their blog. They would get more views if they posted it on their own channel with their intro in the front and their url in the description, its a great way to generate traffic!<br />

Today, a real estate agent makes around a 6% commission, so selling a house for a few thousand dollars might not be worth the trouble for them, but of course you want as much money as you can get for your property. Open houses have been proven to be just a way for real estate agents to build more client relationships.<br />
<br />
Over 50% of house hunters look on the Web, according to the National Association of Realtors, so its only obvious to go after this market.<br />
www.ForSaleByOwner.com’s fees start at $89 per month for a listing on its own Web site with additional fees for third party listings. <br />
www.mls.com listings cost $899.<br />
<div class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>ByOwner.com, meanwhile, charges an average $399 for its listing service.</div><div class="textBodyBlack"><br />
</div><div class="textBodyBlack"> Be sure to check out what else comes with the listings. Some web listing will provide you with yard signs, printable flyers and instructional material to help you prepare, price and negotiate the sale of your home. </div>Finding Cheap Homeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06992258750501765884noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859759279222905638.post-63929493128003626062011-05-24T05:10:00.000-07:002011-06-10T07:35:08.253-07:00Free Foreclosure List<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzkYwMOmp09htnCZztvLAUQYjYSIAr1rHrgm-uCOLHMCG-TATkEXaxW1jDrZbfPumyHcBqewQMxvPNDyHS7RS3DcbFbivUEeAbBeCMnJo_45ftanzUcPE420eQjVncBVzW222tPQqkqlPy/s1600/foreclosure_cheap_homes_free_real_estate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzkYwMOmp09htnCZztvLAUQYjYSIAr1rHrgm-uCOLHMCG-TATkEXaxW1jDrZbfPumyHcBqewQMxvPNDyHS7RS3DcbFbivUEeAbBeCMnJo_45ftanzUcPE420eQjVncBVzW222tPQqkqlPy/s320/foreclosure_cheap_homes_free_real_estate.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center" class="style21"><br />

My name is Max, and last year I moved into a foreclosed house with 4 other roommates.<br />
The mortgage is less expansive than if we had rented an apartment.<br />
I've noticed that some of my high school friends are still having trouble moving out, so I made this blog for people like them. Me and 4 other people are able to pay for a house while attending college, so anyone should be able to find cheap homes.<br />
<br />
More blogs to come, be sure to follow!<br />
