THERE'S ALWAYS A BRIGHT SIDE........

I wrote this poem to remind myself that we all have to keep moving on, be positive, don't be discouraged and believe that all things change. There is balance to all, the good, the bad, the yin, the yang, it's all a cycle we need to ride out. There is always a BRIGHT SIDE.

Amid all the challenging economic times, recession, rising prices at the grocery stores, health insurance, expensive auto insurance, property taxes, housing foreclosures, a slow job market, rising costs of living, the NJ deficit, Gov. Corizine’s proposed toll hikes, constant pressures to make ends meet, etc. There is always a BRIGHT SIDE.

This is a GREAT TIME to really learn to appreciate what you currently have. Learn better spending habits, try to stick to want you need to buy,not more than the toys that you have to have and stick to the basics.

Investing is better for some since many stock prices have gone down that were up high before, and it's great time to PURCHASE REAL ESTATE!

Real Estate is solid investment. A first time buyer or someone that is looking to BUY UP is in a GREAT POSITION if the have built up equity, good credit, first time buyers have a great chance to purchase a nice home for their money, many can get a great DEAL. Contact me for the best deals around in Real Estate. Enjoy the Poem..........

My Money Poem

I want to make money to get out of debt

I’m grateful for all my hard lessons and the time that I spent

I want to learn more about life so I bloom

And leave behind memories of darkness and gloom

In spite of my debt and my bills piling high

I am blessed beyond words with the days that go by

I’m never alone and always feel loved

He’s there for me always

“The Good Lord Above”

NJ Taxes

Hello out there. I know I'm not the only one concerned about the rising taxes in our Garden State. Since the real estate community has been experiencing blows left and right in the last several years. It's only fair that I bring this new potential tax plan to your attention.

The New Jersey Home Sales Tax

The Realty Transfer fee is a state imposed fee that began in 1968 as a nominal charge for tracking real estate transactions. It has increased dramatically in the last several years, especially due to the phenomenal real estate buying explosion we've had from 2003 - 2005.

The NJ Homes Sales Tax aka Realty Transfer fee has increased on an average home in our lovely garden state about 80%.

THE NJ STATE LEGISLATURE IS CONSIDERING FURTHER INCREASES BY PERMITTING MUNICIPALITIES TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN FEES IN ADDITION TO THE ALREADY IMPOSED STATE FEES.

THIS IS WRONG!
Please log on to http://njhometax.com for further information and learn what to do to help stop the Home Sales tax increase.
