Solar Panels a Necessity

More and more homes are popping up with solar panels on their roofs. It seems to be the new fad, but it is not exactly. Some people are only getting wise to use the sun for more than light, warmth, vitamin D, and a great tan. The sun supplies free energy that solar panels can catch and redistribute it into electricity to power up their home.

Today’s home demands electronics, electrical equipment, appliances, and power for electric cars. Those demands cause higher demand on the power grid of your region. In the United States, the government, both federally and locally, is trying to influence all homeowners to get solar panels installed on their homes by giving a tax credit to those who use solar panels' alternative energy. The power companies do not see solar panels as the competition, but as assistance in that, they will, in turn, buy your excess energy produced by your solar panels.

It is a no-brainer to get solar panels when your home is all-electric, and you have an electric car such as the Tesla. It is equally advantageous if your house is hybrid in that it uses electricity and natural gas or propane for energy. There may be times when you do not use much electrical energy, such as when you are away on vacation, etc. The solar panel will still generate electricity that would automatically be given to your electric power company in that they would give you credit for your surplus electricity instead of a bill.

In the United States, some companies provide solar panels with lease options, but it makes more sense to buy your solar panels system rather than to lease. With a lease, you will gain a certain percentage of savings. However, they will want you to pay for a maintenance agreement during the contract when solar panels require little or no upkeep. At the end of the lease, you will have to give it back, and the leasing company would get the tax credit incentive instead of you. Also, the rental can be problematic at the time to sell your home.

The potential owner would need to qualify for the remainder of the rental and take over the payments. The prospective owner may want the tax credit by purchasing their solar panels. Your sales contract may get countered with the condition that you remove the rented solar panels before closing. Owned solar panels are more acceptable to a home buyer as part of your real estate enhanced value package.

Many Do Not Believe in the Covid-19 Vaccine

Despite the U.S. government stating that there is a vaccine to minimize the chances of death due to Covid-19, most people are in denial. Many people think it is a trick to get some small technology into your body to control you and monitor you. They go as far as connecting their theory of an evil plot to implement 5 G technology. Some people have put out what they claim is proof that Bill Gates is involved, and he and others want to control the population of the world and so on and on. You wonder why there is so much mistrust? But it is not unwarranted. It is part of American history that the colonist gave free blankets and linen contaminated with smallpox to cause disfiguring scars, blindness, and death to the American Indians. Then there was Tuskegee experiment began in 1932, where they freely injected over 600 African Americans with syphilis, a contagious venereal disease with no known cure at the time. Some Republicans believe the Democrats want to use the COVID 19 scare to ...

Prevent Foreclosure from the Start

Everyone feels a sense of pride after they have made their purchase of a home. For a while, you may not have the desire to go out much because you want to bask in your moment of achievement. Since you close on your home, you will find that more credit companies want to extend credit to you. Homes usually go up in value, so credit companies feel that you are collateral-worthy. It is easy to get overextended if you are not budget-conscious. When you applied for a mortgage, most loan officers will advise you not to buy anything with a credit card and do not ask for new credit while a mortgage decision is pending with a lender. The mortgage company uses all current minimum payments of your debts versus your income to determine a mortgage on your behalf. If you got new credits, it would throw off their figures and change your debt profile. The lender uses the debt profile versus your income to determine the likelihood of the lender getting paid back for the loan. When your de...

House Inspection a Necessary Evil

You have been looking around for months to find the home of your dream, and now you think you have found one. You are currently fascinated with your newfound love, but you should step back and analyze your findings. Some people may have worked two jobs to afford the down payment on a home and have limited liquid cash beyond that to provide anything breaking down in the first three years after closing. Thus, you need to get a home inspection known as the necessary evil of the industry. The results can determine the evil part. A home inspection can reveal a lot more than the owner of the home want to realize. If the owner does not want to make concessions for the negative home inspection report, it can be disappointing to the buyer after paying for a home inspection report. Many home buyers will feel upset that they paid the inspection fee and they cannot get the home because it reveals issues that the buyer would have to come out of their pocket to fix soon after closing. Going alon...
