When summer rolls around, there’s nothing better than inviting a few people over for an impromptu summer party. People can sit back and relax, cook burgers, enjoy a cold beer, watch the kids splash and play in the pool. What could be better? Not much it seems!

Summer parties are what summer is all about and you don’t need a backyard pool to have a fun time for everyone. If you have a pool, the party can happen around it, and once night falls, you can put little floating lights in the water to create some ambience. If you don’t have a pool, don’t worry, you can rent an inflatable water slide for loads of fun. They inflate in minutes, just connect the hose and go.

Don’t you like the water theme so much? Okay, there are many other ideas, like a Luau. Each guest gets to wear a lei and you can make fun drinks out of little umbrellas. Simply filling kiddie pools with sand lets you pretend you’re at the beach, and twinkling Christmas lights on the deck, patio, or umbrellas add a pretty touch.

As for the food, if you don’t want to cook, you can rent a hot dog machine and/or a nacho machine for guests to serve themselves and have fun with them. There are also roving ice cream carts that everyone will love, popcorn machines, and machines for guests to make their own cotton candy, all of which can be easily rented, easily set up, and make your job as a host that much easier.

If you were looking to go all out and make the next gathering more of a large-scale party, how about renting a mobile petting zoo or pony for rides? These just kick it up a notch and add to the fun. Clowns, magicians, and superheroes/princesses are also a great addition to a party if a lot of children will be attending.

Whether you’re planning a laid-back, show up when you want party or a full invite, themed party, nothing says summer like hanging out with friends. Very soon the cold weather will be upon us once again, but we will have memories of summer for the whole year.

It is Whitby’s history that makes it such an interesting place, and it may surprise some that Whitby once had a number of windmills. When you consider Whitby’s location along the windy North Sea coast, it’s an obvious place to take advantage of the natural resource of wind.

The oldest documented record of windmills in England is found within a survey by the Knights Templar dated 1185. The oldest surviving windmills today date from the 17th century, mainly due to the fact that the windmills were designed to be removable and were often damaged by the wind. Most traditional windmills have 5 blades, some 6, and some have more. There are 2 main types of windmills, the Post Mill and the Tower Mill. The Post Mill rotates on a central post and allows the entire mill to rotate on site (to face the wind). The Tower mill has only the top rotating section, a turret, the rest of the building is stationary.

There have been a few windmills in Whitby, although none survive today. The oldest record in Whitby is that relating to the Abbey dating from 1316. The name given to this land was windmill flatt. Records also show two windmills around 1666 and 1674. Around 1778 a windmill (or two) was located at Stakesby. The windmill at Stakesby has had a few different owners and therefore a few different names, Andersons Mill, Arundel Mill and Fletchers Mill. This same mill is mentioned in the Whitby Gazette on 27 March 1869 and is offered for rent. There was also a windmill at Newholme, west of Whitby.

Stainsacre Mill near Whitby was a wind maize mill: a 5-storey, stone-built tower mill with four sails and a dovetail. It was situated on the hill to the south of the inn. [“Windmill Inn”]. It was built in 1816 by William Henderson, who became the first miller there. Whitby trade directories in 1834 and 1858 incorrectly listed William Henderson as a miller at Hawksker. William Henderson sold the mill to William Appleton, who also ran the Newholme Mill. William died at Stainsacre in 1869. The mill was demolished in c1920.

Bagdale Mill, also known throughout its existence as Burnett’s Mill, Noble’s Mill and Wren’s Mill, was demolished in 1862.

The best documented mill is the Union Mill. Union Mill was on upgang road, a site now occupied by the controversial apartment development of the same name (Union Mill Apartments), the site was previously occupied by Harrisons Showroom Garage. The idea to build a mill arose in March 1800 when a group of concerned local businessmen held a meeting at The White Horse and Griffin Inn. By the end of the 18th century, the yields of cereal crops varied considerably. In the last decade there were a series of bad harvests and since bread was a staple food, the poor were the first to suffer. The group formed the Union Mill Society, which was later incorporated into the Whitby Union Mill Industrial and Provident Society Ltd. The documents and minutes of the meetings are currently held by the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society. The mill provided grain at reduced prices to the local poor and at cost to union members/stockholders. Each member had their own ticket that was punched on each batch of grain received. Union Mill’s foundation stone was laid by T. Fishburn and T. Broderick in June 1800. The mill suffered storm damage in October 1880 and again in July 1888, being demolished or knocked down to the ground floor level in 1923. There are a number of photographs taken by Frank Sutcliffe of Union Mill showing its location on the west cliff. When the mill was built, there were very few buildings on the west bluff, and the mill was a prominent landmark in its day, long before B&Bs were built. The union society lasted until July 11, 1888, when it was dissolved and the mill finally ceased operation. For the last ten years of his life, the old mill was used by the TA for stables and an armory.

My wife and I leaped into a more rewarding future in 2002 when we bought my first home to fix up, repair, and rent.

What motivated us to start repair houses was the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Funds for environmental projects, like the ones I worked on, were being redirected to military activities, and the future of my job seemed shaky.

Respond to a newspaper ad

Before that, I had been reading up on real estate investing, and when my wife and I saw an ad in the newspaper about a property under repair in a relatively nice neighborhood, we made an offer and ended up buying it. We didn’t have much knowledge of what we had done, but we had a lot of enthusiasm. We learned as we went.

Jacks-of-One-Trade

In the home repair area we became jack of all trades, learning how to repair just about anything that was in a repair house. But, in our top niche business of arranging, we were experts in only one trade. We stay focused on what we do best: buy, repair and rent. And, if you do something often enough, you get pretty good at it.

We worked like dogs, slept like logs, and ate like pigs! But, now we’ve cut the grind and are making a lot of money with less effort in our top fix business.

Investing in repairs is a great way to start a business in your spare time. It can allow you to gradually increase financial security and eventually shift to a career where you control your destiny.

Is now a bad time to invest?

When I bought my first house, many thought I was crazy. After 9/11 there was great uncertainty about what would happen next. Would the country go to war? Would I lose my job? Would the economy go down the toilet?

Today, because of the possibility of a recession, people are making the same arguments. But remember, you don’t make money buying houses when the economy is strong. The prices are too high then. You make money when the economy is weak and home prices are low and marketable.

You may be wondering what the benefits of leasing a bank instrument are or considering other options besides risking your own collateral to secure a line of credit.

The benefits of leasing an SBLC:

• It is very good for trade finance.

• It is good to give the Seller peace of mind in case the Buyer does not pay for the goods received.

• It is a good way for a Buyer to purchase goods to sell to a Buyer who is waiting in the wings and use the proceeds from the sale to pay for the goods purchased from the Seller.

How does leasing an SBLC work?

Let’s say you are a factory that converts soybeans into soymilk. You have an order from the local supermarket worth $150 million, you want to buy $100 million worth of soybeans from a supplier, you have $250 million in your bank account.

You may be concerned that with other outgoing costs, this request could leave you with very little money for other expenses. Instead of taking the entire $100 million out of your bank account to put up as collateral for a loan to buy the soybeans, you can choose another (safer) option.

You can obtain a bank instrument to show your Supplier that you have the financial means ready to buy the soybeans from him. This bank instrument will come from a third-party provider that will allow you to lease your collateral at, say, 10% of cost, so now you’re only spending $10 million instead of risking $100 million. Leasing a bank instrument means that you are a temporary lessee for one year and one day.

Invoices are typically issued on a 45, 60, or 90 day billing cycle. So, in theory, you could buy the Supplier’s soybeans by taking out a bank instrument. This would then be assigned to the provider as a backup in case you don’t pay the bill; this is very common in commercial financing.

In trade finance, the Provider will want collateral through a bank instrument to show that in the event an invoice is not settled, they can claim the instrument and cash it to collect their payment. If this is done at the right time, the Buyer of the soybeans can receive the products, convert it into soymilk for sale to the supermarket, who in turn pays the $150 million that has been pre-agreed and the Supplier, in turn, can settle the $100 million (the cost of the Supplier’s soybeans) within the stipulated timeframes, risking only very little of their own money.

Example of an SBLC lease:

Supplier sells soybeans for 100 million dollars

The buyer leases a bank instrument at 10% of the nominal value of the instrument. Therefore, the cost of leasing in this case is $100M x 10% = $10M

The buyer presents the instrument as a ‘promise to pay’ in case the buyer defaults on the $100 million invoice and the supplier proceeds to supply the soybeans.

Buyer takes shipment of goods and processes soybeans into soymilk

The buyer then immediately sells the soymilk to the supermarket for $150 million.

Supermarket settles $150M bill immediately

The buyer then takes the $150 million and settles the $100 million immediately and earns a profit of $40 million ($150 million minus $100 million minus $10 million for the cost of leasing the instrument) without having to provide the $100 million up front. The entire transaction essentially cost them $10 million and they managed to make $40 million in the process.

Buy a SBLC

If you’re looking to buy an SBLC, there are a few pros and cons to keep in mind. The main advantage of buying a StandBy letter of credit is that you become the official owner of the instrument and, in turn, you can lease the bank instrument to a third party. It is necessary to keep in mind that the price of the bank instrument will not be cheap, since the purchase cost would start at around 30% more than face value. So if you want to buy a StandBy Letter of Credit for $100 million, the purchase price would start around $30 million, so you’ll need to weigh the benefits of buying a bank lease v.

When it comes to selling your car, you want to achieve the highest possible price. Follow these tips to put more money in your pocket:

1. Clean the car. It’s amazing how many people try to sell a dirty car. A clean car gives potential buyers the impression that the car has been well cared for.

2. Do not try to sell without a valid MOT certificate. To achieve a higher price, it is worth carrying out a complete service, as well as the ITV. You won’t be charged with selling an unroadworthy vehicle later.

3. If your car has suffered some minor damage, it will be worth repairing. You can buy kits to remove surface scratches, and repairing minor teeth is often inexpensive.

4. Before pricing your car, try valuing it on one of the websites that offer free valuations. You’ll have a better idea of ​​what it’s worth, and you’ll be able to produce printed “valuation proofs” if you’re selling privately.

5. If you’re selling your car to buy a new one, consider a trade-in, as it’s much easier to fix and causes far fewer complaints than a private sale. But remember that you will get less money when negotiating a trade.

6. If you are selling your car privately, take some pictures. Try to do this on a sunny day as the amount of light in the image can affect the attractiveness of the car.

7. You must decide where to include the sale. If it’s really cheap then you could try it in the window of your local store or in a free newspaper. But if you want more money, consider listing it in AutoTrader or similar auto magazines.

8. Write your ad carefully. Yes, you want to attract buyers, but don’t lie or print misleading information. Just highlight the necessary information. You want to attract interested buyers, but you don’t want to receive thousands of calls asking for clarification on items that should have been listed. So at least it includes:

A. Make, model and year of registration
b. Valid MOT and FSH (full service history)
against Age, mileage and color
d. Price that should end in 5, 7 or 9, but never 0, eg £9995 instead of £10,000 (never put the amount you’d be happy with, but inflate a bit so you can negotiate with a buyer)
my. Engine size, fuel type, and perhaps condition (watch out for this one)
F. Do not say in the ad that you will consider all offers, as this makes you seem desperate to sell.

Be careful when allowing people to test drive your car. If your insurance policy is for drivers only, they will not be insured, so unless they provide proof of full coverage, do not leave them behind the wheel as you will be committing a crime. Accept payment only as a bank draft and always check with the issuing bank that the draft is genuine.

Once you have successfully sold your car, you should provide the buyer with a written receipt showing the time and date of the transaction, and remember to keep a copy for yourself. The DVLA must be informed of the sale, but you want proof that you were not driving the car if a crime is committed before ownership is transferred. These tips for selling your car will make the process much easier for all parties involved.

You’ve probably smiled many times at pinwheels as you walked past them in someone’s yard, not knowing you were admiring a 10,000-year-old folk art form.

Attach weather vanes to windmills and you’ll get pinwheels, an ancient device whose sole purpose is to delight onlookers.

Although once very popular, pinwheels have declined in popularity, except among the young at heart. Some local fans keep the historic devices alive.

Each civilization depends on the climate for agriculture or navigation invented the simple pointer that indicates the direction of the wind. Representations are found in Samaria, Egypt and China. We still trust them.

Windmills, inclined blades attached to a hub, turn wheels that grind grain, pump water, or generate electricity, are almost as old as weather vanes. The genius who merged weather vanes and windmills is forgotten, but not his legacy.

Medieval European tapestries show children playing with small workhorse pinwheels at one end of a stick and 4-bladed propellers at the other end.

This was a time of chivalry and knights on horseback wielding spears and swords to rescue maidens in distress. The 1440 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary defined “whyrlegyge” as “any spinning toy”.

In the late 1700s in colonial America, waving human figures (holding swords, shovels, pitchforks, and other implements) were popular.

When George Washington rode back to Mt. Vernon after the Revolutionary War, he brought his “whilagigs” saddlebags for Martha’s grandchildren.

Washington Irving in his 1820 “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” wrote of “a little wooden warrior who, armed with a sword in each hand, fought bravely against the wind on the pinnacle of the barn.”

In the late 19th century, popular pinwheels portrayed Indians paddling canoes, birds flapping their wings, men sawing wood, and women washing clothes in a tub.

The first settlers on the south bank of the Peace River inlet in Charlotte Harbor were Fred and Anna Howard in 1875. They were joined the following year by Fred’s brother Jarvis and his family.

Jarvis kept a diary and recounted their first Christmas together in 1876. Among the gifts they exchanged was a “pinwheel” from Fred and Anna to the Jarvis family. The size and design of the contraption were not indicated.

Whirligigs experienced a renaissance during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Working men could make pinwheels out of scrap wood and sell them in their front yards for a dollar. This would feed a family of four for one day. (I know.)

Interestingly, the pinwheels sold well. They were relatively cheap and lifted your spirits when times were bleak.

A favorite toy during the depression was the pinwheel, a basic pinwheel. Dime stores sold them for ten cents, of course. They were built with a square of colored celluloid, the first plastic, whose ends were split, bent, and stuck into a stick. You created the wind to spin the pinwheel by running or holding it out of a car window.

A handsome three-tier windlass windlass, with counter-rotating multi-colored vanes, graces a patio across the street from the Punta Gorda Isles Yacht Club.

Southwest Florida’s most spectacular pinwheel stands about ten feet tall in Punta Gorda. It spins merrily at the western end of Olympia Avenue, near the Visual Arts Center and Fishermen’s Village.

Its vertical and horizontal sheets of crimson and polished stainless steel were created, and are maintained, by Stephen Schwarz, a fellow at the Center for the Visual Arts. He has several other works of art in his house.

Traditional pinwheels are made by hobbyists like Gerry Philbrick of the Punta Gorda Isles. He prefers traditional designs like flying cardinals and little men briskly sawing wood in the breeze.

Many history and art museums have collections of whirligigs. Private artisans create revolving “gardens” for amusement and profit. Roadside craft vendors offer a wide variety of pinwheels for sale.

The best salesman in these parts is Chris “Kringle” Williams, the “toymaker” in Fort Ogden on SR 17 between Punta Gorda and Arcadia. His “Santa’s workshop” is set back from the road but easily visible. He and his wife Dolores preside over a salesroom of thousands of handmade novelties in a historic general store building.

The artisans, or artisans, will find a book by Anders Lunde interesting and instructive. “Whirligigs Design & Construction” (Chilton Book Company, Radnor, Pennsylvania) can be ordered at any bookstore.

Lunde is credited with reviving the pinwheel a quarter of a century ago. A well-known painter and wood sculptor, Lunde won first prize in a sculpture at the 1981 Durham, NC Art Guild Juried Show. He received two awards for his pinwheels at the 1983 North Carolina Craft Juried Show.

His book contains easy-to-follow instructions and patterns for building pinwheels, from pinwheels to elaborate groups of various animated figures.

CAUTION: Exposure to windlass could penetrate you.

Who are you going to believe about how the flat rate MLS industry works?

There are four “business models” that offer flat fee MLS listings in Florida:

1) national website: They are not licensed in Florida, but they collect money and then refer it to a Florida discount real estate broker, who receives a portion of the fees charged. National websites are competent business firms that generally hold a real estate broker’s license in one state but not all states.

2) Florida Part Time Hobbyist Flat Fee Website: There must be about 70 of these “websites” in Florida. They are either licensed real estate brokers who do flat fee listings part time or are testing the waters to see if they can make a few bucks on a flat fee.

3) Florida broker posing as a flat fee: They seem like a flat fee, but their business model is not consumer friendly and I see their business practices as questionable. They can or do take their leads from Realtor.com and other sources for their own agents; or possibly charge a cancellation fee of up to $500; or hold your listing hostage until you pay ($500) by only “conditionally” removing your listing from the MLS if you try to cancel and move to a full service agent; your listing will be stuck in this “conditional” status until you pay the $500 ransom.

4) Florida licensed flat fee MLS broker who is established, trustworthy, transparent and paperless, specializes in internet marketing and offers real customer support.
(Note: There is more than one MLS fixed fee trust firm in Florida, but there are also many firms that fall into categories #2 and #3 above.)

Flat rate MLS requires more than just entering a listing on a local MLS…

1) Florida Flat Fee MLS Sellers are 100% control driven. They want their MLS listing to be correct at all times.

2) Third party websites like Realtor.com, local MLS systems, and IDX feeds for local real estate brokerage firms need to be constantly monitored because listings fall outside of these systems. Technical glitches happen frequently.

3) Sellers make adjustments to their listing, such as images, price, commission, and descriptions of their properties. Forms such as mold, lead-based paint, and property disclosures are needed.

4) Florida Flat fee MLS broker has the responsibility of capturing leads, displaying agent requests, internet marketing, problem solving, customer service, negotiating, editing and peace making. Flat fee MLS brokers must be prepared to put in their time and energy.

Flat fee MLS brokers should be prepared to spend their time and energy…

1) Taking $200 bucks and launching a listing on the MLS as an afterthought is not what the flat fee should be about. There are more moving parts that go into a “real” flat rate MLS company than one might imagine. Case in point: Last week, Orlando Regional MLS took over the Venice Board of Realtors. When they did this conversion, it removed 53 “displayed” properties from Realtor.com from the Mid-Florida Regional (Orlando area). It happened on a Thursday night and required the resources of the Mid-Florida Regional Vice President and Director of Operations and many phone calls to fix the main technical problem.

2) Amateur or part-time MLS “website” operators may not have the resources or experience to deal with these issues.

3) The flat fee MLS broker must be prepared to support the client and market effectively on the Internet.

4) If the MLS discount broker asks you to print forms, fill them out and fax them, this means they haven’t thought about or invested in online automation. This means that changes to the list, editing, status changes will be faxed to this, to that fax… back to the caveman days.

What to consider before publishing a flat rate

1) If the flat rate MLS “website” doesn’t show the “listing agreement” that should be a warning.

2) Please read the listing agreement carefully “from start to finish” before giving money to any flat rate company, whether it is a national service or based in Florida.

3) Understand the process and policy for how potential buyers from Realtor.com and other sources reach you, the seller, if at all.

4) Keep in mind that many calls go to the flat rate broker. Up to 70 calls a day can come in at a flat rate MLS broker. Miss one, that could be your sale.

5) Consider and check what the hours are for the flat rate MLS service.

6) Flat fee websites that offer only one marketing option are really just a “website”. There are many marketing approaches besides just a basic MLS listing. What about direct marketing to Realtors®? For example, if a seller wants to offer a 4% buyer’s agent commission, does the flat rate service provide a way to promote this above-average commission? Some flat rate services offer a real estate eblast program that sends around 12,000 emails to every real estate agent in Ft Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville every 15 days. This is an effective marketing approach and real estate agents respond.

7) Flat rate sellers need to think about contract representation. Contract-to-closing flat-rate programs help close the deal faster. Having an experienced real estate professional handle the contract negotiations results in a smoother transaction for the seller, too, possibly leading to a higher sale. One of the trickier parts of the negotiations is the potential renegotiations after the inspection. Negotiating an inspection report means reroofing the house because some inspector or Realtor® says the roof is at the end of its useful life. There is an art to getting the buyer’s agent, buyer, and seller on the same page. Also, there are some important nuances that help get more Realtor® showings, like allowing the flat fee broker to schedule showings (more professional), using an Exclusive Right to Sell (not an Exclusive Agency Listing Agreement), and using a professional looking metal sign.

How to List Flat Rates in Florida and Stay Out of Trouble

1) Read the listing agreement.

2) Call the flat rate service and ask how they handle leads.

3) Call and verify hours of operation.

4) Ask if there are any penalties or conditions if you cancel the listing.

5) Ask if the listing company will “unconditionally” withdraw your MLS listing if you choose to cancel and find a full service agent.

What are all the rich guys you know investing in? real estate. If you’re smart, you’ll also participate, regardless of whether you’re rolling in the dough. The only thing you really need to know to be successful in buying real estate is what to buy and how to buy it. (Hint: you can get it, even if you don’t have a lot of money.) Buying tax delinquent properties is your path to wealth. Here’s how to buy tax-delinquent property outside of the tax sale, for as little as $200.

The tax sale is the last place you want to try to buy tax delinquent property. With the number of competitors you’ll find there, the chance of getting a property for a real bargain is close to zero. Do you want another reason? You cannot inspect the property first and have to pay your offer in advance, without ever seeing the property. Then most of the time homeowners find a way to salvage their house before you get it anyway.

Does this mean there is no way to really benefit from buying tax delinquent property? Of course not! The owners of the tax properties are who you will go to, but only at the end of the redemption period. People who still haven’t paid their property taxes at this point probably don’t want the property anymore and are letting it go. Buying tax delinquent properties from these owners is easy.

These owners generally do not live on the property; they are owners or heirs, and they no longer want to have problems. They are already renting the property, so ask them if they would mind signing over the deed to you. The necessary paperwork could take an hour to complete – offer them $200 for their time. Then just pay the taxes and you are the new owner! Or price it low and sell immediately for thousands of dollars in profit. Buying tax delinquent properties and profiting from them is that easy.

Get started with this technique today, and before you know it, you’ll be buying $200 tax delinquent properties left and right. Strike while the iron is hot: The foreclosure rate has produced a plethora of foreclosures for you to chase, and there’s no time like the present.

If you own a rental property, the process of maintaining and managing the property may have become unsustainable in the long term. Perhaps you are too far away from the company to provide the care you need, or you may not be able to spend much time collecting and maintaining rent. Either way, it is vital that you find a trustworthy company that will represent you and your best interests while taking care of your investment.

There are four basic ways you can find a reliable property management company. First, you can go with a personal reference. Talk to other successful real estate investors you know and see who they recommend. Also find out who they have had bad experiences with. You can get a pretty good idea of ​​the landscape this way, even if you don’t end up choosing the same companies that people in your network went with. For example, the referral you receive may not provide services in the areas where your properties are located.

The second way to do this is by calling the Michigan Association of Realtors. The MAR will be able to tell you which property managers work in the area where your property is located. They may not be willing to offer recommendations for one over the other, but they will have contact names, addresses, and phone numbers. Many real estate offices offer full service real estate services and you will find some of them this way. When you call the real estate office, just ask for the property management division. However, there are some inherent dangers in choosing a real estate agent to manage your property.

The third way to find this service is through a simple Google search. The top listing on Google is All Property Management, and the Michigan link for that is http://www.allpropertymanagement.com/search/michigan-property-management-companies.html. This will give you a list of companies and individuals in this field, as well as the ability to contact these managers for a quote.

The fourth way is to simply check your local newspaper or online newspaper. A search on MLive.com, for example, returns several companies. Property management companies often advertise here in hopes of acquiring new business. While this can be a pretty hit-or-miss way to find a good prospect to work with, at least you’ll have the reassurance that an active advertising firm will have the ability to take on new business, namely yours.
