I confess that I am a busy Mom who occasionally (maybe even quite often!) takes the family out to eat after a busy work day or soccer meet. My family enjoys eating out but we have a budget. I was thrilled to find money saving deals at www.EatDrinkDeals.com.

The website features savings coupons to major chain restaurants;  sometimes you can buy 2 entrees and receive a 3^rd free. This means that one of the hungry men in my family can eat for free.  I also enjoy eating at local restaurants to support local businesses!

Here are a few of my local favorites:

Zeppolis at zeppolis.com                                     Great Italian Restaurant                                    Blacksburg

Our Daily Bread at odbb.com                              Bakery and Café                                    Blacksburg

Bull and Bones at bullandbones.com                  Steaks and more                                    Blacksburg

Cabo Fish Taco at cabofishtaco.com                  Mexican Food                                                      Blacksburg                   

          Due South BBQ at duesouthbbq.com                 BBQ                                                                                            Christiansburg

          The Farmhouse at farmhouserestaurant.com      Steak/Seafood/Chicken                                                            Christiansburg

          Sal’s at salesrestaurant.com                                  Italian                                                                        Radford & Blacksburg

Picture of the two handsome guys are my boys eating at Macado's which is one of our favorites - especially on Wednesday which is Mexican night!

Buy A Home Now!

You have watched Clark Howard on HLN or you may have listened to his nationally syndicated radio show devoted to helping consumers make smart decisions. I have taken advantage of many of his consumer tips.  Yesterday, Clark Howard said that now is the time to buy a home if you are renting. Here is the video clip link:

Renters: Time for you to buy that house?

Nationwide, renters are paying higher rents so before you renew your lease give me a call. I can advise you to consider negotiating a new lease that allows you to provide sixty day notice when you are ready to buy a home. The normal home purchase takes approximately sixty days. Also, if your landlord allows you to sublet your lease spring and summer are the best times to find someone to take over your lease. Before you sublet, I would like to talk to you about subletting and suggest that after you find a suitable tenant, you ask to be released from your lease.

A good Realtor® can give you advice that saves you money and stress! Call me I will be glad to help you negotiate favorable terms to enable you to buy a home.

Tax Savings for Homeowners You Probably Don’t Know About

You know me… I love to help you save money!  This tax season you should know about a PMI deduction that may help you save tax dollars.  If you are a homeowner, who did not have an 80% down payment, your mortgage company required you to purchase Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI. This insurance protects the mortgage company’s interest in your home. The catch is that the mortgage company asks the homeowner to pay the cost of insurance. If you refinanced or bought a home between 2007 and 2011, then you may have a valuable tax deduction that you are not taking! 

The National Association of Realtors® sponsors a fabulous consumer website for homeowners at www.houselogic.com. To view this article “How to Get Your PMI Tax Deduction” by Richard Koreto, go to http://www.houselogic.com/home-topics/a-home-owners-guide-to-taxes/.

If you bought a home recently, you probably qualify for this additional tax deduction. Please let me know if I have helped you save big bucks!
