Compost, Cubic Feet & Goldie Hawn?




not our real truck but it is kind of cool!

 Amazing what we can find on the internet.....I want to buy some mushroom compost and it is sold by the truck load....So I am assuming I need to know what the cubic capacity is of our truck bed.

 I ask my husband how do I get that and he smugly said Google it! (I didn’t really Google it because I am now a devote’ of Bing, with those wonderful photos on their home page how could you not? So I Binged It?)

I actually tried this first on my I Phone but it was not being co-operative so I did it the old fashioned way I went to my computer. As soon as I hit search I am learning that it is Length x Width x Depth. All measurements need to be in feet so anything that is less than one foot divide by 12 to get the percent of feet. Simple actually...

This reminds me of when I was in school my Dad was always telling me to go look it up in the dictionary or the encyclopedia. Do they even make encyclopedias anymore?

 Guess no one today would get the joke that was a running theme throughout  Laugh In, which was “Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls!"

If you are a COUGAR pretend you do not have a clue as to what I am talking about......
And if you are dating a much older man Laugh In was a TV show where Goldie Hawn got her start in the 70’s....

You do know who Goldie Hawn is, right? OMG ! 

 Guess I don’t even need to mention Will .....

CASH IS KING

Cash speaks volumes in this market. And when many short sales and foreclosures are being confronted with multiple offers Bank's love a sure thing. And a Cash deal means YES this is going to happen. No VA or FHA rules that at the last minute might halt the process….just good old green and be done with that confounding property once and for all.

And unfortunately there are many properties that just will not fit within guidelines of government backed loans. In a market where financing is tight this just might give your offer the edge that a financed offer does not afford.

If you do have the cash you might just get yourself a fabulous deal. There certainly are pitfalls, one of which is your offer might offend the seller so much they do not want to deal with you. But if you are dealing with a bank or a lawyer and emotion has nothing to do with the sale you might just have hit the jack pot.

Last year alone half of the houses sold were in the distressed category and from what The National Association of Realtors has projected this trend is not going to abate any time soon. This is clearly a problem for appraisers who have to take into consideration these homes even in a regular transaction. Often the appraisers just cannot find the comparative sales to support a NON –DISTRESS sale and the deal dies and the home goes back on the market. That is another reason that one third of all sales involved investors who were not hampered by appraisals and financing….. CASH is king!
