With problems in the mortgage lending sector dominating the news, home owners who have an adjustable-rate mortgage may be wondering if it is time to re-evaluate their financial situation.

Think carefully about your ability to handle monthly mortgage payments in the future - and make adjustments, if necessary, says Susie Irvine, president and CEO of the American Financial Services Association Education Foundation, an organization affiliated with mortgage lenders.

Here are some tips that will help to give peace of mind to borrowers with ARMs:

- Make note of the date your initial interest rate adjusts, or resets, since the monthly payment may go up substantially. You can find the reset date on your monthly statement or by reviewing your loan contract.

- Be familiar with other terms and conditions of the loan, including what type of ARM you have and if there is a fee for paying off the loan early (a prepayment penalty). See the list below prepared by AFSAEF for important terms to know. Contact your lender if you have any questions.

- If you plan to refinance before the reset date, do not wait until the last minute. Lenders need time to prepare the paperwork, check references and schedule the closing. Ideally, the refinancing process should begin two to three months prior to the reset date of the existing loan.

If borrowers already are facing financial problems, they should:

- Find out their options. These may include forbearance (when the lender postpones foreclosure to give the borrower more time to make payments), mortgage modification programs and help with selling the home before foreclosure occurs.

- Watch out for scams. Be leery of foreclosure specialists who offer to solve your problems by paying off your mortgage or providing other services for a fee.

- Contact an approved housing counseling agency. For a list of agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides an online list of approved agencies. Another source of help is the Homeownership Preservation Foundation, which has counselors from HUD-certified agencies and sponsors a toll-free hotline (888-995-HOPE) dedicated to preventing foreclosures.

In a slow market, it is particularly important to get a home or condo ready to sell quickly. How do you get your home or condo in prime shape for showings?

Here are some of her most frequently made suggestions:

- Fix any visible problems that might be a red flag for potential buyers, including repainting stained walls.
- Cover damaged kitchen or bathroom floors with inexpensive peel-and-stick vinyl floor tiles - if a more expensive change seems out of the question.
- Repaint public rooms that will garner a lot of a buyer's attention, including the kitchen, dining room and living room.
- Clean up the exterior of the house, added potted plants, repair damaged walkways and put a fresh coat of paint on the front door.
- Rent a storage unit and get rid of about half the furniture and most of the personal items.
- When showing the property, turn on every light in the house and tune radios on each floor to the same classical music station.
- Suggest that the owners refrain from doing much cooking (baking sweets is a good idea) and put good-smelling soaps in all the bathrooms

If you have just purchased a new home, watch out for a deed scam that is making the rounds.

New home buyers get an official looking letter in the mail telling them that it is important to have a certified copy of their property deed. Consumer Reports warns that the companies selling these services use high pressure sales tactics and charge as much as $100.

Chances are the buyers will get a copy of their deed at closing, but if they don not, all they have to do is contact their county clerk or registrars office. The charge for a copy is less than $10. In some places, they can look at and print a noncertified copy of their deed from the Internet for free. If you feel like you have been the victim of a scam, please give us a call for some friendly advice.

Carole and I both got a chance to visit the Atrium Aventura construction site last Thursday with Yansy Checa. Both of the condominium towers at the Atrium are coming along very nice and should be ready for closing starting in the next month or so. There are still some very good deals to be had on a handful of developer units that remain. We got to see first hand how nice the views are from the East tower. We did not get a chance to go up in the West tower. The floor to ceiling windows allow for maximum light and even with the blue covering over them it was still very bright. The views to the East are spectacular once you get above the third floor with wide bay views. Please contact us for more information on the Atrium Aventura condos. 786-586-4778

Pet-owning sellers may turn off potential buyers if they don not keep Fido or Fifi out-of-sight during showings. Most of us love pets, but it is a distraction when a potential buyer is looking at your home. Here is a list of advice for sellers when showing a house that has a pet:

1. Remove photos of pets from the walls, shelves, or refrigerators.

2. Clean food and water bowls regularly, and hide them when not in use.

3. Stash away pet toys, crates, carriers, and leashes.

4. Vacuum carpets, upholstery, and wood floors.

5. Keep litter boxes clean and out of sight, and remove signs of doggy potty pads.

6. Open windows to let in fresh air.

7. Neutralize odors with fresh-smelling candles and air sanitizers.

8. Hire professionals to remove unsightly pet stains.

9. Board or crate animals during open houses.

10. Repair visible signs of pet damage, such as scratched walls or floors.

It is not too late, reduce your 2006 and/or 2007 tax bill. Here is a bakers dozen year end tax saving strategies you should consider. These are some great tips recommended by HansenHomesAventura.com

1. Consider refinancing your mortgage this year. Loan fees (i.e. points) are supposed to be deducted over the projected life of mortgage, but when the loan is paid off early in order to refinance, any remaining points not yet deducted can be deducted in that year. Mortgage refinancing can be a smart move for those of us with higher mortgage interest rates and or who want to replace an adjustable mortgage with a fixed rate product while rates are still low. In addition, if your home has appreciated since its purchase and you are currently paying for private mortgage insurance, you may no longer be required to carry it if your refinanced loan amount is less than 80% of the home’s current appraised value. Also, if you have had your current loan for some time, a larger portion of your monthly payment applies to the principle, so you have less interest to deduct than you had when you first got the mortgage. If you are among the fortunate who could use additional tax deductions, refinancing your home will mean you will have a bigger interest deduction every month, even if your payments stay about the same.

2. Make your January mortgage payment in December. You will be able to deduct the interest on that payment in 2006. Keep in mind that you’ll have less mortgage interest to deduct in 2007, however. This can also work for your 2007 property tax payments, if they are not paid by your mortgage lender and your local real estate tax authority allows early payment.

3. Take deductions for any casualty or theft losses that were not covered by insurance or paid by others.

4. Take deductions for moving expenses that aren't reimbursed if you or your spouse changed jobs and moved to another home in 2006. To qualify the new place of business must be at least 50 miles from your old place of business. The commuting distance from your old home to your old job must be added to that amount.

5. Consider starting a full or part time home-based business in 2006. Working at home sure beats commuting, and technology tools such as the Internet are making the physical location of the business less relevant (millions of homeowners are now earning a full or part time income as eBay merchants for example). Portions of the home used in business may be depreciated and portions of the cost of maintenance may be deducted. Additionally, section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows home based and other small businesses to expense capital equipment costs in their year of purchase (up to $108,000 in 2006). If, for example, you will need to make capital investments in computers, software, a vehicle, etc. to get your business off the ground, you will be able to write off the entire amount that year even if you finance the purchases. Keep in mind however that other IRS regulations require that your new business show an annual profit with sufficient frequency, or else you may lose the tax deduction retroactively.

The city of Aventura is home to some of the best condos, single family homes and town homes you will find anywhere in South Florida. Aventura real estate has grown by leaps and bounds over the last ten years in large part to its central location to both Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Even though Aventura is a very convenient places to live, that is not the only reason Aventura real estate is so popular with buyers. The city of Aventura is constantly improving the infrastructure of the city by adding new parks and charter school, upgrading streets and landscaping, building a new city hall and police station and strictly enforcing city codes. Theses steps ensure the City of Aventura will remain a beautiful and safe place to live for many years.
The center piece of Aventura is the Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club which is currently undergoing a one hundred million dollar renovation. The famed 36 hole Turnberry golf course is being completely rebuilt with a fabulous Raymond Floyd design. When the Turnberry project is complete, it will become one of the top resort destinations in Florida. The name Turnberry is synonymous with luxury and service, and this resort is no exception.
Turnberry Village and Turnberry on the Green are two of the newest condos on the golf course and both provide stunning views and the highest levels of amenities you will find in any of the Aventura Condos. The city of Aventura is also home to several other condo projects such as Terzetto, which is a combination of villas, condos and lofts all in one project. One of the largest redevelopment areas of Aventura is 188th where you will find The Atrium, Uptown Marina Lofts, East Side Aventura, 3030 Aventura and Artech.

Turnberry Associates has recently bought back the Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort and Club and has already begun renovations that will bring Turnberry to an entirely new level of prestige. Both the South and North golf courses are slated to have a complete redesign by golf legend Raymond Floyd. The South course of Turnberry should be complete by December of 2006 and the North course by January of 2007. Turnberry already had one of the top golf courses in South Florida, but with the complete redesign, it will rival the top courses in the state. The resort is slated to be shut down July 10, 2006 in order to have all of the renovations complete for the upcoming holiday season. With $100 million being poured into the resort, there is no doubt we will once again see the top level of product that Turnberry delivers.

Maximum density for multifamily residential buildings in the RMF4 category will be reduced from the current 60 units an acre to 45 units an acre, and the maximum height of those buildings will be reduced from 40 stories to 25. Developers who seek to build up to 30 stories and up to 60 units an acre would be required to submit to conditional use approval in a public hearing before the City Commission.

In the Community Business (B2) district building heights will be reduced from a maximum of 20 stories to 12 stories. Buildings adjacent to Biscayne Boulevard would be restricted even further, to seven stories, unless developers requested and received conditional use approval from the City Commission at a public hearing, which would permit them to build up to 12 stories.

Structure parking will no longer count as part of a future project�s density but would still be used to calculate building height and number of stories.

The maximum lot coverage, or the maximum size of a building as a percentage of the property�s area, is being revised to 40 percent.

The maximum height of buildings in the Office Park (OP) district will be reduced from 176 to 100 feet.

Regulations for the Town Center district were revised to allow uses permitted in the B1 Business District but require conditional use approval from the Commission. Development standards were also proposed for the Town Center to ensure uniformity.

Redevelopment of existing structures will follow the same rules as those for new developments, but with the provision that the density and intensity of the existing structure cannot be exceeded: If a developer originally built less than permitted on a site, that existing level of density and intensity would then become the maximum allowed on that site. Exempted from this limit are properties in the Town Center, Hospital District, and along Biscayne Boulevard where parcels would not be capped at their existing levels, but could be redeveloped in accordance to the new LDRs. In addition, the proposed new LDRs include a rezoning of the Point East condominium complex, one of the oldest in the city, which would allow it to increase building heights, but not the number of units.

The move comes as some other, less-densely developed cities in Miami-Dade and Broward counties are considering and allowing increased densities as an incentive for redevelopment in selected areas such as in mixed-use centers and in downtown areas. City Manager Eric Soroka said, �What we�re proposing is pretty much in the opposite direction of where other cities are going.�
