Can I Automate My Business?

Most of the time, when automation is discussed, it is in the area of home automation. Home Automation is, basically, anything that gives you control over certain aspects of your property from one location, whether that is inside your home or remotely. Home automation systems can be as simple as being able to control some or all of the lights in your home from one control. It can also be quite complex. These types of systems, however, can also be used in commercial properties.

Automation systems can include: lights (both interior and exterior), security systems, audio systems, theater systems, heating and A/C systems, and even window draperies and shades. These systems allow you to use one controller inside your business to control these systems. They can also be set up to allow access through the internet or your cell phone. You can even use voice recognition to access some systems.

What's even better than being able to do all these things without getting up? Saving energy costs at the same time. Many of the features, especially lighting systems, can pay for themselves with a 10% energy savings each year.

Most People Do Not Plan to Fail They Just Fail to Plan

The most important challenge facing our nation is finding a balance between our desire for government’s services and protection, and our willingness to pay for them. With so many people either working for the government, or dependent on the government, where are we going to get the money? If you check the latest national poverty statistics, more than at any time in the past four decades American’s are making the slide into poverty. Most vulnerable are people 55 to 64 one in 10 of whom now live below the poverty line. Over 800,000 people 45 to 64 lost health insurance. Social Security recipients will get a cost-of-living adjustment of 3.6% in 2012. That will help after 2 years of no increase. Some of that adjustment, however, will be offset by the rise in Medicare Part B premiums, which pay for doctor visits and other outpatient medical services. Recipients have suffered financially from the lack of COLA because out-of-pocket cost on which older adults spend much of their income continued to soar. One in two married couples and three in four single people rely on Social Security for at least half of their income. Question is what you are setting aside going to be enough? Are you going to retire into poverty? If you fail to plan, you have a plan for failure. For the cost of a cup of coffee at StarBucks, you could help yourself. By the way, the only person you can count on is yourself.

Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act...

Lenders have always had to disclose the overall cost of your loan and other information during the lending process. This includes fees and the actual Annual Percentage Rate. Lenders that are not reputable would play games with the rate by adding fees. Many clients would close with a higher rate because the lenders would change the fees at the last minute. This act requires that lenders redo the Truth in Lending disclosure if the APR goes up by .125% or more. It also requires that closing must wait 3-7 days so that the buyers have time to understand any changes that may have happened. This can sometimes cause an issue when purchasing a home because this waiting time can't be waived. It is required and closing will sometimes be delayed. This also can increase costs for the seller and buyer for items such as interest, storage costs due to delayed closing and more.
