Dogs bark, What Else is New?

You've just moved in next door and your neighbor's dog won't stop barking. What can you do? The Jacksonville movers, your local Jacksonville moving company suggests the following. First, try talking to the owner about your problem. Many owners aren't even aware that this is causing you grief. You can suggest a doggy daycare or maybe even dog obedience training. Most of these dogs are outside all day until their owners come back home from work. If the dog is alone most of the day than a doggy day care might be a good solution to your problem and a mini-vacation for the pooch. If your suggestions to the owner don't work out and the barking continues, try contacting Law Enforcement. Sometimes you have no choice and the only way to get your message across is by using the Law. Dog complaints are high and the reason why these dogs bark is probably due to boredom, teasing, separation anxiety or even health issues. If you're moving in the Jacksonville area, make sure to call the Jacksonville movers to help you. Our Jacksonville moving company is licensed and insured and our expert movers are backed by four generations of moving experience.

Fannie Mae Covering Losses

Although it's the time to buy, if you qualify for a Fannie Mae loan, then you'll be paying more in fees according to AOL.com.

Wells Fargo to Modify Mortgages

According to CNNMoney, Wells Fargo said it would grant $2 billion worth of loan revisions to nearly 15,000 homeowners. Wells Fargo will also offer modifications to 14,900 homeowners who had pick-a-pay loans. Pick-a-pay loans are special loans where the rate changes during the life of the loan. It became a very popular option during the housing crisis. According to CNNMoney, these loans often started at low levels which were insufficient to cover the monthly interest and that unpaid interest would be added to the loan. Then, the loan would increase in a drastic way, many times soaring so high that the homeowners wouldn't be able to afford it, and thus creating foreclosures. In addition to all they're going to pay, Wells Fargo will fork out another $32 million to those pick-a-pay borrowers. Good news for so many that were foreclosed. For those that are buying a new home, this type of news shouldn't scare you. When you do make that purchase, call the Jacksonville movers to help you move. Our moving company is backed by four generations of movers and we're very good at what we do. For a pleasant and stress free move, make sure to hire the Jacksonville moving specialists as your moving company.

Marion Madoff Sells Her Home

We've all heard about Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. Now, his sister in-law is selling her 7,300 square-foot Palm Beach, Florida home for $6.5 million according to AOL Real Estate. Seems like the price of the house is a little high according to a real estate agent. The house isn't on the ocean or on the intracoastal, so it's priced very high. Houses in Palm Beach can reach $47.5 million, so even though the price is well below that, it's still high based on the location. Mrs. Madoff bought the house in 2001 for $3.8 million with her husband Peter Madoff who was senior managing director and chief compliance officer for the Bernie L. Madoff Investment Securities. The ownership of the house was transferred to Marion in 2006, probably in an attempt to block it from being seized. Based on the court case files against Mrs. Madoff, BLMIS funds were used to buy the property which means it can be potentially sold to repay some of the victims of the Madoff fraud.
