Creating a Realistic Budget - Tip 4

Budgeting -- ooh, what a scary word! If you want to frighten someone whose finances are out of control, suggest that they tally up their expenses on a piece of paper. We all understand the value of such an exercise, but when it comes to the practicality of putting a budget together, we get cold feet. Budgeting doesn't have to be so painful, when you have a systematic series of steps to follow.

Visit if Tip 1, Tip 2 and Tip 3 if you have not yet read it.


ROOT OUT MONEY LEAKS

Now I guarantee that you will not remember every expense, no matter how hard you strain your brain! Think about all of the things that you buy throughout your week without really paying attention -- snacks at work, a magazine when you stop for gas, that cup of coffee on your way in every morning. And don't forget about the expenses you are racking up because of financial disorganization -- interest charges on your credit card debt, late fees because you forgot to return that movie on time, overdraft charges because you didn't balance your checkbook. All of these fall into the category of unconscious spending. You just do it because it's a habit. And although you think that a dollar here or fifty cents there is insignificant, it can really add up.

So for a month, record every penny that leaves your hand, in the form of a check or cash or a credit card transaction. This may sound like a huge challenge, but you can do it! Make it convenient -- my husband stuck a small pencil and piece of paper in his wallet so he would be reminded to make a note every time he made a purchase. You will be stunned when you see where your money is really going! My husband was shocked to find out that he was spending almost a hundred dollars a month on that morning coffee (am I picking on Starbucks too much?!) What's your vice -- eating out when you are feeling lazy? Buying every new CD or magazine that comes out? I'm not suggesting that you completely eliminate these habits -- just that you decide how often you can reasonably afford to indulge and still reach your other financial goals.

Creating a Realistic Budget - Tip 2

Budgeting -- ooh, what a scary word! If you want to frighten someone whose finances are out of control, suggest that they tally up their expenses on a piece of paper. We all understand the value of such an exercise, but when it comes to the practicality of putting a budget together, we get cold feet. Budgeting doesn't have to be so painful, when you have a systematic series of steps to follow.

Visit Part 1 if you have not yet read it.

CREATE THE SHEET
Start with either a sheet of legal paper -- or a spreadsheet program -- and create 12 columns. Label the top of each column with a month of the year, from January to December (duh!) Each row on your sheet will represent a different living expense -- groceries, gasoline, Starbucks coffee in the morning on the way to work. You'll have better luck remembering everything that you spend money on if you think according to categories. "Automobile" would include gas, repairs, insurance, and taxes -- while "grooming" might be divided into clothes, makeup, haircuts, and facials.

Caretaker Frequently Asked Questions About Homes In Transition (Part 7)

We review some of the most common questions about the Homes In Transition program that we receive from potential caretakers.  We hope this helps you get a better sense for our service.  Be sure to check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6 if you have not yet.

Is smoking allowed?

NO!
If our Caretaker Inspector discovers smoking in the house, you will be subject to immediate removal from our program for violating the terms of the agreement. You are ultimately responsible for the prevention of all smoking inside the home, that means friends, relatives, persons accomplishing repairs... anyone at all -- no smoking.

Is Homes In Transition too good to be true?


In today’s world there is an endless supply of scams, fraud and deceit and you would be foolish to not ask such a question about a program like Homes In Transition. From first glance the HIT program seems to be “Too Good To Be True”, offering a great deal for very little cost! The fact of the matter is - for most of our Homeowners there is NO COST - for Realtors there is NO COST, and for Caretakers, an amazing LOW COST arrangement!

We review some of the most common questions about the Homes In Transition program that we receive from potential caretakers.  We hope this helps you get a better sense for our service.  Be sure to check out Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 if you have not yet.

Why do I need to provide pictures of my furnishings?

Homes In Transition is like a dating service for your furniture. It is our goal to provide you a house that matches the style and quantity of your tasteful furniture. One of the Caretaker’s goals is to enhance the show ability of each property. This is accomplished through the “staging” of the property utilizing your furnishings and guidance by our IRIS Certified Interior Staging and Redesign Specialist and trained staff. Providing pictures helps us determine the best house in our inventory that will fit your needs.

 

What are my responsibilities as a HIT Caretaker?

• During your occupancy, you will be expected to tastefully (at our direction) furnish the home.
• Provide for the care and maintenance of the property both inside and out. The property will be on the market for sale, during which time you will be required to maintain the property in a clean and orderly manner or what we call a “show ready” condition both inside and out.
• OK, here is the easy part -- no great looking property is complete without the gracious attitude of accommodation which must always be on display towards the company staff and those wishing to visit and view the property.
• You will be required to pay the usual reoccuring monthly utilities and associated services such as trash collection during occupancy.
• You will be required to carry at a minimum, a basic renters insurance policy. and of course once the property sells, you must be willing and able to move with as little as 14 days notice.

Homes In Transition for Caretakers (Part 1)

Welcome to the unique interim housing opportunity provided by Homes In Transition (HIT)

Since 2009 HIT has been a Better Business Buereu A+ rated company!

HIT offers a unique service to help Property Owners sell their vacant houses faster and at a better price. An interesting result of providing this type of service is that it also provides families and individuals the opportunity to live in one of these fine houses for about the cost of a studio apartment!

You are not alone if this raised your eyebrows. Since 1986 the owners and staff of Homes In Transition have been providing individuals the opportunity to live in a great house for a great price almost continuously up to the founding of Homes in Transition in 2009. Homes In Transition is the culmination of over twenty years of combined expertise in helping Property Owners achieve their goals while providing the great interim housing opportunity hundreds before you have enjoyed. 

Often we're asked, "who are these people that move from house to house". The short answer is they are people like you. They come from a wide variety of economic backgrounds, employment sectors and educational levels. Some come from out of town looking for a short term housing situation till they get a lay of the land and can find the right neighborhood or build a house. Some come as a result of a crushing economic situation they have recently encountered, divorce, SAVE MONEYmoney, repair their credit and pay off bills. The reality is, the reasons people come stay with HIT are as numerous as the valued Caretakers who call their HIT house, home. 

We understand there is a lot of fraud and scam in every industry, especially real estate. You will be happy to know that Homes In Transition has provided our interim housing solution for hundreds of Caretakers before you and still maintains an A+ Better Business Bureau rating! That is better than any property management rental agency in the area. HIT is a member of the local Chamber of Commerace and has local roots.

We will caution you up front however, the program is not for everybody! We perform background checks, we require your accommodation of the selling process (showings, open house and closings), we inspect your house regularly to ensure your compliance and understanding of this unique living situation. But, you get to live in a great house for a fraction of the market rent! Yes, it's true you will have greater responsibility than a typical rental situation, but if you have clean living habits, are a good citizen and have the desire and ability to perform the minor maintenance, HIT offers a great opportunity for your housing needs.
