Shared ownership status. Where does your home stand?

2010-02-20T02:51:00.000-08:00

Home Ownership:
Owning your own home is something that each and every person dreams of no matter who or where they are. The satisfaction that your personal home can give you, irrespective of how big or small, is something that you cannot get from the best of rented or leased homes. In fact, in America, home ownership has the same kind of importance that is given to the right to freedom and liberty.

Rights that come with Home Ownership
■Homeowners have the right to do whatever they wish with their homes even after their death. They can choose to leave it to their heirs or for that matter to anyone they desire.
■A homeowner has complete freedom to rent or lease his home or any part of it to whoever they desire, provided there is no discrimination based on race. They even have the right to regularly inspect their property to see that it is being used and maintained properly.
■You can sell your home or use it for any purpose (as long as it is not illegal) and even restrict the use of any natural resources available on your property.
Responsibilities of Homeowners
■You have to follow the zoning regulations that apply to your property. If your home is in a residential only zoning area, then you cannot use it for commercial use, unless it is something like a freelance home business that will not alter the residential neighborhood.
■You can renovate your home as you wish, but you have to stay within the building codes that govern the plumbing, electrical, and various other systems.
■An easement is giving others the right to use part of your property. For example, if some electric lines have to run through your property, then you have to allow the power company to have an easement on your home.
■You can use your home as you wish provided that your neighbors are not disturbed by you making too much noise at unreasonable hours and you are not interfering with them enjoying their own homes.
Home Ownership Tax Benefits
■If you have a mortgage on your home and are paying mortgage interest, then you are entitled to mortgage tax breaks.
■If you have purchased your home with a home loan, then a certain portion of your interest payments are totally deductible from income tax.
■All taxes paid as property taxes are deductible from your income provided these are actually paid and not held in escrow to be paid at a later date.
■Any expenses incurred as selling costs, or to make your home more saleable, are deductible from your income.
Home Ownership Status
■If yours is the only name that appears on your home deed, then you have complete single ownership of your home.
■If you have bought your home along with your parents or say a spouse to qualify for a home loan, then the parties whose names appear on the home deed have a joint ownership in the property.
■If you live in a condominium complex or an apartment building or any other kind of community environment, then although you have single ownership of your own home, you also have a shared ownership in the community complex, and as a shared owner are equally responsible for any repairs, maintenance, and general running of the common shared amenities, which might include a swimming pool, a gymnasium, grounds, common entertainment facilities, etc.
Home ownership is typically given a lot of importance and homeowners are generally allowed to do whatever they wish in their homes. While their rights are exclusive, they are not absolute. All homeowners should take care of their legal responsibilities towards their homes as well as their neighbors, so that they can enjoy their homes and at the same time not worry about having to be involved in any legal battle with regards to their home ownership.

A villain's life is tough in the Rogue Isles. So it helps to have every advantage you can.

Take a look at Level 9 Natural Martial Arts/Ninjitsu Stalker, NYTESWIFT, who is a member of the St Thomas Wolves Super Villain Group--4GOT10 Wisdom's newest SG coalition partners.

This image was captured on the fly in Grandville where young NYTESWIFT has just made a deal with the Jetpack Quartermaster for Raptor Pack at just about 10,000 infamy. Good going and Thank Groovee Ghoulee for the tip.

Be safe and fly high villains!

Friend or Foe? Virtue's Red Side

2009-11-19T07:40:00.000-08:00

It's sometimes hard to tell in the Rogue Isles whether a villain can truly be a friend. When it comes to Showgun Threat and his Ninjas, ya just gotta give the "Kewl Guy" stamp or approval and enjoy.

"Never Trust A Villain" is Millennia Demon of 4Got10 Wisdom's policy after losing 70 million infamy in a transfer gone bad, but this Showgun is a str8 shooter. As a talented healer, the balance of life and death is in his hands and he man's up to it.

Get your game on!

TIP: Make your pets interactive with this command: /petsayall, (then put the emote you want between the less than and greater than symbols)

Here's a November 4th pic of Fahren and Justann. Just two of the many funsters enjoying red-side Holiday raids in Grandville and elsewhere.

Fanta C. of Temporal Night Super Group

Fanta C. is an Energy/Fire Mastery Blaster. She has a killer power output, and is also a trained field medic.

Recently, Nyte Seraph left Fanta C. the inheritance of the Temporal Night Super Group where, "Between Dusk and Darn...Justice is Served."

After a few modest changes to the base and friendly recruiting programs, Temporals Night is catching its groove with the overnight and worldwide players.

Coalitioned with xXx Life Strategists and Villainhearts as well, Temporal Night is a force to be reckoned with. Just like its new leader, Fanta C.

Spring brings flowers, rains, and a whole new line of fashions. Take a look at Lil's light, bright and ethnically right Egyptian look for Spring 2008.

A crusader on so many levels, this born hero must brave the slings and arrows of many a misled hero as well as designated foes.

Currently tanking his way through Peregrine Island, Lil Black Boi is rockin' chains "So [his] people don't have to," and a stylish wrapped goatee.

Mr. xXx is the namesake of the xXx Life Strategists Super Group. Although not the SG's founder, Mr. xXx is the embodiment of Honor and Loyalty; the group's most trasured assets.

Steeped in shadows, Mr. xXx is rarely seen or heard from, but keeps a watchful eye over the group, coalitions, and lowbees who may find themselves in over their heads.

This sleek, smooth Internet Television viewer has it all in a nice compact and not-so-demanding interface.

From Verizon, believe it or not, it is a conglomeration of Internet streams from major networks to quirky independent producers.

I especially enjoyed America's Next Producer on TV Guide Channel. This reality show, hosted by Ananda Lewis, has it all...and Zoe!

Though in the Beta testing stages, I have been watching for two days and have yet to run out of on demand content or crash the program.

Enjoy!

I am not so big on trials, but this came highly recommended

IRS Has $2.2 Billion for People Who Have Not Filed a 2003 Tax Return

RS Has $2.2 Billion for People Who Have Not Filed a 2003 Tax Return

IR-2007-51, March 6, 2007

WASHINGTON — Unclaimed refunds totaling approximately $2.2 billion are awaiting about 1.8 million people who failed to file a federal income tax return for 2003, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. However, in order to collect the money, a return for 2003 must be filed with an IRS office no later than Tuesday, April 17, 2007.

The IRS estimates that half of those who could claim refunds would receive more than $611. In some cases, individuals had taxes withheld from their wages, or made payments against their taxes out of self-employed earnings, but had too little income to require filing a tax return. Some taxpayers may also be eligible for the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit.

“Everybody who needs to should file their tax return. But you simply can’t get the money we owe you unless you file a return,” said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson.

In cases where a return was not filed, the law provides most taxpayers with a three-year window of opportunity for claiming a refund. If no return is filed to claim the refund within three years, the money becomes property of the U.S. Treasury. For 2003 returns, the window closes on April 17, 2007.
