MyKabin Launches in Seattle – Brings Affordable Backyard Cottages to Western Washington

SEATTLE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Now residents of Western Washington have access to affordable backyard living space with the launch of MyKabin, a new construction firm specializing in backyard cottages. MyKabin has reimagined the construction process by focusing on creating a beautiful, prefabricated cottage with a minimally disruptive installation process that saves homeowners time, money, and the hassle of a lengthy construction project.

MyKabin is the creation of home design and construction veteran Clint Jones, manufacturing expert Paul Fichter, and Tom Todaro who heads up financing and partnerships. By combining their years of experience in their respective fields, they have created a prefabricated backyard cottage that can be installed in a backyard in as quickly as three weeks and as little as $110,000.

"The rising cost of home construction has made adding an accessory dwelling unit or backyard cottage unattainable for a lot of people," said Clint Jones, co-founder and chief executive officer of MyKabin. "MyKabin is the result of our desire to make adding this type of space to people's existing homes not only affordable but as easy as possible."

The MyKabin team has created a concierge experience for homeowners unlike any other in the small home construction industry. The team handles all aspects of the project, from permitting, to delivery, to the installation of the foundation and cottage, and hooking up utilities. Homeowners select their style of home, floor plan size, and finish level, and MyKabin handles the rest of the construction process, removing the need to hire additional vendors or home professionals.

What sets a MyKabin home apart from other backyard cottage offerings is the Karry Beam Foundation. The Karry Beam Foundation dramatically reduces time, materials, and disruption to the existing home. The MyKabin team worked closely with Pin Foundations Inc. to create a non-invasive foundation system that is installed in as little as one day, all without large machinery or the need to pour concrete. As the system is minimally invasive to the yard, most existing landscaping stays intact, and the installation can happen regardless of the weather. By removing the traditional foundation process that includes things like excavation, pouring concrete, and installing footing drains, a Karry Beam Foundation can save homeowners several months of construction time and significantly reduce the cost. The Karry Beam is explicitly designed for a MyKabin cottage and designed for a permanent structure.

The Karry Beam system is made up of four steel beams which are hand-carried into the backyard and placed at each corner of the cottage's new location. Each beam contains four holes that allow a series of pipes to slide through the beam at an angle to drive into the soil. Based on Pin Pile Technology, the Karry Beam system keeps the earth's existing soil structure intact, and lock into the ground to prevent the foundation from moving, giving the foundation the same strength as a traditional concrete foundation. MyKabin also conducts a geological study of the soils in the proposed installation area, so the team knows how to size and place the foundation.

"A MyKabin cottage is perfect as a mother-in-law unit, a short-term rental, or just additional space for your family. As our focus is on keeping costs as low as possible for homeowners, it's possible to breakeven on a unit through short-term rental income in less than five years given the rates in the Seattle region," Jones added.

A MyKabin is available for order and installation now. To learn more about MyKabin, visit https://mykabin.com/.

Legacy Global Development Today Announced the Launch of Four New Beach Villas for Sale at Orchid Bay, Belize

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Global Development today announced the launch of four Beach Villas at its Orchid Bay, Belize community. The Beach Villas are new standalone homes being constructed on the most desired lots of the development, right on the water's edge, and are the last of Orchid Bay's remaining waterfront lots.

The Beach Villas at Orchid Bay are the largest sized homes in the development. The beachfront properties feature architecture and interior design from Zurcher Architects and Zurcher Interiors, the leading design firms in Central America and the Caribbean.

Prices for the Beach Villas start at $550,000. However, buyers can take advantage of a current promotion which allows them to save $50,0000 off of their purchase, if they reserve their home by June 7, 2019. This offers an incredible value for that price range, as Beach Villas are among the most luxurious homes in all of Belize, and are located in a private, gated community.

"After the recent success with our Beachfront Condos and selling out of our current offering of Village Bungalows, we are very excited to launch our updated Beach Villas at Orchid Bay," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "These are the nicest homes we've ever offered in our development, and they are among the nicest homes in the entire country of Belize. They will make the perfect vacation home for those who love hosting family and friends - and we can't wait to see even more friendly faces in our growing community!"

Beach Villas are two-story homes providing the most living space compared to any other type of home offered at the Orchid Bay development. Each story has a covered patio, with an option to add a third-floor rooftop patio as an upgrade. The base floorplan is 2-bedroom/2-bath, but buyers may choose from 3-bedroom/2-bath or 3-bed/3-bath floorplans, as well. The Beach Villas are specially designed for comfortably accommodating more family and friends, and for homeowners who like to entertain in paradise.

Potential home buyers are encouraged to book a Discovery Stay at Orchid Bay, which is an epic 4-day, 3-night vacation which allows those who are interested in purchasing a Beach Villa to view the property and experience the Orchid Bay lifestyle firsthand, as well as take part in the fun and adventurous activities Belize is well-known for. The tour is booked by a Legacy travel agent who handles all arrangements, along with booking roundtrip flights at times which are convenient to each guest's schedule. Pricing per couple is $1,999, inclusive of all food, drinks, excursions, and in-country travel.

Legacy Global Development is currently offering additional incentives for new home buyers, which makes owning a home in paradise highly accessible and practical.

The Rental Program provides Orchid Bay homeowners a 3-year rental guarantee and handles all marketing and logistics, so owners can sit back and relax while generating revenue from their property. Legacy also recently announced the Paradise Retirement Plan, where owners can buy their home years prior to retiring. Then they can offset the cost of ownership through the Rental Program until they decide to move to Belize full-time.

Located in northern Belize, Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines North American comforts with a spectacular Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment. The master plan calls for a series of canals and basins for easy navigation around the community, first world infrastructure, and 10 percent green space set aside.

The community is comprised of Beachfront Condominiums, Casitas, Waterway Villas, Bungalows, and home sites and lots where Orchid Bay home buyers can build their own custom home. On-site amenities include the Tradewinds Beach Club and Restaurant, as well as a grocery store and medical clinic, both of which will are projected to open in the future. Orchid Bay offers many activities and tours for its residents, all with easy access to the best of Belize.

Legacy Global Development Celebrates Surge of Vacation Home Sales at Its Beautiful Orchid Bay, Belize Property

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Global Development today announced that they are experiencing a significant sales boost at its Orchid Bay, Belize property. Crediting the successful launch of its new Paradise Payment Program and Discovery Stay Tours, the property has over-sold its latest home offering, Bungalows; and has sold four out of six Phase 2 Beachfront Condominiums. All in just the last 6 weeks!

Additionally, two of Orchid Bay's Beach Villas are currently under construction, and it's Discovery Stay Tour, which is an epic 4-day, 3-night vacation to view the property and experience the Orchid Bay community firsthand, is booked through the end of the year.

"Our community has seen a dramatic jolt of momentum in 2019 with more people visiting our property for vacation and a surge of new families buying homes in our development," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "We credit our success to the incredible community of people who live here and our team that's dedicated to bringing the vision for Orchid Bay to life. At the start of 2019, we implemented changes based on the feedback from our residents that have had a major impact on our real estate sales, such as creating our new Village Bungalows and offering an attractive payment plan for buyers. We look forward to sharing more success with our community as the year goes on!"

Orchid Bay's newest home offering, Bungalows, were launched in March 2019. Initially, six Bungalows were released for sale, but remarkably, eight have already been sold. These Bungalows make owning a home in Belize attainable to a wider pool of potential buyers, as they're offered at a more affordable price point than Orchid Bay's other homes.

The Bungalows are located in the heart of the Orchid Bay community and are only steps away from the glistening blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. These homes are offered in 1-bedroom/1-bath and 2-bedroom/1-bath open floor plans which efficiently maximize the use of its square footage. Each bungalow has approximately 500 square feet of covered patio for relaxing in the shade while enjoying cooling breezes, modern interior finishes, and access to all of Orchid Bay's on-site amenities.

Tower-C, the third Beachfront Condo building to be constructed at Orchid Bay, Belize, was re-launched this spring, and four of out of the six 2-bedroom/2-bath units have already sold. To meet the growing demands of Belize vacation homeowners and North Americans who are choosing to retire in Belize, the Tower-C Condos will feature updated enhancements which include high-end finishes, exceptional design and layout, an elevator, and a prime beachfront location, while being only steps away from the Caribbean Sea.

Each 1,570-square foot Tower-C Beachfront Condo features a spacious layout with an open concept gourmet kitchen with center island, which overlooks the living room and dining area. Each Condo has two private outdoor terraces, at least one which provides unobstructed views of the shimmering blue Caribbean Sea.

Potential home buyers are encouraged to book a Discovery Stay at Orchid Bay. While there's been a considerable spike in bookings, there's still space available, and all travel arrangements are handled by a Legacy travel agent, including flights. Pricing per couple is $1,999 and inclusive of all food, drinks, excursions, and in-country travel.

Legacy recently launched its optional financing plan called the Paradise Payment Program. Terms include an affordable down payment and monthly payments as low as $999**. This program makes owning a home in Belize highly accessible and practical and has contributed to the influx of sales.

For those buyers who are looking to offset the cost of owning a home at Orchid Bay, Legacy also offers a robust optional Rental Program which manages the entire process of marketing the home, providing first-class hospitality for guests, and ensuring the house is well-maintained while owners are not present. This program comes with a 3-Year Rental Guarantee, which makes buying a home at Orchid Bay a smart real estate investment.

‘Finding Mold in a New Home’ – New Infographic Demonstrates How to Check for Mold Before It’s Too Late

PORTLAND, Ore. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mold Inspection Sciences (MIS), one of the state's largest mold inspection and testing companies, has announced the publication of an infographic now available to view and download from the Mold Inspection Sciences website.

The infographic highlights that there is always a possibility of mold when buying a home, whether the property is new or old. This resource is designed to show you where to look for mold, how best to detect the possibility of a mold issue, what type of environments mold thrives in, and the right questions to ask your home inspector, real estate agent, and seller.

So why should people read, reference, and share this tool?

"Buying a home is a big deal," says Michael Bains, CEO of Mold Inspection Sciences. "It's one of the most important investments you will make in your life. The last thing you want to discover while you're in the process of buying or moving in is that you have a mold problem."

Mold is a fungus that comes in a variety of shapes and colors. Mold can be visible and odorous, while other times it can grow undetected inside the walls, under the floors, in the ceiling, or places like your basement, crawl space, or attic.

Mold thrives in damp areas, and in building materials such as paneling, wallboard, carpet, and ceiling tiles. Don't be fooled; mold can grow in homes in the desert just as quickly as it can in homes located in humid or wet climates.

In most real estate transactions, a home inspection will be performed before finalizing the purchase. A good home inspector will be able to point out areas of concern when it comes to signs of water damage leading to a potential mold problem, but that is not always the case.

Bains points out that while a mold inspection isn't usually required, it is a very good idea to conduct this type of inspection. Mold inspections are very specific and should be done by a qualified professional.

The "Finding Mold in a New Home" infographic can be downloaded on the Mold Inspection Sciences website: https://www.moldsci.com/buying-a-new-home-infographic/.

About Mold Inspection Sciences:
Mold Inspection Sciences - https://www.moldsci.com/ - was founded in 2002 by CEO Michael Bains with one simple goal in mind: to provide affordable, professional, and high-quality mold inspection and testing services to people across dozens of cities in seven states suffering from the nuisance of mold. Over the past 16 years, MIS has successfully performed and solved thousands of investigations, providing safer and healthier conditions for a wide variety of clients to thrive in.

Legacy Global Development Offering a Special $100,000 Discount to Buyers of Its Brand New, Beachfront Condos at Orchid Bay, Belize

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Global Development today announced they are offering a $100,000 discount to buyers who reserve a Beachfront Condo in Tower-C at Orchid Bay, Belize. Interested buyers can also save $500 when booking a Discovery Stay, which is a 4-day, 3-night vacation to view the property and experience the Orchid Bay community and Belize, firsthand. The deadlines to book a Discovery Stay and reserve a Beachfront Condo are both May 10, 2019.

For the first time ever, Legacy Global Development is also offering buyers an optional financing plan on one of its beachfront properties. Called the Paradise Payment Program, buyers can put down a deposit of $250,000 and finance the remaining cost of their Beachfront Condo**. This program also offers the option to pay the $250,000 deposit in multiple payments, instead of in full upfront.

"The growth of tourism in Belize is astounding. It's similar to what we've seen in other popular destinations in Latin America, only this time it's happening so rapidly thanks to the internet and the increased awareness of all that makes Belize so attractive for visitors," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "As a result, we've received more demand for beachfront real estate at Orchid Bay, Belize in the last year than we've seen in all of the previous years combined since we've taken over as the developer in 2016. That's why we're offering the deal of a lifetime on our Beachfront Condos, and we know the families who buy now are going to be forever grateful they got a piece of beachfront real estate on the Caribbean Sea at this current rate."

Tower-C is the third Beachfront Condo building to be constructed at Orchid Bay, Belize. Tower-A and Tower-B Condos were all sold in 2016. To meet the growing demand of Belize vacation home owners and North Americans who are choosing to retire in Belize, the Tower-C Condos will feature updated enhancements which include high-end finishes, exceptional design and layout, an elevator, and a prime beachfront location, while being only steps away from the Caribbean Sea. Architecture is being done by Zurcher Arquitectos, and interior design being handled by its sister company, Zurcher Interiors.

Each 1,570-square foot Tower-C Beachfront Condo will have two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and will comfortably sleep four to six people. Its spacious layout features an open concept gourmet kitchen with center island, which overlooks the living room and dining area. Each sea-facing Condo has two private outdoor terraces, at least one which provides unobstructed views of the shimmering blue Caribbean Sea, allowing residents to watch the tide from sunrise to sunset, from the privacy of their own home away from home.

Three of the six Tower-C units are currently sold, and construction will begin after the three remaining units are sold. Prices start at $289,000, with the special $100,000 discount. To be eligible for the $100,000 savings, buyers must reserve their Beachfront Condo by May 10, 2019.

Potential home buyers are encouraged to book a Discovery Stay at Orchid Bay and save $500 off of its regular $1,999 price, if booked before May 10, 2019.

Pre-Certified Homes Take Off as Real Estate Market Pivots: Redesigned Realty Leads the Way

CENTENNIAL, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Traditionally, when buyers purchase a home, the buyers pay for an appraisal and home inspection after they put the home under contract. Not anymore. Brent Hilvitz, broker, president Redesigned Realty, LLC, had a vision that's now become a reality: Pre-Certified Homes.

"It's getting harder to sell a home now, because buyer confidence is low, and buyers want to know the home they are making an offer on is really worth the price! Our Pre-Certified listings guarantee the home will appraise for the contract price, and there won't be any surprises once the buyer is under contract," Hilvitz says.

According to ReColorado(R), active home inventory in the first quarter of 2019 saw an increase of more than 75 percent, Making selling a home for top dollar harder than ever. It's important to remind sellers that increases in competition may mean the end of "Just stick a sign in the front yard and it will sell" thinking.

And now with new Pre-Certified listing services provided by Redesigned Realty, home buyers are more confident when making an offer because they know the home they are purchasing has already undergone a 14 point home inspection, and has had a full appraisal performed by an independent licensed appraiser, and is guaranteed to appraise.

"It's getting harder to sell a home now, because buyer confidence is low, and buyers want to know the home they are making an offer on is really worth the price! Our Pre-Certified listings guarantee that the home will appraise for the contract price, and there won't be any surprises Once the buyer is under contract."

Sellers who chose to get their homes Pre-Certified and listed by Redesigned Realty will be contacted for an appraisal and inspection appointment within 72 hours of signing a listing agreement, and all associated costs are paid for by Redesigned Realty.

It's as easy as 1-2-3. Sellers sign their documents, and Redesigned Realty hires and pays for an independent appraiser and home inspector, then guarantees the home is in good condition and will appraise for contract price- and all this for no additional charge.

"We live in a world where buyers are willing to pay top dollar for a home, but they want to know that once they are under contract, there won't be any surprises." Hilvitz says. "It was just a matter of time before a product like this came along. The time is now."

As Belize Becomes Recognized as a Top Destination for Travelers and Expats, Orchid Bay Presents a Prime Investment Opportunity for Homeowners

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- As many North Americans are purchasing vacation homes, and retirees are choosing to move to tropical destinations full-time or part-time, Belize is quickly becoming the top choice for home buyers, says Legacy Global Development.

Many investors are jumping on this growing real estate trend and turning to Belize. Buying a home in Belize presents an investment opportunity for those who want to buy in early, especially as Belize's status as an up and coming destination is rapidly gaining in popularity.

Robb Report, Forbes, Los Angeles Times, and others have recently named Belize as a top Caribbean destination for 2019. There are several reasons why Belize is so desirable to investors. There are low property taxes, and no estate tax or capital gains tax. Additionally, assets are protected by British Common Law. Belize also allows 100 percent foreign ownership of property and businesses.

Legacy Global Development's Orchid Bay, Belize community is currently offering incentive programs for new home buyers, which are attractive to investors and makes owning a home in paradise highly-accessible and practical.

The Rental Program offers Orchid Bay investors a 3-year rental guarantee and handles all marketing and logistics, so owners can sit back while automatically generating revenue on their property. Legacy also recently announced the Paradise Retirement Plan, where owners can buy their home years prior to retiring. Then they can offset the cost of ownership through the Rental Program until they decide to move to Belize full-time.

Once moving to Belize, retirees may be eligible for Belize's Qualified Retirement Program (QRP), which allows them to bring in $15,000 worth of personal goods tax-free and pay no Belizean taxes on any foreign-earned income.

"Belize is the hidden gem of Central America that many home-buyers overlooked for a long time, while places like Costa Rica and Panama got all the attention," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "Now it's Belize's time to shine and all of the early Orchid Bay investors are looking pretty smart for purchasing property in Belize years before the rest of the world knew what an incredible place it is to visit and live."

One of the biggest reasons Belize is so inviting to Orchid Bay investors is that English is the country's official language, so all real estate contracts are in English. Belize is also very accessible as it's only a 2-hour flight from top U.S. cities, very close to Mexico, and US Dollars are accepted everywhere because Belizean currency is pegged to the USD. Belize is one of the few safe, tropical destinations that has preserved its gorgeous environment, unique wildlife, and exotic culture.

Located in northern Belize, Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines North American comforts with a spectacular Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment. The master plan calls for a series of canals and basins for easy navigation around the community, first world infrastructure, and 40 percent green space set aside.

The community is comprised of Beachfront Condominiums, Casitas, Waterway Villas, Bungalows, and home sites and lots where Orchid Bay investors can build their own custom home. On-site amenities include the Tradewinds Beach Club and Restaurant, as well as a grocery store and medical clinic, both of which will be opening soon. Orchid Bay offers many activities and tours for its residents, all with easy access to the best of Belize.

Legacy Global Development Announces Launch of The Paradise Retirement Plan at Orchid Bay, Belize

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Global Development today announced the launch of the Paradise Retirement Plan at its prestigious Orchid Bay, Belize property. As many North Americans are purchasing vacation homes prior to retirement, then choosing to live in their vacation home full-time after they retire, the Paradise Retirement Plan is a homeownership program customized to cater to this growing real estate trend.

"We cater to a specific type of buyer in North America who wants to own a home in paradise where they can live permanently or semi-permanently after they retire," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development.

"While there are many ways to approach retirement in Belize, many of our residents have found that buying early and renting out their vacation home for a couple of years or so before eventually retiring and moving there full-time has been a smart strategy. And so, our Paradise Retirement Plan was born - a savvy approach to retiring in Belize and getting more out of life while on a fixed income."

The Orchid Bay Paradise Retirement Plan consists of three steps which make retiring in paradise a reality, while spending one's best years relaxing by the beach and experiencing the laid-back Belizean lifestyle.

1. Find a home

Most retirees buy a home at Orchid Bay a few years before retiring. This gives them time to enjoy spending holidays and family getaways at their home in paradise while they are still working.

Potential buyers are encouraged to book a Discovery Stay at Orchid Bay. This epic 4-day, 3-night vacation allows those who are interested to view the property and experience the Orchid Bay lifestyle firsthand, as well as take part in the fun and adventurous activities Belize is well-known for.

The tour is booked by a Legacy travel agent who handles all logistics for guests, along with booking roundtrip flights at times which are convenient to each person's schedule. The Orchid Bay Discovery Stay is $1,999 per couple, inclusive of all food, drinks, excursions, and in-country travel.

2. Enter the Rental Program

Orchid Bay offers an optional Rental Program to help homeowners generate revenue which offsets the cost of ownership until it's time to retire here. This program manages the entire process of marketing the home, providing first-class hospitality for guests, and ensuring the house is well-maintained while owners are not present. The program comes with a 3-Year Rental Guarantee, and owners can still enjoy personal use of their home throughout the year when their house is not being rented out.

3. Retire and Move to Orchid Bay

Once homeowners are ready to retire and have spent enough time at their vacation home to know that they'd like to become a full-time resident of Belize, they could be eligible for Belize's Qualified Retirement Program (QRP). For those who would like to enjoy their Orchid Bay home on a seasonal basis, they can continue to rent out their home.

To qualify for QRP, one needs to be at least 45 years old and live in Belize at least one month per year. Requirements are having a monthly income of at least $2,000 or a yearly income of $24,000 from a pension or annuity (including Social Security), and this allows those who are eligible to bring $15,000 worth of personal goods to Belize tax-free and pay no Belizean taxes on any foreign-earned income.

Located in northern Belize, Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines North American comforts with a spectacular Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment. The master plan calls for a series of canals and basins for easy navigation around the community, first world infrastructure, and a Town Center.

The community is comprised of Beachfront Condominiums, Casitas, Waterway Villas, Bungalows, and home sites and lots where homeowners can build their own custom home. On-site amenities include the Tradewinds Beach Club and Restaurant, as well as a grocery store and medical clinic, both of which will be opening soon. Orchid Bay offers many activities and tours for its residents, all with easy access to the best of Belize.

With Every Home Sale, Local Real Estate Agent Helps His Clients and Fellow-Veterans Start New Chapters

BOISE, Idaho /ScoopCloud/ -- Robert Farias loves real estate, It's his passion. He enjoys seeing his clients start new chapters in their lives, whether they are buying or selling a home. And while every transaction has the client's satisfaction at the center, he also takes pleasure in donating $500 from the sale to a local veteran organization. Farias is the founder of 22-0 Real Estate at Keller Williams Realty Boise.

Farias is also a former U.S. Army Sergeant. He served his country for eight years and earned a combat action badge and an Army commendation medal. That service included a year in Ramadi, Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he provided convoy security for support units and escorted them around the Iraq countryside. When he was honorably discharged from the military in 2009, he left with the invisible scars that so many veterans do.

He credits his wife and seven-year-old daughter and counselors at the Veterans Administration for getting him through the worst of times but ever-present in his thoughts were those fellow veterans and active duty service members who didn't have the support he did. And he decided to take action.

22-0 Real Estate was founded and named to represent and call attention to the estimated 22 veteran and active duty service member suicides that happen each day in this country. That translates to one every 65 minutes - a 22 percent higher rate than the general civilian population.

"Suicide is preventable. Unfortunately, about 75 percent of veterans and active duty service members do not get the medical or mental health care to help them cope with the effects of their experiences and the struggles of returning to civilian life," said Farias. "This year, my goal is to raise $25,000 through buying and selling 50 clients' homes. That money will go to area non-profits that advocate for veterans at risk of suicide and homeless veterans."

Farias has presented one check so far with one more check presentation already scheduled. His business is also a title sponsor of the Golf 'Fore' Vets Tournament, hosted by Wishes 4 Warriors, on March 30th and is participating at the upcoming Ride for 22 Military Veteran Suicide Awareness Rally on April 27, 2019.

"Every time a client buys or sell a home, I get a lot of joy from seeing how positively it affects them. I'm especially fortunate to know that I'm lending a helping hand to those who deserve it most," added Farias. "I have a happy marriage and beautiful daughter, a new baby on the way in August, and a career I love. I would never have thought that possible in the darkest years after I left the military. I am committed to helping other veterans know there is hope and help them get help."

To contact Farias and find out more about 22-0 Real Estate, visit https://www.22tozero.com/about/

If you are a veteran or know of one in crisis, you can call the Veterans Crisis Line for confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Visit https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/ - or call 800-273-8255 *Press 1 - or Chat or Text 838255.

About 22-0 Real Estate:
22-0 Real Estate at Keller Williams Realty Boise was founded in 2018 by Robert Farias an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran. Robert Farias has been helping clients buy or sale homes for over four years in the Treasure Valley and Boise, Idaho. 22-0 Real Estate is named to represent and call attention to estimated 22 veteran and active duty service member suicides that happen each day in this country. 22-0 Real Estate donates $500 from each home bought or sold to local veteran non-profits in Boise, Idaho.

Free Land Incentives Hope to Spur on Spring New Home Construction

OSCEOLA, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- Spring is finally here and with it comes the start of the building season. Families are looking to build new homes, developers are looking for prime real estate, and contractors are itching to get back in the field after a long, hard winter. As part of an ongoing housing development initiative, Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC) has been working with the city of Osceola to offer home builders and developers shovel-ready sites at no cost for residential projects.

The initiative also extends reimbursements on interest for construction loans for up to a 12-month period. The CCDC launched this Zero-Cost Land Development initiative in 2017 as an effort to capitalize on the recent growth trends and development throughout south-central Iowa. While tax abatements and other incentives are offered throughout the state, the concept of Zero-Cost Development offers builders and developers a bigger opportunity for establishing profitable programs throughout the city.

The workforce in Iowa is experiencing unprecedented low unemployment, making businesses work harder to attract the best and the brightest qualified employees. CCDC and the city of Osceola are working together to help provide a big incentive for local businesses offering executive, management, and long-term employment candidates custom housing solutions. Local affordable housing programs such as Kading Properties' Meadows Development have been a huge success and there is plenty of opportunity for developers to meet the needs of those looking for more.

"Development land in the Des Moines Metro area can set builders back $80,000 to $200,000 per lot or more," said Bill Trickey, Executive Director of Clarke County Development Corporation. "Osceola is close to metro amenities with a quality of life you can't find in larger cities. Continuously developing and improving, the city offers a sense of community and safety among neighbors, providing peace of mind for growing families."

Osceola's major benefits include over 4,600 non-farming jobs, a quality school district advanced beyond some suburban Metro schools, and several quality of life developments like an expanding trail system, improved city parks, lakes and land for hunting, fishing and limitless outdoor recreation. City officials and the CCDC hope the Zero-Cost Land Development initiative will continue to strengthen neighborhoods and encourage families to call Osceola home.

If you're a builder looking for a low-cost entry into a competitive market, contact Bill Trickey at the Clarke County Development Corporation at info@clarkecountyiowa.com or 641-342-2944 to learn more about the Zero-Cost Development initiative.

GMAR Shows their Support for Michigan Veterans by Raising Funds for Service Dogs through Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Greater Metropolitan Association of REALTORS(R) has undertaken an incredible 5-year journey called 5 Years, 5 Dogs, 5 Lives saved. In their quest to assist Michigan Veterans, struggling with disabilities such as PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, Seizure disorders, and/or mobility issues, The Greater Metropolitan Association of REALTORS [GMAR] has partnered with Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs.

This partnership began in 2016, with their initial sponsorship of Service Dog, Cobalt REALTOR(R) Blue, who is now fully trained, and assisting Michigan Resident and Veteran, Matthew, in overcoming his challenges from war.

Next up, was GMAR's sponsored dog Thor, who Guardian Angels fully trained and paired with Michigan Resident and Veteran, Dwayne. Currently, GMAR has a sweet puppy in training, named Independence, or Indy for short. Indy is at the Guardian Angels Medical Service Dog Headquarters in Williston, Florida, completing her training to serve another Michigan veteran and his or her family. Over the next two years, two additional dogs, still to be named by GMAR will be trained to help a Michigan Veteran.

The real and daily difference that the GMAR family is making by their commitment cannot be overstated. There are, tragically, 22 veterans each day that take their own lives in this country, but once paired with a Guardian Angels Medical Service Dog, not only does the rate of suicide fall to zero; the rate of divorce in combat veteran families falls to less than 1%. The Veteran's use of medication is reduced or eliminated under their Dr's care; in many instances, they return to work or school; and they are able to re-engage at last with friends, family and community.

Guardian Angels is honored to have been chosen to partner with the Greater Metropolitan Association of REALTORS(R), and inspired by their commitment to the Michigan Veteran Community. GMAR is truly saving lives, one paw at a time.

If you would like to support saving the lives of another veteran, please contact GMAR, or visit their website at: http://www.gmaronline.com

About Guardian Angels:

Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Williston, Florida and has grown into a nation-wide Service Dog Organization. We rescue, raise, train and donate individually trained medical service dogs to veterans, first responders and others who suffer from disabilities including PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, seizure disorders, mobility issues and more. Guardian Angels receives up to 40 inquiries each day for one of their medical Service Dogs. There is no state or federal funding available for this critical life-saving program. Since their inception in 2010, Guardian Angels has paired more than 300 individually trained medical service dogs with those in need.

Our mission is to make paradise accessible for everyone, and that's why we've created our Bungalows to give more people the opportunity to own a piece of paradise," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "We're even introducing the first financing option we've ever offered on a new home for these first six Bungalows."

The regular price of an Orchid Bay Discovery Stay is $1,999 per couple, inclusive of all food, drinks, excursions, and in-country travel. However, the first six groups who book a Bungalow Discovery Stay are entitled to receive a special discount.

For those buyers who are looking to offset the cost of owning a Bungalow, Orchid Bay offers a robust Rental Program that manages the entire process of marketing the home, providing first-class hospitality for guests, and ensuring the house is well-maintained while owners are not present. For a limited time, this program comes with a 3-Year Rental Guarantee, which can make buying a Bungalow a smart and practical real estate investment.

Located in northern Belize, Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines North American comforts with a stunning Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment.

Anow integrates Veros PATHWAY and VeroSELECT, adds VeroSCORE QC to appraisals submitted by mortgage lenders

RED DEER, Alberta /ScoopCloud/ -- Anow, developer of appraisal firm management software that simplifies the way real estate appraisers manage their businesses, today announced appraiser productivity and appraisal quality integrations with Veros Real Estate Solutions (Veros(r)), a leading developer of enterprise risk management, collateral valuation and predictive analytics services.

Anow's new integration with Veros' PATHWAY(TM) platform allows Anow users to submit appraisals to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac through the Uniform Collateral Data Portal (UCDP) and to the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) via the Electronic Appraisal Delivery (EAD) portal. Prior to integrating with PATHWAY, Anow delivered appraisals back to its lender clients, who then had to submit appraisals themselves to the GSEs and FHA. Now, Anow will handle this process for lenders, saving them time, effort and money and reducing the potential for risk.

As an additional quality control (QC) measure, PATHWAY incorporates Veros' VeroSCORE(TM) appraisal risk management solution to score appraisals and identify potential appraisal-related issues prior to submission.

Anow users can now order automated valuation model (AVM) services from Veros' proprietary VeroVALUE(TM) AVM or from other third-party AVMs and AVM cascades through VeroSELECT. VeroVALUE provides a value estimate, value range, confidence score, subject property information, local market data and historic price trends for the subject property's neighborhood. A 12-month valuation forecast and fraud detection indicators are available as add-on services.

Alternatively, Anow customers can use VeroPRECISION(TM), the industry's first property-level, next-generation valuation decision engine, to determine up front if a subject property is a good candidate for an AVM. If so, VeroPRECISION will automatically determine the most accurate and appropriate AVM for that specific property.

Anow is also directly integrating with Veros' VeroSELECT(SM) to offer access to both companies' services through a single technology platform. VeroSELECT is a vendor-agnostic enterprise management platform that provides access to a comprehensive suite of more than 25 innovative collateral risk solutions from 15-plus vendors, helping lenders best assess collateral values at origination and across existing portfolios.

"Appraisers, mortgage lenders, real estate pros and investors alike trust and turn to Veros for best-of-breed collateral valuation solutions," said Anow Founder and CEO Marty Haldane. "That's why these integrations fit perfectly with Anow's mission to deliver top-shelf appraisal solutions that accelerate the digital mortgage workflow and instill confidence in the secondary market regardless of the current cycle."

"Anow has a well-deserved reputation for providing superior appraisal office management solutions that help appraisers streamline processes, minimize costs and reduce risk. We're looking forward to leveraging our innovative products and technology solutions to support both Anow's business objectives and those of their valued customers," said Veros Vice President of Sales Robert Walker, CMB, CMT.

Rukab Brash Law Firm Achieves Significant Decision with Victory in Recent Adjacent Property Access Dispute

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Rukab Brash PLLC, a boutique New York City real estate law firm, successfully saved a Bronx developer from paying an adjacent property owner a license fee of over $8,000 per month and over $100,000 in professional fee reimbursement. The firm also helped the Bronx developer obtain access to the adjacent property in order to install New York City Department of Buildings required protections in connection with the its 12-story mixed use affordable housing development.

A once described "little-used law," Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law 881 a/k/a RPAPL 881 is now increasingly being called upon to decide neighboring access disputes in New York City - and is considered required knowledge for landowners and developers in the Big Apple. The current economic and political climate of the City has dramatically increased the applicability of RPAPL 881 making each new court decision significant as it sets a new standard to expand this evolving legal area.

On January 18, 2019, Honorable Donald A. Miles of the Supreme Court, Bronx County, issued a Decision that granted the Developer the access being sought.

Jack Rukab, Partner at Rukab Brash PLLC represented the developer.

At the outset, the Developer offered to compensate the adjacent property owner with a commercially reasonable license fee and to reimburse the adjacent property owner's reasonable professional fees. However, the adjacent property owner demanded an $8,000 monthly license fee and refused to negotiate any lower in exchange for entering into an access agreement with the Developer.

Mr. Rukab argued that the adjacent property owner's refusal to negotiate a commercially reasonable license fee was tantamount to a denial of access, and as such Court intervention under RPAPL 881 was warranted. Mr. Rukab further argued that a license fee must be calculated according to the adjacent property owner's loss of use and enjoyment in the areas the Developer sought to access, and not based on an arbitrary "market rate" requested by the adjacent property owner.

The Court upheld Mr. Rukab's arguments and issued a Decision granting Mr. Rukab's client, the Developer, access to install New York City Department of Buildings' required protections on the adjacent property in exchange for a monthly license fee less than half the rate requested by the adjacent property owner and a nominal one-time payment of professional fees.

"With the building boom and evolving safety regulations there has been an increase in RPAPL 881 actions," said Mr. Rukab. "This decision was a significant one that will play an integral role in the future of development and expansion of RPAPL 881. The judge came to the right and fair decision in recognizing that the adjacent property owner was attempting to seek a commercially unreasonable license fee."

New decisions such as this one will continue to expand this legal area and certain requirements will be imposed on the New York City Department of Buildings, including providing written notification to adjoining property owners when an application for approval of construction is submitted to them. Developers and contractors seeking access are likely to face an adjacent property owner who is already informed about the Project that the Developer will need access for.

About Rukab Brash PLLC:

Founded in 2017, Rukab Brash PLLC is one of New York City's premier real estate law firms offering a hands-on approach and practical, effective solutions to their expansive portfolio of clients. Rukab Brash provides full service representation and advice in every aspect of real estate, from negotiation and execution of the gamut of construction agreements, access agreements between adjacent property owners, real estate agreements for the sale and leasing of residential and commercial properties, as well as corporate compliance, entity formation and risk management.

Rukab Brash's wealth of experience in New York real estate makes it the ideal firm for owners, developers, corporations, equity investors and lenders in both real estate transactions and in all court venues.

Baltimore-Based Home Staging Firm Beautifying Home Interiors through E-Design

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Care9 Redesign Home Staging, a Havre de Grace, Maryland based professional home staging and interior redesign firm, has taken their design services digital. Their e-design services now allow clients from anywhere in the world to get expert advice on staging and redesigning their home's interior while still enjoying the satisfaction of do-it-yourself project completion.

Care9 Redesign Home Staging opened its doors in early 2018 and has been serving clients in the Harford and Cecil County areas by providing industry expertise on home staging and color consultations. Recently, the firm has added e-design to its portfolio of services, offering affordable, expert home design advice to clients anywhere in the world. Care9 focuses on helping clients create on-trend design plans for their home while allowing them the flexibility and satisfaction of ultimately completing their design project on their own.

With Care9's e-design services, clients get one-on-one online design consultations with a design expert, who works with the client to understand their needs, style preferences, budget, and desired outcomes. Using this information, Care9's team puts together an interactive design plan of each room the client is seeking design feedback on and delivers it to the client's inbox. The client is then able to provide comments and feedback and ask questions and even shop the designs provided in the interactive plan with one click. The process is hassle-free and provides the perfect level of support and interaction for do-it-yourselfers.

The benefits of e-design are numerous for the busy and budget conscious do-it-yourselfer. Since all transactions are online, clients save time by not having to find time in their schedules to meet with a designer. Additionally, clients save money by not having to pay the designer's time to shop for the products featured in the design plan-the provided plans allow the client to shop for the products themselves.

The design plan that Care9 provides also helps clients avoid potentially costly design mistakes by giving them a comprehensive design overview of their spaces, so they can see how everything works together before spending money on items and can make the determination if a piece fits into their budget or not.

Karen Kneib, owner of Care 9 Redesign Home Staging, got into the business of home design and staging because she believes that all spaces can reflect beauty, comfort, and purpose: "Every space has potential for beauty. Our joy comes from working with the homeowners and bringing out the potential in every room."

By working with clients to create trendy, on-style home designs that reflect the homeowner's personality, Care9 helps clients breathe new life into tired old spaces by providing expert design advice while understanding the client's needs.

Mold Inspection Sciences Phoenix Announces Their New Expanded Testing Capabilities to Offer FLIR Infrared Camera Technology

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mold Inspection Sciences (MIS) today announces the rollout of FLIR E6 Infrared Cameras across Mold Inspection Sciences service areas throughout Phoenix. The introduction of this advanced, non-invasive technology allows MIS field teams to zero in on and identify potential sources of moisture during testing and sampling investigations.

The FLIR E6 has both a thermal and a visible camera that are used together to produce the patented FLIR image enhancement, called Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging, or MSX(r). By enhancing thermal with visible details, the camera produces crisper imagery and greater perspective on the scene. It helps users immediately identify the area of moisture intrusion and more effectively execute home and commercial building mold inspections.

"The FLIR E6 is an essential tool for providing a more accurate diagnosis of a moisture problem hidden between walls - really identifying what lies beneath," says Brandon Apple, Operations Manager of MIS. "With our testing methods already perfected, the E6 is an excellent addition to help better detect hidden moisture and mold problems."

MIS will offer FLIR E6 infrared camera inspections as a part of its their mold inspection and testing services. This integration will help MIS streamline processes and procedures, and provide inspectors with an even more definitive understanding of mold and moisture problems. This in turn allows them to make conclusions and recommendations for action, if needed, on the spot, improving overall efficiency.

"The FLIR E6 thermal camera is an important inspection tool for professionals, and we are pleased it was chosen by Mold Inspection Sciences," said Richard Wexler, Director of Marketing at FLIR. "Using thermal imaging, Mold Inspection Sciences can help reveal problems that were once invisible. At the same time, the company's technicians will be able to provide visual proof of the issues they find. That's a huge benefit to customers who are considering whether to begin remediation. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with Mold Inspection Sciences in enabling its important mission to help consumers live in healthier and safer conditions."

About Mold Inspection Sciences:

Mold Inspection Sciences was founded in 2002 by President Michael Bains with one simple goal in mind: to provide affordable, professional, and high-quality mold inspection and testing services to people across Phoenix, Arizona, Southern California, Oregon and Colorado suffering from the nuisance of mold. Over the past 15 years, MIS has successfully performed and solved thousands of investigations, providing safer and healthier conditions for a wide variety of clients to thrive in.

Legacy Global Development Announces Phase 2 Expansion of Orchid Bay, Belize Beachfront Condos

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legacy Global Development today announced the launch of its Phase 2 expansion for its Orchid Bay, Belize property. Phase 2 will include the construction of Tower-C, which will feature six ultra-luxurious Beachfront Condominiums. Architecture is being done by Zurcher Arquitectos, with interior design being handled by its sister company, Zurcher Interiors.

Tower-C is the third Beachfront Condo building to be constructed at Orchid Bay, Belize. Tower-A and Tower-B Condos were all sold in 2016. To meet the growing demand of Belize vacation homeowners and North Americans who are choosing to retire in Belize, the Tower-C Condos will feature updated enhancements which include high-end finishes, exceptional design and layout, and a prime beachfront location, while being only steps away from the Caribbean Sea.

"We're incredibly excited to present our new Beachfront Condos to the world," said Chris Williams, CEO of Legacy Global Development. "We've poured our heart and soul into building a home where people can live life to its fullest. For us and our residents, luxury is more than world-class designs and amenities, it's time you share with loved ones. We invite you to create unforgettable memories with your family in a beachfront home at Orchid Bay, Belize."

Each 1,570-square foot Tower-C Beachfront Condo will have two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and will comfortably sleep four to six people. Its spacious layout features an open concept gourmet kitchen with center island, which overlooks the living room and dining area. Each sea-facing Condo has two private outdoor terraces, at least one which provides unobstructed views of the shimmering blue Caribbean Sea, allowing residents to watch the tide from sunrise to sunset, from the privacy of their own home away from home.

Two of the six units are currently sold, and construction will begin after the four remaining units are sold. Prices start in the high-$300,000's.

The splendid architecture and lavish interior design are being done by Zurcher Arquitectos and their sister company Zurcher Interiors. Both companies were founded by Ronald Zurcher, the world-renowned architect who was behind many notable, luxury hospitality projects throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Located in northern Belize, Orchid Bay is a gated, master-planned community situated on a 114-acre site in the Bay of Chetumal. It combines all the North American comforts with a Caribbean setting. The development was influenced by innovations in community design that reveal small-town accessibility, connectivity, and convenience - all with respect to the natural environment. The master plan calls for a series of canals and basins for easy navigation around the community, first world infrastructure, and 40 percent green space set aside.

This is one of many other community construction projects which are currently taking place at Orchid Bay Belize. The community is comprised of Private Homes, a Boutique Hotel, Beachfront Condominiums, Casitas, Waterway Villas, and home sites and lots where homeowners can build their own custom home. Onsite amenities include our Tradewinds Beach Club and Restaurant, as well as a grocery store and medical clinic, both of which will be opening soon. Orchid Bay offers many activities and tours for its residents, all with easy access to the best of Belize.
