No pictures today, instead a brief note about something all of us will be effected. Here is a brief breakdown: Yesterday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a 1099-page Proposed Rule on combining required disclosures under TILA and RESPA and a Proposed HOEPA Rule, both of which were mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. Public comments for most provisions in the proposed RESPA-TILA rule are due November 6, 2012, with certain exceptions (see below). Comments on the proposed HOEPA rule are due on September 7, 2012. The CFPB is proposing to impose a "zero tolerance" on (1) charges for services provided by an affiliate of the lender or broker; and (2) charges for services for which the lender or broker does not permit the consumer to shop. This means that the final charges a...

The first twelve days has passed and the experience is great. It is different, this time I find myself paying attention to the little things.  This weekend my Daughter (Tara) and her boyfriend Daniel my niece (Brittany) and her fiance' Jamahl came to visit. Dad was in his element. He stayed up past midnight making sure everyone had what they needed and were comfortable. Typical Dad. I was sleeping on the couch and he told me he could sleep there and take his bed....of course I did not accept.                                                               Yesterday we went to farm, daily occurance. It looked as if it would give us the needed rain. Dad counted all the cows and calves....all accounted. Then he disappeared...I started looking and looking and looking...could not find him. I a...

The next six weeks.....well it started on June 26 and will end in early August. What on earth could I be talking about???? Spending the next six weeks with my Dad.   My dad will be 79 in August. In May, when I was visiting him, he watched me work from his kitchen table as I always do while I am there. You have to understand....there is nothing in Mart and we wait to go to the farm until late in the afternoon (too hot before then). He asked me if I work anywhere and I said yes. As long as I have internet connection and a place large enough to set up my laptop, scanner, and printer I am at work. This was his next question.....                                   I want to go to Montana for 3 weeks, can you take me? My dad, for as long as I remember, has never asked any of us for anything......

Jasper Indiana Homes For Sale Market UpdateThere has been a lot of information in the news lately about the real estate market.  Most of the country is seeing less homes being sold this year than in the previous several years.  In my recent experience and analysis of the local sales numbers, Dubois County and southern Indiana are not doing as poorly as many areas.  It is my opinion that our area, Pike, Spencer, and Dubois County, will continue to feel the effects of the slowed market into the spring of 2008 when buyers will start to shop again. Dubois County Real Estate Statistics From The Evansville Area MLSAs of 10-03-07:There are 298 residetial properties for sale in Dubois County with 171 of the homes having Jasper, Indiana addresses.  There is a $12,000 fixer-upper in Huntingburg o...

Kerstiens (it seems like it should be spelled Kersteins) Homes and Design is the most used contractor in Dubois County, Indiana and the surrounding area.  There is good reason for this...they build a quality home at a fair price.Building a new home is intimidating to some people.  The process is much easier than most people think and is actually fun.  If you would like more information on the process, home plans available, or want to see sample homes built by Kerstiens, I have a section on my website just for you. Visit my home building home-page at http://www.duboiscountyhomes.com/new/.After checking out the information provided, you may still have questions or be ready to take the next step towards building your home.  Contact me through my website, at Chad@DuboisCountyHomes.com, or b...

This blog entry is my attempt to help people in my part of southern Indiana to search for home listings on the internet.  Many times, people will use google, yahoo or another search engine to find homes or land for sale in their particular area of interest.  When they enter the search terms they are interested in (Jasper, Indiana Homes For Sale, for example), they get search results from hundreds of national companies that do not deliver what the consumer wants...a searchable database of listings.  These national companies will many make promises in order to get your contact information.  They will give a consumer very little information without having your name, email, phone number, etc.  The company will then sell this information to local real estate agents that will contact you (and...

The following is a quick overview of an important issue to consider when selling your home. Please contact me for further detail. For those of you considering selling your home in either Huntingburg or Jasper, Indiana, I wanted to say a bit about lateral sewer inspections. Lateral inspections are now, and have been for almost two years , mandatory when selling a home. The city must run a camera from your home, through your sewer pipe, to the main sewer line to look for damage or other problems with the system. If your system has a problem, you must correct it or the new owner will not be able to get public utilities. This repair can involve major work and major expense. The photos below show one such job in progress.

Jasper, Indiana is home to a wonderful restaurant the locals and visitors always enjoy.  High quality German and American cuisine is served.  I recommend potato pancakes with apple butter, the salad bar and kassler ripchen (pork chops).I recently had lunch at the Schnitzelbank with an old friend and two clients who have become friends. This blog is intended to show photographs of this area landmark.  Additional information about the restaurant, history, etc. can be found by clicking here: http://www.schnitzelbank.com.          The Schnitzelbank, proving once again that there is more than corn in Indiana.
