The federal tax refund was a big boon to a lot of families who used it to pay off debt, buy much needed but unaffordable items, or just put it away for a rainy day. Simply use this money to pay down a portion of your home loan with your next monthly payment.

Prepaying your mortgage may save you a lot of money in interest, and can even cut down on the term of your loan.

Some people may have wanted to use this money to help their financial future, and instead of investing in stocks and bonds, it may pay off better to prepay some of your mortgage. Especially since there is not a lot of confidence in the stock market these days, this is even more reason to put your money in something you get a lot of value from anyway, your own residence.

Using any large amount you receive, or even small amounts every month, will cut down your loan balance and save you a lot over the long run.

Even if you don\’t have a bonus or rebate, or have spent it, there are other ways to reduce your mortgage quickly. There a couple of sure fire ways of achieving this end, without even having a big effect on your normal budget.

Just do without some small luxury, such as your gourmet coffee each morning, and devote the money saved to an additional payment on the loan. Since interest piles up on interest in a mortgage, doing this reduces the total owed. This will bring the maturity date of the mortgage down more quickly.

Another proven method of reducing overall interest is to pay your mortgage more frequently. Just mail one half of your mortgage payment in earlier than its due date, and the second half on the normal due date. The payments are the same every month, but the earlier payment will reduce your mortgage faster over the years.

How To Deal with Bankruptcy

Posted by: Mark Newman | Comments (0)

Bankruptcy is claimed by an individual or by an organization when they fail to pay back their loans. Bankruptcy can be either voluntary either involuntary. Involuntary bankruptcy is usually filed by the creditors. This is done in order to get a refund towards the credits given by them. Voluntary bankruptcy is filed by the debtor in order to prevent creditors collecting the loan.

Bankruptcy can be filed by an individual or an organization once they satisfy certain legal requirements . The debtor can file bankruptcy either under chapter 7 or under chapter 13. Bankruptcy filed under chapter 7 immediately exempts the debtor from all the debts owed by them toward the creditors. If the debtor has a continuous or a steady source of income they may file bankruptcy under chapter 13 which allows them to repay a negotiated credit or loan amount.

Bankruptcy certainly prevents the creditors from collecting the debt from the debtor, however it has a devastating effect on one\’s credit record. A bankruptcy report lasts for a long term and makes it almost impossible for the debtor to obtain any other loan or credit from any other financial institution. Bankruptcy not only has a negative impact on the credit score but also tarnishes one\’s image and completely destroys the credit worthiness.

Bankruptcy can have a negative effect of the credit scores. Once bankruptcy is declared the scores drop by 100 points and this effect may last until 10 years if proper steps are not taken to improve the credit report. The low credit score along with bankruptcy report makes the debtor a financial liability in the eyes of financial establishments.

One can try to rebuild their credit report in order to improve their credit scores. Instead of waiting for a period of 10 years for the bankruptcy entry to be completely cleared off from the credit report one can try various legal actions to correct their credit report that will make a big difference in the credit scores enabling the individual or the organization to be eligible for loans or other line of credits.

The first and foremost thing to do in order to improve credit report is to go through the bankruptcy report completely. If there is any report that is falsely entered, then this can be challenged legally by the provisions of FRCA or the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This allows the Creditors and Credit bureaus to investigate the report and to permanently delete any report that is found to have entered without any proof.

Easily Find And Secure: Angel Investors, Private Investors, Institutional Investors And More! Raising capital for a start-up, corporation in expansion mode or a company in virtually any position presents it\’s challenges and roadblocks. There has been no period in recent history that can simulate the difficulties that current entrepreneurs and executives are having when trying to achieve the procurement of venture capital. The standards have become more stringent and the cross-collateralization of personal and corporate assets as security for loans has virtually become a mandatory prerequisite for any type of funding, equity or loan based.

When initiating the process of raising capital one should take into consideration the use of a combination of funding options such as but not limited to: traditional venture capital, bank institutional, institutional equity investment, hedge fund lenders, private money lending, angel equity and loan investment, a private placement memorandum as the mechanism for raising capital distributed in shares, international equity based funding, the reality of taking your small business public on the OTCBB and many other concepts of capital raising that can be placed into a simultaneous strategy.

It\’s a common mistake among entrepreneurs and executives to place all of their attention and time into one singular aspect of the above funding concepts. Instead, you should pick a multi pronged approach and go after multiple genres of financing for your business. Some avenues will yield success, some will not but you are more likely to achieve incremental funding successes as oppose to one gargantuan, be all and end all finance victory.

To achieve funding you\’ll need to be able to contact multiple finance sources to start the ball rolling. Find online membership database sites that are owned and operated by professionals in the venture capital industry.

There is a big difference between a generalized database of possible lenders and a strategic database of success driven finance solutions. Find the most cutting edge, full range database on the web and join them.

Discovering the \’thumbscrews\’ of investors is crucial to getting them to take action. In over a decade of dealing with global investors there are several elements that I\’ve discovered to be universal truths about the mind of the private investor (angel investor, accredited investor).

When talking to an investor for the first time, it\’s more important to listen than to speak. It\’s more important to ask questions than answer them. It\’s more important to discover their needs and wants than to exclaim your own. Your first conversation with an investor should be all about piercing the armor and finding the trigger points that prompt a reaction that gets to the center of their \’childlike\’ state.

What I mean by this is, investors, just like anyone else, has insecurities that are rooted in their childhood and what they are outwardly today, is typically a polar opposite of what they are on the inside. For example, an arrogant, chest beater seems proud and obnoxious on the outside but the reality is that they are over compensating for an insecurity that is rooted in an individual or collection of childhood incidents.

Maybe they were made fun of as a child, maybe they\’re father was verbally abusive, maybe their teachers would single them out in class opening them up to playground mockery. When talking to these individuals it\’s important to listen to their voice and intonation when the conversation topic changes. Take notes on their psychological adjustments to the conversation. After you feel you have discovered the triggers that induce the \’pleasurable\’ responses, end the call, and set your second phone appointment with them.

On that second call, you want to have your conversation ready to go using the triggers you found in the first conversation. Play off of those insecurities that you found, become their best friend without being chummy but it is your mission on this call to be the \”guy that understand me\” to the investor. You want the overall tone of this conversation to have the response from your target along the theme of, \”wow, this guy gets me\” , \”I can see investing in this company\”.

By using this method and not coming across as \’fake\’, you have become an investment opportunity and a shrink all rolled into one. You want to be the one person that this investor can lower his guard to because everything he says, you seem to be the one person who understands him at his deepest level. You seem to naturally be tuned into his insecurities, emotions, needs and wants. Sound strange? Try this out on the next investor you talk to, I guaranty you will be shocked with the results.
