Real estate financing should be one of the very first things that you do in order to purchase a home, purchase land or even a commercial investment. Without funding to back up your purchase, you are simply wasting your time.The good news is that financing your dreams can happen with low interest rates and terms that fit your needs. If you don’t have a financing company just yet, here are a few tips to help you to find the best financing option for your needs.Before You Look For A Home…Real estate financing should be done before you look for property, so that you can insure you have the backing to purchase the size and cost that you are after. The first step is to get a few quotes from several lenders and compare them.Many times, this can be done right on the web, within minutes. Finding out who will offer you the lowest interest rates, the best terms and the lowest closing costs is important and this can only be done with the help of a quote comparison.The Company That CountsAlthough there are many types of real estate financing companies, not all of them are the most qualified to handle your need. It pays to invest some time in learning the history of the company and the tools that they have in place that can provide you with a secure loan.Working with a personal lender can be helpful in getting your questions answered and helping you to address the concerns that you may have.In a day and age when there is just too much to do and little time to do it in, consider finding your real estate financing right on the web. Lenders are competing for your business, which means that you can expect great things from them!With lower interest rates and excellent term options, even those that have poor credit or no credit may be able to secure the home or business of their dreams.

Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
Shoe Repairs And Several Other Things When I Was 7
My Dad repaired most of our shoes believe it or not, I can hardly believe it myself now. With 7 pairs of shoes always needing repairs I think he was quite clever to learn how to “Keep us in shoe Leather” to coin a phrase!
He bought several different sizes of cast iron cobbler’s “lasts”. Last, the old English “Laest” meaning footprint. Lasts were holding devices shaped like a human foot. I have no idea where he would have bought the shoe leather. Only that it was a beautiful creamy, shiny colour and the smell was lovely.
But I do remember our shoes turned upside down on and fitted into these lasts, my Dad cutting the leather around the shape of the shoe, and then hammering nails, into the leather shape. Sometimes we’d feel one or 2 of those nails poking through the insides of our shoes, but our dad always fixed it.
Hiking and Swimming Galas
Dad was a very outdoorsy type, unlike my mother, who was probably too busy indoors. She also enjoyed the peace and quiet when he took us off for the day!
Anyway, he often took us hiking in the mountains where we’d have a picnic of sandwiches and flasks of tea. And more often than not we went by steam train.
We loved poking our heads out of the window until our eyes hurt like mad from a blast of soot blowing back from the engine. But sore, bloodshot eyes never dampened our enthusiasm.
Dad was an avid swimmer and water polo player, and he used to take us to swimming galas, as they were called back then. He often took part in these galas. And again we always travelled by steam train.
Rowing Over To Ireland’s Eye
That’s what we did back then, we had to go by rowboat, the only way to get to Ireland’s eye, which is 15 minutes from mainland Howth. From there we could see Malahide, Lambay Island and Howth Head of course. These days you can take a Round Trip Cruise on a small cruise ship!
But we thoroughly enjoyed rowing and once there we couldn’t wait to climb the rocks, and have a swim. We picnicked and watched the friendly seals doing their thing and showing off.
Not to mention all kinds of birdlife including the Puffin.The Martello Tower was also interesting but a bit dangerous to attempt entering. I’m getting lost in the past as I write, and have to drag myself back to the present.
Fun Outings with The camera Club
Dad was also a very keen amateur photographer, and was a member of a camera Club. There were many Sunday photography outings and along with us came other kids of the members of the club.
And we always had great fun while the adults busied themselves taking photos of everything and anything, it seemed to us. Dad was so serious about his photography that he set up a dark room where he developed and printed his photographs.
All black and white at the time. He and his camera club entered many of their favourites in exhibitions throughout Europe. I’m quite proud to say that many cups and medals were won by Dad. They have been shared amongst all his grandchildren which I find quite special.
He liked taking portraits of us kids too, mostly when we were in a state of untidiness, usually during play. Dad always preferred the natural look of messy hair and clothes in the photos of his children.
