I advise my clients to talk to several local lenders and have them pre qualify you. That way you know what you can afford and you can think about the programs each has to offer and make a selection based on what is best finanically for your family. Next make a list of the things your family “has to have”, and a list of “would like to have” in your home. Before you are ready, try visiting some open houses in the area you like. Be honest with the agent that you are just looking for now. If they ask for your name/number etc, simple tell you aren’t ready to share that information. Ask them interview type questions, how long in biz, what they know about the neighborhoods, etc. If you find one you like and feel comfortable with, then you decide if you wish to share your information and ask them to help you. Some will needle you to no end, but just be firm. You really are doing your homework on them at this point. Once you are ready, select the agent, call them to schedule an appointment to discuss what your needs are, give them your lists and give them a chance to schedule some showings. You are in no way stuck with an agent. If you aren’t satisfied, tell them and why, if they don’t correct it, then tell them your relationship is over. And find another agent. If you aren’t comfortable enough to ask questions about each step, even some you may feel are dumb, then they aren’t the right agent for you. I’ve been in this biz for nearly 20 years and I haven’t handled every scenario and don’t have all the answers. But if you ask me, I’ll share what I do know and tell you if I don’t know.

I think I have rambled on enough. This should be a good start for you. I wish you all the best! And thanks for being in the market soon! We need al the buyers we can get.

Plants will consume some of the nitrates, but like was said, you still have to do the weekly water changes. If you feed your fish, they will poop it out. The only way to get this out of the tank is by you doing water changes.

Undergravel filters can cause more trouble than help – get rid of it.

I like having real plants because some of my fish nibble on them, they compete with the algae and help to keep it under control. When I first started back in the fish keeping biz, I used only plastic plants because I didn’t want to struggle with a possible snail infestation. But I finally caved and started planting. And of course, got the snails.

Once you have plants established in your tank, it’s very easy to maintain them. The only thing you have to do is trim them back when they grow out of control.

Realistically they mean one of two things, but they’re both about profit for the music industry.

People downloading music illegally will not buy a CD any more, so less money for the music industry.

People downloading from ITunes can pick and choose the songs they want at 99c. In the past the closest thing to that was paying $10 for a single.

One upside for consumers is artists now have to tour more, or they die off. No more releasing an album with one chart topper, and 12 junk songs and selling it for $30. And since the majority of artists get more money from touring than record sales, it’s good for them too.
