Stachybotrys = Black Mold / Mold in attics

By Brian Carson Elliot Environmental

Let's cover a few things today. I get calls every day about black mold in attics.

Although mold growth in attics is generally black it most likely is not "black mold"

What is most commonly referred to as "black mold" is Stachybotrys chartarum.

Stachybotrys growth is caused by moisture from water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks, water infiltration, or flooding. Most attic mold problems are not the result of actual water intrusion.

Stachybotrys growth occurs on material with a high cellulose and low nitrogen content, such as fiberboard, gypsum board, paper, cardboard, etc. The surfaces generally affected in attics are roof decking and framing. These are not the common food sources for this type of growth.

Typical causes of mold growth in attics :

Improperly installed insulation Insulation can block soffit ventilation preventing the necessary airflow or cross ventilation from vented soffits.

Inadequate roof or soffit ventilation Not having enough soffit or roof vents will also restrict airflow again causing favorable conditions for mold growth.

Improper bathroom fan ventilation Bathroom vent fans improperly vented or vented directly into the attic space causes humidity.

Inadequate insulation Lack of insulation can result in a temperature difference causing condensation on the roof decking.

This information is based on my experience and of course there are exceptions. An assessment of the attic should be performed to insure all corrective measures are implemented. Correctly resolving the cause is an integral part of the solution.

Since 2002 Elliot Environmental has successfully completed over 500 attic projects, each with a ten year warranty against mold growth.

If you don't have any questions regarding mold I would suggest that you save Elliot Environmental as a contact/resource for when you do have questions. If you have questions feel free to call, I would be happy to help and it's free.

Real Estate Investing Club Michigan give Ed King's $100 Idea: How to include all of your employees in improving customer service…

Next time you prepare a customer satisfaction survey, ask your employees to anticipate your customers' responses. Have them complete the survey as they think your customers will, then compare the results of both groups. This will tell you how much education or reinforcement is needed to keep employees attuned to your customers needs.

You can even have employees, who have no direct customer contact, to see the customers as real people rather than faceless names or account numbers. Examples:
At staff meetings, discuss various clues to customer satisfaction. For example, a restaurant dishwasher can gauge customer satisfaction by observing how much food comes back on the plates.
Periodically invite non-contact employees to accompany your sales team to customer sites.
Start and adopt a customer program in which non-contact employees are assigned customers to visit on a quarterly basis.

Also involve employees in brainstorming sessions to uncover their own ideas for connecting with customers. Sensitizing employees to all levels of customer needs is likely to improve service and turn more satisfied customers into repeat business.

Making a business decision is just common-sense, when you have the facts!

Next: How to locate prospects and customers with technology...

We have just completed a website that lists all the $100 Ideas by category. Every week, we will be adding to the list. Go to 100DollarBizTips.com. If you know of someone who can use our practical information, have them register at the website.

Meet a Local Author and Discover a Modern Day Miracle

Lori Faitel is a local author from West Bloomfield. Her book, "Am I Brain Damaged?" is an account of her experience after a devastating auto accident that nearly claimed her life.

Lori was separated from the crushed vehicle, using the jaws of life. Twice on the way to the hospital, she was registered legally dead. She was diagnosed with a closed-head injury and in a coma for 7 days as her body continued the fight to survive. When Lori awoke from the coma, she was an infant in a 25 year old body. She was able to write, but not speak or walk, so her memoirs of recovery begin here.

From the Author: This book has been a life long accomplishment which I have been writing for over 20 years. I pray that reading this book will enlighten the general population to what the brain injured are experiencing. I am blessed to say that I lived thru a devastating traumatic brain injury in 1986. After a 7 day coma & 6 years of extensive therapy & self improvement/study I was able to return to the world of the Brain Non-Injured. If I can rebuild myself anyone can. Read my book and share in my thankfulness to be with you today and experience motivation as you never have before.

Meet a local, modern day miracle! Lori Faitel has made a full recovery, both mentally and physically with no visible signs of her injury.

Her book was released in the Spring of 2009 and has been a great success. Lori has been to many book signings and met lots of people who are inspired by her story of recovery and survival.

Lori recently released a second edition of her book with a new cover and beautiful illustrations, including a photo of her sky diving in celebration of her victory!

Come and hear Lori's story and get a signed copy of her book, "Am I Brain Damaged?"

Homes for Sale in Farmington Hills MI Owner Gave Mortgage and Real Estate Insight at Local College

DETROIT, MI – Homes for sale in Farmington Hills MI owner Darrick Scruggs, teamed with David Balagna of MilMar Financial and was part of a town hall at Wayne County Community College (WCCC) on Thursday, May 19, 2011.

Scruggs and Balagna answered questions and gave advice on questions to ask the mortgage broker and other real estate investing and financing questions.

Darrick suggested that home buyers and real estate investors talk to a mortgage broker to gain key insight. He said that it is a good idea to find what mortgage brokers require to be able to help you obtain financing. They also know key down payment assistance programs.

Mortgage brokers also have a strong understand how home comparable values are determined. Their information can save a real estate investor from buying a bad investment property. Many investments become bad simply because the buyer overestimated how much they could charge to sell the property later.

Darrick Scruggs has been in the mortgage industry since 1998. He was the part-owner of Granite Financial and worked at Millennium Financial Mortgage Group. He also is the owner of DHS Financial, which has been in business since 1992.

As a real estate investor, Darrick owned over one hundred (100) residential and commercial properties during the past fifteen-plus (15+) years. He lived through the tough cycles and helped put together seminars to help people learn the real estate industry.

Mostly, Darrick enjoys helping people. He likes to help people through his service, but he also gives to charity, volunteers his time, and advocates small business owners trying to find their way. Once you hear Darrick talk, you will never forget him. Not only is he sharp and insightful, he also has ton of real estate knowledge to pass to anyone who is ready for it.

Darrick can help investors anywhere; however, he is putting people in position to invest and buy homes in Farmington Hills, a suburb just outside Detroit MI. Within the city, there is a wide range of the types and price ranges of available homes for sale in Farmington Hills MI, largely dependent upon the subdivision.

For the house buyer, there are little starter homes with true entry-level pricing. There are also really large, elegant homes that will dazzle and almost seem like a suburban castle. You can also choose your living style: suburban, township, or nearly rural. Farmington Hills offers more variety than most people realize. Because of this variety, there are plenty of opportunities for investors, also.

For more tips and information about why it makes sense to buy homes for sale in Farmington Hills MI, you can visit http://www.HomesForSaleInFarmingtonHillsMI.com, send an e-mail to FarmingtonHillsHomes@gmail.com, or call (248) 796-8616.

Troy Refinance Specialist David Balagna Discusses Benefits of HomePath Mortgages at Local College

DETROIT, MI – The Troy Refinance Specialist David Balagna teamed with Darrick Scruggs and was part of a town hall at Wayne County Community College (WCCC) on Thursday, May 19, 2011. Dave claims that home buyers have a unique opportunity that is created by the HomePath Mortgage and HomePath Renovation Mortgage programs.

HomePath Mortgage Program

Balagna is really excited about the HomePath Mortgage program.

The HomePath Mortgage program allows someone to borrow to be able to purchase a Fannie Mae-owned property with a low down payment, flexible mortgage terms, no lender-requested appraisal and no mortgage insurance. Plus, expanded seller contributions to closing costs are allowed.

This program can be used to purchase primary residences, second homes and even investment properties.

HomePath Renovation Mortgage Program

The Troy Refinance Specialist gushes even more about the HomePath Renovation Mortgage program.

Why?

The HomePath Renovation Mortgage program allows a borrower to purchase a property requiring a light to moderate amount of renovation. This one loan covers BOTH the funds for the home purchase and for the home renovation. The renovation costs can be as much as 35% of the as completed value or $35,000, whichever is less.

So the house can be pretty distressed, but you can afford to buy and renovate it, still. This makes it easier to buy the home you really want for the price you truly can afford.

Just like the HomePath Mortgage program, the HomePath Renovation Mortgage program can be used to purchase primary residences, second homes and even investment properties.

At the event, both Balagna and Scruggs also answered questions and gave advice on which questions each buyer should be asking his or her mortgage broker before deciding to buy an investment home or the place where you will live.

Scruggs suggested that home buyers and real estate investors talk to a mortgage broker to gain key insight. He said that it is a good idea to find what mortgage brokers require to be able to help you obtain financing. They also know key down payment assistance programs.

David Balagna of MilMar Financial is a veteran of the mortgage and finance industry with nearly 20 years of experience. He has originated retail loans, established correspondent lines (for third party whole loan purchases) in the wholesale arena, and underwritten many pipeline streams.

David's mission is to educate his clients in this ever-changing environment. "Every customer's circumstances are unique, presenting varying layers of risk, variables and assessments to be considered for investor guideline evaluation. These considerations confirm the need to further educate the consumer which is made possible through a strong broker community."

The Troy Refinance Specialist knows what it takes to help a buyer find the financing to buy that dream home. He can provide insight into how much properties cost in Troy can also provide help with nearby Rochester Hills refinance information, but he can also help with key Southfield refinance criteria. Basically, he knows and has access to important information to help you obtain financing in Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties.

For more tips and information about how David Balagna of MilMar Financial can help you, you can visit www.TroyRefinance.com or call (248) 247-8957.

Local Detroit Real Estate Investor Expert Jeremy Burgess Gives Away His Business Secrets at WCCC

DETROIT, MI – Local real estate investor Jeremy Burgess of Urban Detroit Wholesalers and leader of the Renegade Detroit Investors group spoke at Wayne County Community College (WCCC) on Thursday, May 19, 2011. Jeremy gave away his business secrets about how to make money investing in Detroit real estate.

Jeremy told the crowd about his interesting personal story. He started his Detroit real estate investing by moving to Detroit from the state of Washington. He built a team and a system that allowed him to buy, rehab, and rent single family homes in the city of Detroit from the other side of the country.

He told us that he came to Detroit, because he saw all sorts of opportunities here. He refers to them as acres of diamonds.

One opportunity he sees is for a beginning investor to start a wholesaling business. He warned that wholesaling is hard, and you only do it until you have enough money to make money from investment rental properties.

He claims that a person can begin a wholesaling business for $2,000 or less. He said that all you need to start one is a scanner, a mobile device (preferably a SmartPhone), a video recording device, a blog, a website (different than a blog), professional domain name, an e-mail address, and social media accounts. He also suggested that a person starting should get project management and customer response management software.

There are other things that you might want to get as your business earns more money, but these should be enough to get started.

You need to have good bookkeeping. Either you need to be a good bookkeeper, or you need to hire a good person to do it for you. He advised, "If you don't have good bookkeeping, you'll pay for it for years."

He emphasized, "Speed is the name of the game." You have to be on top of finding properties and buyers for those properties.

He told the crowd that your buyers are not here in Detroit. They are in a different part of the country. In fact, often they are in a different country, altogether. A good wholesaler needs to be available to take calls at all hours of the night.

Jeremy also gave tips on how to find deals. To summarize, he said that you need to know what you are doing, you have to act quickly, and you need to know your business model. This way you know how much you can offer to buy a property without losing your shirt.

For more tips and information about how Jeremy of Urban Detroit Wholesalers might be able to help you, you can visit http://www.WholesaleMI.com. Jeremy also leads the Renegade Detroit Investor group.

He found the best general contractors, project managers, property manager, property security, mortgage broker, property inspector, and insurance agents. He put those key team members to work for his Detroit-based company. Hiring the "best at what they do" and letting them do their jobs not only produced better more profitable investments, it created more time for him to do what he does best...

Some customers out there are really simply afraid to complain... They'd rather switch companies than fight. But dissatisfied customers can wreak havoc on repeat business and word-of-mouth advertising.

Mr. Otten, president of professional Swedish Car Repair in Atlanta, ferreted out problems by telephoning all his customers one week after they visited either of his two locations. He set aside an hour or two a day to make 20 to 50 calls.

Customers remembered that the President of the company called them, and they really felt serviced. Mr. Otten got the customers to admit what was bothering them and address their problems right on the spot. The calls also kept his 12 employees on their toes. They knew that the boss was in touch with the frontline and wouldn't let anything slip by.

Making a business decision is just common-sense, when you have the facts!

$100 Idea: How to use verbs when writing sales copy.

Verbs start the story. Strong, active verbs draw the reader's eye and interest. Use them to start bullets, sentences, paragraphs in headlines. Examples:

Cut hours from your next plumbing job.
Whiten your teeth in seconds.
Double your investment in just 30 days.

Making a business decision is just common-sense, when you have the facts!

Next: Should you use a deadline in your sales literature?
