The USDA Rural Development Programs for 100% financingis still available and one of the few ways to not have to pay alot to get into a home. So if you partner the USDA program with the Home Buyer's tax credit now you can get paid to buy a home.

Below you will see the mapping tool the the USDA has on their website to help determine the eligibility of the home in question. You can pull up the address of the home and check and see if it falls within the areas set out by the United States Department of Agriculture Development Program. So for those First Time Home Buyers there still is a way to get in a home as long as you are willing to live in a rural area. USDA Mapping Tool

While you can see every state some of course have more areas available for the program then others. The nice thing about the Triad here in North Carolina you can have both and not be far away from either.

Holiday Tips - to enjoy the season stress free

Holiday Tips

Holidays are supposed to be fun especially the Christmas season. But more often than not, handling home duties, work and holiday planning this mountain is one we rather not climb. Every year, we say next year will be different. Believe it or not, the holidays can be stress free but this will require a little work. Here are some Holiday Tips to help you sail into the holiday season.

1. Stay organized
Make lists for groceries, people to shop for, cards to write, decorations to buy for home decorating. Put in place a calendar and give yourself target dates for getting things done. It will make a busy month more reasonable.

2. Less is more
Don’t be frugal about it. But simple decorations can speak volumes more than a room crowded with all kinds of knick-knacks. When it comes to menu-planning, don't get too ambitious. Choose recipes that are tried and true to avoid the stress of an uncertain outcome. Most people complain about overeating during the holidays, a small selection of quality foods will be perfect.

3. Share Hosting Party Duties
The great amount of holiday parties and conflicts in peoples' schedules co-host a party with a friend. Its one engagement for your friends instead of two, and it'll reduce your stress.

4. Prepare things ahead of time
Choose menu items that can be frozen until the day you need them. This will cut down on the number of things you need to do on the day of your event.

5. Cookie Trade
Organize a circle of friends and have everyone make two to three dozen of their favorite holiday cookie, bar or square. Then get together and exchange then everyone has a little of each. It saves you hours in the kitchen and comes in handy when people drop by unexpectedly. A few samples wrapped in cellophane also make great hostess gifts.

6. Decorated-colored potpourri
It's an easy design accent and makes the home smell like someone's always baking. If you're not into potpourri, scented candles and oils will give you the same results. Remember when you feel the holiday stress grasping, stop and take a deep breath. Warm scents like lavender or cinnamon will relax you.

7. Simple decorations
You'll find a great amount of Christmas decorations in the stores. Usually the most elegant and effective are those you make yourself. Get the kids to help. Use branches, leaves, acorns and berries from your backyard to create centerpieces or festive confetti that can be spread across mantles and tables.

8. Colorful concepts
Purchase a few yards of fabric in vibrant colors or textures and use them as table runners or chair covers. Patterned ribbons are also an inexpensive way to dress up candle holders and serving utensils. Or use them as festive napkin holders.

9. Get Housework Relief
The holiday season is a good time for a cleaning service. If you already have one, you may want to arrange for an extra visit.

10. Include the kids
They can help decorate everything from cookies to rooms. Even if they're in the way some of the time, they're helping you get the job done.

Ten Stress Free Tips to enjoy the Holiday Season in your home.
