Every Quarter I always read various reports on which improvements give you the best bang for your buck or better yet which ones to avoid. Everyone wants to know which improvements are most important... You should really know the answer if you are thinking about selling your home in the near future.

I recently upgraded my kitchen, one because my family and I would enjoy a updated kitchen and two we would have a much easier selling our home with a kitchen upgrade than without.

Anyway check out the link below and take a look at Forbes Ten Worst Home Improvements for the money.

Many homeowners are struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments perhaps because their interest rate has increased or they have less income. A Home Affordable Modification will provide them with mortgage payments they can afford.

If you can no longer afford to make your monthly loan payments, you may qualify for a loan modification to make your monthly mortgage payment more affordable. Millions of borrowers who are current, but having difficulty making their payments and borrowers who have already missed one or more payments may be eligible. Are you eligible for a Home Affordable Modification ( the Obama Mortgage Plan)? Just answer these questions:

1. Is your home your primary residence?

2. Is the amount you owe on your first mortgage equal to or less than $729,750?

3. Are you having trouble paying your mortgage?

For example, have you had a significant increase in your mortgage payment OR reduction in your income since you got your current loan OR have you suffered a hardship that has increased your expenses (like medical bills)?

4. Did you get your current mortgage before January 1, 2010?

If you answered yes to these questions, you are a good candidate for this program. Under the Obama mortgage plan guidelines, your lender may lower your mortgage payments to no more than 31% of a borrowers pre tax monthly income.

Ok how is this is done:

* First, reduce the interest rate to as low as 2%,

* Next, if necessary, extend the long term to 40 years,

* Finally, if necessary, forbear (defer) a portion of the principal until the loan is paid off and waive interest on the deferred amount.

There are additional information upcoming before the end of September 2010.
