Is your home too noisy?

By -
So many seniors are being forced out of their homes.  Rising property taxes are difficult for all seniors but how about those seniors who have mortgage payments to worry about?  For some, leaving a home they've lived in their whole life is just not practical. Well the solution for their mortgage payments may lie in a reverse mortgage,  something that I will get to in future posts.  For now,  I would like to focus on "quality of life" issues.  One being living in home with high noise levels. That is why I am linking to my friends website http://www.tmsoundproofing.com . He provides almost anything one would need to soundproof a home or apartment.  For example,  you can try his guides at http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/store/pages.php?pageid=21 or check out his October special at http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/store/pages.php?pageid=17 . Whatever you can do to enhance your quality of life, especially if you are a senior citizen is so very important.

HARP, part of the Making Home Affordable Program, is designed to expand access to refinancing for otherwise qualified borrowers who cannot move into more affordable mortgages because of a lack of equity in their homes. Unlike other homeownership assistance programs, HARP guidelines are designed for borrowers who are current on their mortgages. The program was originally designed to help homeowners with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio up to 105 percent including those with some equity but not enough to refinance without private mortgage insurance. Last October that LTV figure was revised upward to 125 percent. Acting FHFA Director Ed DeMarco said tha...
