People who live in the Phoenix Arizona area and who like fresh pork products are known to drive, even if it takes more than an hour, to get to a place called The Pork Shop. Located in Queen Creek Arizona at 3359 E Combs Road this is a shop that cuts all of its own product.  The business has been around since 1979 and was established by a long time hog farmer. They brown sugar cure and hickory smoke their bacon and hams in their own smoke house. The place sells pork in every cut and possible form. There are always samples on hand. And if you are hungry and want to eat right now, they have a menu and outside sitting. For more information catch our blog about The Pork Shop on Benjamin.com.

For the most part, a 620 fico score is now required for FHA, VA and Conventional loans. If a borrower is trying to raise their score to this level, here are some pointers. It is very difficult to erase or change the old, bad, credit history unless it is false. Therefore, they need to focus and creating a positive credit history going forward. Ideally they should have 2 or 3 open, active, on-time lines of credit that report to the credit bureaus (cars, credit cards, student loans). The best and safest way to do this is by opening a secured credit card. You send the creditor money and then you can spend that money with the credit card (like a debit card except that they report to the 3 credit bureaus as a perfectly paid credit card). There are several “no credit check, automatic approval...

The big news right now is the first time homebuyer $8000 tax credit for purchases between January 1 and December 1, 2009. *One of the lesser known facts about this program is that buyers are allowed to get their $8000 credit without having to wait until next year’s tax return. The IRS is allowing buyers to file an amended 2008 tax return for the sole purpose of getting their $8000 this year (detailed in IR 2009-27). This is great news for the buyer who wants buy a home that needs some remodeling but is using all of their funds for their down payment. A great website for more information on the tax credit is www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com.

Standard and Poor's (S&P), a globally recognized credit rating agency, has increased the Town of Queen Creek's bond rating from "A-" to "A." In addition, S&P raised the Town's financial assessment from "standard" to "good." "Having S&P increase the Town's bond rating from an 'A-' to and 'A' is very good news for our community," said John Kross, Queen Creek Town Manager. "The higher rating means that the Town's overall rating increases slightly from its current 'A-' status. This rating adjustment is a strong indicator of the Town's overall financial health." The Town adopted a balanced budget for 2009 and has over $2.3 million in emergency funds set aside for this year to pay for any unseen events.

Real estate experts say more help needed Ed Taylor, Tribune February 18, 2009 - 5:44PM Many Valley real estate experts gave President Barack Obama high marks Wednesday for seriously attacking the foreclosure crisis in his speech at Dobson High School in Mesa. But many also questioned if it will be enough to reduce the number of foreclosures and stabilize the housing market. "It's a good start, but it's not enough money to help all those who need help," said Letha Martin, owner of Platinum Financial Resources, a Queen Creek-based real estate, mortgage and loan-modification company. She said $1 trillion in adjustable rate mortgages are scheduled to reset their interest rates in the next two years, and many of those homeowners will likely face foreclosures. "We're going to still see a huge...

Spending 800 BILLION dollars on everything everyone politician wanted to pass, for the last 20 years is so obscene, everyone in Washington the voted for this, should be fired and slapped in the face. Give me a break, a train from Disneyland to Las Vegas? What is that going to do? Give Mickey Mouse a chance to go gamble and get drunk?,,, Money to the Smithsonian. Like anyone from the west coast goes to this museum. How is that going to create jobs?? Now I want to rant and rave about waiving the balances of peoples mortgages.

Wow - what a year!  I wrote a market update last year in January 2008 for Queen Creek.  Touting foreclosures and what you need in order to purchase one. Here's a small portion of the how to: So, you may be asking, "How can I get one of those homes?"  Many of the lenders that own the homes are making it easy for you because they have hired Realtors to list the properties for them. Below are a few requirements and suggestions to make the buying process run smooth.  You must be ready to buy. If you have been pre-qualified by a lender to make a purchase you must ask your lender for an "LSR", Loan Status Report.  The LSR proves that you are ready to rock and roll and are serious about buying this property.  Many banks won't even look at your offer unless the LSR is attached. If you are offer...

People chatter about marketing to your intended customers base, but how often do they tell you how to identify such a group of people? A target market refers to a market segment at which your firm directs a marketing program. In essence people tend to be too broad in their definition of a “target market”. For example if the your company is to intrigue the large transportation market the first step is to identify the market segments (or subgroups) within the larger transportation market. Are you looking for air travelers or boat passengers or something else? If you are targeting customer to fill a cruise line then it is essential to aim for the transportation market that share similar wants, preferences and product use behaviors. Therefore you as the cruise ship marketing manager (or wha...
