There was a time when Veterans Administration loans were so time consuming to obtain that lenders did not want to process them and homes sellers were likely to reject buyers planning to finance with V.A. loans. Thanks to changes in the system, it has become easier to take advantage of the V.A. loan benefits.
V.A. loans are offered through the Veterans Administration, a U.S. Government organization that provides benefits and services to eligible veterans, active duty, reservists and National Guard Members along with their families. While the V.A. does encourage lenders to offer these loans by guaranteeing to repay a significant percentage of any loan that goes into default, V.A. loans are actually made by private lenders, not by the Veterans Administration itself.

Yet few paths from contract to closing are without an obstacle or two.
Good real estate agents are attuned to red flags that come up, but consumers should also be aware of potential problems and how to avoid many bumps in the road.

When times are tough, women who can't afford a new dress often purchase a new accessory or lipstick to recharge their wardrobes. Known as the "lipstick effect," the tendency applies to homeowners too.
Barry Culkin, CEO of Questech Corp., a tile manufacturer in Rutland, Vt., noticed sales of his $5 cast stone and marble switch plate covers rose whenever the economy faltered. Last year, sales of their covers at major retailers were up 20 percent.
As homeowners rein in spending, more opt for small indulgences. Whether the goal is a new look for a kitchen or simply an injection of color, here's a list of some of the best ways to give a space a quick uplift.
"I am seeing quite a bit of Yankee ingenuity in my customers. They are getting pretty smart about using and repurposing items to add some zip to their living spaces," says Shirley Walsh, owner of Kalembar Dune, a vintage home decor shop in Boston.

CYGNET - The employees of Wayne Homes raised over $2,000 to help the victims of the tornado on June 5.
The Bowling Green staff hosted the July 9 "Raffle for Relief" at the model center on Dixie Highway.
Tom Sear, sales manager, said the Uniontown corporate office raised over $1,000. "But since the Bowling Green office is closest to where the tornado hit, we felt we needed to host a public event."
The money that was raised by Wayne Homes is going to a scholarship fund and to the Red Cross to benefit the victims of the tornado.
