Hurricane Season is in mid-swing in Florida. Are you prepared? Financially that is!

Hurricane Season is in mid-swing in Florida.  People took advantage of the tax-free weekends to stock up on their rations like bottles of water, vital medicines and cans of tuna, buying batteries by the case and trying to meet the Hurricane VIP – the neighborhood roofer!  All the while they are forgetting to have ready CASH in an emergency – cash that could come from a Home Equity Line of Credit (aka HELOC).

The HELOC is a life preserver when there is a sea of people out there all clamoring to get their home repairs done.   Having ready access to cash is essential to quick repairs.  Many contractors will be very busy and turn away business if they have to offer financing.

When a homeowner does not have cash available, we see the all-too-familiar blue tarps for months until finances catch up to repair costs…

…and when there are major repairs to do, it may be hard to get financing!   A lender may not write a loan on a property in need of hurricane repairs

Celebration Florida is an all-American town, and flag football is a popular American past-time.

According to Wikipedia, "Flag football is a version of American football that is popular across the United States. The basic rules of the game are similar to those of the professional game, but instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier ("deflagging") to end a down. In most organized play, players wear a belt with flags around the waist, but the number of flags varies from league to league. Like touch football, flag football was designed in an effort to minimize injuries that playing tackle football could bring. Over the years, however, contact leagues have emerged, where offensive and defensive players can block in certain zones or downfield, adding to the myriad styles of the game."
