Share With Your Neighbors

Who's not interested in saving money? As the new year begins, renters should make the most of their neighbors. Why not engage in money saving meetings with people in your building? Splitting bills can be easy, if you only talk about it. One way to save some money in an apartment building that share a single meter, would be to work together to bring down the cost of electricity according to CNN.com. You can start by unplugging unused chargers and appliances and turning off lights. Internet is another area you can save money. An Internet connection costs between $30-$50 a month and by sharing a wifi connection, you can reduce your cost by a lot. Some even go to Internet coffee shops where most have free Internet connections. How about working out? Maybe you can have an instructor come down to your building for yoga classes 2-3 a week and split the costs with your neighbors. We're all trying to save some money, if you're moving to a new building make sure to call the Oklahoma City movers to help you get there. Our Oklahoma City moving experts are backed by four generations of moving experience, so for a good move, call us today.

Beware of Buying From a Divorced Couple

A divorce is never easy and a marriage break-up can be tense. When a couple gets divorced and they're trying to sell their home, its buyer, agent and everyone else beware according to MSN.com. In the United States there are approximately one million divorces a year. Most of the time there's a house that needs to be sold. Because of the divorce, these ex-couples are very motivated to sell and willing to accept below market offers. Sometimes, buyers are not even aware that there's a problem until the last minute. Many times, one spouse is very anxious to sell and the other is trying to break the deal either through revenge or unwillingness to sell. Other times, one spouse purposely delays the signing just to aggravate the other. Buyers find themselves in an agreement with one spouse and disagreement with the other. It's never an easy transaction to buy from a divorcing couple, but sometimes the deal does go smoothly and the deal can be a good one. If you're buying a house from a divorcing couple, make sure to call the Oklahoma movers to help you move.

Keep Your Landlord in Check

As a tenant, make sure to keep your landlord in check. Sometimes, the landlord/tenant relationship is a rocky one. The Oklahoma City movers, your local Oklahoma City moving company, suggests the following to keep your landlord in check. Renters, shouldn't live in a place that barely passes code, they should live comfortably for the duration of the lease. Make sure that you live in a habitable property that is well repaired and maintained. This is in your lease agreement and you should live in a safe place. Use the free resources that cities and states make available to you. Get to know them and use them. If you want to avoid any confrontations when it comes to the increase of the rent, try and work early with your landlord on an agreement that will suit both of you. Tenants don't have much say when it comes to these increases, so plan ahead and avoid any surprises. If you're trying to get back at your landlord, don't do it by withholding the rent money. This little trick will simply backfire on you. If you're moving, make sure to call the Oklahoma City moving specialists. Our Oklahoma City moving company is licensed and insured and will give you the best moving experience. Call us today!

Old House, Might Be Trouble

Are you in the market for a house? There are many great deals in today's market. What's important to note, is that more than 30 million homes, which is roughly one-third of the houses in the United States, are 50 years or older. It's recommended to have these houses checked thoroughly for things like: old or leaking oil tanks, radon, lead paint, mold, lead in the water and asbestos. The older the house, the more charming, but it also means the more problems it may have according to MSN.com. All of these issues not only will cost you money but more importantly can have major negative impacts on your health. Not all of these older homes may have these problems, but it's always better to make a good inspection before you make a bid. The money it will cost you for the inspection will be worth it in the long run. When you're ready to make that purchase, make sure to call the local Oklahoma City movers to help you move.
