Get Your Garage Under Control in 5 Steps

by Sandi Pressley

Is the garage in your Albuquerque home starting to get out of control again? Or maybe it's always been a mess? Whether you plan to sell your home in Albuquerque soon, or you just need a bit more order in you life, organizing your garage can have many benefits.

Here are 5 easy steps to get the job done quickly and painlessly so you can enjoy your garage once again.

1. Plan of Attack

Don't enter alone. And use the buddy system, if for no other reason than you may get overwhelmed and lost in your own sea of debris. Friends, family, and the kids can all lend a hand to get the job done quicker and to help keep you on track. It's easy to get distracted rooting through the objects of your past.

The first goal of any garage organization is to create more floor space, so that's where you should begin as well. Get all the knick-knacks, the holiday decorations, and any other indoor-related storage out of there and into the attic. This area is for outdoor items only. Always keep this objective in mind: it will help you decide what stays and what goes.

2. Divide and Conquer

Give each helper a section to cover. This should help the garage organization run smoother. And don't be clingy. If you haven't used something in over a year, or if you forgot it even existed, it's time to say goodbye. Give your stuff to charities, thrift stores, or maybe even make a trip to the dump. Or, better yet, make a separate pile for a future garage sale, allowing you to reap all the awards of your excavation. (However, don't procrastinate on this chore either. It's easy to say you'll have a garage sale and not follow through so as to keep putting off the inevitable.) Then, divide up the remaining possessions into categories, such as sports items, seasonal décor, gardening tools, car maintenance, etc., to help with the next step.

3. Get Vertical

Once everything is cleaned and categorized, now it's time to rearrange. The best way to store your things is to make use of your vertical space.

  • Get a pegboard for your tools.
  • Put up some shelves for boxes.
  • Heavy-duty hooks are great for shovels and rakes.
  • Buy a magnetic strip for stray metal items, such as steel rulers or chisels.
  • If you have bikes, skis, or ladders, put them overhead in the rafters (or if you have a drywall ceiling, once again, heavy-duty hooks are great for hanging these heavy-duty items).

4. Compartmentalize

Once you have as much as you can off the floor, it's now time to find additional storage. The easiest answer to this dilemma is a garage organizer.

  • A multiple tier shelving unit is great for storing paint or varnishes.
  • A cabinetry system for miscellaneous items is always handy.
  • Maybe buy several Rubbermaid baskets to hang on the wall to help separate the recycling.
  • Buy a crank to roll up that hose.
  • Use garbage ties or bungee cords to keep your extension cords in line.
  • Whatever the need, investing in some form of garage organizer helps to maintain the floor space you've just created.

5. Don't forget the little things

If you save glass baby-food jars, clear film canisters, or milk cartons (to be cut in half), you'll now be able to store smaller items, such as nails, screws, or tacks. If these small containers aren't see through, they can also be easily labeled with masking tape. Another alternative garage organizer is an inexpensive tackle box to help contain the confusion. But what if it's your bigger items that are getting in the way? What if it's the necessary tools, such as snow blowers, lawn mowers, or edgers creating the clutter? Then consider building an extra shed in the backyard or a lean-to against the outside of the garage in order to produce additional square footage.

Don’t Let It Happen Again

The main thing to keep in mind is never let it get to this point again. If you take these steps, you should be able to keep up with your garage organization in the future. This is not to say that you won't have some occasional maintenance, as in some sweeping, scrubbing, or washing. But by simply taking the time to arrange the space, at least you'll no longer dread entering into it.

by Sandi Pressley

If you're thinking about buying a home in Albuquerque, you've made a wise choice. Albuquerque offers a diverse range of attractions, making it an appealing place to call home. The city boasts a favorable climate, rich history, vibrant arts scene, and a thriving culture. Its beautiful architecture adds to its charm. However, there are additional compelling reasons to consider buying a home in Albuquerque. Let's explore these further.

Affordable Real Estate

Homes for sale in Albuquerque definitely give you far more bang for the buck compared to other markets. 

Stable Job Market

Albuquerque benefits from a stable level of employment, largely due to the presence of state and federal level jobs. Sandia Laboratories, a high paying employer, contributes significantly to the job market. Additionally, the healthcare and education fields offer ample employment opportunities in the area.

Livability

Albuquerque boasts a walk score of 43 and a transit score of 30, both of which surpass the average for cities in New Mexico. It is renowned for its bike-friendly environment and offers numerous bike trails in the scenic Sandia Hills. The city provides a wide range of outdoor recreational activities, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts. Remarkably, despite its natural beauty, Albuquerque remains relatively free from tourist crowds.

More Renters

The presence of a large military population in this area ensures a steady supply of potential renters for your investment home. Given that those serving in the military are more inclined to rent rather than buy, you can expect a consistent flow of cash from monthly rental payments. With the average rent being around $1300, your investment is likely to yield a favorable return.

Living History

Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico, has a rich and diverse history. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Pueblo people. In 1706, a Spanish colonial outpost was established in the area, which eventually grew into the city we know today.

Albuquerque played a significant role in the development of the American Southwest, serving as a trading center and transportation hub along the historic Route 66. The city has also been influenced by its proximity to Native American and Hispanic cultures, which are still celebrated today through various festivals and events. Albuquerque is known for its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, making it a fascinating destination for visitors and a vibrant community for its residents.

What is a Title Search?

by Sandi Pressley

Buying a home in Albuquerque is an exciting yet potentially overwhelming experience. The process involves numerous steps that lead to the closing.

One of those steps is called a title search.

It is important to note that when purchasing a home, it is not always guaranteed that the seller has full entitlement to sell the property. There may be instances where another individual or entity has a claim or lien on the property in question. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct thorough due diligence and seek professional assistance to ensure a clear title before proceeding with the purchase.

That’s where a property title search is relevant.

What Happens During a Title Search?

When purchasing a home, conducting a title search is crucial. This process involves reviewing public property records to verify the legal ownership of the property. Additionally, a title search uncovers any existing liens or claims that may impact your ability to purchase the property.

A property title is distinct from a deed and is not a document. It represents ownership rights. A title company or attorney can conduct a property title search to ensure no other party can claim ownership. If you are obtaining financing, a title search is mandatory before the loan is funded.

Who Does a Title Search?

When purchasing a home, the responsibility of conducting a title search falls either on a title loan company or an attorney, depending on the location. After the contract is signed, the buyer's attorney may order the title search and either complete it themselves or delegate the task to a title company. The completed report is then sent to the seller's representative, who is responsible for handling any issues that may arise.

There are a lot of sources of information that might be accessed during a title search, including:

  • County land records
  • Deeds
  • Property plats
  • Tax liens at the state and federal level
  • Divorce records
  • Bankruptcy court records
  • Construction liens
  • Judgments

When a title search is done, it will also uncover details about mortgages associated with the property.

How Long Does it Take?

The duration of a title search can vary from a few hours to a few weeks. Generally, the older the home you are interested in purchasing, the longer the title search will take. This is due to the potential involvement of multiple owners and transactions related to the property.

What If There Are Issues?

Some of the common issues that can come up during a title search include:

  • A break of chain in the title: In this scenario, there might be a missing deed in the chain. This is common in older homes.
  • An improper description on the deed: There might be an improper or missing description on a deed, and that would require obtaining a corrected deed.
  • Missing interests: If there’s a transfer via an estate in a title chain, then any heirs must have relinquished their interest in the property. If they haven’t, then you have to get deeds from the parties with an interest to release it.
  • Liens: This is a legal claim or right on a property often used as a way to get repayment for a debt. Title searches can show if there’s a lien on a property and whether or not it might be expired or could be something requiring payment.

A title search is a crucial step in the home buying process. It is important to understand what happens during a title search and the potential results. To gain clarity, it is recommended to consult with your Realtor or attorney. Failing to uncover issues like judgments or liens before closing on a home can lead to costly and stressful situations down the line. If you purchase a home with a judgment against it, you may become responsible for resolving the issue.

How to Avoid Having a Nightmare Neighbor

by Sandi Pressley

The Nightmare Neighbor. It sounds like a bad B-rated movie plot. The Nightmare Neighbor is notorious for complaining about the slightest inconveniences, such as leaving garbage cans out for a few extra minutes after trash pickup, a legally parked car outside his house, or even a dog sniffing his lawn. It is best to avoid any interaction with him.

“Neighbors matter: more than three-quarters of Americans say neighbors factor into their decision when choosing a new home,” said mortgage company Ally. Their new survey asked more than 2,000 Americans about their favorite, and least favorite, qualities in a neighbor. “More than half of Americans report having had what they'd classify as a ‘nightmare neighbor’ in the past,” and 67% of the respondents said that “prior unhappy neighbor experiences make them realize the importance of good neighbors.” 

When searching for a new home in Albuquerque, there are three key steps to help determine who your neighbors truly are.

Ask

When inquiring about your possible future neighbors, sellers may not provide a direct response unless legally required to disclose any issues. Their main priority is to make the sale, so they may not inform you if they have a negative opinion about a neighbor. It's important to remember that their experiences with neighbors may not necessarily reflect your own.

Your real estate agent has a duty to you and may be able to gather information from the seller's agent. Additionally, consider asking other neighbors for information. If you see someone outside, take the opportunity to introduce yourself.

Spy

It is highly recommended to make multiple visits at different times of the day and on different days when purchasing a house. One brief visit is insufficient to fully understand what it is like to live in the neighborhood.

To make an informed decision, you should get out of the car and explore different routes on foot. By walking around the neighborhood at different times of the day, you can gather valuable information that will help you make the best choice. 

Research

Before you move, it is important to prioritize safety by checking for sexual offenders in the area using a site like Family Watchdog. Additionally, conducting a reverse address search on a platform like Spokeo can provide valuable information about specific houses in the neighborhood. With just a few clicks, you can uncover details such as names, police activity, or court records associated with the address.

To gather information about the people in the neighborhoods you're interested in, try accessing the Nextdoor community site or local Facebook pages. These platforms can provide valuable insights.

In the end, there's no way to know 100% if your new neighbors in Albuquerque will be an issue or not. But by following these steps, you can reduce the risk of having the nighmare neighbor.

How Does an Escrow Work?

by Sandi Pressley

When buying a home in Albuquerque, the term "escrow" will come up frequently. Escrow is a legal arrangement where a third party holds money or property until certain conditions are met. In real estate transactions, escrows provide protection for both buyers and sellers.

An escrow account is established as part of your mortgage terms to hold funds for homeowner's insurance and taxes. Additionally, escrow accounts can be used to safeguard a good faith deposit, ensuring that the funds are allocated correctly based on the sale conditions. In this blog, we will focus on the escrow account used throughout the duration of your loan.

Escrow Accounts When You Borrow Money

When you borrow money to buy a home, whether from a bank or direct mortgage lender, you will be given an escrow account. This account serves as a place for the lender to deposit a portion of your monthly mortgage payment that will cover insurance premiums and taxes. The purpose of the escrow account is to ensure that you do not fall behind on your obligations to your insurance provider or the government by collecting a part of those costs every month.

How It Works

When obtaining a mortgage loan, lenders typically mandate the establishment of an escrow account. This account serves to mitigate risk and ensure timely payment of annual homeowner's insurance premiums and property taxes. Although these expenses are paid on an annual basis, the lender requires a monthly fraction to be paid, with the remaining balance accumulating in the escrow account.

Having unpaid insurance or taxes can result in liens during foreclosure, making it more difficult for lenders to recoup the initial loan. As a result, lenders have a vested interest in ensuring that borrowers stay current on these non-mortgage homeownership expenses.

As the borrower, there are downsides to this arrangement. Your lender typically mandates a minimum balance in the escrow account to safeguard against potential cost hikes. Most lenders require you to maintain at least two months' worth of expenses in the mortgage escrow account.

When it comes to managing your insurance premiums and taxes, there's a convenient option available. Instead of making separate payments, you can choose to pay a portion of these expenses each month. This amount, along with your principal and interest payments, is collected and held in an escrow account. At the end of the year, the money in the escrow account is used to pay your premiums and taxes.

Escrow payments can be adjusted based on the surplus or shortage in the account for the year's payment. The mortgage holder is required to send an annual statement regarding the escrow account, which may also be referred to as a mortgage impound account.

Mortgage insurance premiums are required for borrowers who make less than a 20% down payment. These premiums are held in the escrow account along with other payments.

The escrow agent must provide a settlement statement before closing. This statement will detail all final closing costs, as well as fees associated with the home loan, including prepaid and escrow funds.

Escrow accounts do not cover HOA fees or supplemental tax bills. HOA fees and supplemental tax bills are separate expenses that homeowners are responsible for. Supplemental tax bills can be issued due to new construction or a change in ownership, and the amount cannot be predicted by the lender.
