Help! An unmarked Vehicle with Flashing Light is trying to pull me over......

Notice!
An
urban legendhas circulated since 2002 claiming that motorists can dial #77 or *77 to reach the police, or to determine if the unmarked police car behind them is a real "Officer of the Law" or .... etc. As you can see from the map at http://www.911dispatch.com/911/mobilenumbers.html , #77/*77 is NOT the universal number for the police. Law enforcement recommends you either dial 911 or determine your state's local highway emergency or special circumstance number.

So, if you encounter an unmarked vehicle with flahing lights trying to pull you over, call 911 or your local Highway Notification Number (see below) to determine if it is an officer of the law, before you pull over. 


http://www.911dispatch.com/911/mobilenumbers.html Highway Notification Numbers Original source: Missouri Highway Patrol, Dispatch Magazine on-line Updated 9/12/2008

Although 911 has been designated as the "official" number for reporting emergencies in the United States, manyother numbers have been implemented for reporting highway situations: accidents, intoxicated drivers (DUIs), or disabled vehicles. In most cases, dialing these special numbers routes the call to the agency with jurisdiction over the state highways or Interstates, rather than to the local law enforcement agency.

This map does not depict which states allow 911 dialing from wireless phones to report an emergency. Instead, this map show other telephone numbers established by the states to reach a state-level law enforcement agency to report highway situations, some of which could be considered "urgent."

 Highway Notification Numbers

Confusingly, calls to these numbers may also be routed to the same agency that handles emergencies for the highway, resulting in their use by motorists for actual emergencies.

Take Kansas: they have 911 service that reaches local or county agencies, but the Kansas Highway Patrol advertises three numbers: 911, *HP (to reach the Highway Patrol directly) and *KTA (to reach the Highway Patrol for turnpike-related matters).

And continuing the confusion, if you're traveling adjacent to a state boundary such as Virginia, Maryland and DC, dialing one of these special numbers could connect you with... well, who knows which state or agency you'd hear on the phone? That's the disadvantage of non-standard numbers, and of wireless phones whose signal can go in all directions.

This map was originally developed by the Missouri Highway Patrol, and has been periodically updated by DISPATCH Magazine On-Line. Let us know of any errors or changes.

Some of the alternate uses for the above numbers include:

  • The Iowa State Patrol Web site for a list of mobile emergency numbers.
  • Nextel has a list of # and * associated numbers for highway assistance.
  • We have a report that Colorado also has the number *CSP for reaching the State Patrol from wireless phones.
  • In Kansas, motorists can dial *KTA while on the turnpike.
  • In Illinois, the number *999 number is operated jointly by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority and the state's DOT, and is intended for "emergencies," which the Authority defines generally as being "stranded" on the tollway.
  • On the Indiana toll-road, *11 reaches the state police
  • In Louisiana, *24 reaches the Coast Guard
  • Dialing *555 in Prince George's and Montgomery County (Md.) reaches the Park Police
  • Dialing *11 reaches Emergency Operations for the Pennsylvania Turnpike
  • Dialing *ISP in Idaho is intended to report DUI drivers.

Additional Tax Incentives - Tax Credits for 2010

You may be able to benefit from additional housing related provisions, including the following:

------------------------

Tax Incentives to Spur Energy Savings and Green Jobs

This provision is designed to help promote energy-efficient investments in homes by extending and expanding tax credits through 2010 for purchases such as new furnaces, energy-efficient windows and doors, or insulation.

Landmark Energy Savings

This provision provides $5 Billion for energy efficient improvements for more than one million modest-income homes through weatherization. According to some estimates, this can help modest-income families save an average of $350 a year on heating and air conditioning bills.

Repairing Public Housing and Making Key Energy Efficiency Retrofits To HUD-Assisted Housing

This provision provides a total of $6.3 Billion for increasing energy efficiency in federally supported housing programs. Specifically, it establishes a new program to upgrade HUD-sponsored low-income housing (for elderly, disabled, and Section 8) to increase energy efficiency, including new insulation, windows, and frames.

Expanding Housing Assistance

This provision increases support for several critical housing programs. It includes $2 Billion for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program to help communities purchase and rehabilitate foreclosed, vacant properties.

President signed - Tax Credit extension - 1st time homebuyer & NOT 1st Time homebuyer...

Homebuyer Tax Credit Update!

On November 6, 2009, President Obama signed a bill to extend the tax credit for first-time homebuyers (FTHBs) through June 30, 2010. The bill also opens up opportunities for others who are not buying a home for the first time.

Tax Credit for Homebuyers

First-Time Homebuyers (FTHBs): First-time homebuyers (that is, people who have not owned a home within the last three years) may be eligible for the tax credit. The credit for FTHBs is 10% of the purchase price of the home, with a maximum available credit of $8,000.

Single taxpayers and married couples filing a joint return may qualify for the full tax credit amount.

Current Owners: The tax credit program now gives those who already own a residence some additional reasons to move to a new home. This incentive comes in the form of a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified purchasers who have owned and occupied a primary residence for a period of five consecutive years during the last eight years.

Single taxpayers and married couples filing a joint return may qualify for the full tax credit amount.

What are the New Deadlines?

In order to qualify for the credit, all contracts need to be in effect no later than April 30, 2010 and close no later than June 30, 2010.

Tax Credit Versus Tax Deduction

It's important to remember that the tax credit is just that... a tax credit. The benefit of a tax credit is that it's a dollar-for-dollar tax reduction, rather than a reduction in a tax liability that would only save you $1,000 to $1,500 when all was said and done. So, if a first-time homebuyer were to owe $8,000 in income taxes and would qualify for a tax credit of $8,000, she would owe nothing.

Better still, the tax credit is refundable, which means the homebuyer can receive a check for the credit if he or she has little income tax liability. For example, if a first-time homebuyer is eligible for a tax credit of $8,000 but is liable for $4,000 in income tax, she can still receive a check for the remaining $4,000!

Higher Income Caps

The amount of income someone can earn and qualify for the full amount of the credit has been increased.

Single tax filers who earn up to $125,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this cap can receive a partial credit. However, single filers who earn $145,000 and above are ineligible

Joint filers who earn up to  $225,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this cap can receive a partial credit. However, joint filers who earn $245,000 and above are ineligible.

Maximum Purchase Price

Qualifying buyers may purchase a property with a maximum sale price of $800,000.

UPDATE -House Approved, Senate May Pass Homebuyer Tax Credit Extension Today

NOTICE: Today, November 6th, President Obama signed the Extension, expanded the Eligibilty requirements, Income limits and included NON first time Homebuyers up to $800,000.

--------------

House Approved on Tuesday Nov 3rd and Senate May Pass Homebuyer Tax Credit Extension Today  (Update2)

It appears the  House and the Senate may approve the extension of the tax credit today.  They must have a home under contract by April 30th and it must close by June 30th.  It remained at $8000 for first time home buyers.  They also included a $6,500 tax credit for non first time home buyers.  

It is a $45 billion plan to expand a tax credit for first- time homebuyers, extend jobless benefits and provide tax refunds to money-losing companies.

The Senate voted 97-1 to end debate on the measure and clear the way for final approval. The Senate is likely to pass the legislation and send it to the House, where Democratic leaders predicted it would be quickly forwarded to President Barack Obama to be signed into law.

I'll keep you posted.

Just announced! Senate Panel Compromises on Tax Credit and Expands Eligibility, Income Limits

Just announced! 

Oct. 29--A Senate committee reached a compromise to extend the $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers, a boost the housing industry expects will help it pull out of its two-year-old downturn.

  • The compromise measure expands the tax credit to non first-time buyers and also raises income ceilings, while also extending the deadline to to April 30, 2010.
  • Under the new proposal, people who have lived in a primary residence for five consecutive years would be eligible for a $6,500 credit when purchasing a new property.
  • Incomes limits will be raised to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for couples, vs. $75,000 and $150,000 previously.
  • The maximum house value rises to $800,000.

There are a lot of details not yet released.  However, it is my understanding that:

  • Home buyers would not have to repay the credit, provided the home remains their principal residence for at least 36 months.
  • The amendment includes a military waiver provision, meaning the recapture provision would not apply in the case of a member of the Armed Forces, military intelligence or Foreign Service who is on qualified official extended duty. In addition, members of the military who have been deployed overseas for 90 days or more in 2008 or 2009 would have until April 30, 2011, to claim the home buyer tax credit.
  • The amendment also includes anti-fraud language that provides math authority to the IRS to do greater oversight during the processing of the return rather than waiting for an audit situation. The amendment requires the taxpayer claiming the credit to be 18 or older as well as requiring a HUD-1 settlement statement to be attached when claiming the credit.

FHA Rate Updates for: Oct. 21, 2009

Many banks have tightened up standards on their mortgage loans in the current lending enviorment.   Many Homebuyers are being turned away becasue their Bank does not offer FHA financing options.

FHA  is a great way to go if the borrower is putting down less than 20%, even if the borrower has an excellent credit score.   Today, many banks are not offering conventional loans with private mortgage insurance for borrowers under 740 with less than 20% available for the down payment.  This makes FHA Insured loans loans the only alternative for a homebuyer to obtain financing.

An FHA loan can be obtained with a credit score as low as 640.  Many banks are not lending borrowers with a credit score under 680 and some even require a 740 credit score, certainly for the best terms.  FHA offers great rates with reduced monthly mortgage insurance, more liberal debt to income allowance, only a 3.50% down payment requirement and up to a 6.0% seller contribution toward your buyers closing costs.

House Extends Tax Credit for 1-more Year ..........

House Extends Tax Credit to Active Military for One More Year

Yesterday the House of Representatives unanimously voted to extend the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit to active military personnel, foreign service and intelligence officers.  HR 3590 extends the existing tax credit to this group until November 30th, 2010.  The bill now goes to the Senate, and is expected to pass with the same ease.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) because it was thought that military personel serving oversees this year did not have the same opportunity to take advantage of the tax credit.  If the original qualifications are met, the extension applies to military personnel who spent at least 90 days of the current calendar year oversees.  It also does not require borrowers to payback the tax credit if they are deployed after receiving it.  The current tax credit requires borrowers payback the tax credit if they do not occupy the home within three years of receiving the tax credit.

No word yet on whether the $8,000 tax credit will be extended for all eligible borrowers.

    Wedding Ceremony - 18th Tee box - Avondale Golf Club, Hayden Lake, ID 

    As the ceremony ended each Groomsmen, all dressed in Black Tux, took turns Teeing off over the Waterfall and Pond of 18.  There was alot of cheering going on, however I couldn't tell if the all made it over the water.  It sounded like the Groom did!  What a fun idea.

    During the ceremony this young deer strolled over to the creek on 11 to have a drink.  It wasn't in the least bit bothered by the Wedding Ceremony going on less than 100 feet away.

    Yes, someone in Idaho / Washington IS doing Land Loans...

    For all of you that have been looking for someone to do loans on your vacant land listings and even your parcels OVER 10 acres...

    I found an Lender that is doing Land Loans right now. (must have water)  Land loans at decent rates and loan to value.  They are also doing properties OVER 10 acres.

    Northwest Farm Services - Rhonda Baglien 509.340.5622 - or  - 800.473.8998 - rhonda.baglien@farm-credit.com

    I also found a few others but they don't do OVER 10 acres and want 30-35% down.

    Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2009- Another wild ride in the Great Northwest!

    Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene - 2009

    More than 2,000 athletes participated in the 7th Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene.  They hit the water Sunday morning, June 21, 2009, It may be summer but the weather didn't know it.  The race started with temperatures in the 40s and wind picked up speed as the swimmers slogged through 2.4 miles of choppy water. 

    For Ironman athletes to receive an official time, they have to complete both the swim and bike leg of the race before those courses close. Athletes have until midnight to cross the finish line.

    Friday, before the race, a couple of gal friends and I biked a 20 mile portion of the race.  It was a cool and wet drizzle of a day but a gorgeous ride!    Our 20 mile trec was about all our untrained bods could handle.  It certainly gave us a whole new respect for what these athletes do.

    Here are a few photos of the Bike Route, Ironman Tent City and set-up.
