Americas Watchdog Expands Its Investigation Of Toxic Chinese Drywall In All of Texas

Americas Watchdog & its Homeowners Consumer Center are expanding their investigation of toxic Chinese drywall used in Houston, Austin & all of Texas. The group has discovered the product was not only used in new home construction, but in storm or hurricane repair work. As has been discovered in New Orleans, only a small amount of toxic Chinese drywall may be enough to corrode copper, and other metals, and put at risk the health of those who live in the homes. If you live in Texas and suspect you have imported toxic Chinese drywall in your new or remodeled home, please call the Homeowners Consumer Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com

(PRWEB) April 30, 2009 — Americas Watchdog is expanding its investigation of toxic Chinese drywall in Houston, Austin to now include Dallas, San Antonio, and areas of Texas affected by hurricane damage. The group is discovering that the imported toxic Chinese drywall was used in much larger numbers than previously believed. According to the group, "toxic Chinese drywall is corrosive enough to degrade copper, and other metals, it makes those who live in these homes sick, we believe in just Florida alone it is in over 150,000 homes, and the Obama Administrations Consumer Product Safety Commission has yet to recall this product? This is an insult to every US citizen." The group is calling imported toxic Chinese drywall, "the worst environmental disaster in US history, it has affected more homes than Hurricane Katrina, and the US Federal Government has yet to show up to assist hundreds of thousands of at risk US homeowners & their families." The group is now also adding the Western Provinces of Canada to its locations, where they believe toxic Chinese drywall was used. Homeowners who think they might have toxic Chinese drywall in their homes can call Americas Watchdog’s Homeowners Consumer Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com

What are the symptoms of toxic Chinese drywall a homeowner should be looking for?

Most Importantly Health & Toxic Chinese Drywall:
There have been no formal health studies on the affects of exposure to toxic Chinese dry wall. However, some common denominators appear to present, as follow: nose bleeds, headaches, coughs, upper respiratory or sinus issues, rashes. In many cases victims have gone to a physician or a emergency room only to be told, "We can’t tell what is wrong with you."

The Homeowners Consumer Center believes that exposure to toxic Chinese drywall, and some of these medical symptoms are related, because homeowners in new homes in different parts of the country, different states, all share two things in common — the fact that Chinese drywall is in their house and they have these medical conditions. In many cases not everyone in the family will share the same symptoms. In some cases, the adults are fine, but the children are sick, or in other cases, the adults are sick and the kids are not. In many cases all of the homes occupants are sick. If you live in a home & suspect toxic Chinese drywall is present you can call the Homeowners Consumer Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.com.

* Family pets may have died from exposure in US homes with Chinese toxic drywall

Note with respect to health & exposure to toxic Chinese drywall one the Homeowners Consumer Center has heard repeatedly is, "I am in the house with the suspected Chinese drywall & I feel sick, or my family members are sick. We leave the home for a few days, or a week, & we all feel better."

Other Indicators of Toxic Chinese Drywall in a New US Home, Town Home or Condominium:
* Homeowners, building owners, or occupants in most cases will have seen continuous failures of their air conditioning coils, or HVAC units beyond anything normal. Homeowners who suspect they might have the toxic Chinese drywall in their home should check the cooper coils on their air conditioning units. If the AC copper coils have turned black, or a grayish black they should contact the Homeowners Consumer Center at 866-714-6466.
* Homeowners, building owners, or occupants may have noticed corroded, or black electrical wiring in their walls in properties built or remodeled since 2001. Many homeowners who have the toxic Chinese drywall in their home might have copper ground wires in the electrical receptacles that have turned black. Homeowners who suspect their home may have the Chinese drywall can remove electrical receptacle plates to see if the cooper ground wire has turned black. If a homeowner in any state sees this, they should call the Homeowners Consumer Center immediately at 866-714-6466.
* Oven, or stove elements, or refrigerator coils may have failed in the homes, or condominiums a number of times. The homeowners Consumer Center has also discovered that computer, microwave information display panels may have failed in homes, where the toxic Chinese drywall is present.
* Light bulbs in homes with toxic Chinese drywall may burn out at a much faster rate than specified by the manufacturer.
* High end silver jewelry, or silver plated utensils may be tarnished

Important note: Homes with toxic Chinese drywall may, or may not have a rotten egg/sulphur smell. In some cases a homeowners eyes may burn. Other homeowners have described acid type smells, or again no smell at all.

What US States have had positive confirmations of toxic Chinese drywall in their homes? Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, The Carolina’s, Louisiana, Nevada, California, Arizona, Missouri, and a growing list of other states. Americas Watchdog is now adding Canada as another country where toxic Chinese drywall has been used.

If a homeowner lives in a home that was built or remodeled in any US state or the Western Provinces of Canada built or remodeled after 2001, who have these symptoms, they should contact the Homeowners Consumer Center at 866-714-6466 or contact the group via their web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com

Americas Watchdog’s Homeowners Consumer Center is all about Homeowner protection & corporate responsibility.

Redlands Mesa Golf Community Remains a Smart Buy in Grand Junction, Colorado

The trifecta of premier homesites, a world-class golf course, and its location in one of the most stable economies in the state of Colorado put Redlands Mesa Golf Community on the map for investors looking for a smart buy in 2009.

Grand Junction, CO (Vocus) April 30, 2009 — Grand Junction continues to receive awards for its steady, stable economy and its ability to weather the current economic storm. The most recent accolade comes from Forbes’ magazine which lists the city of Grand Junction as #24 in the nation on their Best Small Places for Business and Careers List. The ranking takes into account various factors including cost of doing business, educational attainment and projected job growth; all hallmarks of a healthy economy. This award, combined with Redlands Mesa’s own long list of achievements including another recognition by Travel and Leisure as recently as February 2009 as one of America’s Top 100 Golf Communities, serves as a compass for investors looking to purchase quality real estate in a value market.

“Real estate purchases are being closed every day. Savvy investors are doing their homework and positioning themselves today for their future tomorrow. If an active adult golf lifestyle is a factor in the purchase, people are realizing that Redlands Mesa is the only true golf community that offers quality homesites and a championship 18-hole golf course in a location that offers both beauty and stability,” said A.J. Morris, Managing Real Estate Broker for Redlands Mesa Golf Community.

Travel and Leisure concurs that Redlands Mesa Golf Community is a safe bet: “Poor, nasty and brutish are fitting adjectives for our current world economy. Meaning that, if you can make it happen, owning the most desirable and best-managed real estate on earth offers reassurance.”

Redlands Mesa Golf Community is comprised of 12 distinct neighborhoods that take advantage of the surrounding natural beauty of the Grand Mesa and Colorado National Monument as well as accommodate the golf enthusiast’s needs. To sweeten the deal, BrightStar is now offering buyers a one year free golf course membership with the purchase of a Brightstar homesite at list price. Custom and semi-custom options are available that permit building flexibility. Site tours are available daily or by appointment.

About Redlands Mesa Golf Course Community:
Redlands Mesa is a premier golf course community located on the perimeter of Grand Junction, in Western Colorado. It has received many accolades; most recently, for the third year in a row, it has been named by Travel & Leisure magazine as one of the “Top 100″ golf communities in the nation.

WayToShortSale.com Publishes New Short Sale Guide; Over 80% of Attempted Short Sales Fail Due to Improper Execution

A veteran mortgage and finance expert has published a guide to help troubled homeowners avoid foreclosure. Over 80% of attempted real estate short sales fail due to improper execution. The WayToShortSale.com guide shows how to successfully navigate a short sale, and includes real examples of letters and forms. Salvage credit, avoid foreclosure.

Valrico, FL (PRWEB) April 29, 2009 — S3 LLC, a Florida-based consultancy, has announced the launch of its new guide to real estate short sales for consumers, available for immediate purchase and download in PDF format at its new web site, www.WayToShortSale.com. The author of the guide is Yuri Plotnikov, S3 LLC’s founder and a decades long veteran of the real estate mortgage industry who has successfully navigated a real estate short sale himself, as well has helping numerous clients through the process.

Priced at $14.95, the Guide is a mere fraction of the cost of other competing products, is more complete and more accurate than anything the firm has seen to date, and is the only known guide aimed at homeowners as opposed to real estate industry professionals. Because Mr. Plotnikov has first hand, successful experience, this is a practical hands-on Guide with real world examples.

"Over 80% of short sale attempts fail due to improper execution," said Yuri Plotnikov. "The process is extremely complex, the timing of every step is very critical, and more than 90% of licensed REALTORS® have never successfully executed a short sale. Not to be disrespectful, but most real estate agents just simply don’t have the experience. The information that the average homeowner gets is incomplete at best, and very confusing. Plus, there are several vital steps a homeowner should be taking to protect their assets and credit viability going forward, which are outside of the scope of the real estate transaction itself. In other words, vital steps that a real estate agent probably wouldn’t explore with the homeowner."

The WayToShortSale.com Guide covers all of these topics and more, and includes several sample forms and letters to guide the homeowner through the process. Whenever possible, the samples are provided in editable Microsoft Word format, so that they can be used as a starting point and edited by the homeowner to fit their specific needs. "There are a few other information packets being sold online, but they cost hundreds of dollars or more, are geared towards industry professionals, and the information actually has huge gaping holes. We were frustrated with what was available, and decided to write the definitive Guide for the average homeowner, and sell it for a reasonable cost," said Mr. Plotnikov.

According to CNN, 1 in 5 mortgages are currently "upside down" and nearly 8.3 million homeowners are seriously delinquent in their mortgages. A real estate short sale is a method of last resort, but is preferable to foreclosure for both the homeowner and the bank. "Make no mistake, a short sale should be the last step before foreclosure. It will impact your credit. But if you can’t modify your mortgage or otherwise find a way to make the payments, it beats a foreclosure or bankruptcy," said Mr. Plotnikov. Whereas a foreclosure will stay on your credit report for up to 7 years, and a bankruptcy for 10 years, a short sale can be off your credit history in as little as 2 years, while protecting the rest of your assets if executed properly. With foreclosure pending, a short sale is preferable for the mortgage lender as well because it’s less expensive than repossessing the property and then having to pay realtor fees and other expenses during the sale process, while ultimately resulting in a sale of the same amount that a short sale would have garnered anyway. A short sale not only helps the homeowner and the lender, but is seen as one of the last means of correcting the U.S. housing crisis by clearing the inventory of lender-owned properties – the so called "REO" inventory.

About S3 LLC: S3 LLC is a consultancy located in Valrico, FL. S3 focuses on helping troubled homeowners navigate real estate short sales. S3 was founded by Yuri Plotnikov, a mortgage industry veteran with more than a decade of experience, and hands-on experience navigating his own real estate short sale.

Bay Creek Earns No. 8 Spot on GolfCourseHome’s 2009 "Best of the Best" Golf Communities

Bay Creek Resort & Club has been ranked number eight out of the top ten on GolfCourseHome.net’s 2009 "Best of the Best" Golf Communities. The list considers all major rankings and accolades of golf courses featured in major media in order to establish a ranking system where golf and golf living are the overall top priority.

Cape Charles, VA (PRWEB) — GolfCourseHome.net and Golf Course Home® Network have announced their Second Annual "Best of the Best" golf community rankings. The "rankings season" runs from October to March and covers a range of categories, including Best New Course, Best Residential Course, Top 100 and more. The GolfCourseHome’s "Best of the Best" ranking system is based, not on field researchers or raters, but on the compilation of all major media rankings of golf courses and golf communities for the year. This year, Bay Creek Resort & Club earned the number eight spot with five major magazine awards.

This award is the latest of many accolades earned by the Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Courses, which have been named in the Top 100 Residential Courses by the Wall Street Journal as well as "Best Places to Play" by Golf Digest in 2008-2009.

Bay Creek marks the first time both Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer designed courses for the same club, and the golf legends did not disappoint. The two 18-hole Signature Courses combine the extraordinary views and natural features of the Eastern Shore, with historical landmarks from Cape Charles’ 19th and early 20th century railroad days, all into one incredible, state-of-the-art golf facility. The courses have been designed with tee placements that will challenge the low-handicapper while creating an enjoyable golfing experience for players of all levels.
