Dave Giddens, a local Albuquerque Bankruptcy attorney - Last year, the number of bankruptcy filings in our state numbered 4,330, a 10 percent drop from the previous year when they numbered 4,810, according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal.* So why the drop in bankruptcies when our economy hasn't fully recovered?

Buying a new Albuquerque home? DON'T DO THIS!

If you are ready to buy an Albuquerque home, do not do these things while applying for and before closing on the loan. These are things that sometimes you wouldn't think about, and if you loan officer hasn't reminded you of these a hundred times over, you could delay your closing or completely mess up your loan process. Remember, it's much harder to get through the lending process now because of new regulations. It used to be as easy as getting a credit card, but not anymore! Be sure that you understand the whole enchilada!

"I can't sell my favorite mural!"

Have you ever prepared your home for sale, and then been sad that the favorite mural or painted wall would have to be left behind? You can take it with you! Take some great photos of the painted area, and then have them printed onto canvas. Many frame/photo stores have this service, and you can then take the art with you to the next home. Same for old marks on the wall to measure your childrens' height, or special events that have been memorialized by crayons. Photo it, canvas it, and frame it like new! Happy home selling!
