Protecting Your Home On A Budget
The combination of a deep recession and widespread law-enforcement funding cuts will most likely spell a banner summer for burglars. If your house makes a good target – it’s upscale, off the beaten path, and in or near a city – an alarm system is your best defense, according to Temple University economics professor Simon Hakim, who studies security and policing. Installing one will reduce your risk of a break-in by two-thirds.
A top-shelf security system that includes a detector on every door and two on every window could set you back thousands. But unless you have Picassos hanging on your walls, it isn’t necessary, says Stan Martin, executive director of the Security Industry Alarm Coalition, a trade association dedicated to reducing false alarms.

Consider Notifying Your Insurance Company Prior To Remodeling
Owners who don’t make their insurance company aware of past or planned remodeling jobs may find themselves without proper coverage if a claim must be filed later.
You aren’t required to report past home-improvement projects that you have already completed – nor must you let the insurer know about plans that you have made for a future remodeling or expansion project – unless the policy specifically demands such notification.
From a financial standpoint, though, there are several reasons why it would be best to contact your insurance company to let it know about your project. (more…)

Homebuyer’s Credit Becomes Appealing For Many
The $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers can be claimed on 2008 or 2009 tax returns. Homebuyers who get a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration can use the money to cover closing costs and other fees, and at least 10 states offer ways to use the tax credit faster.
The tax credit, for home purchases made through end of November, comes with income thresholds, $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for joint filers. After those limits, the credit begins to phase out. If you bought a home this year and expect your 2008 income to be lower than next year’s, it makes sense to file for the credit this year using a 2008 amended return. (more…)
