If
you are not a homeowner but are considering a self employed mortgage,
times are tough and you have to be ready for some hard work and
persistence. The UK housing market is stumbling and lenders are
uneasy about taking risks – so to get a self employed mortgage you
need to be as financially sound as possible.

Things
are not rosy for the potential UK first-time buyers: it was recently
revealed that at the start of 2008, only 14% of non-homeowners were
considering investing in their first property but by March just a
third of this group were planning to proceed with their purchase**.

This
means in the second quarter of 2008, two-thirds of first time buyers
had put their property search on hold. Why is this? Well, the credit
crunch has meant that lenders are much less keen on lending to
first-time buyers – especially first-time buyers looking to take
out a self
cert mortgage from a website.
Self employed means no fixed income, which means more risk for the
lender of the mortgage.

And
if there are options out there for first-time buyers, they are going
to be more expensive. Even when times were good for the self employed
mortgage market, a lender would need a higher down payment and would
tend towards a higher rate if they were to give someone a non status
loan. Now all mortgages, regardless of income status are demanding
higher rates and bigger loan to value amount. So a self employed
mortgage for a first-time buyer is not a cheap option anymore.

But
that doesn’t mean they are out of reach – many self employed
people would be able to comfortably manage to get onto the housing
ladder with a bit of planning, sensible forecasting and some good
advice. But the first step is to get all your finances in order -
self employed mortgage lenders will demand to see several years of
accounts and a clean credit history if they are going to be willing
to lend to you. So have everything at hand and have all other
financial responsibilities in order. Also, get online and check your
credit history – it is vital in the self employed mortgage lenders’
decision-making process, so be one step ahead before you start to
shop for your loan.

Things
are tight right now, self employed mortgage lenders are less keen to
lend - but they have not closed their doors completely. Talk to an
adviser and see what is still on offer for you if you are looking to
take out a self employed mortgage. It isn’t going to be cheap, but
going for a non status deal may be your only option – but with
their flexibility and numerous financial advantages a self employed
mortgage could actually be your best option.

It can be so hard finding an income to support you through your retirement. A pension is the obvious option but many people have not paid enough in or just have a small government one to rely on. You may have some savings but they are unlikely to last very long. You may have a rental property but with the current economic situation you may find that it is difficult to find tenants. You may have stocks and shares but the market is not doing that well and dividends are unlikely to be very high. Even if you have a direct investment in a business, you may find that things are looking a bit bleak. You may be desperate for some extra money. If you own your own home, you coudl consider equity release and it should be able to let you have enough cash to keep you going until your other investments start to pay out again.

Imagine a Japanese bedroom. It would be amazing if you could have such a well designed room. Something with a lovely black futon with pure white sheets. A large embroidered screen to get changed behind and some Katana Swords on the wall. Pale lamps by the bed and an intricately patterned wardrobe and chest of drawers. Dimly lit by the lamps and some candles imagine their flicker on the wall as you walk into your dream bedroom all restful and relaxing with soft pillows on the comfortable bed to help you to sleep. Lie down on the bed and watch the gentle candle light as you look around the lovely room. See the fans hanging from the wall and the lovely bamboo plants at the end of the bed. Heavenly.

Now more than ever, people are worried about debt and finding it more difficult to pay it off and many are even considering chapter 13 bankruptcy. The website ‘Paying Paul’ can help to put you in touch with someone that can help. They have an online form that you fill in and they will then match you with a company who can help you by providing debt management and a debt consolidation service. It is very simple and could save you going into personal bankruptcy. This has got to be good news as these types of bankruptcy make life very difficult and will not really help to solve your problems. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a better type for most people but it is almost impossible to achieve and so debt management would be a much easier option and should hopefully help to teach you how to keep in better control of your finances in the future.

Technology blogs are dime a dozen. There are just so many technology web sites in the blogosphere. That means you, as a consumer, will be prone to information overload. Everyday, thousands and thousands of technology related news, blog posts, reviews, etc. are posted on the web. But as you can observe for yourself, too much information may not be a good thing. Most content just gets ignored because after all, who has time to read content from a thousand and one websites?

As time goes by, readers become more and more discerning, and they are more careful about the blogs that they pick to read. This is completely natural because by narrowing the amount of ground they cover, they effectively cut out all the clutter. This is certainly good news for bloggers who put out quality content on a consistent basis. As readers become pickier about the news sources that they follow, only the best blogs can survive the test of time.

So what is quality content?

Quality content is certainly not about words. Sometimes, bloggers choose to outsource the writing to other writers. This is all good provided the writers hand in quality articles. But the problem is, when writing is outsourced, most writers are paid based on the number of words they write. So they keep focusing on the number of words and forget all about the most important goal, which is to come up with really good stuff.

Words alone do not make great content. Words used appropriately to express good ideas and other pieces of useful information make great content. And this requires skill. Fortunately, the best technology blogs already know this. Gadget Advisor is a great example of a quality blog. Let’s take a sneak peek at the qualities of an outstanding blog.

Comprehensive information.

A high quality blog should have comprehensive information. For instance, to ensure that Gadget Advisor covers all angles, it has a total of five categories: gadgets, tech news, computer hardware, computer software, and featured articles.

Specific information.

But comprehensive information that is too general is not good enough. Quality content means having specific information, and Gadget Advisor easily beats the competition in the technology gadget niche. A quick visit to this blog will reveal that each blog post is written by someone with first hand experience with the gadget. Advanced and unique features are given special mention. And you can expect to see lists of specifications included in the blog posts.

For example, you can find blog reviews on specific products such as the MSI X85 Motherboard, Foxconn X58 Renaissance Motherboard, and more. Technology news includes the latest software and hardware trends such as GPU accelerated computing.

What makes Gadget Advisor so special is that all the gadgets reviewed are hand picked. This is a powerful strategy for building a blog because this means the bloggers who write the content can take more time to write in depth articles. In addition, it doesn’t take long for a reader to realize that the articles are edited and properly formatted, which makes the overall reading experience more enjoyable.

Downloadable applications.

Most technology blogs offer just text content. This is fine as long as the content is useful in some way or the other to the reader. Gadget Advisor actually went one step further and allows readers to download useful applications. Under the computer software category, you can actually find downloadable Firefox extensions. These are available for free. There are no strings attached and you can share these extensions freely. The only condition is that you must not host the extensions and offer them on your own sites. Considering the fact that these extensions are free, readers are more than happy to comply with this little rule.

On the surface, it looks as if anyone can start a quality technology blog. But in reality, not many can offer great content and killer applications all in the same place. If you ever come across a technology like the Gadget Advisor, you will be doing yourself a great favor by bookmarking the site. For sure, you will be treated to some great content again and again in the days to come.
