<p>The mold to your success and fortune are in your hands.</p>
<p>You cannot do everything, but you can do something.</p>
<p>You choose your thoughts and actions.  Nobody can do it for you.  Nobody will do it for you.  You have to make things happen.</p>
<p>If you take responsibility for your actions, you can achieve anything.</p>
<p>HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You need a plan to find success.  Wanting success isn&#8217;t sufficient enough to get it.  You&#8217;ve got to ask yourself, &#8220;What am I going to do or give up, to get the things I want?&#8221;</p>
<p>You must bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.</p>
<p>You cannot fail with a definite step by step plan, because each step you take will carry you along to the next step, like a track.</p>
<p>All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.</p>
<p>You cannot get lost on a straight road.</p>
<p>Have an Awesome Day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People often handle life as they do bad weather.  They while away the time waiting for it to stop.</p>
<p>Opportunity knocks all the time, but you&#8217;ve got to be ready for it.  When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.</p>
<p>The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, for time and chance happen to everyone.</p>
<p>Take a second look at what appears to be someone&#8217;s &#8220;good luck.&#8221;  You&#8217;ll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re prepared for opportunity, your chance for success is sure to come.  The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.</p>
<p>Have an Awesome day!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The place to begin to improve the world is in your own heart, head and hands.  To get along with others, love them without forcing your love upon them.</p>
<p>Imposing your beliefs on people will not bring you peace.  Have concern for others, respect their rights and freedoms, and let them be themselves.</p>
<p>Do this and you will enjoy peace.  Having consideration for others is the basis of a good life.  Most people are not against you, they are merely for themselves.</p>
<p>Let differing ideas clash, but not those of the heart.  Peace comes to you when you live and act in a spirit of love.</p>
<p>Have an Awesome Day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Foolish people are always getting ready to live, but they never really live.</p>
<p>Success will start when you begin to pursue it.  To reach a goal or to attain success, you don&#8217;t need to know all the answers in advance.</p>
<p>You just need to have a clear idea of what that goal is.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t procrastinate when faced with difficult problems  Break problems into small parts, and handle one part at a time.</p>
<p>Develop tendencies toward taking action.  Divide your big plan into small steps and take that first step right away.</p>
<p>Everyone got where they are by beginning where they were.  Where are you right now?</p>
<p>A journey of a thousand miles begins with that first step.</p>
<p>Take it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Effective Immediately!! </p>
<p>Here are the Highlights of the new programs for First Time Home Buyers in Texas:</p>
<ul>
<li>$10,000 for down payment and/or closing costs assistance for the acquisition of a SINGLE FAMILY HOME, TOWNHOME, AND CONDOMINIUMS ONLY</li>
<li>This is an INTEREST FREE LOAN with a 5 or 10 year loan term</li>
<li>First payment will be deferred for 5 years from closing date</li>
<li>Borrowers must be a first time home buyer (could not have owned a home in the past 36 months)</li>
<li>Minimum credit score of 640</li>
<li>Borrower(s) cannot have total family income over $55,280 (varies by county)</li>
<li>Borrower(s) liquid assets in the bank (excluding retirement and or 401(k) accounts) cannot exceed $15,000</li>
<li>Value of home purchased may not exceed $271,050</li>
<li>Requires borrower(s) to attend first time home buyer counseling class</li>
<li>CAN BE COMBINED WITH THE SPECIAL FEDERAL TAX CREDIT FOR FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS</li>
</ul>
<p>To recap.  If you have at least a 640 credit score and can provide income documentation at or below the maximum income allowance, then you could get a $10,000 interest free loan to apply towards your downpayment and closing costs for your first home.</p>
<p>Remember, a first time home buyer is someone who has not owned a home in the past 36 months only.  If you owned a home 37 months ago, then you would still qualify. </p>
<p>We also have a special federal tax credit in addition to the $10,000 program that will allow you to reduce your federal tax liability up to $2,000 per year as long as you are in the home paying interest on your home loan.  Great program as well.</p>
<p>Give our office a call at 214-710-1258 right now to see if you qualify.  We look forward to making your dream home a reality!</p>
