As one of the UK?s largest national financial brokers, the experts at MoneyMole are experienced in offering secure loans to homeowners of all different financial backgrounds. A member of the renowned financial agency explains how secured loans can appeal to a wide audience.

?With the threat of even more difficult economic times ahead, the thought of how to cover the never-ending costs of a new vehicle, family holiday or home improvements can seem daunting. Often referred to as ?fast loans? or ?quick loans?, secured loans can cover these costs and can be offered to individuals, families or businesses.?

The team at MoneyMole have listed some reasons why secured loans might be the right choice for anyone considering the option of extra financial help:

1.

Marabella Commercial Finance, Inc. originates permanent financing for two 1031 Net Leased Walgreen Pharmacies in the first and second Quarter of 2012 and receives conditional approval for third Walgreen property. Marabella is also hopeful to receive conditional commitment for a fourth Walgreen refinance in second quarter of 2012.

Marabella Commercial Finance, Inc. refinanced a Walgreen with a loan amount of $ 2,800,000 that had a Tenants In Common Entity. This was a difficult transaction due to the fact that most lenders do not favor TIC Entities at this time in the commercial real estate cycle. Marabella arranged a Quasi Portfolio / Institutional Non-Recourse loan with standard carve-outs, an amortization of 25 years and a fixed rate term of 10 years. The interest rate was locked for 10 years at approximately 6.13%. This transaction funded in January of 2012. The owner of the Walgreen property was located in Beverly Hills, CA and Marabella met the owner at our satellite office in Beverly Hills to assist with the structuring and processing of the loan.

Marabella Commercial Finance, Inc. funded a $ 4,353,000 loan for a Walgreen corporate leased pharmacy. The Buyer for this transaction was involved in a 1031 exchange transaction. The Borrower requested a long fixed rate loan term and amortization. Marabella Commercial Finance, Inc. arranged a CMBS loan with a 30 year amortization and a 10 year fixed rate. The rate was locked at 4.90% for the full 10 years. This loan was Non-Recourse with Standard Carve-Outs. This loan was applied for on around February 27, 2012 and funded on approximately April 16, 2012. Thus from the time the Borrower applied for the loan to the time the loan funded was a total of 48 days. Timing was very important to the Borrower since he was involved in a 1031 Exchange and the seller gave him a very short window for his Due Diligence / Financing Contingency period so exceeding this time frame could have jeopardized the Buyer / Borrower?s Good Faith Deposit that was given to the seller of the store. Marabella assisted in the processing of the loan which enabled the buyer to meet his 1031 exchange requirement and close in a smooth and stress free manner.

Marabella Commercial Finance, Inc. arranged an acquisition permanent loan of $ 4,500,000. This was also a CMBS loan and had similar loan terms to the previously mentioned CMBS Walgreen loan.

Conestoga Bank announced the latest step in its green initiative with the installation of a new solar array on the roof of its largest building, its Feasterville branch.

?This project is a direct result of our constant review of the areas companywide where we can lower our carbon footprint and save on energy costs,? said Lori Adamski, executive vice president and chief operating officer. Adamski encourages every business owner to do likewise. ?It simply makes good business sense.?

Adamski said she believes strongly that as a leader in local business Conestoga Bank has a responsibility to consider more than its own impact on the environment. ?We must also help raise awareness about the many ways?both large and small?a business can be more environmentally conscious. Investing in solar power is one of many steps Conestoga Bank has taken that demonstrates our commitment to going green.?

Conestoga Bank made the decision to incorporate solar energy into its Feasterville location while installing a new roof at the facility, which houses a bank branch and other bank operations. ?A flat roof with easy access and full sun exposure made this an ideal location for a solar array,? said Adamski.

In addition to being more environmentally friendly, the solar array will provide the company with significant cost savings over time. The array was designed to fit the available space on the building?s rooftop. In essence, 160 solar panels produce electricity by converting sunlight into energy. Therefore, the bank will need to purchase less power from the utility company in order to meet its energy needs at the Feasterville location. ?We expect to see a 15 to 20 percent drop in our electric bill,? said Adamski. Currently, the array produces enough electricity to power about six homes.

Among the impressive features of the solar array is the capability for Internet-based monitoring. Conestoga Bank team members who are authorized to access the monitoring dashboard online can observe the system?s up-to-the-minute performance. The bank can track the system?s efficiency, including those times the Feasterville facility produces more electricity than it consumes. During such times, the excess electricity flows back into the utility grid, to be stored on the grid for later use, at no additional cost.

The bank?s ongoing green initiative includes recycling paper, recycling print cartridges, motion-sensitive light controls in offices and meeting rooms, encouraging customers to use eStatements, and providing customers with internet and mobile banking and even the ability to deposit checks using smartphones?all saving trips to the bank.

VA Home Loan Centers, the trusted provider of VA loan services for active duty military, veterans and their families, announced today that effective April 17th, VA Home Loan Centers will implement fee increases for the processing of condominium ID submissions.

VA Home Loan Centers announced that as of April 17th, 2012, the fee charged for document collection, processing and approval of an individual VA condo ID submission will increase from $ 799.00 to $ 995.00. Although the service is not required, the approval is necessary to purchase or refinance any condo property not currently registered as eligible for the VA home loan guarantee.

The continued pace of economic recovery has sparked increased interest in federal home loan programs. A result of growing demand for VA loans is a marked uptick in the need for this particular service. In the last 24 months, VA HLC requests for new VA Home Loan applications have more than doubled. Concurrently, requests for VA HLC Expedited VA condo ID processing have experienced a substantial increase. Future demand is expected to grow at an even faster pace.

“Due to a variety of economic factors, the VA Home Loan Centers processing fee previously being charged is not adequate given the amount of resources currently allocated to this service,? according to Philip Georgiades, Chief Loan Steward of VA Home Loan Centers. “This change, while unfortunate, is necessary in our commitment to provide veterans exceptional customer service.”

VA Home Loan Centers remains committed to providing low and no cost assistance and representation to America?s military families.

Borrowers who apply for veterans home loans directly through VA Home Loan Centers are still eligible to receive a waiver of the processing fee in the event the condominium they wish to purchase does not currently have Veterans Administration approval. VA Home Loan Centers strongly urges all those exploring VA home loans for the purchase or refinancing of a condominium not currently approved by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to request a VA HLC waiver.

Michael Primus, a Contra Costa County [bankruptcy attorney since 1992, features free in-office consultations for those in need. Today he is highlighting the effect of Chapter 13 on mortgages.

?The Bankruptcy Code prohibits the reduction of a mortgage on a person’s residence but allows outright elimination of a second mortgage in many cases. Chapter 13 is a reorganization that can allow a person or couple to keep their home and remove a second mortgage or home equity line of credit,? attorney Michael Primus said.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires the homeowner to:

1. Document financial hardship

2. Show the value of the home is less than what is owed on the first mortgage

3. Complete a court-approved plan to pay a portion of their debts.

The exact amount to be paid through a court-approved plan is determined by several factors and requires the advice of a lawyer. Unlike a mortgage modification, Chapter 13 does not require the lender’s consent.

?We help people file for bankruptcy under the bankruptcy code and serve as a debt-relief agency,? Primus said. ?We also provide flexible payment options. Divorced? Unemployed? Overwhelmed? Determining if bankruptcy is right for you requires specific guidance from an attorney because each situation is different. Come in for a free consultation to discuss your situation.?

VA Loan Experts from Security America Mortgage in Houston, Texas recently joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Houston, Texas at the “Hire Our Heroes” event in the effort to help thousands of Veterans find their ideal transitional career or part time job. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce urged employers in April to join the campaign sponsored by a “Partnership to Aid Hiring Our Heroes Expansion to 400 Hiring Fairs for Veterans and Military Spouses in Coming Year” (RecruitMiltary, 2012).

Security America Mortgage, Inc., NMLS 355253, stood out as the only VA loan specific mortgage company who specializes in providing veterans and active military personnel with the best home purchasing resources available. Nearby experts from Workforce agencies commented that “companies like Security America Mortgage, who hire Veterans to become VA Home Loan Experts are not only furthering the opportunity to help military members find a job, but they are reaching out their hands to help those same members find a home that would meet any true heroes’ needs” (Workforce, 2012). If the U.S. had to pick any company out of a crowd who could make the VA Loan Process much easier, it would be the VA Home Loan Experts from Security America Mortgage, Inc.

Among the 89 other companies who attended the exciting career fair, Security America Mortgage was notably the only VA Mortgage company in Houston, Texas who made it their priority to recruit the very same people that their company regard as their most valuable client to come and work with them, side by side. “Connecting with Veterans on a personal level is just as important as us helping them find and finance a home. Our team of VA loan experts are endless in providing great compassion and care back to the same heroes who risked (or risk) their lives for us.” (Garrett Puckett, CEO of Security America Mortgage, Inc. & Security American Realty, Inc.).

Likewise, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce confirmed partnerships that are made for success, ?RecruitMilitary has been a tremendous partner since we launched Hiring Our Heroes a year ago, and we?re thrilled to have this relationship grow even stronger going forward,? said Lt. Col. Kevin Schmiegel (Ret.), founder and executive director of the U.S. Chamber?s Hiring Our Heroes program. ?To make a difference in the staggering unemployment rates facing the veterans community, we need organizations like ours to work together. I have no doubt that Hiring Our Heroes and RecruitMilitary can demonstrate to employers that hiring a veteran isn?t just the right thing to do, it?s the smart thing to do? (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 2012).

Global demand for Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) continues to remain clouded given the depressed business climate amidst the mounting debt crisis in Europe and slow economic recovery in North America. Growth in the PVC market is primarily driven by the construction industry which accounts for close to three-fourths of the resin demand. Near term growth is expected to remain anemic as the industry struggles to emerge from problems of protracted recovery in the construction sector, price volatility, and destabilization in supply-and-demand balances. After witnessing a tumultuous period of demand contraction in 2008 and 2009, owing to the financial crisis, and de-stocking that prevailed across the value chain, the PVC market witnessed an upsurge in demand, albeit at a sluggish pace in 2010. In 2011 PVC demand remained stagnant at 2010 levels, with no significant growth recorded in the end-use markets. Growth in the near term is expected to remain weak, undermined by the less dynamic pace in construction industry across the developed countries. Amid the slowdown, the market continues to undergo a phase of continued destocking as a result of high inventory levels, primarily in Europe.

As stated by the new market research report on Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), developing countries in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East hold the best prospects for PVC in the long term. India is expected to witness a steady increase in demand stimulated by the growth in infrastructure and packaging sectors. Latin America is another region which holds bright opportunities for PVC. Higher growth rates are also anticipated in the Middle East with contribution from the oil industry. While Asia continues to remain the bright spot for growth in the PVC market, demand in China, the largest market for PVC, currently stands challenged amid the contraction in housing market as a result of government initiatives to temper the overheated economy in construction and housing sector. In order to soften the aggressive expansion in property market, the Chinese government introduced several measures such as non-issuance of loans for buyers of third home, hike in minimum mortgage rate and tightening of down payment conditions for second-home buyers. In Japan, with the nation currently focused on reconstruction activity, major share of PVC production is being diverted towards domestic consumption rather than exports. In Europe, outlook for PVC remains grim owing to the delayed turnaround in key end-use markets. Besides dull domestic demand, European producers face another problem of restricted export opportunities owing to low feedstock costs and increased capacity additions in emerging markets. Against the backdrop, operating rates in the region has dropped significantly, some by even 60%-70%, thereby affecting manufacturer profitability across the value chain.

With substitute products such as steel and concrete pipe gaining foothold, PVC manufacturers face stiff competition in addition to downward pressure on prices. In some cases these substitutes offer more durability and convenience as compared to PVC. Growing environmental concerns are also leading to a decline in the use of PVC resin, a trend further exacerbated during the economic slowdown.

Restructuring in the PVC industry is set to continue over the short term as players seek economies of scale through strategies such as mergers and integrated production. Major players profiled in the report include Arkema, Chemplast Sanmar Limited, Chemson Group, Ercros SA, Aiscondel, Formosa Plastics Corporation, Formosa Plastics Corp., INEOS Group Ltd, Georgia Gulf Corp, LG Chem, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Occidental Chemical Corporation, OxyVinyls, PolyOne Corporation, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Solvay, SolVin, Vestolit GmbH & Co. KG, Vinnolit GmbH & Co. KG, among others.

The report provides market estimates and projections (in ?000 MT) for global and regional markets including the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, China, Rest of Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Rest of World.
