Jean and Jude own a townhome that was purchased for $165,000 on 6/30/2007. Current property values in the area have not substantially recovered to their pre-2008 values. They believe that their current mortgage balance exceeds the townhome’s current market value by $30,000.

Their family has grown from 2 to 4 (twins, boy and girl) and as a result they need more living space. The children will be starting school within the next 6 months. They are not pleased with the quality of the current school system. They need more living space and want their children to attend school in a better school district. Jean and Jude have decided to look for a different home. They would like a detached single-family home with at least 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a 2-car garage and a ¼ acre back yard.

After interviewing several Realtors, Jean and Jude have selected you to find them a new home and discuss the options of either selling or renting their current home.

Jean and Jude have asked for you to provide the following. How would you respond?

Explain the three methods used to appraise the value of our townhouse and recommend the most appropriate method to use.
Explain and describe the information included on the TRID form and how it benefits the home buyer?
If we decide to rent out our home, we would like to exclude tenants that have a pet of any kind or for any purpose. What, if any, government regulations will impact this decision?
List the steps in the loan process used to qualify us for a mortgage and explain how our current mortgage balance may impact the qualification decision?
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of selling or renting our townhouse. Assume that we would have to take an early distribution from our individual 401Ks to make the down payment on a new home.
If we stopped making the monthly mortgage and escrow payments, what action(s) would the bank take?
Regarding our townhouse, which course of action would you recommend: selling the townhouse, renting the townhouse, or stopping the mortgage and escrow payments?
This assignment must include properly formatted APA-style citations.

Instructions
Assignment: Negative Sentences Turned Positive:

Please take the following ten negative sentences and rewrite them to make them much more positive.

The author stated that these are sentences you should never say to your children. I want the same message or a similar message said in a positive, encouraging way.

Some hints:
Perhaps you need to say what age group of child you would be addressing.
Are you conveying support for your child? Good! Are you giving veiled (passive aggressive) criticism? Don’t!
Are you making martyr statements (statements about “poor me” and “how hard I work” statements beginning with “I” and having complaints in them)? Many parenting textbooks like “I” sentences, but I find that they usually end up being angry complaints directed at the child. For this assignment, I would not use “I” statements.
Please do not use sarcasm. Sarcasm is always interpreted very negatively by children. The angry message we think we hide in clever or funny sarcasm shouts loud and clear to children and hurts them terribly.
No threats, even hidden threats!
Do not ever compare siblings. That produces resentment by children.
Sometimes a sentence is SO negative you cannot use it at all. Please substitute a positive, motivating sentence for any really bad, negative sentence.
________________________________________

Here are the Negative Sentences:

You are to compose and turn in the completely rewritten, positive versions of these. If you think the sentence is just terrible, you should change the content enough to make it a sentence that is positive and encouraging.

“Look at the dirty footprints you put on my clean kitchen floor. You never consider how hard I work.”
“You are the sloppiest person. Just look at your room!”
“If you don’t start doing your share around here, I’m going to cut your allowance.”
“Take the garbage out this minute and no back talk, young man.”
“Now, do you think that was a nice thing to say about your friend? You should learn to treat your friends the way you want to be treated.”
“Don’t step off the sidewalk. You’ll get hit by a car.”
“Why are you doing this to me, hard as I work?”
“Why can’t you try as hard in school as your sister does?”
“You knew you had to get up early, but you were so smart and stayed up until midnight.”
“If you continue in the same manner, you’ll never amount to anything.”

mens rea and should be acquitted.”

This is my summative paper in Criminal Law. It requires two fundamental things: that one takes a position in the argument, and that descriptive passages be avoided. Doing one or the other will incur in penalties.

I will be attaching the marking criteria, and several baseline resources that can be cited. I will be indicating ten sources in the section below. This is indicative. A range of 8-12 is perfectly acceptable.
