About Asbestos...
.
Asbestos causes cancer.  Home building products manufactured today generally do not contain asbestos, however, this was not true prior to the mid 1970s.  Many older houses contain asbestos on heating system hot water and steam pipes and on boilers.  Asbestos, often in the form of a white tape was also regularly used to seal seams on furnace ducts that may be exposed but can also be hidden in wall cavities and was also used in the manufacture of floor tile and in exterior siding materials, two products that remain in and on many homes today.
.
It’s also important to know if old asbestos was recently removed from the house or removed when the house was remodeled because previously damaged material and/or improper removal by a homeowner or other non-professional can cause release dangerous fibers into the air where it can settle as dust on floors, walls, ceiling, furniture, etc. and easily be reintroduced into the air by normal air movement and even when cleaning including dusting and vacuuming and asbestos fibers can remain in a home for many, many years after it was thought to be removed!  
.
Touching or breathing invisible asbestos fibers in the air can lead to the cancer Mesothelioma. For your family’s safety and good health Lifespace Corporation includes an asbestos survey in every home inspection.

Veterans - Use Your VA Mortgage Loan Benefit Again 

If you’re a veteran who has already taken advantage of a VA home loan through the Department of Veterans Affairs, you already know what a wonderful choice participating in the program can be.  From low interest rates to reduced credit requirements and even a zero-down payment option, a VA loan can be a good alternative to more restrictive loan programs and can often be the best, or even only, way many veterans can own a home.  

However, one aspect of home mortgage loans that many people are not aware of is the ability to use your VA benefits TWICE by restoring a previous entitlement and purchasing another home with another VA loan.  

If you’re a veteran who has used a VA loan in the past to purchase a home, you may qualify for restoration of entitlement if: 

The property you purchased with a VA loan has been sold and the loan has been paid in full.
                                              - or -
You’re selling your property to another veteran and he or she agrees to assume the VA loan, basically substituting his or her entitlement for yours.  

Veterans are also able to obtain more money from their entitlement if they purchased a home with a
VA home mortgage loan years ago when the entitlement value was lower.  If the loan has since been paid in full, the veteran is eligible to receive the full entitlement again or, if the loan is not paid off, he or she can receive the difference between the current entitlement and the entitlement that’s already been used to purchase a home.  

Veterans who are affected by restoration of entitlement should be aware that restoration can only take place once (meaning that the entitlement can be used a total of two times).  Check with your lender or with the Department of Veterans Affairs if you’re considering utilizing your restoration of entitlement to ensure that you do in fact qualify for restoration and to get the exact dollar figure of your new entitlement. For general information on entitlements or on VA home loans, please visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website at  www.va.gov
