Feeling Itchy?  It’s poison Ivy time!

Poison Ivy                                       Poison sumac                 Poison oak     

These plants contain an oily substance called URUSHIOL that causes a red, bumpy rash in many people.

If you think you have come into contact with one of these plants, wash with soap and water  as quickly as possible.  If you do this, you may stop a reaction.  If it is longer than that, the oil has already penetrated the skin and washing it will no longer prevent the rash, but it may help reduce the severity.

Treatment  Options:

1. OTC  cortisone cream 2-3 times a day
2. Anti-itch lotion such as calamine lotion
3. OTC antihistamine such as Benadryl or Zyrtec
4. Take an oatmeal bath

But see the doctor if the over the counter products don’t work, blisters are oozing, or if you develop a fever of over  100° F

IvyBlock (ivyblock.com) is the only FDA approved OTC barrier cream.  Use like a sunscreen.

The key to preventing that rash is knowing  what these plants look like and the avoid them!

Some Thoughts on Wealth Building

Ian Spolding, a self-made millionaire, said something fascinating in the conversation about wealth building that we would like to share with you:

“It’s not about addition or subtraction.  It’s about multiplication.  My entire philosophy around money has been this: Once I get money I look for ways to multiply, not just to be added to.  The bigger the multiplier, the better it is.”  It’s all about opportunity to multiply wealth.

Need evidence?  Look no further than Warren Buffet.   He has put billions of personal savings (outside of Berkshire Hathaway funds) into the stock market in the last few weeks.  He stated:  “A simple rule dictates my buying:

BE FEARFUL WHEN OTHERS ARE GREEDY, AND BE GREEDY WHEN OTHERS ARE FEARFUL.”  In our markets, fear is everywhere.

“Let me be clear on one point” I can’t predict the short-term movements of the stock market.  I haven’t the faintest idea as to whether stocks will be higher or lower a month – or a year – from now.   What is likely, however, is that the market will move higher, perhaps substantially so, well before either sentiment or the economy turns up.  So if you wait for the robins, spring will be over,” says Mr. Buffet regarding multiplying wealth.

We often hear questions and statements like:  “Are we at the bottom of the real estate market yet?” or “When is a good time to buy?” or “I am waiting for the market to go down more!”  or “The economy is doing so badly that we will be jobless and homeless soon!”

Think about it again!!!  BE FEARFUL WHEN OTHERS ARE GREEDY, AND BE GREEDY WHEN OTHERS ARE FEARFUL!

When is a good time to buy???   NOW!!!   The opportunities are here and the money is available to borrow!!!  What are you waiting for?

ARE YOU IN A BOAT OR ARE YOU MISSING IT?

G R E A T    N E W S!

The Town of Babylon announced that it will give middle-income families a $15,000 down payment match toward the purchase of their first home!

• Buyers must earn between 81-120% ($77,701-$116,500 for a family of four) of the area’s median income to qualify for the program.
• The home must be purchased in the Town of Babylon.
• The $15,000 will come from a revolving fund that uses money from the town’s affordable housing trust fund.
• This program is unique because while most HUD-funded programs only provide housing assistance to families earning 80% or less of the area’s median income, this program is available to those earning between 81-120% of the area’s median income.
• Buyers must:
  1. Be HUD-defined first-time home buyers.
  2. Occupy purchased home as a principal residence.
  3. Not be in contract to purchase before the start of the program (March 2).
  4. Contribute $15,000 toward the down payment.
  5. Buy a home in Babylon town for up to $396,150.
  6. Participate in the Long Island Green Homes Program, which updates homes’ energy efficiency, within six months of purchase.
  7. Attend a one-time mortgage counseling session with the Long Island Housing Partnership.
