Like to introduce you to one of the owners of Bari Beef headquartered in Elgin Illinois. Nick Favia is one of the owners of Bari Beef, the best Italian Beef in the country. I have sent Italian Beef from Bari Beef to my CEO Mike Kortas and President Mat Grella multi times and they love it. CEO KORTAS would have fired my ass if I sent shifty Beef. I sent Bari Beef to all our senior advisors at NEXA MORTGAGE and they all love it. I want to thank everyone at Corporate NEXA Mortgage especially Taylor Bradley, Aes, Kristi Wake, Rana Mortensen, Mat Grella, Miriam Montojo, Mrs. Edna Kortas, Mike Neill, and the the ultimate CEO Mike Kortas for everything they do for me and my team. Like to thank Counselor Wendy Lahn ESQ and Mr. Nick Favia for the great Bari Beef 👍.

Population numbers in cities with high property taxes are decreasing. The populations of cities with high property taxes are dropping rapidly, as scores of homeowners are shifting to other cities where property taxes are lower. This is a key issue which needs to be recognized because it shows us important facts about our communities and housing markets. This phenomenon is happening in different parts of the United States too. Here’s an overview:
Tax Migration: The movement from high-tax areas to low-tax ones is often referred to as “tax migration” or “tax flight.”
Property Taxes: High property taxes act as one major driver for this trend; however, they usually come within the context of a wider high-tax environment encompassing income and sales tax.
Major Examples:
New York has had many people leave them recently due their state’s high taxation policy; Illinois (especially Chicago) has seen similar numbers go away over time because theirs are just too expensive; California also experiences significant outflows annually from those who can no longer afford living there.
On the other hand, states such as Florida or Texas which do not levy individual income taxes at all attract lots newcomers looking seek refuge away From these burdens; Tennessee falls into this category too
Scope: Each year tens-of-thousands leave large metropolitan regions alone – much less smaller ones like Buffalo NY or Cleveland OH – altogether accounting for millions across America each decade!
Implications For Cities: There could be urban decline if people keep leaving cities with higher taxes. City governments may earn less money and struggle with budgets.
Remote Work: With COVID-19 forcing companies into allowing employees work remotely full-time, more working individuals have been given an opportunity never before possible – move without switching jobs!
Cost Of Living Among Other Factors: Taxes definitely drive some moves but things such as cost living differences job availability climates etc also make up part or all motivation behind migration patterns
Political Representation & More: Political power will shift when enough people move out; economies will change too origin places get new businesses destination areas see theirs decline; housing markets could crash in former hotspots while booming elsewhere…
Policy Solutions: Some higher taxed areas are considering implementing new policies that will help them keep residents from leaving. They may reduce taxes or provide other incentives.
Complexity: Causes and effects of this trend can be complex and vary by region, but it is happening!
This shift in where people live is changing who represents them and how their cities are run. It could alter housing markets forever as well… There may be long-term implications for political representation, local economies, and housing markets in origination & destination cities alike.. That being said take into account each specific situation because what’s true here might not hold water elsewhere

Americans are perplexed when they hear the mainstream media network and politicians announce the economy is doing great and we just had a soft landing. Joe Biden and his cronies such as Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, Joe Scarborough, Jim Cramer, Chuck Todd, and other Democrats and far left liberals say What Inflation? The Economy is doing GREAT. Look at the stock market how high it is under the Biden Administration. We just had a soft landing. Look at the unemployment numbers and how low it is. All of these clowns are just big fat liars. You don’t need fake economic data and numbers. Unemployment numbers is not 3%. Inflation numbers is not 3%. Go to your nearest grocery store and look at the cost of groceries. Go get your cat repaired and see how much it costs. Go to McDonald’s and see how much a burger, fries, and soda is ($25 dollars easy). How much does it cost to feed a family of four? How much does it cost to care for your dog or dogs? How much does it cost to buy a car? Whether you like it or not, Americans need to face reality and face the facts they are being lied to by Joe Biden and the far left liberals. The dollar is not backed by any hard assets. The Federal Reserve Board is a money printing machine controlled by the Deep State, The Rothschild Family, George Soros, and the Globalists. How can career politicians like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and hundreds of politicians become multimillionaires without a real job or family inheritance. Impossible. Politicians and the deep state are stealing, lying, and printing money. They are not playing by the rules. Americans need to wake up and speak up. Americans need to voice their opinions and concerns. There’s no way we should have a commander in Chief of the United States of America who has stage six of dementia and has the nuclear code. Dementia Lying Cheating Joe Biden is a major liability for our country and is infested with corruption. We need to clean house. Expect a major stock market crash in the coming days, weeks, months. Expect a major real estate crash in the coming short term. The stock market and housing markets will plummet 50% to 90% or more. Expect a financial crisis worse than the 2008 real estate and financial meltdown. We should be ready for this correction so in two to three years we will have everything fixed under the leadership of President Donald Trump. The Federal Reserve Board will be destroyed and we will have a new monetary system backed by silver and Gold. We need to get Dementia Joe Biden and his cronies out of the White House and stop power hunger Jill Biden running the Executive Branch.

What does DEFUNDING the POLICE exactly mean? Why is Kamala Harris such a huge proponent and supporter of DEFUNDING THE POLICE. Why did Kamala Harris aggressively support the DEFUNDING THE POLICE movement after the George Floyd killing by Minneapolis POLICE. Why was Kamala Harris the biggest supporter of DEFUNDING THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT by Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti proposed of cutting the Los Angeles Police DEPARTMENT budget by $150 million dollars and Kamala Harris, at the time the United States Senator from California was Eric Garcetti’s biggest supporter. We don’t need a Presidential candidate who is anti-law enforcement and who doesn’t care about fighting crime. Kamala Harris is a joke. An international disgrace who is a disgusting example of a human being.

There are life prolonging benefits of eating black garlic on an empty stomach. This is no witch craft or some bullshit but the REAL DEAL. Eating black garlic when you are hungry can be healthy since it has a lot of nutrients and active ingredients that support life—antioxidant features of normal garlic change when it is fermented to become black garlic. Besides, the taste also changes from hot and spicy to sweet and mild flavors. Here are some of how consuming black garlic on an empty stomach may benefit your health:
More Powerful Antioxidants
High Antioxidant Concentration: The fermentation process increases the antioxidants in black garlic. These substances help fight oxidative stress and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Protection Against Free Radicals: Free radicals which might cause cell destruction leading to aging or different illnesses are neutralized by antioxidants.
Better Digestive System Functioning
Boosts Healthy Digestion: When taken before meals, black garlic can stimulate digestive enzyme secretion, thereby promoting proper gastrointestinal tract functioning.
Acting As A Natural Prebiotic: Black garlic contains prebiotic fibers that nourish the good bacteria in our guts, aiding digestion and improving general gut health.
Increased Immune System Response
Strengthens Immunity: Blackened cloves have immunity-enhancing properties that enable them to protect organs from infections.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Compounds with anti-inflammatory effects present in this type of fermented product can alleviate inflammations associated with certain chronic conditions, such as arthritis.
Heart-Friendly
Promotes Cardiovascular Wellness: Among its many functions, black cloves lower blood pressure levels and lessen cholesterol content within vessel walls, thus improving circulation around these parts, which leads to better overall cardiac health status. Therefore, adding black cloves to one’s diet would contribute towards achieving such goals.
Prevents Atherosclerosis: Plaque buildup prevention along arteries is made possible by the antioxidants contained in it, which reduce the chances of developing atherosclerotic plaques that could block blood flow supplying various body organs, like heart muscles, among others.
Anti-Cancer Effects
Possible Anti-Cancer Properties: Some research studies have proposed that blackened bulbs may possess anti-cancer properties due to the high amounts of sulfur compounds and antioxidants present.
Sugar Levels Regulation
Regulates Blood Glucose: Blackened garlic can help control sugar levels for individuals diagnosed with diabetes or at risk of developing the disease.
Detoxification Processes
Supports Liver Detoxification: This happens when toxic substances are metabolized within liver cells, leading to their subsequent elimination from the body’s system.
Weight Control Management
Facilitates Fat Burning: These cloves can enhance metabolism and reduce fat deposit accumulation, thus supporting an individual’s weight control measures.
Skin Care Improvement
Enhances Complexion Condition: The antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory characteristics displayed by aged clove extracts might contribute to healthier-looking skin free from blemishes like acne scars, etcetera.
Wellbeing Promotion
Raises Energy Levels: Try eating roasted pieces when feeling weak or tired. They contain certain components known for increasing energy production levels in humans.
Improves Mood State: Its chemical compounds could act on brain receptors responsible for mood regulation, enhancing feelings such as happiness or pleasure and fostering overall emotional wellness.
How Do You Eat Black Garlic?
To derive maximum benefits, eat one or two bulbs after they have been peeled early in the morning before breakfast. This allows more nutrient absorption into the body while also maximizing its healthy effects on you.
In Conclusion…
Adding black cloves to your diet, especially when hungry, comes with numerous health advantages. They contain plenty of antioxidants, boost immunity, aid digestion, promote heart wellness, and improve general body functioning, making them worth considering as part of a healthy lifestyle.

FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loans are a type of mortgage loan program offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These loans are designed to make homeownership more accessible to a broader range of people, particularly those with lower credit scores or a smaller down payment.
Regarding two to four-unit multi-family properties, FHA offers a specific type of loan program known as the FHA Multi-Family Loan or FHA 2-4 Unit Loan. Here are some key points about FHA loans for multi-family properties:
-
Property Eligibility: FHA 2-4 Unit Loans are designed for multi-family properties with 2 to 4 separate housing units. This can include duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. The borrower must also live in one of the units as their primary residence.
-
Down Payment: One of the advantages of FHA loans is that they typically require a lower down payment compared to conventional loans. As of my last knowledge update in November 2023, the minimum down payment for an FHA loan is 3.5% of the purchase price. This means you can potentially purchase a multi-family property with a relatively small down payment.
-
Loan Limits: FHA loan limits vary by location and are subject to change annually. The loan amount you can qualify for depends on the county where the property is located.
-
Credit Requirements: FHA loans are more lenient when it comes to credit requirements compared to conventional loans. However, borrowers are still required to have a reasonably good credit history.
-
Mortgage Insurance: FHA loans require mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) to protect the lender in case of default. There is an upfront MIP payment, which can be financed into the loan, as well as annual MIP payments.
-
Owner-Occupancy: One of the key requirements for an FHA multi-family loan is that the borrower must live in one of the units as their primary residence. This is known as owner-occupancy and is intended to encourage homeownership.
-
Property Condition: The property must meet certain FHA minimum property standards, which means it should be in good condition and meet safety and habitability requirements.
-
Rental Income: If you’re purchasing a multi-family property with FHA financing, you can use the expected rental income from the additional units to help qualify for the loan.
It’s important to note that loan programs and guidelines can change over time, so I recommend contacting an FHA-approved lender or a mortgage broker for the most up-to-date information and discussing your specific situation if you want to obtain an FHA loan for a multi-family property. Additionally, rules and regulations may have evolved since my last knowledge update in November 2023, so verifying the current requirements is important.

The best way to rebuild and re-establish your credit is to get three to five secured credit cards and a credit rebuilder account. Besides secured credit cards, consumers should get a credit rebuilder loan. Credit rebuilder loans is offered by banks or credit unions where you open up a savings account. It is normally a certificate of deposit where you make a monthly deposit (you can choose $25, $50, $75, $100 or more). The monthly payments is reflected on the three credit bureaus as an installment loan payment and once the one year comes up, the money is returned to you. With credit rebuilder accounts, after you make four or five payments, you have the option to get a secured credit against your deposit. https://self.inc is the best credit rebuilder account.
