Dogo Argentino is a very unique and expensive dog. Those who want to adopt a Dogo Argentino should study up and research the breed before pulling the trigger. I will give you a bunch of information about the Dogo Argentino. The breed was created in Argentina by Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez in the 1920s. It was made from various kinds of dogs including the extinct Cordoba Fighting Dog, Great Dane, Boxer, Spanish Mastiff, Old English Bulldog, Bull Terrier, Great Pyrenees, Pointer and Irish Wolfhound. You can buy a Dogo Argentino from reputable breeders who specialize in them or you could check out some breed-specific rescue centers too! Some general dog rescues might have one every now and then also.
Socialization is important when raising a Dogo Argentino. Early socialization is key—consistent training from an early age should be provided as well as lots of exercise and mental stimulation too. Establish yourself as the pack leader through proper nutrition and regular vet check ups. Engage them in activities that challenge them both physically & mentally.
The temperament of this breed is loyal and protective over its family but also confident & courageous – though sometimes stubborn or independent with other animals if not properly socialized.
Size: Males: 24-26.5 inches (61-67 cm) tall; 88-100 lbs (40-45 kg) Females: 23.5-25.5 inches (60-65 cm) tall; 88-95 lbs (40-43 kg)
Personality: -Affectionate with family -Protective & alert -Smart & athletic -Determined
Male vs Female: -Males are usually bigger and more dominant. -Females may be more independent but easier to train.
Colors: Mostly white with small dark patches on head
Trainability: -Moderately easy to train but can be stubborn. -Require firm consistent training. – Respond well to positive reinforcement
Good with kids and small dogs: – They can be good with children if raised with them and properly socialized. – High prey drive, so caution is needed around small dogs and other pets.
Cost: -From a breeder: $1,500 to $5,000. -Adoption fees from rescues: $300 to $800.
Lifespan of a Dogo Argentiono ranges between 10 to 12 years on average.
Dogo Argentinos need high exercise (1-2 hours daily) and moderate grooming. Dogo Argentino may be banned or restricted in some areas due to breed-specific legislation, like other dogs, such as Pit Bulls, Cane Corso, Old English Mastiff, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers. It is not recommended for first-time dog owners due to their strong personalities and exercise needs. Keep in mind that each dog has its own unique personality so training should always be done carefully with positive reinforcement methods used consistently throughout the process of teaching anything new especially commands which could save lives later on when they are older but still young at heart like most big breeds!

Yo, how ya doing? This is a typical greeting in New York. It really isn’t a question, because no one gives a shit about “how ya doing.” New Yorkese is a language onto itself, “dees and deems.” Once you learn this language, it stays with you forever. Caw-fee is coffee in New York, but a regular caw-fee comes is with cream and sugar. There are so many nuances and when you meet a fellow New Yorker, the lingo and pronunciation return instantly.
I have been saying “Yo” all my life, “Yo Vinny, Yo Tony.” It in essence means “hey,” not hello.
I moved out west, and everyone knew where I was from. It was like having a big sign on your shirt saying, “Yo, I’m from New York.” For twenty-four years, my accent got watered down. One trip back, just one trip, and I spoke like I was auditioning for “Godfather, you can’t lose it!
I was on a social media site recently called “New Yorkers that have moved to Florida.” One of your typical bullshit sites, I seldom post anything, I just read. One time I had to answer the post when the comment was made, “If you say “y’all,’ in Florida, you are not from New York.” That I took offense to, I was offended.
First of all, out of all the New Yorkers living in Florida, I have not one, not a single one, born in New York. If you mail a letter and address it New York, New York, it goes to Manhattan, not Brooklyn, Queens of Upstate New York. I was born on 21st Street and 1st Avenue at Manhattan General Hospital. To a native Manhattanite, Central Park is upstate. When I hear, “I’m from New York,” and I ask where, “Albany,” not New York, New York,.
Yo, how y’all doing? A combo of north and south. Not only do I use y’all, I use it in writing. I have family in New Orleans and Mississippi. The ones born there taught the non-natives what to use in their speech. Not only do I say y’all, I can also explain when to use “all y’all.” Y’all are used to speaking to a small group of people; y’all know what I’m saying.” When speaking to a large crowd, it’s all y’all. “All of you.”
Yo, I hope, “All y’all got it!

Deciding between investing in 22 single-family homes or a 22-unit apartment building as a rental property investment is a significant decision and depends on various factors. Here are some considerations to help you make an informed choice:
-
Location: Location is crucial in real estate. Consider the location of both options in terms of job growth, population trends, proximity to amenities, schools, and crime rates. A well-located property typically has better long-term potential for appreciation and lower vacancy rates.
-
Management: Managing multiple single-family homes can be more time-consuming and costly compared to managing a single apartment building. With an apartment building, you have economies of scale, and you may be able to hire professional property management services to handle day-to-day operations.
-
Cash Flow: Calculate the potential cash flow for each option. Apartment buildings often have a more stable cash flow because vacancies in one unit can be offset by income from others. Single-family homes may have more fluctuating cash flows due to individual vacancies.
-
Financing: Consider your financing options. Financing for single-family homes may be easier to obtain, but apartment buildings may offer better financing terms due to the potential for higher rental income.
-
Maintenance and Repairs: Factor in maintenance and repair costs. With multiple single-family homes, you’ll have more individual properties to maintain, which can be more expensive and time-consuming compared to a single apartment building.
-
Diversification: Diversification is a risk management strategy. Owning 22 single-family homes can spread risk, as issues with one property won’t necessarily affect the others. In contrast, an issue with a large apartment building can have a more significant impact.
-
Market Conditions: Consider the current and future market conditions in your area. The demand for single-family homes and apartment units can vary based on economic trends and local factors.
-
Exit Strategy: Think about your long-term goals and exit strategy. Are you planning to hold the properties for rental income indefinitely, or do you have a specific exit plan, such as selling after a certain period?
-
Financing and Capital: Assess your financial situation and access to capital. Apartment buildings often require a larger initial investment, both in terms of down payment and ongoing expenses.
-
Risk Tolerance: Evaluate your risk tolerance. Single-family homes may provide more diversification and lower risk, but apartment buildings can offer potentially higher returns.
Ultimately, the choice between investing in 22 single-family homes or a 22-unit apartment building depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and the local real estate market. It’s advisable to consult with real estate professionals, financial advisors, and conduct thorough market research before making your decision. Additionally, considering a mix of property types in your investment portfolio can provide diversification and reduce risk.

Cash-out refinancing is a great way for homeowners, including first home buyers, to access the equity they’ve built up in their homes. This process involves getting a new mortgage that’s larger than your current one, and the difference is given to you in cash. This extra cash can be used for buying another property, paying off debt, or making home improvements. In this blog, we’ll explore the ins and outs of cash-out refinancing and answer common questions.
What is Cash-Out Refinancing?
Cash-out refinancing means replacing your existing mortgage with a new one that’s larger. The extra amount you borrow is given to you in cash, which you can use for various needs like home renovations, paying off high-interest debt, funding education, or investing.
For example, if your home is worth $800,000 and you owe $400,000 on your mortgage, you might refinance for $500,000. You’d pay off the $400,000 loan and get $100,000 in cash.
How Does Cash-Out Refinancing Work?
Here’s how cash-out refinancing generally works:
-
Assessing Home Equity: Calculate your home equity by subtracting what you owe on your mortgage from your home’s market value. Lenders typically allow you to borrow up to 80% of your home’s value, but this can vary.
-
Applying for the Loan: Contact your current lender or shop around for the best refinancing deal. You’ll need to provide documents like proof of income, credit history, and details about your current mortgage.
-
Home Appraisal: The lender will appraise your home to determine its current market value.
-
Approval and Terms: If approved, you’ll receive the terms of the new loan, including the interest rate, repayment period, and any fees.
-
Settlement: The new loan pays off your existing mortgage, and you get the difference between the old and new loan amounts as cash.
Pros and Cons of Cash-Out Refinancing
Pros:
- Secure better loan terms and interest rates.
- Use the cash to pay off high-interest credit cards and personal loans.
- Lower your monthly payments by extending the loan term.
Cons:
- Risk of arrears if you can’t make the repayments.
- Longer loan term means paying more interest over time.
- High closing costs for the new mortgage, though lower monthly payments might offset this if you stay in your home long-term.
- Using cash-out refinance for debt consolidation might extend your loan term more than necessary.
Considerations and Risks
- Costs and Fees: Refinancing can be costly, with expenses like application fees, valuation fees, legal fees, and sometimes break fees for ending your original mortgage early.
- Longer Repayment Period: While lower monthly payments are possible, extending your mortgage term means paying more interest over the loan’s life.
- Impact on Equity: Taking cash out reduces your home equity, affecting your financial stability and future options, especially if property values drop.
- Risk of Arrears: If you can’t meet the repayment terms, you risk arrears, putting your home in jeopardy.
- Qualification Requirements: Lenders will check your creditworthiness, income, and home value. Poor credit or insufficient income could lead to less favorable loan terms or even rejection.
How Much Can You Borrow with a Cash-Out Refinance?
The amount you can borrow depends on several factors: the current market value of your property, the loan-to-value ratio (LVR) allowed by the lender, and your creditworthiness.
Lenders typically allow a maximum LVR between 80% and 90% of your property’s appraised value. To find out how much you can borrow, calculate the difference between what you owe and 80% of your property’s value.
For example, if your property is appraised at $500,000 and your current mortgage balance is $300,000, a lender allowing an 80% LVR might let you cash out up to $100,000.
Check with lenders for their specific terms and guidelines, as these can vary. They might also have restrictions on how you can use the cash-out funds and require documentation or proof of intended use.
To get an exact amount you’re eligible to borrow, consult with mortgage brokers or lenders. They can assess your situation and give you accurate information based on their criteria.
Benefits of Cash-Out Refinancing
Cash-out refinancing can be a smart financial move, allowing you to tap into your home’s equity. Here are some reasons why it’s popular:
- Access to Funds: You get a lump sum of money based on your home’s equity. This can finance projects like home improvements, starting a business, investing, education costs, or paying off high-interest debt.
- Competitive Interest Rates: Refinancing often means securing a better interest rate on your loan. Shop around with different lenders to find the best rates and loan terms.
- Potential Tax Benefits: Depending on how you use the funds, the interest on the portion of the loan used for investments might be tax-deductible. Consult a tax advisor to understand your specific situation.
Conclusion
Cash-out refinancing is a valuable option for homeowners, including first home buyer, to access their property’s value for various financial purposes. Whether you want to invest in another property, consolidate debt, or cover major expenses, it’s essential to understand how cash-out refinancing works and its impact.

Like a scene from “Night of the Living Dead,” they will come into your home and take over. Zombies are everywhere; just when you thought it was safe, the zombies appear. Think about getting a pool; the zombies will take it. Renovation’s a great idea, but the zombies will come.
Zombie mortgage, or at least the term, was coined in 2008 after the crash of banks and the real estate business. What exactly is a zombie mortgage? It is a secondary mortgage when purchasing a house. Jack and Jill can’t afford the 20% payment, so they borrowed from their aunt in Peoria to secure the house. The bank has a 30-year mortgage on the home, and they need good reason to foreclose. The owners are paying the first mortgage, not the second; they have their own arrangement. However, the secondary holders of the mortgage can foreclose whenever they want. Scary, “Night of the Living Dead,” scary.
Usually, it is assumed that the secondary mortgage is forgiven in six to ten years, and the loan lies dormant for years, basically forgotten about. Surprise, that isn’t always the case.
Jack and Jill are getting divorced; Aunt Hazel from Peoria is Jill’s aunt. What could happen if the aunt calls the note in? It’s a really messy divorce; Jack cheated on Jill, and Jill wants revenge. The aunt sends Jack a foreclosure notice. Meanwhile, Jack has to pay and vacate the home.
Jill, being Aunt Hazel’s favorite niece, assumes ownership. This is a real-life scenario.
In the last two years, ten thousand zombie mortgages were called in for payment in New York. This is happening every day during the week.
In the event of a zombie attack, remember that they aren’t that smart but awfully strong. Make barricades against all doors. Don’t open windows and get to high ground; they can’t climb.
The CDC wants you to be prepared. They have a practical handbook available. Your guide to the “apocalypse.” Similar to hurricane preparation.

No-doc real estate loans, short for “no documentation” or “no document” loans, were a type of mortgage loan that gained popularity in the early 2000s during the housing boom in the United States. These loans were designed to make it easier for borrowers to obtain mortgages without having to provide extensive documentation of their income, employment, or financial assets. The key characteristic of no-doc loans was that they required minimal or no documentation from the borrower to verify their financial status.
Here are some key features of no-doc real estate loans:
-
Limited Documentation: Borrowers typically did not need to provide traditional income verification documents, such as pay stubs, tax returns, or W-2 forms. Instead, they might state their income on the loan application without providing any supporting evidence.
-
Higher Interest Rates: Due to the increased risk associated with lending without thorough income verification, no-doc loans often came with higher interest rates compared to traditional mortgage loans.
-
Lower Down Payments: Lenders might accept smaller down payments, allowing borrowers to purchase homes with less money upfront.
-
Risky Borrowers: No-doc loans were often marketed to self-employed individuals or those with irregular income streams who had difficulty qualifying for conventional mortgages.
-
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs): Many no-doc loans were structured as adjustable-rate mortgages, which meant that the interest rate could change over time, potentially leading to higher monthly payments.
-
Declining Values: The popularity of no-doc loans contributed to the housing bubble and subsequent financial crisis in the late 2000s, as many borrowers who couldn’t afford the loans defaulted when interest rates adjusted or home values declined.
As a result of the housing market collapse and the financial crisis, regulations surrounding mortgage lending were tightened, and risky loan products like no-doc loans largely disappeared from the market. Today, lenders typically require borrowers to provide comprehensive documentation to verify their income and financial stability when applying for a mortgage, with the aim of ensuring that borrowers can afford the loans they are seeking.

I just wanted to share with everyone how important it is to have an amazing friend. Today, my friend’s house caught on fire and she immediately called me in a panic. Even though I had no idea where her house was, I reassured her that I was on my way. In the midst of assisting her with a loan, I quickly pulled up her address and rushed to the scene.
Seeing the devastation firsthand was heartbreaking. The fire had destroyed precious family photos and heirlooms, including a table that belonged to her great grandmother. As the firefighters worked to extinguish the flames, my friend realized she needed to contact her insurance company, but she couldn’t remember the name or details. Thankfully, I had all the information she had previouslyu emailed me, so I assured her that I would take care of it.
What struck me the most about this experience was how everything fell into place. It felt like a divine intervention, with all the necessary information coming together within a matter of minutes. I am incredibly grateful that my friend and her family were not home at the time of the fire, as they might have risked their lives trying to save their belongings. Unfortunately, the house was a total loss.
It was definitely an eventful day, but it reminded me of the importance of having a supportive friend in times of crisis. We never know when we might need someone to lean on, and I am grateful that I could be there for my friend when she needed it the most. As I reminded her , she was there for me . When my Dad passed , help cleaning out the attic.

How Does The ITIN Loan Program Work
The ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) loan program is designed to provide financial assistance to individuals who do not have a Social Security Number (SSN) but have an ITIN. ITINs are issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to individuals who are required to pay taxes in the United States but are not eligible for an SSN, such as non-resident immigrants, foreign nationals, and others.
Here’s how the ITIN loan program typically works:
-
Eligibility: To qualify for an ITIN loan, you need to have a valid ITIN issued by the IRS. Most lenders that offer ITIN loans require applicants to be at least 18 years old and have a source of income in the United States.
-
Choose a Lender: You’ll need to find a lender that offers ITIN loans. These lenders specialize in serving individuals with ITINs and understand the unique requirements of this demographic. Some banks, credit unions, and online lenders offer ITIN loan programs.
-
Application Process: The application process for an ITIN loan is similar to that of a traditional loan. You’ll need to provide personal and financial information, including proof of identity, income documentation, and other relevant paperwork. Lenders will assess your creditworthiness based on this information.
-
Loan Types: ITIN loan programs may offer various types of loans, including personal loans, auto loans, mortgages, and more. The availability of loan types can vary depending on the lender.
-
Credit Check: Some lenders may perform a credit check as part of the application process to evaluate your credit history and assess the risk associated with lending to you. However, some ITIN loan programs are designed for individuals with limited or no credit history.
-
Loan Approval: If your application is approved, the lender will provide you with the terms and conditions of the loan, including the interest rate, loan amount, repayment schedule, and any applicable fees.
-
Repayment: Once you accept the loan offer, you are responsible for repaying the loan according to the agreed-upon terms. This typically involves making regular monthly payments, which may include both principal and interest.
-
Building Credit: Timely repayment of an ITIN loan can help you build a positive credit history in the United States, which may improve your access to financial products and services in the future.

Obtaining business credit as a non-resident can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Here are some steps you can take to establish and build business credit in a country where you are not a resident:
- Establish a Legal Business Entity:
- Register your business as a legal entity in the country where you want to establish credit. Common options include forming a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or another suitable business structure.
- Obtain an EIN or Local Business Identification Number:
- In the United States, you’ll need to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Other countries may have similar tax identification numbers.
- Open a Business Bank Account:
- Open a business bank account in the country where your business is registered. This account should be separate from your personal finances.
- Build a Strong Business Credit Profile:
- Start by establishing relationships with local suppliers, vendors, and creditors. Pay your bills on time to create a positive credit history.
- Consider applying for a business credit card with a local bank or financial institution. Use it responsibly and pay off balances on time to build credit.
- Monitor Your Credit Profile:
- Regularly check your business credit report to ensure accuracy and track your credit history. In the United States, business credit bureaus like Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business, and Equifax Business provide credit reports for businesses.
- Establish Trade References:
- Work with suppliers, vendors, and other business partners who are willing to report your payment history to credit bureaus. Positive trade references can boost your credit profile.
- Apply for Small Business Loans or Lines of Credit:
- After establishing some credit history, consider applying for small business loans or lines of credit from local financial institutions. Secured loans may be easier to obtain if you can provide collateral.
- Build a Strong Financial Record:
- Maintain accurate financial records for your business. This includes keeping well-organized accounting books, tax records, and financial statements.
- Show Stability:
- Demonstrate that your business is stable and has a reliable source of income. Lenders and creditors are more likely to extend credit to businesses with a strong financial track record.
- Seek professional advice.
- Consult with local financial advisors or legal experts who can provide guidance on building business credit in your specific location.
Keep in mind that the process of building business credit as a non-resident may vary depending on the country and local regulations. It’s essential to understand the specific requirements and credit reporting agencies in your target country. Additionally, building business credit takes time, so be patient and persistent in your efforts. GCA Forums are experts in helping non-residents with business credit.
