HOW TO GET A MORTGAGE

CNBNews graphics file

(CNBNewsnet)(July 17, 2018)--Some people enjoy renting their home; they like the freedom it gives them to live where they want, and they like the fact that the landlord has a lot of responsibility for upkeep in many cases. However, there are others who would prefer to own their own home, even if that is a difficult thing to do. It’s not impossible, however, to obtain a mortgage, and more lenders are now opening up the opportunity to buyers once more. There must, of course, be certain criteria in place before you are able to get a mortgage; here are some of the most important.

Your Income

When you apply for a mortgage, the first thing that will need to be considered is your income. You will have to show evidence of what you earn, so if you don’t have any pay stubs, you will need to ask your employer to provide them. They may need to create pay stubs to give you if they don’t automatically give them out when you are paid, but this is not a difficult thing to do.

If you are self-employed and therefore don’t have any pay stubs, then a recent tax return will often be sufficient, but it will depend on the lender you are speaking to; each one will have their own set of criteria, so you will need to find out how they deal with those who are self-employed.

Consumer Tips: 2016 End of Year Auto Purchase

By Raymond Rolak

Bargains and sales enticements will soon flood the auto dealerships to gain market share from customers.  It is approaching the time to shop for end of year bargains.  The dealers will say that they have to make room for the 2017 models.  The consumer can take advantage of the end of the year sales will be augmented by good financing and low interest rates.  There will also be enticements if you choose the lease route for a 2016 model.  Ten points an informed consumer should know and watch for. 

CNB Business News: Thumbs Up for Marlton's OSushi

 

Upon entering Marlton's new Japanese restaurant OSushi, you might think you've stepped into a relaxing spa-if you haven't already heard the buzz about the food. OSushi's tranquil ambiance owes a lot to its decor, which emphasizes earthen shades of brown, black, and green. Situated in a glass box over a grey stone wall, a crackling faux…

GLOUCESTER CITY N.J. May 1, 2016--Late Sunday afternoon, my wife and I enjoyed a super meal at Chubby’s at the corner of Monmouth and Burlington Streets, right across from a former portion of Gloucester Catholic High School. Matt, our excellent chef, graduated from there, as did I and our Cleary’s Blog host, Bill Cleary. We reminisced about how nice it was to work and eat right in view of part of our former heritage. Chubby’s is just a block from the Delaware River and
nearby Proprietor’s Park, where it’s nice to sit, get some sun, and watch the ships pass by.

The Center for Civic Leadership and Responsibility at Camden County College regularly offers lectures series on a variety of fascinating and timely topics. Most programs are held in the College’s spacious Civic Auditorium in Blackwood:

The Mystery Consumer Recommends: “College Scorecard”

The Mystery Consumer | CNBNewsnet

President Obama recently announced the opening of “College Scorecard”. It provides a great deal of comparative information about colleges and universities throughout the country that can be a useful aid to prospective students and parents alike. The website is: 

www.collegescorecard.ed.gov

Because of the cost of higher education, it’s important to get a handle on what the longer term financial benefit of various institutions will be. It should also be noted that the benefit of higher education includes many positive factors other than simply financial return.

The Mystery Consumer Suggests: Lunch at Capital Grille, Cherry Hill Mall

The Mystery Consumer | CNBNewsnet

CHERRY HILL NJ--This is a well-kept secret. Most people think that Capital Grille is expensive, and for dinner it can get pricey, but lunch is a real deal. First, there’s free valet parking. Just drive up to the stand. Lunch prices are in effect until 4PM. You will find it far less crowded that just about any other dining establishment at the Mall. Capital Grille is located just to the left of the Nordstrom’s entrance to the Mall.

The food is excellent and the servers are attentive. They typically have lunch specials, so for two for lunch, it might only cost $10-$20 extra over what you’d spend for lunch at places like Seasons 52 or Brio,  which are also very nice. I think the modest difference in price is well worth it. 

CNB BUSINESS NEWSThe Mystery Consumer Suggests: aenigma Jewelry and Accessories

 

– and not just for women, MC says

(856)833-9200

http://www.aenigmajewelry.com

 

aenigma is far more than just jewelry. It’s located at 6 Powell Lane in Collingswood, right off Haddon Avenue, just past Collings Avenue. Powell Lane is the street where the large vertical sign for “The Lumberyard” residences is located. It’s a short street with limited parking, so you might try Haddon Avenue instead (good luck with that). A better bet is to park just across Collings Avenue in the Speedline parking lot or in the municipal parking lot adjacent to it. Caution: the meters have to be fed until 9 PM.

 GOD’S LITTLE ACRE—The Borough of Brooklawn, also known by some residents as God’s Little Acre, is a happening place these days. By now most people know the Brooklawn Diner opened under new management, and if you are a sports fan you are aware that the Brooklawn Legion baseball team is making another appearance in the American Legion World Series. The defending champs begin play on Thursday, in Shelby, N.C.

The Mystery Consumer Suggests: Bordentown Restaurants

THE MYSTERY CONSUMER | CNBNewsnet

Getting tired of going to the same restaurants all the time? Think about extending your reach. Bordentown, just below Trenton, might seem like the end of the earth for many in South Jersey, but that have a very fine collection of good restaurantsright on Farnsworth Avenue. (FarnsworthAvenue is easily reached by taking Route 295 North from South Jersey, getting off at the Route 130 North exit and making a left at the first traffic light on Farnsworth Avenue. Stay to the left as soon as you get on Route 130. There is no jughandle. Just stay left. The restaurant area is about a mile down, surrounded by a number of interesting shops and businesses, perfect for taking a walk before or after dinner. There is also a NJ Light Rail Line within easy walking distance, so anyone near the Riverline can take the train there instead.

Ranked in the order of preference, I’d suggest:

The Mystery Consumer Suggests: Super Bakeries!

By The Mystery Consumer

(CNBNewsnet)Based on my many years of experimentation, and poundage, here's my all-star list of bakeries and some wonderful items for you to try:

Audubon: Desserts by Design - Merchant Street
A wonderful selection of cakes, cookies and other baked goods. Wonderful tarts, especially the coconut, carrot cake, and almond paste pastry. Renee will great you with her lovely smile.

Haddon Heights: 'Tis So Sweet - 9th Avenue, just off Kings Highway
I love their small, plain cherry pie. One of the best I've ever had, and I've had plenty. Sonya is a charming lady who also appears with her taste treats at the Haddon Heights Farm Market on Sunday mornings. She also has a "bakery camp" for children in the summer.

The Mystery Consumer Suggests: Duffy's Candies of Gloucester City...and Now Haddonfield!

Written By The Mystery Consumer

Tradition is a wonderful thing, and Duffy's stands tall. For ninety years, Duffy's has provided excellent chocolates at their original location at 29 N. Broadway in Gloucester City. That location also carries delicious gummy spearmint leaves and orange slices. Love the spearmint leaves. 

Going toward Camden on Broadway, park your car just past the traffic light at Monmouth Street and cross over Broadway and you'll spot it easily, not as easily if you were driving and looking for it, because it's easy to drive right by - and that would be a shame. 

Duffy's is a family owned business and a Gloucester City tradition, one of the City's oldest businesses. They are renowned for their "Irish Potatoes" which they sell a ton of around St. Patrick's Day. If you're a Gloucester resident, and haven't been to Duffy's - and there are actually some who haven't - take a walk over for some real taste treats.

The Mystery Consumer Suggests: Pete’s Shoe Repair

 

Pete’s Shoe Repair

725 N. Black Horse Pike

Runnemede, NJ 08078

www.petesshoerepair.com

 

RUNNEMEDE NJ (CNBNews.net)--Finding a shoe repair shop is getting more difficult. Pete’s is a family owned and operated business for over 50 years. Their quality is excellent. They also sell a variety of other shoe related products. In addition, they also repair many other things, including even grass bags on mowers. They sewed the lining in a piece of luggage for me. The small loop on my leather watchband came off. They took care of that too. Their prices for these small repairs were very reasonable. They did both these things while I waited.

Pete’s is a very active shop, so things can’t always be done while you wait, but they certainly do their best to help you. If you have shoes that need repair or anything else requiring sewing, I’d give them a call.

Pete’s is located just past the Runnemede Wawa on the right heading toward the shore. Proceed slowly because it’s easy to fly right by!

Romash Physical Therapy

76 E. Euclid Avenue

1st Floor, Suite 100

Haddonfield, NJ 08033

(856) 427-9311

 

HADDONFIELD NJ (CNBNews.net)--Due to an auto accident I had about 15 years ago, plus other occasions, I’ve been to a number of physical therapy practitioners. This one is one of the best. There is no sitting around here, watching therapists gab with each other. Nor are clients just told what to do and left to their own devices. All clients are carefully monitored. There is great cooperation between members of the staff. The owner, Rich Romash, is on site and regularly supervises his therapists. I found all the therapists to be conscientious and extremely well-selected.

The Mystery Consumer Suggests " II FIORE"

 

Il Fiore

693-695 Haddon Ave, Collingswood, NJ 08108 

(856) 833-0808

 

 COLLINGSWOOD NJ  (CNBNews.net)-- Il Fiore is a great restaurant at a terrific value. It is located on Haddon Avenue, where Collings Avenue intersects with it. It is highly rated on both Yelp and Trip Advisor. It features substantial portions at very modest prices. One of my favorites is the Seafood Risotto (Risotto Pescatora). It has a variety of seafood and is a real deal at $14. The Salmon is also a bargain at the same price. I’d recommend getting it with no sauce or only light sauce. My wife likes the Lemon Chicken (Pollo Limone). 

The Mystery Consumer Suggests Vacationing in Chincoteague, Virginia | CNBNews.net

 

Chincoteague's 90th Annual Pony Swim will be held this year on July 29 (photo credit Chincoteague website)

 

 

by The Mystery Consumer

Chincoteague, Virginia (CNBNews.net)--Here’s a vacation destination that’s not too far, but far enough to feel like you’re out of the local orbit. It’s about 3 ½ hours from South Jersey. We’ve visited there four times, once in December. It’s a small, quiet town with a “Main Street” that has several restaurants and shops. 

The best on the street I think is Bill’s, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In our six day stay recently, we ate three meals there. It’s a cozy place with wooden booths and tables, a nice menu, good quality, and a friendly atmosphere. It’s open year round. I asked a gentleman there who appeared to be in charge if he were Bill. He said, “I’m Ken, but I’m Bill.” On the night we went to dinner there, I called and made a reservation and asked for a booth. When we got there, they had a little reserved sign on the booth. Pretty nifty I thought, for a small restaurant in a resort town in the summer when they expected a busy evening.

 Indeblue Indian Cuisine

619 Collings Avenue
Collingswood, NJ 08107
856.854.4633

Lunch, Sunday Brunch, and Dinner

 

COLLINGSWOOD NJ (CNBNews.net)--Located just off the White Horse Pike, Indeblue offers excellent food. There is also outside dining on their front deck. My wife and I have eaten here many times and enjoyed it. Often when suggesting an Indian restaurant to others, the response can be “I don’t like Indian food.” But there is enough on their menu for simple tastes, and all dishes can be served with mild, medium or hot spices. The serving staff is very helpful in making suggestions and explaining various dishes. That’s good because some of the names are tongue-twisters!

The Mystery Consumer Suggests Zaffron Meditteranean Cuisine

Zaffron Meditteranean Cuisine 

113 E. Kings Highway,

Haddonfield (BYOB)

 

HADDONFIELD NJ (CNBNews.net)--Although this restaurant has only be opened for a few months, my wife and I have had both lunch and dinner here on a number of occasions. Zaffron has been well-reviewed on Yelp and other dining sites. The exterior is identified by a black and white awning over the entrance.

Zaffron is located in the former location of “Animo Juice”, which moved across, and down, the street. The environment is small and cozy. With the addition of outside tables under cover, you can eat outside when it’s raining or when the sun is blazing. The owner has creatively removed the former display areas on both sides of the former entrance and created some inviting table space.
