Check out www.oldpueblofoundation.org. I am working with this great non profit organization, assisting First Time HomeBuyers, so please call me to see if you qualify. Grants can range from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on the area of Pima County and income.

Interest Rates are still great, about 6.5% on a 30 year fix-conventional loan. The down payment requirement is at least 10% for conventional financing. For First time Homebuyers and non First Time Homebuyers, you can qualify for FHA, which is 3% down payment. So take advantage of the deals out there.

Week of Fourth of July!!!

If you have a United States’ Flag, raise it high on the Fourth of July. Thank you for all those who have served and are serving our country.$3.79/gallon at Safeway (Broadway/Campbell).Make an effort to recycle. Visit http://earth911.org/ for recycling tips.GREEN TIP OF THE MONTH: Recycle! Know what you can recycle in your area. Guidelines for blue barrel recycling in Tucson:No plastic bags (except shredded paper); no garbage.

Please make sure materials are clean, empty and dry.Set out your blue barrel for collection when it is more than half full. Having the truck stop for nearly-empty containers increases fuel consumption and air pollution.Have barrel at curb by 6 a.m. to ensure service.

Leave labels on containers. Bottle and jar caps and lids can be recycled on or off.

Lightly rinse food containers. Use water wisely - throw very dirty items into the garbage.

All recyclables go loose into the blue barrel, together - - no sorting! Please put them in individually, not inside a box or bag.

Do not flatten cans and bottles to insure sorting equipment works properly.

Do flatten corrugated cardboard boxes. Remove plastic wrapping and liners.

Shredded paper may be recycled in the blue barrel if it is secured in a clear plastic bag. This is the only time that plastic bags can go in the recycling container.
