JOKE OF THE MONTH

A very successful real estate broker had a meeting with his new son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my real estate office. All you have to do is go to the office every day and learn the business."

The son-in-law interrupted, "I hate offices and I can't stand agents."

"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well, then you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the paperwork."

"I hate paperwork," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day."

"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just made you half-owner of my real estate office, but you don't like offices and won't work in an office. What am I going to do with you?"

"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out."

    TIP OF THE MONTH

Despite slowdowns in some markets, housing remains a good long-term investment. In many areas across the country, including ours right here in South Central Kentucky, conditions are favorable for home buyers, allowing many to achieve the American dream of homeownership.

Homeownership offers immediate benefits and long-term value. Homeowners accumulate wealth for the future while enjoying the benefits of a shelter that they can use, improve and sell. Homeownership is how many American families begin to accumulate wealth. According to data from the Federal Reserve Board, a homeowner’s net worth is 46 times that of a renter’s.
