Question:How do you Make Finding a Home Exciting for Your Kids?
The best source is a friend, or perhaps a business acquaintance, who has been satisfied with and can recommend a home inspector they have used. In addition, the names of local inspectors can be found by searching the American Society of Home Inspectors’ (ASHI) online database or looking in the Yellow Pages where many firms advertise under “Building Inspection Service” or “Home Inspection Service.”
Real estate agents are also generally familiar with the service, and should be able to provide you with a list of names from which to choose. Whatever your referral source, you will want to make sure that the home inspector is a member of ASHI in order to be certain of his or her professional qualifications, experience and business ethics. A list of ASHI members in your area is available upon request from www.ashi.com.

Cut Your Tax Bill When Selling Your Home
If you have owned and occupied your home as your principal residence for two out of the past five years, you’re eligible for the exclusion of capital gain on its sale (up to $250,000 on an individual return and $500,000 on a joint return). The savings are substantial: At the top 20 percent tax rate on long-term capital gains, the exclusion lets an individual seller keep up to $50,000 more of the proceeds, and for a married couple filing a joint return, the cash benefit can amount to $100.000.
