THE STORY
Many of you may remember the 20 intact-male cats who were left outside of our door of the Monmouth County SPCA a month ago and the 30 other cats who were found and rescued. These poor cats, scared and confused, were living in unimaginable conditions.
Thankfully, the MCSPA’s hard-working Humane Law Enforcement Officers worked day and night on this case to recuse each and every cat. A huge shout-out to them for all their hard work and dedication. They handled the rescue without skipping a beat and thanks to them, all 50 cats are comfortable and have every chance of a happy, healthy life. You can follow up on the full story here. After hearing this news, Greenway Mortgage was eager to step in and help.
The MCSPCA is currently launching an Adopt One, Get One NO FEE promotion for all the cats from the hoarding situation, as well as their growing teenage population of kittens. To learn more about how to adopt, click here. They have MANY cats (and dogs) who need loving homes.

Finding a house you want to buy is very exciting! The house you like may appear great in photos and it feels right when you visit. However, many houses hide darker secrets that might not be immediately obvious, especially some older homes.
Older homes can be high on charm and built to last, but they may also be hiding unexpected secrets. There’s no need to worry! A little vigilance before you buy can prevent you from falling into an expensive trap.
Here are some things to watch out for when you’re on the hunt for an old charmer!
In today's blog (Part 4), we'll take a look at Condominium Ownership. In case you missed Part 1 through 3 of this 4-part series you can find them here:

Moving on to condominiums! A condominium is one of a group of housing units where the homeowners own their individual unit space, and all the dwellings share ownership of common use area (hallways, parking lots, roads, etc). The main difference between condos and regular single homes is that there is no individual ownership of a plot of land. All the land in the condominium project is owned in common by all the homeowners. Condominiums frequently levy monthly “common charges” to each owner to help pay for the maintenance of the commonly owned areas.
Condominiums manage their properties through boards and/or associations with members being elected from all owners, and can also be assisted by a management company. Rules and regulations governing the condominiums are established by the rules of the development’s incorporation and may be modified by these boards.
