Since it's Thanksgiving - I thought I would give you some fun facts acout Thanksgiving...

- The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 over a three day harvest festival. It included 50 Pilgrims, 90 Wampanoag Indians, and lasted three days. It is believed by historians that only five women were present.

Productivity Tip For You...

Good Morning!

I wanted to give you a productivity tip today.

It’s an add on to Gmail that I use alot.  

It’s called Boomerang.  You can lean about it here…  https://www.boomeranggmail.com/

If you get an email that requires some form of action on your part – but you don’t have time to do it now, you can Boomerang it.

You tell Boomerang to put this email at the top of your inbox in an hour, two hours, tomorrow morning, in a week, in a month, etc.  …anytime you want.

It’s cool.  That way you don’t clog your task list up with a bunch of stuff that will just get buried.

It’s a great way to follow up with people in the future also.

That’s it for today!

How To Get A Loan When You Have Filed A Tax Extension...

Good Morning!

What do you do if you are in the process of applying for a loan and you have filed an extension on your taxes?

(assuming your loan officer is asking for tax returns for  underwriting)

Your loan officer asks you for your most recent tax return, but you can’t give it to him or her because you filed an extension.

Easy! …You give your loan officer the extension you filed, plus your previous two years tax returns.

Now, if your extension shows you owe money to the IRS the underwriter may ask you to show proof you paid this money. Keep this in mind.

That’s it for today!

I hope you have a great day! Thanks for reading!
