Home Buying in Tupelo MS

1. Write out a list of activities your family normally likes to do. You can then look for homes that have the right kind of space for your family. The first couple of homes we bought, we just went looking and decided on what we thought was the prettiest. However, we really didn’t think about how we lived and consequently neither of these houses were comfortable for us. A relocation expert specializing in relocating to Tupelo MS, can help you analyze what type of home in Tupelo MS would suit your family.

2. Decide what your monthly housing budget will be once you move to Tupelo MS. Qualify and get approved for a mortgage before you even arrive. If possible, schedule a house hunting trip about 6-8 weeks before you will be transferred. That way you can move right into your home when you relocate to Tupelo MS without having to stay in a Hotel. When we moved we actually parked the moving van at our new home, spent 2 hours closing the loan and then moved right in!

3. Decide which features in a home you have to have, and which would be nice to have. Focus on homes that meet your “have-to” requirements and then use “would be nice” features to determine which home to buy. For example: I had to have four bedrooms but I didn’t have to have a formal dining room as long as the house had a large breakfast room. There are many homes in Tupelo MS, with a great variety of price and amenities. Request a Free “Relocation to Tupelo MS” relocation package (click on link above) from one of our expert Tupelo MS Real Estate agents and you will be on your way to finding out how much home your budget can buy.

4. How important are schools? You may want to contact some schools in Tupelo MS and surrounding areas and talk to principles. You will find out much more about schools this way. National test scores are not always an accurate indication of how appropriate the school will be for your child/children. If you have requested a FREE “Relocation to Tupelo MS” real estate information package, the Tupelo MS Realtor who is chosen to provide that Tupelo MS Relocation information can also give you valuable advice about which schools are the best in the Tupelo MS area. Our Realtor told us about one school district whose whole curriculum is built around boosting test scores, but their standard of education and extra-curricular activities were lacking. But the results looked good!

5. How important is ease of upkeep? New homes in Tupelo MS are normally built with energy efficient features and low maintenance exteriors. Older homes in Tupelo MS may make up in charm what they lack in ease of upkeep. My husband is extremely busy and we like to spend what little time we have on our hobbies. So we chose to buy a low maintenance home. My brother, on the other hand, just bought a house built in 1910 and is loving renovating his new home! The wonderful thing about America is that it can accommodate all tastes!

Once you have found a home in Tupelo MS and have started the whole mortgage approval process, there are things you need to do at your current location. First, decide which furniture you will take to your new home in Tupelo MS. Start inventorying your current possessions, dividing them into items to take and items to dispose of. Solicit estimates from moving companies. Make sure that you put all important documents in secure file to travel with you. Do not pack any documentation that might be needed to complete your loan application! Someone I knew recently had to spend a whole day at a storage facility going through every one of her packing boxes to find crucial documentation for her mortgage. Start making a list of all medical, dental, school records to transfer. You will need to find new medical facilities once you move to Tupelo MS.

Approximately 6 weeks before your scheduled relocation to Tupelo MS, start cleaning out closets and arranging yard sales. You may want to pick up change of address cards from the Post Office. Keep the address cards handy and so that you can fill them in when you think of new names. It may be useful to draw a floor plan of your new home so that you can start planning where you want your furniture to be placed once the moving van arrives. Once you are about 4 weeks away from moving to your new home in Tupelo MS, START PACKING! If you are going to have movers pack your belongings, you should start cleaning out closets and drawers. You are not going to want to unpack junk, old clothes and useless items into your brand new home! If you are not going to be moving straight into your new home in Tupelo MS, make hotel reservations close by to where your home is located. Clean furniture and drapes – you don’t want to hang dirty curtains in your new Tupelo MS home! Start using up all your groceries.

A couple of weeks before you move to Tupelo MS your BuyersUSA Relocation Tupelo MS real estate agent should be calling you soon to check on Home Owners insurance for your new home and giving you last minute instructions for making your relocation to Tupelo MS as smooth as possible. Check with your veterinarian about moving tips for your animals and make sure that they are all current with their shots. Your Tupelo MS real estate agent should be taking care of ordering last minute inspections and surveys so you don’t have to worry.

Real Estate Lenders in Tupelo MS

For most people, finding the right home in Tupelo MS is just the first step. Finding the right financing to buy a home is essential to make the home purchase occur! A home buyer has a choice of local mortgage lenders and national lenders advertising on the Web. Many home buyers find that using local Tupelo MS lenders (with rates very comparable to online mortgage brokers) help ease some of the stress of moving. Home buyers have more personal service, and the mortgage companies have a better relationship with appraisers and other real estate professionals. Ask about adjustable rate loans if you are guaranteed to be relocated out of Tupelo MS within the next 5 years. I had a friend who found a 40 year adjustable with 5 year fixed rate. He knew that he had guaranteed relocation buy-out at the end of his assignment so he wasn’t worried about building equity. He ended up paying less than half in a mortgage payment than he would have paid in rent! Short on cash? There are many mortgage lenders in Tupelo MS that now offer 100% financing – no down payment certainly helps keep moving expenses down!

Successful Relocation to Tupelo MS - Real Estate Relocation

There are 5 things that are important to a successful move to Tupelo MS.

Getting a Great Home Deal in Tupelo MS

Home buyers involved in a relocation to Tupelo MS often want both a great deal and to find the perfect new home. Sometimes it is not practical. The most important factor for most home buyers moving their families from out of town is to find a home that has all the features they need, in a good Tupelo MS real estate neighborhood and to not pay more than fair market value for the home. However, when finding a good deal is more important that finding the most suitable home, home buyers need to make arrangements for temporary accommodation. Because finding a great deal AND a home suitable for your family in a short amount of time is nearly impossible. I’ve seen many families over the years live in uncomfortable temporary housing because of the desire to get a steal. Low-ball offers tend to sour negotiation proceedings and rarely end in the buyer getting a good deal. However, once you have found a suitable home for your family, you should obviously try to get the best possible deal in that situation.

Your first step is to request a FREE “Relocation to Tupelo MS” relocation package (click on link above). Then, a top Tupelo MS Real Estate agent will contact you and send you information on homes in Tupelo MS. Your BuyersUSA Relocation Tupelo MS real estate agent should be able to research the motivation of the seller, give you information about the sales prices of other homes in Tupelo MS. Then you can make a fair offer towards the low end of what you know the seller would be able to take. Removing contingencies such as financing (cash offer) or selling your current home may allow the seller to be more open to lower offers.

A Tupelo MS Relocation can be as easy or as difficult as you want. To make your relocation to Tupelo MS as smooth as possible, request the Free “Relocation to Tupelo MS” real estate information package today! It’s the first step to finding all the houses for Sale in Tupelo MS, AND an agent experienced real estate!

MH%92s VOODOO Experience 2011 coverage A.K.A--- Lisa Papale's TOP 10 awesome things about VOODOO!!!!!!
05/17/2012

by Lisa Papale

Photos by Clay Hardwick

November 15, 2011

I have a confession to make. Until this year, I had never attended the Voodoo Music Experience. I know, I know—as a native New Orleanian, it’s shameful. Sacrilege, even. But thanks to the lovely folks at Mississippi Happening, I got the opportunity of a lifetime: I was sent to this year’s festival to cover the action and interview some amazing bands, so that our readers could get a feel for the experience as if they were right there with me. I had an amazing time, for sure!

So, here goes:

THE TOP TEN MOST AWESOME THINGS ABOUT VOODOO 2011

1. Seeing bands I love and have wanted to see.

Naturally, it makes sense that the best part of any music festival would be the music. At Voodoo, though, there is just so much to see—with six stages, it’s next to impossible to see every single performance that is going on. There is literally always a performance going on during the festival—which isn’t generally a problem, until two bands that you really want to see happen to have overlapping performance times. Which happened to me a lot, actually. That’s ok, though—I still got to see every band I wanted to see before I had to leave Sunday afternoon.

Mates of State

Husband-and-wife duo Mates of State wowed the crowd on Friday afternoon at Le Ritual, Voodoo’s main stage.

“Maracas” got everyone in a good mood.

Band of Horses

Band of Horses performed songs from their latest album, Infinite Arms. Front-man, Ben Bridwell.

Band of Horses bassist, Bill Reynolds.

Major Lazer

Major Lazer threw an amazing party during his set on the Le Plur stage, Friday afternoon.

Major Lazer wasn’t afraid to get a little up-close-and-personal with his fans. In fact, by the end of his set, several dozen fans were pulled on stage to dance.

Soundgarden

Soundgarden was the band to see Friday night at Le Ritual.

Fans and press alike were excited to see Soundgarden perform classics like “Black Hole Sun.”

Girl Talk

On Saturday night at the Le Plur stage, mash-up artist Girl Talk took to the stage dressed like Freddy Krueger.

It didn’t take long at all for the party to get kicking during Girl Talk’s set.

Girl Talk’s set was definitely a Voodoo-worthy blowout—a high-energy performance full of pyrotechnics, confetti, and costumes.

Blink-182

Blink-182 headlined Le Ritual on Saturday night. I nearly lost it when they played hits like “What’s My Age Again?” and “The Rock Show.”

Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker.

Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man cooled things down at the Bingo! Parlour Le Carnival stage on Sunday afternoon.

Portugal. The Man played songs from their latest album, In the Mountain in the Cloud. This was the set I was most looking forward to during the entire weekend—it definitely lived up to my expectations!

2. Discovering bands that I am now obsessed with.

While some people are primarily concerned with just seeing the bands they know and love perform at festivals like Voodoo, I was most excited about getting to see bands I’d either just been introduced to or had never even heard of at all. Luckily, this year’s lineup provided a number of amazing opportunities to be exposed to great artists I otherwise probably wouldn’t have found on my own.

Quintron and Miss Pussycat

I couldn’t get enough of the offbeat stylings of Quintron and Miss Pussycat.

Miss Pussycat shakes her maracas at the Bingo! Parlour.

Quintron.

Other performers I saw over the weekend that I am now more than moderately obsessed with include: The Wombats, Peelander-Z, Fitz and the Tantrums, The Bangerz, and The Limousines.

3. Hanging out with some amazing musicians.

Part of my trip to this year’s festival included conducting some interviews with some bands for Mississippi Happening! I was excited to sit down and chat with these amazingly talented people—keep your eyes peeled for these upcoming stories, right here at MH!

Kora Konnection

Kora Konnection, a group of traditional African performers, delighted and educated its audiences Friday afternoon at the Preservation Hall stage.

I was thrilled to sit and talk with drummer Jeff Klein after Kora Konnection’s set.

Fort Knox Five

Before our interview with Fort Knox Five, we got to check out their quick performance at the Toyota Free Yr Radio tent.

I got to sit and chat with three of the four core members of Fort Knox Five, Steve Raskin, Jon Horvath, and Rob Myers.

Later on Saturday afternoon, I got to see Fort Knox Five in action during their set on Le Plur.

Happy Talk Band

New Orleans natives Happy Talk Band rocked the Bingo! Parlour Saturday afternoon.

Happy Talk Band.

I got to chat with them about their show coming up this weekend at the Ole Tavern on George Street in Jackson, MS.

Fishbone

Fishbone bassist, John Norwood Fisher, guitarist, Rocky George, & trombonist Jay Armant jam at the Bingo! Parlour on Sunday afternoon.

Fishbone singer and saxophonist, Angelo Moore.

Fishbone’s Angelo is returned to the stage after a crowd surf. I was lucky enough to chat with Moore and Fisher at the festival.

4. Taking photos in the press pit.

On Sunday, photographer Clay Hardwick graciously gave me a chance to take photos from the press pit, so I could get to experience the festival from another perspective. Now, how could I pass that up?

GIVERS

I got to shoot the first song of Givers’ set on Sunday at the Bud Light /WWOZ stage. It’s surreal to get to photograph one of your favorite bands, for sure. After “Saw You First,” I had to bow out and leave the professional photography to Clay.

Givers put on a high energy show that Clay and I both had a lot of fun shooting.

(Don’t forget to check out MH’s interview with Givers’ Tiffany Lamson!)

After a (relatively) successful experience in the pit, Clay said I needed to experience photography from the big pit at the main stage, Le Ritual.

The pit at the main stage can get pretty crowded, especially during sets like Band of Horses.

We decided I would shoot the Odd Future set Sunday afternoon, so I could get the chance to photograph an exciting group. So Clay gave me a crash course in manual photography and sent me on my way.

Despite some slight hang-ups with the Odd Future set, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to photograph the group. I definitely learned a lot about photographing performers, and consequently, I’ve developed a profound respect for photographers and what they do.

5. Seeing some amazing art installations.

People tend to forget that Voodoo is not just about the music—while the music is a crucial part of the festival’s success, the overall experience is what the festival tries to offer its supporters. Large art installations can be found throughout the festival, and they certainly do add another level of interest and importance to the festival.

Giant mushrooms popped up around the Bingo! Parlour and Bud Light/WWOZ stages.

Artists worked on a large-scale collaborative piece all throughout the festival weekend.

Large mechanical statues were prominently displayed throughout City Park.

6. Shopping at some nifty boutiques.

Not only is the Voodoo Experience a great place to catch shows and view amazing art, but it’s also a good place to get your shop on! Dozens of local vendors offer everything from jewelry to hair extensions to voodoo dolls. Shopping at Voodoo is definitely a great way to support local small businesses!

7. Eating alligator for the first time.

Tastes like chicken.

8. Getting amazing ideas for costumes.

Halloween in New Orleans has always been one of my favorite times of the year, simply because you get to see a lot of humor and creativity… but put a few thousand music-loving festival goers in one place, and you see a slew of incredible (and incredibly funny) costumes. It’s just one more thing that adds to the overall charm and appeal of the Voodoo Experience.

9. Making new friends and catching up with old friends.

Aside from meeting talented artists through interviews, I also got to see several talented artists that Mississippi Happening considers dear friends.

Rotary Downs

I was happy to get to see our good friends, New Orleans staple Rotary Downs, perform at the Bingo! Parlour on Saturday afternoon.

The New Orleans Bingo! Show

I was also really glad I could catch up with Ronnie Numbers and Trixie Minx from The New Orleans Bingo! Show on Saturday night! (Luckily, this time, I didn’t have to do the robot.)

10. Being a part of something bigger than myself.

Last but not least, probably one of the most interesting aspects of the Voodoo Experience is the understanding that you’ve spent a weekend with thousands of complete strangers, yet each person will go home with memories of an experience shared by all. It’s simply remarkable to see so many people come together and share their love of music, art, and New Orleans.

***

For my first Voodoo Experience—not too shabby, New Orleans. Now, as a hardened festival veteran, I’m looking forward to next year’s shindig!

Good luck...and see you on TV!!!! Love love love!

A NOTE FROM: TUPELO UNDERGROUND

$$$

A film-loving group that puts together a unique film festival in Tupelo that generates income for all filmmakers involved!

$$$

Hey! It's our 3rd year of Tupelo Underground. We didn't realize what a success it would be when we started and it just keeps growing.

I'm writing all of you local filmmakers (and associates of filmmakers) so that you can help us get out the word for submissions and also help us get people in the seats. We accept submissions from all over the world, but we do like to showcase our home talent.

So if you have something to submit, please do so. We don't have a limit on submissions and we don't charge a submission fee. This is a one day festival so keep in mind that we don't have time but for a few feature length films. (Deadline is May 31st)

Also, if you have something in the works that you'd like to submit that's NOT finished, please just let us know ahead of time so that we get an idea of who wants to be involved.

You can help in other ways too...promotion and helping to get sponsorship. We haven't yet sorted out where we're getting a PA. Sponsorship will get you a mention in the program.

As an added bonus, filmmakers, we split the profits (any money left after covering promotional materials, rental, etc.) with each film that we show after the night is over!

-Daniel Guaqueta, MH

July is going to be a fun month! Summer is officially in full swing, and to boot, Mississippi Happening is bringing something new to our table. We are starting our "Bring The Music Home" series July 26. "Bring The Music Home" is an effort to bring touring bands to Mississippi for the sole purpose of encouraging networking opportunities for our local bands serious about taking their music outside of Mississippi.

July 26, we kick off this journey at Sneaky Beans in Jackson, MS with live performances!!!

We'll have The Forms from Brooklyn, NY. They run their own record label; so this is a great opportunity to come and ask questions about how they run it, book their nationwide tours, and generate a living doing what they love.

Also, if you are unable to make the show at Sneaky Beans, no worries, we'll have a Live Online VIDEOCAST of the whole show right here on the Mississippi Happening webpage!

Hope to see y'all out!
