Many of us heard Hyundai’s story in which they promised to let owners get rid of their vehicle should they lose their job. The auto company was acutely aware that people were afraid to make big purchases. So Hyundai announced it’s Assurance Program at the beginning of 2009, a pledge to let people return new vehicle purchases within the first year of ownership without penalty should they lose their source of income.  This incentive apparently worked as Hyundai rebounded from a 48 percent sales drop to a 14 percent sales increase in that time frame according to AutoTropolis.com.

While having that security on your newly purchased car is comforting, should you lose your job your biggest worry would be a place of residency! Rest assured there is a program called Lay-off Proof Lease which provides 60 days of rent-free living if you lose your job.  And after that time, if you don’t find a new job you may cancel your lease without penalty. Can you imagine that? If you lose your job and you live in an apartment community that is a participating property, you can live rent free for 60 days (restrictions do apply).  Bet you’re wondering what properties near you are participating properties, huh?

Well, that is easy to find! If you go onto ForRent.com and click on the search page you will see in the middle of the page ‘Search for Apartments by Name’, click on ‘Property Management Companies’. If you type in ‘Goldberg Co., Inc.‘, you will find a list of apartment communities that are participating properties in Ohio such as Granda Gardens Apartments in Cleveland and Settler’s Landing in Streetsboro. Are you looking for an apartment in North Carolina? Legacy Crossroads in Carry or Legacy North Hills and Barrington Place in Raleigh, North Carolina offer the lay-off proof lease.  How about Florida? Apartment communities include Cypress Grand and Westwood Reserve at Citrus Park in Tampa.  How about if you’re living in Texas and want to find an apartment community offering this incentive? Don’t worry, Toscana at Sonterra Apartments in San Antonio will take care of you!

Goldberg Co., Inc. prides itself on having a level of maintenance and management that is unparalleled in the real estate industry.  The apartment residents and office tenants are proud to be in some of the most attractive buildings and surrounded with the most up-to-date facilities and highest quality on-site management.

During these economic times, uncertainty is guaranteed.  There are very few people whose job is 100% recession proof, so having an apartment community that understands should a situation arise is very reassuring.  Weathering this economic storm would certainly be easier with more companies taking on this incentive.

Super Bowl XLIII.  Another opportunity to entertain in your quaint little apartment.  Oh, don’t fret.  Transform that small space into a sports haven.  Actually, it’s quite simple to decorate.  Since this year’s match-up includes the Cardinals and the Steelers (”Here we go Steelers, here we go… whoop whoop”), throw up some team colors.  Of course you’ll have White and Red for Arizona and the famous Black and Gold for Pittsburgh.

Super Bowl parties are yet another way to bring family and friends together for a good time.  I love it because everybody comes sporting their team’s colors, whether it be jerseys, t-shirts, or in my cousin’s case, ‘terrible towels’ serving as makeshift capes and Steelers earrings.  You can even send out invitations flaunting each team’s logos.  The last time the Steelers were in the Super Bowl, we used black and gold paper plates, another great example of how you can get creative with your decorations.   And the best part… FOOD.  Cook up some buffalo wings, pigs in a blanket and nachos to start.  Don’t forget the seven layer dip for the nachos…I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!  Of course you can never go wrong with some potato chips and popcorn.  My stomach is saying ‘YES!!’ Right now!

Super Bowl XLIII will be played this Sunday, February 1^st in Tampa, Fla.  Now for those of you who watch the Super Bowl for the game, like myself, not just to see who’s performing or how outrageous advertisers will be in there commercials, kick-off is scheduled for 6:28 PM EST.  For everyone else, they’ll be performances before kick-off, beginning early Sunday afternoon.

So now for my predictions.  Honestly, this is a no-brainer.  The Steelers finished the regular season with a 12-4 record, while the Cardinals had a less than modest record, 9-7.  Some even thought it was a fluke that they made it to the playoffs (myself included).   The Steelers have the #1 defense in the league.  That right there says it all. What’s that famous old adage…”Defense Wins Championships”.  So even though Arizona may have a ‘high-powered’ offense, averaging about 366 total yards per game, they’re no match for the Steel Curtain’s D, who held teams to just over 237 yards per game.  During the regular season, the Cardinals averaged just over 292 passing yards per game…HOWEVER, the Steelers defense held teams to just fewer than 157 passing yards per game.

With all of that being said, the outcome is clear.  The Black and Gold will reign again… and my cousin, a die-hard Steelers fan, will become more obnoxious than ever…
