‘Extreme Makeover’ Home In Foreclosure
It looks like another family who got a new home from ABC’s ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ can’t afford the mortgage.
Five years ago, the Wofford family’s home received a new house on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” show. But now the family’s Encinitas home may be weeks away from foreclosure. For the past two years, the Woffords have been fighting just to live in their home.The family — 8 kids and dad, Dr. Brian Wofford — is still happy despite the prospect of losing their home.
Brian Wofford, a chiropractor, hopes to modify the loan, but it hasn’t come through yet, the story said. If it doesn’t, the home will be on the auction block. Last month, two Las Vegas ‘Extreme Makeover’ homes hit the market after the family’s were unable to keep up the mortgage payments.

Will 50 Cent sell this house … or Die Tryin’? Curtis Jackson III, better known as rapper 50 Cent, listed this home back in 2007 and has since made several price reductions totaling $7.6 million. He started out at $18.5 million, then chopped the price in late 2008 to $14.5 million. Now, you can pick up Fitty’s house for a cool $10.9 mil.
The rapper purchased the mansion in 2003 for $4.1 million from Mike Tyson’s ex-wife. He then spent between $3.5 and $6 million remodeling the 50,000-square-foot home, which includes a disco, a theater, a gym, a helipad and two pools. Though the home’s address was initially 48 Poplar Hills Drive, he changed the house number to — you guessed it — 50.

Statuesque actress Uma Thurman has just listed her stunning New York City townhouse for sale at $14.2 million. Located on a bucolic block of West 9th Street off lower Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village, the elegant 25-ft. wide, five-story, 5,086-sq-ft. pre-war brownstone built c.1900 features seven bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and six fireplaces.
Described as a “rare and spectacular offering” by Sotheby’s International Realty, its centerpiece is a grand, elegant parlor with an oversized bay window at the front and southern sun flooding in from the rear. The dining area overlooks the stylized south garden, which has its own outdoor gas fireplace, and has direct access via a stair from the terrace. The full-floor master suite and sitting area have grand proportions and ample closets. Four additional bedrooms and a full stair to a roof deck complete the upper floors. The garden level has an under-stoop entry, a separate guest apartment and a large family room which opens directly onto the garden. It seems Uma, who has not confirmed ownership of the property, may be downgrading; last summer she purchased a Gramercy Park duplex for $2.65 million.

It is the start of a new life for most college freshmen and you are no exception. The expectations are enormous and you have not experienced anything like moving into a dorm your first year of college.
Here are some ideas that may be useful :
1. Spend time with loved ones.
Your parents understand the meaning of you ‘leaving home’ and know the change that is coming. Enjoy your parents, go out to dinner, vacation with them, and just sit and talk. Believe it or not you WILL miss them. Don’t forget your grandparents too. Make it a summer to remember for all.
2. Money, money, money.
If you haven’t already, now is the time to get a good job and put away as much as possible. Books, food, visiting friends at other schools, and going out requires some additional funds that you may not be getting from mom and dad. You may also need additional equipment that is not included in your tuition costs. A computer, cell phone, or perhaps a small microwave may be needed for the room unless your roommate(s) is bringing one.
3. Meet your roomie.
You will be given the contact information about your upcoming roommate from your college. Get in touch so you can get an idea as to what you will need to bring and what they will be supplying. It is also a good idea to get to know who you will be spending the next several months with in close quarters. He or she may be your next life long friend or you may end up moving out asap.
Give your new roomie a call, send them an email, text message or find them on Facebook. Just be sure to get in touch before you have to move into the dorm.
When you move in remember to call Go Mini’s for the best service. Go Mini’s portable storage and its mobile storage containers offer the very best quality portable storage units at an exceptional value for your moving and storage needs.

Talk-show host Leeza Gibbons has had her home on and off the market for the last couple of years. Gibbons has placed her longtime Hollywood Hills compound back on the market for $6.85 million from a high of $8.75 million several years ago. The 11,137-square-foot Mediterranean is behind gates and up a long, curving private driveway and the landscaped grounds include a pond, pool and separate hot tub. The home was built in 1926 and was owned in the 1940’s by actress Joan Crawford.
The main house has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms over three stories and includes themed bedrooms for the children. Other amenities include a library, office, sauna, gym and a wine cellar. Gibbons remodeled the home and added a large separate guest house which has an art studio.

Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, and reality shows like Extreme Makeover, and Survivor have large payouts to the big winners. But even if you win you may not be happy when it comes time to pay the taxes and other fees from those winnings. It is an unhappy ending that isn’t that uncommon. All contestants and participants are given the rules in advance. A spokesperson from Extreme Makeover Home Edition says the show offers its families financial counseling to try to help them understand what they’re facing. Few of the families that win the HGTV Dream House can afford to make the payments on their fabulous new home and pay the taxes owed. That’s because the IRS treats your winnings as income.
So if a home is worth $2 million, and you win it, the IRS will simply add the appraised value of the property to your annual income and expect you to pay taxes at the highest rate. At least two Extreme Makeover participants have filed for bankruptcy.
Game show contestants and reality show participants love to win stuff, but all television shows struggle with the question of the inevitable tax bill. The only way to write a happy ending is to understand how much you’re really winning, how much it will really cost you, and how big a piece Uncle Sam will ultimately take.
You can be a winner when moving with Go Mini’s. Go Mini’s portable storage and its mobile storage containers offer the very best quality portable storage units at an exceptional value for your moving and storage needs. Go to www.gominis.com for a free quote and find the dealer nearest you.
