Ameti’s Pizza in

Pequanoock is not

just your average

pizzeria. Known for their

excellent food and service,

Ameti’s strives to be a cham-

pion of the community. In

fact, the owner, Shpendim

Ameti, was born and raised in

Pequannock, graduating from

Pequannock High School in

2001. In only six years

“Shpendi” (as most people

know him by) worked his way

to becoming a business owner

in his hometown.

This, inherently, is where

his sense of pride in his busi-

ness derives. Ameti’s believes

exceptional customer service

is the setting to allow any

good business to thrive.

Ameti’s also makes sure to set

a positive example, ending

each day by donating pies to

charity.

local small business, you are

The names in this story

are being withheld to

protect their identity.

Tragically, twin boys

were separated at 4 years of

age due to the fact that their

father murdered their mother

and there were no relatives

willing or available to take-in

the 2 boys together, dictating

their separate future participa-

tion with the State’s foster

care program. The boy’s father

constantly beat them and

their mother while they were

together, every day of their

lives. Their mother’s face was

a punching bag until finally

the bully beat her so badly he

inflicted irreparable brain

damage, killing her!

Throughout the years of their marriage, this man was

constantly inebriated and

barely worked at any mean-

ingful job. He had no formal

or specific education or

training and pretty much

drifted through life until

bumping into the woman

who would become the

mother of his twins. He is

spending the rest of his life in

jail for his horrific crime and

the only difference between

his life before and after being

a prison inmate, is the fact

that he now lives in a con-

fined space. And what of the

man’s two sons?

Interestingly enough,

this question intrigued a

young research reporter who

decided to seek out and the

separated twins to conduct aresearch paper, the reason we

know this story today. What

he discovered might impress

you. After months of search-

ing, finally finding and inter-

viewing the boys, then in

their 30’s, here is what he dis-

covered.

On the streets of Chicago

lay a man in a cardboard box.

He was drunk, burned out,

alone and destitute. His

hands were calloused, blood

stained and bruised. He was

wearing torn soiled jeans with

a red filthy plaid flannel shirt

when approached by the

research reporter, who asked

him if he would answer a few

questions, which he did. The

twin was very vocal as he was

very interested in hearing the

questions and why anyone

would want to know either

anything about him or his

opinion about anything. The

interview lasted only a few

minutes as the twin had little

to say. He told the researcherthat he was an alcoholic and

lost his wife and kids because

he couldn’t provide for them

and because he couldn’t con-

trol his anger. He was a vio-

lent abusive man and walked

out on his family, unable to

keep any job, ending up in the

street. The last question

though, possessed the answer

the researcher was looking for,

but, I’ll tell you what it was in

a moment.

Later in the week, the

researcher caught up with the

dirty, street bum’s twin broth-

er. He was found in the pent-

house office suite of one of the

two tallest office buildings in

the city, which he owned. His

secretary announced the

arrival of the research reporter

who was quickly summoned in

to meet the twin. Upon entry

of the suite, the researcher

was surrounded by pictures of

the twin with his wife and

children taken at destinations

around the globe. Through hisquestioning the researcher

found out that this man

employed 100 people and

built a multi-million dollar

business. He sat on three

charitable board of directors

while financially supporting

three more. He was the assis-

tant coach for his son’s town

football team and had a wife

he loved and adored who felt

the same way about him.

The twin was very proud to

tell the researcher that he

loved his life and his family.

Upon being asked about his

twin brother, he replied that

he didn’t know him because

his brother refused to

acknowledge his requests for

a visit. “He rebuked every

overture I’ve made to get to

know him and introduce

myself,” he said.

The researcher had one

final question for the twin,

the same final question he

asked his brother:

“To what situation orevent in your life brought you

to where you are today?” he

asked. To which, both of the

boys answered without hesita-

tion and with exactly the

same words:

“With a father like mine,

what else could I become?”

The researcher was taken

aback with astonishment.

With a father like mine, what

else could I become? The con-

viction of the decisions made

by these two individuals and

the foundation for them was

certainly justified but, diamet-

rically divergent. The

research reporter had a mes-

sage now to tell the world

about attitude, choice and

rationale. It’s true that we

become the sum of the parts

that comprise our lives, but,

not without choice, direction

and drive. It is not easy to be astreet dweller, nor a self-made

multi-millionaire, but, the

decision to pursue either des-

tination is simply a choice

with an investment of perspi-

ration behind the inspiration.

Indecision is still a decision,

might as well decide now,

with the right to decide differ-

ently later, rather than mak-

ing no decision at all.

The same is true when

planning your financial

future. Decisions must be

made as to how much and

where to invest, but not why

to invest as why is not an

option. One may have many

different financial goals to

prepare and plan for yet, they

all have the same require-

ment. First you must earn

excess money to: begin tofund your goals, continue to

fund them over the months

and years ahead, while

increasing the funding for

them to succeed. There is no

other way. Working with a

financial advisor may be the

best decision you may ever

make to “increase your alti-

tude!” Don’t have a financial

advisor or unhappy with your

current relationship, why not

give me a call for a no cost, no

commitment nor obligation

appointment?

Did

youknow?

Biosolids are an organic amendment available to gardeners.According to the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency, biosolids are carefully treated and monitored residualsformed at sewage treatment facilities. They may be recycled into

fertilizers to stimulate plant growth. Biosolids may help reducethe need for chemical fertilizers. Biosolids can be safe to use, buthomeowners should be cautious about heavy metal content,pathogen levels and salts. Rely on only Class A biosolids, whichhave been treated to reduce the bacterial content and areapproved for use in production agriculture. Home gardeners maywant to avoid biosolids in vegetable gardens because of thepotential for heavy metal content seeping into the produce.

Too much household

clutter is not only

unsightly but also can

contribute to a stressful envi-

ronment. Children’s toys are

often key contributors to

homes overrun with clutter,

but with a growing family and

birthday and holiday gifts

streaming in, it can be chal-

lenging for parents to tame toy-

related clutter.

Parents who have hosted

play dates know that once the

fun ends their youngsters’

rooms often appear overrun

with toys. Kids have a funny

knack of taking out every toy

they own without putting

their toys away. But with a few

tips, anyone can conquer the

clutter created by toys.

Take stock of what you

have. Taking inventory helps

to determine which toys can

ultimately be donated or dis-

carded. Look for duplicates,

similar items, broken toys, and

items that are seldom used.

Start to organize. When

you have everything laid out

in clear view, start to divide

and conquer. Create groups in

which to sort the toys. Dolls

should be in one pile, building

blocks in another and so on.

Figure out a system that works

for your family. You may find

that active, sports-related

items can be moved to the

garage, while board games and

books may be moved to a fam-

ily room or a community clos-

et in the house to free up more

space in playrooms. Seasonal

toys can be stored away in an

attic or basement until they

are needed.

Create accessible storage.

Toys should be stored where

kids can easily access them.

Clear bins are great for stor-

age, and such bins come in a

variety of sizes. Construct

cubbies in the playroom

where these bins can be kept.

Be sure they are nearly ground

level and not too heavy so

that children can easily get to

their toys come play time.

Construct or buy a toy

chest. A toy chest can house

larger toys and act as a recepta-

cle for fast cleanup when kids

need to tidy up before company

arrives. Such chests are good

for storing larger cars and

trucks or the hordes of stuffed

animals kids accumulate.

Shelving gets things off

the floor. Display collectibles

that cannot be damaged on

shelves. This makes sure they

are still on display but not in

jeopardy of being mishandled

by curious youngsters.

Donate toys kids no

longer use. It can be a tough

job, but children should work

with you to thin out their toy

collections. Designate a cer-

tain portion of items that

need to go. Bring them to a

consignment shop or donate

them to kids in need.

Organizing youngsters’

toy collections can be a diffi-

cult job, but such organization

is essential to keep a tidy home.

The darkness falls; from the moon it flees,

while gathered wolves howl at a strange mild breeze.

And the whitest winter, so pristine

melts away into an entirely different scene.

A golden sun thaws the earth,

and my face, it glows with wide-eyed mirth!

Trunks, once rigid, now stand at ease

in sheers of sunlight streaming on snowy eaves.

As the forest sheds it’s fleece of snow,

every creature comes forth from their winters’ woe.

My coat falls from me, and with ready, quick feet

I run through the thicket, perfectly replete.

Many dog owners

never give a second

thought to the

health of their dogs’ ears.

Unless Fido isn’t answering the

dinner bell, pet owners may fail

to recognize signs that man’s

best friend is dealing with ear

trouble.

Though it’s easily over-

looked, maintaining a dog’s

ears is something owners must

do throughout their four-legged

friend’s life. Such maintenance

is simple, and owners who

remember to make it a part of

their dog’s grooming routine

can help ensure their dog stays

clean and healthy for years to

come.

Why must I prioritize ear

maintenance for my dog?

The anatomy of dogs’ ears

is reason enough for dog own-

ers to make ear maintenance

part of the grooming routine

they have for their pets. The

inner ears of dogs are curvy and

provide many spots for bacte-

ria, parasites and yeast to hide

and grow. The winding nature

of dogs’ inner ears also can

make it difficult to expel anydebris that enters the ear canal,

and trapped debris can cause

infection.

What are some signs that

suggest my dog’s ears aren’t up to

snuff?

Much like their owners,

dogs may suffer from wax

buildup in their ears. But

unlike humans, dogs who have

wax buildup in their ears may

be coping with microscopic ear

mites, which can infect dogs’

inner and external ear canals

and lead to infection if left

untreated.

Ear mites can be difficult

to see, but the presence of a

black or brown waxy secretion

may be indicative of ear mites.

Dogs with ear mites may also

rub or scratch their ears exces-

sively, and that behavior can

lead to ruptured blood vessels

within the dog’s ear flap, whichwill look swollen and cause the

dog considerable pain.

Other signs that dogs may

be having problems with their

ears include redness in and

around the ear, swelling, crusty

skin, and hair loss. Any of the

aforementioned symptoms

should be brought to the atten-

tion of a veterinarian immedi-

ately.

How can I protect my dog

from ear troubles?

Simple and routine main-

tenance is often enough to

safeguard dogs from ear trou-

bles. Apply a cotton ball damp-

ened with hydrogen peroxide

or mineral oil to dirty areas of dogs’ inner ears. The skin

inside dogs’ inner ears is deli-

cate, so be gentle when clean-

ing such areas, even asking

your veterinarian to show you

the proper technique if you are

concerned you might hurt the

animal.

Some dogs, not unlike

some dog owners, may grow

hair in their ears. While the

hair is relatively harmless, it’s

still a good idea to discuss itsgrowth with your veterinarian,

who can teach you how to

remove the hair or even let you

know if the hair needs to be

removed at all.

It’s important that dog

owners do not clean their dog’s

ears too often. The skin inside

dogs’ ears is very sensitive, so

over cleaning the ears can

cause irritation.

When cleaning dogs’ ears,dog owners should never insert

anything inside their dogs’ ear

canals.

Dog owners who let their

dogs go swimming from time to

time should dry the dogs’ ears

immediately after they get out

of the water. Make sure ears are

as dry as possible before letting

Fido run off, as wet ears can

cause infection and irritation.

Ears may not be the first

thing dog owners think of

when trying to protect

their pets from potentiallypainful health problems. But

ear maintenance should be a

part of every dog owner’s dog-

grooming routine.

April 15, the tax filing

deadline for 2014

federal income tax

returns, will be here before

you know it. If you won’t be

able to file your income tax

return by then, be sure to file

for an extension using Form

4868. The extension is auto-matically granted and gives

you until October 15, 2015, to

file your return.

Be aware that an exten-

sion of time to file does not

extend the due date for pay-

ment. Instead, you must esti-

mate how much you’ll owe and

pay that amount with the

extension request. The IRS

will assess interest on any

unpaid balance. In addition,unless you pay at least 90% of

your estimated tax liability by

April 15, you may owe a late-

payment penalty.

Even if you can submit

your tax return by the April 15

deadline, in some circum-

stances getting an extension

might still be a good idea.

For example, say you can’t

pay all of the tax you owe by

April 15. An extension willallow you to defer paying part

of the balance until October

15. As long as you meet the

prior-year safe harbor rule or

pay 90% of your total current

tax liability by April 15, you

should not be subject to penal-

ties on the balance due. And

even though you’ll owe interest

on the shortfall, the interest

rate charged by the IRS may be

less than the cost of borrowingelsewhere.

Are you self-employed? If

you need a few extra months to

fund your retirement plan fully,

you might benefit by filing for

an extension. To be deductible,

retirement plan contributions

must be made prior to the due

date of your tax return, includ-

ing extensions. By filing Form

4868, you have up to six addi-

tional months to fund yourplan. Another benefit of filing

for an extension: If you don’t

already have a retirement plan,

you can use the extra time to

establish a SEP-IRA.

To discuss whether you

can benefit from an extension

of time to file your tax return,

please give us a call.

Circa 2000. I’ve failed

many times in my

life. I’ve also had

many successes. Both

extremes have been part of my

life. “The thrill of victory and

the agony of defeat.” I have

lived through both.

While victory and suc-

cess have driven me forwardto do greater things, I’ve prob-

ably learned more from fail-

ure. That’s because long ago, I

decided to let failure be my

life coach, inviting it to teach

me what I really needed to

know.

Along the way, I decided

that I would win in life. I also

decided to live a life that

would make a difference long

after I was gone. I didn’t want

to be someone who lived

comfortably now, but did

nothing to make the world (or

my local community) a better

place. I also decided to help

other men succeed where I

had failed, and to teach themto be husbands and fathers in

ways that I wasn’t taught.

Think about it...

Failure can rob us of who

we can be. It is how we handle

failure that will truly define

us. There is a difference

between failing and failure.

We all fail at some point in

something. But it is we who

allow the label of “failure” to

fall on us. When you fail and

learn, you grow. When you

don’t learn it’s because failure

has become a comfortable

friend. You don’t need friendslike that!

Bottled Water

A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council shows that 1/3 of the bottled water

tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can alsobe slightly acidic, which may affect your body’s pH balance. Finally, the environmental impact

caused by the production and disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.

Tap Water

Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks and other beverages, but according to the

Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America’s tap water

since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally existin any amount.

Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water

Reverse Osmosis and Distilling are filtering processes, which removes healthy, naturally

occurring minerals in our water. These minerals not only provide good taste, they also serve a

vital function in the healthy balance of our bodies. When stripped of these minerals, this water

becomes unnatural and an aggressive absorber. This can be quite unhealthy. Also, 2 - 3 gallonsof water are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced; again, a very negative impact

on our environment and ecosystem.

To find out what we found out, have your water

tested for free, and ask how to receive your

21 day FREE trial of healthy water.

Veins are the thin-walled blood ves-sels that drain de-oxygenated bloodfrom the capillarybeds of the body

and deliver it back to the rightatrium of the heart for pumpinginto the lungs to be re-oxy-genated. Valves in the veins help

maintain blood flow in places suchas the legs where the blood pres-sure has to push blood uphill,against the force of gravity. De-spite the valves, accumulation of blood in leg veins can stretch thethin walls, resulting in varicoseveins. Because the vein walls areso thin, factors like aging and preg-nancy can actually weaken anddamage your veins.

HOW YOUR VEINS CHANGE As you age, all of the blood ves-sels in your body tend to become

less flexible and less elastic. In theveins, this could mean that thewalls expand, but don’t return totheir natural shape.

During pregnancy blood volumeincreases greatly. This can causeveins to enlarge. Plus, pressure onthe large veins behind the uteruscauses the blood to slow in its re-

turn to the heart. For these rea-sons, varicose veins in the legs aremore common in pregnancy.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN VEINSCHANGE When veins expand, the valvesin those veins either become dam-aged, or don’t close properly. Theresult is abnormal backward flowthrough the open valve. This is re-ferred to as venous reflux, which

causes blood to collect, causingveins to remain expanded, result-ing in varicose and spider veins.

This condition can also lead toswelling, skin changes and leg ul-cers in your lower leg and ankles.

At the new ACP Vein Centerwe offer these, and other officebased, minimally invasive optionsfor the treatment of CVI and as-sociated venous issues. To deter-mine if you are a candidate for

treatment, please contact ustoday to schedule a consultation.

Aroaring fireplace on achilly day provides a

welcome, aesthetically

appealing respite from the cold.

Fireplaces are typically used

throughout winter, but when

spring rolls around, many home-

owners no longer feel the need tolight a fire. As fireplace season

winds down, homeowners can

take the following steps to close

their fireplaces for the warm

weather seasons ahead.

Begin the cleanup

Repeatedly lighting firesresults in an accumulation of ash

and residual wood debris. Clean

out what you can by hand and

discard the soot. To conduct a

more thorough cleaning, use a

high-powered garage vacuum to

clear out any remaining ashesfrom crevices and other parts of

the firebox.

Hire a chimney sweep

A fully functioning fire-

place chimney should be swept

annually by a certified chimney

sweep. He or she will removesoot and any creosote from the

inside of the chimney. Creosote

is highly flammable and can

cause considerable damage if it

catches fire.

A professional chimney

sweeping also reduces theamount of dirt and odor that will

continue to enter a home after

the fireplace has been retired for

the season. Damp spring weather

can moisten soot trapped in a

chimney, causing it to smell.

Cleaning and deodorizing can

help keep rooms fresh.

Ask for an inspection

Ask a chimney sweep to

inspect your chimney in addition

to cleaning it. A sweep can lookfor leaks and cracks, and he or

she should also look at the flash-

ing system and rain cap, which

can prevent water infiltration.

You don’t want to learn your

chimney is in poor shape during

a heavy spring rainfall. Ask that

also be checked for functionality

and good repair.

Close the damper

Homeowners should close

the dampers on wood-burning

fireplaces when closing their fire-

places for the season. Doing so

prevents animals from making

nests inside the chimney and

possibly gaining entry into your

home. Closing the damper also

makes the home more efficient

by not letting air escape throughthe chimney.

Those with gas fireplaces

should leave the damper open at

all times to prevent a gas buildup

in the home in the case of a gas

leak. However, homeowners may

want to extinguish the pilot light

for a gas fireplace in the spring to

reduce energy usage.

Make it attractive

Some homeowners choose

to dress up a fireplace to make it

look more appealing in the off-

season. Flowers, plants, candles,

or decorative accents can be

placed in the firebox to add

style to a home.

When closing a fireplace

for the season, homeowners can

benefit from hiring a professional

to ensure everything is done cor-

rectly and the fireplace will be in

top shape and ready to warm

everyone up next winter.

Weekend brunch

hosts who want to

forgo more familiar

fare can spice things up with

crêpes, a beloved dish in France

that is popular in many other

areas of the globe as well. The

following recipe for “Asparagus

& Ham Crêpes” from Lou

Seibert Pappas’ “Crêpes: Sweet

& Savory Recipes for the

Home Cook” (Chronicle

Books) is a versatile dish thatcan be made into a vegetarian

offering by simply omitting the

ham.

Asparagus & Ham Crêpes

Makes 8 crêpes

8- 6 or 7 inch garbanzo flour or

savory crêpes (see below)

1 ½ pounds asparagus spears, cut

into 1-inch diagonal lengths

1 egg

1 large sweet white or red onion,

chopped

¾ cup ricotta cheese or natural

cream cheese at room temperature

½ cup shredded Gruyére or

Emmenthal cheese

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan

cheese

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tab minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 tea minced fresh tarragon or dill,

or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon ordill

2 oz honey-baked ham or Black

Forest ham, julienned

Prepare the crêpes.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Steam the onion and asparagus

in a covered container over

boiling water until the asparagus

is crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 min-

utes. In a medium bowl, beat

the egg and mix in the cheeses,

garlic, parsley, tarragon or dill,

ham, and steamed vegetables.

Spoon ½ cup of the filling

in a ribbon down the center of

each crêpe and roll to enclose.

Arrange in a greased 9-by-13-

inch baking dish. Bake in the

oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or

until heated through. Serve at

once.

Savory CrêpesMakes 16 to 18, 6- or 7-inch

crêpes

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/3 cup water

1 cup all-purpose flour, preferably

bleached

¼ tea salt

2 tab butter, melted, plus 2 or 3 tab

butter for coating the pan

In a blender or food

processor, blend the eggs, milk,

water, flour, salt, and the 2

tablespoons melted butter for 5

seconds, or until smooth. Stir

down and repeat if necessary.

Or, to mix by hand, sift the

flour into a medium bowl and

add the salt. Whisk the eggs

until blended, mix in the milk

and water and whisk this mix-

ture into the flour and salt; stirin the 2 tablespoons melted

butter. Cover and refrigerate

for at least 1 hour (2 hours is

preferable) or up to 24 hours.

Gently stir the batter if it

has separated. Heat a seasoned

6- or 7-inch nonstick crêpe pan

over medium-high heat until

hot. Coat the pan lightly with

butter, lift the pan from the heat

and pour in 2 or 3 tablespoons

of batter, tilting and rotating the

pan to coat the surface. Cook

until almost dry on top and

lightly browned on the edges,

about 1 minute. Loosen the

edges with a metal spatula and

flip the crêpe over using yourfingers or the spatula, then cook

the other side for about 15 sec-

onds, or until lightly browned.

Turn the crêpe out onto a clean

tea towel to cool. Repeat with

the remaining batter, wiping the

pan with butter as needed and

stacking the crêpes as they are

cooked.

For serving immediately,

cover the crêpes with alu-

minum foil and keep them

warm in a preheated 200 F

oven. For serving later, wrap

them in plastic wrap in quanti-

ties intended for each use and

slip them in a self-sealing plas-

tic bag. Refrigerate crêpes forup to 3 days or freeze them for

up to 2 months.

To make garbanzo flour

crêpes, follow the savory crêpe

recipe, but replace the 1 cup

all-purpose flour with 2/3 cup

all-purpose flour and 2/3 cup

garbanzo flour.

With home prices

on the rise, finish-

ing a basement is

the latest trend in real estate.

More and more homeowners

are enjoying the perks of addi-

tional living space, a reduc-

tion in heating and cooling

costs, a healthier home, and,if done right, a more desirable

home when selling.

A finished basement can

be used for virtually anything

and may offer multipurpose

spaces the entire family can

enjoy. Common uses include

additional storage or a media

room, craft room, guest suite,

workshop, or gym. A little

extra room can give a growingfamily space to breathe and provide convenience foreveryday life. An unfinished basementcan be a source of energy loss.

By finishing your basement,

you can expect to see savings

on your heating and cooling

costs. Industry experts recom-

mend finishing the space with

the proper framing, insulation

and vapor barrier to guarantee

a cozy and inviting space.

Insulation plays a key role inthe comfort of your newly

remodeled space and although

its hidden within your walls,

insulation will make sure your

space stays cool in the summer

and warm in the winter.

Retailers suggest using a stone

wool insulation, such as

ROXUL. This recommenda-

tion is also fire and water

repellent and is resistant tomold, mildew, rot and bacteri-

al growth - making your space

healthy and safe.

An added benefit to

expanding downstairs with a

finished basement is the

instant marketability. Many

buyers now demand a well-

finished basement to give

them extra space. Although

you may not immediately

recoup the financial costsprior to selling, you will stand

out among the rest.

Vacation homes may

seem like a luxury only

the very wealthy can

afford, but many people pur-

chase vacation homes as

investments. Vacation homes

give families a place to escape

to where they can spend time

together each summer or win-

ter, but such homes also help

homeowners generate income,

and some homeowners even

find the height of vacation sea-son generates enough rental

income to pay for the second

home year-round.

Personal style goes a long

way toward determining how

to renovate a primary resi-

dence. But men and women

who own vacation homes they

hope to rent out should not

allow their own personal

styles to dictate a vacation

home renovation project. The

following are some additional

things homeowners should

consider before renovating

their vacation homes.

Curb appeal: When renovat-

ing a vacation property, rela-

tively minor updates can dra-

matically improve curb

appeal, which may bear more

weight with prospectiverenters than it would prospec-

tive buyers. Potential buyers

are making a substantial

financial commitment when

they buy a home, so they will

go over a home with a fine

tooth comb. But vacation

renters are making a much

smaller financial commit-

ment, so curb appeal can go a

long way toward encouraging

vacationers to rent your prop-

erty. Repaint a home in a

more vibrant color or replace

old siding with newer materi-

al. Hire a local landscaping

service to tend to the property

throughout vacation season,

and be sure to include updated

photos of your property with

online listings.

Connectivity: While vaca-

tion was once a respite from

all aspects of our everyday

lives, nowadays vacationers

want to maintain at least

some connection to the out-

side world. If your vacation

home is not up-to-date with

its wireless technology,

upgrade to a faster network

that offers high speed

Internet. Such connectivity

can and likely will prove

attractive to prospective

renters who have grownaccustomed to relying on the

Internet, even when they are

on vacation.

Appliances: A vacation

rental may not need the latest

and greatest appliances, but

homeowners may find it easier

to attract renters (and charge

more in rent) if the home is

not filled with outdated appli-

ances reminiscent
