VA Loans (Veteran's Affair Loan) contact us home Useful VA Loan Information More than 29 million veterans and service personnel are eligible to receive VA loans. The federal government recently improved the VA loan program, which makes the program even more attractive to our nation's veterans. The changes enacted in Dec. 2004 have increased the loan limit to $359,650, tied the future loan limit to a fluctuating index, and reinstated VA adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). The VA ARMs will feature interest rate adjustments on an annual basis, which will be limited to a maximum increase or decrease of 1 percentage point. In addition, the interest rate increases are limited to a maximum of 5 percentage points over the life of the loan. The increase in the VA loan guaranty amount comes at an appropriate time for the nation's veterans. While national home prices have appreciated nearly 75 percent since 1995, the VA guaranty amount has only experienced one increase of approximately 18 percent since that time. The U.S. national average purchase price for a single-family home reached $264,540 in October 2004, according to figures released by the Federal Housing Finance Board. This figure is more than 10% over the maximum that lenders were previously willing to provide for a VA loan. With the new VA loan guaranty increase, most lenders will be willing to loan a maximum of $359,650, which indicates that more veterans will now be able to afford a home at the national average purchase price.

Production Company: Universal Pictures USA Box Office: $13 Million Budget Estimate: $7 Million Filming Locations: Universal Studios, Universal City, California, USA Editorial Reviews Amazon.com It's sick! It's twisted! It's House of 1,000 Corpses , and it's more fun than a wholesome bowl of "Agatha Crispies"! Dropped by two studios (Universal and MGM) and doomed to obscurity until Lions Gate Films gave it a limited theatrical release, Rob Zombie's gonzo horror flick is a blood-spattered throwback to the gore-fests of the '70s, lending new meaning to the term "box-office gross ." Most critics misunderstood this unbridled exercise in graphic style and violence, but for devoted horror buffs it's a refreshing rebuttal to the comparatively "polite" frights of the post- Scream era. While paying homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , Last House on the Left , Motel Hell , and other gory classics, Zombie's ramshackle plot (two young couples are terrorized by an inbred family of homicidal maniacs) lacks a crucial sense of dread, but his pastiche of vivid colors, grainy fetish-films, and photo-negative imagery is guaranteed to hold your attention. A bona-fide cult item, this House is definitely worth a visit... if you dare. --Jeff Shannon Customers who viewed this DVD also viewed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre DVD ~ Jessica Biel House of 1000 Corpses ~ Various Artists House of Wax (Widescreen Edition) DVD ~ Elisha Cuthbert The Devil's Rejects ~ Original Soundtrack Explore Similar Items : in DVD , in Music , and in Toys & Games Spotlight Reviews Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers. 45 of 61 people found the following review helpful: THE BOOGYMAN IS REAL, AND YOU FOUND HIM!! , August 16, 2003 Reviewer: Pamela Scarangello (Middletown, NJ USA) - See all my reviews I snatched this DVD off the shelf the day of its release, and for good reason. "House of 1000 Corpses" is absolutely the greatest grisly horror film I've ever seen! Watching the movie in its original theatrical premiere gave me the thrills and chills, and I don't even listen to any of Rob Zombie's music. What makes this film quite excellent is that it has finally reawakened the celluloid corpse of the horror genre; before this, Hollywood has churned out an obscene number of dull PG-13 teeny bopper flicks, including "Scream" and "I Know What you Did Last Summer." While paying homage to the low-budget shockfests of the 1960's and 70's, Zombie gives "House" a post-millenium twist with acidic photo negativity and twisted montages incorporating topless strippers, mutilated cadavers and snippets from campy black-and-white monster movies (provided by Dr. Wolfenstein's Creature Feature Marathon). Rob Zombie himself commented that a majority of "House's" gritty home video footage was shot through a hand-held camera in parts of Zombie's own basement! Also notice how NO high-tech computer effects were used; because "House" is set in the rural American South in 1977, the makers intended to stay true to that period (not to mention achieve realistic gore without overspending the budget). And of course the larger-than-life characters of "House of 1000 Corpses" are just as memorable as those in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." In fact, in the DVD's featurette, Sig Haig happily confessed how he would like to see this film presented in any tiny theatre where audiences can yell back at the screen! Who wouldn't love to visit Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madman and sample a bag of tasty fried chicken? Would you dare purchase a ticket to the scary Murder Ride and learn the legend of Dr. Satan? Or how about the psychotic Spiderfly family, who light up the flickering candles on Halloween night and fiendishly participate in a gruesome celebration (one in which cheerleaders are gagged, tied up and tortured)? Better yet, when was the last time a cinema fanatic witnessed a cult ritual of blood and fire, dedicated to the famous Dr. Satan himself?! Although I enjoy watching this film from beginning to end, I do have a few favorite moments. The first that immediately comes in my head is none other than the creepy Murder Ride, complete with cross-shaped tombstones, animatronic zombies and the awesome Captain telling the tragic tales of real-life serial murderers, molesters and cannibals (most notably Ed Gein, the notorious killer whose farmhouse was borrowed for "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.") I love the part when Baby (Sherie Moon) struts her way to the stage in her glittering evening gown, lip-synching to "I Wanna Be Loved by You" like a cute Hollywood starlet. Such bizarre charm! Yet another moment that stands out in my mind is when the sadistic Otis (Bill Moseley) lops off a victim's right hand with an axe...all while the funky Commodore's hit "She's a Brick House" blares on the radio! Mother Firefly (played by the voluptuous Karen Black) sort of reminds me of a blond, venomous Sharon Osbourne from the South! You kiddies will be happy to know that actors Sid Haig, Sherie Moon AND Bill Moseley actually host the different menus on the DVD; after returning to their delightfully creepy roles in the film, they each provide color commentary DIRECTLY TO YOU! Unfortunately, the list of extras DOES NOT include any hardcore deleted scenes, but if you carefully listen to Zombie's commentary, you might get just a hint as to which kind of footage was edited out. The interviews segment is quite interesting to watch too. I think I like the part when Sid Haig (clown greasepaint and all) chose "House of Wax" as his most favorite horror movie. Each interview even unveils a brand new character action figure! I can hardly wait to see what Rob Zombie has in store for us in the future, when he prepares to unleash an even more violent sequel! RIP Dennis Fimple. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 42 of 58 people found the following review helpful: Much better than you might think , July 2, 2003 Reviewer: N. Durham "Big Evil" (Reading, PA) - See all my reviews Fans have anxiously awaited Rob Zombie's directorial film debut for over 3 and a half years now, and while the finished product of House of 1000 Corpses isn't scary one bit, it's a very fun dirty little film that reminds us that horror films are supposed to be fun. In the late 70's, four kids go cross country and come across hearing the legend of Dr. Satan; an insane doctor who performed ghoulish experiments on his patients. Soon they pick up a hitchhiker (the oh so hot Sheri Moon; Rob Zombie's real life girlfriend), and from this point any veteran fan of horror films knows whats going to happen next. Soon we meet her family which includes Trilogy of Terror vixen Karen Black and the always excellent Bill Moseley. Next there are plenty of predictable scares followed by some nice gore and make up effects, and the film bares a stunning resemblance to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Zombie partly succeeded his intention; to make a truly scary horror film like the ones of old, and while House of 1000 Corpses isn't the most brilliant piece of horror film (or the most intelligent for that matter), it's a fun ride nonetheless, and Zombie shows some true directorial talent. The performances are great with Moseley stealing the entire show, his performance bearing striking similarities to his zany and hilarious deliverance of Chop Top in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and the cast also includes a foul mouthed clown faced Sid Haig and a southern drawl spewing Walt Goggins (Shane on TV's The Shield). All in all, House of 1000 Corpses is a gritty little movie that horror buffs will find some appreciation for. If you find you like this check out older horror films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 & 2, Last House on the Left, and the original Hellraiser. Was this review helpful to you?

More is less. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 3 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Disturbing , December 5, 2005 Reviewer: A. Vegan (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews I consider myself a huge horror fan and I think "House of 1000 Corpses" is probably one of the worst horror movies, ever. In "House of 1000 Corpses", Jerry, Bill, Mary, and Denise take a trip to the American roads in order to collect material for a book about offbeat roadside attractions. At some point, Bill decides to stop at a gas station ran by an extremely weird man in a clown suit named Captain Spaulding. The place is very bizarre and tacky, but since Jerry and Bill live for that kind of rarities...they love the place!. Captain Spaulding nicely invites the two guys to take a look at the "murder ride". After finally managing to persuade the girls, the four friends take a look at the weird attraction. That's how they become aware of the local legend of Doctor Satan. A weird creature who devoted his entire life to experiment with people and turn them into monsters. Apparenly, Dr Satan was hung from a tree by a bunch angry villagers. That tree is not far away from the "murder ride". Obviously, Bill and Jerry insist Captain Spaulding on letting them know the way to that tree and he finally accedes. In the middle of the road, they pick up weird hitchhiker, a blonde girl named "Baby". The car breaks down all of a sudden, but Baby nicely offers some help and invites them to stay at her place while her brother fixes the car. Unfortunately, Baby and her family are a bunch of sadistic maniac who enjoy celebrating Halloween in a grotesque way. "House of 1000 Corpses" is nothing but a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" rip-off. The film is very disturbing as some scenes and images were defiantely very creepy. Its also very gory but that doesn't mean its scary. It also sometimes goes over the top on the gore.

Otis isn't bad, except for his terrible wig and makeup job. This movie has some good scenes, mostly in the first third, but it moves like an overlong music video, the "shocks" aren't very shocking (especially since almost every gag is stolen directly from Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and the last half hour will put you to sleep. Not suspenseful or really scary even, but a good first 45 minutes or so. Devil's Rejects is a much better film. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 2 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Oh no, not "Doctor Satan"! , November 22, 2005 Reviewer: Anders Nissen (Falun, Sweden, Europe) - See all my reviews A good title. Promising storyline. Young people in the middle of nowhere, bound to get into serious trouble. However, Rob Zombie gets most of the things just half-right. The young people go on a tour (at a gas station!) where serial killers are presented. Promising idea, but the result is a display of some odd people with strange interests. Not scary, and not amusing - not even fascinating - just a shrug. The climax of the tour is the story about "Dr Satan". He was an evil doctor and was hanged in a trea by the locals. The tree is not far from the gas station, so why not check it out? A flat tire and a "helpful" girl later, the young people are dining with a strange family. Maybe it could have developed in an interesting way, but it gets stuck. In retrospect, even this "Dr Satan" thing is just too uncreative. What kind of name is that? No mystery, just a blunt attempt to have an evil sounding name. Whatever happened to "Michael Myers", "Freddy Kreuger", "Damien Thorne", or "Jason Voorhees"? No, Rob Zombie gotto have the most evilest of evilier of names. The basic problems are: Too many bad guys, more strangeness than scary stuff, and not so good music. The result is that there is virtually no direction. Odd things happen. Strange people appear. The young people get scared or die - and as a viewer I don't really care which. You need one killer to be scared of, not strange people popping up here and there. Any increasing of the number of killers needs careful thought and working out. Or you will end up with a mess.

Rental income must be reported on your tax return, and generally, associated expenses can be deducted from your rental income. Reviewing answers to the following common questions regarding rental property may help you understand the tax implications of rental property ownership: What is considered rental income? What deductions can I take as an owner of rental property? What are some things I should know about rental property? Contact your local Jackson Hewitt office for more information or assistance. Use the Office Locator feature available on this Web site or call 1-800-234-1040 to find the Jackson Hewitt location most convenient to you. What is considered rental income? Rental income is any income you receive for the use or occupancy of property you own. Some examples are: Rent Payment to cancel a lease Advance rent Expenses paid by the tenant Any security deposit kept because a tenant did not fulfill their part of the rental agreement Do not include: A security deposit you are holding with the intent of returning it to the tenant at the end of the lease Income received from renting your home for fewer than 15 days per year Back to Top What deductions can I take as an owner of rental property? Deductible expenses for rental property are the ordinary and necessary expenses to manage, conserve, and maintain your property. Deductible expenses include: Advertising in the newspaper for tenants and cost of signs Cleaning supplies Real estate taxes Mortgage and other interest paid for the rental property Cost of insurance-hazard, flood, fire, or liability Payments for service such as lawn care, pest control, and trash collection Payments for maintenance of the property Professional fees for tax advice and tax return preparation fees for the part of the tax return dealing with rental property Cost of new locks and keys Commissions paid for finding tenants Cost of necessary transportation to and from the rental property for the purpose of maintenance, management, rent collection, picking up supplies, or checking the property (if you use your personal vehicle, either keep track of actual expenses and miles traveled or just the miles traveled) Cost of repairs and maintenance (not improvements) to keep your property in good condition (this includes items such as repainting and fixing floors and windows) Cost of renting equipment used for the rental property Depreciation of the property (not including the land) Depreciation of appliances, furnishings, and improvements Any long distance calls associated with your rental property The court costs for evicting a tenant Legal fees pertaining to the rental property or tenants Utilities Expenses incurred when the property is not rented as long as you are actively trying to rent the property (even if you are renting it for the first time) You cannot deduct: Rental income lost due to vacancy The cost of improvements which increase the value and/or extend the life of the property or modify it for a new use (includes such things as a room addition, new carpet, new appliances, fencing, or a new roof - these items can generally be depreciated) Back to Top What Are Some Things I Should Know About Rental Property? If you rent only part of your property, certain expenses must be divided between the part used as rental property and the part used for personal purposes. If you do not rent your property for profit, you can deduct your rental expenses only up to the amount of your rental income. When rental property is sold, the resulting gain or loss is treated as ordinary or capital, depending on the circumstances. The rental of personal property such as equipment or vehicles is reported as business income. You are in the business of renting personal property if the primary purpose for renting the property is income or profit and you are involved in the activity on a continuous and regular basis. If your rental of personal property is not a business, other rules for reporting will apply. Losses from residential rental properties are subject to certain limitations. If you are considered a real estate professional, special rules apply for the reporting of income and losses. For more information, contact your local Jackson Hewitt Tax Service office. Back to Top Back to Tax Topics Tax Tips CASUALTY AND THEFT LOSS - AUTO If you have been involved in an automobile accident, the damage to your car may be considered a casualty loss. This would apply if the loss were not due to your negligence or the negligence of someone driving your vehicle. The loss must first be reduced by any insurance or other reimbursement plus $100, and then by 10% of your adjusted gross income. home | about us | tax news | tackle your taxes | learn & earn | own a franchise | work with us | privacy/terms of use © 2004 Jackson Hewitt Inc.
