Rankin Buys Houses uses a very stress-free process for buying houses from the residents of South Bend via all-cash transactions.

BRISTOL, INDIANA, UNITED STATES, February 16, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — When it comes to selling a property, the process can easily get prolonged and become too stressful for sellers. These long processes of listing a house, paying realtors and agencies high fees, can really make sellers’ lives more complicated than they should be. To avoid all of these things, there is another option that people who want to sell their properties in South Bend can do and that is contacting Rankin Buys Houses. The company buys houses via a very simple process that is usually done in three easy steps. The first step is the seller contacting the company. They can do this via the website of Rankin Buys Houses where they will fill out a form with the information about the property, or they can call the phone number. The second step consists of the employees of the company paying a visit to the property that the seller wants to sell. If everything is alright, the third step is making an official offer to the seller about the property. The payment for the house is done in cash!

Sellers are the ones that choose the dates of selling their houses, and that date can be as soon as seven days after receiving the offer. In some cases where sellers have to wait a few months before selling the house, Rankin Buys Houses will wait accordingly to the plans of the sellers. What’s even better, the sellers are not obligated to accept the offer if they do not think that it suits their needs. However, this way the house will not be listed somewhere and have a high level of uncertainty, but it will be bought directly by Rankin Buys Houses.

There are many advantages of using this way of selling a house and some of the most important are that the sellers won’t need to sign mountains of paperwork or long-term binding contract, sellers won’t need to do any repairs to clean the house, sellers won’t be fed false hope with possible contracts, and much more.

From Rankin Buys Houses state “we buy houses in South Bend and offer fair prices, and a smooth overall process for sellers”. There are many reasons why the people from South Bend might need to sell their house as soon as possible and the most common of them are:
– Getting through a divorce or a death in the family
– Wanting to move away
– Being behind on mortgage payments
– Needing money for health-related reasons
– Having an unwanted or inherited property
– Having tough tenants
– Facing foreclosure
– Being upside down on the mortgage payments
– Owning a vacant property

Rankin Buys Houses also offers the house-buying service in Elkhart, Goshen, Mishawaka, Granger, Nappanee, Middlebury, Wakarusa, Bristol, and Osceola.

Building client relationships that last is a difficult task in the digital era. Jared Goetz offers tips for growing customer relationships that stick.

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ —
With a decorated background in e-commerce, expert Jared Goetz continues to build seven-figure Shopify stores and lecture at conferences around the world on growing your business and platform.

“Retaining customers is one of the most important investments you can make as a small business owner,” explained Jared Goetz. “If your company is only focused on selling a product and not retaining customer loyalty, you’ll lose in the long run.”

Having worked with clients around the globe, Goetz is quick to remind businesses to focus on having a robust customer service platform that keeps customers engaged, happy, and coming back for more.

More than ever, you’ll see companies quickly responding to complaints, offering free replacements and trying to understand what their target audience is looking for in a product and in customer service. When there are a million different companies to choose from, customers aren’t only considering pricing now, they are also considering speed and customer service as value propositions.

If you do not retain customers early on, you can lose upwards of 20-30% of your annual profits on the backend. Great companies like Apple and Google understand this, which is why they regularly send out detailed surveys to customers to understand exactly what they are looking for, and how they can continually improve upon their products.

“If your customers feel like you are listening to them, and adding more and more value as you grow your company, they will be more likely to stick with you, even through growing pains,” explained Goetz. “Customers want to feel connected to something, and offering them a chance to voice their opinion is a great place to start.”

Another tip that Jared Goetz recommends is creating customers that are product evangelists. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising and when you build a deep relationship with your target audience and customers, you’ll give them plenty of reason to keep coming back for more and invest in your company as well.

If you can build a relationship with your existing customers that extend far beyond good customer service, and they become fans of your brand and your company, they will carry your business to new heights and audiences you could never reach on your own.

1st United Credit Union reminds consumers that it’s time to check their credit reports.

PLEASANTON, CA, USA, February 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ —

1st United Credit Union Reminds Consumers
to Review Credit Report

PLEASANTON, CA (FEBRUARY 14, 2019): 1st United Credit Union reminds consumers that it’s time to check their credit reports. Regular review helps to catch discrepancies and reveal a possible identity theft situation before it escalates. The sooner consumers can find and correct errors, the healthier their credit could be.

“Monitoring a credit report is like a health checkup – but for your finances. Consumers thinking about applying for loans should check their credit far in advance of submitting an application,” commented Tosha Eagles-Williams, Chief Lending Officer at 1st United Credit Union. “This gives a consumer a better chance of correcting any errors early.”

Accessing a credit report is free and easy to do and checking it does not impact your credit score. That’s because Federal Law requires each of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies to provide consumers with a free credit report every 12 months, if they request it.

Operated jointly by the three major credit bureaus, annualcreditreport.com is the website recommended by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as the only authorized website for free credit reports. But consumers don’t need to order reports from all three agencies at the same time. 1st United recommends spreading them out so consumers can spot changes or discrepancies throughout the year. For example, check Equifax now, TransUnion in May, and Experian in September.

To help consumers read their report, 1st United Credit Union has published an overview of how to monitor a credit report. 1st United Credit Union offers appointments at their branches for their members to sit with a staff member who can walk them through their credit report. Membership is available to anyone who lives, works, or attends school in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Solano, Stanislaus, or Kings Counties in California. Consumers can reach out to their personal bank or credit union to see if they offer credit report review.

About 1st United Credit Union
It doesn’t get simpler, faster and friendlier than 1st United Credit Union. As one of the first credit unions in California, 1st United Credit Union was founded in 1932 and has been thriving in the San Francisco East Bay Area ever since. Membership is available to anyone who lives, works, or attends school in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Solano, Stanislaus, or Kings Counties in California. We believe in local, neighborly banking and hope you will too. For more information, visit 1stunitedcu.org.

Michael D. Finn, Founder of Finn Law Group

“What’s the difference between a used car and a used timeshare? Value.” – Michael D. Finn

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Michael D. Finn, the founder of Finn Law Group, has been a practicing attorney for over 40 years, working on behalf of consumers with real estate, timeshare and fractional ownership issues. In addition, he’s been able to assist clients with mortgage modifications, foreclosure defense and bankruptcy alternatives. Now, the talented attorney shares his views on the “unconscionable suppression” of the timeshare market.

“What’s the difference between a used car and a used timeshare? Value,” states Finn, “A continuously maintained large timeshare unit in a nice resort does not retain its ‘value,’ while a four-year-old sedan with over 50,000 miles on it could be easily resold in the secondary vehicle market with a recovery of over half of its original cost.”

This cavernous disparity in values occurs because there are relatively healthy secondary markets for many consumer products and next to none for timeshares. If someone takes a look at the timeshare industry’s tightfisted control of their markets, where no viable secondary market is permitted to exist, let alone thrive or prosper, they will begin to understand the complexity of the issue. For example, each and every one of the timeshare developers who file documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission to support their public filing requirements have included language in each of their filings that specifically addresses the secondary resale market as a threat to their bottom line. A direct quote from Bluegreen’s SEC filing states, “The resale market for VOIs [vacation ownership interest] could adversely affect our business.”

“It is clear that these developers, in their own words and in their own public filings, all express open antagonism to the very existence of a secondary timeshare resale market!” exclaims Finn. “These developer resort SEC filings conclusively establish that even simply stepping out of the resale channel and permitting other market forces to come in to help stabilize the resale timeshare marketplace without interference from the developers is not an option to be considered, clearly because of the perceived threat to their bottom line.”

While starving the resale market may initially be good for the bottom line, the long-term disadvantages are more dire. Buyers will, over some period of time, get laid off or lose their job, get divorced or otherwise lose their spouse, become sickly or disabled, or die. What happens next in the absence of a structured secondary resale market?

“What if that triggering event happens sooner rather than later and there is still a significant mortgage balance due to the developer?” Finn demands. “What if, balance or not, the developer refuses to take back the interest, leaving ongoing and rising maintenance fees running? Legally that owner remains personally liable for those fees, despite the fact that they purchased the timeshare at full retail cost and supported the resort as long as they could afford to.”

Resort personnel often will then recommend the services of a so called “resale company” who will, more often than not, require an upfront fee to “list” the interest on a website where no one can accurately determine who will see it. The timeshare industry’s position is not only short sighted and socially irresponsible, it’s not sustainable.

A strong resale market will strengthen the industry. There is no better time than now to make the important and essential changes that might, in the short term, slow down profitability, but in the long term, turn the timeshare industry into a more socially responsible and far more sustainable industry for decades to come.

“Timeshare developers should take a hard look at themselves and their industry,” concludes Finn, “Take pride, not just profit, from making family vacations an affordable part of the American lifestyle by opening up that opportunity to even more folks.”

Former Ohio AG Dann and investigative reporter are concerned that corruption has crept into the retirement system investment process

CLEVELAND, OHIO, UNITED STATES, February 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — In a pleading filed on Wednesday, February 13, former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann asked the Ohio Supreme Court to order the release of documents related to the Ohio Public Employee Retirement Systems (OPERS) $300,000,000 investment in hedge funds managed by Glouston Capital Partners, LLC. Dann is seeking a Writ of Mandamus from the Court because OPERS and Glouston have repeatedly refused to comply with public records requests submitted by investigative journalist John Damschroder.

The pleading and documents may be viewed by following the links below:http://www.dannlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Damschroder-John-2019-02-11-Affidavit-of-John-Damschroder.pdf

http://www.dannlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Damschroder-John-2019-02-12-Memorandum-in-Support-of-Mandamus-2.pdf

http://www.dannlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Damschroder-John-2019-02-13-Complaint-Mandamus-With-Exhibits.pdf

Damschroder, whose interest in the funds was spurred by reports of the high costs and low returns associated with the state’s hedge fund investments, began filing public records requests with OPERS in June of 2018. Pension system officials were slow to comply and the materials they did provide were heavily redacted including those related to Glouston-controlled single-investor funds Ohio Midwest 1, Ohio Midwest II, Ohio Midwest III and Equity Opportunities. Glouston claimed the redactions were justified because they either involved trade secrets or were protected by confidentiality agreements between the firm and OPERS.

Unsatisfied with Glouston’s response, especially because some of the redacted information was posted on the company’s website and there was no evidence that the confidentiality agreements the firm referenced actually existed, Damschroder resubmitted his public records request on November 15, 2018. Neither OPERS nor Glouston has responded.

In the meantime, Damschroder became concerned that corruption had crept into the investment process when he learned that the Securities and Exchange Commission imposed a $100,000 fine on an Ohio fund manager for violations of the SEC’s “pay-to-play” rules. The Commission noted that persons associated with the fund had made campaign contributions of nearly $50,000 to Ohio’s Governor, Treasurer, and candidates for governor. The SEC Order also noted that the Governor and Treasurer were involved in the decision-making process for the investment of Ohio public pension monies.

The unjustified refusal to turn over public documents combined with the existence of possible corruption motivated Damschroder to reach out to former AG Dann. Ironically, both Dann and Damschroder played key roles in unraveling the Coingate scandal that rocked Ohio government in 2005 and 2006. At that time, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation refused to release records related to the BWC’s decision to invest more than $50,000,000 in a rare coin fund managed by Republican Party official and major donor Tom Noe.

Eventually, the Ohio Supreme Court ordered the BWC to turn over the documents which revealed a web of corruption that sent Noe to federal prison, cost a number of state employees their jobs, and led to Bob Taft becoming the only governor in Ohio history to plead guilty to crimes while in office. Dann is seeking the Writ of Mandamus on the basis of the Court’s decision in the Coingate case.

Both Dann and Damschroder are concerned about the parallels between the Coingate affair and the Glouston-managed hedge funds—a concern intensified by the fact that Glouston has invested money in Drive Capital, a private equity fund co-founded by Mark Kvamme, a venture capitalist who is close to former Gov. John Kasich. Kasich recruited Kvamme to move from California to run JobsOhio in 2011, a position he left a year later.

“You would have to be blind to miss the similarities between the two situations,” Dann said. “Any time a government agency works this hard to keep secrets you just have to wonder what they have to hide. Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s something, but the public has a right to know and we’re going to fight to protect that right.”

Today the Intermountain Medical Group includes 1,372 physicians and 479 advanced practitioners

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, February 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — If you were around in 1994, you may remember "Schindler's List" won the Academy Award for best picture, the Sony Playstation was launched, "The Lion King" and "Forrest Gump" were popular movies, a TV show named "Friends" was first aired, and the commercial potential of something called the "World Wide Web" was discussed at a conference in San Francisco.

It was also the year 16 Intermountain Healthcare physicians signed an agreement that created what's become the Intermountain Medical Group.

Almost from its founding in 1975, Intermountain Healthcare leaders recognized the need to partner more closely with physicians. Intermountain took steps in the 1980s to engage physicians more meaningfully in the organization's operations and governance. Then in 1994, the Intermountain Medical Group (originally called the IHC Physician Division) was created based on recommendations of a joint Intermountain-physician task force.

The members of the task force signed their names to a "Statement of Principles and Philosophy" drafted by urologist Charles Sorenson, MD, who later became Intermountain's CEO.

"It's interesting to go back and read through the original document that was put together," says Chris Thornock, the Medical Group's vice president and chief operating officer. "All of the reasons the Medical Group was established — to improve quality, implement an electronic medical record, engage physicians in clinical program work, and manage population health — are still very relevant today."

When it began, the Medical Group was a cutting-edge concept; there weren't many similar physician groups in the healthcare industry. Not knowing what to expect, leaders had a conservative vision of the future. It started with just 17 physicians, two advanced practitioners, and 53 employees, which totaled 71 team members.

"When the Medical Group was founded, I don't think there was ever a goal in terms of the number of physicians who'd be part of the group," says Chris. "The vision was much smaller. There were some who said, 'Well, we might get to 500.' Today the Medical Group includes 1,372 physicians and 479 advanced practitioners."

As it's grown, the Medical Group has implemented significant changes over the years, such as:

• Mental health integration is provided in all primary care and some specialty care clinics.
• Personalized primary care helped all Intermountain primary care clinics earn National Committee for Quality Assurance's Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition.
• Intermountain's Zero Harm initiative in ambulatory settings leads the nation in ambulatory patient safety.
• The former Primary Care Clinical Program — which included family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics — developed best practice and care process models that have led to better patient health.

"For 25 years the Medical Group has served wherever our clinics, providers, and caregivers are found and our growth over the years has broadened our ability do good," says Tim Johnson MD, the Medical Group's senior medical director. "The Medical Group is vital to helping Intermountain achieve its mission of helping people live the healthiest lives possible."

Intermountain Healthcare is a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 23 hospitals, 170 clinics, medical group, a health insurance company called SelectHealth, and other health services. Intermountain is widely recognized as a leader in transforming healthcare through evidence-based best practices, high quality and sustainable costs.

Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: HIHI): Cancels $1.3M Of Convertible Debt and Is on Track to Acquire Shopping Center Land For $120,000

Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS:HIHI)

MIAMI LAKES, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: HIHI): Cancels $1.3M Of Convertible Debt and Is on Track to Acquire Shopping Center Land For $120,000

Miami, FL – February 15, 2019 (undergroundstocks.com Newswire) – UndergroundStocks.com, an elite wall street independent small cap media group with a history of bringing lucrative opportunities, updates on Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. (OTCPINK: HIHI).

Company Cancels $1.3M Of Debt

HIHI is starting to generate some major buzz throughout the investment community. Today February 14, 2018 the company reiterated its cancellation of $1.3M of debt. Gene Thompson – CEO and chief strategist of Holiday Island Holdings said, “We are pleased to re-release this announcement for proper disclosure as we prepare our year end OTC Report, and as it provides significant equity to the Company’s balance sheet, and advances our effort to cease debt conversion at some point.” HIHI is set to erase the debt from its balance sheet, the company is building strong confident with its investors and traders.

The Company’s main goals for 2019 is to finalize a multi-million-dollar fund raise and become a significant player in local commercial and residential markets at Holiday Island, Arkansas. The Company has $3.3 million in prime, commercial income-producing real estate located in the center of the Holiday Island Shopping Center with 100% occupancy, combined gross revenues of $341,000, and annual returns between 8.5% to 13.3% with significant upside in raising the building’s rents near and long term.

Shopping Center Land Acquisition

The company has executed an option to buy approximate 1.5-acre tract of land in the Park located in the Holiday Island Shopping Center. The property is strategically located from commercial and or residential developments. Nearby amenities include a Children’s Park, Recreational Pavilion, Veterans’ Memorial, and Amphitheatre. Also, Holiday Island’s new and exclusive Wolf Wellness Center and 24/7 Fitness center is just down the street.

Top real estate stocks such as Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (ROIC), CareTrust REIT, Inc. (CTRE) and Antero Midstream Partners LP (AM) acquired land to add assets to their financial books and to increase revenues. Holiday Island Holdings, Inc. (HIHI) small but ambitious micro-cap company, is taking the same approach as its peers and is on track to acquire land. This will generate major revenues for the company, and it will be a major asset on their books.

HIHI Oversold and Undervalued

This undervalued and oversold stock should be in everyone’s watchlist. HIHI’s current share structure is the following: AS 1,500,000,000 million, OS 873,606,791 million. The market cap at the time of writing was $436,803. The current share price is $0.0007

The stock closed today right at the 100ma (.0007), it tested the 200ma (.0008) briefly today. With multiple catalysts in the making and current momentum we believe the stock can break above that key pivot point at .0008 and it could re-test .0020-.0030+ level.

HIHI is one of those thinly traded stocks that could explode on low volume and once this cheetah takes off there’s no stopping it.

UK’s first ‘Get Paid as you Go’ service now available to over 1,400 businesses in partnership with HFX workforce management

CODICOTE, HERTS, UK, February 15, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — HFX, the market leading provider of Cloud SaaS Workforce Management Solutions, has announced a partnership with Wagestream, the UK’s first FCA-authorised ‘Get Paid as you Go’ service, reestablishing the link between pay and reward.

HFX customers will now have access to Wagestream as an integrated solution to provide their employees with a flexible income. In simple terms, Wagestream provides payroll based on real hours worked and wages can be payable at any time, as agreed by the employer. This payday formula eliminates financial stress caused by the outdated payday cycle and improves staff retention and productivity in the process.

The flexible income service – which can be implemented by companies without impacting cash-flow, payroll or timekeeping processes – integrates with HFX’s existing range of solutions for managing staff working hours, shifts and rosters to meet legislation and ensure employee wellbeing.

Wagestream will put workers back in control of their earned income, meaning they can withdraw up to 40% of the pay they have earned up to that point, at any time during the month. Employees around the UK who are enrolled in the Wagestream platform work an average 22% more shifts per month and organisations experience a 40% increase in staff retention rates. 38% of enrolled employees have also used Wagestream to avoid taking out a payday loan.

Nicola Smart, COO of HFX said: "HFX has been leading and innovating in Workforce Management systems for over 40 years and our collaboration with Wagestream perfectly complements HFX’s focus on playing a key role in the New World of Work, combining efficient workforce management with wellbeing and staff benefits. By deploying our solutions, companies can benefit from improved productivity, more motivated staff and higher retention as well as cost savings and improved profits.”

Peter Briffett, CEO and co-founder of Wagestream added: “With over 40,000 workers already benefiting from Wagestream, results show that a flexible income has a profound impact on employee wellbeing and productivity. By tackling the outdated payday cycle and the predatory lenders and credit providers it supports, we’re putting people back in control of their income and on the path to a healthier financial life. We look forward to opening that up to another 1,400 organisations around the UK, in partnership with HFX – and getting one step closer to making work, work better for everyone.”
