Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 16 July
Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview real estate agents/brokers, lenders, attorneys,
housing industry analysts, real estate faculty/professors, and
other real estate experts for the following story:
Single women want to own homes: Here's why. Fresh data from
First American (details at
https://blog.firstam.com/economics/for-single-women-homeownership-increasingly-comes-first)
found that in 2019, the homeownership rate for single women
(including widowed, separated, or divorced) was 2.2 percent
higher than single men, according to anonymized household-level
survey data. Differences between how single women and men
prioritize homeownership may help explain why the homeownership
rate among women exceeds men. One 2018 report by Bank of America
found that single women prioritize owning a home more than their
single male counterparts (73 percent vs. 65 percent). They're
also prioritizing homeownership over many key life priorities,
such as getting married (41 percent) and having children (31
percent). Homeownership is a key tool for wealth creation in the
United States, and single women are increasingly choosing to
invest in homes and embracing wealth creation through home
buying. The single female homeownership trend has largely
followed the national homeownership rate, increasing in the
early 2000s and peaking in 2005, before falling in the aftermath
of the recession. According to their analysis, the homeownership
rate for single women has increased from a 20-year low of 49
percent in 2016 to almost 51 percent in 2019. This piece will
summarize the major findings and offer perspectives and tips
from experts as to what single-women should be thinking
about/doing before purchasing a home. I can accept written
responses (full-sentences that I can use as quotes) via email to
the following questions. My deadline is noon central, Thursday,
July 16.
QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or unexpected about
any of the aforementioned study findings, and why? 2. Why do
more single women want to own homes lately, especially compared
to single men? What's behind this trend? 3. What are the pros
and cons of buying and owning a home for a single woman versus
renting? 4. What do you recommend to single women: Who is a good
candidate for buying/owning a home and why? Who is not? When
should they start the home shopping/buying process? What
strategies and resources should they pursue? 5. What's your
prediction: Will the rate of single women buying/owning homes
continue to increase in the short- and long-term? Why/why not?
6. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 7.
What is your full name, title, company, city/state location, and
email address?

Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for HomeStyle,
a nationally syndicated home improvement/design section
published weekly in newspapers across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview professional landscapers, hardscape experts, fire pit
experts, real estate agents, homeowners, and other experts for
the following story:
Keep the home fires burning--comfortably in your backyard: How
to build a fire pit. Many homeowners are investing more money
and time into improving their outdoor amenities this year; and
with cooler temperatures on the way, a fire pit can add to
outdoor enjoyment. This story will suggest how DIYers can build
their own backyard fire pit using materials bought at a home
improvement store, plus suggestions on how to keep a fire pit
and the surrounding area safe. Below is a list of questions I'm
seeking answers to. I can only accept written responses via
email. My deadline is noon central, Thursday, July 16, 2020.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it smart to consider adding a fire pit (a
more permanent/stationery one) to your yard? 2. What are the
pros and cons of building a more permanent backyard fire pit
(versus buying a pre-made portable one)? 3. Who are good
candidates for adding a DIY fire pit and why? 4. What are the
best materials for building a DIY fire pit? 5. Please describe
the steps, in order, to build a DIY fire pit. 6. Where are the
best places to put a fire pit in your yard and why? 7. What
precautions should be taken while building the fire pit and
before, during and after using a fire pit? 8. How long can you
expect a DIY-built fire pit to last? 9. Any other thoughts,
tips, or suggestions on this topic? 10. What is your full name,

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 15 July
Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin with The Mortgage Reports website
(www.themortgagereports.com). I'm looking to interview real
estate faculty, lenders, financial experts, Certified Mortgage
Planning Specialists, lenders/loan officers, property attorneys,
and other real estate experts (no real estate agents/brokers
please) for the following story:
Should you pay off your mortgage early or invest that money
elsewhere? This story will provide tips and insights on why and
how to pay off your mortgage early vs. investing that extra
money elsewhere. Note that I can only accept full-sentence
written responses (which I can use as quotes) for this article.
My deadline for written answers to these questions is noon
central, Wednesday, July 15.
QUESTIONS: 1. Explain how it's possible to pay off your mortgage
early by paying extra toward your principal each month and how
most lenders allow this. Also, explain how this works: What is
the principle behind making accelerated payments, and how does
making extra payments help pay off the loan earlier? 2. What are
the pros and cons of, and who is a good candidate for: (a)
paying off your mortgage early; versus (b) using that money
instead to invest in your retirement or the stock market? 3.
Imagine you got a $2,000 per month raise. Should you use that
extra money to pay off your mortgage early or invest in the
stock market/your retirement? Please explain, with math: (a) how
much you'd save by paying off your mortgage early here vs. (b)
how much you're likely to gain by investing. 4. Imagine you get
a $100,000 windfall. Should you use that extra money to pay off
your mortgage early or invest in the stock market/your
retirement? Please explain, with math: (a) how much you'd save
by paying off your mortgage early here vs. (b) how much you're
likely to gain by investing. 5. Explain/suggest how it may be
worthwhile to pursue both strategies: maybe refinance into a
lower monthly payment or shorter term and, with your leftover
money instead in the stock market/retirement? 6. What should
people consider carefully before pursuing either option (paying
off a mortgage early vs. investing that money)? 7. Any other
thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your
full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?
