I am working on an article about variable life insurance and
would love to quote an expert and get some professional insight
added to this. Here are some questions I have (willing to quote
more than one person in this article if I get good information).
1. What are some of the most common purposes people use their
life insurance cash value for?
2. How can cash value from a variable life insurance policy be
better than a whole life insurance policy? In other words, why
would someone choose a variable life insurance policy as opposed
to a level whole life insurance policy?
3. Do you know what the returns for a variable life insurance
policy could be like? Could you give a quick example scenario
using a set premium amount and estimated return vs. the returns
someone would get from a whole life insurance policy to
demonstrate how it might be worth the market risk?
4. Can you tell me why someone might choose whole life or term
OVER variable life and outline a scenario where you'd lose some
of your cash value with variable life. How common is that?
Thanks!

Companies are quickly learning that they have opportunities to
attract top talent, especially when looking for specialized
skills because of the rapid proliferation of remote working.
Even many companies that plan to bring employees back to the
workplace in the near future, or that already have, continue to
conduct interviews online. Doing so, though, may raise new legal
risks that they need to be aware of. For instance, disparities
related to lack of strong wi-fi connections, requirements for
retaining any video images of the interviews, etc. I'm
interested in hearing from attorneys and HR/legal experts on the
potential risks of remote hiring and what employers, recruiters
and HR leaders need to know as they potentially become to rely
more on remote hiring opportunities.

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

interview housing professionals, mortgage lending experts, real
estate faculty, real estate agents/Realtors, real estate
attorneys, and other professionals for the following story:
Expect robust housing demand for the foreseeable future. A new
report by Zillow (details at
http://zillow.mediaroom.com/2020-12-01-Why-Housing-Demand-Will-Likely-Stay-High-for-Years-to-Come)
reveals that there are 5.7 million "missing" households since
the Great Recession; household formation rates have been low
since the Great Recession, and the 5.7 million "missing"
households since that time are likely to boost housing demand
for at least the next several years. This story will include
these and other data points and explain the factors at work
behind these trends as well as who stands most to benefit from
them in the years ahead.
I can only accept written responses (full-sentences that I can
use as quotes) via email to the following questions. My deadline
is noon central, Friday, January 22, 2021.
QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or surprising about
any of the previously mentioned data? 2. Do you agree with
Zillow that we can expect robust housing demand over the next
several years? Why/why not? 3. What will be the
effects/consequences of continued and increased demand for
housing over the next few years? How is this good news and if
so, for whom? Who will this benefit? How is this bad news in any
way? 4. What are your predictions when it comes to housing
demand for the foreseeable future, and why? 5. What would need
to happen for housing demand to decrease in any significant way
in the coming years? 6. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions
on this topic? 7. What is your full name, title, company,
city/state location, and email address?

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
homesharing experts, interview mortgage lending experts, real
estate faculty, real estate agents/Realtors, real estate
attorneys, and other professionals for the following story:
How homesharing can feather your retirement nest. New data by
Silvernest, an online roommate-matching service that connects
older adults with long-term, compatible housemates, found that
even before the pandemic, many adults faced a retirement
shortage, and their financial situation has been compounded by
the outbreak. However, while many retirees and pre-retirees may
be cash poor right now, many are house rich. In fact, 80% of
boomers owns a home and there are 3.6 million spare rooms in the
top 100 housing markets. But by renting out their unused space,
homeowners can earn an average of $10,000 a year that can be
used to catch up on mortgage payments, make home upgrades or
fill their retirement savings gap. This article will provide
tips for evaluating whether a retirement roommate is right for
you, steps for entering into a homesharing arrangement during
Covid, leveraging your home to offset your mortgage, and more.
I can only accept written responses (full-sentences that I can
use as quotes) via email to the following questions. My deadline
is noon central, Friday, January 22, 2021.
QUESTIONS: 1. What is "homesharing," (charging rent for and
sharing a residence with someone else) and how does it work? 2.
What did you find interesting or surprising about any of the
previously mentioned study findings? 3. Why is homesharing a
good idea? Who are the best candidates for homesharing and why?
4. What detailed tips and steps, in order, would you suggest to
readers who are considering a homesharing strategy? 5. What
detailed tips would you suggest to people who might be
interested in paying rent and co-occupying someone else's home?
6. What special precautions should be taken by either party when
it comes to coronavirus, security, finances, legality, etc.? 7.
What realistic act should homesharing prospects have and why? 8.
What should be avoided here or considered carefully? 9. Any
other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 10. What is
your full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?
