Landlord Fundamentals
With today’s rock-bottom home
prices and more people renting
instead of buying, it’s easy to think
the landlord business is a good
way to bring in extra money. It
sure has that potential, but it also
has a lot of risk to cost you more
money than it brings you. This class
is the owner’s manual you were
never given. Learning from Nancy
Dashner, you’ll dig into the groundlevel knowledge you need, from
your rights and responsibilities as
a landlord to decreasing evictions,
damage and liability.

Grant Writing Essentials
b F Making the Most of
Social Security
Retirement IncomeEnhancing Strategies
One of the most important
decisions you need to make
before you retire is when to claim
Social Security benefits. About
half of retirees apply for Social
Security as soon as they become
eligible at age 62.1 But by doing
so, they may significantly and
permanently reduce the benefits
that they —and possibly their
spouses — could receive over a
lifetime. Whether you’re single,
married, divorced, or widowed,
there may be ways to maximize the
lifetime benefits you receive. Join
us for an educational workshop
where we’ll focus on maximizing
Social Security benefits, as well as
making informed retirement plan
distribution decisions and creating a
“do-it-yourself ” pension. Instructor:
Bob Nowak Study materials will be
provided.
