Computer Equipment Leasing- An Attractive Means of Acquisition

Living in the century that is tech savy and where technology changes so quickly that as soon you uncrate a brand-new computer or printer, it’s probably obsolete. To avoid obsolescence is just one of the many advantages to leasing. Computer equipment leasing is a very attractive means of acquisition with everybody in the business. It offers a simple and economical way for your company to keep up with the latest technological trends. Also buying new technology every time is not possible and you can soon run out of pocket. The alternative that works for everyone is equipment leasing.

You can always have the most up to date computer equipment with leasing and when the lease contract is over, better equipment can be leased again. Computer equipment leasing requires only a small initial investment. It is a great choice if you’re facing an urgent technology need and don’t have the cash on hand. You can have 100% finance for leasing with tax deductible plans. You will have fixed monthly payments that preserve your cash and bank lines. Technology graveyard has engulfed the companies these days. Somewhere down the line their property is filled with old hardware. With leasing, however, when the contract is up, you simply return the obsolete equipment to the vendor instead of storing it in your warehouse or back closet.

You should know four points before you choose equipment leasing:-

1.Know your computer needs and compare them with your financial status and projections in order understand the true costs of leasing. 2.Consult with a tax accountant or find information on your own for the tax implications of leasing. 3.Find and make a deal with a vendor who is willing to lease the equipment to you for the time you require it at a price you can afford and are willing to pay. 4.Before you sign the contract, know all the costs involved including the security and hidden costs. Your security amount should be mentioned in the lease contract as well as the terns under which it will be returned after the contract is over. Fill out the lease agreement form, sign it and get a copy of the signed agreement for your records.

Points to Remember

The equipment can become obsolete in just 3 or 4 years or sometimes before that also. You can easily expand the lease or replace the equipment in the mid of the contract. You does not owe the responsibility of the equipment. A better option to rent that has tax implications and other financing.

Buying a Home in South West Florida For 0% Down and No Closing Costs

If you’ve read this far and clicked on this article, you’re probably thinking one of two things.

1.) How can I take advantage of this program?
2.) What kind of scam is this guy spinning here?

Hopefully you were thinking both! It’s good to be cautious, especially in this day and age. There are plenty of scams out there. There are plenty of people trying to take advantage of people in these low economic times. After hearing about this program though, you’ll be able to do your own research, ask around, and discover that yes, this is actually a real, government backed program.

What is it? It’s called a USDA loan. That’s right, USDA. I know what you’re thinking: “What, are you trying to do, get me to buy a cow?” It is the same USDA you are used to hearing about. The United States Department of Agriculture. Yes, they have their seal stamped in the front of packages of good beef. But they also offer home loans. Needless to say, the USDA is a government agency, one committed to helping rural and agricultural areas. In their efforts to help develop these areas, they are offering loans with 100% financing (0% down) that allow you to roll the closing costs into the loan.

In other words, No Down Payment, No Closing Costs What you also might not have known is that almost all of Collier County and much of Lee county and Charlotte County (in other words, most of South West Florida) are designated either rural or rural fringe areas, both qualifying for USDA loans.

Can anybody qualify for a USDA loan?

No. There are restrictions based on location and income. If you have a 6-figure income and are looking to buy a $ 900,000 condo on the water in Downtown Naples, I’m not sure why you would need 0% down or no closing costs–and, this program isn’t going to help you. However, if you are making in the area of $ 40k-50k per year or less, then you are shaping up nicely as someone that might benefit from this program. Each county is different, and the income restrictions are different for single buyers, married, and buyers with families, but you can check on updated restrictions on the USDA website.

How can I learn if I qualify?

If you are interested in buying a house in a rural fringe area, in SWFL or anywhere else, you are going to need to check if the loan is available in your area. The USDA website listed below will help guide you there. An easy way to do this would also be to speak with a Loan Officer that has access to the program. My company does, and we’d be happy to help you see if you qualify!
