Wanna sell your house ... not so fast buckaroo

[eightymesh]

Read it and weap, so you think you can sell that house


Something every home owner should be made aware of!




>> Don't want to be bothered with "Political stuff?" You'd better read

>> this one. It will come as a huge shock to you if you aren't informed as

>> to what Obama is up to, and apparently it has already passed one hurdle.

>> It will take very little now to put it into actual law!! YOU'D BETTER

>> WAKE UP AMERICA !!!! So you think you live in a free country, boy have

>> you got a surprise coming.

>>

>> A License Required for your HOUSE?

>>

>> If you own your home you really need to check this out. At the end of

>> this email is the Google link to verify. If the country thinks the

>> housing market is depressed now, wait until everyone sees this; no one

>> will be buying homes in the future.

>>

>> We encourage you to read the provisions of the Cap and Trade Bill that

>> has passed the House of Representatives and being considered by the

>> Senate. We are ready to join the next march on Washington ! This Congress

>> and whoever on their staffs that write this junk are truly out to destroy

>> the middle class of the U.S.A ....

>>

>> A License will be required for your house...no longer just for cars and

>> mobile homes....Thinking about selling your house. Take a look at H.R.

>> 2454 (Cap and Trade bill). This is unbelievable! Only the beginning

>> from this administration! Home owners take note & tell your friends and

>> relatives who are home owners!

>>

>> Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be

>> able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy

>> and water efficiency standards of this Act. H.R. 2454, the "Cap & Trade"

>> bill passed by the House of Representatives, if it is also passed by the

>> Senate, will be the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.

>>

>> The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that

>> in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be

>> $6,800 per year. No one is excluded. However, once the lower classes

>> feel the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure these voters get a tax

>> refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. Thus,

>> you Mr. And Mrs. Middle Class have to pay even more since additional tax

>> dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else..

>>

>> But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has

>> many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this: A year from

>> now you won't be able to sell your house. Yes, you read that right.

>>

>> The caveat is (there always is a caveat) that if you have enough money to

>> make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if

>> not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are

>> included. In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home

>> without the permission of the EPA administrator.

>>

>> To get this permission,you will have to have the energy efficiency of

>> your home measured. Then the government will tell you what your new

>> energy efficiency requirement is and you will be forced to make

>> modifications to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act to

>> comply with the new energy and water efficiency requirements.

>>

>> Then you will have to get your home measured again and get a license

>> (called a "label" in the Act) that must be posted on your property to

>> show what your efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star

>> efficiency rating label on your

>> refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don't get a high enough rating,

>> you can't sell.

>>

>> And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every

>> year, even above the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the

>> Act. The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap

>> & Trade program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of

>> 2009") and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations

>> and standards he/she alone determines to be in the government's best

>> interest. Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass

>> Congress; then the Administrator can set much tougher new standards every

>> year.

>>

>> The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency

>> for private and commercial residences and buildings. However, the EPA

>> administrator can set higher standards at any time. Sect. 202 Building

>> Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the

>> energy efficiency of all existing homes across America.

>>

>> Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Act, you won't be able to sell

>> your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water

>> efficiency standards of this Act. You had better sell soon, because the

>> standards will be raised each year and will be really hard (I.e.,

>> ex$pen$ive) to meet in a few years. Oh, goody!

>>

>> The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand

>> dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements IF you meet

>> certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional

>> requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants. You should expect

>> requirements such as "can't have an income of more than $50K per year",

>> "home selling price can't be more than $125K", or anything else to target

>> the upper middle class (and that's YOU) and prevent them from qualifying

>> for the grants.

>>

>> Most of us won't get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the

>> retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more "change

>> you can believe in." Sect. 204 Building Energy Performance Labeling

>> Program establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence

>> will

>> identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for "at least 90

>> percent of the residential market within 5 years after the date of the

>> enactment of this Act."

>>

>> This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S.

>> must be measured and labeled. The EPA administrator will get $50M each

>> year to enforce the labeling program. The Secretary of the Department of

>> Energy will get an additional $20M each year to help enforce the labeling

>> program. Some of this money will, of course, be spent on coming up with

>> tougher standards each year...

>>

>> Oh, the label will be like a license for your car. You will be required

>> to post the label in a conspicuous location in your home and will not be

>> allowed to sell your home without having this label. And, just like your

>> car license, you will probably be required to get a new label every so

>> often - maybe every year.

>>

>> But, the government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency

>> of your home should only cost about $200 each time. Remember what they

>> said about the auto smog inspections when they first started: that in

>> California it would only cost $15.

>>

>> That was when the program started. Now the cost is about $50 for the

>> inspection and certificate; a 333% increase. Expect the same from the

>> home labeling program. Sect. 304 Greater Energy Efficiency in Building

>> Codes establishes new energy efficiency guidelines for the National

>> Building Code and mandates at 304(d) that 1 year after enactment of this

>> Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the National Building

>> Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a certification from the

>> federal government that their state and/or local codes have been brought

>> into full compliance with the National Building Code energy efficiency

>> standards.
