Flip or Flop, Fixer Upper and Property Brothers are some of the most popular shows on television. They all are based around the same concept: a family gets a home in disarray, completes a major renovation, and either sell it for a big profit, or live in it.Though, perception is sometimes deception.“They’re beautiful homes and everything, but it’s just not reality,” said Travis Tomlinson, owner of Lokal Real Estate.Tomlinson has been buying, flipping and selling homes for years in Northeast Ohio. He even holds classes for people wanting to learn how to get into the business. He said it’s not uncommon to have clients believe they can do more than they should, faster than they should, and end up getting in over their heads.‘It’s kind of flooding the market, actually,” he said. “They get themselves in a real bind because they don’t have the experience and they don’t have the knowledge.”According to Tomlinson, the first mistake most rookie flippers make is overpaying for the property.“If you purchase wrong it’s really hard to make a profit on it,” he said.Marnie Mekruit is a staging professional and works with Staged by L, a local company that stages flipped homes for clients. She said if you overpay right away, you’ll have less money for unforeseen bumps in the road and for important steps like staging.“If you’ve ever done a small home improvement in your house, like refinished your bathroom, you know, it took six months longer than you ever thought it was going to take and it ends up being twice as expensive as you thought it was going to be,” said Mekruit. “Extrapolate that to a whole property and all of the problems that can happen, all the things that come up that you just never plan for, and many people are just not prepared for that.”Professionals note that the timeline of the shows can be a little unrealistic.“They come in with a team of 15 to 20 guys and they're getting done in one day what it takes me maybe a week to do,” said local contractor Curt Yoder.While the flips are beautiful and extravagant, it’s best to start small.“A lot of people maybe go too far on the renovations they plan on doing,” Tomlinson said.Laura Fulton, a staging professional and the owner of Staged by L, echoed his sentiment.“A lot of times what they’ll do is they’ll either under budget or they’ll over improve,” said Fulton.But she said perhaps the biggest misconception on television vs. reality is the profit.“It's not realistic you're going to make that money,” she said. “Maybe in certain areas, California, and other places you can, but for our area, typically, you don't see those kind of profits.” 2636

Former Peruvian president Alan Garcia died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head as police were preparing to arrest him on corruption charges Wednesday.His death was confirmed by current President Martin Vizcarra, who expressed his condolences over Twitter."Devastated by the death of former President Alan Garcia, I send my condolences to his family and loved ones," Vizcarra wrote.Garcia, 69, was rushed to the hospital in the capital Lima on Wednesday in critical condition, the state news agency Andina reported."The former president made the decision to shoot himself," his lawyer Erasmo Reyna said outside the Casimiro Ulloa hospital.Carlos Morán, the interior minister, said in an interview with CNN affiliate TV Peru that police arrived at Garcia's home at 6.30 a.m. to execute an arrest warrant.When police arrived, Garcia asked them to call his attorney and then he entered his bedroom, Morán said. Moments later, a gunshot was heard. Officers forced entry into the bedroom and found Garcia in a sitting position with a wound to the head.The ministry of health later issued a statement confirming Garcia had an entry and exit wound to the head.Garcia, who served as president from 1985 to 1990 and from 2006 to 2011, was under investigation for bribery in connection with a massive corruption scandal that has engulfed a number of former Latin American leaders.Sources close to the investigation told CNN that Peruvian authorities had issued an order for his immediate arrest.Garcia is accused of receiving kickbacks from one of Latin America's largest construction firms -- the Brazil-based company Odebrecht -- during the building of an electric train for the Lima metro while he was president during his second term. He has denied the claims.In his most recent tweet, posted on Tuesday, Garcia said there was "no shred of evidence" against him, accused Peruvian prosecutors of "SPECULATION," and said he had "never sold out and that is proven."In November last year, Garcia had requested asylum at the Uruguayan embassy after a judge banned him from leaving the country for 18 months. The Uruguayan government denied the request in December.Global corruption scandalOdebrecht is accused of doling out nearly 0 million in bribes between 2001 and 2016 to get contracts from governments to build roads, bridges, dams and highways.Authorities say Odebrecht officials shipped cash across the globe -- from one shell bank account to the next -- en route to politicians' pockets in a dozen countries, including Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, and Mozambique. Some of the bribes filtered through the United States.The corruption scandal -- one of the biggest in modern history -- implicated several former Latin American presidents.Last year, Peruvian President 2806

Forecasters may not be expecting a severe hurricane season this year, but a few major storms could still threaten the Atlantic coast.The Atlantic hurricane season officially kicks off Saturday -- even after Subtropical Storm Andrea briefly spun up near Bermuda last week -- and will run through November 30.The nation's top hurricane forecasters have predicted a near-normal season with "a lot" of storms. Nine to 15 named storms, including four to eight hurricanes, could form in the Atlantic.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, said the season won't likely be as violent as last year's above-average season when hurricanes Florence and Michael slammed the United States, killing nearly 100 people and causing billions of dollars in damage.But they are warning that two to four hurricanes could still grow to Category 3 or stronger. Those storms carry winds of 111 to 129 mph."That's still a lot of activity," said Gerry Bell, NOAA's lead hurricane forecaster. "We are expecting a near-normal season but regardless, that's a lot of activity and you still need to prepare for the hurricane season now."Would a hurricane hit the US?While the forecast does not specifically predict where those storms might strike, weather officials are urging all US coastal residents to prepare for a tropical storm or hurricane, because the past two years have been devastating.In 2017, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria put a dramatic end to a 12-year period with no major hurricane landfalls in the United States and ranked among the costliest hurricanes in history.Millions of people in Texas, Louisiana, southwest Florida, North Carolina and Puerto Rico are still reeling from the trio of hurricanes.A fourth storm, Hurricane Nate, also made US landfall, but never reached major hurricane level.Last year, Florence arrived during the season's peak to pummel the Carolinas. Then, Hurricane Michael slammed the Florida Panhandle with frightening fury and later socked Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia.El Ni?o could lead to fewer stormsEl Ni?o, the periodic weather event characterized by warming ocean temperatures, tends to weaken hurricanes but that could change if the weather is warmer.Neil Jacobs, the acting NOAA administrator, said warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, as well as enhanced storm activity moving off West Africa, would favor increased activity.El Ni?o could also weaken quicker than anticipated, creating conditions that would be more favorable for storm development by peak season in September.The opposite is also true: If El Ni?o strengthens more than anticipated, it could keep tropical storm activity on the lower end of NOAA's range.Weather officials say El Ni?o has a 55% to 60% chance of continuing through the fall.Hurricane ready? Supplies are tax-free in FloridaFloridians are getting a little help from authorities to build their own hurricane emergency kit.Residents can buy emergency supplies free of sales taxes from May 31 until June 6. The discount includes ice packs, batteries, flashlights, coolers and items worth up to 0, such as portable generators."While living in and visiting Florida offers many benefits and advantages, it is important to keep the potential for severe weather hazards and threats in mind," said Jim Zingale, executive director of the Florida Department of Revenue.The holiday tax was passed by Florida lawmakers and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May.A storm formed early -- againFor the past five years, a winter hurricane and a series of tropical storms have formed before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season. Subtropical Storm Andrea continued that trend in May.The short-lived storm made this the fifth consecutive year that a named storm has formed before the season's official start.Hurricane Alex, an unusual winter hurricane, formed in January 2016 in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean.Meantime, April saw the advent of Tropical Storm Arlene in 2017, while May ushered in Tropical Storm Ana in 2015 and Tropical Storm Alberto in 2018.The recent rise in off-season storms has raised questions about the impact of climate change and whether the time frame should begin sooner.But weather officials have said they would need more evidence of a considerable change before making a final decision.In the past 12 years, there have been at least six named storms right before hurricane season officially started -- during the second half of May -- but in the 31 years before that, there was "a lack of any such activity" in the same time frame, said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman with the National Hurricane Center. 4708
