Snider grads come together on film project LIVESTRONG

By VALERIE CAVIGLIA
vcaviglia@kpcnews.net
Long time friends, Jeff Bemiss
and Tom Hargis couldn’t help but
reminisce as they thought back on
their time together as students at
Snider High School in the 80s.
“Everybody knew Jeff in high
school,” Hargis said. “If you could

Snider graduate, Kendra Mellinger,
the film is set to begin production
this fall.
“It was a social media success
story,” Mellinger said of coming to
work with the film. In high school,
she hung out with a different crowd
than Hargis and Bemiss.
“She was just kind of one of those
fun, smiling people that are really
positive, but I didn't know her really

Against Cancer Lobby Day
May 23-24 in Washington, DC. Organizations at the
event are not there to ask for money, but to champion the
funding of cancer research, navigation systems and
cancer screening programs.
Colbert was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April
2008, however he noticed changes in his body over eight
years prior. Doctors did not look for the disease because
he was young, active and healthy in every way. Colbert
went through hormone therapy and radiation. Because the
cancer went undetected in early stages, it became aggres-
sive and surgery could not stop its spread to other parts of
his body. Two years after his diagnosis, the cancer metas-
tasized to his bones. Now, he is on chemotherapy.
Colbert has stage four incurable cancer.

The film is not the first
time Hargis and Bemiss
have worked together on a
project. There have been
dozens over the years.
“At Snider, there was
this thing for the Orange
Juice Growers of
America. Every high
school could submit one
video. So Tom and I and
some other people were
doing a submission for
Snider High School,”
Bemiss said.
“We were trying to
create a desert scene at the
Indiana Dunes. It was like
our first big on-location
shoot,” Hargis joked.
The two actually met
outside of school, at a
radio, TV and film camp
at Indiana University
when they were both
interns at Fort Wayne TV
stations WPTA and
WANE. They both knew
from a young age that
they wanted to be film-
makers one day. For
Bemiss, it was the first
time he saw “Star Wars”
at 8 years old.
“That just really set my
imagination on fire. It
really did send a genera-
tion of people to film
school,” Bemiss said.
It was different for
Hargis.
“I was actually not
inspired by Star Wars,” he
said. “I liked it but the
thing that got me going
was when I first really
drawing of where the
camera would go, and
fans to part the water. So
even way back then, I was
fascinated with the
process of filmmaking.
Once I went to film
school, it certainly made
sense to my mom and dad
why I watched so much
TV.”
Both friends ended up
at the University of
Southern California in
film studies. Mellinger got
her undergraduate degree
at Manchester College and
eventually relocated to
California in 2000 where
she now manages her
marketing company,
Integrity Content.
After college, Bemiss
and Hargis found success
on their independent film,
“The Book and the Rose”
when it was short listed
for an Oscar nomination.
Making the small budget
film was a challenging
time for both.
“We made it, but yeah it
was emotionally taxing
and exhausting physically.
Not exactly the ideal way
to work, but our working
relationship was great. It
made the other tough proj-
ects we worked on seem
“That's true, you know
when you're starting out,
you really are limited,”
said Bemiss.
“A Long Tomorrow” is
a mystery romance about
a young physics professor
named Julian Farrow
whose car transports him
back to 1959 when he
saves the lives of a young
couple. When Julian and
his younger brother try to
figure out how it
happened, they both fall
for a young woman who
turns out to be the
daughter of the couple
Julian saved, who
shouldn't even exist. The
brothers struggle against
each other to win her love,
but when both his brother
and the woman die in a
horrible accident, Julian
must figure out how to
bend time to bring them
back.
The team is currently
packaging the film, trying
to put together a crew and
assemble actors for each
role. In the fall, produc-
tion will begin on “A
Long Tomorrow” in
Connecticut, but there
could be plans to bring
work back to Indiana with
a future project.

assisted living community
After completing renovations of
the former Holiday Inn hotel, Lamp-
light Inn of Fort Wayne’s downtown
community for seniors is now open
and accepting residents with assisted
living needs.
Since September, the assisted
living facility has operated as a
community for independent seniors.
They now offer assisted living care
and services, as well as accept the
Medicaid Aged and Disabled Waiver.
The community is a 170-unit
senior residence complete with
common areas, dining room, beauty
salon and a physical therapy center.
Waynedale residents Bobby and
Brandie Petras have lived and
worked in the Fort Wayne area for
over eight years. Bobby relocated to
the area after college to play arena
football for the Fort Wayne
Freedom.
“After moving here, my wife and I
decided it was a great town to start a
family,” he said, “and most recently,
we brought our family business
here.”
The couple will also open Café
Fraiche in the lobby of Lamplight
Inn in May. The café, open week-
days from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., will offer
coffee and a small menu of breakfast
and lunch items.

Home-Based Business Fair caters to growing job force trend

In this country, 85 percent of companies now offer
their staff some form of flexible working schedule,
according to a new global research report from Regus.
Hundreds of work-from-home job postings plaster
websites like CareerBuilder, but they often lead
nowhere or demand money from the applicant,
throwing up all kinds of red flags.
So where are all of the flexible working jobs?
Women’s Enterprise [WE] is offering the first Home-
Based Business Fair June 4 at Glenbrook Mall from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. The organization wants to help people
who are looking to start their own businesses, grow
existing businesses or find other sources of income
opportunities.
Last year, home-based businesses grew from 16.5
million in 2008 to 18.3 million in 2010, according to
Census data compiled by Framingham, Mass.-based
IDC, a global market research firm. On a national level,
44 percent of home-based businesses get started for less
than $5k and are low risk which makes it easy for
people to dream of owning their own business.
The fair will include workshops on managing and
growing a home-based business, taxes and legal issues,
marketing, financial resources and large companies that
outsource contractors for functions such as billing and
collections.
This free event also offers product samplings, free
business portraits, on-site demonstrations and entertain-
ment for hundreds of attendees.
As certified credit counselors, WE staff helps busi-
ness owners and potential owners prepare to manage
their businesses. Women’s Enterprise is the only SBA
Certified Federal Procurement Trainer in northeast
Indiana.

(ALLEN COUNTY) The nationwide credit
crisis may have turned “the American
dream” into an extended nightmare for
many Indiana home buyers and sellers.
Banks and mortgage lenders (who are
not going out of business) have tightened up
their lending requirements to the point
where many home buyers today can no
longer qualify for a mortgage.
Record foreclosures, rising unemployment,
losses in the financial markets and the
current credit crunch have not only reduced
the number of buyers who can buy but have
also increased the number of houses that
sellers need to sell.
Prices are under pressure as home sellers
lower their asking price to attract a buyer,
and as lenders resell their foreclosed homes
below market value.
And it’s turning into a vicious cycle --
as many buyers need to sell their current
home first -- and many sellers (unless they
plan to rent) need new financing to get into
their next home. As a result, a sea of real
estate agents, mortgage brokers and home
builders are going out of business. These
professionals are in the business of serving
buyers and sellers. But that’s hard to do
with the credit crisis when the entire real
estate industry traditionally relies on
mortgage lending to finance buyers and get
houses sold.
What can homeowners do to sell their
homes? How can buyers get financing if
they can’t meet the tougher lending criteria
on credit scores, income verification, down
payment amounts and debt ratios?
There’s one local real estate profes-
sional who has found a way to make
things work even with the present bank-
ing crisis. Mike MacDonald is the president
of Summit City Investments, Inc. Since
1999, his private investment company has
been buying houses throughout the Allen
County, IN region without ever relying on
banks.
MacDonald’s company takes over
existing mortgages or brings in private
lenders allowing him to pay homeowners
all cash for the properties. He then offers his
properties for rent or “for sale by owner”
using a variety of unique seller financing
programs.
By taking a long term approach and
never relying on banks, business has never
been better for MacDonald and his
company.
“Most sellers are unaware
of the options we offer.
What they need most is a
qualified buyer... and we
might just be that buyer.
We can buy houses in as-is
condition, pay top dollar
and close in just a few
days… or whenever they’re
ready.”
Mike says it’s normal for people to
think they must be desperate before calling
him to buy their house. “It’s a very common
misconception. But until I look at a house
and do some research, I won’t know my
game plan for the property or what I can
offer. But after a single visit to the property
and meeting with the homeowners I can let
them know exactly what I can do. My offer
is good for 7 days and it’s only at that point,
with my offer on the table, that a seller can
decide if I’m going to become their buyer.”
In fact, price is not an issue for
MacDonald. As an investor, what’s impor-
tant to him is the determination of what
income the property can produce. “It’s easy
to determine. I also do an appraisal and
look at the recent comparable sales. Then I
do whatever I can to offer a seller up to full
price today -- or about what they might net
sometime in the future pursuing a more
conventional route. What I can pay depends
on the condition, location and financing
options available for that type of property.
It only takes about 10 minutes to prescreen
a property over the phone and to set an
appointment. We typically buy 1 out of
every 4 properties we see. In fact, for about
half of those I have purchased, the seller
pursued their other options and then came
to realize that my offer was the best all
along.”
MacDonald believes the three biggest
reasons a house doesn’t sell are: 1) it is
overpriced, 2) it is poorly marketed, or 3) it
is not fixed up to show well. “I can pay a
fair price on a home that needs work. I
might even plan to increase the value or
marketability by adding a
bedroom or bath, finishing a
basement or installing a new
heating system. Brand new carpet
and paint will go a long way to
attract a qualified buyer. But I
understand that many sellers
don’t have the time, inclination or
money to remodel a house... just to
get it sold. We solve that problem
for sellers.”
Overpricing a home
could be the biggest mistake.
Listing agents sometimes suggest
(or a seller might decide) to ask for
a higher price than needed. This
might be to test the market or leave wiggle
room to negotiate. However, this can
backfire if the seller wants (or needs) a
quick sale, or when the “days on the
market” stacks up causing buyers to wonder
what’s wrong with the property.
Another misconception about how
Mike MacDonald buys houses is the idea
that he’s probably looking for sellers in
financial distress. “Look, when a seller is
out of time or out of options, then I’m
usually their best solution -- if their
property is not over-financed. But most
people headed for foreclosure are either
overleveraged or actually looking to save
their house. If I buy the house the seller
must move. They really need to get into a
more affordable home... but sometimes I
can help by swapping properties.”
MacDonald warns about companies and
real estate investors who target distressed
homeowners. “Recent laws have been
passed in Indiana that apply to any business
and investor who targets people in foreclo-
sure. Be cautious, do your research and
perhaps seek legal advice when anyone
wants to charge you an upfront fee for
helping to get your loan modified, or... if
they’re promising to lease the home back to
you. That rarely works out like the
borrower expects and can lead to accusa-
tions of fraud. Perhaps rightly so.”
What does a real estate investor like
Mike MacDonald do with the houses he
buys each month? What about the
hundreds of houses his company has bought
throughout Allen County, Indiana over the
last 11 years? Simple. He rents them out or
resells them. “We’re usually managing 50
to 60 properties at any given time -- making
us one of the largest owners of single family
homes in the area. Each month we may
have 5 to 10 houses for sale. Some we’ve
owned for years and others we have
recently bought.”
With a reasonable down payment,
MacDonald says he can sell you one of his
properties using his popular owner financ-
ing programs -- even if you have damaged
credit or a short job history.
“If you can afford a first
month’s rent, a last
month’s rent and a security
deposit, then I can
probably sell you one of my
houses.”
His most popular owner financing
program includes the opportunity to
build “sweat equity.” Before repairing or
remodeling a newly acquired house,
MacDonald offers it in “as-is” condition to
his buyer’s list. This allows his client to do done every chance we get. In fact, some-
the work (to suit their own preferences) in
exchange for all or part of a down payment.
“I have a lot of buyers who check my
website each week looking for these ‘fixer
upper’ deals. But if the home is not under
contract within 10 days or so then I’ll hire
my contractors to fix it up completely.”
His next most popular program is a
down payment assistance plan. Many
buyers turn to MacDonald’s company
because they don’t have the down payment
required by today’s cautious lenders. Mike
helps buyers build up equity or a down
payment over time with his rent-to-own (or
lease with the option to buy) program. In
this program you can rent the property
you’ve decided to buy, but have the option
to close anytime over the next 1, 2... or even them at (260) 485-9437 or visit them online
5 years. A portion of the rent each month is
credited toward buying. Additional
amounts can be paid monthly for more
rapid equity build up plus other promised
amounts can be made later... like proceeds
from the sale of another property or a
pending tax refund.
Once the buyer has enough “skin” in
the deal, MacDonald can close with
owner financing at the predetermined,
mutually agreed upon price and terms. Or
the buyer can close with a new bank loan. SUMMIT CITY INVESTMENTS, INC. is

able things given even a short 6 to 12
months to work on a file. This also helps out
some sellers who have found themselves in
over their head.”
“We do everything we can to get our
buyers permanent bank financing. It’s a
win-win because we pay sellers all cash and
fund our deals with private lenders. Our
lenders are mostly local individuals seeking
alternatives to low bank CD rates. They
earn 8 to 10% interest on real estate notes
well-secured by our properties. When we
get our buyer cashed out, we finally make
our money and can payoff our investor.
These investors usually want to reinvest
allowing us to buy even more houses.”
Unfortunately many of the mortgage
programs once available are now gone. It’s
reported that 75% of the available lending
disappeared when FHA changed their rules
last October and again early this year. But,
if you have money to put down and can
prove your income, there are still loans
available now. In fact, some rural develop-
ment loans and VA loans still allow quali-
fied buyers to borrow with no money down.
“We help all of our buyers get a bank
loan as quickly as possible... or we finance
them ourselves. But we’ve never relied on
banks. That keeps us in control and main-
tains our sanity. But we get those loans
times a buyer can qualify and doesn’t even
know it. Other times they can qualify but
need a flexible seller. We’re one of the most
creative and flexible sellers you’ll ever
find,” says MacDonald.
Does buying or selling a home have to
be difficult? Maybe not!
“President Obama says today's
economy is the worst since the Great
Depression and it may take many years to
recover. Unfortunately I think he’s right
and so do many sharp economists.”
