FHA Loans vs Conventional Loans - Proof that FHA home loans with 5% down after major change are still cheaper 09-01-10 - 12:39 PM
 

FHA loans have been one of the main focal points in today's real estate transactions. Two main reasons for this is that it comes to the down payment and the credit scores. In the past, some loan officers were using other types of financing that were easier for them, but not suited best for the borrower. What I do hate hearing is that FHA mortgages have taken the spot of the subprime loans. This is not true at all. This statement is very misleading. Many subprime loans should have gone FHA and that is just a fact. 
But why … (5 comments)

total market performance yaer to year comparision - 10:26 AM
below is the relationship by year of active ,pending  closed sales. based on the rate of sales so far this year and the amount of the market that occurs in the last third of the year it indicates unit volume for sales should end up approximately 10% below last year. i not sure we will get quite that close because last year we had the tax credit rush in September and October which we will not have have this year. which would leasd me to belive a lower rate of sales through the end of the year

Down Hill - 11:19 PM
 
Real estestate activity 2004 to 2006 up mucho. $2006 to 2008 down mucho. This is your fault because you should never have recommended to your client that they can "afford it".
Not my fault! Oh I don't think so. You were living beyond your means just like the loan officer. Take responsibility for your greed. I reduced my credit card debt in this period to zero, and have reduced mortgage debt by half.

Our Beach House is Gonna Be Famous - 03:19 PM
So, here I am, trying to get ready to go on vacation and what happens?
Hurricane Earl is heading straight for our beach house on the Outer Banks of NC and we're heading off on vacation out of the country.  Normally, I am glued to the weather news and to www.hurricanetrack.com.  We happened to "meet" Mark Sudduth of www.hurricanetrack.com online last year during a particularly bad nor'easter (Nor'Ida).  He ended up going to our beach house and setting up his equipment in order to stream live video from our cottage.  We have been fans ever since.
Mark is on the Outer Banks now, with an … (18 comments)

The Real Reason I Wholesale... It's Not Just The Money Either - 03:18 PM
I thought I might share some lessons and observations that I have made while being a landlord...
I swear on at least 2 of my Tenants graves... EVERYONE of these things really did happen...  and by the way, shame on you for thinking the only reason I stuck with wholesaling was I wanted easy money...This is the real reason ;-)
1. If someone gets shot in your house, regular carpet cleaner (Resolve) does not work to remove the nasty stuff that comes out when you get shot.  And, even crackheads will puke when they smell it.
2. Normal people do not … (0 comments)
