Recently the lending industry has seen a big boom in 15 year mortgages, which is helping people get out of debt faster, and reduce the interest they’re paying on their mortgages.  Five years ago refinances were all about debt consolidation or simply lowering your payments, but with these rocky economic times, people are wising up about the stress of carrying too much debt.   More and more people are now seeing today's lower interest rates as a chance to reduce the amount of time they are in debt, many times shaving off … (1 comments)

Recently, northwest Florida received some 20-30 inches of rain in a single weekend, causing some significant flooding throughout the area.  It was a rude awakening to some folks who thought they had plenty of time before Hurricane season hit full swing, and perhaps were caught ill-prepared for the storm.  In 2011, we also witnessed some catastrophic natural disasters...from the flooding in the Northeast from Hurricane Irene, to the wildfires in Texas, and of course the unbelievable destruction from the tornados in Joplin, Missouri.  These … (3 comments)

pensacola real estate: Robo-Signers vs. Robo-Cop: Battle to the Death - 10/13/10 12:02 PM
I can still remember that moment like it was yesterday.  The movie scene starts out harmless and with little fanfare, but it quickly spirals downward into a graphic smorgasbord of blasting guns, spraying blood, and tearing human flesh.  To shield my innocent mind from a lifetime of trauma, my mom quickly reacted with the classic "hand over eyes" maneuver that is a staple in any caring mother's repertoire (second only to the extended "arm over chest" action during any sudden stops in the car).  This maternal move was usually reserved for extended love scenes (the clay molding scene in "Ghost" comes … (1 comments)

pensacola real estate: Pensacola Beach - As Beautiful As Ever! - 06/21/10 07:58 AM

My family and I live right in Pensacola, just minutes from the beach, and yet … (0 comments)
